Every Catholic home needs this book

Embarking on "liturgical living" can seem overwhelming when it's put that way, but Kendra Tierney does a great job in making this concept accessible and realistic. She writes with humor and grace, leaving room for each family to decide what works for them right now, and encouraging growth over time. I'm so grateful to have this on my shelf while my kids are still young, and truly appreciate all that I'm learning as I read as well.

Great Read for Those Seeking a Little More

I am so in love with this book!! I have recently been feeling like something was lacking and regular Church obligations was just not enough for our family to strongly grow in our faith. After reading this book, I cannot wait to start liturgical living with my family! I think this was the answer my family was looking for!! The book is extremely relatable, easy to follow, not pushy, and full of great ideas! So blessed to have found this book!

Funny, attainable guide to Catholic family fun

My favorite Catholic blogger wrote a book? How could I resist buying it? And it’s terrific — funny, light-hearted, and chock full of ideas I’m actually going to try. This isn’t one of those books that makes you feel like what you’re doing will never be enough — it’s the kind that says, “just get started; you can do it, and I’m right here with you”! Recommending it to all my Catholic mom friends!
