Meet Alex
Raised a cradle Catholic, oldest of 8 children, I met my husband on CatholicMatch a decade ago, as a senior in college. We fell in love at first chat and married 11 months later. Our opposite ENFJ-sanguine-choleric/INFJ-melancholic-phlegmatic natures are a wild and imperfectly perfect balance ;) Nick owns a production company, Visual Rose Films, creating cinematic weddings & more! We live in our Pennsylvania-modern-dream home where I homeschool our 4 boys, Nicholas 8, Dominic 6, & Anthony 3 & Andrew almost 1! Through this past decade, I’ve pursued many paths as I struggled to balance my career ambitions as a modern Catholic woman. For now, God has called me primarily in the home, where I use the Internet as a means of modern connection & evangelization! I’m passionate about cultivating the joy of the gospel & encouraging women to do the same, right where they are, through my resources, workbooks, & joyful tips for mind, body & soul.
