Found: The Perfect Shoe
Rachel Raves: where Rachel shares her fashion finds
Posted by Rachel Balducci in Reviews on Monday, June 30, 2008
I’d like to give a brief shout-out to the much-appreciated birthday gift my husband got me this year – a pair of these amazing shoes: Chacos sandals!
I know, I know. Can shoes really be that amazing? Yes, they CAN.
I love these shoes for a variety of reasons, but since I’m guessing a good number of you may already have a glazed over look from these first few sentences, I’ll keep this brief.

If your children like praise and worship music, I can’t recommend this CD highly enough. It’s the best Catholic kids worship album I’ve heard, and it includes both familiar and original songs. With inspiring vocals and rousing instrumentals by Christ Music Kids, it will energize your entire family. The album would make the perfect accompaniment to a Vacation... READ MORE

One Twos & Threes
Posted by Lori Hadacek Chaplin in Features on Monday, July 14, 2008
During the toddler years, milestones — like learning to walk, talk, potty train, imagine, play, and pray — seem like little miracles to parents. When Faith & Family asked me to take on the assignment of putting together this issue’s Toddler Guide, I was happy to do so, and I've spent the last year trying out products with the help of my personal tester — my own 2-year-old, Gemma. Enjoy these early... READ MORE
Shopping with Boys
Posted by Rachel Balducci in Family on Wednesday, July 16, 2008
Today is baby Henry’s first birthday. Hooray, Henry!
Tonight we are celebrating with a cookout at the pool we frequent, and as part of our preparations this morning I loaded up the boys to go pick out a gift and a few more items for the party. As Henry is our fifth son, I had a very hard time figuring out what present to get him. Everything we considered, I could basically fast-forward several months... READ MORE
Budget Food Shopping
Posted by Danielle Bean in Food on Monday, July 21, 2008
In an effort to stick to my family food budget, I have been going for longer stretches of time between grocery shopping trips. Shopping a couple of times a week wastes gas, time, and money, I have found. Shopping just once a week, though, requires a bit of planning. And some getting used to.
In the final days of the week before I go shopping, food choices get a little ... creative around here. And... READ MORE

Good Day
Posted by Danielle Bean in Family on Monday, July 28, 2008
The other day, I brought along Raphael and Gabby when I went out to run a few errands.
When I had to wait in line at the gas station for a solid 20 minutes for the privilege of paying almost $4.00 per gallon, I was annoyed.
When my pint-sized companions fought over whose turn it was to sit in the front of the grocery cart, I was bothered.
When I loaded the groceries into the van, buckled the... READ MORE
Clean Slate
Posted by Rachel Balducci in Homemaking on Wednesday, July 30, 2008
This morning, we are off to the grocery store.
I’ve been putting off shopping for as long as possible for a variety of reasons. For one thing, I prefer to go without the big boys, whom I love dearly despite the extra money they cost me when we shop together. As they are at a local basketball camp this week, the timing seems right. I’ve also put off going because I need to make a menu (a challenge... READ MORE
