What Happens When You’re an Intelligent Stay-at-Home Mom?0
The life of the “stay-at-home mom” is under constant scrutiny. Her personal choice to not take a full-time job outside the home, focusing her energies and talents on raising her children and keeping her house instead, seems antithetical to the world’s definition of success. As a result, the world provides all manner of explanations for

I’ve officially lived in Angers, France, for over a month now, and I’m beginning to take the beauty of Europe for granted. For example, I walk past a church built in the Middle Ages on my way to work every morning; the houses have tiled roofs and are built from the same, quaint, whitish stone;

If you’ve ever seen a little girl with a toy makeup kit, you’ve likely seen something akin to a cat who got in a fight and lost – badly. The compilation of green eyeshadow on one eye, blue on the other, hot pink blush, and reddish-brown lipstick may look like a patchwork quilt to adults,

What We Mean When We Talk About God Many people debate the existence of God without clarifying what sort of “God” they mean. If “God” is imagined as a bigger, stronger version of us, then it makes sense to doubt His existence. But if “God” refers to the One whom Thomas Aquinas calls the ipsum esse

Preserving Our Country With Clio vs. the Mob0
In two different states we’re seeing the immediate negative effects of recent elections. New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani promised lots of freebies on the campaign trail, along with higher taxes on the wealthy. No freebies yet, but multimillionaires are already packing their bags.

Millions of Americans start each morning by staring at a six-inch screen. Then they spend the day working in front of a 16-inch screen. They end the day watching a 60-inch screen. This isn’t just a dystopian nightmare, like the one depicted in Disney’s “WALL-E.” It’s real life for a lot of people. It was
