I'm really excited about this! I'm taking on the project of creating a binder for our family that walks through the church calendar by season and includes recipes, feast day traditions, ideas, etc to repeat each year. By trial and error we're finding the best practices for our family to live out the story of God's faithfulness each year. Your resources have been really helpful in forming this for our young family! I'm excited to build a home where our little girls can "taste and see that the Lord is good." :)

That’s so sweet to do! That’s what I did with my children when they were little and now they are my The Liturgical Home Guidebooks for every liturgical season.

Oh I'm really looking forward to this series. The idea that Ordinary Time is not a waiting time (or a feasting time) hit different today. While there are still things to be done in Ordinary Time, it is different from the preparation of Advent and Lent and the feasting of Christmas and Easter. I think OT can be really formative for family life but we've been in a wild season of a brand new baby and a move to a different state so I feel like I'm missing out on some of what this season offers. I think this series will be a good encouragement of little things I can add into our routines to ground us a bit.

We have been WALKING to church each week (a thing I was very excited about our move here) and that rhythm has come to be a beautiful life line in the midst of unpacking, organizing, new library cards, new parks, new grocery stores, new new new haha and very little sleep. Something ordinary that feels so meaningful.

I love that y'all are able to walk to church every Sunday! What a gift! And what a sweet rhythm in the midst of all of the new. I've always overlooked Ordinary Time but it really occurred to me this year that the season takes up 3/4 of the liturgical year and how beautiful that we are given such a long time for quiet growth, rest, and discipleship.
