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.

What fun!
Looks like a lot of fun. So many pumpkins! I love the last photo with the kids in the cut outs. Cute!
Your pics are great!! Your daughters look so cute in those dresses and boots! That look is adorable!! I like that style of dress for my girls, too, but I never thought to pair them with boots. Hmmm … Makes me want to go shopping right now! LOL =)
I am so bummed that we didn't get to go to the pumpkin patch this year. 🙁
So cute!! A visit to the pumpkin patch is always so much fun. Happy All Hallow's Eve!
God bless!
p.s. those dresses are so cute! I saw them online recently and was so tempted to get them. They look beautiful on your girls. 🙂
Thanks everyone! We did have a great time!
I too LOVE the girls dresses and boots. I happened to have a couple $10 off coupons for LL Bean, which made the dresses only $14.50 each, and the boots (between a couple great sales and additional coupons at Famous Footwear and Gymboree) were also $15-18 per pair!!! I was very excited to get them for winter. The girls can now each have a pair of Black and Brown boots to wear under there dresses (with leggings or tights) and should stay plenty warm.
As I was thinking of how thankful I am that the Gospel writers had time to relay their experiences with Jesus, I thought of you! I wanted to let you know how grateful I am that you share your homeschool/family experiences. I am so inspired and motivated by all that you do with and for your family. Thank you so much!
(Oh..and before Mass today, we received a framed picture of St. Therese, the same one you have as your blog header!)
