Spiritual Stocking Stuffers 2017: Gift guide and Giveaway!

I was provided product in exchange for honest opinions.  There are affiliate links in this post.  Please purchase through these links and support small businesses (including this blog)!

Confession: I get caught up in the Christmas shopping, the music, the lights . . . and I often don’t think much about Advent.

I often think about my faith, but as far as “liturgical seasons”; I’m not , how should I say this, on the ball?

One thing I do think about in the busyness of the season is keeping Christ in Christmas and remembering He is the REASON FOR THE SEASON.

I like to remind others . . . but I don’t want to beat anyone over the head with it so to speak.

Which is why I came up with the idea of giving “Spiritual Stocking Stuffers”.  A little gift among the practical that reminds the receiver that Our Lord loves them tremendously and longs to spend time with them in prayer and sacraments.

I also believe these gifts show the person receiving how much we truly love them.  I believe this gifts will provide a physical sign of hope once the hustle and bustle of the season is long over, and life with it’s normal ups and downs, is back again.

I look for gifts I would want to both give and receive.  This year, here are my suggestions for

Spiritual Stocking Stuffers

Pink Salt Riot’s Saint Benedict Rosary Bracelet

 

StBenedictbracelet

I learned a little about the Saint Benedict Medal this year and it really intrigued me. There are a number of benefits credited to this medal – two are: To serve as an armor against temptation; 5. and to secure a timely and healthy birth for children. In addition to this medal being such a powerful sacramental, Pink Salt Riot displays it in a modern, fashionable and fun way! I’m looking forward to wearing mine 🙂

 

A T-Shirt from PioPrints

I simply LOVE these tees!  I have the set the world on fire, but I am hoping to also get the “Start being brave . . .” and the MOVE ON tee (where was that years ago when I so couldn’t move one!!??)!  I love that these fit women and children.  I love how soft they are and they are totally in style! I love how they empower women – young and old!

 

WWI Battle Beads with the Passion Crown of Thorns Crucifix

“When people love and recite the rosary they find it makes them better.”

Saint Anthony Mary Claret

The Rosary has been prayed and praised by many saints – and many of them, men!  The Rosary is such a powerful prayer, and this one from Cordbands.com couldn’t be more masculine!  I, personally, think it is so cool! As explained by the company:

This compact all metal rosary is rugged, functional, and portable.  It has a meaningful history, as it is a reproduction of the service rosaries issued by the government to soldiers, sailors, and flying aces during WWI, hence the name.

This Rosary is perfect for all the guys on your list!

 

 

Shining Light Dolls and Books

Totally adorable and absolutely perfect for my little ones hands!  They hold them, admire them and they put them in their mouths.  All okay with me!  It’s a great reminder for me as a mom to tell them about St. Michael the Archangel or Our Lady of Guadalupe or whomever they are holding and playing with at that moment.  It also reminds me to teach them a prayer and to pray over them and for them!

 

Shining Light Dolls also has two awesome board books for the little loved ones in your life!  We have and love The Virgin Mary Around the World and I’m thinking of purchasing Saints on the Go for a St. Nicholas Day present.  I also love these books for Godchild Christmas presents!

A Frameable Faith Catholic Print (or Subscription) 

Frameable Faith provides beautiful art to display and is incredibly inspirational!  Offering both digital downloads and monthly subscriptions options, it’s a great add on to a gift or stocking!

 

Natural Life Gifts

From their Blessings Shop to their FEARLESS collection, this company taps into our faith in a way that is modern and trendy without sacrificing the need for God in our lives.  Although most gifts are for the young woman you are shopping for, I’m so excited to see they have included a cool men’s t-shirt!  The Feel the Fear Tee is a part of the FEARLESS line; which aims to help educate and empower those who suffer from anxiety.

Trappistine Quality Candy (made by the Sisters of Mt. Saint Mary’s Abbey)

Lots of choices to choose from (some chocolate, some not) – ALL DELICIOUS!  Seriously, it must be the added prayer because this candy truly tastes heavenly!  Not only are you gifting a sweet treat when you purchase this product, but you are helping the Sisters who make the candy sustain themselves and allowing them to continue a life of prayer,  which includes prayer for you and all the peoples of our world!  Great for a man or woman, young or old – this gift truly is the best stocking stuffer! Shop their catalog and order online (and by the way, the dark chocolate goes great with red wine 😉 )!

 

SaongJai Catholic Shop

Perfect for the little girl who loves her pearls and jewelry.  I love how Aleesa hand makes fun Miraculous Medal necklaces – and even some matching necklaces for dolls!  Very kid friendly and fun, SaongJai has jewelry and rosaries for the little girl on your list. SaongJai also has medals young boys can wear – while staying stylish of course!  Whether your shopping for a boy or a girl, SaongJai has the perfect Spiritual Stocking Stuffer!

 

 

 

A Miraculous Medal Necklace

There are so many to choose from – for men and women, teens and grandparents!  I love the handmade ones at Relics by Rose and I also love the simplicity of a small, simple gold Miraculous Medal. Our Blessed Mother promised many graces to those who wore one around their necks – its a spiritual and fashionable win!

A Necklace made by Relics by Rose

Rose enjoys rescuing lost, broken, or forgotten Catholic religious medals, prayer cards and rosaries, and using them in modern jewelry designs while maintaining their Catholic identity and value.  Her items are gorgeous.  Her most recent addition to her collection is a Rosary necklace that is also a wrap bracelet!  I love that I can use this to pray the Rosary, wear as a necklace OR as a stunning bracelet! Rose sells a variety of necklaces, bracelets and earrings – all incredibly unique and beautiful!

ChewsLife

My twins constantly put my necklace in their mouth – and the only necklace I wear is a Miraculous Medal!  ChewsLife has the perfect solution for me and both of my 7 month olds! A Miraculous Medal that I can wear and my babies and can chew on! ChewsLife also has jewelry that is more stylish and not for baby to chew on, but for mommy to wear while she’s running errands or out on a date 🙂 !

Be Yourself: A Journal for Catholic Girls

I’m so thankful to be the Lord’s pencil for this awesome treasure!  God loves each and every one of us and has a mission for us – this journal helps young girls (and not so young ones) get a glimpse of God’s love for them and the mission that is unique to each individual -AND does so in a fun way that embraces the heart of young girls! Sponsored by Leah Darrow and Generation Life, this journal has been embraced by young girls, their mothers and religious education teachers! (Would you like to see two of my favorite pages?  Check out pics on my Prayer Wine Chocolate on Facebook)


DaySpring’s Illustrated Faith Kit 

The Illustrated Faith line is a great add on to the Be Yourself Journal! Their many GIFT SETS would be the perfect addition to the Be Yourself Journal and really get the receiver exctied about starting to use the book right away!  Illustrated Faith products are also great gifts for a loved one who has been talking about Bible Journaling; or someone who has embraced a love for Prayer Journaling.  There are lots of fun ways you can incorporate these fun stickers, pens and prayer prompts into a gift.  One way is to purchase a starter kit, another way is to buy an inspiration pouch like the Sadie Robertson Fearless Pouch and fill it with inspirational stickers, washi tape, pens and fun prayer prompts

One person will win:

A St. Benedict Rosary Bracelet from Pink Salt Riot

A T-shirt from PioPrints (you choose the size)

A WWI Battlebeads Rosary

Two dolls and a book from Shining Light Dolls

GUIDE: How to Plan your Own Prayer Wine Chocolate Retreat

Be Yourself! Journal

Journal for tweens and teens

prayerwinechocolate

Friendship can be confusing to tween and teens. th Friendship can be confusing to tween and teens. they hear “love one another” but are not taught that there are different kinds of love and that friendship is meant to be selective. Saint John Bosco left similar advice. He said:
“Fly from bad companions as from the bite of a poisonous snake. If you keep good companions, I can assure you that you will one day rejoice with the blessed in Heaven; whereas if you keep with those who are bad, you will become bad yourself, and you will be in danger of losing your soul.”
Yes, love! But love God above all and remember “Faithful friends are a sturdy shelter; whoever finds one finds a treasure” (Sirach 6:14).

Let’s talk about Catholic gifts for men… My h Let’s talk about Catholic gifts for men…

My husband’s birthday was on Monday, and I was so excited to give him this book from Voyage Comics!

The truth is, him and I are both fans of this small Catholic business.

Our son loves their comic books too!

Catholic gifts for women often seem plentiful… but when it comes to men, well … shopping for them can be more of a challenge.

I love how the men over at Voyage Comics create extremely incredible content and works of art that entertain without compromising virtue.
I love that I can say to my son and other young people, “look, you can enjoy your work and give glory to God at the same time”!

If you want to give an inspiring gift for Father’s Day… and make your husband or dad smile that this handsome guy… definitely go shopping at Voyage Comics!

Friends!!! Please join me in welcoming Katie home! Friends!!! Please join me in welcoming Katie home! Katie fully entered the Catholic Church on Sunday!

Katie was raised by wonderful Christian parents in the New Apostolic Church and I honestly want to really get her to share her conversion story.
Until then
I will say this… 

never hesitate to invite someone to pray the Rosary with you!

Katie embraced the Rosary as a Christian 
and funny story… I remember her holding it once and saying “I’m not converting “ as her Catholic husband walked by us 😂 

Truth be told, Katie has helped me pull off every single Prayer Wine Chocolate Retreat since the very beginning!

Watching her research and completing dive into the Word with her whole heart has been a beautiful, inspiring sight.

And quite frankly, between her and Mark Wahlburg… I think I hear about the Hallow app at least 3 times a day 😆.
Seriously @hallowapp , you should hire her 😉😜!
Welcome Katie and drop a hug emoji below!!!
Love you Katie @craftymom714 !!!!

How can we love our identity and still be humble? How can we love our identity and still be humble?

Does that sound like a good title for a talk?

I’m working on a “Talk” on Identity (or a blog post if I chicken out 🐓)… and I’m really liking the topic of humility… along with modesty.
My plan was to post this morning and ask for your prayers… but along the way I saw that today is Saint Philip Neri’s feast day.
So, naturally, I googled “Saint Philip Neri humility”.
To my delight, I found this quote:

“Humility is the safeguard of chastity. In the matter of purity, there is no greater danger than not fearing the danger. 

For my part, when I find a man secure of himself and without fear, I give him up for lost. I am less alarmed for one who is tempted and who resists by avoiding the occasions, than for one who is not tempted and is not careful to avoid occasions. When a person puts himself in an occasion, saying, I shall not fall, it is an almost infallible sign that he will fall, and with great injury to his soul.”

I feel like some great message is coming together here, but, I need your prayers.

I mean, I don’t even know if posting about humility on Instagram is like, a total oxymoron?

I’m so thankful to have Scripture and the writing of Saints to help me. I’m also extremely grateful for your prayers.

May we both live as it is written in 1 Peter 5:5 ~
“And all of you, clothe yourselves with humility in your dealings with one another, for:
“God opposes the proud
but bestows favor on the humble.”
* if you like that Saint Philip Neri quote, you can see and share it over at @catholicsonline 

Do you have any questions or thoughts on humility?
Let me know in the comments!

Do our sons understand what it means to be a “sp Do our sons understand what it means to be a “spiritual warrior “? Do we?

I learned and relearned a ton of things writing Be Yourself: a Journal for Catholic Boys.

Here’s what we all need to know about being a “Spiritual Warrior “:

1. Yes, there is a battle between good and evil and we are all in the midst of it. Years ago, in cartoons, it was common to see a devil on one shoulder and an Angel on another. It was CLEAR which voice was good and which was evil. The animation gave us a visual of what we were very familiar with.  Today, we must work a little harder so that all of us are detecting what is good and what is evil.

2. You don’t walk out onto a battlefield unprepared.
You put on your suit of armor and you bring your weapon. You do this FIRST! Faith is our shield, prayer is our greatest weapon. In other words, God has to be number one if we want to truly protect our soul. Knowing God has to be not only a priority, but our first priority.

3. We are not alone, but not everyone is going to grow in virtue. The virtues are our “armor of light” that protect us from the enemy. We would be wise to follow the advice of St. Francis de Sales in this, “Love everyone with a strenuous love based on charity, but form friendships only with those who can share virtuous things with you.”
Want to help your son on the battlefield?
Get him a copy of this journal today!

Prayer of St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus O Jesu Prayer of St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus

O Jesus, I pray for your faithful and fervent priests;
for your unfaithful and tepid priests;
for your priests laboring at home or abroad in distant mission fields;
for your tempted priests;
for your lonely and desolate priests;
for your young priests;
for your dying priests;
for the souls of your priests in purgatory.

But above all, I recommend to you the priests dearest to me:
the priest who baptized me;
the priests who absolved me from my sins;
the priests at whose Masses I assisted and who gave me your Body and Blood in Holy Communion;
the priests who taught and instructed me;
all the priests to whom I am indebted in any other way (especially …).

O Jesus, keep them all close to your heart,
and bless them abundantly in time and in eternity.
Amen.

I have a super sweet story to share with you! Las I have a super sweet story to share with you!

Last evening my husband and I decided that we were long overdue for praying a Rosary with the family.

We have friends searching for jobs that have asked us to pray and many others intentions.

Our kids were outside playing with a little girl who lives up the road.

I walked outside with a bunch of tangled up Rosaries (see reel I made yesterday) and told my 3 children they had to come in to pray the Rosary.

My daughter, who made this Rosary for me, asked if their friend could pray with us.

I said she was, of course, welcome to pray with us!

All 4 kids came inside and my son volunteered to lead the first decade. Our 9 year old guest led a decade too!

She stumbled a little with the words to the Hail Mary but by the end of her decade, I was so impressed.

Once we were done praying my husband complimented our young guest on how well she did.
It was such a beautiful, unexpected event.
What a great reminder… courtesy of my daughter in Kindergarten… to always invite others to pray with you!

“I don’t even remember that”~ my Mom. When I “I don’t even remember that”~ my Mom.
When I told my mom how she inspired the title of the Be Yourself Journal, that was her response 😂.
As a tired Mama, I so appreciate this now.
It’s amazing what God’s grace and a mother’s love can do!
My mom felt bad that I felt left out. But, she was also tired and was probably in survival mode with 3 or 4 children at that point.
I get that now.
But God took what my mom didn’t say and placed in my heart the contents of the book I get to the author of!
I am finding so much relief in this realization today.
I often see my shortcomings as a Mother.
I’m tired.
I’m still disorganized like I was before motherhood.
But I do have faith in God and love for my children.
I believe that God knew exactly what He was doing when He chose me to be the mother of my children.
He knows my strengths and weaknesses.
His grace is sufficient… for all mothers.
Praise the Lord!
Happy Mother’s Day!

Share this post and remind others that it’s totally okay to not be perfect.
Keep loving!

Did you know Our Lady of Fatima taught the three y Did you know Our Lady of Fatima taught the three young children a couple of prayers?

The Blessed Mother taught the children to offer all their personal sacrifices to God by praying:
O My Jesus, I offer this for love of Thee, for the conversion of sinners, and in reparation for the sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Another prayer Our Lady taught the children was:

O My Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of Hell, lead all souls to Heaven, especially those in most need of Thy mercy.

I love how Our Blessed Mother encourages to us to start a prayer by addressing the Lord with these words:
“O my Jesus…”
One of my favorite prayers was taught to the Fatima children by an angel.
This is that prayer:

My God, I believe, I adore, I hope and I love Thee! I ask pardon for those who do not believe, do not adore, do not hope and do not love Thee.

Today, May 13th, is the feast of Our Lady of Fatima.
Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us!

Sometimes, when I go to Mass, the homily isn’t e Sometimes, when I go to Mass, the homily isn’t exactly stellar…

But bread and wine become the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Sometimes, when I attend Mass, the other people in the pews don’t participate in the prayers or sing the hymns…

But bread and wine become the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit and the instrumentality of the priest. The whole Christ is truly present.

Sometimes, when I’m at Mass my own mind wanders and I’m distracted by children who can’t sit still…

But bread and wine become the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit.

An incredible miracle happens at every Catholic Mass… 

The whole Christ is truly present -- body, blood, soul, and divinity -- under the appearances of bread and wine, the glorified Christ who rose from the dead. This is what the Church means when she speaks of the "Real Presence" of Christ in the Eucharist.

The Eucharist is the body of Jesus Christ, which was given up for me and you.
