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.

Wow!! What a difference! Simeon weighs 7lbs 6 oz as of Friday. (our goal is to get him to 10 lbs so he can have surgery!)

What a darling baby! You and I were pregnant and due close to the same time! I had a little boy, Peter Michael, on Jan. 7th and we are just enjoying havng a newborn in our home. I love reading your blog Jessica and am so inspired by you! Many blessings!
Oh, I love to see how lovingly and gently your daughter is handling him. +JMJ+
Precious. Melts my heart.
What a blessing it is, that the older children learn by example how to care so lovingly for the baby. God bless you all.
Oh Jessica, he is so handsome! Babies are such a blessing!!! Twinkle Toes reminds me of my daughters holding their little siblings. A little piece of heaven on earth! Love, Lori
He is adorable! I can tell he is getting bigger! Oh, how fast they grow! 🙁
Older sister must love him so much, she looks so happy to be holding him. Thanks for sharing the darling pics of baby Bud.
