Today for Lent

The Lenten season is here! I feel like a real Catholic, having lived it up during Mardi Gras last week. :-) My family is now on year seven of using our “Today for Lent” cards.  Each one has a prayer, act of kindness or a simple sacrifice and it has proven to be a wonderful, tangible way to bring Lent and Easter into our home every day.

You can find the free printable cards HERE >>> Today for Lent.  The first pages include our cards, and the last page is blank should you like to make your own.  Last year I pulled out 8 of the 40 that we had outgrown. We will go through them again to see if anyone has a new idea to contribute.

As far as what we are giving up, we are going to work very hard to give up plastic. I feel like we’ve become terrible at using zip locks, water bottles, forgetting the reusable shopping bags, etc. A friend posted the idea and it immediately struck home! So, as a family, we will be reducing our plastic footprint and hopefully making some new good habits.

How are you living Lent this year?
