Good news! We here at Faith & Family Live! are pleased to announce that Matthew Archbold from Creative Minority Report will be guest-blogging with us this week.
If you aren’t already familiar with Matthew’s work, you soon will become a fan of his faith-filled, humorous approach to news, politics, family life, and the world at large. Look for his first post tomorrow—I just know you all are going to make him feel at home here with us this week.
Welcome, Matt!
Peanut Recall
Posted by Rachel Balducci in Family on Monday, January 26, 2009
More products have recently been added to the list of foods possibly contaminated by salmonella from a Georgia peanut butter plant.
A few weeks ago, I bought a very large package of Austin Crackers from our local Sam’s Club, and today in the mail I received a letter advising me to return the crackers to the store for a full refund. Unfortunately, those crackers are long gone. By the time I started... READ MORE
More Dolls
Posted by Danielle Bean in News on Wednesday, January 14, 2009
When National Catholic Register senior editor Dave Pearson emailed me a link to a story about grown women playing with dolls, he thought it was cutting edge family-related weirdness.
Little did he know, that we here at Faith and Family have been covering the women and the dolls they play with story since October.
At any rate, I’d be neglecting some kind of journalistic duty if I did not report this follow-up. This is a different story about different women with different dolls. Weirder even than the first. Also with video. Do enjoy.
Friday Finds
Posted by Rachel Balducci in Family on Friday, November 21, 2008
A few weeks ago, my sister came home from the grocery store quite excited. While shopping, she had stumbled upon an incredible sale—her favorite high-efficiency laundry detergent for just $1.99.
She shared the news with me, and while we were taking a walk together, I heard her tell a friend and later tell her mother-in-law.
Good news is so fun to share!
It’s funny how simple little details can really... READ MORE

Pope Benedict XVI Visits France
Posted by Lisa Hendey in News on Saturday, September 13, 2008
Yesterday marked the first day of Pope Benedict XVI’s journey to France to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Lourdes.
Catholic News Service offered an account of the Pope’s encouraging visit at the Cathedral of Notre Dame here. I was moved by the following comments, made by the Pope to the young people of Paris who had flocked to the exterior of the Cathedral to see him:
“Always cultivate a thirst for the word of God. Thus you will learn to love everyone you meet along life’s journey. In the church, everyone has a place, everyone.”
EWTN will be offering live coverage of Pope Benedict XVI’s apostolic journey on their website. Watching these special addresses and masses unfold brings back wonderful memories of his recent visit to the United States and should be a great way to observe this special anniversary year.
UPDATE: Check out great photos and video at our sister site Pope2008.com too!
Pausing to Remember
Posted by Lisa Hendey in News on Thursday, September 11, 2008
At our Catholic school today, the children are invited to wear patriotic colors and will pause for a campus prayer ceremony in remembrance of those impacted by the tragedies on September 11, 2001.
I remember the morning of the attacks, watching the events unfold live on the television with disbelief. I had been up early that morning working in the California predawn hours when a friend sent me the... READ MORE
