Transitus Tiber

Life as a Catholic wife and mother

It’s here!

True to the “it’s like Christmas!” feeling, I woke up early today and couldn’t fall back asleep. I remembered that I needed to scrub and reload a laptop to give to my mom today, so that’s what I’ve been doing (anything to keep my mind off of tonight ). Honestly, I don’t know when I [...]
