Prayer of Mothers
Father in heaven, grant me the grace to appreciate the dignity which you have conferred on me. Let me realize that not even the Angels have been blessed with such a privilege—to share in your creative miracle and bring new Saints to heaven. Make me a good mother to all my children after the example of Mary, the Mother of your Son. Through the intercession of Jesus and Mary I ask your continued blessings on my family. Let us all be dedicated to your service on earth and attain the eternal happiness of your kingdom in heaven. Amen.
Our Family
A Little About Me
Hi! I'm Jessica, a Roman Catholic wife and home educating mother to our nine children. I was home educated myself, along with my eleven younger siblings. I have a special devotion to St. Therese, through whom I have been given much help and many blessings--the beautiful "Shower of Roses" that she has sent my way! Here I will record a few of the blessings I treasure. Please remember that what you see here is just a little glimpse at our lives, so please say a prayer for us, as we continue to strive for holiness.
That is why I am stopping at the store first!!
Seriously, I am so sorry!! I almost did the same thing earlier at Christmas. I bought one can of evaporated and one of condensed sweet. I didn’t realize until I got home!! Luckily I found one lone can of evaporated in the back of a cabinet!
aw, how sad. we wont be at this yrs party!! tell eveyone hi for us and that we miss them all and that we are sitting lonely at home tonight!

Oh No!!
Just curious, but how did it turn out? Did it set after all? If not, I prescribe a gallon of french vanilla ice cream and just stir a scoopful of that stuff in and enjoy! 🙂
Best,
Sarah
Regina ~ YOU WERE MISSED!!!! It really stinks that you all live so far away now.. 🙁
Sarah ~ It still tasted just as good, though you did need a spoon to get it off the platter. It was more like frosting than fudge. 🙂 Amazingly though, that didn’t prevent it from getting eaten!
This is such a funny story. Every year for almost 40 years my mom has made “Goof Proof Fudge.” The first year I was married I tried to make it and I called her and said “Mom, I am the goof that goofed it up!” because it never turned to fudge. We used it for icing and it was the ultimate Dieter’s Downfall–it was just decadent—but it wasn’t fudge. I have never tried since, but my mom always shares hers. 🙂
Kristyn ~ That is so funny! All of our fudge got eaten anyways, otherwise I was thinking it would have been super good spread on top of brownies! Next time I will be paying more attention to my cans of milk!
I’m glad your mom shares with you! Fudge is one of my favorite desserts, but your right, a total Dieter’s downfall. I have to get serious about losing weight after all the Christmas treats!!
