A NEW PODCAST!
After passing through the fears of childhood, experience teaches us that many fears are groundless. And we protect ourselves against unreasonable fears. Yet oftentimes the environment and our imagination lead us to see dangers where there are really none. Or they may magnify our fears a hundredfold….
Today I would like to offer you a Giveaway!
The winner will receive these lovely items!
My New Easter/Springtime Book ~ Anna’s Blossoms of Joy
Anna is excited! Springtime has arrived and Easter is coming soon! Set in poetic rhyme and beautifully hand-illustrated, your children will love the pictures as we see Anna walk through the pages looking at all the new life on her family’s farm. She is looking forward to a “special something” in her barn! Her Catholic Faith shines forth in the book and is a part of her everyday life.


You will also get this lovely, lacy veil/scarf!

“You will keep a watchful eye on their steps; you will not suffer the whiteness of their souls to be stained and contaminated by corrupt and corrupting company; you will inspire them with a high esteem and jealous love for purity, advising them to commend themselves to the motherly protection of the Immaculate Virgin. Finally, with the discretion of a mother and a teacher and thanks to the open-hearted confidence with which you have been able to inspire your children, you will not fail to watch for and to discern the moment in which certain unspoken questions have occurred to their minds and are troubling their senses. It will then be your duty to your daughters.” -Pope Pius XII

Package Special! Catholic Mother Goose Volumes 1 & 2! Lighthearted Poems to Inspire Your Children! Available here.
When my children were young I loved to read to them stories, poems and nursery rhymes! They knew those rhymes inside and out and it was such a happy pastime! I did yearn, at times, for little ditties that had more meaning…….So I decided to write a book myself for the generation after me….especially thinking of my grandchildren, but for all Catholic children everywhere!
REVIEWS: “The volumes are so thick and worth the price! Both the black and white volume with its intricate pencil illustrations, and the volume with its bright wall-to-wall colors, have equal appeal each in their own way. It is a sturdy paperback, and will last in a house full of kids. Shipped quickly.”
“These books have been such a blessing to our family! The little poems and nursery rhymes are so much fun but yet have so much depth to them. They cover so many aspects of the faith; saints, the Sacraments, the commandments, virtues, and more. My daughter is always asking for me to read them to her. We are actually using them on a daily basis with the hopes to learn many of them by heart. These are a wonderful tool to have in the home to teach the faith to little ones! Highly recommend!”
“I love all the material from this shop and these books are no exception! I’m so glad that I chose these as Easter presents for the young ones in my life.”



With his facile pen and from the wealth of his nation-wide experience, the well-known author treats anything and everything that might be included under the heading of home education: the pre-marriage training of prospective parents, the problems of the pre-school days down through the years of adolescence. No topic is neglected. “What is most praiseworthy is Fr. Lord’s insistence throughout that no educational agency can supplant the work that must be done by parents.” – Felix M. Kirsch, O.F.M.
Necessary advice to Catholic parents building a Catholic home. Reliable advice that is almost completely lost today, from people who know how it’s done. How to make it. How to live it. How to keep it. This book covers every aspect of Catholicizing your home–from spiritual matters like prayer and catechism to nuts and bolts topics like Keeping the Family Budget, Games and Toys, Harmony between School and Home, Family Prayers, Good Reading in the Home, Necessity of Home Life and much more…

I always enjoy your posts. I start my day by reading them.
I would love to have my name put in the hat! I do have a question about one of the book recommendations you have on this post. It’s the 2nd one, after the one by Fr. Lord. The link doesn’t go to a book and I can’t see what the book is called. Could you post the title of the book, please? I love your blog and I’ve been reading it for years 🙂 There’s always something uplifting and inspiring on long days and difficult seasons (and anytime for that matter!)
Hi Leah, Sorry I am late on this. It is called Some Notes for the Guidance of Parents. https://amzn.to/3Typ1nU
