    make joy normal: Catholics in the new springtime

    The Church is experiencing a profound renewal — a new springtime of faith. But what does that look like in your home? In your parish? In your daily life?

    We are living in a time of tremendous opportunity for renewal: a new springtime. As Catholics, we aren’t called to retreat from the world, but to become leaven within it—to live so fully in the joy and freedom of the Gospel that our lives might become an invitation.

    Let’s explore what it means to live as an authentic Catholic family in our time: the beauty of the Faith, the reality of raising children in Christ, the struggles and triumphs of Catholic life, and how ordinary families become instruments of the New Evangelization. From marriage and parenthood to education and community, let’s look at joy—rooted in Christ and His Church—might become the normal rhythm of Catholic life.

    Let’s usher in the New Springtime Pope John Paul II proclaimed. Catholic family life doesn’t have to look perfect to be beautiful. The world doesn’t need more noise. It needs to see Catholics living with conviction, charity, and contagious joy.

    Let’s make joy normal.

    Breastfeeding through the ages and stages: child-led weaning, tandem nursing and co-sleeping Jan 17, 2025
    Show notes

    send us a text via Fan Mail!

    For the last month I've received several questions about breastfeeding topics and even though this has nothing to do with homeschooling it has everything to do with homeschooling - it's how we nurture our children and I'm so grateful for these questions! Christina and I discuss the return of fertility postpartum and if early weaning is necessary to have another baby if our cycle has not returned, how to deal with a nursing toddler and a newborn and what to do if our husband is not supportive of child-led weaning or co-sleeping.

    1:17 - Questions from our listeners
    3:47 - Sharing our experiences with child-led nursing
    8:24 - The normalization of breastfeeding
    13:17 - Loving and supporting women who can't breastfeed
    16:13 - Should you wean your baby early if you want another baby?
    24:23 - What to do about a night-nursing toddler and a newborn?
    36:14 - What if your husband is not supportive of attachment?
