The Welcome Mat

The origin of This House You’re Building was drawn from the Homily at our Wedding Mass on May 30, 2015.

When our family first began our house-building journey in April 2017, we were reminded during prayer of our own call to build a house for God in this world – not just physically, but more importantly spiritually. The way to create a sure foundation and a sturdy, lasting structure is through Christ, our Cornerstone and Guide, and of course work on our part. It is my prayer that this platform will provide a glimpse of the joys and hardships that come with building up our family with authenticity.

I’m glad you stopped by and visited our little corner of the internet! This has become a creative outlet as I learn my way through life & make the most of it with my family. Here you’ll find content on anything related to our faith journey, our domestic church – the family, projects on our builder-grade home, as well as learning how to reduce our waste as a house and to seek a slower lifestyle. Hopefully among the teachable moments we share on life’s big or small moments, you’ll find something that will pique your interest, tug at your heart, or leave an impression.

And finally, just as all are welcome into our physical home, know that you are warmly welcome into our virtual home as well. Come on in, take off those shoes, and let’s chat!
