Robyn Lee is the managing editor of Faith & Family magazine. She is (yikes!) an almost 30 year-old, single lady, living in Connecticut with her two cousins in a small bungalow-style kit house built by her great uncle in the 1950s. She also conveniently lives next door to her sister, brother-in-law and six kids ... and two doors down are her parents. She received her undergraduate degree from Christendom College in Philosophy with a minor in Theology and is currently preparing for her master’s comprehensive exams in dogmatic theology at Holy Apostles College. Besides her Faith and very close (literally) family, she loves spinning in the early a.m., drinking upside down caramel macchiatos, and snacking on chocolate all day long.

Lenten Calendar
Faith and Family Live! | Posted by Robyn Lee in Faith on Tuesday, March 09, 2010
I went over to my sister’s the other day and I noticed the kids’ Lenten calendars on the fridge. I glanced over the daily resolutions.
Handwritten, in each box were little sacrifices or good works: write letter to Pat, no Wii, make my bed, no computer, draw Aunt Robyn a picture (like the one shown here by my niece Fiona).
It reminded me of Lent growing up in my house.
Mom didn’t make dessert very... READ MORE
Faith & Family on the Road
Faith and Family Live! | Posted by Robyn Lee in Just me on Monday, March 01, 2010
I love going to conferences. This past weekend I was blessed to travel with Associate Editor, Lynn Wehner, to the Boston Catholic Women’s Conference (doesn’t our display and table look great?).
I love conferences because all I have to do is show the beauty of the print magazine and it speaks for itself.
Women flip through the magazine and ask, “Why have I never seen this before? This is exactly what... READ MORE
Letters from Guernsey
Faith and Family Live! | Posted by Robyn Lee in Reviews on Wednesday, February 24, 2010
When I heard the name of the book that we were supposed to read for book club, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, I thought it was a joke. What could the book even be about?
As I started to read, I realized the entire book is comprised of letters. At first I was annoyed by the style. I wanted one voice and I was confused by all of the characters, but as the letters continued I was... READ MORE
Bedtime Classics

What is the obsession with Goodnight Moon? I asked over twitter the other night.
I love the immediacy of the internet, because Pat Gohn chimed in with a response: “With G’d Nite Moon it’s all about cadence and happy normalcy. It observes & celebrates all the little things ... like kids do!”
Great answer! But I am still so amazed that this simple little book gets all the rave. I mean really? The... READ MORE
Circle Media Family
Faith and Family Live! | Posted by Robyn Lee in Family on Tuesday, January 26, 2010
Last week Danielle was scheduled to come to Circle Media for the “closing” of the Spring 2010 issue. Not only were we blessed to have Danielle in the office, but also Ambrose, Stephen, and Juliette Bean! Apparently coming to Circle Media is quite the thrill for the Bean children.
Ambrose, Juliette and Stephen attended our long editorial meetings as we chatted about the finalists for the 2009 Writing... READ MORE
Finding Truth
Faith and Family Live! | Posted by Robyn Lee in Faith on Saturday, January 16, 2010
The other night a bunch of us went out to the local Irish pub for some company, fun, and beer of course. The beer was flowing as were the good conversations. At the end of my second beer the conversation shifted to all things religion. I don’t know about you, but it seems the forbidden topics become the topics of choice after a few beers.
The hot topic lately has been about homosexual “marriage.”... READ MORE
When Mom is Sick ...
Faith and Family Live! | Posted by Robyn Lee in Family on Monday, January 11, 2010
If you follow Danielle Bean on facebook and twitter (like I do), you would know that she was feeling under the weather last week. I called Danielle the other night to ask how she was feeling. As we chatted I recalled the times growing up when my mom was sick.
Everything seemed to fall apart when mom was sick. Even as a kid I recognized that things weren’t quite right without mom. “What do you mean... READ MORE

I received a sample of this wallet at one of the product shows that I went to last year, but it has been sitting on my desk. Last night I finally... READ MORE
Fireman Nutcracker Christmas
Faith and Family Live! | Posted by Robyn Lee in Family on Tuesday, December 29, 2009
I love hearing about what people received for Christmas, so I was glad when Danielle asked that question.
The gift that I would like to tell you about is one that was given to my brother Tom.
As I mentioned earlier, my family provides wish lists so shopping for the perfect gift is a little bit easier. My brother Tom, however, refuses to give a wish list. He simply gives his sizes and says “get whatever... READ MORE
Picture Perfect
Faith and Family Live! | Posted by Robyn Lee in Just me on Saturday, December 19, 2009
Like many of you, I am receiving Christmas cards in the mail everyday. I love to look at pictures of the growing families and read the funny newsletters. After receiving a card from The Family Balducci and the Bean Family I thought that I should probaby get going on my Christmas card for this year (it’s not too late, right?)
I like the photos cards better than just the regular cards because they... READ MORE
