The Catholic All Year Liturgical Living Show wrapped season one with a December episode on our At Home Nativity Play that I never managed to share here on the blog, because . . . baby > blog 😆🤷♀️.
So, I figured I'd share it here, a little late. Because the best thing about the end of Christmas is that it will be back again next year, right?! And hey, while we're at it, I'll share all the videos in one place for easy reference later, and the appropriate booklets, AND the books I recommended from Ignatius Press for each month, because . . . without the support of a sponsor, my friend Elizabeth and I can't make these videos happen!
It's kind of a win win: You get the videos for free, PLUS the chance to get yourself some amazing Catholic books at 25% off of the list price. And because the folks at Ignatius are kind and understanding about things like babies decreasing one's productivity for a bit, they've offered to reactivate ALL the discount codes, through the end of February 2020. They've also given me a brand new code for The Catholic All Year Compendium, if you don't happen to have that, or want to pick up any as gifts. The code for the Compendium is CAYCP25. You can use multiple monthly codes on the same order. I've also discounted every monthly prayer book to 25% off on Amazon, and all the monthly booklet bundles on the blog.
If you'll let me "get real" for a sec here: I promoted the Ignatius book codes before Barbara was born, and those videos paid for themselves with the proceeds from your purchases with the codes. But the videos after Barbara was born . . . not so much with the promoting. Oops.
So, if you like the videos and you'd like us to keep making them, here's what you can do for me:
- Head to Ignatius.com and buy a recommended book or two for yourself or your kids or your grandkids or your godchildren. These are books we use and enjoy in our own home. If the video sponsorship breaks even for them, Ignatius is willing to continue it.
- Let me know what you'd like to see in future videos. More bringing to life liturgical living ideas from the Compendium? I really do want you guys to see that these things ARE doable, and DON'T have to be perfect. Or, Catholic living stuff like surviving Mass with babies and toddlers? sacraments? homeschooling? parenting? cooking? How can I help?
Okay, here are the videos and the book links.
