Sensational Smoothies
When it comes to making healthy snacks, on-the-go breakfasts, and summertime treats, a blender is this mom’s best friend.

I have been thinking lately about housework and we women who avoid it, let it pile up, feel stressed about it, look for shortcuts to handle it, and ignore it until we find ourselves shouting at it and all around it, and I have all too often come to this conclusion:

In a special “extra” episode of Catholic Moments (click here to listen), I chat with our wonderful bloggers from Faith and Family Live - Danielle Bean, Rebecca Teti and Arwen Mosher.
Our conversation ranges from Back to School, to getting everything done around our homes (or not!), to how to share the faith with and catechize our children in our homes. Since we missed out on having Rachel join us, we’ll have to get together again soon and would love your ideas for topics! Share your feedback at 206-339-9272, comment here on the blog or email lisa@catholicmom.com.

In case anyone’s been wondering how my laundry project turned out, I am officially declaring it a success. Today I emptied my laundry room floor of piles for the second week in a row, and I’m confident that I’ll be able to keep this up for the foreseeable future, barring any unexpected catastrophes.
(And yes, okay, the birth of our new baby in February is probably going to put a temporary crimp... READ MORE
