Short and sweet post.

On day four of our trip we went to visit my cousin and her family in the morning and then we went to the National Zoo. The highlight of our trip to the zoo was seeing the Panda Bears. The Panda is Julia's favorite animal. We have never seen a live Panda, so we were thrilled that we had this opportunity.  They were in their inside habitats on the day we visited. (Why the Panda picture is not that great) It was sooooo hot that day. Looking back on my pictures I realize I did not take a lot. I think because of the heat. We were bummed that it was so hot because I think we would have enjoyed our visit more.

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.

Math. * Receive focused attention and affection
