Cool! Did you see that Inside Catholic got a makeover (and it’s ongoing)?
They’re doing lots of to make the site more interactive and there are upcoming plans for making its content more accessible from mobile devices. Inside Catholic is one of my favorite news and reading spots online, so I am happy to see them making these changes for the better.

Guess Who Came to Dinner?
Posted by Danielle Bean in Just me on Thursday, June 17, 2010
This morning, Daniel got out of his bed, came downstairs, and squinted at me.
“Where are my friends?” he asked.
He was disappointed when I told him that Arwen and Bryan, Camilla and Blaise left last night.
We were so excited when Arwen emailed earlier this week to let us know she and her family would be coming to New Hampshire and had some time they could spend with us. They stopped by yesterday afternoon... READ MORE

News from the Coop
Posted by Danielle Bean in Family on Wednesday, March 24, 2010
This afternoon I needed to test out a cool new feature that will allow us here at Faith & Family to “moblog.” That is, to blog from a mobile device
such as a smart phone.
Since my glamorous job did not require me to report from any exotic locations today, I figured I’d try blogging from the nearest “hot spot” I could think of—the chicken coop.
My presence caused quite a stir as the ladies gathered around... READ MORE

Beyond Facebook and Twitter
Posted by Melissa Wiley in Reviews on Friday, March 12, 2010
As I’ve shared this week, Facebook and Twitter are the two social networks I use most often. Today I’d like to take a look at some other forms of social media I find useful and fun—and some I don’t use at all.
1) Social media for book lovers
GoodReads is a site that helps you keep track of the books you read. Enter a book title, and you can mark it “read” (past tense), “currently reading,” or even... READ MORE
5 Reasons I Love Twitter
Posted by Melissa Wiley in Reviews on Wednesday, March 10, 2010
1) Speed and Ease.
It’s the fastest, easiest way I’ve found to jot down the funny things my kids say, the delicious moments that flit past so quickly: the things I want to remember forever—but won’t, if I don’t record them. I used to use little slips of paper stuck to the fridge, or notebooks that were never at hand when I needed them. A friend recently referred to these home-life tweets as “the art... READ MORE
