Soldier's Mom
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Family on Monday, December 12, 2011
This past weekend, in various social situations and at Mass, I learned that three of my oldest son’s classmates will soon be leaving college and enlisting in the military. Two are destined for the Air Force, and the third will join the Army. I received the news from two of the moms, both of whom are friends of mine.
What struck me as I spoke with both of them independently was the emotions they were... READ MORE

I just had to share my excitement at seeing the following video, posted by my friends at Ave Maria Press, home of my new book A Book of Saints for Catholic Moms.

Praying with and for our Teens
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Faith on Tuesday, August 23, 2011
This week, we’re preparing to take one son back to college and the second son is busily adjusting to his Junior year in high school. It’s funny, when my sons were toddlers, I truly thought nothing could be more difficult or more stressful than a terrible two year old. The more we parent teens, the more I realize that every phase of parenting is filled with blessings and challenges. Point in case:... READ MORE

Moms Who Are Happy

It’s the subtitle of Meg Meeker’s latest book that attracted me.
The full title is, The 10 Habits of Happy Moms: Reclaiming Our Passion, Purpose and Sanity.
If you scroll down the page at that link, you’ll find a short interview with Dr. Meeker, a pediatrician, in which she explains that she wrote the book because she wanted moms to enjoy their mothering more.
That struck a chord with me, because... READ MORE
Mom My Ride
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Just me on Monday, August 01, 2011
This video has been floating around for a little while, but it’s so perennially true that I just had to share it with you. Please pardon the “product placement” at the beginning and have fun with the theme of the video… how “mommed out” our cars can be! A few questions for you - does your car scream “mom”? Could you feed a family of four with the old fries stuck under your minivan seats? Or have you “graduated” from the SUV to a more economical model? Enjoy!
Advanced Maternal Age
Posted by Rachel Balducci in Family on Tuesday, July 26, 2011
I came across this article recently, 40 and Pregnant, and it kinda made laugh.

However being 40 and pregnant is not something that has to be feared. After all, celebrity... READ MORE
