Pio Prints: Set the World on Fire

I received a workout tank top from Pio Prints in exchange for an honest review of their product. The opinions shared in this post are my own.

As a mommy, I wear a lot of hats. Chef, accountant, secretary, chauffeur and many more. Wearing all these hats can be difficult but is necessary. I am a mommy and taking care of my family is the biggest blessing the Lord has given me. It is easy to get lost in the responsibilities that come with raising a family. Since we are responsible for so much, it is important that we care for ourselves: mind, body and soul. How can we help raise the future if we are not mindful of the present?

Scripture says:

"Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies."
1 Corinthians 6:19-20

"For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come."
1 Timothy 4:8

Working out is a great way to treat yourself right. It keeps your body working properly, helps eliminate stress and you can experience some of those amazing "feel good" endorphins that are released when you work out. I think the BEST part of working out is the clothing! I love wearing clothes that are comfortable and allow me to move. There are many jokes about people who rock their workout clothes all day long but if you have found something that is comfortable and doesn't get in your way while you are setting the world on fire, I say wear it for as long as you like.

Pio Prints clothing materials are extremely soft and do not "cling" to you while you are moving. The material allows air to circulate and fits nicely. I love that I can wear this to run, lift weights or even to my son's football or soccer games so I can keep up with the team on the field and take pictures. It is versatile and high quality. The "Set the World on Fire" tank has already become my most favorite workout shirt. My husband has been warned because I will definitely be placing an order for some more of these tanks soon!

Inspiration comes in many different forms and these shirts are not only motivational to those who are working out but they also help to spread our beautiful Catholic faith. These could make the perfect gift to share with a First Communicant or someone newly Confirmed. How about just getting one for yourself so you can rock one of your favorite saint's quotes? Pio Prints offers different styles, sizes and a large assortment of quotes to chose. Whatever your reason, you should try this wonderful clothing out at least once. 

If you decide to try out this amazing clothing line, I would love to hear about how much you love it too! Share your #PioPrintSelfie with me. Tag @PinotNoirPrayers and @PioPrints on Instagram! It's only fair that I share my #PioPrintSelfie with you too...so here's mine!

God Bless!

Saint Catherine of Siena

I will probably be flooding my blog with the unfinished posts I have stacking up in my draft box this upcoming week! Just a warning! This week I should be able to get caught up and still with a couple blogs that I have been thinking about doing as well :)

This past Friday was the feast of Saint Catherine of Siena. She is the patron Saint of Italy, Fire Fighters and miscarriages. In honor of Saint Catherine I took the boys for haircuts since she is known for cutting her own hair to keep any man from wanting to marry her because she made a vow to completely dedicate herself to God. It was nice to be able to correlate the story of Saint Catherine with this act because I think these memories of celebrating our faith in our daily lives will ultimately be what my children use as they grow into young men of faith. I wish we could have gone to the Firefighter museum as well but as you can see in the background of Little Man's picture we received more snow and I am still not comfortable driving around in it. We were able to go to Swirly Cow for a frozen yogurt treat to celebrate Little Man's straight A's on his progress report and Goalie's great progress in therapy!

Saint Catherine is such an inspiring saint and she wrote so many inspirational quotes. Some of my favorite are listed below:

"Be who God meant you to be and you will set the world on fire."

"The human heart is always drawn by love."

"Out of darkness is born the light"

"Love transforms one not what one loves."

"Start being brave about everything. Drive out darkness and spread light. Don't look at your weaknesses. Realize instead that in christ crucified you can do everything."

I love that I get a chance to learn more about these amazing saints as I teach my boys about the over abundance of love that God has for all of us and giving them examples of mean and women who did so much to help people realize the immensity of this love.

Saint Catherine, pray for us!
