Grab That Baby!
Faith and Family Live! | Posted by Arwen Mosher in Family on Friday, June 01, 2012
Today I took my kids to the library and managed to keep track of all of them. I’m not sure that will still be possible once Linus and Ambrose can walk.
I’m joking, of course. We do have this lovely invention called a stroller, and it’s quite good at helping you keep track of children if you strap them into it. So we have a solution.
But on the other hand, I always feel sorry for my kids when I stick... READ MORE
Ringing Clear
Faith and Family Live! | Posted by Arwen Mosher in Marriage on Wednesday, May 30, 2012
My 25-year-old unmarried sister reads a lot of blogs (and writes one of her own). She recently complained to me that no one blogs about marriage.
It’s not exactly true - there are plenty of people out there writing about marriage generally, or giving tips on how to improve one’s marriage. But it is true that we don’t blog about marriage the way we do about parenting. The marriage category on this blog,... READ MORE
Talking Truth

Jennifer Fulwiler, who recently witnessed a horrific accident, writes at her NC Register blog about seeing a Catholic counselor to help her process her traumatic experience. She had doubts - would therapy be “misused as a replacement for prayer and trust in God”? - but explains in her piece how she overcame those doubts, and how seeing a counselor is helping her heal.
As someone who has greatly benefitted... READ MORE
Children's Book Book Club
Faith and Family Live! | Posted by Arwen Mosher in Family on Tuesday, May 22, 2012
I love the idea of online book clubs, but in practice they’re hard. Typing up my thoughts about an entire novel takes too much time.
Still, talking about books is fun, and last week as I listened to my sister reading aloud to my children, I realized: children’s books are full of insights, but short enough that you can discuss them in a single post and comments.
An idea was born: how about Children’s... READ MORE

“The richness is in me, in my heart and head, not in my pockets.”
This story about a 52-year-old Albanian refugee who earned a bachelor’s degree from Columbia University - while working as a janitor there - gave me a smile and a lift today. Maybe it will do the same for you.

My husband had a countdown on his phone for months. Every so often he gave me an update. It was a big deal when we hit the halfway point, and three-quarters, and less than two months left. Last week, with mere days to go, I didn’t need updates. I could count for myself.
Linus Michael and Ambrose John were born just after midnight on May 12th last year. Last Saturday, they were one year old. ONE WHOLE... READ MORE
Long Life Love
Faith and Family Live! | Posted by Arwen Mosher in News on Tuesday, May 15, 2012
This weekend I had the joy of being with both my mother and my paternal grandmother (as we call her, “Nana”) on Mother’s Day. I thought it was pretty neat that - with my children present - we had four generations in the room.
But imagine if we had two more than that!
From Charlottesville, Virginia, comes this sweet story: a photographer got the chance to capture six generations of women from a single... READ MORE

Hiccup-curing lollipops?
Seems strange, but 13-year-old Connecticut resident Mallory Kievman has invented them. With the help of a team of MBA students, she’s hoping to get them on the market this year.
The secret ingredient is apparently apple cider vinegar, which sounds like an unhappy flavor for a lollipop. But Mallory - who’s already perfected the formula for the “Hiccupops” - says she’s “tweaking... READ MORE
Cinnamon Bun Joy
Faith and Family Live! | Posted by Arwen Mosher in Food on Wednesday, May 02, 2012
The Pioneer Woman has hers. Many other people have theirs. All get rave reviews from various quarters. And I have a recipe too. I didn’t, like, INVENT it. But I tweaked it to (what I consider to be) perfection, so I thought I’d share.
Cinnamon rolls. Yum! It’s Easter, isn’t it? The season of rejoicing is a great time to make these babies.
I like to make them for Sunday breakfast, because I can do... READ MORE
Going Creative
Faith and Family Live! | Posted by Arwen Mosher in Just me on Tuesday, May 01, 2012
My mother - who’s been crocheting for years - recently took up knitting as well.
I’m happy for her, and not just because of the sweet little hats she makes for my babies. I thought the crocheting was cool too, but the knitting is special because she’s not doing it solo. She’s joined a weekly knitting group, and wow! She seems to be having a lot of fun.
Talking to my mom about it, I see how excited... READ MORE
