Lent is Approaching!
Hello friends!
I know it's been a while! Between Christmas until now, someone has practically been sick. I'm still getting over a cough. And I will just say that pleurisy is NOT fun. Still getting over that as well. Anyway...the Christmas season has come and gone (we had a wonderful Christmas) and now Lent is approaching. Time is flying! If you are giving up or doing anything extra for Lent, please let me know in the comments. I think I'm going to work on taking more quiet time for prayer and less screen time. I have also been focusing on living more simply and getting rid of things I rarely use. It's so nice knowing where everything is because I have no piles of stuff to look through.
Well, to catchup, I will be posting some words of inspiration from St. Therese. Have a blessed Saturday!
God bless you!

Advent 2019
A blessed Advent to you all!
Decorating for Advent/Christmas is so much fun! I like to keep it pretty simple. Most of our decorations are over our fireplace. I have some mistletoe around the house, a wreath on the front door and a mason jar filled with scented pine cones, pine needles, wood, etc...it's basically potpourri. I also put out a couple Christmas books and Christmas toys for the kids. Putting these things out only during this season keeps these items fun! Sometime this weekend we will go and pick out a Christmas tree. What are some of your favorite ways to decorate for this holy season?
God bless you!

PS: I also have a Charlie Brown Christmas tree on our piano. 🧡

Belated Allhallowtide Post
Good morning readers!
Just sharing a little blurb about what has been going on and in honor of the Holy Saints in Heaven.
It was pretty miserable outside this past Halloween, so we didn't take the kids trick-or-treating. We did pass out some candy to the brave ones who went. We also dressed the kids up as Popeye and Olive Oyl as a fun way to greet the children coming to the door. I'm finding out how fun it is to dress your own kids up. They look so cute in whatever to put them in. My daughter was a pumpkin for her first Halloween and St. Therese of Lisieux for her second. This was my Son's first Halloween.
So, in Honor of the Holy Saints in Heaven, we pray...
and in remembrance of the Holy Souls in Purgatory (and all of us on Earth), we pray...
God bless you!
