I’ve had the privilege of knowing and working with Faith & Family‘s associate editor Lynn Wehner for years. And now I am pleased to announce that Faith & Family will be sharing the wealth with you, as Lynn has agreed to do some blogging here with us at Faith & Family Live.

You have probably already read some of her writing here and in the magazine, but you can find out a little bit more about this smart, fun, dynamic, and faith-filled mom of four at her F&F page. Look for her first post sometime tomorrow—and let’s give her a Faith & Family welcome!


Special Guest Blogger: Catholic Foodie

Food meets faith this week at Faith & Family

I am so happy to announce our Faith & Family Live guest blogger for the week—Jeff Young, the Catholic Foodie!

I first met Jeff at a conference a little over a year ago and he quickly won me over with his enthusiasm for family, food, and faith. If you aren’t familiar with his work, spend a little time perusing CatholicFoodie.com and you’ll soon see why we’re lucky to have him blogging here with us this week. Jeff’s blogging, podcasting, and recipes are all served up with southern charm and a healthy dose of faith and fun.

Please join me in welcoming Jeff. And ladies, behave yourselves. We do have a man in the house and he’s an excellent cook, but he’s a happily married man. grin

Welcome, Jeff! We’re so glad you’re here!


New Media Guest Blogger

Welcome Melissa Wiley!

I am so happy to announce that we’ll have a special guest blogger this week ...

Welcome Melissa Wiley!

For any of you who have not heard of Melissa (like you there, for instance, the one crawling out from under that rock), she’s the homeschooling mother of six, popular Catholic mom blogger, author of The Martha Years books about Laura Ingalls Wilder’s great-grandmother, Martha Morse Tucker, and The Charlotte Years books, about Laura’s grandmother, Charlotte Tucker Quiner.

She also happens to be a new media maven, and that’s what she’ll be blogging about with us. She’s shared her Catholic iPhone app expertise here with us in the past, and this week she’ll be guiding us through the exciting—but often daunting, confusing, and overwhelming—world of social networking. She’ll help us navigate the basic and not-so-basic aspects of Facebook and Twitter.

How do Catholic moms use these social networks? Why do they? What privacy and courtesy issues should we be aware of when sharing information online? How do we get started?

This week, Melissa will answer all of these questions and more ... Tune in!
