Robyn Lee is a 30-something, single lady, living in Connecticut in a small bungalow-style kit house built by her great uncle in the 1950s. She also conveniently lives next door to her sister, brother-in-law and six kids ... and two doors down are her parents. She received her undergraduate degree from Christendom College in Philosophy with a minor in Theology and her master’s in Dogmatic Theology from Holy Apostles College. She is currently studying for her post master's certificate in Theology. She has been teaching confirmation prep for 8 years. Besides her Faith and very close (literally) family, she loves spinning in the early a.m., drinking upside down caramel macchiatos, and snacking on chocolate all day long.

Carols for Christmas
Faith and Family Live! | Posted by Robyn Lee in Family on Friday, December 23, 2011
When I was growing up we had the tradition of waiting until Christmas Eve to put up our tree.
After the tree was decorated (and the tinsel was blown onto the tree ... one strand at a time), we would sing Christmas carols.
Every year we would use these old songbooks from the ‘70s that were distributed as an insert in the local paper.
The back of the songbook has a picture of a paperboy holding up... READ MORE
Turn Off the Noise
Faith and Family Live! | Posted by Robyn Lee in Faith on Thursday, December 08, 2011
I am studying for my post master’s certificate at Holy Apostles College. One of the classes that I took this semester was Catechetics (with a dynamite teacher, Sr. Mary Anne Linder, FSE). This class was helpful and inspiring for all of us who are teaching CCD in the local parishes.
For our final project we had to read C.S. Lewis’s Screwtape Letters and rewrite one of the letters in a creative way.... READ MORE
Facing Last Judgment
Faith and Family Live! | Posted by Robyn Lee in Faith on Thursday, December 01, 2011
In my confirmation class, I like to tell the kids stories to help them remember the truths they are learning.
When we learn about the Eucharist I tell them the story of St. Tarcisius and ask why would this young man die for Jesus if he was just carrying a piece of bread?
When we talk about God the Father, I do a dramatic telling of the prodigal son to portray how much God loves each of us.
This... READ MORE
Mending a Broken Heart
Faith and Family Live! | Posted by Robyn Lee in Just me on Wednesday, November 09, 2011
As the resident single person on this mom blog I will occasionally write about single gal happenings … so won’t you indulge me, just this once?
Let me get it all out and then I’ll be done with it.
Break ups stink.
There I said it.
I can only imagine how many women have already written about this topic. But it’s okay because it feels good to talk it out. That’s what gals do, right?
I’m sure you... READ MORE
Voting Pro-Life
Faith and Family Live! | Posted by Robyn Lee in Faith on Friday, October 14, 2011
Today I went to the grocery store to buy some comfort food for a rainy afternoon (Cheez-its and Reese’s pieces if anyone was wondering).
Happy with my purchase I walked out the door and was greeted by young professionals who asked if I was a resident of the town. When I said yes, I was introduced to the local politician who was running for Town Council.
Now let me first say that I am not into politics,... READ MORE
Small Acts for God
Faith and Family Live! | Posted by Robyn Lee in Faith on Friday, September 23, 2011
My friend Heather and I are involved in a ministry called Theology on Tap. The basic idea of Theology on Tap is creating a forum where young people of all walks of life could talk about the faith in a casual setting at a bar or restaurant. A typical Theology on Tap consists of a 45 minute talk, 15 minutes q&a and time for fellowship afterward.
This forum opens the door to young people who wouldn’t... READ MORE
Eternal Rest
Faith and Family Live! | Posted by Robyn Lee in Faith on Thursday, September 01, 2011
Recently my family received some very shocking news. My younger cousin died suddenly at the age of 22. I can’t tell you the amount of sadness that we all felt at such a young death.
It is tragedies like this, that make one question whether our God is good.
Why God? Why so young? Is there anything I could have done? Why didn’t you take my life instead? Are you in control?
But it is tragedies like... READ MORE
SaintlyTees Giveaway
Faith and Family Live! | Posted by Robyn Lee in Reviews on Monday, July 11, 2011
Recently I got an email from Danielle. “These look super cute. Do you want to check them out?” I scrolled down to the rest of the email and read about a new baby and toddler clothing line called, SaintlyTees.
I clicked over to the website and was excited to see all the brightly colored children’s clothing. Each shirt has a cute illustration with a scripture verse or Christian saying on the bottom.... READ MORE
Spring Fever
Faith and Family Live! | Posted by Robyn Lee in Just me on Friday, June 03, 2011
I love Spring. Not the Winter thaw muddy mess, but the late May early June loveliness. For me, this is the perfect time.
I love eating dinner outside. I can smell the neighbors grilling burgers, which makes me turn on my grill because ... what a good idea!
I love that it is light out in the early morning and I love that it is light out until 9 p.m.
I love getting outdoors! Springtime is when we... READ MORE
Mountain of Papers
Faith and Family Live! | Posted by Robyn Lee in Just me on Thursday, March 24, 2011
I hate filing.
I’ve hated it since I was a summer intern working at a corporate office. I remember the paper cuts, the sore back, and the endless piles ...
When I got my first real job I thought: “now I’m a full-time employee. I won’t have to do any busy work.”
Boy, was I wrong. Not only did I have to file, but I was in charge of filing for the entire department!
I remember collecting the files... READ MORE
