Our friends came from Ottawa and I think we got all 10 kids out on the rink!

Perpetual CELEBRATION with the Communion of Saints!

Getting organized for the new year?

Have you seen our NEW Communion of Saints Family Calendar!?

 Here’s January!

It’s a Perpetual Calendar…so it can be used YEAR after YEAR!

If you mark your special family dates ONCE (birthdays, Sacrament anniversaries, milestones), you can make copies of the calendar for Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, and cousins. We have…and now the WHOLE family has a record of ALL the same family dates, to which they can add their own!

7 Quick Takes: Cool Stuff for Catholics’2013

So I’m running with scissors a little bit for this edition of 7 Quick Takes during these Christmas holidays! We’re enjoying some awesome family time with our ice rink in our Winter Wonderland of a backyard, after the ice storm a couple days ago! The luge run is under construction…and some of the big fallen tree limbs will be taken away by the town…soon.  It’s sad to see some of the fallen trees around town, but the ice and snow covered branches sure are pretty!

This is the LAST week of Advent via the Jesse Tree Ornaments, from the Jesse Tree Ornament Swap organized by Michelle at Liturgical Time.

With December 1st being a Sunday this year, this is the shortest season of Advent possible. We actually have a couple extra ornaments to accommodate other years, when Advent includes more days! For no purposes other than to show them off, here are the remaining 7 ornaments!

7 Quicker Takes Friday

I managed to miss Small Success Thursday and I’m skipping to 7 Quicker Takes, and posting late.

I finally finished my 3 Kings last weekend…but haven’t had the time to launch them on their journey around the house. I think I may need to go old school and begin on Christmas Day, no longer trying to convert the Elf on the Shelf into Elves on the Shelves…or at least resort to differently timing.

3 Kings off to a late (or early?) start

 If you have been watching my blog, you may have noticed that I don’t tend to do things the easy way.  If there is something I can makefor our own family set, I do.  I spend a lot of time making Catholic Printables, but sometimes I just need to make stuff, with felt, scissors and glue. I’m not an expert sewer (wow, did I just call myself an artificial, usually underground conduit for carrying off sewage or rainwater ?) but I have decided that the little flaws in my sewing projects are what make them so unique.
