I just want to ...Kate, this was such a lovely post. I just want to say, as the wife of a recent convert, that you shouldn't worry or feel stressed out if you can't remember or celebrate all the feast days in the calendar. I mean, there are a LOT of them. I grew up in a very devout Catholic family, and as an adult, I am kind of dumbstruck at the lengths other families go to in celebrating all these different little feasts. My parents made a big deal for Christmas and Easter, we did the Advent wreath, and we got cake and sometimes a small gift on each of our individual saint's days (because we're Hispanic so saint's days are a big deal). That's it, beyond going to Mass on Holy Days of Obligation. It's kind of like this article says: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/kristen-howerton/can-we-bring-the-holidays_b_2903040.html. You don't need to do a huge song and dance for every feast day. Pick the ones that are important to YOU and YOUR family, celebrate those, and let the others pass you by without worrying about them.<br /><br />Also, on a side note, I forgot it was the feast of the Annunciation until I went on Facebook that day. Whoops. :pTesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07797493386545660391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6390264642352778243.post-60987255092683249382014-04-01T10:02:15.400-07:002014-04-01T10:02:15.400-07:00Those are gorgeous!Those are gorgeous!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6390264642352778243.post-65911320957003636412014-03-31T12:08:32.002-07:002014-03-31T12:08:32.002-07:00I looked at several tutorials on line, but here wa...I looked at several tutorials on line, but here was the most helpful: <br /><br />http://whollykao.com/2011/12/30/the-photo-to-wood-transfer/<br /><br />I've done enough of them now that I'm thinking I might put together my own tutorial, so stay tuned, and I'll try to get one up with my tips and snazzy tricks in a few weeks!Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05936087432274701385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6390264642352778243.post-34810613730802596462014-03-31T08:58:02.644-07:002014-03-31T08:58:02.644-07:00May I ask how you made that wooden Angelus paintin...May I ask how you made that wooden Angelus painting?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00611100377844590091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6390264642352778243.post-14567778483587000402014-03-27T06:36:08.390-07:002014-03-27T06:36:08.390-07:00p.p.s.

However, there is SO much I don't know or was taught improperly. I'm 45 and my sister is 54 and we are always talking about these things. "What?! You mean we are supposed to either give up meat OR make some other sort of sacrifice on EVERY Friday of the year," or "Sundays aren't actually technically days of lent." Actually, it's really hard when you learned it all wrong and have to relearn it. I home school my children and my kids surpassed me years ago in what they know about the Faith. Seriously, I have to ask them questions about it all. (Well, the older ones at least.)

I'd love to read your journey there since so many of the Catholic bloggers I've read were born into it.

I scrambled to figure a way to celebrate it with my girls, and then I realized we are talking about the letter "Y" in our homeschool right now, so we just focused on "Yes" too.
