Lent with Kids 2017

March 3, 2017

LENT 2017

We are now into Lent! To celebrate and teach Lent to my children I decided to make a Lent Board this year. It has a list of all our sacrifices, prayers, and almsgiving ideas. All I used was a display board from the dollar store and free printables I found online. Here is a peek at our Lent Board…

The left side has a sacrifice and alms list that I printed and laminated. I laminated these so I can use dry erase markers to easily erase or add to it. My children (mainly Bradley, the others followed) have decided to give up Minecraft/ Youtube. I was pleasantly surprised when Bradley came up to me and told me he wanted to give up his favorite game. It was definitely a proud mommy moment. In the middle section, I have a Lenten Calendar, a quote from St. Therese, a page for the daily prayer, and the Chaplet of Divine Mercy Prayer. The prayer page has a prayer I took from Bringing Lent Home. I will say the daily prayer in the morning with the kids.  On the right side, I printed the Sorrowful Mystery cards from the Happy Saints Rosary Ebook and the stations of the cross.

I made a crown of thorns using a small grapevine wreath and tooth picks to help encourage the kids to do more sacrifices during Lent. There is a small mason jar for the kids to place their tooth picks in. I printed the sacrifice label from Catholic Icing.

We are also reading Bringing Lent Home with St. Therese of Lisieux by Donna-Marie Cooper O’Boyle. This is a perfect book for our family because it offers short daily reflections that is doable for us. We read from the book in the evening after dinner so Daddy can be us. Afterwards we pray one decade from the sorrowful mysteries. My children do NOT have the attention span for much more than that.41lbm5D2MBL

HOMEMAKER - What do you think of when you hear tha HOMEMAKER - What do you think of when you hear that word? It seems like this term has become almost a bad word to describe women. A word of oppression, anti-feminism, an undignified thing for a woman to identify as. Well, I AM A HOMEMAKER. God has called me to the vocation as a wife and mother. It is in our home that I will teach my children about God, our faith, virtue, order, and holiness. My work in the home is me saying “Yes, I will serve and love You by serving and loving my family today” and that is empowering. Being a homemaker is a blessing.

Pax Leviticus was baptized yesterday, February 13th 2021. 
I was so nervous that it might have been canceled due to the weather but thanks be to God that we were able to still have it done.

I am so excited for @blessedisshe__ ‘s Set A Fir I am so excited for @blessedisshe__ ‘s Set A Fire Lenten devotional this year! I even got the Set A Fire Kids. I am super stocked about these books and just had to share. 

Since I am in the postpartum season of motherhood and I am still trying to get back on track with our daily routine I am not planning a whole lot this Lent.

I can post soon in more detail about what we will be doing (maybe in stories🤔) if you’re interested.

Now that we are a little over half way through the Now that we are a little over half way through the school year and baby Pax is here, I recently did a homeschool pulse check. Sometimes I get an overwhelming feeling of “We’re behind!!” or “I’m failing because we barely get to X,Y,Z). Reminding myself of all the things we have done help me realize how much we have accomplished. This year has not been perfect but what is.

We just added this table since we’ve been doing a lot of our studies in the living room. So far it’s been nice to be able to comfortably do any schoolwork that requires writing and/ or workbooks.

I have been feeling more motivated and full of ene I have been feeling more motivated and full of energy since having Pax. Yesterday was my 31st birthday and instead of making New Year resolutions, I guess you can say I'm making birthday resolutions. I have a ton of projects planned for the home, we're finally getting back to a full schedule in our homeschool, and I am trying to be better organized.

Last month, I made these monthly calendar pages for 2021 that include holidays, holy days of obligations, and Marian feast days that I keep up in my kitchen. I am not the best at keeping track of important dates but this calendar will definitely be a huge help. For those interested, my 2021 calendar pages are listed on my Etsy shop and since it's my birthday month, everything is 31% off with the code YAY31

Has anyone made new years resolutions this year? What about birthday resolutions?

Roman is TWO years old today! It seems like yeste Roman is TWO years old today! 
It seems like yesterday that he was only the size of Pax. Now he is this rambunctious little boy. We love him so much and can’t wait to see how he grows this year (maybe not so much the tantrums😜). 

Saint Titus pray for us 🖤
