The way Brian loves books, I love magazines because at this point of my life, I don’t have the time to sit and read like I used to. At least with a magazine, I can take ten minutes to read a whole article before I have to stop and clean up the box of cheerios Andrew dumped on the floor. One of my favorite Catholic mags was Envoy. I loved its mix of solid Catholic teaching/apologetics and zany humor and I was bummed when they stopped publishing. Then out of the blue, I received a new issue with the notice that they are back up and running. I was happy to hear it! You can get your own free issue of Envoy Magazine here.
The other resurrected magazine is True Girl, now called TG Magazine. The mag is geared for Catholic teen girls and older. Although Bella was too young for it, I ordered a sub when it first came out to support them and pass on to friends. I thought it was well done and am happy to hear that it is around again! If you have a teen girl you should check it out at TGMagazine.net. (The new website is not as visually appealing as the old one, but it is still early in the game.)
Lastly, since we are on the topic of magazines, if you are a Catholic wife and mother (or husband/father) you absolutely MUST order Faith and Family Magazine! The quality, both in production and content, is excellent! It has practical and informative articles on living your Catholic faith in all aspects of family life and I have never been disappointed in an issue. I love it! Plus, now you can read a sample issue online at FaithandFamilyMag.com. (We are so excited to get others to read F&F that we started selling subs as a fundraiser for the RoL website. Just use promo code “Q91286” when ordering online. Thanks!)
Maria,
This is EML. Yes, I did meet my husband online and will get around to sumbitting a "how we met" story. To your other question, yes, I am expecting and due in September. My husband and I were very surprised and excited to find out we were blessed with a honeymoon baby. Only 10 more weeks to go!
Thanks for your prayers and you will be in mine,
EML
I LOVE "Faith & Family" Magazine! I won a subscription this wonderful Catholic magazine from ROL once and really enjoyed it. I should subscribe again soon!
Bobbi, congratulations to your sister EML on her marriage! Did she meet her husband online too? If she is willing, we'd love to hear her story! She mentioned she has "the family part taken care of"...is she pregnant?! Congratulation's!
I hear St. Therese's parents will be beautified soon and many miracles have been attributed to them. I think I will pray a novena to them asking them to help us find a good pro-life Catholic doctor (I pray novenas to St. Therese all the time.). May I please ask for prayers? Thanks!
Bobbi, how is your other sister? Your other sister, EML, and you and your family remain in my thoughts and prayers.
Thinking of you and your family today.
Hope you're having a blessed 4th of July.
Love,
Maria in Mass

Oh neat...I forgot about Faith & Family magazine. I remember reading it once and liking it, but was single at the time so wasn't ready to actually pay money for it. However, now that I have the family part taken care of I think I might have to subscribe.
