Saint Valentine's Day

Prayer to St Valentine

O glorious advocate and protector,
St Valentine,
look with pity upon our wants,
hear our requests,
attend to our prayers,
relieve by your intercession the miseries
under which we labour,
and obtain for us the divine blessing,
that we may be found worthy to join you
in praising the Almighty for all
eternity: through the merits of
Our Lord Jesus Christ.

Amen.

Our Saint Valentine's Day Tea

Valentine Treats

It’s time to plan out our Saint Valentine’s Tea for tomorrow. We spent the morning making a few yummy treats. We will be taking some treats over to our church for Father to enjoy after morning Mass. We found the ideas for the treats over at Showers of Roses- one of my favorite blogs with tons of Catholic charm. Now I am off to print up Saint Valentine coloring pages to be completed tomorrow, and then add them to our Saint notebooks.

Valentine Crafts

We have been very busy creating Valentine fun around our house. Here are photos of the kids busy making mailboxes for the Valentines that are coming in from homeschooled friends around the US.

Love Notes

I found this craft over at Shower of Roses and knew I had to make these hearts of love for Our Blessed Mother. All items were found at the dollar store. I cut out the center heart from one doily and used it for a template and glued the love notes to the red (white for Leonardo's) heart.

{this moment} - A Friday ritual. Photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. If you're inspired to do the same, visit Soulemama to leave a link to your 'moment' in the comments for all to find and see

Daybook-Super Bowl Sunday

I had hoped to get a post up way before this weekend hit, but life happened instead. So I will just post pictures of the wonderful Super Bowl party we had at home. 2/6/2011
