Liturgical Living in March 2019 (Lent and more!)

February 26, 2019 By Haley Leave a Comment

Books, Recipes, and Activities for Observing Lent and Liturgical Living in March!

I’m always trying to figure out how to make it easier for families to observe the Christian Year because we felt so overwhelmed when we first started that journey (which is why we wrote the book we wish we had then).  I thought it might be helpful for our family to have resources compiled for the month ahead so that we can plan in advance which special saints days we want to … [Read more...]

Let’s Celebrate the Canonization of St. Oscar Romero!

October 13, 2018 By Haley 4 Comments

Blessed Oscar Romero, a Salvadorian archbishop, is going to be canonized tomorrow on October 14th! I didn't know a whole lot about him until my husband spent time in El Salvador last summer visiting a small Catholic agricultural community. During his trip he got to see several sites connected to soon-to-be Saint Oscar Romero and was deeply moved by his witness to the Gospel through his defense of … [Read more...]

Is Your Favorite Saint a Gryffindor? The Definitive Guide to Sorting the Saints

June 20, 2016 By Haley 52 Comments

Is Your Favorite Saint a Gryffindor? The Definite Guide to Sorting the Saints!

Ever wonder whether your patron saint is a Gryffindor or a Hufflepuff?  I didn’t start to consider it until last week when my friend Haley over at Home to Catholicism brought up sorting saints into Hogwarts houses on Twitter (she’s @bakeorbake over there, folks). But then I couldn't STOP thinking about it, crowdsourced my queries to Facebook, and ended up with the best thread ever. Granted, I’m … [Read more...]

5 Saints Every Nursing Mom Should Know

5 Saints Every Nursing Mom Should Know // Carrots for Michaelmas

We know that Pope Francis has supported breastfeeding women (even in church) and Our Lady offers a beautiful example of motherly love when she's depicted nursing in the tradition of Christian art. There is wonderful encouragement for nursing mothers in our faith, but some of us still face difficult challenges when we try to breastfeed. As a mama who has struggled with breastfeeding, I was … [Read more...]

Spanish Tapas, Eggplant Spread, and Potatoes Aioli // Carrots for Michaelmas

One of the sentiments that was clear from this week's reader survey (you can still fill it out and help me make Carrots better) is that y'all miss the monthly liturgical year posts. As a blogger it's hard to tell what's striking a chord, and because there were rarely more than one or two comments on these posts, I thought y'all were bored with them! And they're time-intensive to put together so I … [Read more...]
