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.

It came out great! And I like the position of the kitchen. Her bumper is so pretty, no wonder she wanted to sleep with it 🙂
Awww! She is SO cute! Great job with the bed!
Love the bed in white! I would love to paint ours! How did you paint it? Did you sand it first or just go straight to painting? What type of paint?? I'd love any tips you have!
Kelly ~ Isn't the bumper pretty! I am really going to miss it, when I get the crib ready for the new baby… I'm not sure that it is "boyish" enough! 😉
Jen ~ I didn't sand it down, but I did use a spray a can full of white primer first. I then just used 2 1/2 cans of semi-gloss white spray paint – applying one can at a time and then letting it dry. That was it. I have been thinking how cute it would be to paint or stencil on some flowers to the headboard. We'll see! 🙂
Aww she has her doll! That makes me so happy! And the bed looks great!! Wanna come over and help me with some stuff?? lol
Oh, Jessica, it turned out great!! She looks like such a big girl in that bed!! She's a doll.
I'm not even thinking about nesting yet….I'll wait til Decmeber!!
I just got my appointments though in the mail, and the countdown starts Sept 29 and goes down close to 30 appointments by Jan 5th.
I might have to think of something to nest in the next 2 weeks,huh?
We also have no place for baby's clothes, so baby will have to live out of bins for a while. At least til we figure out how to do all that.
I have Bridget's clothes in the dresser we use for our changing table, because it's so convenient to have the clothes there. So, since both will be in diapers….bins will have to do!!
