I think that the St Benedict medal is my favorite holy medal. I have many versions of it, including a beautiful gold crucifix, with the medal embedded in it. It’s a powerful sacramental and I’ve carried it with me or worn it during some monumental and stressful moments!

DIY I Spy: with a Scanner!
My brother took my kids with their favorite treasures and toys to a print shop (years ago!) and made this photo-collage with a photocopy machine. They made 11″x17″ photo-collages and they are so cool to look at…capturing the interests of the kids at the time.
Fabulous Finds at Catholic Conferences: Links of Lightbulbs {13}
Just attended the NCEA…the National Catholic Education Association conference in Boston!
As always, I discovered some great products and awesome Catholic initiatives and wanted to add them to my list of Fabulous Finds at Catholic Conferences.
Catholic I Spy: Holy Coins!
Our kids have been collecting various ‘holy treasures’, especially on our Catholic Bookstore tours. We have been known to pack up the kids for a driving trip, solely planned around Catholic Bookstores we want to visit. This may sound odd, but when we discerned that we would self-publish the book A Treasure Chest of Traditions for Catholic Families, we were just very eager to get the word out and meeting Catholic Bookstore owners was a lot more fun than cold calling by phone.
Get your Armor of God on: be a Dragon Slayer!
This unique bookDragon Slayers is now available through the

Peek-through-the-Helmet
LOOK INSIDE Dragon Slayers!
This is a well-written, witty and imaginative book, the “How To Slay a Dragon” guide for faithful Christian soldiers, as they courageously put on the Armor of God (hey, that’s our company name… Arma Dei!) and prepare for the battle of their lives.
