~ Capturing the context of contentment in everyday life. ~

Here are a few more pictures from this past Sunday!  These were all taken on my phone.

I purchased a few new things from the Sunflower Smiles collection for the girls “back-to-school” pictures, with my Gymbucks last month.  Chiquita will be getting this dress, but I gave her the headband early, to wear on Sunday, since it matched Twinkle Toes old sweater so nicely.

Watching the seagulls fly around the parking lot.  So captivating, those seagulls!

Bud’s hair… No matter what I do, it’s extra thick and always wants to stick up down the middle!

Our sweet little Rose…
Hubby mentioned that the lyrics from this Sound of Music song fit her so well, especially the other morning during Mass.  She can be such a stinker!
“Unpredictable as weather…”

*Twinkle Toes’ veil can be found here (Modesty Veils website no longer active), and here is the link to Amy’s free pattern for the veil Rose is wearing, which she gave to my girls.

    PS. My family and I have moves to Colombia (South America) from Comnecticut. But I still love reading your blog as it is so inspiring for Catholic living!! I hope to get back to blogging one of these days. Oops a few typos and for some reason it's not letting me correct them. Anyhow, God bless you and your family from a sister-in-Christ. Hopefully I can try to incorporate some of your lovely ideas with my three little boys.

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.
