Need a 2011 Planner?

Need a planner? Looking to get organized? Family-centered Press (Catholic) has their 2011 Planners on sale!!! Look how lovely the covers are:

Their normal price is $25 and they are on sale right now for less than half the price at $12!! I just ordered two (one to share)...if you need a planner or aren't happy with the one you got (like me), this is a great deal!

Enjoy! (no I did not or do not receive anything for sharing this, lol)

Liturgical Activities for Children: Lent

It's hard to believe that Lent is basically at our door!  Just like Advent, it's time to get our ducks in a row and plan the 40 days out for our family and homeschools.  Seems like everyone has been busy looking for Lent activities these past few weeks as it has become the most popular post here on Raising (& Teaching) Little Saints!  If you missed it, here is last year's post on Lent Activities for Children.

In addition, I found some new ideas from other Catholic Blogging Mamas that you might be interested in:

• Mama Kimberly at Catholic Family Vinettes has a great share with pocket-sized Stations of the Cross.
• Mama Karen at Karen Edmisten shares a list of ideas on Making Lent Meaningful
• Over at Catholic Culture, there is a list of Lent activities and ideas, hop on over and take a look.
• Over at Domestic Church, they have a list of links that you might be interested in with tons of ideas.
• Mama Lisa over at CatholicMom.com has a nice list of ideas as well.
• Mama Laura at Four Little Monkeys has a cool homemade Crown of Thorns Lenten wreath.
• Of course, DO NOT pass up joining Holy Heroes and their Lenten Adventure!

If you have a post on your blog and would like to share it, please leave a message here!  I'd love to do an updated post with more ideas from our readers.

Blessings to you all,

Be a Man: Father Larry Richards

My beloved and our great friend went to a Men's Conference yesterday with our Bishop. They had an amazing day (the Bishop was with them most of the day)....it consisted of talks, Confession, eating, and sharing....the speaker that stood out the most was Father Larry Richards. He was able to find a video of a conference he did in Boston and we wanted to share it with our RLS readers:
