Meet Jessica

Owner of SweetLittleOnesShop on Etsy

Profile Pic Square

Hello, I’m Jessica, wife to Jim, mom to 3 sweet little ones through the blessing of adoption, and the artisan behind Sweet Little Ones Shop. God’s truth is seen in beauty – and I love to share this through creating beautiful and meaningful printable art. As a wife, mother, and business owner, I can easily get wrapped up in the busyness of life – I often need to be reminded to pause, pray, and listen to God’s call for me in the big and the little moments. So the printables I design serve as beautiful visual reminders to inspire all of us as Catholic women to nurture and deepen our faith in our (sometimes very hectic!) everyday lives.

I’m so excited to include one of my favorite printables in this giveaway! This St. Catherine of Siena quote is a perfect reminder that God is calling us to holiness exactly through our unique set of gifts and experiences that He gave us.
This would be perfect to decorate your home or prayer altar or give as a gift to a fellow sister in Christ. You can purchase yours here for $5: SweetLittleOnesShop

Shop SaongJai

SmartSelectImage_2017-07-06-23-01-18

My name is Aleesa and there is this sweet little shop called SaongJai {sounds like= song jeye} that I run. It means two hearts in Thai and called that name for the two hearts of Jesus and Mary also my sister and I love to make rosaries together and that is how this handmade Catholic goods shop all started out.

Like SaongJai on facebook at: www.facebook.com/saongjai
This awesome gunmetal rosary can always be purchased for the fellow in your life. It is super sturdy, masculine, and simple. The heavy hematite beads are stone and gently warm up as you hold them and pray almost feeling as if the rosary is becoming a part of your hands just as the mysteries you are meditating on should be absorbing into your soul!

Meet Jessica Connolly

As a Catholic convert myself and new to the idea of liturgical seasons, I was inspired to create modern calendars to help me, my family, and other families navigate the wealth of daily resources available through the Church. In the past year I have also opened an Etsy storefront and a Peter’s Square shop to sell liturgical calendars, sacred art calendars, fine art, and jewelry.

Skinny-LitCal-2018-mockup-crop.jpg

Our 2017-2018 monthly calendar offers seasonal liturgical colors, daily readings, feast days, and sacred art by contemporary and classical artists. By celebrating liturgical seasons at home, we can experience the full “mystery of Christ from Incarnation and Nativity through his Ascension, to Pentecost and the expectation of the blessed hope of the coming of the Lord” (Catechism 1194).

You can learn more about about all of our liturgical calendars at www.liturgicalcalendars.com We offer a yearly calendar with seasonal colors included, an interactive yearly calendar for kids (or adults) who like to complete the calendar colors themselves, and a variety of other prints with uplifting quotes. We also offer bulk pricing for bookstores, classes, and groups.

I definitely bought myself a gift… but it’s for the whole family!

Our homes are domestic churches ⛪️ 

I think the big Catholic influencers call it liturgical living ;)

“I can’t go this year, but next year I hope to “I can’t go this year, but next year I hope to!”

I hear this every year when I’m planning the Prayer Wine Chocolate Retreat.

And every year I think…” I don’t know if I’ll be able to do this again next year.”

Each year- each day- is a gift.
Getting to plan a retreat for women that truly serves their minds, their souls and their hearts is truly a gift.
But the truth is, I never know if I’ll be given this gift again.

Jesus reminds us all in the Gospels that we all really don’t know what will happen in the future.
I don’t know what next year will bring…

But I do know that when women attend a Prayer Wine Chocolate Retreat for a day, they say things like

“I needed this”
“I would have paid you more”
“It’s like Christmas for Moms”

I understand life is busy. I feel strongly that the busyness is a distraction from the stillness Our Lord is calling us to.

If you really can’t attend this year’s Prayer Wine Chocolate Retreat, may I make a suggestion?

Get out your calendar and schedule a day to go to confession,
A day to go to Mass that is not Sunday,
A day to get together with someone else to pray the Rosary out loud and a day to spend time with another woman that needs your prayers.

All of these things are available on November 15th.
There’s still time to register!

If you want to join us this year, comment “Register “ and I’ll send you the details.

If you definitely can’t make it, drop a prayer intention in the comments- or message me- and we will bring your intentions with us!

“We should start our own Rosary group” is what “We should start our own Rosary group” is what my friend here, Nancy, suggested over two decades ago.

We were at her Mom’s friend’s house, where generations of women and their children had gathered for the Rosary. Apparently this was something they had done together for years.

I was so grateful Nancy suggested this! I had always wanted friends to pray with.
And so we started… 4 young women with different intentions and heartaches. 4 young women who had hope that prayers do get answered. 

We often invited other friends too.
Someone would bring wine. Someone would bring food. Often it was chocolate.

Years past. Prayers have been answered.
Unexpected crosses have been carried.
This prayer group was a light in the darkness for me.

Because Nancy suggested we start a Rosary group, prayer wine Chocolate came to be…

Don’t hesitate to turn your GNO into a Rosary night.
We highly recommend it.

Last night we attended a BEAUTIFUL event for Marti Last night we attended a BEAUTIFUL event for Martin Saints Classical High School @msc_highschool 

I’m so grateful that this joyfully Catholic HS exists and is growing and thriving.

I also want to thank @leah.darrow for posting about @projectrunway a few years ago! I had never heard of this business before and they saved my day yesterday! I still had no idea what I was going to wear to this formal event an hour before leaving… and this dress showed up right on time!

Catholic influencers are necessary and important. Catholics sharing their faith online AND sharing life hacks are helpful and truly serve! 
Thank you Leah! Thank you @msc_highschool !
Thanks @projectrunway !

Go to a place where you can be still. Go to a chur Go to a place where you can be still.
Go to a church that is surrounded with art that tells the story of salvation.
Let Jesus see you where He is physically present in the Eucharist.
Know Jesus, know peace…

There is a hymn called Hosea and it starts like this:
Come back to me, with all your heart; Don’t let fear keep us apart…

God bless you!!!

I don’t believe in accidents. I was thinking abo I don’t believe in accidents.
I was thinking about posting this prayer and I got a call from “Peoria, Illinois “.
For those of you wondering why that means anything… that where Archbishop Fulton Sheen grew up. Fulton Sheen wrote this prayer!

I never answer calls from random places but I couldn’t help it. I answered it.

I said hello… and heard nothing.
I waited… still nothing.
No voice. No recording. No dial tone.

So I hung up and now I’m posting this.

Type MIRACLE OR PRAYER in the comments and I’ll send you the link for the download.

The prayer takes less than 30 seconds to pray.

3 year olds can memorize.

I’ve witnessed it save lives! Yes, plural… LIVES!

Thank you for sharing your photo Nelly!! @nellysosarmz @elarbolmenta
