Blessings in Disguise
Posted by Danielle Bean in News on Saturday, September 17, 2011
Faith & Family senior writer Lori Hadacek Chaplin writes:
“This spring our baby, Maximilian, was diagnosed with a birth defect called Craniosynostosis. At 6 months, he had surgery and he now wears a helmet.
This was a very trying time for our family. However, there were many blessings that came about because of his birth defect. I’m looking to interview three mothers who have also had unsuspected blessings that came about because their child was/is seriously ill or has a birth defect for an article that will be published in Faith & Family magazine.”
If you have something to share with Lori, please leave a comment here with your email address (won’t be published) in the comment form or send me a note at editor@faithandfamilylive.com and I will see that it gets to her. Thanks!

Posted by Lisa Hendey in Just me on Friday, February 25, 2011
While on our recent trip, Greg and I asked for the bill after a meal at a little cantina and it was presented on the little digital tray-thingy you see pictured here. My husband declared me a “geek” when I grabbed my iPhone and took a photo of the tray-thingy…but I recognize a blog post in the making when I see one! The tray-thingy was in fact a high tech feedback system, asking us to provide an... READ MORE

I am pleased to share the news that I will be serving as a panelist in the On Faith section of the Washington Post.
Today I have a column up where I take on Jennifer Aniston’s recent dismissive comments about the importance of fathers. I hope you’ll come check me out in this new spot and consider leaving some thoughtful feedback from a Catholic perspective.
