A Happy Bargain
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Family on Friday, July 16, 2010
My husband called this afternoon and told me that he was going to come home from work early, trade his car for my bigger one, and go out and pick up a surprise.
“A surprise?” I asked, thinking quickly about what large items could be exciting for me.
But the surprise wasn’t for me, he told me. It was for Camilla.
Ah! That explained his gleeful tone - my husband loves to delight his little girl.

Baby, Where'd You Get Those Clothes?
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Homemaking on Wednesday, October 21, 2009
Today my son wore ten different items of clothing.
(He’s nine months old. He’s messy.)
And just for curiosity’s sake I figured out how many of those items of clothing we’ve bought for him ourselves.
It’s one. One item - a onesie, to be specific - out of all the clothes Blaise wore the entire day.
That’s about the percentage of his overall wardrobe that we’ve bought for him: 10%. All the rest of his... READ MORE
Slash Your Baking Budget
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Food on Monday, April 20, 2009
I love to celebrate by baking. The taste of a fresh cookie, still warm from the oven, makes it very easy for me to be joyful!
During seasons of feasting like Easter, I find myself reaching often for my bottle of vanilla extract. Every time I open it and inhale its sweet, exotic scent, I think about how much I love the stuff.
I also think about how I’m glad I don’t have to buy bottles of it at full... READ MORE

Online Christmas Deals
Posted by Danielle Bean in News on Tuesday, November 25, 2008
I have never been one to get up at the crack of dawn (or earlier, actually) for the bargains offered by major retailers the day after Thanksgiving.
I prefer to stay home and enjoy a leisurely breakfast of pumpkin pie with coffee (Stop looking at me like that. You know you do it too).
The good news for us “lazy shoppers” is that some major deals can be found online this year.
Amazon has a page devoted... READ MORE

If you are a member of Netflix, you are probably aware that they regularly offer used DVDs for sale at discounted prices.
I’ve just learned that after November 30 of this year, they will no longer be offering this service. If someone on your Christmas list is a movie fan, you might want to check out their available titles now before it’s too late.
PS: If you are looking for a Catholic alternative to Netflix, please consider PiusMedia.com. They offer totally clean and Catholic-themed online DVD rentals for education and entertainment purposes. They support what we do here at Faith and Family with their advertising dollars. Check them out!

Free Family Movies!
Posted by Danielle Bean in News on Sunday, August 03, 2008
Going to the movies during summer vacation can be a lot of fun for kids and their families. But it can also be an expensive form of entertainment—especially for larger families. That’s why it’s so nice to see Regal Entertainment Group offer its annual Free Family Film Festival once again this summer.
When school’s out, kids around the country visit selected Regal theatres for the Free Family Film... READ MORE
