Happy Easter Monday! I stopped to admire the “Raindrops on Roses” before getting back in the car this morning. I’m going to miss this little slice of heaven on earth! #thomasaquinascollege

This road trip has been filled with one blessing after the next… Beautiful Masses, touring Missions, visiting my husband’s parents, and spending time with many new and old friends! Today I got to visit with one of my dearest childhood friends (and bridesmaid!) who I hadn’t seen since her wedding nine years ago! It was so great to catch up and meet her three (soon-to-be four!) darling little boys!

One last visit with friends! Thank you for your hospitality @joyfilledfamily

The Easter Baskets will have to wait until after we get home from this road trip, there just wasn’t any extra room in the car, but I do have some symbolic Easter candy for the kids to wake up to in the morning! I’m finishing them up now, before the Easter Vigil begins at 11pm!

After driving 3,000+ miles over the past 11 days, it’s so good to be home! 
I will have more pictures to share from our road trip (visiting grandparents, touring missions, and celebrating Easter!) just as soon as I catch up the laundry download them from the camera! 
Additional pictures from our road trip: St. Joseph’s Day and Good Friday
Happy Easter!

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.
