The Christian Mother - A time to Dance, Jenn Kray’s Story and the Little Flowers Club

Have you ever been plunged into a crossroads in your life and known instantly that this decision would either mean sacrificing something you have loved and devoted your life to…or walking away from a beautiful new future that you can only dimly imagine?

 

That is exactly what my guest Jenn Kray faced. In this episode of The Christian Mother, learn how she dealt with her uncertainties and forged ahead, finding new ways to put her knowledge, skills, and experience in the service of God and her community.

 

As Jenn’s story unfolds, she shares the titles of books that helped her become the Catholic mother she yearned to be, including Around the Year with the von Trapp Family, The Year and Our Children, Raising Good Catholic Children, The Christian Mother, and The Mirror of True Womanhood.

 

Outlining her thoughts on time management, Jenn explains how she incorporates the teaching of life skills into her mothering and homeschooling and how she adapted her housekeeping expectations to the challenges of raising a large family.

 

In the latter part of the show Jenn describes her experience with The Little Flowers Girls’ Club, which is based on the virtues taught in Fr. Lasance’s The Catholic Girls’ Guide and expanded with programming from Behold Publications. Two other websites that Jenn has found useful for providing Catholic materials and/or information are Shower of Roses and Finer Femininity.
