Advent Mom's Corner on Monday Morning!

Okay, are you guys, I should say "girls" ready for this? What are you doing on Monday morning? I will be taking some time off from writing my book and our Advent activities and busyness to join Teresa Tomeo on "Catholic Connection" on our "Mom's Corner" segmen on Monday morning at 9:15 AM Eastern time.

We'll be talking a bit about this wonderful Advent season, family stuff, and I will be sharing another "Jesus at the post office" story. Last year I shared my experience of seeing Jesus at the post office. Before you run away, I am talking about seeing Jesus in the "distressing disguise" (as Mother Teresa used to say) of a homeless man and how he affected the people in the post office. I have been blessed with another experience this Advent season which I will share on the show.

So, tune in on Monday morning at 9:15 AM Eastern time to hopefully get your new week off on the right foot. We hope you'll join us and feel free to call into the show.


I hope you're Advent is filled with blessings and inspiration as you prepare your heart, your family, and your home for the coming of the Christ Child! Christmas is two weeks from today! Yikes!

And speaking of Advent, you may want to read a short article I wrote about HOPE over at Catholic Mom.Com.

If you'll be baking some cookies, go on over to Faith and Family Live to experience their cookie swap and find some new recipes from some of your favorite people! :)

Don't forget...Advent Mom's Corner on Monday morning - BE THERE!!

hugs,

Donna-Marie

Keeping Thanksgiving sane, simple, and holy!

You can listen to my chat with Teresa Tomeo on the radio last year about Thanksgiving. Go get yourself a cup of tea or coffee and pull up a chair. Click here for our segment: "Thanksgiving: Keeping it sane, simple, & holy"

I hope you will come away with some tips and ways to take that stress level down at least a few notches by DOING a little less and BEING a little more.

Enjoy your preparations and don't work too hard. It will all come together. Take a breath..say a prayer...enjoy your family - that's what is most important!

God bless and hugs,

Donna-Marie

Listen Here to Yesterday's "Mom's Corner" show

Here's a link to listen to Teresa Tomeo and me on our "Mom's Corner" segment yesterday. We chatted about various Catholic and current topics including a prayer table I suggested to draw your family together in prayer in your domestic churches.

Teresa and I also chatted a bit about my new books too.

Just click here to listen.
Enjoy the show!

Donna-Marie

PS I will be posting my long segment with Dina Marie Hale from Oregon a bit later this week after I receive the CD or mp3 of the show.

Time to give thanks - keeping it SANE and SIMPLE!

It's just about Thanksgiving time. How do you celebrate? At our house, we like to bake pies and breads together and have a nice Thanksgiving dinner - the best part is being with the family, for sure!

How can we keep this holiday that is meant to give thanks, sane and simple and not out of control? There's the temptation to get more and more elaborate with dinner and decorating with the added demands for perfection thrown in to the mix. This all may equal disaster or a disillusioned hostess when things don't go as smoothly as hoped.

Tune in on Tuesday, November 20th at 9:15 AM Eastern Standard Time to my "Mom's Corner" segment on "Catholic Connection" with Teresa Tomeo on Ave Maria Radio (EWTN). We'll be discussing the Thanksgiving holiday and how to keep it sane and simple while still meaningful, beautiful and enjoyable! Feel free to leave a comment here with your thoughts on the subject as well as to call in to the show. You can find the details for tuning in at this Embracing Motherhood blog and my Daily Donna-Marie blog soon. I hope you'll tune in and join us!


God bless!
