Welcome Guest Blogger Daria Sockey

F&F senior writer will focus on Divine Liturgy

I’m happy to announce that Faith & Family senior writer Daria Sockey will be joining us here at Faith & Family Live for the coming week. After years of enjoying Daria’s contributions in our features section and in Faith & Family magazine, I was thrilled to learn that Daria was launching a blog of her own—Coffee and Canticles, where she shares her love for the Liturgy of the Hours.

Daria will be doing some Liturgy of the Hours blogging here as well. I just know you are going to be blessed by what this veteran Catholic mom and writer has to share. Welcome, Daria! We’re so glad you’re here!


A Week of Rosary Blogging

In which I get to "play" at Faith & Family Live

Hi everyone! It’s an honor and a delight to be guest blogging this week at one of my favorite places on the internet.

A month or so ago, I asked Danielle if I could spend a week doing some rosary blogging here during October, which is the Month of the Rosary (because, you know, y’all don’t hear enough about my devotion to Mary), and she said yes!

A little about me, before I tell you my plan for the... READ MORE 


Special Guest Blogger: Catholic Foodie

Food meets faith this week at Faith & Family

I am so happy to announce our Faith & Family Live guest blogger for the week—Jeff Young, the Catholic Foodie!

I first met Jeff at a conference a little over a year ago and he quickly won me over with his enthusiasm for family, food, and faith. If you aren’t familiar with his work, spend a little time perusing CatholicFoodie.com and you’ll soon see why we’re lucky to have him blogging here with us this week. Jeff’s blogging, podcasting, and recipes are all served up with southern charm and a healthy dose of faith and fun.

Please join me in welcoming Jeff. And ladies, behave yourselves. We do have a man in the house and he’s an excellent cook, but he’s a happily married man. grin

Welcome, Jeff! We’re so glad you’re here!


Matters of the Heart

New Guest Blogger Takes on Catholic Dating

Great news! This week we’ll be welcoming a new guest blogger—Kate Lloyd—a single Catholic woman who will be taking up the topic of dating.

Kate is a 21-year-old political science major at Thomas More College of Liberal Arts in New Hampshire. This summer she is studying in Oxford England, doing several internships, and working. She loves acting, dancing, singing, and spending time with family. In describing her current dating situation, she says, “I am dating a wonderful, sweet guy from my class at college. His name is John and he lives in Maine. I could go on forever about him, so I’ll stop at ‘wonderful.’”

Look for more from Kate this week—I just know you are going to make her feel welcome here!


New Media Guest Blogger

Welcome Melissa Wiley!

I am so happy to announce that we’ll have a special guest blogger this week ...

Welcome Melissa Wiley!

For any of you who have not heard of Melissa (like you there, for instance, the one crawling out from under that rock), she’s the homeschooling mother of six, popular Catholic mom blogger, author of The Martha Years books about Laura Ingalls Wilder’s great-grandmother, Martha Morse Tucker, and The Charlotte Years books, about Laura’s grandmother, Charlotte Tucker Quiner.

She also happens to be a new media maven, and that’s what she’ll be blogging about with us. She’s shared her Catholic iPhone app expertise here with us in the past, and this week she’ll be guiding us through the exciting—but often daunting, confusing, and overwhelming—world of social networking. She’ll help us navigate the basic and not-so-basic aspects of Facebook and Twitter.

How do Catholic moms use these social networks? Why do they? What privacy and courtesy issues should we be aware of when sharing information online? How do we get started?

This week, Melissa will answer all of these questions and more ... Tune in!


Hello! So Happy to be Here!

Sara Fox Peterson: this week's guest blogger

Hello! I am so very pleased to be blogging here for such an interested, thoughtful community—thanks for having me!

NFP is a fascinating intersection of biology (my college major and graduate degree) and theology (my college minor) and although I have been teaching, speaking and writing about it for going on a decade now, I have far from exhausted the topic. Because my space here is somewhat limited... READ MORE 


A Guest Blogger for the Mary Month of May

Meet Sarah Reinhard

I am pleased to announce that this week, Faith and Family Live will feature the talents of Catholic mom blogger Sarah Reinhard.

I am thrilled that Sarah, a self-confessed “Mary geek,” has agreed to spend this last week of May blogging about Mary here with us.

Some of you might recognize this dynamic wife and mother of two from her column at Catholic Exchange, her own popular blog, or her Twitter page.

I’ve grown to know and love Sarah through the faith, love, humor, and devotion to Mary she has shared online over the years, and I just know that you all will be inspired by her Mary-blogging here this week.

Welcome to Faith and Family Live, Sarah! We’re so glad you’re here!
