My Today 8

After receiving Tea and Cake With The Saints by Alice Cantrell all my girls can think about is throwing a tea party. Well today we did! It was a celebration in honor of St. Julie Billiart, one of the founding sisters of the Sisters of Notre Dame. It was her feast day today and she is also Julia's name saint.

This great book has also inspired Julia to start a Home keeping binder.

On the menu:

Raspberry Punch
Buttermilk Scones with Vanilla cream cheese
Stuffed Eggs
mini peanut butter and jelly sandwiches
mini tuna fish sandwiches
and of course tea!

After the tea portion of it the kids changed and then they planted flower seeds in tin pots that I had picked up real cheap. They had a great time.

I think the flower pots turned out so sweet. We also made little sticks with St. Julie on them to stick in our pots. And we topped them of with bows made from leftover fabric. The children had a blast.

"How good is the good God!" -St Julie Billiart

About Me

Hi, my name is Kirsten. I am married to my best friend and we have eight awesome children. We are Catholic, loving, living, and learning about our faith every day. It is who we are. We have had some big changes for our family recently. We've moved from a small family farm in Florida to a neighborhood in Kentucky. We also homeschool some of our children. I enjoy reading, gardening, and running, and I just learned how to knit. I try to enjoy, laundry and cleaning bathrooms and sweeping floors. But what I really love is to be home, with my husband and children, living this life. This blog is where I write about the good stuff (mostly). Thanks for stopping by.

Prayer to St. Joseph

PRAYER TO ST. JOSEPH THE WORKMAN Composed by Pope St. Pius X O glorious St. Joseph, model of all those who are devoted to labor, obtain for me the grace to work conscientiously, putting the call of duty above my natural inclinations, to work with gratitude and joy, in a spirit of penance for the remission of my sins, considering it an honor to employ and develop by means of labor the gifts received from God, to work with order, peace, moderation and patience, without ever shrinking from weariness and difficulties, to work above all with purity of intention and detachment from self, having always death before my eyes and the account that I must render of time lost, of talents wasted, of good omitted, of vain complacency in success, so fatal to the work of God. All for Jesus, all through Mary, all after thine example, O Patriarch, St. Joseph. Such shall be my watchword in life and in death. Amen.

A Considered Childhood by Elizabeth Foss

As much as I am able, every day, I will ensure that my child will: * Live the Liturgy * Experience loveliness * Breathe deeply: Fresh air and exercise * Serve others * Listen to, contemplate, and exchange ideas. * Develop expressive skills. * Practice logical reasoning. Math. * Receive focused attention and affection
