When we are close to someone who currently experiencing loss, grief, or trauma, it can be hard to know what to do to help. Sometimes it feels like there is nothing we can do. This idea is similar in concept to a spiritual bouquet, but with a twist. If you're new to the concept of spiritual bouquets, you can read my post all about spiritual bouquets here. When I experienced miscarriage and … [Read more...]
For Lent, I'm really trying to get the message of pray, fast, & give alms to my kids. I'm working to include each aspect, and I wanted them to be doing some independent prayer.

So this Lent, my kids are using Michelle's Give Him 5 Program for all 40 … [Read more...]

However, no matter how many times a day we manage to pray with out kids, it's still important to teach them to pray independently. After all, we're not going to be there with them in the dorm room reminding them to say their bedtime prayers, are we? So I developed these prayer starters to help Lydia get … [Read more...]
Copywork has an important place in education. We have decided to copy all of the major prayers for Lydia's First Holy Communion journal, and here's why. Do you see that? That's a monk swimmin'. Doesn't ring any bells? Well, it's a line in the Hail Mary prayer. Remember? "...Blessed art thou, a monk swimmin', and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus." Oh, wait. That's right- it's … [Read more...]
On Easter Vigil this past weekend, my Daddy came into the Catholic Church! When I was 7 years old and received my First Holy Communion, I gave it up to my daddy and I prayed that someday he would become Catholic. I made this my tradition each week, offering up my Communion and saying a prayer for him. Ever week I continued this until I was 15, and I realized that I had been praying … [Read more...]
