What are you doing for Lent?
It was the question at our homeschool gathering today. I know sometimes we like to (and should if we choose) keep that private. I also realize that the first years I came to understand Lent and participate in it, I was enormously inspired by a few of my Catholic mom friends who were willing to share their ideas.
In response to our conversation today, I posted a few things to our local homeschool yahoo group that I have my eye on for this year.
Here they are- plus a few that came to mind.
I really enjoyed these reflections that were recommended by a friend last year-

As a homeschool mom, this appeals to me. There is a cost involved, but I think it my be just the thing for this tired homeschool mom's soul-

Dynamic Catholic Best Lent Ever
If you have little ones, this is a must. I am not sure of the format now, but we enjoyed these a few years ago. There was a video and a few crosswords or word finds that went with.
