Ready to have your mind blown? Okay, here it is: About six months ago I realized something. Catholic Sprouts is not a ministry for children. We are a ministry for parents. 💥Right?! Confused? Okay, let me explain. Even though we say we are a “daily podcast for Catholic kids” and everything we create is meant to be used by kids or with kids, we actually have zero hopes of forming your kids into saints. Why? Because forming your kids into saints is your job, not ours. And ... Read More

💗 Lessons from Quarantine
Hey friend, Imagine something for me. Imagine how powerful it would be if a father sat down with his son for 10 minutes five times a week and discussed things like Purity, Mortification, Generosity and Holiness. Imagine the lessons that could be taught by a mother to her daughter if they spent an hour each Saturday sharing about Humility, Gratitude, Love and Hope. Just imagine. Imagine what that time could do for your kids, your family...for you. One of the things LOTS of ... Read More
Your Thoughts about Quarantine, Faith and Family (results of survey)
Anyone just SICK of hearing about how this Spring, the Spring of 2020, was unprecedented? I am.

And parts of these months in quarantine were miserable. I, for one, fell utterly and completely confirmed in my decisions NOT to homeschool my children and I pray every day that my kids can ...

A Chorus of Voices: Announcement
I’ve been brewing on an idea for some time now...and I can’t let it be a just an idea any longer. So, here’s the thing.

If I need support it’s easy for me to find other women in super similar situations, and I find great comfort in that. But there are other types of Catholic Parents that are not so well represented. To name just a few: 🙋🏻♀️Full ... Read More
’20-’21 Student Planner (available now!)
I know, I know. Don't even talk to me about next school year! The Spring of 2020 has been an epic challenge in most houses around the world. I know it has been in mine! As I am writing this, we have 11 days of school left for the year (not that anyone is counting...). Every day we power through crying fits, a baby who gets into EVERYTHING, a blizzard of papers and 2nd grade math that regularly stumps me. Every day is hard. It has been rough, and I think I need a medal for getting through ... Read More
