This afternoon, while I was in the middle of baking a cake for Rose’s birthday tomorrow, I noticed that it was the 100th Anniversary of the first person to reach the South Pole. I happened to have some extra cake batter, along with a fun North Pole Cupcake idea I had been wanting to try, so I decided to surprise the kids with an afternoon snack and extra history lesson when they got home from piano! I was wishing that I had the Race to the South Pole Coloring Book, but instead we did a little research on The Frozen Continent of the South Pole and added the date of discovery to our timelines along with some illustrations inspired by some google images of the discovery and/or Draw Write Now, Book 4: The Polar Regions, Arctic, Antarctic.

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.
