Celebrating Catholic Traditions

Our family observes Catholic holidays and traditions as part of our faith. While some of our milestones are specific to Catholicism like First Communion and Baptism, many of the ideas I share here will help inspire you as you raise children in Christian faith no matter which denomination you feel at home in.

From tips on meatless recipes for Friday in Lent that your kids will actually eat, to finding the perfect First Communion gift idea for girls and boys, to filling an Advent calendar with something other than candy, I hope you'll enjoy these tips for the modern Catholic family.
