The Veil is So Thin

Last updated on: June 28, 2012 at 12:19 pm By Katrina

Good afternoon, dear readers! I apologize for being a bit absent over the past week – in these summer months, there isn’t much down-time in our household! Between bringing kids to camp, playing countless games of Candy Land and Polly Pockets, and keeping a 2 year-old (who has taken a hiatus from napping this week, ahhh!) out of the endless supply of tasty treats that sits on our kitchen counter, I have not spent much time sitting at the computer....

Princeton professor’s new take on old feminism debate

Last updated on: June 22, 2012 at 10:36 am By Juris Mater

Have you all read this article, “Why Women Still Can’t Have it All”, published Wednesday night in The Atlantic? The author, Anne-Marie Slaughter, is our old pal, the former Dean of Princeton’s Woodrow Wilson School, who just finished a two-year stint under Hillary Clinton in the State Department. This article is at the same time super lengthy and impossible to skim, so just getting through it might challenge your work-life balance–maybe try it with a glass of red wine tonight... Read more

My New Addition

Last updated on: June 21, 2012 at 9:00 pm By Mary Alice

Our family welcomed our son, Teddy, on June 19. I was induced but delivered naturally, thanks to a great team effort. My husband held my hand through all of my contractions, two grandparents were with us and two were taking care of our six children at home, and we felt wonderfully supported. We even got placed with a nurse who was able to keep up with Mr. MA’s sense of humor and give as good as she got! Grace abounded. ... Read more

When Your Child Isn’t The Best

Last updated on: June 20, 2012 at 10:41 pm By Bethany "B-mama"

What do you do when your child is not very good at something? Do you let them continue? Or do you steer them toward activities more suited for their gifts? I started swimming when I was a wee one–swim lessons, private lessons. I sunk like a rock doing backstroke. My freestyle was okay. Butterfly was out of the question. My first summer competing on a summer league, I was always in the third and slowest heat. I swam on the... Read more

Mass Times

Last updated on: June 19, 2012 at 7:32 pm By texasmommy

MaryAlice posted some great vacation tips recently, which included going to Mass when travelling. Our children always think it is neat to go to new churches. The novelty of the space makes for engaged kids and better than average behavior. Yet, the sameness of the Mass across the globe is a reassuring reminder of the universality of the Catholic Church. A phenomenal resource for finding Mass times and locations of Catholic Churches is masstimes.org. We have used this site extensively when... Read more

Dear friends, First, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kind words and fervent prayers throughout the past months, and especially over the past couple of days.

Anastasia Rose

Last updated on: June 13, 2012 at 1:48 pm By Kellie "Red"

I have just returned from Houston. Thank you all so much for praying. Annie’s story is really Katrina’s to tell, so I will be brief here and only share a few details. Annie was born yesterday afternoon. She lived for a few minutes in Katrina’s arms, was baptized by her father, and then passed away. She was surrounded by a multitude of family and friends. The day was a beautiful witness to the dignity and beauty of all human life. ... Read more
