This is a great way to get kids involved with lent! Craft a crown of thorns, and then every time your child does a good deed or makes a sacrifice, he or she gets to remove one of the "thorns". Hopefully, you have all of the thorns removed by Easter. On Easter morning, the crown of thorns is converted into something beautiful! (You can either fill it with flowers, or turn it into a nest full … [Read more...]
We are still preparing for Lydia's First Reconciliation at home, but Reconciliation is a Sacrament that we and our children should be receiving often.

Here's a round up of printable blessings to use during Advent and Christmas time. (I really did my best to round-up printable versions, because I think gathering around a computer doesn't have the same quaint feel to it. When you print these, be sure to add them to your Advent/Christmas planning binder so you don't ever have to look them up or print them again. None of these blessings were created … [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.

The Catechism says... "The role of the parents in … [Read more...]
