Taking Back Pink
Faith and Family Live! | Posted by Lisa Hendey in Health on Monday, October 31, 2011
My Halloween “treat” to myself this year was a trip to my local women’s imaging center for my annual mammogram. I managed to fit it into the month of October, but just barely, and am happy to report that I received a clean bill of health. I don’t know if having had so many treatments and mammos over the past years has dulled my senses, but it even seemed less uncomfortable than past screenings.

Crazy Sock Day
Faith and Family Live! | Posted by Lisa Hendey in Just me on Tuesday, October 25, 2011
A working mom in my life (whose husband is—by the way—a stay at home dad) called me yesterday in a bit of a frenzy. She was headed out to find “crazy socks” for today’s “crazy sock day” that is a part of the Red Ribbon Week at her children’s Catholic school. I told her to stay in her car, drive home, and look through her own sock drawer. A few suggestions I offered were to find mismatched Christmas... READ MORE
Getting ready?

Last night again at Mass, as I read a very helpful document in our parish bulletin on the upcoming changes in the Mass, I was struck by how very quickly this new translation will be a part of our lives.
For those looking for helpful resources, I would point you to the “Welcoming the Roman Missal Third Edition” section of the USCCB website. It is filled with very helpful resources that you can use... READ MORE

We also discuss the need for moms to ask... READ MORE
Handling Wedding Invitations
Faith and Family Live! | Posted by Lisa Hendey in Faith on Tuesday, October 18, 2011
Today at Catholic News Agency, a reader posed an interesting and common question to Fr. Francis J. Hoffman (“Fr. Rocky”):
“My nephew is marrying outside the church; although baptized, he hasn’t been to church in years. Should his Catholic relatives attend? Of course it would cause bad feelings if we don’t.”
I want you to go over and read the eloquent and straightforward response Fr. Rocky gave... READ MORE
Will You GPS Track Your Teens
Faith and Family Live! | Posted by Lisa Hendey in Family on Monday, October 17, 2011
As the mom of a teen driver, this news story about AAA’s new teen safety device caught my attention. Our Adam has been driving for over six months now and is a very responsible driver, but I’ll admit that my curiosity was piqued by a device that will track his routes and speed, that will send me a text alert when he violates traffic laws, and that’s free to Automobile Association members.
But once... READ MORE

Women and Organizations
Faith and Family Live! | Posted by Lisa Hendey in Faith on Tuesday, October 11, 2011
This past weekend, I had the pleasure of speaking at the annual convention for the Winona Diocesan Council of Catholic Women in Worthington, Minnesota. I was with them Friday night when their Executive Board met to go over plans for the upcoming year, and Saturday when their local Bishop installed the new officers. I witnessed scores of women coming together from as far away as six hours, to pray,... READ MORE
Harveen's Brand of Hospitality
Faith and Family Live! | Posted by Lisa Hendey in Homemaking on Monday, October 10, 2011
This weekend, I experienced the power of faith and of hospitality while hanging out with a very cool group of Catholic ladies at the Winona Diocesan Council of Catholic Women’s annual conference. As the “featured” speaker, supposedly I was there to convey information and inspiration to the members who were assembling from ten districts across the southern portion of the state of Minnesota.
But the... READ MORE
