When I saw these rose cupcakes over on I Am Baker, I knew they were just the right thing for my Baby Shower of Roses! And they really aren't as tricky to make as you'd think! These would be great to make for St. Therese's feast day (Oct 1) or St. Rose of Lima's feast day, which is coming up on August 23! I made my roses out of candy melts, and it worked perfectly! Although I made twice … [Read more...]
Are you looking for a Catholic baby shower idea? Well, here's a baby shower I just threw for my sister-in-law! It was "Shower of Roses" themed, honoring St. Therese.

A baby shower was thrown in celebration of new life, and also in the theme of St. Therese! :-) The … [Read more...]
St. Therese said "After my death, I will let fall a shower of roses", and St. Therese is very well known for the roses she showers when you ask for her intercession through prayer! It turns out that my sister-in-law (whose name is Teresa) is due with their first child on October 1- St. Therese's feast day! I've always thought it would be a cute idea to throw a Catholic baby shower, or a … [Read more...]
The feast of St. Rose of Lima is coming up on August 23. She is the patroness of Latin America, the Philippines, needleworkers, and against vanity. She herself was very beautiful, and she would rub pepper on her face to ruin her own complexion. She is usually depicted with a rose crown on her head. Here are some ways you and the kids can remember her on her feast day! St. Rose of Lima is … [Read more...]
The Solemnity of the Assumption of Mary is on August 15. FYI- Jesus Ascended into heaven. Mary was Assumed into heaven. Hence the "Ascension of Jesus" and the "Assumption of Mary". Guess Jesus could do it on his own, and Mary was abducted alien style. Ok, only kidding about the 'alien abduction' part. :-) You can find more August feast days to celebrate with kids here. Here are some ways … [Read more...]
The Feast of the Assumption of Mary is coming up on August 15. This is a Holy Day of Obligation, meaning you need to attend mass on this day if you're able. You can find all of my resources for celebrating the feast of the Assumption Of Mary here. I found this awesome idea from Nicole on 4 Real Forums to make an Assumption Triptych with the Immaculate Conception on the left, the … [Read more...]
St. Clare's feast day is coming up on August 11. She had such a devotion to the blessed sacrament that her symbol is the monstrance, so I've included monstrance crafts and snacks as well. Of course, a monstrance craft would also be great for Corpus Christi, or a generic Catholic craft for any time! :-) I love this little St. Clare doll made by Joyfilled Family! No advanced skills necessary, and … [Read more...]
By the end of the year, I will be an Aunt 3 more times! Yay! I wanted to make some Catholic baby gifts for the Mommies-to-Be, so I made these Catholic Novelty shirts: You can get plain white onesies in packs of 5 at Wal-Mart. I actually found these 2 at the Salvation Army. What you'll Need: Onesies Pencil Fabric Paint (assorted colors) Once you … [Read more...]

You guessed it- The Immaculate Heart of Mary! :-) If you've already made your shirts, I have an update. If you haven't, then you have another chance to do it! Good news! I now have a full at-home VBS program … [Read more...]
