I was thinking of taking my almost 7 year old son Mario to a special needs CCD. He really is not verbal and has a lot of issues with communication. I don't think he has any understanding at this point of God or Church. So I am curious as to what oth…
Hi Carolyn!
My children go to public school. I'm a big proponent of the local YMCA. They have lots of activities for both children and adults, and many of the families in our community are involved.
I hope this helps!

Although I'm always wishing the house were more presentable, my children always know that their friends are welcome to hang out at our house. I try to keep snacks and juice/soda/iced tea in the house for everyone. The kids don't seem to notice the m…
It's a little harder during the summer, but during the school year, when I pick my kids up, I get there a little early so I can read for about 20 minutes. Also, if you can get out one night during the week, go to the library for a while and read. I…
MY son will hopefully be confirmed this year. I was stressed during his First Penance and First Holy Communion, but in that age group, educational issues aren't as bad since it seems that all children differ quite a bit at that stage in regards to r…

Patrick Madrid is very gifted, I love his method.

Moms who are always up for an adventure ... be it a family road trip or the inside scoop on a great new book!
I know how you feel...I was there about 3 years ago. I found this wonderful book called A mothers Rule Of Life, How to bring order to your home and peace to your home. I found that what I was missing was Gods Grace. This book helped me to get my hou…
A Life That Says Welcome, A: Simple Ways to Open Your Heart & Home to Others by Karen Ehman. It also reminded me that often times we forget to offer hospitality to those who live with us. I'm trying to make our home a comfortable sanctuary for my hu…
I'm a special needs PREP teacher at my parish, and in addition to my 7-year-old son, I'm getting three other children in the group ready for Reconciliation and First Holy Communion in the coming school year. Does anyone have any experience with this…
Dear Donna,
From your picture and young family, even having had a "Catholic Education" may have left you hungry in the area of Catholic teaching. Over past forty years the Church has undergone great turmoil and sadly in some cases poor teaching. Bel…
I read a great book about this very subject called A Life That Says Welcome by Karen Ehman. I was inspired by it, and I highly recommend it.
Ladies, thank you all for your advice, prayers, and support. I really appreciate it, and I got some really good ideas from your posts. I prayed the rosary today; it had been such a long time since I've done that, and being quiet (except for the pray…

- I attend Mass on a fairly regular basis, teach PREP for 5 adorable special needs children, but I'm feeling disconnected from my faith and I want to feel God's presence in my life more strongly.
