What's it like in a big Catholic family in today's day and age? We're inviting you into our home and hearts to share the many lessons we've learned and ideas we've developed over the past two decades.
Raising a big family, a faith-filled family, and a family with a whole lot of heart requires quite a bit of maneuvering and rolling with the punches in this crazy world we live in.
Our hope and our prayer is that some of our experiences will help you to create your own family culture... a culture of life rooted and founded in LOVE.
As much as we love them, sometimes we just don't know what to do with them - Teenagers.
In this episode, after having successfully launched two responsible adults who are on fire for Christ, we open our hearts and share from our experience and the advice of family and friends on how to get through those often messy teenage years.
