Clip, Clip, Clip?

My sisters put my son’s hair in ponytails.
See the picture? That’s the back of my baby boy’s head, with one pink and one coral colored elastic anchored firmly in his locks. Oddly, he didn’t seem to mind the humiliation, and I thought it was kind of cute.
My sisters don’t want to humiliate my son; they were just trying to make the point that we need to cut Blaise’s hair. It’s long enough to put in... READ MORE
Our First Time Hosting Thanksgiving
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Homemaking on Tuesday, November 24, 2009
For as long as I can remember, my mother has cooked Thanksgiving dinner for our family. She does an excellent (and delicious!) job, too.
But this year my parents are in the process of moving out of the house where they’ve lived for a quarter of a century. My mom’s got enough on her mind, so my sister and I volunteered to cook and host Thanksgiving.
We’re excited about it; we both love to cook and... READ MORE
Oh Boy (or Girl)
Posted by Rachel Balducci in Family on Tuesday, October 13, 2009
So I am officially in my second trimester. Hooray for feeling better!
As we approach sonogram time, I am once again grappling with the tough decision of whether we should find out the gender of our baby. Some people can’t believe this, but Paul and I have never found out the gender at sonogram time—five baby boys and we’ve been surprised every time.
This time, though, I’m really giving it some thought.... READ MORE
Hello! So Happy to be Here!
Posted by Sara Fox Peterson in News on Monday, September 28, 2009
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
What Would You Ask an NFP Expert?
Posted by Danielle Bean in News on Monday, September 21, 2009
I am thrilled to announce that next week CatholicMom.com columnist Sara Fox Peterson will be guest-blogging here with us at Faith & Family. Sara and I have known each other online for many years—even pre-blogging. (Yes, there was a pre-blogging era on the internet.)
Sara has some impressive credentials: She is a wife, a mother, and a certified teacher of the Billings Ovulation Method of Natural Family... READ MORE
How Do I Answer That?
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Family on Monday, August 24, 2009
Blaise and I were traveling this past weekend. In the airports, my sweet baby boy got a number of admiring comments.
Upon hearing that he has a toddler-aged sister at home, many people also made the correct observation that we now have a boy and a girl, and some of them asked the inevitable question: “Are you done having kids now?”
I’m sure this question wouldn’t get Miss Manners’s approval, but... READ MORE
Sick or Feverish
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Health on Tuesday, August 18, 2009
Camilla got sick last night for no apparent reason.
She was fine again afterward, so it wasn’t a bug or food poisoning. She was lying quietly on the couch at the time, so it wasn’t motion sickness or hysteria that caused the problem.
We think maybe she was overheated? Getting sick just because you’re warm seems extreme, but Camilla has always been what I affectionately refer to as a “puker.” My... READ MORE
