It's a Girl
Posted by Lisa Hendey in News on Wednesday, March 10, 2010
On Saturday, March 6th the world got just a little bit sweeter with the birth of precious little Maddalena Marie Sansone, the first daughter of Chris and Sarah Sansone. You likely know and love Maddalena’s mommy—Sarah Bauer, the lovely Catholic artist who is the voice behind our Faith & Family Live Cast’s theme song “Radiance”.
I’ve been a Sarah Bauer groupie for years. My love for her music grew... READ MORE
Making Alone Time Good Time

Blaise and I are traveling this weekend. It’s a fun trip, visiting our dear friends who are also his godparents. But - since it involves me being solely responsible for my baby for four days - it’s also an exhausting trip.
Especially since I’m coming off three days of solo-parenting both my children while my husband was on a business trip, I’m just plain tired. I’ve been up since 5:50am with my early-rising... READ MORE
Small Ways to Simplify
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Homemaking on Monday, March 01, 2010
This Thursday, Blaise and I are catching a morning flight for a weekend trip to visit his godparents several states away. We’ve had it planned for months.
Then last week we found out Bryan has to take a business trip this week. He’ll be flying home on a red-eye and landing at 6:00 Thursday morning, just a few hours before my flight takes off.
Fortunately my parents live not too far away, so we’re... READ MORE
Best Baby Gear
Posted by Rachel Balducci in Family on Thursday, February 25, 2010
When Henry was born over two years ago, most of our baby gear was either outdated, overused or just plain gone. It had been five-and-a-half years since my last baby, and most of the items I used for that little guy had gone through three older brothers anyway. My collection was caput.
With baby Henry, the fancy carseat and special swing were now past their prime, and all kinds of other items were... READ MORE
Baby? Toddler? Preschooler?
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Family on Wednesday, February 24, 2010
My Blaise, who is thirteen months old, has made big strides this week. Just days ago he would take three tentative steps from the couch to the coffee table; now he walks boldly across the room unassisted.
Often he falls down. Still, he walks. I guess it’s time to start calling my baby a toddler?
This seems weird to me, because it feels like mere minutes ago that we started referring to Camilla as... READ MORE
It Bites
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Family on Thursday, February 18, 2010
Several times a day I hear Camilla shriek suddenly: “Mama! Blaise BIT me!”
I come running to see her looking outraged and her brother looking toothily unconcerned. Even if he hasn’t left bite marks, I know she’s telling the truth, because I myself am often the victim of those eight sharp little chompers. The baby sinks his incisors into the nearest available surface whenever it pleases him. And boy,... READ MORE
Peek-a-Baby
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Family on Wednesday, February 10, 2010
Dinner was nearly over, but Bryan and I were still finishing our food. Our hopping up multiple times during a meal to refill a milk cup or grab a napkin means that our kids often finish eating before we do, and tonight was no exception. Camilla had already been excused. The baby decided the remaining chunks of shrimp and pasta on his tray held no interest for him. He started grumping.
I could have... READ MORE
First Steps out of Babyhood
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Family on Friday, February 05, 2010
This weekend we’re back in our hometown, visiting family, and I can’t help thinking about Thanksgiving 2007.
We’ve come here dozens of times since then, but that visit was special because Camilla started walking. She was thirteen months old at the time, just taking tentative steps when we left home on Wednesday. By the time we returned on Sunday she was moving quite well on her feet.
This time, it’s... READ MORE

Knowing Your Health Care Options
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Health on Wednesday, February 03, 2010
Yesterday, I went on a “mom field trip” to visit my new friend Genevieve who has the enviable job of “Social Media Coordinator” at our regional children’s hospital, Children’s Hospital of Central California. In her newly created position, Genevieve is using social media sites like Facebook and Twitter to better educate the families of the Central Valley about her hospital, but more importantly about...
