I just love the miracle of the spinning sun and I find that youth find it very interesting for 2 reasons. First, a coloring spinning dancing sun in the sky is just a really fun idea and children love to imagine the wonder of this! Secondly, it was witnessed by around 70K people, and reported in real newspapers all over the world at the time that it happened! So that's pretty awesome! Today … [Read more...]

I started realizing that if I'm not cultivating my personal relationship with Jesus, what am I doing the rest of this stuff for? This is what it's all about! As I started feeling a strong calling to strengthen my prayer life, a friend of … [Read more...]

All the Easter crafts, snacks, games, books, etc. couldn't possibly all happen on actual Easter Sunday- it's too much! But that’s ok because the Church, in her infinite wisdom, granted an entire season of Easter that lasts for 50 days, all the way through Pentecost! The secular (cultural) world tends to celebrate Easter during Lent up until Easter Sunday, and then packs up all the … [Read more...]
I absolutely love this cross art project- it is so perfect for any age group from preschoolers through adults, and the results are easy for every age level to achieve!

I love taking the parts of holidays that already exist and throwing a Christ-centered spin on them so that everything from the day points back on the true meaning of the season. It's kind of my favorite thing about Catholic Icing, actually, and who … [Read more...]
