When I Grow Up
Faith and Family Live! | Posted by Lisa Hendey in Just me on Wednesday, November 19, 2008
I’m feeling a bit blue this afternoon, as I just delivered my mom to the airport after a fun packed two week visit. I’m missing her already, and her flight has just departed!
Unlike those of you with family close by, my family is scattered all over the country. Nana and Gramps currently reside in Gulfport, Mississippi, so her visits are precious times. I can mark the passing of the years by looking... READ MORE
What Would You Take?

This past weekend, my mom and I visited Southern California and spent Saturday at Disneyland. I hope to share a few photos of our trip this week, but today, a more serious topic is on my heart.
As you’ve likely heard, horrific wildfires are ravaging Southern California this week. The picture you see here was taken at Disneyland on Saturday - although we were a safe distance from the fire, the... READ MORE
Capturing Family Memories
Faith and Family Live! | Posted by Lisa Hendey in Family on Saturday, November 15, 2008
At Real Simple this month, they are offering a free download and an article entitled “Get to Know Your Family and Friends Better”.
With the holidays approaching, many of us will find ourselves in the midst of extended family and friends. In true “Martha and Mary” fashion, we’ll likely find ourselves torn between the tasks of hospitality and serving, and the desire to spend quality time with our... READ MORE
Disney DOs and DON’Ts

As you read this, my mom and I will be traveling five hours south of my home in Fresno to spend Saturday at Disneyland with my brother, his wife and my adorable nephews.
Even though I live within driving distance of the “happiest place on earth”, it’s been several years since I last visited Disneyland. We made a few trips to Disneyworld in Florida around in the late nineties and in 2000 for medical... READ MORE

Does Your Thanksgiving Look Like This?
Faith and Family Live! | Posted by Lisa Hendey in Family on Wednesday, November 12, 2008
The good folks over at Catholic Media House are sharing some of their most popular videos online and this little ditty about Thanksgiving had me laughing so hard I almost cried!
A Thanksgiving Moment from Catholic Media House on Vimeo.
In our family, my Daddy was always responsible for cooking the Thanksgiving dinner. But somehow, that tradition has not trickled down to his sons-in-law. So for... READ MORE
Remembering our Vets
Faith and Family Live! | Posted by Lisa Hendey in News on Tuesday, November 11, 2008
Today, we recall the tremendous service and sacrifice of so many men and women who have courageously and valiantly served in the United States military.
More than just a day off of school or work, today should be a day of prayer, commemoration and thankfulness. As families, this is the perfect day to commemorate our vets in a special way. A few ideas for you and your family might include:

It’s All Good!
Faith and Family Live! | Posted by Lisa Hendey in Reviews on Saturday, November 08, 2008
I am a huge Ceili Rain fan - I fell in love with them last year when I saw them perform live in Anaheim. I love their Irish influenced tunes, their energy and their lyrics. In today’s song, lead singer Bob Halligan Jr. recognizes God’s goodness in the events of his life. If you have a chance, head over to the Ceili Rain website for more incredible music videos. This particular song always reminds me to pause and to see God’s handiwork with appreciative eyes - He does good in my life every day! In this month where we contemplate thankfulness, for what blessings are you thankful to God today in your life?
One for the Road
Faith and Family Live! | Posted by Lisa Hendey in Faith on Saturday, November 08, 2008
Danielle’s and Awen’s posts this week have me thinking about places our family prays together.
Family prayers prior to mealtime and at bedtime are standards, but so is our morning drive time prayer. As we pull away from the driveway, the boys and I reflexively recite our morning prayers, an Our Father and simple spontaneous prayers of thanksgiving and for intercession in particular situations. ...

Nana on the Scene
Faith and Family Live! | Posted by Lisa Hendey in Just me on Friday, November 07, 2008
Lucky me! My mom arrived for an extended visit on Wednesday and my home is already looking and running more smoothly, plus I’m a much happier camper.
Let me preface this by saying the my parents now live in Gulfport, Mississippi, so these visits feel very few and far between. But the good news is that when my mom comes, she stays for a few weeks so it’s a nice, long time together. Somehow, it... READ MORE
