5 Things To Do On A Rainy Day

Hey guys!! 

Lia here. Where I am in Ohio, its been raining for 50 years.... What does the sun even look like?

(basically me right now)





1. Put on music and jump on your bed.

Yeah, I know. Its a very mature and adulty thing to do. I never said this was good advice :D But seriously, sometimes you just need to dance it out.



2. Journal.

Whether it be bullet journaling or just writing your thoughts out. It very therapeutic to do when its raining.



3. Re-read your favorite book with tea or coffee or hot beverage of your choice.

I personally recommend Gallagher Girls by Ally Carter (oh my gosh, are you shocked?) 





4. Watch a rom-com.

A really really cheesy one too. Letters to Juliet is my favorite :D



5. Organize your bookshelf.

AKA my favorite thing to do.






Alright that was my list! Talk to me in the comments! What are your favorite rainy day activities?

Welcome February!

Its been one month since Lia decided we should bring Catholic Girl Stuff back to life. We've refreshed a lot of the blog, the new look for example. (It was mostly Lia, but I helped pick out the pictures)



MONTHLY PRAYER LIFE DEVOTIONS AND FOCUS POINTS

Suggestions:

• For married couples
• Soon to be married couples
• Your future spouse
• Or your current spouse
• Guidance in deciding if you even want a spouse 

I personally know where I fall in the last one (firmly in the "Probably a no thanks") so instead  I'm praying for help with my horrible stressful college life.

I recently started praying a novena to Our Lady Undoer of Knots and asking her for help untangling the mess that is my life. I have to say that the morning after I started, I woke up happy and had a great day of classes. Which was surprising since it was a Thursday and normally I HATE my Tuesday/Thursday classes. Oh and then a caught up on all my homework.

10/10 would recommend.

(Link to novena can be found here.)

FEBRUARY MINI PLAYLIST

Yes, I know this is normally Lia's thing. But my poor song taste will have to do. I feel like none of these songs really go together, but I picked songs that'll hopefully pick you up out of the winter slump!

-Main Theme from the Pirates of the Caribbean
-Lonely People by Orla Gartland
-This Is Me from the Greatest Showman
-Roundtable Rival by Lindsey Stirling
-The Other Side from the Greatest Showman
-Touch the Sky from Brave





Have a prayerful and beautiful February!

Goodbye January!

Hey guys!

Lia here!




January was kind of a hard month... I kept forgetting we had revived this, so I didn't remember to write anything. But I promise for the rest of the year to keep on my game!  I wrote many reminders on sticky notes all over my room :D

Kat went back to college and abandoned me again... I worked a lot this month. Adulting is boring, I can tell you that.
