Usually 4 creams and 2 sugar or a latte with 2 raw sugar, if you are in a fancy sort of mood.
I am a multi-racial woman, married, mother of three (!), devout Roman Catholic and I guess I would be best described as “neo-traditionalist.” I wear a Chapel Veil or Hat at Mass, I have a serious devotion to St. Mary (because she is such a role model for women and mothers,) and I think that St. Mary Magdalene can teach us all a thing or two. I love to read, knit, crochet, sew, and a good craft beer.
Before I was mom, I was a high school science teacher and education is a passion of mine. The Mister and I pretty much practice attachment parenting and both of my girls were extended breastfeeders (DD1 until 30 mos, DD2 until 26 mos) and I am currently nursing The Moosch (DS.) I hold Bachelors and Masters degrees from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and I currently reside in Pasadena with my husband, two daughters, a son… and a mini-van. Oy.
How do I do it all?
Coffee. Lots and lots of coffee.
(How do you think I got the blog name?)

Love your blog…found you through Catholic Mothers online and being a caffeine addict myself, couldn’t resist a visit. I really like your blog and your writing and you put a smile on my face : ) Hope you will visit sometime!
Hello, I just found your blog. Its awesome to find other mommies advocating their faith. My husband and I experienced our conversion (re-version for me) shortly after we were married and our life hasn’t been the same since. We just had our first child, Nathanael (John 1:45) in February and I am excited to teach him about Jesus and the saints. We are big believers and promoters of NFP and love to tell people about TOB. I do enjoy coffee myself but since we are looking to conceive again, I am clean 3 weeks! I have my bachelors in Medicinal and Biological Chemistry (go science!) and cloth diapers ROCK! Keep on blogging! God Bless!
Love your blog! I had the chance to scroll through it and I love Matt Maher and consider myself to be a Neo-trad (hence the name). My husband and I attend the FSSP parish in my hometown and love it. And the only reason I don’t wear a chapel veil right now is because my littlest one chews on it and tears it right off
And my twins are quite fond of The Imagination Movers as well!
Thank you for being a proud Catholic. I got you blog link from my sis-in-law (Kim, your BFF who asked you to blog about the a book on sexuality by a Religious Sister.) I look forward to reading more of your blogs.
