Using a Kit to Make Your First Communion Banner

I’ve been a do-it-yourself kind of gal in the area of making First Communion Banners.  We just used the banner provided to us by our church and then decorated it ourselves with felt, puffy paints, and Tacky Glue.  (Our banners look very similar though, I have to admit.  First Communion banner from 2008 and First [...]

Homemade First Communion Themed Cakes

I really enjoy having parties to celebrate when my kids have made their First Holy Communion. To me, it’s an outward sign to them (from us, as parents) of how important we think this Sacrament is, and how proud we are.  I usually love to make all kinds of things to feed our guests, but [...]

7 Quick Takes: March 11, 2011 (Vol. 74)

~ 1 ~ We made it through our first Wednesday in Lent with no computers, video games, and TV.  I’m not going to say it was easy, but I’m glad we made it through it.  The kids had a good day playing with each other.  They normally play with each other throughout the day, but [...]

7 Quick Takes: February 4, 2011 (Vol. 69)

~ 1 ~ We had some crazy snow this week! It was not so crazy in the amount — only around 9 or 10 inches.  Sure, that is a lot, but it’s not like we’ve never had that (or more) before.  This time, however, the majority of it was a sleet/snow mix.  This stuff is [...]

7 Quick Takes: February 19, 2010 (Vol. 30)

~ 1 ~ The biggest event of the week around our house has been sickness.  Lots and lots of coughing and stuff noses.  Quite frankly, with three of the five of us on antibiotics, I’m getting really tired of it.   As I mused on Facebook the other night, “I think my lungs are trying [...]

More Than 40 First Communion Banner Examples

This will officially be my last First Communion posting of this season (well, as far as I know!). I had been meaning to post some more examples of First Communion banners, just as a way to help those that are looking for some inspiration. If you have found my blog because of First Communion banners, [...]

My Big Fat Catholic First Communion Party

We had such a busy week (last week) and weekend! Even though Jack made his First Communion last Sunday (April 26th), we had a party in his honor this past Sunday. Of course, this meant that last week was just one giant tackle! I finally got the house clean (though I did hire someone who [...]

7 Quick Takes – May 1st Edition (Vol. 2)

1. We are so pleased to announce that Jack made his First Holy Communion this past Sunday! He looked so grown up, and so proud! And, I suppose we probably looked pretty darn proud too. (We definitely felt that way.) ————————————- 2. And, speaking of Jack’s First Communion, we are gearing up for his party [...]

7 Quick Takes – April 17th

1. I decided to join in on Jen’s 7 Quick Takes! (Interesting factoid: Jen and I both were received into the Catholic Church on the same night!) 2. Finally, after weeks of putting it off, I got Jack’s First Communion invitations printed and sent out. Last year, I designed Noah’s on the computer and had [...]

How to Make a First Communion Banner

This is our second year in a row with a child who is preparing for the sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion. From my experience of listening to other parents at various meetings, it would seem that the biggest stressors for the parents when it comes to these important Sacraments seems to be [...]
