Catholic Icing: Catholic Saint Craft for Kids
http://catholicicing.blogspot.com/2011/03/catholic-saint-craft-for-kids.html
Catholic Saint Craft for Kids. Thursday, March 10, 2011. Letter of the week:. Saint of the Week:. This craft is soooo easy to do! Just fold some paper in half, cut out a heart, glue it down, and trace around it with a marker. Then write " S. Aints, Our Heavenly Family". Have the kids cut out and glue down pictures of the saints in the heart. You can use holy cards, print pictures from the internet, or cut up some of your Catholic catalogs you have lying around. We used our Autom Catalog. Thanks for the g...

Gnomes – Catholic Family Vignettes
https://catholicfamilyvignettes.wordpress.com/gnomes
A collage of literary snapshots from the life of a large traditional Catholic family. It is truly amazing how a limited budget can boost one’s creativity! This Sunday is Charlotte’s birthday. For the past couple of days I’ve been working on creating a family of gnomes. Utilizing the leftover wooden dolls from our Alphabet of Catholic Saints. If only they had a suitable abode…. The gourd was exactly what I’d been looking for. I had remembered seeing a very cleverly rendered dollhouse. A side view. The...

Karen's Adventures in Mommyland: May 2015
http://kareninmommyland.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Karen's Adventures in Mommyland. Monday, May 18, 2015. It's been such a long time since I've been able to just sit down and write. I really miss it, but it seems in any given day a small plethora of things just wind up taking precedence over me being able to blog. On a ride home from Target. With my older children the whys got on my nerves after so many iterations of it, but with Katie, I'm rejoicing that she's asking me a question with an actual word. It's interesting how perspective can change.

Karen's Adventures in Mommyland: Book Review: The Joyful Spirit of Padre Pio
http://kareninmommyland.blogspot.com/2015/03/book-review-joyful-spirit-of-padre-pio.html
Karen's Adventures in Mommyland. Monday, March 9, 2015. Book Review: The Joyful Spirit of Padre Pio. Over the years I've read several books about St. Padre Pio, and while I like him a lot, he's yet to become on of those saints I could say I feel connected to, at least, not in the way I feel connected to some of my favorite saints. I have, however, found him to be more approachable since reading Patricia Treece's The Joyful Spirit of Padre Pio. The book is a collection of stories, letters and prayers.

Karen's Adventures in Mommyland. Thursday, October 23, 2014. Pretty, Happy, Funny, Real} My Little Man. Capturing the context of contentment in everyday life. Can you believe how big my handsome little Man Man is? He'll be six month's old on All Saints' Day. His expressive eyebrows remind us of Muppet characters. Bryan snapped this picture of Anthony tonight. I love his expression. This little guy has to be our most expressive baby ever. Oh and did you notice that he's sitting all by himself? Costume....

Karen's Adventures in Mommyland. Friday, September 12, 2014. We Have a Teenager! One can only imagine what the upcoming year will have in store for us. I know she'll be confirmed sometime in the spring and she'll also graduate from 8th grade. Before her next birthday she will officially begin high school. I'm sure there will be plenty more Madeline quotes along the way and many more stories to be told. It's always an adventure! So happy birthday Madeline! I hope your first year as a teenager is a fun one!

Karen's Adventures in Mommyland: Book Review: Saint of the Day
http://kareninmommyland.blogspot.com/2015/03/book-review-saint-of-day.html
Karen's Adventures in Mommyland. Monday, March 2, 2015. Book Review: Saint of the Day. Reading about the saints is something that I enjoy immensely. I draw a lot of inspiration from reading about how they pursued the path of holiness and obtained heaven, so a book filled with short accounts of the saints is always nice to have laying around where you can pick it up and spend a few minutes here and there reading about them. The updated and expanded Saint of the Day. We have several different saint of the ...

http://kareninmommyland.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Karen's Adventures in Mommyland. Monday, March 16, 2015. Book Review: Saint Ignatius Loyola The Spiritual Writings. Have you ever started to read something and almost instantly felt overwhelmed? That's pretty much how I've felt when reading the writings of Saint Ignatius Loyola. Reading just little chunks of his writings leaves me with that feeling of spiritual indigestion I had only felt previously when reading too much by St. Augustine in a short period of time. My take aways from this book are simply ...

Exploring the Treasure of our Catholic Faith. Sunday, February 27, 2011. I'm convinced that he's quite the character. This week's homework is to pray the Our Father and Hail Mary every day. Each week at circle time it's evident that some of the children are working very hard at learning these prayers. The class has made great progress. I hope you all have a wonderful week. I'll see you next Sunday! Third Grade-February 17th and 24th classes. Our rosary mystery for the week was the fourth sorrowful myster...
