Our garden

This is the Garden of the Good Shepherd. There's a reusable sticker for each day of Lent. Each one has an explanation to deepen faith during this special time of year. The darlin's loved taking turns each day and getting all the stickers in place. I love sweet traditions like this that build memories and family culture! A big thank you to my friend, Renee for sharing this idea with me ;-). These are some of our favorite Tomie dePaola books to go along with his Garden of the Good Shepherd Calendar.
We have really enjoyed Mr. dePaola's work! Happy Easter weekend everyone!

Clear clutter to make way for new blessings.

What you resist persists.
Bloom where you are planted.
Of all the things you wear, your expression is the most important.

One thing you can give and still keep...is your word.
Your mind is like a parachute...it functions only when open.
The 10 commandments are not a multiple choice.
