Lent 2011


I have been working hard trying to put together some resources for Lent.  So far this is what I've found.

My Blessing From Above gave some great Lent Resources.  One is to this Printable Lenten Calendar for Kids.  We'll be using this to count the days to Easter. 

After checking out the wonderful calendar on Catholic Icing, I searched under Lent and came up with a ton of resources and ideas HERE.  I've looked around and printed out several things I think we will use.  I'll have to go back later for more because there are so many fun crafts.

Some more searching around led me to The Catholic Toolbox, which has a special section devoted to Ash Wednesday and Lent

Holy Heros will be presenting a Lenten Adventure (we participated in their Advent Adventure last year).  You can sign up to receive their emails every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday during Lent.

Also, take some time to stop by A Slice of Smith Life where Tracy has some great ideas and links.  I really like her Bean Jar idea.

Lastly I found this Daily Lenten Reflection, which is great for all the mommies.

Tomorrow we will be attending Ash Wednesday service at our church.  We plan on talking today and tomorrow about what we will be giving up during Lent.  As of right now, that is still up on the air. 

Do you have any Lenten traditions?
