Although baby Easter baskets aren’t entirely necessary because they don’t really know what is going on, they are so fun to make. I enjoy putting items in my baby’s Easter basket that they already need, but fit the cute Easter theme. Plus, now that I have 5, soon-to-be 6 kids, my kids would not allow…

“Get Your Kid Outside” Easter Basket Ideas
One of the best things we can do for our kids is to get them outside. I love using these Easter basket ideas to facilitate that. I have 5 kids under 9 years-old, 4 of them are boys and so the nature-themed gifts really get their attention and they thoroughly enjoy them. These toys are…
Lent With Kids
Lent with kids can be a difficult balance, but bringing our children into our Lenten journey is so important. Making sure that it brought to their level can be hard. 40 days of sacrifice and growing darkness can seem too hard for our children to handle or comprehend. Additionally, our children understand more than we…
Catholic Home Aesthetic
Making sure that our homes have the right aesthetic or look is generally pretty important to most homemakers. As a Catholic, I love that people can tell from the first glance inside my home that we are Catholic. It is important to me that our home reflects our lifestyle and that lifestyle is directly related…
Living Liturgically- October
Living Liturgically looks different to every family and in different seasons. October has some of my favorite feast days, so it seemed fitting that this would be the first month that I tackle in this new series of mine. I want to give credit where credit is due and the idea of this post comes…

Stations of the Cross with Kids
Stations of the Cross is such a beautiful expression of God’s love for us. Although it can be said and followed all year round we try to say it weekly during Lent. Our parish has Stations of the Cross every Friday and typically that is the day we say it, but with 5 children all…
Easter Basket Ideas for Children Under 8
I love finding the perfect items for my kids’ Easter baskets. This year I am hoping to come up with some really practical, fun, Faith-filled, and preferably consumable items. In the past I have loaded up on Dollar Tree toys and candy that last a couple of days, break, or add to the clutter in…
Celebrating St. Lucy’s Feast Day
St. Lucy is a great Advent saint to celebrate. She pledged her virginity to God and was martyred as a result. She is usually depicted with her eyeballs on a tray she is holding because it is said that her eyeballs were removed, but she was still able to see. This is why she is…
Celebrating St. Nicholas’ Feast Day
Today I was at the pediatric dentist for my two oldest kiddos, and she mentioned Santa Claus. I told her that as Catholics we like to place the emphasis of St. Nicholas on his feast day which is December 6th and reserve Christmas for celebrated the birth of Jesus. She told me that that was…
