A Little About Me

My Photo
Jessica
My name is Jessica. I am a Roman Catholic Wife and Home-Educating Mother to our 7 children, plus 2 in heaven. I was Home Educated myself, along with my 11 younger siblings. I have a special devotion to St. Therese, through whom I have been given much help and many blessings--the beautiful Shower of Roses that she has sent my way! Here I will share a few of the blessings I treasure, as well as other thoughts about home educating, mothering and just life in general! Please remember that what you see here is just a little glimpse at our lives, so please say a prayer for us, as we continue to strive for holiness.

God Bless My Visitors

Prayer of Mothers

Father in heaven, grant me the grace to appreciate the dignity which you have conferred on me. Let me realize that not even the Angels have been blessed with such a privilege—to share in your creative miracle and bring new Saints to heaven. Make me a good mother to all my children after the example of Mary, the Mother of your Son. Through the intercession of Jesus and Mary I ask your continued blessings on my family. Let us all be dedicated to your service on earth and attain the eternal happiness of your kingdom in heaven. Amen.
