Our little Twinkle Toes turned 8 years old yesterday and so it was ParTEA time! Since our children generally just have one big "friends" birthday party (the rest are just with family), this was the one for Twinkle Toes. Originally we were going to do it...
I am making myself take a break from housework, packing, and planning to sit down for a few minutes, so I thought I would share another recipe from the birthday party yesterday. I found this idea through a google search, and I think it might have originated (at...

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.

Let us all be dedicated to your service on earth and attain the eternal happiness of your kingdom in heaven. Amen.
