Go ahead... add some links and check out the other ideas. Because I re-opened last year's linky, I changed the settings so the newest … [Read more...]
Teaching my kids about the Saints in fun ways is one of my favorite things to do! Over the years, I have developed many activities for my children, so I have ideas that range from preschool kids to upper elementary. I hope you find many useful resources for teaching your kids about the Saints here! There is an alphabetical directory of all the Saints I have resources for at the bottom of this … [Read more...]
Ya, I'm pretty much obsessed with the idea of Liturgical Sundaes because they're so easy! This coming Sunday is Trinity Sunday (the Sunday following Pentecost), so without further adieu, I give you the Trinity Sundae: Neapolitan ice cream was a no-brainer: 3 flavors, one ice cream. The trinity: 3 persons, one God. I also set out shamrock doilies left from St. Patrick's Day because the … [Read more...]
On the First Friday of every month, I have a linky open where all of you can share your own Catholic Icing right here! Basically, you can share any Catholic blog post you want. ;-) Sometimes I have a suggested "theme" for the month, but you are always welcome to share something outside of that theme as well. ~Link-Up Rules~ Be sure to share a link back to Catholic Icing in your post so … [Read more...]
Even though this Catholic mom's day retreat was quite a trip for me, I'm really glad I got to go! I live in the DC area, and the conference was held in Boston, but I have an aunt that lives up there, and I was able to travel with my grandma! So fun road trip with Nana + weekend visit with Aunt Deede + Catholic Mother's Retreat = one fun and exciting weekend for me! :-) Here's a picture of Pat … [Read more...]

I often find religious stuff at the Dollar Tree, and was inspired to bring you guys a "Dollar Store Haul" post (fashioned after Heather's posts at Dollar Store Crafts). So here are some Catholic things you can currently be stocking up on at the Dollar Tree. (Products do vary some from store to store). For those of you who don't already shop at the Dollar Tree, everything is $1. So you should … [Read more...]

I've been seeing a lot of crafts that show the shamrock symbolizing The Trinity, and I love them! St. Patrick must have been very clever to think of explaining The Trinity this way! One God, three parts, brilliant! ;-) Here's the one I made: I started with a wooden shamrock from a craft store. It cost 50 cents. First, I painted it green. After it dried, I wrote "Father, Son, … [Read more...]
The story of the Good Shepherd is such a great Bible story to teach children! I always find that when I reach kids on their own level with fun, hands-on activities, it helps them learn the story and retain it longer. You can find all of my Bible crafts for kids here. Good Shepherd Sunday is the fourth Sunday of Easter, and this is absolutely a perfect time to learn all about the story of the Good … [Read more...]
