This is required by the Catholic church if you're health and 18 years or older, but I also encourage my … [Read more...]
Ok, as promised when I debuted the Printable Passion set for peg dolls, here is the Resurrection set counterpart! (And I now have a post about painting these little guys in 3 different styles- check it out here.) Nativity sets are so popular at Christmas time (and for good reason), so I can't figure out why the whole Resurrection Set thing at Easter hasn't totally caught on yet. I think … [Read more...]
Easter is the most important feast day for Christians, and the cornerstone of our faith. But did you know that Easter is not just a day, but an entire season of the church year? It't true! Easter lasts for 50 days- all the way through Pentecost, with 8 full Sundays of Easter!

I have wanted a set of Catholic peg Saints pretty much since I first saw them somewhere around 5 years ago.

But now, I invented a secret option number 3 for you guys... Printable Saint peg … [Read more...]
For Violet's pre-k year, I wanted to include some one on one "cooking" time with me as our Charlotte Mason life skill/ handicraft for her. We're incorporating this into my Catholic ABC's curriculum by making alphabet snacks for the letter of the week! It was important to me that Violet could be very involved in the preparation of each snack. Therefore, the importance here was placed more … [Read more...]

There are several fun ways to get kids involved in novenas, and help your family remember to do them each day. One thing you can do is make a novena counter. You'll find an example of a Divine Mercy Novena counter (and how to build it) here. The basic idea is that something moves each day until you reach the "end" of your novena. Another thing you can do is add something each day of a novena. … [Read more...]
