Introducing Creative Café!

“Creative Café” workshops are designed to lay a feast of beautiful ideas to spark each child's creativity. These  workshops , which are literature & art-based, are great for classroom teachers and homeschooling parents teaching a wide variety of ages. I also have several free  mini-workshops  that only require a color printer and a picture book to get started!   Because my children are still too young to participate in creative writing workshops, I've found other ways to introduce Creative Café at home (you can read the story behind the name  here ).  The basics for our at-home Creative Café are simple– we put on some coffee shop jazz or instrumental music, choose a spot with comfortable seating, and then we get to work on something creative! Sometimes I also offer refreshments.    Regardless of age, Creative Café is a fabulous way to inspire creative writers and thinkers. You can check out my free  Creative Café: The Basics  guide t...

Happily Ever After

Growing up, I was a Disney princess girl through and through. I loved each princess's story, but even more so, I loved that I never had to worry about the ending. Every princess is guaranteed a happily ever after.



Princesses of Heaven: The Flowers is a lovely picture book that tells the real stories of six women who ultimately earned their happily ever after. Fabiola Garza highlights the beautiful souls of the featured saints without revealing the brutal reality of what sacrifices these women ultimately made for love of God. Rather than romanticizing their stories, I believe we can look at these stories with the light of a faith that tells us to hope against hope because the best is yet to come.

Women of all ages will love the invitation to dream about their own happily ever after—"Princess, what is your path to Heaven?"

I think this book would make a lovely inspiration piece for a princess-themed birthday party and a great craft to pair with it would be dried flower art. I'll definitely be keeping this in mind for my own little girls!

📖 I've included this fantastic read-aloud in our Creative Catholic Library. Find more books about kingdoms, princesses, and knights here!
