Web Wednesday: The Lenten Edition #1

Alright, alright! Technically, last Wednesday should have been the first Lenten edition, but I was too busy going to church and other things and avoiding food to even consider getting online.  The big danger was I'd end up on pinterest (or worse, Facebook) and start looking at food.  And the last thing a fasting person needs is pictures of food. [And I thought it rather cruel that our priest mentioned PRIME RIB during Ash Wednesday services... I still have a hankering for it!]

Things are still evolving here at Casa Awesomeness with regard to our Lenten decorations and activities.  I have to admit, now that I'm not on Facebook, I've replaced some of that distracted time with reading Catholic blogs and have found some fantastic inspiration.  No... you don't have to be Catholic to read the blogs... there's no blood test.  However, reading blogs from other Moms, regardless of denomination, is always inspiring to me.  So here are a few Web finds...

• Catholic Icing:  Almsgiving Lenten Idea for kids... and YES, I do now have an almsgiving box.  It's soo easy!
• Three-Sided Wheel:  Keeping Lent Holy::Lenten Mantel... and YES, I do now have a Lenten display (and no it's not the mantel, because my mantel is too skinny)!  I did not do the candles, either, since the we are doing Stations of the Cross at School each Friday in Lent.
• I'm kinda having fun this week surfing around Home Ec-101.  Why?  I dunno, maybe I can become the perfect housewife if I knew more about managing a home. That's my theory anyway... we wouldn't want to admit that going to bed at a reasonable hour might have something to do with why I'm tired ALL  day long, begging for a nap and avoiding housework because it seems like too much work (it's always a little humbling when I admit that it really only too 3 minutes to clean out the dishwasher when the mental dialogue to convince myself to do it took 45 minutes!).

I guess... those are my three choice "found on the web" websites this week.  Enjoy...
