Life Between Loads of Laundry
We feel very strongly about having big, special First Communion parties because we think that it is just one way that we show our kids that we think it’s one of the biggest, most special days of their lives. While we’ve done a variety of things as far as invitations have gone over the years, it was a decision that came up each time. I recently got to check out the invitation offerings from Communion Cards, as well as some {Read More}
This week, I did something that made me shiver as I anticipated the horror that would await me as a result of my actions. I’m the kind of gal that completely rinses off all of my dishes before putting them into the dishwasher. It was how I learned to use the dishwasher, and that’s just what I always do. But, not one day this week, my friends. You see, I was contacted by Finish to take the Finish Rise and {Read More}
—– I must admit right now, that I never thought of humor as a surprise talent of mine. With years of making people laugh and having friends say things like, “You have to get Angie to tell you that story” or the like, I just thought that it was general knowledge that one of my favorite things is to be able to make people laugh. Something has become painfully obvious for me, however. It doesn’t come across quite the same {Read More}
Last year, I was very pleased to be able to share with you about the wonderful Adaptive First Eucharist Kit from Loyola Press. Not only do I love the excitement of First Communion, but being the Mom of a child with Asperger’s Syndrome, I can understand the worries that come with having your child special needs working on these important sacraments. Going perfectly hand-in-hand with the Adaptive First Eucharist Kit is a new Adaptive Reconciliation Kit. (Reconciliation is the Sacrament {Read More}
Since the regular version of Scattergories has long been a favorite game of mine, I was thrilled to get a chance to try out the Scattergories Bible version recently thanks to Discount Catholic Products. While I wasn’t exactly sure what the kids would think of the game, they were up for giving it a try and I was ready to coach them and snap some pictures. Well, I’ll be completely honest, because I know that’s what you would expect from {Read More}
I didn’t realize how long it had been since I watched programming for small children until I was able to recently review the video Learn to Count from ABCatholic. How in the world did all of my children get to all be such big kids? Learn to Count is touted on the front of its case as “First Numbers, Counting, Mathematics, Words, and Catholic Concepts.” After watching through the video, I will definitely agree that it meets all of those {Read More}
I have to admit that as an Etsy seller, I kind of stink when it comes to packaging. I’ve received packages when I’ve ordered on Etsy that are wrapped like gifts, for goodness sakes. Some sellers go all out. And, recently, I got to be treated to another seller with beautiful packaging. When I received my package that I was waiting for from Graceful Leigh, in order to review for the blog, I thought I would just pop open the {Read More}
We were recently lucky enough to get to try two games, Funky Barn 3D and Horses 3D, from Ubisoft for the Nintendo 3DS system. Not only were my kids thrilled to get to try them (and keep them) for free, but both were games that they had previously heard about and wanted to try. (Actually, I believe the response was, “YES!” when I told them that were would be receiving them.) I let all of my kids try out the {Read More}

I am so excited about having received a copy of That Works for Me to review! Well, hang on — actually, at first, I was more like, “Oh, well this will be nice.” But, after I got the book, loaded it on my iPad, and started reading it, I was so psyched. It is really fabulous. The ebook was compiled by Kristen Welch and Jennifer De Groot from years worth of Works for Me Wednesday carnival link ups. I cannot {Read More}
