Before I move on to sharing some pictures from Our Little Flowers Mother-Daughter Tea Party, I thought I’d post a few pictures from our family celebration in honor of the Blessed Mother’s birthday this past Saturday.
Originally I had intended to serve the birthday cake during our tea, but we ended up with so many delicious foods and desserts that everyone just couldn’t eat one more thing and I decided to save it for my kids. The boys and our little Rose were especially excited to not be left out of all the fun!
Speaking of celebrating, I also just noticed that this is my 2000th post! Isn’t that crazy? I remember getting excited when I made it to 100! I started this little blog just over 5 years ago, right before Snuggles was born. At that time I had no idea how much this little space would bless our family with friendships, prayers, support, and (most unexpectedly) even financially (thank you to all of you that purchase through my affiliate links). Blogging has helped keep me sane and is actual proof that I really do get things done around here, despite what it feels like most of the time! 😉 God sure does provide for all of our needs!
Taking a look at the Shower of Roses stats I am so amazed that there are 1230 of you currently following though feeds and the blog is quickly approaching 1,000,000 unique visits with over 2,000,000 page views since 2007!
With the feast of St. Therese coming up at the beginning of next month, I thought this would be the perfect time to host another giveaway! I’ve put together a St. Therese Gift Package (*basket not included) for one of my visitors. The package will include:
- A lovely St. Therese “Living the Little Way” Apron donated by Catholic Embroidery (Now is the perfect time to start ordering aprons or other beautiful embroidered products as Christmas gifts! Catholic Embroidery now also has a blog and Facebook page, so be sure to check those out as well)
- Rose Covered Journal
- Rose Notecards
- A Set of Rose shaped votive candles
- A pretty little wall plaque of St. Therese
- 1 bar of Cinnamon Nutmeg Soap and 1 bar of Honey Almond Soap (not pictured) donated by Three Little Maidens Soap Company (These would also make great gifts!)
Update: For those of you that are not seeing your comments, all you need to do is click the “Load More…” link at the end of the first page of comments. I, too, had a hard time figuring out where they were disappearing to, but apparently Blogger has a limit on how many comments will show on the first page. This was the first time you all have ever even come close to exceeding that limit!
Thank you Jessica and congrats on the 2000 posts. Wow. I am entering for my 17 year old who is very devoted to St. Therese. God bless you and all your treasures.
Be sure to leave your name, or at least an email address, so I know who to contact in case you win! 🙂 Thanks and God bless you too!
Hi Jessica– I LOVE your blog!! Thank you for sharing so much of your family with so many of us!!
Lindsay
I love your blog and have been reading it for a while. St Therese is one of my favorite saints.

I've been following your blog for some time now, as it was an inspiration when I was a co-leader with Little Flowers… I rarely ever post a comment, but I just wanted to tell you what a wonderful inspiration you are, as a Catholic momma following God's plan to be fruitful in marriage. You have a lovely family! If I only had half the energy you have to be crafty and celebrate the feast days with special meals… you rock!
That is such a pretty cake pan; I need to order one! And then find a paleo cake to bake in it. 😉
Thank you for your beautiful blog. You have helped me immensely as I lead my first year of Little Flowers! Congratulations on your 2000th post!
Oh! I'd love to win! My husband and I got engaged on the feast of St. Therese because we love her so much and we even named our daughter (who has on October birthday) after her.
I love your blog! Congrats on the milestone!

One of my granddaughters(9) was baptized at 7 years old and received her communion the same year. The other granddaughter is 6 and not yet baptized. I share our Catholic traditions with them the best I can.
I recently shared St. Theresa's story with the older one. After hearing it, her eyes grew very large, and she said, "Really?" "Cool."
She'll be with me this weekend, and I'll be sharing your wonderful blog with her!
[email protected]
Oh, how I love that beautiful Madonna statue of yours!
Congratulations on your 5 years and awesome stats. Your blog has always been one I go to for ideas.

Thank you for the great giveaway!

You still amaze me, Jessica! We have to do this birthday party for Mary next year. I actually logged on to show my husband your Settler's of Catan party.

Congrats on your beautiful blog. The feast of St Therese is big around here…we belong to St. Teresa's parish. Hoping to win the prize – thanks!
Thank you for doing this. I am been following your blog for a couple years now and you are an inspiration. I come away uplifted everytime I read it. We have a special devotion to St. Therese due to infertility and we named our little girl after her. We are also starting another Novena to St. Therese for hopefully another blessing so the timing is amazing..maybe a sign??:) Thank you again and God Bless you and your family!!~Jean

Congrats on the BIG 2000…. I love to read your blog. St. Therese of Lisieux is my favorite Saint. That is what drew me to your blog. I would love to win this giveaway. I subscribe to littleflower.org & support the carmelites, Fr. Bob who runs the site sends out daily devotionals that I get in my email that were written by St. Therese when she was alive. I post them on my blog everyday under the "MY Faith" tab. I haven't figured out the html to run a drop down navigational bar yet, so every time I post under "My Faith" I basically post it as a running update. That's ok though, I still post her words of encouragement, faith and love of our heavanly father every day. Please check them out if you ever get a free moment. (happyhomeschoolroom.blogspot.com). Once again, Congrats, and thank you for sharing your love of religion and St. Therese with all of us.
God Bless,
Kimmie Rose <3
In review I had some errors I needed to correct with my post, in order to do so I had to delete and repost. My apologies.

Hi Jessica – what a terrific cook and I love your statue! If I won I'd keep it till next year and have it as a raffle on her feast day. Can't do it this year because we are in Australia and it wouldn't get here in time. I have however shown/given staff LOTS of your ideas for this year's celebration. I love your creativity!

I am grateful for your blog. I visit it very often and love all the wonderful ideas. Your pictures are beautiful, wondering what kind of camera you use and if you've always been good at photography or if that is something you've been able to learn. I'm horrible at taking pictures but my husband just got me a new camera in hopes that it might help me. Your blog gives me hope about so many things. Thank you so much.

My kids just love when they get their "Patron Saint Pencils" on the first day of school or when I cook something special for a feast day. Thank you! We love St. Therese in our house and attribute our son's healing of epilepsy to her intercession. My youngest daughter is named after her! [email protected].

Jessica,
You have been a great source of inspiration to me as Mother, Wife and Homeschool Mom. You also have saved me a lot of time with your beautiful, wonderful and creative ideas. But most of all, I have learned so much about our faith since following your blog in the past 3 years. I have read many of the books you have shared and started many of the traditions your family celebrates. And there is still so much I wish I had the time to do. You are great at what you do. May God Bless you and your family with much health and more joyful times. Thank you for all you have shared!

Your blog has blessed my family as well! Thanks for all you do! The St. Therese package you put together looks lovely. Most of those items would make a great gift for my daughter, who turns 9 on the Feast of the Guardian Angels. (And I always think of you and your hubby on that day, and say a prayer for you two!) My daughter's middle name is Rose and she loves St. Therese. I think it's neat that she was born on the day between St. Therese's new and traditional feast days! Please enter me. Thanks and God bless you and your family! shaffer834(at)netzero(dot)com

I'm a homeschooling mom from the Philippines and I enjoy your blog, although I have yet to try doing the recipes you post. Thank you for sharing what you do and for your generosity. I prayed to St. Therese when we were trying to decide whether to shift from traditional school to homeschool. We're now on our 6th year of homeschooling! 🙂

What a beautiful giveaway Jessica! I have really enjoyed your blog!
I just recently discovered your blog. I love all your creative ideas on how to celebrate and to honor St. Therese. I'm planning to use some of your ideas this year when I celebrate her feast day. Since St. Therese is my patron saint, this will make her feast day just that much more memorable and special for me. Thank you for sharing your wonderful and creative ideas!

I found your blog through Catholic Cuisine on Facebook. My saint name is for St. Therese, and my oldest daughter's name is Rose because of that. I call her my little flower 🙂 She would love all the pretty rose items. [email protected].
Congratulations! I just found this blog, but happy to see devotion to our Blessed Mother.

I love your blog. Your family is so sweet. We love celebrating the saints too. Your posts are inspiring. As a mom to 11, six now 'officially' adults, we still love getting together for feast Days! My fifth daughter is named after St. Therese, this would be an extra special feast day for her to win this basket. Thanks.
Thank you for your blog, it is such a blessing to our family! It has gotten me through a lot of hard days.

God bless x

Jessica, how fantastic….2000 posts! I found your blog, about 2 1/2 years ago, after doing a search for my CCD class! How you have inspired so many of us and help to continue to teach all of us about our beautiful church and live it fully, everyday! I have found such beautiful things, to incorporate into our home, and for that, I thank you! Many Blessings to you and your family!

Trying to make a comment…. [email protected] Not seeing it post.
It's here! I was having the same problem until I noticed the "Load More…" under the comment box. I've never had this many comments on a blog post before and apparently there are now too many to list on one page! 🙂
Congratulation on 2,000 posts! I love reading your family's journey in faith and truly would like to talk to you about Little flowers-I'm very curious.
Thanks for your inspiration! You help our family rejoice and learn more about our beautiful Cathoilc family. Blessings!

Jessica, you have been inspiring me for years! You are the reason we now have Saint O' Lantern contests at our parish and the idea has really transformed the way many view All Hallows Eve and All Saints day! Thank you for all that you do from the bottom of my heart. May God Bless you and your beautiful family!
