My kids just loved this fun and easy craft project. These lovely shells are decorated with an image of Jesus Baptism, the Holy Spirit, and silver glitter. They can be hung by the loop on the top.  My little girls made necklaces out of them. ;-)These are nice when learning about Jesus Baptism in January, the feast of John the Baptist (June 24), or the martyrdom on John the Baptist (Aug 29). You will need: Flat shells like scallops or clamshells ~  about 2 inches in size. Don’t have shells? There are also printable scallops in this file. Or you can buy a basket or bag-full of shells at a dollar store or craft store printable image of Jesus Baptism and the Holy Spirit (Below) silver glitter or silver glitter glue String, ribbon, raffia, or twine scissors glue stick hot glue Download the Images Here: Instructions: Print and cut out the Baptism and Holy Spirit images. Glue the Baptism image to the inside part of the shell and glue the dove above the baptism picture. Add glitter around the baptism image.  Hot glue a looped string, ribbon, or twine to the top of the shell. It’s that easy and it looks so lovely! You can use the printable paper scallops if you don’t have real shells  Another Idea: My 7 year old wanted to take this simple craft a step further, so we found two shells that could *kind of* fit together and added tape to the inside top of both so it would open, using the tape like a hinge. We glued the Baptism picture to the inside and the dove to the outside. Then we added the twine to the top.  God Bless, ~Jen-Marie

I have two kiddos receiving their First Penance and First Communion this year! (Plus one receiving her Confirmation! It’s a busy year!) My 4th and 5th born were blessed to receive First Confession this past Saturday! It was a wonderful time! While Joshua (age 9) acted like an old pro and just walked into the confessional without looking back, Elizabeth (age 8) needed a lot of sweet-talking and hugs to calm her fears. But she came skipping out of the confessional with a grin on her face that just beamed and stretched from one ear to the other!! So for a special treat, I made white cupcakes with white icing to symbolize their clean souls! I added a topper to each cupcake like this: I just taped a toothpick to the back and stuck one into each cupcake. Here is a printable PDF for the toppers for anyone who would like them. (Photo paper works well) Download Here: Or you could make stickers for those kids who have just gone a Reconciliation! Stickers for the kids who have received Reconciliation could be nice for any age! Teachers could give them to the kids who choose to go to confession in the time allowed during school! Perhaps he could add a bit of “advertising” to the other kids who choose not to go?!?! 😉 Okay just for fun I had to add this: We all had a good laugh when Elizabeth added the “Clean Soul” sticker to my new white shoes!  It was a fun wordplay; clean soul and clean sole ! 😀

This simple activity is for celebrating the Transfiguration of Jesus. This “sun-catcher” is meant to resemble the gleaming white light that Jesus had shown on the mountain during His transfiguration. To make this craft you will need: printable image printed on stock paper -See Below wax paper (slightly smaller in size than the printable image) crayons or colored pencils tape scissors Download the Craft Here: Instructions: Print the image of Jesus onto stock/heavy paper. Color the background behind Jesus. It can be as simple as rays of light to as detailed as a mountain scene with clouds. Now cut out the circle and the Jesus shape. Tape wax paper to the back so the light can shine through Jesus. Use string, tape or tack putty to hang it on a window or a light/lamp. Kids love shining a flashlight through it too!! Optional idea:  To make it “gift quality” or sturdy enough for younger children to play with, you could laminate it or put it in contact paper. Have Fun!!

This craft is a helpful reminder for kids to say the Morning Offering.

This project can be as fancy or as simple as you like. Download the Craft and Instructions Here: May you have peace on your mind and in your heart as you offer all your daily actions to Jesus!  God Bless. ~Jen-Marie

This printable book is a wonderful way to reinforce the virtue of “Love of Neighbor” to children. It is a short story and is illustrated with silhouette pictures. I’ve also added a few ideas for the kids to do to help others, as well as, a fun and simple art project. This book would also be perfect for “Little Flower” members when doing the virtue of “Love of Neighbor” St. Jane Frances de Chantal’s Feast day is Aug 12. (It was moved from Dec. 12) Download the Book Here Fun Art Ideas: After reading this printable book to your children/class, you may like to do these art projects: Draw a silhouette of yourself helping someone or entering Heaven’s shining light. Or Make a book of your own about a saint and illustrate it with silhouettes. Note: A silhouette is kinda like a person’s shadow. When drawing a silhouette draw just the outside edges of the person and fill it in with a dark gray/black color. You can also use black paper to cut out a silhouette. You can learn a lot about a person by just seeing their silhouette. Another fun idea: If you are doing this with a large group, secretly draw a silhouette of each child’s head. Have the child sit on a chair, using a bright light, cast their shadow onto a wall, and tape a large sheet of paper on the wall with the shadow. Then trace the shadow onto the paper. Have the group try to guess whose picture is whose by looking at the silhouettes. If you wish, the children can use the head silhouettes to draw a picture of them helping someone. They could also use it to write down a few ways they have helped or want to others.

One of the things our family is doing this year for Lent is to pray for a person or group of people each day. Together we created the list and wrote the list down on a calendar so we could remember who we were praying for each day during Mass and/or our daily rosary.  I used a pattern that I created to allow the kids to create images of the people they want to pray for.  This was a great activity to keep them busy while I was teaching the bigger kids their school lessons! The kids had a lot of fun being creative when making the different people!  They created all sorts of people from our prayer list including a firefighter, policeman, doctor, pregnant woman, farmer, a person who is sad and one who is poor, as well as a priest, the pope, and lots of other interesting people.  I think I have “The Village People” hanging in my kitchen!! The kids had so much fun creating these and it really helps the younger kids to remember who we are praying for! If you want to create a prayer chain of people here are my patterns for the people: The People Patterns which are  available  include: Simple people patterns: Dress or Robe (no face) Dress or Robe (with face) Pants (no face) Pants (with face) Prefer smaller people? Mini Set – with faces Mini Set – without faces Other Patterns: Bishop Pope Angels (with faces) Angels (without faces) Download the Little People Patterns Here: Enjoy and God Bless! ~Jen-Marie

Since kids need a constant reminder of what Easter is truly about I like to give them a reminder each time they find one of those fun plastic Easter Eggs!  I place a little picture of our Resurrected Jesus in each plastic egg. Here is a printable sheet that includes 12 of these images. One is colored the other is black and white. Pick the one that suits your situation better… These sets are free to download below! Or  Choose a simpler download that’s easier on ink usage and easier to cut. It works well for those who plan to stuff a lot of eggs. There are 24 on a page. Download the egg stuffers here: Choose one of the 3 downloads or use them all so the pictures inside the eggs will be a new surprise! Extra idea: Print them onto sticker paper so the kids can have them as stickers. Cupcake Toppers!! The colored images would also make great cupcake toppers! Just tape the top half of a toothpick to each and stick them into the top of a cupcake! ( I don’t have a picture of them in cupcakes since we didn’t make ours yet -It’s still Lent!) We also used them to decorate our “Feast Day Tree”! Be creative! They are very versatile! Praying you all to have a blessed Holy Week and a wonderful Easter! ~Jen-Marie

Here is a craft that I thought up and did with my younger kids as a quick fun afternoon project. It’s a fun craft to explain the Easter Triduum. The plate spins to reveal the days of the Triduum until Easter. It also has the Bible verse from John 2:19, where Jesus spoke of his Resurrection, pasted on it. “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” (John 2:19) You will need: 2 paper plates the printable PDF page – Free Download below!! a paper fastener (looks like a nail with two points) crayons scissors glue Download here: Print and color the free printable above. Cut off a 1/4 of a plate. Round the point so you have a spot to make a center hole. Punch a small hole in the center of both plates. Make sure the plates are centered on top of each other and make sure your hole as close to the center as you can get it! Fasten the two plates together with the fastener. Cut out and glue the different parts of the PDF page onto the plate. Have the kids glue on the Bible verse above the opening in the top paper plate. Now starting with Holy Thursday add the Triduum days. Try to keep them close to the bottom of the paper plate. Spin the plate, when you cover the one you just glued, glue on the next one.  Now let the kids decorate the plate! And you’re done!! Hoping you all have a wonderful Triduum and Easter!~Jen-Marie

Every house I’ve ever lived in (5 of them) was blessed to have a dogwood tree in the yard! So I’ve had a love of dogwoods even when I was very young. As a teen, I heard the legend of the dogwood and I just loved the story. No, I don’t think it’s true, but the imagery and symbolism of the cross and the dogwood blossoms are so beautiful! So, for the last week and a half, I’ve been slowly working on the artwork to create the printable cards and the dogwood craft patterns which are in this post… If you don’t know the Legend of the Dogwood here it is: The Legend of the Dogwood At the time of the crucifixion, the dogwood had reached the size of the mighty oak tree. So strong and firm was the wood that it was chosen as the timber for Jesus’ cross.      To be used for such a cruel purpose greatly distressed the dogwood. While nailed upon it, Jesus sensed this, and in his compassion said. “Because of your pity for my suffering, never again shall the dogwood tree grow large enough to be used for a cross. Henceforth, it shall be slender, bent, and twisted, and its blossoms shall be in the form of a cross–two long and two short petals.      To be used for such a cruel purpose greatly distressed the dogwood. While nailed upon it, Jesus sensed this, and in his compassion said. “Because of your pity for my suffering, never again shall the dogwood tree grow large enough to be used for a cross. Henceforth, it shall be slender, bent, and twisted, and its blossoms shall be in the form of a cross–two long and two short petals.      “In the center of the outer edge of each petal will be the print of nails. In the center of the flower, stained with blood, will be a crown of thorns so that all who see it will remember.” from “Sower’s Seeds Aplenty: Fourth Planting,”  # 29, p. 22 A little more information on the dogwood and its blossoms: The trees look like clouds all covered with flowers in the spring!  Dogwood flowers have a few different colors.  They can be White (purity) or pink (blood-stained). The white flower centers are green to start and then become more yellow as the mini flowers open. When the flower starts to die the center turns brown.  The pink flower centers are often brown. In the fall, the centers (crown of thorns) swell and turn into berries, which birds eat.  Neat isn’t it!! (I’m also a science nut!) Dogwood fruit A Dogwood Craft I created a pattern for my kids to make their own dogwood flowers. They are very simple to make! To make this you will need: the pattern Choose: {large} or {4 small}  crayons tape or glue scissors Print the pattern (there is one large or 4 small on a page) (stock paper works best) Download the dogwood craft Images here: Color the flower and the leaves. Add red and brown to the flower’s notched tip -“nail prints” Color the center yellow and/or brown Color the leaves green Color the petals pink or leave them white. Cut out the flower and the three leaves Tape the leaves to the bottom of the flower so they are shown through the petals of the flower. Curl the pedals up beside the “nail prints” and at the center. For a little extra fun,  you can add a pipe cleaner center to resemble the “crown of thorns”. You can add these flowers to  almost anything to decorate it! You can cut out two strips of brown paper to make a cross and add a paper dogwood flower. I added them to my Lenten/Easter cross… And  to a wreath (along with my legend print and a bow)… Glue craft sticks to the back to make the legend card stay straight. This must be hung in a dry spot (unless you laminate them). Prints and Cards of the Legend of the Dogwood You can also print out the legend story to go with your flowers.  Folded Gift Card This folded card and a handmade flower would be nice for any occasion including mother’s/grandmother’s day, a thinking of you surprise, an Easter card, etc. (Print onto stock paper) Legend Prints Nice for decorating or for framing Simple Legend Printables Nice for a class or large group 4 on a page I found so many ways to use these paper dogwood blossoms and legend cards! I enjoyed drawing these flowers and cards. My kids enjoyed coloring and creating the crafts. I hope you enjoy them, too!! God Bless. ~Jen-Marie

“When He said this, as they were looking on, He was lifted up, and a cloud took Him from their sight.” (Acts 1:9) This Bible verse was the inspiration for this craft:  My kids found this craft to be so neat and fun!! It was a hit! You will need: fiberfill (a large handful or two) fold-and-close sandwich bag picture of Jesus ascending  (free download below) stapler/staples hot glue scissors string twist-tie light – LED tea light, mini LED flash light, a glow-stick or other small (non-hot) light Download instructions and image here: First, spread out the cotton.  Open the sandwich bag and start stapling the cotton onto the bag.  Staple cotton all around the bag.  You should cover the entire bag with cotton, fluffing the cotton along the way. Be sure the bag still has a pocket and an ability to tie the top.  Add your light.  Use the twist-tie to close the top.  (Be sure to keep this accessible so you can turn the light on and off) Cut out the Jesus image from the download above. Add hot glue to the back. Stick it onto the cloud/cotton. Use the twist-tie as a hook to attach the string to hang it up.  This is the completed project.  In a dimly lit room: In a dark room: They were so much fun! Hope you enjoy them! God Bless. ~Jen-Marie

I realize this is a bit late for Corpus Christi, (I’ve been keeping busy.) But it’s not too late to teach kids the awesome mystery of the Most Holy Eucharist! This is a simple art project to help kids practice painting straight lines. Practice makes perfect and even young kids can learn to paint straight lines, with a little practice! But the best part of this simple art project is that it’s a great reminder that Jesus is truly present in the Host at church during Mass. You will need: Stock paper or construction paper or canvas paper(color of your choice – We used black and white) paint: – white and yellow on black paper-yellow and red on white paper paintbrush paper plate or cups for holding paint Host printable – Available below (includes printable instructions) glue newspaper to cover the work area brown paint or brown paper for “Cross Version” (optional) Download Instructions and Host Image here: First, add a quarter-size “glop” (that’s art talk for large drop) of paint to the middle of your paper. Leave enough room for the rays and area for the monstrance base. Now work the paint out in straight lines. Start at the center and go straight out from the center. Do this all the way around. ALWAYS start in the center and go straight out away from the center. This is the straight-line practice. My kids made a chant, “Middle, go straight out…Middle, go straight out…Middle, go straight out.” It worked well for them! I held my 5-year-old’s hand and directed her paintbrush the first few strokes. Then she was able to do the painting on her own. Now add a second color to the middle and do the same as the first. You might want to do another drop of the first color again and the second color again – depending on how much the children fills in the area. Add the stem and base to the monstrance. The stem goes straight down and the base goes straight across. The children can make the base curved (if they have the ability). Now have the children cut out a host circle. After the paint is dry the children can add the host circle to the center of the rays! Cross Version: You may prefer to simply make the rays and add a cross. Add the cross with brown paint or glue down two strips of brown paper (as pictured). There you have it! I hope you enjoy!

Jon and I have slowly been working on a post together… Life never seems to slow down for long, things always pop-up so our blogging together is not going to be as frequent as we had hoped. But our blog is here and we will post together whenever we can. In the meantime, I thought some of our homeschooling followers might like to see my daily school log. Here in Pennsylvania, we are required to have the full 180 days logged. My evaluator liked this daily log that I made up and it’s been working very well here at our house! It’s Catholic Inspired, complete with a few religious images! I have added a “total number of days” page at the end for my high-schooler. So she can total up her days to receive her diploma credits! (It’s our first year homeschooling a high-schooler. ~ with an accredited diploma program.) The log works well since I can have the kids check off when they have completed a subject. So I don’t have to remember!! Now, don’t freak if you see the list of subjects across the top. We don’t do them all every day! We have specific days we learn the non-core subjects. Check List Style - Download Here: Empty Block Style - Download Here: Filled Block Style - Download Here: It’s free for you to use! You are welcome to use this if you like. Or just use it as inspiration for your own! I also made another page for the kids to make a list of the library books they read. That’s one long list by the end of the school year! I hope you are all having a wonderful school year! May God bless it with the joy of learning! ~Jen-Marie

Today (Sept 27) is our 15th wedding Anniversary and this is our first post together on our joint blog!! As unplanned as this was, I found it to be 100% appropriate! What’s even more interesting is our first post is about love and marriage! Anabelle from Written By the Finger of God asked me two weeks ago to do a guest post on our love story. I had to laugh since it was just before our 15th wedding Anniversary! I thought what could be better than to share our love story with all of you 15 years after one of the best days of my life!? So, to read our love story, please visit Anabelle at Written by the Finger of God . Jon and I both have written our own version of our love story! It was an amazing walk down memory lane as we wrote our stories! I hope you enjoy reading them! UPDATE: Anabelle closed her blog so I posted the stories here on my blog { CLICK HERE } Now onto our first joint post: Marriage and the Holy Trinity Did you know that marriage is a symbol of the Holy Trinity? I only learned this a few years ago! Take a look at what Jon has to say: The idea of marriage has gotten a lot of attention lately. People used to ask the question “should I or shouldn’t I?”. Now it’s a matter of: “What is a marriage? Why should it be called a union between a man and a woman only?” A long time ago in the book of Genesis, God first created marriage when he gave Eve to Adam. Thousands of years later, Christ revealed that God himself was actually more than we thought. He wasn’t just God, He was a Trinity, a union of three divine persons in one God. In God, there is a Father who is distinct from the Son but loves the Son and gives everything of himself to His Son. This Son accepts everything that his Father gives Him and gives back to his Father everything that he himself is. This total self giving of the Father to the Son and the Son back to the Father never stops. Since God is forever and doesn’t change, so too this giving doesn’t change. In fact, it’s so intense that it actually makes the Third person of the Trinity, the Holy Spirit. This truth about who God actually is why we understand what marriage is supposed to be: the giving of one selflessly to the other. Each receives everything that the other one is and gives back totally. In this sharing of each other, there is an openness where a third is welcome and can find life. Marriage is meant to be a reflection of the very nature of who God is. God has shared the truth of who He is and a man and woman embrace that truth when they embrace one another in a total self giving marriage. Any other union that seeks to twist and change what God has made is an attack on the very truth of who He is. Humanity has received from God this truth and the truth of what marriage is meant to be. The question is not what can we turn it into, but can we just embrace it for what it is? _______________________________________________ Isn’t that COOL!! 😉 Our kids who have a general understanding of the Holy Trinity thought this concept was neat! The rest just liked doing this fun art project…. For this craft you will need : the free printable sheets (available for free- Download below) colored pencils ribbon or string (about a yard for each craft) tape scissors hole punch Download the Craft Here: First color the two hearts (One for the Trinity and one for the married couple). Color as many babies as you like. I colored one baby for each of my living kids. Cut out the hearts and babies. Use a hole punch to make a hole at the area marked with dots (there are 6 dots). Use some smaller strips of ribbon/string to tie the two hearts together. The Trinity heart should be on top and the married couple under it. Tape about three strips of ribbon to the bottom of the married couple’s heart. Use tape to tape the babies to the hanging ribbons. Add a ribbon to the top of the trinity heart. Use this ribbon to hang your heart mobile. That’s it! These would be great when teaching about marriage, or the 7 sacraments. They would also be a great anniversary gift or decoration!! Hope it you enjoyed it!! God Bless. ~Jen-Marie and Jon

St. Joseph is one of my favorite saints!  If God picked him to be His foster-father he must have been an amazing man! I’m sure he worked tirelessly to care for Mary and Jesus! I imagine he often had sore arms and splinter filled hands while he lovingly worked to provide all he could for his family. That’s an inspiration to me! We are meant  to work hard for God. All our efforts in life should be for Him -just like St. Joseph! Often, kids have a hard time stopping from playtime to do chores, but chores are very important for kids to do. It helps them to learn responsibility and consequences. Chores can also teach children important life skills that will help them to care for themselves in the future.  If each child helps and does his or her tasks it will help to bring peace and order to the home and family life. This chore chart includes a praye r: Download the Chore Chart and Prayer Here: This chore chart has a section for writing the names of jobs/chores/responsibilities. Then there is a section to check off that the job was done properly. A completed chart can be an opportunity to reward the child with something special, like a treat, an allowance, a night out with Mom or Dad, a loving hug and kiss, or whatever your family feels is appropriate. This chart will work best if it is laminated.  You can write in the responsibilities before you laminate it or use a wet-erase marker to write them on after it’s laminated. (Using a wet erase marker will allow you to change the list occasionally.)  Use removable stickers or a wet-erase marker to check off when the chore is done. You can also add magnets to the back of the laminated chore chart to stick it to the fridge. If you can’t laminate: clear, smooth, shipping tape or contact paper is a fair substitute for laminating. **Don’t forget these crafts which you can make to help celebrate the Feast of St. Joseph: St. Joseph’s Flowering Staff and a Story St. Joseph’s Image on Wood ~ Craft St. Joseph, pray for us! God Bless! ~Jen-Marie

My kids just love those books! (Ya know, the ones were each page has a huge picture and a list of things to find in the picture!!) So when I was trying to think of things to keep a group of teens and older children busy I thought it would be a fun idea to have a “Catholic I Spy” for them to do! Download the I Spy Files here: A few of my older kids and I had a lot of fun making these “I Spy” scenes. It was interesting to see all the saint themed ideas that they could come-up with! I took the pictures, and my oldest daughter made the poems to go with each one (I helped a little.)  After we printed them out, I laminated them and they were ready to use. (You could put them into plastic sheet covers, too.) They are great for youth group gatherings, All Saints Day Parties, family reunions, car rides, waiting rooms, and any other time you want to keep teens and older kids occupied. (Adults like them, too!!) Have fun making your own or you can print out the ones we made. Never stop searching for Christ in your life! God Bless! ~Jen-Marie
