For a fun and easy Valentine's day snack, you should try serving your kids some pink, strawberry milk! You can make this treat extra special by taking just a minute to rim your glass with sugar. :-) Rimming the glass with sugar is very easy to do. Take the same strawberry syrup you use to make your milk (we used the same stuff we did for our "Pentecost Sundaes") and pour a little on a … [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...]
We've still been focusing on the Stations of the Resurrection (14 things that happened from the resurrection to Pentecost). Station number 10 is: Jesus Appears by the Sea of Tiberias (John 21:1-14). Are you familiar with this story? In Jesus' 3rd appearance after His death, some of the apostles have been fishing, but they can't catch any fish. Jesus tells them to toss their nets to the other … [Read more...]

Every station is something that happened between Easter and Pentecost, while the risen Jesus was walking around alive on the earth. Here is a list of the stations of light. For some of them, … [Read more...]

You can find all … [Read more...]

As most of you know, I have a 3 week old baby who was baptized yesterday! I thought I would share this video we made of my other daughter's baptism. (She is now 4). My mom and I used to make wedding videos together, so sometimes we get a little carried away with our home movies. :-) If you like the "Tiny Hands, Precious Feet" song that we used, you can order the album from Catholic Child. … [Read more...]
