Sunday, May 1st: Beautiful Mass after an early morning road trip through the redwoods!

Our Lady, Star of the Sea, Ora Pro Nobis!

Our family-sized room with a view… So nice to be back! The boys had an out-of-town golf tournament last week so we decided to head over a day early and turn it into a mini-vacation!

{funny}
The next morning we checked out of the hotel and our whole family headed to the golf course to watch our high schoolers’ last tournament before Regionals the following Thursday and Friday. It was a gorgeous day and the weather was perfect! Thankfully there were complimentary golf carts available for the families and coaches.

Mass, walks on the beach, playing in the sand, whale watching, reading while the kids swam in the heated pool, family time in our hotel room, watching the sunset over the ocean… It was such a beautiful and refreshing day! – (May 1, Instagram

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.
