Sex, Love and the Pill

Published February 28, 2012 • Written by Kathryn Whitaker Filed Under: Blog, Marriage and Love

The last several weeks, my husband and I have hovered over our smart phones and iPads, reading every possible article about the HHS mandate and controversy.  I’ve seen tweets, read controversial FB status updates, scrolled through interesting blog posts and had engaging conversations with Catholics and non-Catholics.  While the controversy still elevates my blood pressure,… [Read More]

Is Catholic School for You?

Published January 31, 2012 • Written by Kathryn Whitaker Filed Under: Blog, Faith, Family

This week, January 30-February 3, marks Catholic Schools week around the country.  Don’t worry, I’m not here to tell you that there are special indulgences for choosing Catholic school over public or home school.  The truth is, no one option makes you more Catholic than the other.  It’s always the spirit in how you live… [Read More]

Sexuality—It’s a Slow Fade

Published January 17, 2012 • Written by Kathryn Whitaker Filed Under: Blog, Faith

I see it every day and I’m pretty sure you do, too.  The sexualization of men and women, teenagers and young boys and girls is everywhere.  The billboard on the highway.  The front window of a store.  Magazine ads.  Television commercials.  Mailers in my mailbox.  And, it’s all over the internet.  We can’t get away… [Read More]

The Power of Words

Published January 3, 2012 • Written by Kathryn Whitaker Filed Under: Blog, Faith

Our fifth child was born premature, spent time in the NICU and has various developmental delays.  Recently, a friend and I were talking about any future children I might conceive when she made the comment, “Well, your early delivery with your fourth child was your warning sign.” What was that supposed to mean?  That because we chose to… [Read More]

Is Your Marriage for 72 Days or 72 Years?

Published November 9, 2011 • Written by Kathryn Whitaker Filed Under: Blog

Dear Me: A Letter to my 80-year-old Self

Published October 25, 2011 • Written by Kathryn Whitaker Filed Under: Blog, Faith

I’ve been reading several blog posts about the fancy book full of celebrity advice to themselves.  Blog authors all around have been posting similar letters to themselves.  I’m sure there are plenty of bits of advice I could give my 16-year-old self, like “don’t try and sneak back into your house after curfew, your mom will… [Read More]

The Catholic Checklist

Published September 28, 2011 • Written by Kathryn Whitaker Filed Under: Blog, Faith

Sometimes, I feel like other Catholics measure another’s “true pedigree” with a pre-determined checklist of items.  Are you pro-life? Check. Do you use NFP instead of artificial birth control?  Check. Are you against the death penalty and euthanasia?  Check. Do you homeschool?  Check. Are you against co-habitation?  Check. Do you participate in the Sacrament of Reconciliation… [Read More]
