Have you hosted a great themed party recently?
We have a feature in Faith & Family magazine called Party Planners where we showcase a real party (usually a child’s birthday, but other themed parties work as well) put on by a real Catholic family. We like to have a few photos as well as a bit of information about the party’s theme. If you have a party that you think might qualify and would like us to consider using it in the magazine, please email me!
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!
Christmas in August?
Posted by Danielle Bean in News on Friday, August 19, 2011
Faith & Family senior writer Lori Hadacek Chaplin is working on our annual Christmas gift guide, and she would like your input.
I would like to include a section in my Christmas Gift Guide article which includes suggestions from FF readers about gift ideas which cost nothing or only a few dollars. I don’t want my guide to seems too materialistic, and I am hoping that someone will have some interesting ideas beyond baking Christmas cookies as gifts.
Please leave your inexpensive Christmas gift ideas in the comments!
