Little Blessings

Oct 30, 2013 | , | 88 Comments

It seems like lately, more often than not, I wonder if I should quit blogging, at least publicly. Is it worth all the time that it takes?  Is it worth all the negative/rude comments? (I moderate all comments now and usually delete any that are an attack on me, my family or my visitors.  Occasionally I do decide to respond.)  Is it worth seeing my family’s pictures taken without permission, even turned into memes and shared all over the internet?  Does the blog make a difference? Every time I start to pray about whether or not I should continue, God sends a little sign that it does indeed make a difference in so many more ways than I have even considered. Last week that sign came from the VP of Publishing at TAN Books! Here is a little excerpt from his email (which also included a generous gift card!) that totally made my day:

“…In my search to learn more [about Neumann Press’ titles], I stumbled upon your blog, filled with beautiful pictures of the titles. My entire team gathered around the conference room and our big screen TV and looked carefully at each picture you featured. I can not tell you how helpful this was. Your blog helped solidified in me a decision to reach out to the McCoy family and to learn about the company…”

I had absolutely no idea, but I am so glad that I was able to play a small part in keeping the treasures from Neumann Press available! God is Good!

And as of today Shower of Roses is officially an affiliate for TAN Books!  Have you pre-ordered any of the Neumann Press children’s books for Christmas yet?!   🙂

Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam!

All Saints’ Party Games :: Saint Themed Guessing Jars

Oct 29, 2013 | , , , , , | 31 Comments

A few days ago I happened to run across the link to some Saint Themed Guessing Jars at Catholic Inspired.  I loved the idea and and was inspired to create a variation for our annual All Hallows’ Eve / All Saints’ Party which we will be hosting again this week!

I prefer to keep the games simple for the party we host at our home, focusing on mostly group games like our All Saints Scavenger Hunt, All Saints Bingo, and the All Saints Puzzle Races – leaving plenty of time for standing around the bonfire, roasting marshmallows, lots of great food and visiting with friends and family.  This game will be a perfect addition and something that everyone will be able to participate in, both the children and adults!  

When I was out grocery shopping this past weekend I picked up a few of the original suggestions, adapting and adding some of my own ideas as well.  I then created saint themed labels for each jar.

I decided to use my Wide Mouth Mason Jars with White Storage Lids. (I plan to dump the contents of each jar into a treat bag or ziplock for each of the winners.)

   

St. Thérèse of Lisieux :: I didn’t have much luck finding candy roses, but I couldn’t leave St. Therese out of the game, so I used my rose candy molds and red and pink candy melts to make my own! 😉 

 

Our Lady of Mount Carmel ::  I opted for individually wrapped Rolo’s.  Not only are they filled with caramel, but they are wrapped in gold and look like little crowns, don’t you think?  Regular caramels would work great too.

St. Elizabeth Ann Seton :: I thought the Cinnamon Schoolbook Cookies from Trader Joe’s would be perfect for this dear saint who laid the foundation for what became the American parochial school system.

  

Holy Souls :: One bag of Jetpuffed Ghostmallows will represent the “Holy Souls” in purgatory, for whom we must always remember to pray.

 

The Holy Trinity :: Miniature “3 Musketeers” candy bars represent our one and the same God in three Divine Persons – the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

St. Francis of Assisi :: I also picked up the box of Animal Crackers at Trader Joe’s, though any brand would work just as well for St. Francis of Assisi, Patron of Animals.

St. Isidore :: Any sort of fruit or vegetable shaped candies would work for St. Isidore, the patron of farmers.  I choose candy pumpkins.  If we do this again next year I might go with candy corn!

 

St. Anthony :: Colored Goldfish will represent the legend of St. Anthony and the multitudes of fish that rose out of the water to listen to him preach.

 

St. Andrew :: Rainbow Fish were our pick for St. Andrew, the patron of fisherman.  

I also created labels for Mary’s Starry Mantle (Anything star shaped would work – Yogurt Stars from TJ’s, Star Shaped Pretzels, or handmade Star Candies) and St. Nicholas (Costco has a large bag of Chocolate Coins that a friend is picking up – the extras can be saved for St. Nicholas Day which is coming up in just over a month!).

To keep each person’s guesses secret I also created little sheets of paper for each contestant to write their name and guess, before folding it in half and dropping it into an empty jar with a matching label.

  Our children are so excited and can hardly wait to start guessing!  

A Trip to the Pumpkin Patch

Oct 29, 2013 | | 8 Comments

Yesterday morning, after Mass, we headed to the Pumpkin Patch!  Just like last year, we met my brother Brian and his family there, as well as my youngest brother David, Aunt Bridget and Uncle Shawn.  This year even my parents decided to drive out as well!  (I don’t remember my dad ever going to the pumpkin patch with us as children, since we always went with our homeschool group.)  It was such a fun day! 
Family Picture with my Parents and Youngest Brother
Our Little Family 🙂 
.: Pony Rides :. 
Most of the different activities at this particular farm require “tickets” so the children each choose a couple things each from the list.  Riding ponies was at the top of the list for Snuggles and Rose.  
Bud, on the other hand, wasn’t quite sure what they were and wouldn’t go anywhere near the ponies! He loved the tire swings though! 
.: Corn Maze :.
I didn’t have any plans to go in the corn maze again this year, especially after getting lost with Chiquita last year, but the workers ended up letting each of the older ones go in with a younger one so we had plenty of tickers and I decided to give it another shot.   
I was able to take one quick group picture (with Rascal’s bubble gum popping on his face) before they were off and left Bud and I in the dust. 
Here are a couple pictures I posted on Instagram while we were lost in the maze.
Bud and I were enjoying spending time together… 
… and just as when he was too tired to walk any further Daddy showed up to help us find our way out! 
.: Shooting Galley :. 
The shooting gallery was a blast! Our short little Snuggles was about a foot shy of the height requirements, much to his disappointment, but the older boys (all of them!) were having a great time trying to hit the pumpkin targets. 
Brian, Rascal, David, Dad, Sean and Captain – Ready, Aim, Fire! 
It was so much fun to watch Brian *almost* hit that moving target! 😉 
And I couldn’t resist giving it a shot.  I didn’t hit the pumpkin, but it did go through the middle of the tire!  So close… 
.: Cousins :. 
All the kids piled up on the wagon for a picture with their sweet little cousin. 
.: Pumpkin Patch :. 
While everyone else was searching for pumpkins, Rascal was busy creating a Pumpkinman! 
Unfortunately, just as we were about to decide on some pumpkins, the clouds rolled in unexpectedly, the rain started, and we all headed straight to the car without leaving all the pumpkins in the field.Instead we picked up a few at Trader Joe’s on the way home, following a relaxing afternoon eating pizza and assembling a puzzle with all everyone at Brian and Meagan’s home.  
Now we just need to decide what to carve this year! 

The Dolls’ Saint Costumes {with links to our children’s past Saint Costumes!}

Oct 25, 2013 | , , , , | 13 Comments

I’m not the only one who has been working on preparing costumes for our upcoming annual All Hallows’ Eve Party…  The older girls have been busy creating costumes for the dolls as well!  

Josefina is dressed as Our Lady of Guadalupe… 



… complete with a blue play silk veil covered with paper stars, and paper roses at her feet! 

Caroline is dressed as St. Cecilia…

… Kaya is dressed as St. Kateri…

… Kirsten is dressed for Lucia Day in honor of St. Lucy…
(She is wearing the original American Girl outfit and wreath, but I am dying to show you all a beautiful new option that a friend of mine has recently created… soon!)

… and Mia (as in ME-ah – Rose’s look like-me-ah doll) is dressed as Our Lady of the Rosary!
I always love seeing their creativity! 
Anyways, it is time for me to get back to helping the children assemble their costumes for this year, now that the girls have shown me how to thread the machine…. (I am so thankful I had them take that sewing class this past summer!)   We are headed to our parish’s party this evening and I will try to share this year’s costumes soon.  In the meantime you can browse through some of the children’s past Saint Costumes in the archives or by clicking the individual links below.

Tan Books Acquires Neumann Press!

Oct 23, 2013 | | 13 Comments

Last June I shared our inspiring collection of books from The Neumann Press. I was incredibly excited this morning when a friend let me know that Tan Books has acquired Neumann Press!  I am so thankful that these books will continue to be available, and at even lower prices making them more affordable for Catholic families!

“TAN is preserving the Neumann Press name as an imprint and maintaining the Neumann Press website. In addition, Neumann Press titles will be added to TAN’s own direct mail catalogs and consumer website. TAN will reissue 22 Neumann Press titles before Christmas and over 70 titles before the end of the year, most in their original hardcover bindings. TAN is lowering Neumann Press retail prices across the board and extending TAN resellers their normal terms.”

Deo Gratias! 

Home Again!

Oct 21, 2013 | , , | 13 Comments

 

Sean and our five youngest arrived home Saturday afternoon, on the 13th day of their trip to visit his parents and introduce our little man to his grandparents!  I’m so glad they were able to finally make the trip, but I was also very happy to have them all home again!  I didn’t pick up my camera at all over the weekend (I was too busy holding my babies!) but here are a couple pictures that were taken on Saturday with my phone, right after I was nearly knocked over by Twinkle Toes, Chiquita and Snuggles who beat the little ones into the house and tackled me with hugs!  

Yesterday, as we were about to leave for Mass, Bud refused to sit down in his car seat until he saw me open the door and get in the van.  I think they all missed me too!  

Meet the Masters :: Art Portfolios

Oct 18, 2013 | , | 7 Comments

This year we are studying art with Meet The Masters!

A couple weeks ago we completed the Art Portfolios preview lesson as we began working our way through Track A.

Meet the Masters is a three step program that begins with an online lesson “Introducing the Masters,” step two continues with teaching “Art Techniques,” and then in step three the children move on to the actual “Art Activity.” The project that the students complete for each lesson uses all the techniques they had just learned to create their own masterpiece inspired by each master artist.

Looking at the three levels available I decided to just use the lessons for Ages 10-Adult, simplifying the art activities for my younger children if necessary.

The tracks are available directly from Meet the Masters, but can also be found at a discount at Rainbow Resource and bundles are available at the Homeschool Buyers’s Co-Op.   Rainbow Resource also carries Art Supply Bundles and we are using the Art Bundle for Track A.

During the preview lesson we were given an introduction to a number of master artists, who we will eventually study, including: Vincent van Gogh, Claude Monet, Mary Cassatt, Winslow Homer, Piet Mondrian, and Pablo Picasso.   We then went on to learn about “looking carefully” and “seeing differently” – complete with some optical illusions that the kids loved!

Our Art Activity for the Preview Tract was to design a Portfolio!

The instructions suggested creating the portfolios with construction paper, but for added durability we used large sheets of poster board folded in half and stapled together on each edge.

Everyone was provided with a blank palette to include on the cover of their portfolio.  Instead of filling the palette with paint colors we either listed or included photos of all the artists we plan to learn about this year – including ourselves!

 

 
 
 
 

We didn’t follow the directions exactly (perhaps we would have if I had read them completely before starting!) but we all had such a great time, and the kids convinced me to create my own portfolio too!

Now we just have to get started creating some art to store inside our portfolios!

Up first is Vincent van Gogh… We will learn about him and then create our own “Starry Night!”

And what perfect timing with the publication of Katie and the Starry Night earlier this month!

I am sure I will be sharing some more of our “masterpieces” throughout the year!

Out for a beautiful fall walk on Sunday afternoon.

“Well, it sure looks like the devil spat on those blackberries!”

Still smiling 5 miles later!

Tuesday night we attended our parish’s welcome Mass for our new Archbishop!   He has been visiting every parish in the diocese and ours was the last on the list, but also the first that he brought his mother to since he had to show her this incredibly beautiful part of his diocese!   It was such a joy to visit with His Excellency and his mother!

He remembered Captain from summer camp and asked Rascal if he would be attending next year.  When Marc was about to take this picture the Archbishop said “A picture with two of my future priests!”   I laughed and responded, “Well, you might have to fight the FSSP for them!” He turned to me and said that perhaps we can have both! I shared briefly about our family’s connections to the FSSP and how we have prayed to have them in our diocese for many years. The Archbishop told me that he is a friend to the FSSP (he did their Diaconate Ordinations in 2012) and would love to have them in his diocese! I left with such great hope for the future and could hardly wait to call my husband, who has been applying for various jobs for the last 14 years trying to relocate to a more traditional diocese.  Every time a job would fall through I would say that perhaps God wants us here for some reason… And we would keep praying. Between our quarterly Latin Masses this past year and now our new Archbishop, we have been so incredibly blessed.

Who needs creamer when there is Pumpkin Ice Cream in the freezer?
(And yes I was conveniently ignoring my dairy intolerance Monday morning!) Yum!

{real}
My new favorite dessert?  Salted. Caramel. Truffle. Brownies.  YUM! 

In addition to the brownies I also had everything needed to make some more Peach Sangria, using some frozen peaches this time.  After asking just about every local friend (or acquaintance!) I know on Facebook or through email I was able to round up a total of 12 for a Ladies’ Bunco Night at my house last night!  

I also baked an Apple Cake and had Apple Cider simmering on the stove.   Each person brought an appetizer or dessert to share, along with $5 to be used for prizes, and we had a blast!  Everyone arrived at 7:00 and we played Bunco until about 9:30 or so.  I wasn’t the only one who had been needing a fun night with friends… It was after midnight before everyone had headed home! 


I had just won the prize ($20!) for most buncos when the phone rang and it was Sean’s supervisor letting us know that he will report back to work on Monday, following the remainder of his previously scheduled (but canceled due to the furlough) vacation leave!  Deo Gratias!!!! 

Sean and the little ones all left his parents today, amidst lots of tears from the older girls and Snuggles who all loved getting to know their grandparents, and arrived safely at their first destination. They still have two more days of driving, but will arrive home on Saturday! The boys and I can hardly wait!!

Making Marshmallow Molecules!

Oct 15, 2013 | , | 10 Comments

This year some of our children have been studying chemistry using the great books from Real Science-4-Kids.  We are using Focus on Elementary Chemistry for both Chiquita (3rd grade) and Snuggles (1st grade).  Twinkle Toes (4th grade) is working her way through Focus on Middle School Chemistry, which is more challenging and seemed to be a better fit for her.  (Currently my plan is to have her complete all the Middle School books in the series – Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Geology and Astronomy – before possibly moving on to Concepts and Challenges in Science sometime before high school.)  So far everyone has been very happy with the switch and learning so much, including myself since I never did study chemistry growing up! 😉 

The chemistry books are broken into ten chapters and we have been spending about two weeks or so on each – one week reading and studying the material in the student textbook and the following week working through the activities and experiments in the corresponding laboratory workbooks.    
Elementary Book on the Left and Middle School Book on the Right
I love that both levels cover basically the same material in each chapter (the middle school book is just more advanced and goes into further detail) so it is easy for me to combine lessons and work with all the children at the same time. 

The week before last we completed the experiments for Chapter 2 – which was all about “Molecules” – and the kids were so excited to see that the lab experiments included making molecules with marshmallows! 
Demonstrating a “water molecule” 

Recording data in their workbooks

First they got to make whatever creations they wanted, then they had to “follow the rules” to create specific types of molecules.  

The older boys wanted to know why they don’t get to use this awesome science program this year… I’m actually considering switching them next semester, once they complete Book One of Concepts and Challenges in Science.  We’ll see… In the meantime they can’t resist participating in all the experiments!  

 

“Mom!  I made a square based Pyramid… Can this count as my Ancient History project?!”  
I am really looking forward to the kids returning from their trip so we can move on to Chapter 3! 

My Daybook :: October 13, 2013

Oct 13, 2013 | , , | 46 Comments

Outside my window… 
after a record-setting rainy September, we have finally been enjoying some beautiful fall weather!

I am thinking…        
about ways I can reduce our monthly expenses and help supplement our (lack of) income, during this government shutdown, in addition to the commissions I currently earn through Amazon and other affiliate links here at Shower of Roses.  Thank you all for your support in this way, and for each and every purchase you all make through my links!  It all adds up!  It may not be enough to pay our house payment, but it is enough to help buy groceries and hopefully stretch the little we have in savings (that we had hoped to use as a down payment on a larger van) for a couple months if necessary.

I am thankful… 
for video chat. The other morning my little baby boy pulled his daddy over to the computer, pointed to the screen and said “MAMA?!”  Oh, I miss that little boy of mine! It was the second time this week we have been able to use the video chat. What a blessing!

Learning all the time… 
I am also thankful for the wonderful (Catholic!) tutors I have for our children, through our local homeschool charter school!  Even though the younger children were gone Kathleen spent her usual 5 hours here on Thursday afternoon teaching the boys their next couple Math lessons, reviewing their Latin and Science, and building various circuits with them using Snap Circuits.  She is such a blessing!

This week the boys also really enjoyed learning how to use a compass.

Kathleen brought her own college Staedtler Compass along and said they are the best.  I will have to get one for the boys sometime soon – apparently they will be needing one to complete their upcoming lessons.

Celebrating the liturgical year… 
The feast of St. Teresa of Avila is coming up on Tuesday, October 15th, and the boys and I will be celebrating with an evening “Welcome Mass” for our new Archbishop! Our oldest had the opportunity to meet him at his summer camp, but the rest of us have not had the privilege.  We are very excited!  You can find a few additional ideas for the feast of St. Teresa of Avila in the archives.

From the kitchen… 
My brother Brian is awesome!  I’ve been working on cleaning and organizing my closet this past week and asked if he could come over and cut open the attic access in the ceiling of my closet.  My hope was that I might find a little storage space.  No such luck there – just lots of insulation and the furnace – but he did bring us dinner!

I am working on… 
a “Media Kit” for Shower of Roses.  I have been turning down blog “sponsors” for years, only listing “affiliate” links and offering some reviews and giveaways from time to time, but now I am reconsidering this as an option.   My biggest hesitation has been that it would influence the way that I blog and change my blog in a negative way.   I’ve been blogging long enough that I don’t think that will be an issue.  I also plan to be selective in the businesses that I allow to advertise in the sidebar, making sure they are businesses I would purchase from myself and recommend to friends.  I’ll be adding a button to the sidebar soon for my first advertiser, Catholic Embroidery, and you all know I highly recommend them already and have their beautiful products sprinkled around our home!

I am creating… 
lots of little angels for a Jesse Tree Ornament Swap, with craft supplies I already happened to have in my closet.  I was so excited to see it fill up (along with a 2nd swap as well) so quickly!

I am going… 
to try and finish up on a few blog posts I’ve had in my drafts folder – a few State-by-State Pages, Making Marshmallow Molecules, decorating Art Portfolios, and more.  I always have so many posts I begin and never have quite enough time to complete!

I am hoping… 
to finish deep cleaning and organizing the house before all the little ones get home.  It is taking longer than I thought it would, but will be so nice once it is done…

I am praying… 
for all those who have asked me to pray for them, and especially for the safety of my family while we are separated.  My husband’s parents live in a rather dangerous border town, and last night a border patrol helicopter was shining a light into the next door neighbors yard, with additional agents on the ground with guns and flashlights.  Not exactly what this worried mama wanted to hear…

I am reading… 
and sorting through all sorts of paperwork as I clean out all the boxes that had been stored in my closet. I stayed up way too late the other night after discovering these “CWOD” Magazines from my college days at Christendom.  Does anyone recognize the illustrator?  🙂

Pondering these words…
from the Catholic Digest Quiet Moment for today:

“We shall steer safely through every storm so long as our heart is right, our intention fervent, our courage steadfast, and our trust fixed on God.” ~ St. Francis de Sales

I am listening…  
to Angels and Saints at Ephesus.  Every single hymn on the CD is beautiful and inspiring, but one of my favorites is “A Rose Unpetalled” – a poem of St. Therese of the Child Jesus and the Holy Face, set to music.  I also love “Dear Angel Ever At My Side!” Both are perfect for October!

Around the house… 

baskets filled with warm blankets.  It has been chilly lately!

One of my favorite things…  
spending time with my children.  As much as I (we all!) miss the little ones, I am sure enjoying this special time at home with just our two oldest boys!
This week’s plans…

  • Start planning this year’s All Hallows’ Eve/All Saints’ Party – it is coming up so quickly! 
  • Mrs. M tutoring Math on Tuesday
  • Welcome Mass for the Archbishop Tuesday Night
  • Party (Ladies Night) at my house for anyone who would like to come on over! 😉
  • Mrs. W tutoring on Thursday
  • Welcome home the rest of the family as soon as the arrive – most likely sometime between Thursday and Saturday!
Early Monday morning – Day 1 of a 2 day (22+ hour) drive to visit grandparents! 

A little peek at my day…
It has been soooo quiet in our home!  Last night the boys and I enjoyed our Saturday evening playing cards, eating gluten-free chocolate chip pumpkin cake (the boys made it using the recipe on the side of the Namaste Vanilla Cake Mix), and staying warm near our first fire this fall.

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.
