A new Missal Cover from Catholic Embroidery for one of the boys on the feast of his patron saint…
… a new madeleine pan and cookbook for moi… 
…and delicious madeleines “St. James Shell Cakes” for the whole family! 
(To be served with ice cream right after our dinner of shell shaped pasta
 with homemade sauce, dinner rolls, and garden salad.) 

Happy Feast of St. James!

    Oh, Madeleines are my favorite! One of those delights that I truly miss from my time in France. Are they hard to make?

    Yum! Would love to try that recipe! Unfortunately I dont do as much baking as I'd like since the weather is so hot here. I would love to know the recipe of your homemade sauce. Have you ever posted it on Catholic Cuisine?

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.
