A Swank New Book

I’m excited to announced (drumroll please) a forthcoming book, featuring several of the Faith and Family Live! writers.
The book is compiled and edited by Hallie Lord of Betty Beguiles fame. Here’s what she has to say about its contents:
In Style, Sex, and Substance: 10 Catholic Women Consider the Things that Really Matter, ten of the top Catholic female writers come together to offer tips, encouragement,... READ MORE

We dive into recent posts by Rachel and Arwen, making reference to a great age appropriate chore list shared by Danielle. How do you handle chores at home? How do you motivate kids to do them well...

Pink Zebra Rosary Beads
Posted by DariaSockey in Reviews on Wednesday, August 10, 2011
I saw this cute rosary at the Catholic Marketing Network Convention last week.
It’s a bestseller from Trendy Traditions, and I believe the name of that company tells everything you want to know about why there should be a hot pink rosary with zebra Our Father beads.
My only frustration at the convention was that most of the merchandise displayed by hundreds of companies was not for sale, but only... READ MORE

Although motherhood is my vocation and I wouldn’t take back one moment, my, ah, upper torso has clearly suffered the effects of nursing lots of babies.
Once I was able to toss the nursing bras for good, the hunt was on for the perfect bra to battle the effects of gravity. I’ve shopped many a lingerie sale at Penneys and Macys over the years. But in the end, there is only one style... READ MORE
Cheap Thrills

I didn’t actually need a summer purse. I had a nice bag in a light color that would go with everytning.
But when I walked past a display of handbags in colorful prints, I started thinking how nice it would be to have something little more fun, a little more summery, a lot less boring than my safe, neutral-toned standby. But not at department store prices.
Luckily, it’s yard sale season. I hit a... READ MORE
My Fashion Find
Posted by DariaSockey in Reviews on Tuesday, May 24, 2011
Since my birthday, anniversary, and Mother’s Day all occur within a few weeks, I usually make it easy on my husband who would be hard pressed to come up with three gifts on his own.
On my birthday this year, after we spent a lovely spring morning hiking and doing lots of nature photography in a nearby state park, we proceeded to an outlet mall where I went on a (restrained) shoppping spree.
One... READ MORE

In May a (young, old or in-between) woman’s thoughts turn to —Sandals!
We need at least 3 pair: the sturdy, everyday equivalent of a jogging shoe; medium heels for any time we want to look good but will be on our feet for an extended period; and high heels for Sunday Mass, dinner dates, and weddings. Thanks to last year’s end of season sales, I already had everything I needed. But ...
While out last... READ MORE
Shawls From Across the World

Our joy this Easter was considerably increased by the presence of my oldest son, William, who is naval intelligence specialist.
He recently completed an assignment in Afghanistan, where he served as an adjunct instructor, teaching Afghani soldiers of various tribal affiliations how to gather and interpret information. William spent much of his free time in the green zone market place, with two excellent... READ MORE

Hello ladies!
The Kentucky Derby is here! Will any of you lovely Kentucky girls be attending (or otherwise celebrating) this weekend? I must admit, being a Southern transplant, I don’t know much about the Derby. The first thing that always comes to mind when I hear it mentioned is ... well, Mint Juleps! Now that’s a tradition I can get behind! 
The second thing that comes to mind is hats! Big, beautiful... READ MORE
Do You Love This Royal Wedding Day?
Posted by AGroup in Just me on Friday, April 29, 2011
Good morning, girls! It’s Royal Wedding Day! How many cups of coffee had you had?
As I write this I still wait with bated breath to see what the lovely Kate Middleton has chosen to wear. Did she play it safe? Or did she take any risks? Is it too much to hope that we might see some flashy stilettos peeking out from underneath that princess gown?
And did you cry? I’m sure I will/did. Not so much because... READ MORE
