Fox News: “The Evolution of Home Schooling”

By Colleen Hammond, in Family Life, Homeschool | 1 Response 1 Comment

Compare our son’s two high quality Prie Dieus/Prayer Kneelers (below) to other places that charge well over $500!
Our son’s custom built, high quality, hand-made (in Texas!), folding Prie Dieus/Prayer Kneelers are priced perfectly for any gift!!! Meticulously hand-crafted in the USA, these Prie Dieus are ‘glued and screwed’ for stability and long life. The durable construction ensures you’ll get years of use, giving you the option to pass it along as a valued family heirloom.

Model and Patroness of a Family, a Wife, a Mother, and a Mystic.

I have a strong devotion to Bl. Anna Maria Taigi. She has blessed our family with one major miracle and a number of “tiny” ones. She is truly an example of a devoted wife, a loving mother, and an accurate and amazing mystic. I’m excited to announce, too, that more information on her canonization is coming soon!
