It's so nice to have a special day with your favorite dinner and maybe some presents, but that's "just family" and more intimate and spiritual than your birthday. Especially since I'm a twin who had to share all my birthdays, having my own saint's day to celebrate (Lillian's is in July and mine is in October) was so great. We keep it really simple, just a special meal, Mass together, a small gift, and either reading a children's book about the saint or sharing a story about him/her. <br /><br />Oh my gosh, you're just like Frank. :P He loooooves peanut butter on his pancakes. I can't quite wrap my mind around that one!Tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07797493386545660391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-989033992988999073.post-21039498041207057392013-10-08T22:13:03.998-05:002013-10-08T22:13:03.998-05:001.

Maybe I will start that tradition with my own family!<br />3.

You should totally go if you get the chance—the Settlement is so much fun for kids and the "Weed Ladies" store has so many great seasonal decorations. I'll try to do these more often. :)Tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07797493386545660391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-989033992988999073.post-40650266924773331412013-10-07T10:39:36.679-05:002013-10-07T10:39:36.679-05:00Thanks, Stephanie!

I work at a Classical elementary school and the pre-school teacher is a Montessori teacher and uses this program. I can't say enough good things about it. Did you know that it is the curriculum used by Mother Thersea and her sisters?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-989033992988999073.post-25500940643376070722013-10-04T18:46:27.664-05:002013-10-04T18:46:27.664-05:00What fun quick takes!
