Welcome to Faith & Family Live!
Posted by Danielle Bean in Family on Monday, June 30, 2008
This is an exciting day for all of us at Faith & Family magazine, as our long awaited dream of creating a supportive online community for Catholic moms is at last becoming a reality. For almost four years now, I have maintained a daily blog at my own site and I have been overjoyed to see a community of Catholic mothers grow there over the years. I am now blessed with the opportunity to blog here with... READ MORE
Introduction
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Just me on Monday, June 30, 2008
I found blogging in the autumn of 2004. It had been a full year since my husband and I had stopped using NFP to try to avoid conception, and I still wasn’t pregnant. I was worried, and went looking online for a place to talk about our struggles. I found lots of Catholic blogs and lots of infertility blogs, but nothing which bridged the gap, so I started my blog - a “Catholic infertility blog,” I called... READ MORE

Hi everyone! I’m so very happy to be joining you here at the Faith & Family Live! and to be sharing my love of our Catholic faith and my family with you. I thought I’d let you know a little bit more about myself in this first post. Whenever I’m asked in social settings that famous question, “What do you do?” I promptly reply, “I’m a mom!” Having been married for 22 wonderful years to my college sweetheart... READ MORE

Legacy
Posted by Danielle Bean in Family on Wednesday, July 09, 2008
The other day, Dan was cleaning out our outdoor shed and he found an old accordion file of mine. In it were old notebooks with bits and pieces of my writing from the past several years. It was fun to flip through them and find my handwritten notes for essays that wound up being part of my first book or that made their way into other publications in various forms. In that file were also two smaller... READ MORE

EWTN Interview
Posted by Danielle Bean in News on Saturday, July 26, 2008
I was interviewed for EWTN’s Faith & Culture with Colleen Carroll Campbell last fall. It was so long ago, I can hardly remember the details of what we talked about—but I do remember that it was a fun conversation about mom blogs and how Catholic families use the internet.
The interview will be airing this Sunday, July 27 at 10:30 am Eastern and again Wednesday, July 30 at 11 pm Eastern. If you don’t... READ MORE

April: With this issue, Tom and I are celebrating our fifth anniversary. Not our wedding anniversary (that has been more than 15 years!), but our Faith & Family anniversary. It was five years ago that we became the editorial co-directors of the magazine.
To celebrate the current team’s fifth anniversary, we’re giving our readers a gift — a daily multi-blogger website: FaithandFamilyLIVE.com.

Angry Online
Posted by Danielle Bean in News on Monday, August 25, 2008
Anyone who participates in or reads online discussions will find this recent article very helpful.
I’ve seen my fair share of internet discussion explosions, and I have often wondered what merit there can be in having “discussions” or “debates” that so quickly get heated, ugly, and personal—even on Catholic sites.
Too often we lose sight of the fact that there are real people behind our computer... READ MORE
