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!
Are You Missing a Piece of Faith & Family?
Posted by Danielle Bean in News on Wednesday, August 31, 2011
I am so grateful you are here.
I have said many times that the readers here at Faith & Family Live are an integral part of our value. It’s your participation and your contributions that make Faith & Family Live the supportive, educational, and encouraging community it is. I really value what we have created here together and I know that many of you do too.
But are you missing out on more of what Faith & Family has to offer?
This website is only made possible with the financial backing of subscribers to Faith & Family magazine. We don’t make money here. We don’t even break even. Faith & Family is happy to provide this website as a service to our readers and to the Church, but we hope that you will consider supporting our efforts through a subscription to the print magazine.
In each issue of Faith & Family magazine, you get something we can’t give you here online—longer, in-depth feature articles, stunning photography, beautiful layouts, and hundreds of tips, ideas, and inspiration for Catholic family living. We want to support you in all aspects of Catholic family life and we don’t want you to miss out on any of what Faith & Family has to offer.
If you are not yet a subscriber, won’t you consider subscribing today? If you are already a subscriber, perhaps you will consider a renewal or a gift subscription as a means of supporting our online efforts.
We are deeply grateful for any way you can support Faith & Family Live, but most of all for your presence and participation in the Faith & Family “family.” You are what makes us great. Thank you for being here.
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!
