- The Catholic Home: Celebrations and Traditions for Holidays, Feast Days, and Every Day, by Meredith Gould
- The Year & Our Children: Catholic Family Celebrations for Every Season, by Mary Reed Newland
- The Big Book of Catholic Customs and Traditions for Children's Faith Formation, by Beth Branigan McNamara with Sue Robinson and Anne E. Neuberger
- Catholic Mosaic: Living the Liturgical Year with Children, by Cay Gibson (I can't wait to get the Christmas One)
Then there are the resources online as well, many of the blogs and sites which I list on my sidebar and enjoy. I especially enjoy incorporating special meal ideas and Catholic Cuisine gives lots of good recipes and ideas, plus I like my cookbook: Building the Family Cookbook, by Suzanne Fowler (it goes through the year and gives foods tied in with stories of the saints)
I would love to hear if you have found and enjoy any resources that you couldn't live without. Also we are slowly building our children's library...so any good Lent/Easter book recommendations would be fabulous!! Still trying to nail down what we will be doing for Lent...might be more of a planning year for me and implementing next year when Angel is a bit older. I did order the Jesus Tree (similar to Jesse Tree) for Lent (thanks Jessica for the info) from Scripture Trees...and will make all the symbols this year and have ready to use next!! The Catholic Lapbooks look fun and so faith-filled as well so keeping those on my list too! We are also signed up to get the daily prayers and ideas from Holy Heroes (we enjoyed the Advent ones and coloring books we got as well!). Will keep you posted!

Neat books, I'll have to check them out! Thanks for the ideas. We use "A Continual Feast" by Evelyn Birge Vitz. She has recipes and traditions by seasons (liturgical and otherwise) and by feast days, and discusses Christian hospitality. We also make pysanky (Ukrainian Easter eggs) throughout Lent, but that might be due to these long Wisconsin winters more than a sense of tradition. ;)
Another Catholic home traditions book I've heard is good is an out-of-print one called "Around the Year with the Trapp Family" written by Maria von Trapp.
Thanks so much for mentioning my book, The Catholic Home, on your lovely loving blog. (Readers should get the paperback version, which revised some copy editing bloopers and added content).
Anyway, back to you! Happy to discover your blog. LOVE the "chemo envelope" practice you created for Mom Hartsell. What a great spiritual practice.
Blessings for Lent and Beyond,
Meredith
I have the first and second books. I just got them last week and already put both to use!
Who knows where to download XRumer 5.0 Palladium?
