There In Our Midst

We women need each other

Oh my GOODNESS, what an amazing experience it was hosting our first-ever Faith & Family Mom’s Day Away on Saturday!

I hardly slept the night before, so filled was my head with “What if’s” and “If only’s.” But I should have known better than to fret about anything. The fact is, the women who read and support Faith & Family are amazingly positive people. With a crowd of Faith & Family supporters (and... READ MORE 


Don't Miss Out

Upcoming ... Spring 2011 Issue of Faith & Family Magazine

This is a photo of last year’s spring issue of Faith & Family magazine, but I have to tell you ... I am so excited to share this year’s spring issue with you!

But are you a subscriber?

When I made a plea for subscription support earlier this month, I shared with you that, after all the turmoil of our recent transition of ownership, we need your support now more than ever. And subscription sales are the best way you can give Faith & Family your support.

I really don’t want any of you to miss our spring issue this year, which has a unique and beautifully meaningful cover (Can’t wait for you to see it!) and is our first-ever themed issue ... Won’t you consider purchasing a subscription today? Or renewing your subscription? Or surprising a friend with a gift?

The Spring 2011 issue will be in homes the first week of May. Don’t miss your chance to receive your copy of the very next Faith & Family!


Faith & Family Needs You

Are you a subscriber?

Here at Faith & Family, our transition to new ownership is complete, but our work has just begun. As a direct result of the tumult of the transition process, the magazine and website took some hard hits in recent months. I am firmly committed to serving Catholic moms and families through our work here at Faith & Family, but I will need your support in order to succeed.

We don’t make money here online. Ads help to defray some of our costs, but Faith & Family Live and Faith & Family Connect are a service we are able to provide for our readers only if they are financially backed by subscription sales of Faith & Family magazine.

We have been hard at work on our spring issue and I am so excited to share it with you. If you appreciate what we do here at Faith & Family Live, won’t you consider supporting it by renewing or purchasing a subscription to the magazine? Or share the love! Perhaps there is a friend you would like to surprise with a gift subscription to Faith & Family?

Your support is what makes Faith & Family possible. I hope that you will consider giving us the shot in the arm and vote of confidence we need by subscribing today. Thank you!


Faith & Family Subscription Information

Thanks for your support!

In light of our recent exciting news about changes going on here at Faith & Family, some of you have been asking about purchasing subscriptions to Faith & Family magazine for yourselves and others.

First of all, THANK YOU for asking! To keep us going through this transition, the magazine and website need your support more than ever. Knowing this, it has pained me to leave our subscription links broken on the site for so many weeks as we transitioned to new ownership. Please bear with us as we are still updating some of the links on the site, but the links for subscriptions and gift subscriptions on this page are updated and working.

Some readers have also asked about the status of our next issue. I am pleased to tell you that current subscribers will suffer no lapse in service. The transition has delayed production of our Spring 2011 issue, but it will in fact be published and mailed in late April to arrive in mailboxes in early May.

I am overjoyed to have this opportunity to continue to serve Faith & Family readers through our print publication. If you appreciate what we do here online, I hope that you will consider purchasing a magazine subscription as a means of supporting our work. Thank you!


Mom's Day Away Thank You & Reminder

We want to meet YOU!

Are you coming to the Faith & Family Mom’s Day Away on April 2?

Well, what are you waiting for? Seats are limited and now’s the time to make your plans and register!

I want to thank our sponsor, BibleToys.com, for making this event possible. BibleToys.com supports the Faith & Family mission of serving Catholic families and bringing them closer to Christ. Because of their generosity, we are able to provide this special day of encouragement and rejuvenation just for moms.

I hope we’ll see you there!


Faith & Family Live ... In Person

Come to our Mom's Day Away in April!

We at Faith & Family have been working hard behind the scenes to hammer out the details of our first-ever Faith & Family Mom’s Day Away brought to you by BibleToys.com.

Save the date: April 2, 2011

This event, to be held at St. Patrick’s Parish in Stoneham, Massachusetts, will be a special gathering of Catholic moms for the purpose of refreshing our minds, bodies, and souls with friendship, prayer, and inspiration.

In addition to talks given by Jennifer Fulwiler, Rachel Balducci, and me, there will also be opportunities for socialization, personal prayer, and access to Mass, confession, and (we’re working on it!) adoration. We will enjoy a catered lunch, book signings, and select vendors.

We are really excited about the opportunity to gather as a Faith & Family family in this way. Our Mom’s Day Away online registration form (which we will update with schedules and other details as they become available) is ready to take your registration.

Seating is limited for this first-ever Faith & Family event. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to feed your soul and revitalize your commitment to your vocation as a Catholic wife and mother.

We look forward to meeting YOU!

(Get all the details at our registration page)


Post-partum Support

helping each other through

Having a baby is tough. Yes it’s wonderful and sacred and a gift from God. It’s a beautiful time that is full of grace and wonder.

But also, it’s tough.

I’ve been reflecting lately, as my sweet baby girl nears her ten month mark, that I’m finally starting to feel like myself again. All these months later, I am finding my stride, remembering that daily household living isn’t always as intense as when... READ MORE 


Support Good Habits

Can you help?

I’ve seen some creative uses of Catholic new media lately, but few intrigued me as much as the website SupportGoodHabits.org.  The website and it’s companion Twitter feed are the creative efforts of Anna and Amanda, two young ladies who are sharing their journey towards religious vocations.

Both are currently working full time and involved in a variety of service efforts and living at the Kolbe House... READ MORE 


Watching the Cliffs

I first saw the story on my daughter’s blog. She called the man a hero — and she’s right.

Australian Don Ritchie watches the nearby cliffs from his home overlooking Sydney Harbor. According to reports from earlier this year and a powerful new piece that just appeared in LifeSiteNews, this retired gentleman has saved at least 160 people from a leap that would end their lives.

How does he do it? He... READ MORE 


You Can't Judge a Mom By Her Purse

and other observations of the good and the bad of online communication

I usually don’t respond. I usually take the advice that I offer sensitive fellow bloggers all the time, and choose instead to be “above it all.”

But this time I feel compelled to respond to a combox conversation. Because I think the interaction in this particular circumstance demonstrates something much larger and more important than my own precious feelings or the nastiness of petty comments.

Because... READ MORE
