Love the idea of the fish shapes for your little one - very appropriate and a great way to include her even if she's too young to really understand!Mandi @ Catholic Newlywedhttp://catholicnewlywed.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604080738678475033.post-34831277146529573752012-02-24T15:14:24.653-05:002012-02-24T15:14:24.653-05:00I love your goals Mandi...very appropriate and on ...I love your goals Mandi...very appropriate and on par with what the season is supposed to mean.<br />I'm still breastfeeding but feel that my milk supply is really stable now (since we are a year in), so I fasted anyways. I also got baby G some Earth's Best fish shapes for Friday's dinner even though babies are allowed to eat me :-)<br />Regarding the sweets...kudos to you! I often gave up candy or chocolate as a kid, but it's not something I have given up in recent years. I agree that we are usually an every-night dessert kind of family, but during Lent perhaps we can change that up and use the time for prayers and reflection. <br />I'm glad you posted this, I had wanted to do something like it since I did for Advent, but the move has got me so flustered!

I was one for 5-6 years (including when I met my husband) and my husband has been one almost all his life. I do eat pretty meatless most of the time but I do indulge in protein for meals not involving my husband.jenhttp://grace-filled.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604080738678475033.post-46309913690867919382012-02-21T17:00:10.863-05:002012-02-21T17:00:10.863-05:00That is interesting how people will give up butter...That is interesting how people will give up butter. Man we go through sooo much butter/margarine it's not FUNNY! I like reading about different things people do during Lent. It makes us all unique but still catholic/christian :)Bstar0306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604080738678475033.post-62562882961199356352012-02-21T12:56:13.690-05:002012-02-21T12:56:13.690-05:00I love the idea of letter writing!
