Celebrating Catholic Family and Faith with crafts, Catechesis and traditions!
Need some ideas to jump into the new year 2014?
1. Did you pick a Patron Saint for the New Year? I used the Saint Generator at Conversion Diary and received St Raymon Nonnatus…and I received St John Gualbert in the 2014 Patron Saint for the Year Devotion at A Catholic Life.
Getting organized for the new year?
Have you seen our NEW Communion of Saints Family Calendar!?
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!
Since we lost our all time hit count per post when we switched from Blogger to WordPress this year (install the Jetpack plugin if you’re switching to WordPress!), we have selected what we remember to be our 13 most popular blog posts of 2013.
The NEW Catholic Blog Planner 2014!
This 16 page FREE printable offers month-in-a-view blog planning with Catholic Feast Days, Monthly Devotions and space to record Top Referrers and Top Posts.
It prints in black and white, to be bound at the top or hole-punched for a binder or duotang.
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!
I know it’s last minute, but that’s how we tend to roll!
Are you looking to avoid the MALL for any last minute Christmas gifts?
Don’t know what meaningful gift to get for Grandma
…or looking for a family gift or hostess present for your favorite Catholic Family?
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.
