The only way SpongeBob SquarePants could get any better would be if it had superheroes. Guess what, now it does in The Adventures […]

My God and My All: The Life of Saint Francis of Assisi

I’ve been fascinated with learning about the saints ever since I learned that I was born on the Feast of Saint Nicholas (December 6). One of my favorite saints was Saint Francis because he is the patron saint of animals. I’ve always been curious about how people are inspired to live their lives so when I […]

The Surprising Imagination of C S Lewis by Jerry Root and Mark Neal

When I was little, I loved to daydream. I can remember sitting under a tree (or on my bed) with my eyes closed for hours just thinking. I always lived in magical worlds and had amazing adventures. When I wasn’t daydreaming, you could find me with my nose in a book. The Surprising Imagination of […]

The MUTTS Winter Diaries by Patrick McDonnell

I’ve always encouraged my kids to read. From as early as I can remember, either I was reading them a story or they were reading one themselves.  While my daughter could always be found with a novel, my son has always gravitated more toward comics and graphic novels. Either way, any love of reading is […]

Luck Be A Lady by Meredith Duran

There is no better way to spend a cold weekend than by sitting on the couch with a blanket, a cup of tea and a romance book. I don’t do that often. I generally don’t have the time. But, sometimes, a book is just impossible to put down. Luck Be A Lady by Meredith Duran was […]

America's Test Kitchen Season 15

When I was younger, one of the few channels my parents got on television was PBS. We didn’t get cable, and I spent a lot of time watching documentaries and educational programs. Those early years on PBS, watching Julia Child, are also what got me interested in cooking programs. Now that I’m older, I enjoy […]
