One thing I have noticed about myself, is that I don’t intentionally pray for my children and my Godchildren as much as I should.
So, I sat down and wrote a few quick, but meaningful, prayers for both my children and Godchildren. I want to share these special prayers with you.

Mary continues to appear to us just as we are. Therefore, a Mary doll should look like the child who owns it. Our Lady of Guadalupe appeared as an Indigenous woman to Juan Diego. Our Lady of Aparecida appeared as a Black woman in Brazil. Our Lady of Fatima appeared as a Portuguese woman. Our Mary doll comes in three different skin tones – dark, medium, and light. Each child should see him or herself reflected in Mary’s face, our loving Mother to all.
Mary is crafted from calico cotton with a polyester filling. She has embroidered features and long, wool yarn hair. Each Mary doll is dressed in the same outfit – a removable beige dress and Marian blue veil.
Natalie the Nativity Angel is a Christian alternative to the mischievous elf popular this time of year. It’s a great way for kids learn to think of others and the true meaning of the season and prepare for the birth of Jesus.
Natalie (meaning “birthday” or “Christmas”) the Nativity Angel comes to visit during advent to help you prepare for the coming birth of Baby Jesus. Each night of advent hide Natalie in your home for your children to find next morning with a note with a Good Deed to do that day.

“God created everything for man,222 but man in turn was created to serve and love God and to offer all creation back to him”. Enjoying God’s creation is a wonderful way to grow in love and appreciation for Our Lord!

I can assure you, as a mother of 3 year old twins – and an 8 year old, that books are great gifts. And this year, especially! Our library is open by appointment only! And anyone with a child under 8 will tell you – we are sick of reading the same books to our little ones.
My children LOVE when I read to them. I hide books that get requested over and over again so that I can have a break haha!
In this lovely read-aloud for ages 3 to 5, children embark upon on a journey steeped in the magical wonder of the moon and its Creator. A young girl travels from the city to the country, describing phases and aspects of the moonlight with a heartfelt understanding of beauty. “God put it there for all to see, but especially because He loves me.” Jean Schoonover- Egolf’s watercolor illustrations delight on this journey of simple faith and family life.
And this brand new book about Temperance is fun and so colorful!
Wendy loves to shop. She shops and shops and shops till her wardrobe is about to POP! The funky fashionista has to face it: she has too much stuff.

With the help of her friends, she learns to temper her penchant for the posh with the spirit of charity. Penned in a fun, rollicking rhyme, this tale of temperance will have even the youngest of Wendy fans quoting stanzas from Wacky Wardrobe. Debut author Maria Shappert writes in a captivating language that is a delight to ears of all ages. All editions are packed-to-the-brim with bright, colorful, hand-crafted illustrations by Ohio artist Jean Schoonover-Egolf.

Prayer journaling is an incredible spiritual practice.
Often, when we start prayer journaling, we find ourself pouring our hearts out to God – but by the time we finish, we see God’s words to us on the page. Journaling can help us relieve stress and cope with internal struggles.
