By Charlotte Phillips Today, my husband and I celebrate our 14th wedding anniversary. Sometimes it’s hard to believe it’s been 14 years since we’ve said our “I dos” on that unseasonably cool (who are we kidding, less hot!) August night.

By Stacy LaMorte As I was walking into school on yet another rainy morning this week, I was following behind a preschooler and her mother.

By Leslie W. Bertucci Imagine a child sitting in his mother’s lap, murmuring to her while fingering the beads of her necklace, while she shows him the pictures of a book.

By Greg Zambrano The passion of Christ is a very violent and horrific event, but we should never be afraid of a crucifix – just respect and honor it.

By Ana Borden One of the most well received gifts on Christmas Day was a gratitude journal for our oldest child. During a year where the focus has been one of what went wrong versus what we should be grateful for, it has definitely been a good addition during our nightly routine. In just a […]
