SaintCards on the Feast of St. George

“Look, Mom! I found St. George!” 

Happy Feast of St. George! Did you do anything special to celebrate?

On top of schoolwork, our day was packed full with dentist appointments, orthodontist appointments, catching up at the office, and then golf and soccer practice, so we didn’t get around to making a Dragon Veggie Platter, Dragon Cake, or Sugar Cookie Story Quilt

However, we received a prototype review packet of SaintCards in the mail today and have been playing ALL evening. The kids keep asking to play “just one more game!”

SaintCards is a game, and educational tool, that makes learning facts about the lives of the Saints fun!

   

According to our 17 year old son, “It’s kind of like UNO, but faith based and SO MUCH BETTER!”

I love that there is so much information packed into each card – each of the 11 different colors symbolizes something about the saint, the 12 different symbols represent the various months of the liturgical year in which the saints feast days fall, they all list the centuries in which the saints lived and each saints patronage as well – and with all the beautiful images and symbols the little ones can play along too, with just a little help reading the names of each saint!

SaintCards isn’t available to purchase just yet, but you CAN back the project over at Kickstarter! Even if you can’t back the project at this time, please consider sharing the link so they can hopefully reach their funding goals by the May 13th deadline. I’d love to see this available to give as gifts!

Well, I’m off to tuck in the little ones and read them a bedtime story before they fall asleep…

St. George, ora pro nobis!

    Aren’t they fantastic?? So glad you reviewed and share them! Also, just a littler clarification, their Kickstarter is a pre-order campaign so when you back it at a certain level, you’ll also receive what is listed for the level you choose if they reach their funding goal. But if they don’t, SaintCards won’t be available at all. So everyone…please share!

    Can you tell me how sturdy the Ostheimer wooden figures are for playing?

    They are hand carved in Germany by Ostheimer. Pictured in this post is the Black Knight on Red Horse and the Dragon: https://amzn.to/2I0kRyY I purchased ours during a sale over at The Wooden Wagon the year before last and gave them to our younger boys for Christmas. (One received St. Martin and the Beggar and the other received St. George and the Dragon.)

    We've found them to be very sturdy! They have no trouble at all standing up and they hold up well to lots of play. Our six year old loves seeing how many he can stack on top of each other. I picture my grandchildren playing with these toys some day, they are definitely heirloom quality. The only problem we've had is with a corner of one of our peacock's getting chipped off after a big fall onto the hard tile.

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.
