"P" is for Party!

Ultimate Blog Party 2011
Come Join the Party


Because I am brand new to blogland (just over 1 month now), I have decided to join the Ultimate Blog Party 2011(!) as an attempt to get to know other bloggers, to find new blogs that interest me, to share my blog, and to (cross my fingers) *perhaps* win a prize! Does this sound like your kind of party? Just click on the button above to join the fun!

My Family

If this is your first time visiting my place, welcome! Thank you for visiting! Sit down and stay for awhile. I can’t wait to meet you! My name is Bernadette. I am wife to my Mister, mama to three, master floor scrubber, chief boo-boo kisser, and laundress extraordinaire. My goal is to slow down and see the sacred in the simple, and the Cross in the chaos.

You can call me Detta. It means “little one”. Sometimes I feel so small, powerless, and insignificant when I look around at this great big world (or my teensy little home) and think of all that must be done. But I know that within me, that within YOU, there is something great, unique, and wonderful to share. A calling from above, to do, to be, something beautiful for God.

This blog is my attempt to share a segment of my journey towards beauty, harmony, love…my heart’s song. I’d like to share it with you…if you’d like to come along.

I love to blog about my everyday life which generally includes:

Catholic Culture in the Home...

Praying the Rosary with the Littles - Part I

Celebrate the Solemnity of St. Joseph - Prayer, Craft, and Song
[sacrifice1.jpg]
Lenten Ideas for Littles
 The Littles...

A Fun Solution!


Healthy Easter Baskets - Hop, Hop, Hooray!


DIYs...

What We Were Up to This Weekend...


Tutorials (for whatever I happen to be making)...

Spring Inspired Fabric Flower #1

Spring Inspired Fabric Flower Tutorial #2



No-Sew Baby Blanket Tutorial

Recipes (We are slowly making our way towards a more organic lifestyle)...












 



 
Fabulous Finds of the Thrift Variety (I love to re-purpose some of these and just enjoy others as they come!)...So sorry! No pictures for this one...

 

and So. Much. More!




Won't you join me on this journey?



P.S.
Please leave a comment so that I can get to know you and check out what you have going on over at your place. See you there!

    Betta,

    Your entry jumped out at me when I was entering mine. I'm a Catholic mom to four boys, who we also homeschool. I love reading what others are doing to live their faith and look forward to reading your posts.

    I'm also following you now.

    I hope you'll stop by our family's blog some time.

    Lovely to meet you, Detta, through UBP. What a lovely family you have. And you blog covers so many great topics. You are a busy mamma. (From a mom, much older than you . . . a word of encouragement . . . keep up the good work . . . it pays off.) I love being friends with our adult children. And homeschooling leads to that.(and other things, too.)

    Fondly,
    Glenda

    Love meeting so many different moms this way! I really like the Easter lily craft. We'll have to try that one this year. My kids and I like to craft as well. We made a "Lamb of God" craft a few weeks back. Happy partying! - Janelle

    I'm a Catholic mom, too, which is why your blog's title jumped at me. I'm following you from the UBP. I hope you can stop by my mommy blog, too! Incidentally, I was homeschooled and so was my hubby!

    Catching up with UBP11 and wanted to say "hello" and welcome to the world of blogging! You have a lovely blog and I'll be following along! I'm a fellow Catholic, married but not blessed with children. I've found my calling in various parish ministries though. Stop by my blog when you have a chance. ;-)
