Published May 1, 2015 • Written by Britt Echtenkamp Filed Under: Blog, Faith, Family, Marriage and Love

I’ve only been a mom for about 4 months now, and I recognize that I’m definitely still in the newb phase of parenting.

How to Keep Youth in the Church (A Response to “3 Common Traits”)

Published August 5, 2014 • Written by Lindsay Wilcox Filed Under: Blog, Faith, Family, Young Adult, Youth

Most of my friends in Austin are people I met at Catholic activities.

Published January 29, 2014 • Written by Shawn Rain Chapman Filed Under: Blog

Published March 26, 2013 • Written by Kathryn Whitaker Filed Under: Blog, Faith, Family, World and News, Youth

5 Tips: How to Be a Good Mom and Not Lose Your Mind

Published November 14, 2012 • Written by Lauren Gulde Filed Under: Family, Marriage and Love

While I’ve been ‘Mom’ now for almost 13 years, it seems that I’m still figuring out this motherhood thing. It can be hard to balance being an individual woman with thoughts, ideas, plans and inspirations that are all my own with the… thoughts, ideas, plans, inspirations, hunger, laundry, homework and tantrums of everyone else in… [Read More]

Father’s Love

Published June 17, 2011 • Written by Jason Elizondo Filed Under: Blog, Family

With Father’s Day being this Sunday I felt it would be kind of cliché to do a post about fathers, but The Lord put that in my heart so I’ll go with it. Who knows better then your Heavenly Father anyways?! When I was growing up my dad used to tell me, “You can learn… [Read More]

The Case for Homeschooling

Published April 28, 2011 • Written by Martina Filed Under: Blog

Not once did I ever envision myself, our kids, or our family, as homeschooling material. It didn’t fit with my upbringing or my childhood experiences. I grew up in both South Austin and a small town in East Texas and went through public school, including a public university. I held many of the negative stereotypical… [Read More]
