As usual, we started off with reading the Along the Alphabet Path story and oral narration. I use a plain notebook that I keep all their oral narrations in. After reading the Alphabet Path story, we listened to the Alphabet Fairy music while the kids painted their Double Daisy picture. You can get the Flower Fairies Alphabet coloring book on Amazon or you may have some luck googling it. I highly recommend printing on cardstock if you plan on painting them. We also learned a couple facts using my flower facts card about the daisy flowers. 

 

The saint featured this week is Saint Dominic! We said a prayer to Saint Dominic and kept his prayer card out so we could see it throughout the week. We used this coloring page for the week. The kids liked how this coloring page had a dog in it. I also remembered for the girls to do their copywork from the Alphabet Book of Catholic Saints… woo-hoo!

We are HUGE fans of Tomie DePaola! How could you not pick him for letter D! For those interested in doing an author study can read a biography of Tomie DePaola on his website HERE. Also Youtube videos of him reading aloud some of his books!


Genevieve and Kateri decided to draw a scene from Tomie dePaola’s book Angels, Angels Everywhere.

Doing our Alphabet Path studies is now feeling routine. I’m so glad I finally remembered to add their copywork assignment. I honestly can’t believe I forgot! Next week… Letter E.

P.S. in case you didn’t notice, we painted our dining room walls! No more ugly wallpaper and green paint.

3 years ago today, I received the devastating news 3 years ago today, I received the devastating news that we lost our baby at my 9-week prenatal appointment. I remember the doctor being so nonchalant about it and me feeling so confused and in such disbelief. The whole process of the miscarriage was completely frustrating. I was angry at my body because it wasn't doing anything. I remember a couple of weeks later as I was waiting to be taken back for a d&c being in such despair that I would officially be no longer pregnant.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Time does truly heal. The hurt isn't as bad. Although I still think about the what-ifs occasionally, it's no longer accompanied by pain. I almost feel bad that it doesn't hurt anymore but that is part of the healing I guess. I hope to meet my little Francis (the name we decided to give him/her) one day in heaven. Until then I am blessed to have my own little saint that is apart of me to pray for me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

It’s so amazing all the little things we mothers It’s so amazing all the little things we mothers become experts in. Sometimes these things may seem totally trivial or random but it’s proof of a mother’s love and homemaker’s heart. 
Example: how mothers become experts in all the food preferences of the many different people in her home. And not only that but also knows how to provide/ prepare food for all those different preferences. I know (too well) that doing this can be annoying at times but it’s actually really amazing if you think about it. No one knows how to feed your family like you do.

It’s Friday, therefore menu planning day. I would love some inspiration so what’s on your menu coming up for the week or are you not quite ready to think that far ahead yet?

Confession heals, confession justifies, confession Confession heals, confession justifies, confession grants pardon of sin, all hope consists in confession; in confession there is a chance for mercy.
--St. Isidore of Seville
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have always had a special devotion to confession. I didn't realize this until I was an adult. Confession is actually one of my favorite sacraments (not that I could really choose a favorite since they are all amazing). Even in my teen/ early adult years when I wasn't living a faithful life I always felt called to confession and always found it so comforting. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My mother's influence taught me confession is a beautiful thing. It's not this embarrassing, scary, weird thing that society (and even some Catholics I know) make it to be. It's not just about our sins and failures but about the graces, love, mercy, healing, and strength we get from the Holy Spirit. My goal as a mother is to instill a love and devotion to the sacrament of reconciliation in my children. This is what inspired me to create a Confession Guide for Kids.

Seven kids = A LOT OF LAUNDRY. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Laundry is one of those menial tasks that I am always doing. It can definitely feel daunting, especially when I have let it go too long. But you know what, when you look at that mountain of clothes with gratitude instead of frustration, it lightens the load (see what I did there). A lot of these clothes are hand-me-downs. I am thankful for the memories I have of multiple kids going through the same pajamas. Through washing and folding these clothes, I am for the kids they clothe. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The Pikachu pajama use to be my oldest and has been handed down through four kids! They’re now Ignatius’ (the fifth)! I use to get annoyed by how often I washed this but now it actually makes me happy knowing that all the kids have worn it. They get so excited when they are big enough to wear it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
