Sunday School Post #7

Sunday is here and it's time for another Sunday School post! This is the 7th one in this series and you can find the rest HERE. Prayers are so very important and to make sure that my kids know what they are saying and why they are saying it is also important. I like to make up different coloring pages and worksheets, so that they can learn as they have fun. This simple Our Father coloring page is a started page that I like to use when just starting out. Get your own HERE.
My Little Flowers group met this past week and we decorated our folders. As we are waiting on the guides and sashes to arrive, we decided to study St. Therese as I shared in last week's post HERE.
We used a celery base and paint to make roses on paper and our folders and they came out so pretty! We also made a St. Therese page using print outs from google images and the St, Therese prayer art that I made. It worked out so well and the girls all had so much fun doing it.
Here is a close-up of our St. Therese page, the calendar is a good deeds calendar, where they color each box per day that they do a good deed on. The hearts are labeled monday - friday and have good deed ideas on them.
The Love Dare for Parents is still going strong for us, as well as the Love Dare for couples. It has been a truly enlightening experience and I highly encourage you all to get the books and try it yourself! Lent is the perfect time as there are 40 days and 40 dares!
I am so glad that our Diocese is doing a full day of confessions, is your Diocese doing it? No more excuses that you can't make it!
A fun craft coming up that also encourages your children to pray more! You will need a plain wood cross that is thicker than normal along with some paints and a cup hook. Begin painting your cross in any way you wish.
Once you have painted your cross, screw the cup hook into the bottom of the cross. Mine is not painted yet, as we are waiting to do them all together. Once your screw is in, you are all set!
You have just made a rosary holder! It is now perfectly ready to be hung on the wall and keep your precious rosary safe. We plan on hanging each one next to their bed, so that they always know where their rosary is.
The Communion of Saints Coloring Book is perfect for learning about Saints! I like to give them each the coloring page, while I read a story about that saint, it helps them famliarize themselves with the saints.
Enjoy every minute my friends!

Signs of Spring!

Spring is here and the signs of it are everywhere!
Colorful totes are ready to be carried to the library!
Snacks are being served outdoors!
Lilacs are in bloom!
Weather is too warm for the stove or oven! Time for Crock Pot meals!
Evenings are spent on the screen porch just talking about the day.
What are your signs of Spring? Share them in the comments below please!

Back in the Garden!

 We are back in the garden, this time the container garden! I found a fantastic deal on plants at Lowes while we were out and had to pick up some plants! There were not many left, but we made do! I found  tomato, basil, lavender, pepper and strawberry plants all for 1.50 each! Then as we were walking to the register, I found the flat of assorted flowers for 1.79, so I grabbed one of those too! The kids and I had a blast putting in the soil and then watering, they have become pros by now and barely needed my help at all!
My youngest had a blast scooping the dirt, he designated that 'his' job! The oldest liked watering the plants and my oldest boy, loved squeezing the plants out of the flats they came in! Everyone seems to have found their 'place' in the garden!
The other sweet treat we found was hummingbird nectar! We are so excited to make a hummingbird feeder this Summer! I love the hardware store, it's always a treasure box of items that BEG to be used in ways other than their intended purpose!!

What are you up to on this fine Saturday?

I GOT IT I GOT IT!

Found the right Electra in my size! I was totally thrilled to find it in my all time favorite color that I just couldn't leave the store without it!
This is the most amazing bike I have ever been on and I have plans for baskets, racks, streamers and other goodies! Can't wait! My husband even hopped on for a quick ride around the block and agreed that the ride just can't be beat!

Mothers Day Shopping!

Have you been thinking about Mother lately??? I have this awesome vintage button bracelet that is absolutely stunning in person! I truly am in love with this piece! This is a combination of Vintage and New buttons with touches of elegance at the end. I added vintage and new charms dangling on the underside. It has a look of Parisian Elegance. With a dash a swarovski crystals at the top it is absolutely perfect for mom!

Does mom have a collection of Vintage Buttons that just sit in a box? I've developed a line called the Heirloom collection. I've had customers send in their personal collection of buttons and let me know what they are looking for and i've created earrings and bracelets for them! It's a fabulous way to carry around a memory and not just have it sitting on a shelf somewhere!
