Home But Not Alone

Tim and Sara both have college degrees. And now that we're both stay-at-home parents, some people may say we "wasted" our degrees, or are throwing away our education.

We disagree. So today, we're going to share with you the reasons (practical, and theoretical) why we aren't wasting our degrees.

We hope this episode is an encouragement to other stay-at-home parents who receive this criticism about their education history, and their choice to pursue stay at home parenting over pursuing a career.

Today on Home But Not Alone, we’ve got a fun show for you called: Catholic Stuff Around Our House.

Tim and I are going to take you on a little tour of our “Domestic Churches” - the homes that we live in! We’re going to go on a little scavenger hunt to discover what Catholic things are just hanging out around our houses, to give you a little glimpse of how we live out the faith in our family life.

The Covid-Quarantined life has given us SO MUCH time to sit around and think deep thoughts. And as we have heard the repeated lament of how difficult it is to be “cut off from the Sacraments” - that got us thinking! As married persons, being stuck at home all the time with our spouse and family, we may not have had the Eucharist or Reconciliation, but there was one Sacrament we could receive every day: the Sacrament of marriage.

So today we’re going to dive into what it means to live and receive the Sacrament of marriage daily!

Reflection Questions:

Here are the questions Tim recommends for diving into how the pandemic has presented challenges to marriage, and how you can overcome those challenges.
