Advent Preparations & A Jesse Tree Ornament Swap!

Oct 8, 2013 | , , , , | 23 Comments


So, who else is thinking ahead and making plans for Advent and Christmas?  With my younger children out of town I have quite the list of little projects I am hoping to complete over the next week, including wrapping some of the Christmas gifts I had (thankfully) purchased throughout the year as well as wrapping up books for this year’s Advent & Christmas Book Baskets and St. Nicholas Day!  I’ll try and post a complete list sometime, but my new picks for this year do include those pictured in the basket above:  Bambinelli Sunday (a newly published book by Amy Welborn), Kersti and Saint Nicholas (written by Hilda van Stockum, originally published in 1940 and reprinted in 2010!), and The Dolls’ Christmas (OOP, I finally found an inexpensive used copy earlier this year!). 

I am also going to be making some little “Angel” ornaments for a Jesse Tree Swap which Karen generously offered to host this morning on Facebook!   We will still use our original well loved felt Jesse Tree, along with our beautiful set of Jesse Tree Treasures Ornaments, but I am very excited to add a handmade set to our collection as well!  If you are interested in joining the swap go sign up now!  


A Prayer Request and Giveaway Winners

Oct 7, 2013 | , | 20 Comments

With all those fun giveaways last week, I had quite a few entry slips to cut and fold today!  It was actually just what I needed to help stop the tears and keep my mind off missing my babies…

Before the furlough, Sean was scheduled to take his vacation leave beginning today and had planned to take some of our children to visit his parents. (It has been 3 years since our last visit and they haven’t met our youngest yet… We would have loved to all go, but we can’t all fit in our mini-van – especially for this long of a drive – since we are one seat short, which is why it’s been so long since our last visit.) We went back and forth over canceling the trip, but decided to not put the visit off any longer, especially with winter (hazardous driving conditions) coming.   He ended up taking the five youngest (he is a crazy brave man!) and I am home with just the older boys (it is so quiet here).  Could you please remember them in your prayers?

Anyways, on to the winners of the giveaways, before I start crying again…  

Mommyof3 is the winner of the Catholic Mosaic giveaway, sponsored by Krista, and offered on the feast of St. Jerome! 

Jacqui is the winner of the St. Therese the Little Flower Daily Journal offered on the feast of St. Therese! 

Marie is the winner of Angel in the Waters and Catholic Treasure Box Book 1 offered on the feast of the Holy Guardian Angels!

Julie is the winner of The Greatest of These is Love, sponsored by author Megan Therese Schuelke, and offered on the traditional feast of St. Therese!

Elm is the winner of Mama’s Notebooks sponsored by Heather Wood, and also offered on the traditional feast of St. Therese!

Heather Wilson is the winner of Can you find Followers of Jesus? Introducing Your Child to Disciples, also sponsored by Krista, and offered on the Feast of St. Francis! 

Congratulations to you all and I will be contacting you soon for your mailing addresses!
(or if you see this first just email them to me at jessica.showerofroses(at)gmail(dot)com)
And thank you to Krista, Megan, and Heather for sponsoring some of the giveaways! 

I wish I could send each and every one of you a gift!  Your comments are always such a joy to read.  Thank you all for your kind words, prayers, and support!  I will offer up an extra rosary, on this beautiful feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, for all of you and your families!  

Celebrating the Saints :: St. Francis of Assisi

Oct 5, 2013 | , , , | 50 Comments

We are so blessed to have two of my friends, who are Catholic mothers and home educators, tutoring our children through the home-based charter school we use.  Our “allotment” goes quickly with the extra tutoring, so over the summer my friend Trina and I discussed options for this school year.  She suggested “trading” some time to stretch my allotment further – she would tutor my children in Math (and help with PAL) and I could do something for her… My question?  What could I possibly do for her?  (She is a brilliant teacher after all and was one of my siblings favorites at their high-school co-op.)  She laughed and said she could think of plenty, starting with CELEBRATING THE FEAST DAYS with her children!  She said all I would have to do is just include her children in some of the celebrations we have already throughout the year.  Ooh!! Yes, that I could do!   Her boys are also great friends with my boys, so everyone was excited about this arrangement and we have six fun feast days planned for this school year.  Today we had our first afternoon of “Celebrating the Saints” and it was so much fun!

.:  STORY TIME :. 

There are many many books on St. Francis.  Here are the books I choose from our collection to share with the children today… 

Introduction and Art Appreciation: 

by Carole Armstrong
“A lavishly illustrated volume–featuring the famed works of Raphael, Bosch, and Giotto–recounts the dramatic histories of many Christian saints, including John the Baptist, Francis of Assisi, and Joan of Arc.”

Art Appreciation:  Saint Francis Preaching to the Birds by Giotto about 1266-1337 Louvre, Paris
(Also featured on the front cover of the book.)

Read and Discuss:

by Mary Joslin
Vocabulary and Discussion Prompts from Catholic Mosaic
“Here, simply and charmingly retold, is the classic story of the man who became a channel of God’s peace to the world–its people and its creatures.”
We them moved on to the following fun books saving “the best for last” at the request of my boys:

by Bernadette Watts  
“After Saint Francis grants his wish for a golden cage, Crow realizes the folly of envy and the value of freedom and love.”

by Josephine Nobisso
“While other children’s religious titles focus on Saint Francis of Assisi as an adult, few, if any, have concentrated on the early life of the patron saint of animals and the environment. Stunning illustrations punctuate this beautifully told story of Saint Francis as a boy as he communes with nature and treats even the fiercest of animals—a hungry wolf—with the same compassion he would show his grandmother. In a fearless display of courage, tolerance, and understanding, the young Francis makes peace with the wolf, foreshadowing his teachings of harmony with the world around us and man’s duty to protect nature.”

by Richard Egielski
“Terrible wolf is terrorizing the town of Gubbia, and no one can stop him! First the townspeople send a brave knight. He never returns. Then they send an army of trained warriors. They get destroyed. Finally the townspeople send a great and mighty war machine, but even that can’t stop the wolf. The villagers don’t know what to do — until Saint Francis visits the town and speaks to the wolf in his own language.”

This is such a fun book to read and totally captivated the children…  



Can you tell which picture I was showing the kids when this photo was snapped?  😉 

Bud isn’t sure what to think about that scary wolf… 

.: ACTIVITY :. 

After we had finished reading all the books I sent the kids outside to burn off some energy while I prepared the supplies for decorating Wolf Paw Cookies!

You can find the directions either in the archives here at Shower of Roses, at Catholic Cuisine, or in this month’s issue of Catholic Digest! 😉

.: ST. FRANCIS COLORING PAGE :. 

I had printed out various coloring pages, but Charlotte’s St. Francis Coloring Page was unanimously voted the favorite and the only one chosen by the kids!  Thank you Miss Charlotte!

.: PIZZA :. 
I served pizza for lunch, perfect for this Italian saint! 

Olive Oil Pizza Dough

Dough: 

  • 3 1/4 cups lukewarm water
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon yeast
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 7 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

 To make the dough:
Use the “dump and stir method” of mixing the dough in a 5-quart Container with Lid, using a wooden spoon. Cover the container, not airtight and let it rest for about 2 hours on the counter. The dough can then be used right away, but it is much easier to handle once it has been thoroughly chilled. The dough can be stored in the refrigerator for 2 weeks!
Today, since we eat meatless on Fridays, we topped the pizzas with Chunky Tomato Sauce and Olive Oil, and various other toppings including Fresh Basil, Mozzarella, Parmesan, Sliced Mushrooms, and Black Olives.  Yum!!   
I transferred the pizzas from my counter to the hot stone in the oven using my amazing Super Peel and baked them at 500˚ for 5-6 minutes each. 

.: PRAYER :. 
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury,pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen.

On the Traditional Feast of the Little Flower

Oct 4, 2013 | , , | 47 Comments

Dear St. Thérèse, 
thou wert always good and obedient 
and always did the Will of God. 
Now thou art a great saint in heaven with God.
Thy loving and tender heart rejoices 
to send down roses upon earth. 
O give me the sweet flower of a great love of Jesus!
Pray for me that I may have all the graces I need. 

Prayer from Jesus, Make Me Worthy – a reprint of the original can be found here. 

Today I spent some precious moments with my little “Rose” teaching her about “Our Patron Saint” using one of my treasured childhood books.   Unfortunately my copy is tattered and missing the cover… I’ve searched for another copy, but have only found the (awful) revised edition from the 70’s with new illustrations and text…. I plan to keep searching!

It’s been an challenging week in our home, with the government shutdown, and I wasn’t able to bake any more special treats for today, but the older girls still celebrated by illustrating (using the same Catholic How to Draw book from yesterday)  a couple more pictures!  I thought they turned out beautifully!

St. Therese by Twinkle Toes (age 10) 

St. Therese by Chiquita (age 8)

Today I have two more giveaways for my dear visitors here at
Shower of Roses!


The first giveaway is for a newly released book titled The Greatest of These is Love.  This book is generously offered by author Megan Therese Schuelke, a young Catholic from Minnesota!   

“Megan Schuelke is a woman beyond her years. Her seemingly perfect world was rocked when she learned at age 17 that her mother had been diagnosed with cancer. In the midst of her desperation and frustration, Megan had a choice to make: She could run away from God, or she could run to Him. Megan chose to take God’s hand through the struggles, discovering along the way the beauty in the life He had planned for her. This book is more than just one young woman’s journey through life. It is a testament of God’s power to turn tears into dancing, to turn darkness into light. Megan’s story is one that inspires and gives hope to all young people searching for truth and love in a world filled with sadness.”

********************************************

The second giveaway is offered by Mama’s Notebooks.  Heather Wood has generously offered to send the winner of this giveaway a copy of Mama’s Notebook Weekly Planner and Organizer and The Budget Notebook! 


Mama’s Notebook Weekly Planner and Organizer:
Mama’s Notebook provides you with an easy, flexible, and efficient way to organize your life. In one glance, you can coordinate your meal plan with the whole day’s events and tasks, and there’s always ample room to take notes on the things that matter to you most! Unlike other planners, you can start up Mama’s Notebook on any week of the year, and you can skip weeks as needed. The back section of the planner provides you with easy reference sheets to help you schedule and shop efficiently.



The Budget Notebook:
The Budget Notebook by Mama’s Notebooks is designed to help you keep a household budget that is simple, easy, and accurate. It features charts for everything you’ll need to get your budget under control, as well as a Notes section at the back with ample room for planning, organizing, writing reminder and to-do lists, and tallying up sums.

********************************************

Note: I have not seen either the book or planners in person, but I am very much looking forward to checking out my review copies! Thank you Megan and Heather!

If you would like to be entered for either of these giveaways, just leave a comment on this post, and make sure your email address is either linked on your profile or included in the comment so that I am able to contact you if you win.

There is still time to enter the other giveaways for a copy of Catholic Mosaic, a copy of St. Therese the Little Flower Daily Journal, and the two children’s picture books. I’ll be back with one last giveaway sometime tomorrow! The giveaways will all be open through Sunday, October 6th and I will update each post and contact the winners next Monday, October 7th.

~ Capturing the context of contentment in everyday life. ~
{pretty}

It’s so exciting when our copy of Catholic Digest arrives in the mail each month and we can flip to my submission to see which pictures (including some that I submit with the article) were chosen to go along with the text.   Doesn’t it look so pretty?!

“If I did not simply live from one moment to another, it would be impossible for me to be patient, but I only look at the present, I forget the past, and I take good care not to forestall the future.” 
-St.Thérèse of Lisieux
Even though I choose the quote for today months ago, St. Thérèse must have known I would need to hear these words this week, as we struggle with my husband being sent home without pay until further notice due to the current government shutdown.   

Here is another inspiring quote that I ran across this week, 
while flipping through the pages in the St. Thérèse the Little Flower Daily Journal:   

“It is very well for great souls to soar high above the clouds when the storm is raging, but for us, we have merely to bear the showers with patience.” 
-St.Thérèse of Lisieux

I’m trying my best to not panic and bear the “showers” with patience and trust in God’s providence… 
{happy}
Look what arrived in the mail this week! The boys had loaned a friend a few of their Ranger’s Apprentice books and they were sent back with a box full of Pumpkin and Candy Corn Cookies and some special sticks for me to make some more of our own!  Visit ELM’s blog for the recipe and details.  BEST. SUGAR. COOKIES. EVER!

The boys are also very happy and excited that the next Ranger Apprentice book, The Royal Ranger, is coming out next month. They can hardly wait!

{funny}
So… Who wants to see my Cupcake Fails from earlier this week?  I had extra cupcakes from Michaelmas and wanted to turn them into lions for the feast of St. Jerome… I had run across these adorable lions and thought I’d give them a try, only using things I already had in the cupboard. Yeah.  Easier said than done.  Here are my results before giving up and keeping it simple: 

Nope… And it’s WAY too Orange.

And this one?  Wow.  I gave up before even finishing and nearly died laughing.  Just ask Charlotte.  She was laughing too, when I emailed her the picture of my “crazy caveman” cupcake.

Twinkle Toes told me to step aside and she’d show me how it’s done.
Hers is such a cute kitty!
{real}

Real Science 4-Kids Focus on Elementary Chemistry and Focus on Middle School Chemistry has been such a hit this school year. Today we had a blast making marshmallow molecules!
I’ll post a few more pictures soon, but here is one I snapped with my phone using Instagram.

I’ll be back soon with a few more pictures from today’s feast and another giveaway!

Angel of God, My Guardian Dear…

Oct 3, 2013 | , , , , | 68 Comments

I love you, good angel, 
My guardian dear.
I know that I’ll always 
Be safe while you’re near.

Enjoying his new colored pencils… 
… while coloring this beautiful Guardian Angel Coloring Page! 

Stay with me, angel, 
Through daytime and night. 
Help me especially to 
Do what is right. 

Illustrating an Altar from A Catholic How-to-Draw For Ages 3-Up…
… with Guardian Angels on each side.  

And at last, my dear angel, 
When this life is o’er.
Just set me down safely
At heaven’s gold door. 

I hope you all had a very lovely and blessed feast of the Holy Guardian Angels!
 (…which also happens to be our 14th Wedding Anniversary!) 
Catholic Treasure Box Book 1 and Angel in the Waters

“When tempted, invoke your Angel. He is more eager to help you than you are to be helped! Ignore the devil and do not be afraid of him: He trembles and flees at the sight of your Guardian Angel.”

“If He permit that all the flowers of your desires and of your good will fall to Earth without fruit, be not troubled.  At the moment of your death He will know well how to bring to perfection […] beautiful fruits on the tree of your soul.”

(This is just one of the many inspiring quotes found in the journal!) 

St. Jerome and the Lion

Sep 30, 2013 | , , , | 157 Comments

The oldest two boys are off having fun with their grandma today, watching my youngest brother (both Kevin and David are on college golf teams this year!) compete in one of his college golf tournaments!  My boys have only gotten to watch their uncle golf one other time and they were so excited, and more than willing to get a jump start on their school work for the week yesterday afternoon after Mass!

In the meantime, the girls have been helping me decorate some cupcakes for today’s feast of St. Jerome!

“lie-lie!” (aka: lion) 

After the littlest ones are up from their naps we will all read and discuss St. Jerome and the Lion by Margaret Hodges, using Cay’s excellent study guide found in Catholic Mosaic and the coloring page in Fenestrae Fidei!

Speaking of Catholic Mosaic, I have a copy to give away! My well-loved copy of Catholic Mosaic is the original spiral bound version, but this full color copy was sent by Krista (who happened to have an extra) for me to pass along to one of my visitors here at Shower of Roses.  Thank you Krista!

If you would like to be entered in this giveaway for a copy of Catholic Mosaic (my copy of St. Jerome and the Lion is not included), just leave a comment on this post, and make sure your email address is either linked on your profile or included in the comment so that I am able to contact you if you win.

Celebrating Michaelmas

Sep 30, 2013 | , | 10 Comments

St. Michael the Archangel Statue

.: Baking Michaelmas Cupcakes :. 

We have been making Devil’s Food Cake and/or Cupcakes to celebrate Michaelmas since 2008!  Assisting St. Michael in defeating the Devil by stabbing “the Devil” with a cocktail (or more commonly Playmobil) sword is looked forward to by all the children, especially a certain little boy who celebrates his “name-day” on this feast! 

I had lots of helpers this year, including St. Michael! 
(which Snuggles received for his birthday this year)

Yes, that was me back behind the church in the mud and rain (we currently are having the rainiest September, ever) after Mass, cutting a few blackberry branches to use as decorations! 😉

.: Coloring St. Michael:. 

Thank you, Miss Charlotte, for the Archangel coloring pages! 

.: Michaelmas Blackberry Cobbler :. 

I ended up making a blackberry cobbler too since, according to tradition (and Joanna Bogle in her Book of Feasts and Seasons), “blackberries are no good to eat after September 29th because ‘the Devil spat on them when he was cast out of Heaven into Hell on Michaelmas’!” I just posted the recipe over at Catholic Cuisine! 
.: Apple Puff Pancakes :. 

We usually make Apple Chicken, Steamed Carrots, and Angel Hair Pasta for Michaelmas, but Snuggles requested Apple Puff Pancakes and breakfast for dinner sounded perfect today! 
(Especially since Sean worked all weekend, trying to get in as many of this pay period’s hours in case we do have a government shutdown this coming week… Praying hard for this intention and trying not to worry…)

Once again I had lots of help…

Thankfully I had some big helpers who helped with the dishes and the last of the clean up, so I could take a little break from the kitchen!  
.: A Few More Pictures :. 

And because we look for any excuse to blow out candles in our home… we lit seven candles for Snuggles 7th name-day and everyone took turns blowing them out! 🙂 

After that it was time to draw the swords! 

Happy Michaelmas!

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.
