A Blogging Sister and a Catholic Traveler
Posted by Lisa Hendey in News on Thursday, October 16, 2008
You know you’re a crazy Catholic Mom when you find yourself recording a Catholic podcast from the front seat of your SUV while running errands!
On this week’s “crazy car Catholic Moments podcast” (click here to listen), I feature two great interviews. Mountain Butorac discusses Catholic travel and his great website The Catholic Traveler. Sister Julie Vieira, IHM shares on her life as a Nun and... READ MORE
Walking in Someone Else’s Shoes
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Just me on Friday, October 10, 2008
As I sit and write this, I am perched on the ninth floor of a high rise library in downtown Chicago.
The space I sit in is stunningly silent, but every few minutes bursts of sound arise from the street below to remind me that outside the window the street below is teeming with humanity.
This week has been interesting. Staying with my sister and her husband in the city has given me a great reminder... READ MORE
Tending Toddlers

This weekend at the Notre Dame football game, I took a stroll down memory lane.
In attendance with our family at the game were my sister Erin, her husband David, and my two nephews Evan (4) and Tyler (2). Erin’s boys are angels, practically perfect in every way! In addition, they are “all boy” like mine were - which translates into constant busyness and lots of physicality.
I’ve forgotten the... READ MORE
The Scene of the Sacrament
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Marriage on Wednesday, October 08, 2008
Part of the joy of visiting Notre Dame this weekend was visiting the Basilica of the Sacred Heart at the University.
On May 31, 1986, I walked down the aisle of this magnificent church, escorted by my parents on either side, and married the love of my life. The Basilica is the church every bride dreams of for her wedding. Stunningly beautiful, the Basilica is the spiritual center of the campus... READ MORE
His Path
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Family on Tuesday, October 07, 2008
For the past few days, I’ve been traveling in the Midwest, visiting with my family in Chicago and taking in the Notre Dame vs. Stanford football game. I thought I’d take the next few days to share a few reflections with you from these adventures.
One of the primary purposes for the trip was to begin the process of looking at colleges with our 17 year old Junior, Eric. And what greater place to start... READ MORE
On the Road

I love being near the water. I grew up in a town on the edge of one of the Great Lakes, and I think there is nothing like it.
If you’ve never seen a Great Lake, they truly are Great. From the shore, one of them looks pretty much like an ocean, and I love to sit and look out over the huge, calm expanse of water.
Currently Bryan, Camilla, and I are on vacation in Pennsylvania, visiting my uncle and... READ MORE
To Grandmother’s House We Go
Posted by Danielle Bean in Family on Wednesday, August 20, 2008
3-year-old Raphael is going to spend two days and one night at his grandmother’s house. The boy is beyond excited about this. In fact, it is all he has been talking about since we made the mistake of telling him it was going to happen almost two weeks ago.
“Is it today?” he asks me every morning. “Is today the day we go to Grandmaman’s house?”
“Not today, sweetie. I will be sure to tell you when it’s... READ MORE
Visiting Bliss
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Family on Saturday, August 09, 2008
My husband and I grew up in the same hometown, about ninety miles from where we live now, and both sets of our parents still live there. Consequently we visit often - we’re here this weekend, actually - and every time we’re here I am reminded how relaxing it can be to visit relatives.
When Camilla was an infant she was quite fussy, and we were in our hometown quite a bit during her early months for... READ MORE
The View from My “Office” This Morning
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Family on Friday, August 08, 2008
Once again, the old age question begs to be asked - “Is it ‘camping’ if you have a wifi connection?” This is the view this morning from my “office” - a lawn chair perched along this cliff in Pacifica at the backside of our 28 foot trailer. The only sounds around me are the waves crashing and the gulls loudly calling to one another. A fine mist covers everything, but I’m warm in front of a toasty... READ MORE
Taking a Mini Pilgrimage
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Faith on Friday, August 01, 2008
Whenever I travel, I love to visit local area churches, cathedrals and shrines. My parents passed along this gift to their five children - many of our family vacations growing up were camping trips to the various California missions. So now, when I travel, I always make time for at least one new church experience. Instead of collecting postcards or magnets, I have a collection of photos of Mary... READ MORE
