Spiritual Stocking Stuffers for Children and Teens

Great news!  There are some AWESOME gifts that young people will love and will allow them to reverently keep Christ in Christmas!  I have come across some treasures, and I want to share them with you!

NaturalLifeChristmas.JPG

And more good news – you could win some of these gifts!  By commenting under this post which gift you want to purchase you are entered!  Extra entries are possible as well!  Best of luck to you and may you truly have a Blessed Christmas!

Babies and Young Children

Louie the Prayer Lamb

This little guy is adorable and the perfect gift for a child from age 0 – 5; boy or girl.  There are many versions, like Luke the Irish Lamb and Olivia the Owl.  All of them say a prayer when you press their paw.  Such a fun way to teach a child prayers!  These are available through The Catholic Company. They often advertise COUPON CODES, so don’t forget to use one!

RosaryChews

Theresa from Little Praying Hands has a variety to choose from at her online store!  I love how they will be gentle reminders to the adult caring for the little one to say a prayer!  Totally safe and definitely practical – these are perfect for baby’s stocking!  Here is a coupon code just for prayer, wine, chocolate readers! 15% off. Expires 12/16. Code: PWCGG

Young Children

Dolls from Heaven

These 18 inch Saint Dolls come with a book and a hope to inspire children to become saints.  As this time there are two dolls, St. Therese and St. Joan of Arc – sure to become collectables.  Although these dolls come in clothes that demonstrate how God called them, there are other clothes available and since they are 18 inch dolls, more clothes for them would be easy to find.  These dolls are a great alternative – or addition – to an American Girl Doll Collection!  Used the coupon code MerryChristmas and get 20% off!

This Necklace Set is included in the Giveaway!

Jewelry for Girls and Their Dolls!

SaongJai is my absolute favorite Etsy shop for children’s Catholic gifts.  Last year we gave my niece a beautiful Miraculous Medal necklace and one that matched for her doll.  She LOVED it!  Aleesa from SaongJai does take custom orders, but this time of year tends to be busy.  Her shop offers Miraculous Medals for young girls, Rosaries for children – and their dolls!  I definitely recommend getting all little girls on your list something from SaongJai!

Candy Made with Love and Prayer

santapops-300x200

Trappistine Quality Candy is made by the nuns at Mt St Mary’s Abbey with great joy and love knowing how much people enjoy their candy.  It is truly quality and absolutely delicious!  What a great way to support the cloistered nuns who make it and a way to teach your children about their life based on “prayer and work”.

Teens

Hand Knotted Rosaries (full, pocket, and wrist)

Durable and trendy, these rosaries have a cool feel the traditional rosaries do not.  I love the pocket rosaries and the bracelets, especially for teen boys.  I honestly love the durabilty of all of these items!  For the younger, pre-teen girl, the rainbow pocket rosaries are especially fun!

Scattergories – Catholic Edition

This is such a fun game for the whole family – and yes, there is a Catholic/Bible edition!!!

SpStockingStuffers10.JPG

Anything and Everything from Natural Life!

Prayer boxes, change pouches, hair bandeaus and even car accessories – this shop is absolutely perfect for any young woman – age 12 to 30!!!  The Prayer Boxes and the Happy Box are probably my favorite gifts!  Have a new driver in the family?  Check out this Happy Car Gift set!  Such a unique and fun gift.  All of the products are inspirational, positive and trendy reminders to be kind and loving to one another and one’s self.  Order today and use COUPON CODE FREESHIP16 for free shipping!!!

Metal Stamp Cuff Bracelet by Faith and Fabric Design

Jewelry from Faith and Fabric Design

Metal Stamp Cuff Bracelets, Hand Stamped Charm Necklaces, and charm bracelets are trendy and affordable!

Miraculous Medals

Whether your shopping for your teenage son or daughter, these are the perfect stocking stuffer!  If you recall watching the Olympics this year, Usain Bolt – the fastest man in the world – reassured young men that wearing a Miraculous Medal is not just a girl thing.  You can shop at the Central Association of the Miraculous Medal online here: Miraculous Medals

Choker Style Necklaces

I’m told that choker style necklaces are all the rage this season!  Blessed Mess is one of my favorite small business Catholic Companies.  Check out their website for a ton of ideas for the whole family – or contact them with an idea for a custom order!  I LOVE their St. Michael medals for boys and pretty much everything they make!  This shop is a definite win for the teens on your shopping list!

AND, IF YOU MAKE A PURCHASE with Christian Bling through ctbling.com/HisGoodness, WRITE IN PARTY NUMBER 1825, AND YOU ARE AUTOMATICALLY ENTERED TO WIN FREE HOSTESS SHOPPING!

Sterling Silver Bangle Bracelet

Search for the bracelet called COMPANIONSHIP on Nicole Gibboni’s Christian Bling website.  This sterling silver bangle style bracelet is very popular right now – and this one can be personalized in many ways, and it can be engraved.

Candy Made with Love and Prayer

TrappistineCandyChristmas.jpg

Trust me.  I taught high school students- the big kids love candy just as much as the younger ones! Trappistine Quality Candy is made by the nuns at Mt St Mary’s Abbey with great joy and love knowing how much people enjoy their candy.  It is truly quality and absolutely delicious!  What a great way to support the cloistered nuns who make it and a way to remind your teens about their life based on “prayer and work”.

Grandparents are such a gift! I remember each of Grandparents are such a gift!

I remember each of mine so fondly.

I see how my children react when we mention their Grandparents.

I hear their excitement when they hear the are going to get to spend time with Gram, MomMom or Pop.

I hear them often say they miss PopPop.
❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙
If you are a Grandparent, never doubt your importance, your relevance or your impact.
❤️❤️😘❤️❤️😘❤️😘😘❤️❤️😘🤗
Let us continue to pray for our grandparents souls!

Share a happy Grandparent memory in the comments!

Do you ever feel like you are not doing enough? O Do you ever feel like you are not doing enough?

Often I need this reminder - God doesn't want us to feel stressed.
He wants us to rely on Him - trust Him.

He wants us to love.
Be patient and kind.

Many saints have discovered this and have advised us in their own words.

Saint Katharine Drexel said, "peacefully do at each moment what needs to be done."

Saint Teresa of Calcutta stated, "never worry about numbers, help one person at a time and start with the person nearest to you."

Saint Therese', the Little Flower, demonstrated again and again how much Jesus delights in her little way.

You don't need to be stressed.
Your little acts of love and trust for Jesus delight Him.

Have a better day 😉

Striving for Sainthood can be as simple as this… Striving for Sainthood can be as simple as this… 

This type of advice can be really helpful for all of us… especially for a young girl navigating middle school or her early teens.

This advice would have helped me.
Why?

Because it takes some pressure off the high expectations often felt by us as individuals.

It makes God’s will for us feel achievable and realistic.

It’s totally relevant to a student in junior high
(And a slightly stressed out adult)

This page in the Be Yourself embraces scrapbooking fun- just like the back cover. Only this page encourages photographs. Yes, actual printed ones 🎞️📸

Take a deep breath.
Love the next person that comes near you.

A prayer and the story behind the picture… Oh S A prayer and the story behind the picture…

Oh St. Joseph whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the throne of God, 

I place in you all my interests and desires. Oh St. Joseph do assist me by your powerful intercession and obtain for me from your divine son all spiritual blessings through Jesus Christ, our Lord; 

so that having engaged here below your heavenly power I may offer my thanksgiving and homage to the most loving of fathers. 

Oh St. Joseph, I never weary contemplating you and Jesus asleep in your arms. I dare not approach while he reposes near your heart. Press him in my name and kiss his fine head for me, and ask him to return the kiss when I draw my dying breath. 

St. Joseph, patron of departing souls, pray for us.
Amen.

My children had off from school on Friday. I had committed to an hour of Eucharistic Adoration on Fridays from to 2 to 3 during Lent… so since they had off, they had to come with me.
It was stressful.
They CAN NOT sit still.
Once I got one to stop walking around or talking, another one started.
But in the middle of all this… I witnessed a sweet moment.
I hesitated to pull out my phone because I really try not to during Adoration.
But, the beauty of the moment struck me, and I had to capture it.
📸 
Motherhood is hard. Parenting is difficult.
But I’m often reminded it’s like farming… and I’m planting seeds.

I just hope and pray I’m planting more good seeds then bad ones.

Thank goodness we can pray and ask for prayers from others!

Saint Joseph, pray for us!

I can’t believe in the past week I’ve posted 4 I can’t believe in the past week I’ve posted 4 videos on YouTube!

And last week’s interview with Dr. Matthew Breuninger (@askacatholictherapist ) still has me thinking about the “psychology of prayer journaling “!

The last 4 videos posted consist of two new interviews (Jessica Castillo from @athrivingcatholic and Dr. John Spitzer @johnspitzermd ); 

a box opening of @pinksaltriot ‘s latest JOY BOX and finally 

a “how to” video that demonstrates how girls can design the back cover of Be Yourself: a Journal for Catholic Girls!
Whew!

Dr. John Spitzer shared parenting advice for moms and dads of tweens;

Jessica Castillo shared how our physical and spiritual health are connected;

The Joy Box had some fun surprises… one will be going in my daughter’s Easter Basket;
And my friend’s daughter was the perfect co-host in the “how to design “ video!

Tell me which topic interests you the most… maybe I’ll dedicate an Instagram post highlighting that content!

Later, she came to me and said that it was her favorite item in her basket. She loves it and really has spent time with it.

Have you ever seen a statistic and thought… thes Have you ever seen a statistic and thought… these numbers are NOT in my favor?

Years ago, I was lonely, depressed and wondering if I would ever not be lonely and depressed.

I dreamed of falling in love and getting married.

But, I wanted to marry a faithful Catholic man… and I believe I saw that only 22% (?) of Americans were Catholic.

And then I thought…
Half of them aren’t men, a large percentage are not practicing and … also how many are BOOMERS?

Lucky for me, God math goes like this…
5 loaves 
2 fish

Don’t you love when a plan comes together for a Don’t you love when a plan comes together for a retreat and you see joyful faces! 

Listen, this is the best retreat hack for Catholic girls!
****The Be Yourself Journal Scrapbooking activity.****

Give each girl a Be Yourself Journal.
Explain how, “We are all called to holiness but we take different paths.” ~ Saint Katharine Drexel.

Have each girl pick out a Holy card and two Catholic stickers.

Put scrapbooking paper and Catholic washi-tape (thank you @thestumpofjesse ) on the tables and get them started with decorating the back of their journals.

As they work add more stickers and quote cards to their table.

Point out that they were all given the same set of instructions… yet each cover design is unique.

The same is true for their calling!
God has a unique mission for each individual.

He calls us to follow the Commandments, embrace His Word and trust the teachings of the Church…
same set of basic instructions, different yet BEAUTIFUL results when followed!
“Be who God meant you to be and you’ll set the world on fire!” ~Saint Catherine of Siena
Huge thank you to the women who donated journals and holy cards!!!

Holy cards can be a fantastic prayer journal prompt. 

Copy the prayer off the back and glue the card to the page ;next to, underneath or above where you wrote the prayer).

Getting ready for a Confirmation Retreat this week Getting ready for a Confirmation Retreat this weekend!

So excited to help these young Catholics see that each is called to holiness… but each mission is unique and unrepeatable!

Huge thank you to the women who donated journals for the retreat (11 donated!!!) and the women from my Bible study group who donated Holy cards!

If you would like to donate a Journal for one of the girls attending the retreat this weekend… send me a private message and I’ll explain how!

Holy cards are GREAT prayer journal prompts!
