Fifth Sunday of Lent: Called to Trust in God’s Timing With Patience and Faith
Sunday, 22 March 2026. If there’s one thing I’ve learned this year, it’s that life rarely follows the script we write for it. At the start Lent I had these grand plans for all the fasting and almsgiving I’d be doing, and then… well, life happens. Recently, I’ve hit a wall. I’m struggling with fasting…
Midweek Magic: 5 Dalmatian Inspired Dinners That Don’t Require All Day
Friday, 20 March 2026. We all have those Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday nights where the expectations and pressure of everyday life can feel like a lot. Between checking in on everyone, showing up at work, and the demands of a busy home, the last thing anyone needs is a twenty-step recipe that requires a culinary…
Week 4 Check-In: The Mid-Lent Slump is Real (A.K.A. How Much Longer?)
Wednesday, 18 March 2026. I think it’s safe to say that we’ve officially hit that point in the Lenten journey where the initial adrenaline has evaporated. The energy of Ash Wednesday is a distant memory, the sacrifices you picked feel harder with each day, and the finish line still feels a million miles away. For…
Fourth Sunday of Lent: Laetare Sunday
Sunday, 15 March 2026. This week we come to the fourth Sunday in Lent, also known as Laetare Sunday, where we look at the triumph of light over darkness. There’s something about the story in John 9:1–41 that feels very familiar the older I get. Maybe it’s because by the time you reach your fifties,…
Flashback Friday: Revisiting Some Favourite Foodie Memories
Friday, 13 march 2026. Is flashback Friday still a thing or am I showing my age yet again? The #flashbackfriday and #throwbackthursday posts were some of my favourite to read back in the day. There were also #wordlesswednesdays showcasing beautiful photography, which I’ve always loved too. Anyway. Speaking of photography, I went looking for a…
Fritule: Dalmatian Mini Doughnuts That Taste Like Heaven
Thursday, 12 March 2026 Fritule are another of those treasured memories from my childhood, Baba’s specialty sweet that no-one had the strength to resist. Golden fried balls of dough with plump juicy sultanas inside (not negotiable for me, but for some strange reason not everyone loves them???), they’re a little boozy, a lot more-ish, and…
How to Successfully Overcome The Facebook Unfriending Dilemma
Wednesday, 11 March 2026. We’ve all been there. You’re scrolling through your Facebook feed when you see a photo of a very impressive sourdough starter or a political rant written in all caps, and you think to yourself: “Wait, who is this person, and why am I being forced to hear about Trump before I’ve…
Third Sunday In Lent: Called To Seek The Living water
Sunday, 8 March 2026. On the third Sunday of Lent, the Gospel gives us the story of Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well. It’s a quiet, ordinary moment: a tired traveller stopping for water in the middle of the day. There He encounters a stranger, a woman drawing water during the hottest part…
How To Successfully Fail A Shopping Ban In Under Thirty Minutes
Saturday, 7 March 2026. Yep. The title basically says it all. Friends, if you were looking for a shining example of Lenten discipline and willpower… you might want to look away. I officially crashed the car, and not only crashed but in a spectacular fashion. And by crashed I mean I walked into a store…
