I love these stories and would have like to have had my hands on them when my kids were young. They teach the Faith in a strong yet unobtrusive way. The stories are simple….tales of regular life….Catholic life.
About the Book: It’s Brendan’s birthday and he is fighting pirates, steering ships and wielding swords! He learns of St. Brendan, the Navigator and the pious Christopher Columbus. Life is a nautical adventure for him! Will his daydreaming cause him trouble? What lessons does he learn?
There is a “peanut gallery” in this book….a turtle named Ollie and a seahorse named Sherman and other sea creatures that make their appearance now and again and have their own chats among themselves!
Your kids will enjoy it and it will be one of those “helps” along the way that sweetly instills Catholic culture in your children!
Take a peek here if you are interested in purchasing it.

The truly religious wife finds God at Mass and from Him receives the strength to become the ideal helpmate to her husband. She does not leave God at church but keeps Him with her every minute of the day in every nook and cranny of her home. Each menial, repetitious task she must perform is a work of love for her husband and children, and through them, a work of love for her Creator. – Fr. Raoul Plus, S.J. 1950’s

I really appreciate your blog posts and love the artwork and thoughtful quotes. I check in every day. The mantilla is beautiful!! I lost my black one awhile back and would give it much use. God bless you!
Beautiful rosary (necklace), as always.
I have a Spanish lace mantilla in white. And that is such a pretty shade of blue… 😉
Oops, bracelet, not necklace. I don’t know why I typed “necklace.” :-/
Leane, please feel free to correct my first comment and to delete this one, if you wish.
Thank you for always promoting the Catholic faith in everything you do and in such a beautiful way. I’m so glad to have found your blog!
Thank you for all your posts. They have encouraged me many times to grow in virtue and resist temptations.
Thank you as always for your wonderful blog. The bracelet is so beautiful, and so is the veil. If I won them, they would surely be given as a birthday gift to my lovely oldest daughter, who is turning 8 next week.
Love your site! An inspiration. God bless you.
Very pretty!
Thank you for the lovely articles on your Facebook page. It is very helpful and encouraging for single women like me to live the Catholic faith to the full. God bless!
I just found your site today but I love all your pictures and what a great little book about St. Brendan. If our next little one is a boy, that is the name we have picked out so I’ll have to keep that in mind these last couple months of pregnancy!
I absolutely love the mantilla and bracelet. Your new book looks so sweet. What a lovely gift, to write stories of faith and goodness. Love your blog, as always.
Thank you Leane for sharing your love of God with us every day. You touch more lives than you will ever know-you have certainly touched mine and I am eternally grateful! God bless you,Leane!!
You are a very sweet lady, Bonnie! God bless you and thank you for your encouraging words! They warm my heart! <3
Your blog is my favorite. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and inspiring all who read it!
As always, I enjoy reading your posts. Thank you for sharing the riches of our Faith, especially the works of such great priests from the past. I love sharing your blog and resources with others! Plus, the images and quotes you include with each post are such a treat. ♥
Can’t wait to “see” who gets to take home the beautiful veil and rosary! Thank you!
Gorgeous!! 😀
