I’ll admit it. I tend to have an “all or nothing” personality. So when Advent started on Sunday and I hadn’t gotten my rear in gear, I figured, “Ah well, there’s always next year!!!” Well a well-timed email from a blessed friend and mentor encouraged me to jump into Advent. She, of course, didn’t know [...]

We arrived at Julie’s house and saw eight little heads peeking out of the various locations to survey their new house guests. This trip was [...] Today is the Blessed Mother’s Birthday. Well last night for Lily’s birthday, her grandparents took us all out to dinner. While walking into the bathroom, Lily lovingly looked at me and said, “You’re the best mom in the world for me.” Then she seemed to be thinking for a moment and added, “I guess [...] Recently when I posted about my liturgical calendar, I referenced a post by Katherine of A Living Education.

I see this taking several forms: 1_ Using both the picture books from Catholic Mosaic and activities from A Year with God: Celebrating the Liturgical Year, [...] I can not adequately express the excitement my children and I felt as we drove in the pouring rain yesterday to meet Alice of Cottage Blessings and her family. We were not disappointed!!! Alice and her children put on a wonderfully meaningful Guadalupe Tea which helped us to visualize through food the events of Juan [...] |
