Scenes from a Summer’s Day ~ Aug 4th

Somebody was sneakin’ into the snacks at swimming…


P.S. To those of you that I owe emails, I am so sorry that it is taking me so long to respond! I really love hearing from you all, I am just totally slightly behind with everything right now… It has been a fun but EXHAUSTING week so far. I feel like I am treading water trying to keep up with it all! Did you notice my schedule? Of the 5 swimming lessons, I am suppose to be in the water for 3 of them, and my poor body is just not use to this, plus it is not the best time of the month, IYKWIM… I am SO sore and exhausted! I thought I was in better shape than this! ☺ See you all soon… Hopefully!

    Sweet little snack stealing baby.

    Take a break…do not be so hard on yourself. Life goes one. Most important thing is you take care of yourself and your family.

    Man, I can’t imagine what it’d be like to try to balance five kids with swimming lessons. Some days I go bonkers with only four children and no swimming lessons! Hang in there!

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.
