A Mother's Saint

Faith and Family Live! | Posted by Lisa Hendey in Faith on Monday, August 27, 2012

Many of us claim her as a personal patron. She’s known for being one of the ultimate “Catholic Moms” - the one who prayed a lifetime for a husband who experienced a deathbed conversion…

the one who never gave up hope for the salvation of a son whose life had given way to debauchery…

the one who went to her deathbed with the words, “Son, nothing in this world now affords me delight. I do not know... READ MORE

What We Learn from the Prince Harry Situation

Faith and Family Live! | Posted by Lisa Hendey in News on Friday, August 24, 2012

If you’ve been tuned into social media this week, you’ve likely heard about the photos that have surfaced of Prince Harry in Las Vegas. If you haven’t, I’m not recommending that you look at news reports featuring the 27 year old prince — the third person in line to the British throne — playing a game of “strip pool” in a Las Vegas luxury hotel suite. You don’t have to look too carefully to find blurry... READ MORE

Lovely, Inside and Out

Yesterday, I shared with you that I spent the weekend in Oklahoma City at the wonderful Women of Faith, Women of Action conference. I want to share a bit about the conference itself. I have been so blessed in recent months to be traveling to several fantastic gatherings of women. This one was no exception.

The conference was sponsored by the Oklahoma City Archdiocesan Council of Catholic Women. Having... READ MORE

Faith and Family Live! | Posted by Lisa Hendey in Faith on Monday, August 20, 2012

This weekend I had the amazing opportunity to pray, worship and learn among a few hundred new friends in Oklahoma City. Tomorrow, I will share about the amazing Women of Faith, Women of Action conference. For today, I want to share with you a wonderful experience I had at Mass yesterday.

A friend and I determined in advance that we wanted to visit the beautiful Cathedral of Our Lady of Perpetual Help.... READ MORE

Back to School…Already?!

Faith and Family Live! | Posted by Lisa Hendey in Family on Thursday, August 16, 2012

It snuck up on me this year in the haze of work-related business and our Eric’s return home from his summer internship in New York City, but yesterday it was unavoidable:

Adam’s first day of his senior year of high school.

Ouch.

Long term readers may remember that I’m notorious for hating the first day of school. One of my best friends makes me an annual “back to school care package” to soothe my... READ MORE

Support a Catholic Speaker

Faith and Family Live! | Posted by Lisa Hendey in Faith on Tuesday, August 14, 2012

If you’re lucky enough to have attended a Catholic conference lately, you’ve likely learned from and been inspired by a phenomenal Catholic speaker. As a matter of fact, our Faith & Family readers were treated recently to an entire day of motivation and spiritual fuel!

Work is underway to support and help publicize the important tasks being done by Catholic speakers. Over at his blog, my good friend Brandon Vogt (a phenomenal speaker, by the way!) has taken the helm on a project... READ MORE

Chore Chart Challenges

Faith and Family Live! | Posted by Lisa Hendey in Homemaking on Monday, August 13, 2012

Today, I received an email from one of my favorite companies for family products—Olliegraphic—with a notice that several of their adorable, customizable products are on a great sale, including their personalized “chore charts”.

(Out of full disclosure, let me share that Olliegraphic is the creative genius of my wonderful sister-in-law Meg. It features tons of adorable, affordable personalized products,... READ MORE

Indispensable Baby Stuff

Faith and Family Live! | Posted by Lisa Hendey in Family on Friday, August 10, 2012

I recently spent several precious days in the company of my first-ever niece, little miss Elsa Beatrice. Of course, I do believe she is the most beautiful eight month old I’ve ever seen—but then again, I’m a bit biased. Our boy-filled family has been waiting for a girl for almost 21 years! My youngest brother Michael and his lovely wife Meg finally delivered the golden child. She’s already Nana’s... READ MORE

Help a Mom become a Faith Teacher

Faith and Family Live! | Posted by Lisa Hendey in Faith on Tuesday, August 07, 2012

Almost every day, I receive emails from moms around the world who are working diligently to become better at their vocations. Many of their questions take me back to experiences I’ve had in my own life and I can offer the perspective of an older mom who’s “been there, done that”. One of the areas where I fall short consistently is with questions related to homeschooling. My boys attended a wonderful... READ MORE

Seeking Peace after a Tragedy

Faith and Family Live! | Posted by Lisa Hendey in Faith on Monday, August 06, 2012

Yesterday’s senseless act of domestic terrorism at a Sikh Temple in Oak Creek, Wisconsin has the nation reeling. With seven dead, including the gunman, and three still critically wounded, many of us are left trying to fathom the horror of someone entering our place of worship and opening fire. As we pray for the Sikh faithful who grieve their loved ones, we follow the lead of Milwaukee Archbishop... READ MORE
