In Conversation With Archbishop Chaput
Posted by Rebecca Teti in Reviews on Thursday, September 25, 2008 5:00 PM
When you have a little time—perhaps over the weekend—I think you’ll enjoy this video interview with Denver’s Archbishop Chaput.
It’s part of the Uncommon Knowledge series (which I consider one of the undiscovered treasures of the web) conducted by Peter Robinson of the Hoover Institution.
Since he’s not limited to three minutes, Robinson can really delve into a topic with whoever he’s talking to... READ MORE
Date Night Movie
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Reviews on Wednesday, September 24, 2008 12:00 PM
In just a few short days, we have the perfect opportunity to send Hollywood a message that you and I are ready and willing to support a certain type of movie.
It’s not the latest blockbuster, or an R rated romp, but rather a nice, clean movie with a solid message. It only has one “name” star - and some of us had a crush on him in the 80’s.
No one gets killed, no aliens land on earth, and no one uses... READ MORE
A Song for Saturday
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Reviews on Saturday, September 20, 2008 12:00 PM
In my ongoing mission to help spread the word about the great work being done by Catholic musicians, I thought I’d share one of my favorite songs with you today. The song is “Radiance”, the title track from the latest CD by Sarah Bauer.
From the very first time I heard this song, I absolutely loved it. It’s representative of Sarah’s upbeat, infectious style of music - when you listen to it you... READ MORE
Fuzion Scooter Giveaway
Posted by Danielle Bean in Reviews on Friday, September 19, 2008 6:00 AM
When Fuzion asked if my kids would like to try out one of their new Electron scooters, I was pretty sure they’d be game. And when they asked if Faith & Family Live! readers would like a chance to win one for themselves, I was pretty sure you’d be game too.
I’d like to tell you the Fuzion Scooter was a cinch to put together, but I can’t be sure. It took my husband less than 30 minutes, but he’s a genius.... READ MORE

There are less than three days remaining before the release of Brisingr
But if your kids are anything like mine, you don’t need me to tell you that. You have probably already pre-ordered your copy and are eagerly awaiting its arrival. Perhaps you have already located a Brinsingr release party near you and... READ MORE
Up Next: Lip Gloss!
Posted by Rachel Balducci in Reviews on Tuesday, September 16, 2008 7:54 PM
Today, my contribution to this little corner of the world is not the most profound thing you will see all day. BUT, it must be mentioned. Because it’s a topic of importance, perhaps not of utmost importance but worth discussing nonetheless.
The topic is lip gloss, and my opinion is you should try some.
Today I grabbed this little tube of hydrating, natural gloss. I will admit I have long been a sucker... READ MORE
Marie’s Music
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Reviews on Saturday, September 13, 2008 12:00 PM
If you haven’t already discovered the fabulous music of Marie Bellet, you owe it to yourself to take the next five minutes and treat yourself to this video.
I love all of Marie’s songs, but this one, Ordinary Time, has always been my particular favorite. It’s always moved me to tears, and the addition of video footage makes it even more poignant. Enjoy!

Popcorn!
Posted by Rachel Balducci in Reviews on Monday, August 25, 2008 8:00 AM
A few months ago, I noticed two things – one, that microwavable popcorn was always on my grocery list, and two, that microwavable popcorn isn’t cheap.
So I started doing a little research and decided we’d start popping corn on our own. I was so pleased to buy the five-dollar bag of kernels that I was confident I’d left the world of nuked popcorn behind. We would now have unlimited bowls of popcorn,... READ MORE
