Behold Paschal Playdoh Productions!

Commenting on the latest Lego Gospel, reader Patricia mentioned her kids do something similar in Play-Doh.

“Paschal Playdoh Productions,” she said.

“Show us,” I asked, and she graciously agreed.

The following shots come from the incredibly creative hands of Abraham & Abigail (with occasional help from Silas).

You’ll have to take my word for it how delightful their live action play doh gospel videos... READ MORE 


Hand Crafted Goodness

The joy of discovering creative efforts

Danielle’s awesome contest post today reminded me how much I enjoy visiting Etsy.  It also reminded me about a shop there called Saintly Silver, run by someone whose profile says they are “an independent Catholic artist designing quality gifts to comfort and remind one of their faith.” 

My friend and knitting teacher Cindy sent me the link to this delightful spot which is chock-a-block with adorable handmade saints. ... READ MORE 


Great Pick for Weekend Flick

Children of Heaven is a must-see DVD

When Children of Heaven arrived from Netflix last weekend, Dan read the description on the sleeve and ... declined.

Shoe-sharing Iranian children? Subtitles? No thanks, he said.

But I didn’t let that discourage me. I watched it all by myself one night and let me tell you ... Dan missed out.

This is such a beautifully made, touching film. The story is so very simple that I will not even comment on... READ MORE 


Creative Outlets

Do you have one?

I’m about to launch into writing a chapter on how we, as moms and Catholics, can nurture ourselves emotionally and spiritually through the creative gifts God has given us.

It’s kind of ironic to be writing this chapter in the midst of a time in my life when I am having to schedule a time for creativity. The truth of the matter is, I don’t consider myself to be an incredibly creative person.  I’m interested... READ MORE

‘LATE HAVE I LOVED YOU’

Autumn Prayers From St. Augustine (354-430), Doctor of the Church

Our Hearts are Restless

Man desires to praise you, for he is a part of your creation; he carries his mortality with him and carries the evidence of his sin and the pr­ ­ oof that you resist the proud. Still, he desires to praise you, this man who is only a particle of your creation. You have prompted him, that he should delight to praise you, for you have made us for yourself and our
