I just noticed a pin on pinterest for your cards...and repinned. I wonder if you could check out my current blog series shared with Catholic All Year...our two little boys (15 months and 2.5) are penpals, discussing Mass and Mass Survival Tips! http://www.equippingcatholicfamilies.com/2013/01/a-letter-to-frankie-about-moms-mass.htmlMonica @ Equipping Catholic Familieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04985386169429863305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4456345722822886290.post-70424495558062110092012-10-03T21:46:25.720-05:002012-10-03T21:46:25.720-05:00Thanks for offering the seek and find cards.

Sometimes, we get to mass early and let them light candles and walk around and that seems to help calm them down.sunnymumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13344408874613890951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4456345722822886290.post-73185613227914100152011-04-28T10:24:03.047-05:002011-04-28T10:24:03.047-05:00I'm a little embarrassed, I don't see snac...I'm a little embarrassed, I don't see snacks on here?<br><br>I think we are the only ones who do snacks in church. Bridget just got weaned from her daytime feedings and needs a little snack of pretzels....which makes my 4 year old hungry. <br><br>We've only had one Sunday of no nursing so far and I had to walk her out and hold her in the back. Littles just need to run and can't. It's a hard stage. <br><br>I have found the only thing that works is to pray to a couple women I know that died, they were wonderful mothers and help me every time during Mass. My children are not perfect, but we make it and I am patient enough when I remember to pray to them and ask their intercession. <br><br>Our "religious" children books are just not interesting enough to keep their attention. They are so wordy and either have basically the same pictures on every page or just not interesting enough pictures for them. <br><br>It's hard. <br>but they grow and I look down the line and see my 3 oldest being so good during Mass and ask myself, "How did I get here?" They are so good.<br><br>They used to be naughty in Mass too.<br>Hang in there Melissa!<br><br>PS are you coming to the Easter Party? You still belong to the group and we'd all love to see you!!Jamie Johttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17678469484585027738noreply@blogger.com
