Stargazing and Spanish Cocoa on Columbus Day…

by | Oct 13, 2010 | Columbus Day | 2 comments

… since, according to our children, it is our family tradition!

Apparently the story of Columbus is so much funnier when Daddy ends it with the following: (Indians to the Queen & King) “We bring you Tacos, Chalupas, Chimichangas, and Guacamole!” (Queen) “What are Chimichangas?” (King) “I don’t know. Just smile and they will go away!”

Hope you all had a wonderful Columbus Day!

    Beautiful! Your family always makes me smile.

    My kids enjoy "daddy" story readings too. 🙂

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.
