Hi Melissa! I love your projects, and used your Stations of the Cross printable as part of another project. Gave you tons of credit (and link-backs) for your amazing drawings - they work great (shrunk down) into magnets! http://enterundermyroof.blogspot.com/2013/02/activity-stations-of-cross-magnets.html

Homegrown Catholics - Our homeschooling experience

Raising our children at home 24/7 is quite the vocation. It requires inner strength, or as we call it "God's Grace." Each child is taken as a seedling, planted and nurtured right here in our home garden, watered with God's graces. One day God can harvest the fruit and let it sweeten the lives of others.

As a child, I wore a mustard seed with a bible verse [Mark 30-32]around my neck. I pondered the fragility and potential of that little seed. What amazing potential did I have, and now what of the potential of our children!? In high school, my favorite quote was: "When you take the time to do the things you have to do when you have to do them; the time will come when you can do the things you want to do when you want to do them!" - Zig Zigler

So we're taking the time to enrich our childrens' lives, so that they can someday be sent into the world not just as educated citizens - but more so messengers of God. It often takes all my energy and will power to get out of bed each day and have everyone at home depending upon me to entertain with lessons and activities. But I know the end result will be our confidence in knowing we did everything we could to give our children the best Catholic Education WE could provide.

I don't know that I'll ever retire from being a teacher to my family, and I don't want to wait until my husband retires and our children are all grown before we really live our life. Homeschooling allows us to live now, love better now, and give praise and thanks to God now for all that we currently enjoy.

Homegrown Catholics blog is a place for us to share this journey with you. Let it be a resource of renewal and inspiration!

God Bless,
Melissa & Tom
and our growing family
