Saint-O-Lanterns

by | Nov 4, 2021 | Saint-O-Lanterns | 9 comments

This past Saturday we carved our annual Saint-O-Lanterns! We almost didn’t do it this year (we missed getting to the pumpkin patch before they closed for the season and I hadn’t purchase any pumpkins) but on Friday night I went out grocery shopping and was able to get some carving pumpkins at Trader Joe’s. I’m glad we made the effort.  It’s always messy and stressful so much fun!

    I've gotten so many emails and messages asking about the girls skirts that I should probably put together a post with links to ones we have purchased lately! 🙂

    What a beautiful job! Thanks for so many ideas! Where did you get the image of San Martin?

      Thank you!

      This was a couple years ago now but I think we did an image search for “St. Martin Clipart Silhouette” and then my son made a couple little modifications (add the helmet).

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.
