Family Traditions
This post about a Love Letters Tradition seems strangely familiar! I have been writing these letters for years for each of my 5 kids…and a couple extra Godchildren as well. They have not yet seen these letters, describing them …sometimes from before they were born and then at least once a year (when I remember!). I write about the crazy stuff they do, their favourite toy, the funny things they say…and that I love them.
I suspect that they will be surprised (unless they read this blog=) when they receive their collection of mail.
First Holy Communion Scrapbooking!
This is our Journey with Jesus through Reconciliation and Holy Communion Craft Kit.
It includes 18 already researched, illustrated and formatted templates of prompting catechism and reflection questions. As all our Cathletics Craft Kits, it comes with permission to photocopy for a whole class for one term or for all the kids in your family (who live with you) as they celebrate their First Sacraments!
Monthly Devotions: February is the month of the HOLY FAMILY
Just when we put our nativities away, we have an excuse to reflect again on the Holy Family as a model for our own family life. We remember life with a small baby, a toddler, a child, a tween, a teen and a young adult.
SNOW DAY! Castle and catapult craft for everyone home in their castles!
OK, so it’s a bit of a stretch to tie this in with our Armor of God…
I just really want to include it because it’s very cool and very fun.
Check out how we revisited this craft for another Medieval Birthday Party this year with 10 year old boys.
Guess Who ?

Perpetual Calendar
This is a new version of a custom calendar we made for our extended family a few years ago. You can create one like this too, with your own collage of family pictures. Once you format one and record your key family dates, you can get copies made for a treasured gift for your whole extended family!
Kids QuoteBook
Kids say and do the funniest things. We think we’re going to remember who said what when, but as the kids get older, it’s amazing how their antics can blend together! Writing down the funny things they say and do at the time is the best! The fridge calendar can be just that handy place to record all the little gems that you’ll be glad you captured. Every once in a while…I have transposed those little dated moments in cute little dollar store books: one for each child. I have recorded first words, dates the teeth came in or out and monumental “firsts”. I know which kid said “to da-vity and beyon’!” (quoting Buzz Lightyear), who challenged potty training “mommy, your job is not my problem!” , who sang “ring around the rosary” and who was my only kid to fall asleep on the toilet…so far.
