Summary: <br> <a href="http://fountainsofcarrots.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/episodetwelvebonnie.jpg"></a><br> We’re talking all things Lent today with our good friend Bonnie Engstrom, blogger at <a href="http://www.aknottedlife.com">A Knotted Life</a>. We talk about how we approach lent in general, simple ways to help our young kids learn about Lent, how to focus a bit more on prayer as a family, as well as fitting in confession when the kids should be in bed.<br> We cover a lot of ground while laughing a lot so we think this will help ease any Lent-stress you may be feeling as Ash Wednesday looms around the corner.<br> Some things we mentioned in today’s episode:<br> <a href="http://www.whitehouseblackshutters.com/40-bags-in-40-days-2014/">40 Bags in 40 Days Decluttering Challenge at White House Black Shutters</a><br> <a href="http://www.catholicicing.com/printable-lenten-calendar-for-kids/">Printable Lenten Calendar for Kids from Catholic Icing</a><br> <a href="http://www.aknottedlife.com/2013/03/stations-of-cross-box-for-kids.html">Bonnie’s post on making a Stations of the Cross Box for kids</a><br> <a href="http://www.aknottedlife.com/2014/02/getting-ready-for-lent-new-knot-bad.html">Bonnie’s Knot Bad video on getting ready for Lent</a><br> <a href="http://www.carrotsformichaelmas.com/2013/02/06/preparing-for-lent/">Haley’s post, Preparing for Lent</a><br> <a href="http://www.carrotsformichaelmas.com/2014/03/05/bury-the-alleluia-and-other-last-minute-lent-resources/">Haley’s post, Bury the Alleluia</a><br> <a href="http://fountainsofhome.blogspot.ca/2014/03/great-books-for-lent-and-what-i-wore.html">Christy’s post on great books to read for Lent</a><br> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0764816985/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0764816985&linkCode=as2&tag=fountainsofcarrots-20&linkId=XUBPEFUH5IIJQDDX">Lent and Easter Wisdom from G.K.
