The children's planners are new this year, many of you have been enjoying the free download and voiced the desire to have a printed version. We have answered that request in the Maidens for Mary and Crusaders for Christ children's planners

Maidens for Mary Young Ladies Catholic Lesson Planner features an easy monthly layout for writing down appointments, classes, chores, and other items and then each week also has its own page with 9 subject spaces for writing down lessons completed or for writing lessons out ahead of time for the child to follow themselves and help to teach self regulation and discipline in regards to their daily lesson plans and education. Each week also features a saint quote as well as a new image of Our Lady or another maiden devoted to Our Blessed Mother. There is also a section on the weekly page for keeping track of weekly chores and errands as well as a daily check list for virtue practice. Another section is including for other basic record keeping such as a book reading log and more. For more information on this girls Catholic lesson planner please click here.

Crusader's for Christ Catholic Young Man's Lesson Planner is very similar to the young ladies planner but is designed to appeal to young men. The theme for these planners features a new image of a crusader on each weeks page and has a very knightly design and layout. Otherwise this planner has the same features as the young ladies: monthly calendar, weekly planning pages with daily task list, virtue practice and 9 subject spaces for lesson planning. To view more on all of these planners please visit our new book store site!

Our blog has been a little quite since Lent, Holy Week and Easter as we were busying keeping the season ( or in the case of Lent taking a break to keep the season) but we have also been working not only on these three projects but another exciting adventure for our little family!

Along with the release of the pre-orders on the lesson planners we also opened a book store featuring vintage Catholic reprints of some wonderful books! So many of these books we have reviewed and shared on our site and many of them can be hard to find. Quite a few of them are dated from the late 1800's and early 1900's. True treasures and full of the Catholic faith! We are so excited to be able to share these with you and make them readily available for your enjoyment. The book store may be found by going to www.AllTheSaintsAndPeterAndPaul.com and clicking on the book store tab to the top right.

We are still in the process of growing our selection so please check back weekly to see what is new. We are adding an average of one new title a day. To keep up on the new selections without the hassle please sign up for our e-newsletter that will come out once a month. The link to sign  sign up for the All The Saints and Peter & Paul Newsletter is here or you can also find it on our main book store site at the bottom right of the page.

Many different subject matters are covered in the book selections but special attention has been given to educational books as well as books on motherhood as we understand that our readers (of this blog) seek those sort of books out most and they can be hard to find. Please if there is a topic you feel is missing or a subject that you have been searching for let us know by emailing us.

We are so excited to have the new Children's planner design in the works! We thought we would give you a sneak peak at what the printed planners will look like this coming spring. If you haven't already seen the newest updates on the Holy Simplicity Planner take a gander over on our main Holy Simplicity Planner page. 

The Maiden's for Mary Catholic Young Ladies Planner features a different holy card of Our Blessed Mother, her symbols and various female Catholic Saints. With a new quote for every week on the top. Some very girly colors and lots of room for planning with space for 9 subjects, a daily checklist and virtue checklist. There will be some extra planning sheets as well for various things like a book log, report card etc.

Our Crusader's for Christ Young Gentlemen's Lesson Planner is very 'manly' or rather young manly. With a nice parchment scroll at the top featuring the quote for the week. A picture of Crusader's wearing their knightly armor. And all the other lovely things contained in the Maiden's for Mary planner as well. These brightly colored planners are sure to be a hit for any child in grades ranging from 3rd on up to 8th grade. Stay tuned, we should have more details soon!

Our "little" project is growing! We continue to add to our Life of our Savior and Life of the Soul pages weekly. There are many, many coloring pages with many more to come. Next week we should have several coloring pages on Our Lord's passion and death with some on Easter to follow. We also added a coloring page for Ash Wednesday on our Lent page. Make sure to check them all out and keep coming back to see what is new. 

March and April's children's planner pages are also up, including some exciting news to go with them! Starting in May we will be offering a printed planner for sale for both the Maiden's for Mary and Crusader's for Christ planners. That is in addition to the Holy Simplicity planner in which we will start taking pre-orders for PRINTED VERSIONS! Those pre-orders are expected to start late April or early May. If you have suggestions for any of these planners, things you like, would like to see changed etc. Please leave us a comment at the bottom of this blog post. We are more than happy to accommodate where we can and make these planners easier to use and the most productive for students and teachers.

We pray that you are having a wonderful week and contemplating plans for the Lenten season.

I need to make a correction to the Liturgical Year Bulletin Board saints for January as well as the Holy Simplicity planner. The Feast of the Holy Family is a moveable feast and so we will provide an undated piece for the Liturgical Year Bulletin Board (date will be written in with dry erase marker) and a substitute piece for the current Jan. 8th piece.

The date is also incorrect in the Holy Simplicity Planner, it is noted there as on the 12th of this month when it should be on the 13th. My apologies for this error and we will put up another post when the new pieces are available. A blessed Octave of the Epiphany to you all!

"The Feast of the Holy Family is a greater-double and celebrated on the Sunday within the octave of the Epiphany.  If this Sunday falls on the Octave Day, the feast is kept on the Saturday before, Jan 12, with the same commemoration of the Sunday and of the Octave."

We are getting ready to make the next school years lesson planner and need you comments! We will continue to offer the PDF version of Holy Simplicity for free in the next coming year, as well as the rest of this year. We would also like to offer an affordable printed version as some people don't have a printer or prefer it to be printed and bound for them. What would you preference be? A paid for printed version between $20-$30 or the PDF version which you would print on your own? Please share your opinion in the pull below and feel free to leave us some notes in the comment area.
