As promised, the First Friday linky has been moved from Good Friday to today! :-) We had a spectacular Easter Sunday, and I am so glad that the Easter season has only just begun!

This post has full directions and a … [Read more...]
Sometimes when I am looking for fun religious snacks for my kids, I can't always find what I'm looking for. While in search for some fun Christ-centered Easter basket stuffers this year, I really wanted to include some fun and colorful crosses. We decided to try our hand at some diy cross pops, and they came out looking like beautiful stained glass! Turns out you can totally make your own candy … [Read more...]

They've been working on revamping Catholic Digest Magazine, and Danielle Bean wrote me to ask if I was interested in writing an article about celebrating St. Patrick's day.

Look- they even mentioned my article on the … [Read more...]

St. Basil's feast day is on January 2, but it has become a Catholic tradition to make a "St. Basil's Cake" on New Year's to celebrate one of his miracles! St. Basil was a Bishop, and a friend of the poor. He wanted to help the poor people pay their taxes, so he went around town collecting jewelry from each person. He took it all to the governor, but the governor took pity on the people and told … [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...]

In keeping with our "Focus on the Lamb, not the Bunny" Easter theme, I wanted to make some actual edible lamb treats of some kind for Easter. The food industry would like to pull the wool over our eyes and lead us to believe that we can't make a lamb cake without store-bought mold, but we know there are greener pastures, right?
