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.

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.

Oh my gosh what a sweetheart! Can I ask where you got the walker and the cupcakes? We have a birthday in January and with 7 girls how could you go wrong:)
Blessings,
Pamela
I feel like I say this all the time, but why oh why do we live so far apart?! I could eat that baby girl up, she's so sweet.
What kind of finish did you put on the dolls? I'm hoping to do a few in the next couple of days.
Great pics of a very fun day! Happy Birthday little Rose!
I am laughing at that group pic of all the kids on the couch – and Snuggles looking a little mad over on the side!
Pamela ~ I rarely go to Toys-R-Us, but I stopped in since I had a coupon after Rose's echocardiogram and found them there and thought they would be perfect for her! I had seen the walker in the newspaper ad, listed at $59.99 and originally hadn't considered it, but it was/is on sale for only $29.99 and then I had a 15% off coupon and a $10.00 off my entire purchase! I purchased the cupcakes their as well. They are both made by FAO Schwarz, a new line of toys that Toys-R-Us is carrying. I also purchased the Sweets with Treat Tray as a Christmas Gift.
Aimee ~ I wish you lived nearby too! In regards to the sealer, I ended up using a few coats of a Clear Polyurethane spray on sealer for these two dolls. So far it seems to be holding up well to the "not so gentle" play!
Angela ~ I was laughing at that too! I was using my zoom lens from the new dining area, and didn't notice how upset he looked until I uploaded the photo! He had been sleeping, and was rather cranky when he woke up!
I was sooo happy to see Roses heart update. Our youngest had a "need to close" thing as well. I email you this often….but your site is such a blessing to so many families!!! The Saint Dolls look a lot larger than your other ones…I've just started working with the pegs….where did you find the bigger ones? Have a Blessed Christmas….I'm off to get some things for my own Jesse Tea….better late than never right?!?!?!!
Happy Birthday to your little Rose doll. She is a dolly.
So very very cute!

Sorry LOL!! Thanks Jessica:)
Pamela ~ There is also a KidKraft Version of the Cupcake Stand available at Amazon.
Thanks Jessica I Love it! I always go to Amazon first since we are so far from major shopping. Toys-R-Us is over a 1hr away.
She is just getting so big and even more and more precious. Sigh.
Happy birthday and many blessings to your sweet baby!!!
Our computer got a virus and is still not fixed, they will fix it this week. I keep asking if my pictures are safe, and they are, thank goodness!
Anyway, that is why I missed this!!! I am on my hubby's laptop….I'm checking in on people today!
Merry Christmas and many blessings!
