Last week, while I was grocery shopping, I got distracted by the summer "clearance" table... Look what I picked up for less than $1.00 each.Lunch Trays!I pulled them out today, and I must say, lunch time has never been so much FUN! My kids absolutely LOVED them!I have...
More cake, please!This morning someone woke up early and decided to help herself to the rest of the cake a piece of cake. She was loving it... The other kids, not so much.(They were wanting some more too.)

I hope you all had a wonderful Valentine's Day!!!We had a very fun day! The weather was absolutely BEAUTIFUL! AND, when I made it out to the kitchen, there was a sweet little gift from my hubby! As for me, I gave hubby a copy of one of his favorite movies (on DVD) and...
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.
