A bit more –
\nAt Mass, we sat in front of a mom and a fairly young baby. At one point, Michael the Toddler whispered something to me. I didn’t quite catch it. He repeated it: “Dat baby has sweet toes.”
\nAh, see they do <\/em>listen. To the most unexpected things.
\nThat mom with the baby with sweet toes was Ouiz, homeschooling mom of 7 from South Carolina. With a blog!<\/a>
\nSpeaking of baby toes, here’s another blogger who was there – Katie Wicker\u00a0<\/a>, who writes the Momopoly column at Catholic Mom.<\/a>\u00a0(Visit her blog to see the connection)
\nChelsea Zimmerman of “Reflections of a Paralytic<\/a>” was there – she runs a couple of other blogs, too – check them out.
\nThe Catholic Traveler<\/a> – Mountain Buterac was there, too. His blog is here and the website for his pilgrimage company is here. <\/a>His sweet little daughter was a great playmate for Michael – racing up and down the hall, endlessly – on pilgrimage perhaps?
\nBrian Barcaro of the Catholic social networking site 4 Marks<\/a>
\nPaul Snatchko who blogs<\/a> and also is manager of marketing and communications for Magnificat.
\nJeff Schwehm, president of the Fellowship of Catholic ex-Jehovah’s Witnesses.<\/a>\u00a0They have a conference coming up in early August.
\nThe frighteningly young and talented Rebecca of Catholic in Film School.<\/a>
\nBack to Chris Cash and the Catholic Company – they’re running a First Communion Photo Contest. Details are here!<\/a>\u00a0The Catholic Company also has a Reviewer Program for bloggers and other Internet content providers. Details here. <\/a>
\nFinally, not directly related, but definitely related, you really need to go take a look at this – a very excellent new video series “The Faithful Traveler” from Diana and David von Glahn. From their site:<\/a><\/p>\n

The Faithful Traveler<\/strong>\u2122 is a fun, new travel show with a Catholic focus.
\nJoin Diana von Glahn, the show\u2019s host, on her quest to discover amazing churches, shrines, and places of pilgrimage throughout the United States and beyond!
\nAt each location, she\u2019ll uncover and discuss the art, architecture, historical fact, Scripture, and Church teaching behind the location in a fun and lively manner that\u2019s sure to appeal to all ages!
\nExplore our site to learn more about the show, watch clips <\/a>from our video series, read what people are saying<\/a> about the show, and check out the resources<\/a> behind what is discussed on each show.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I think there are a couple of business cards I’ve lost – one, in particular I remember was from a fellow from the area who restores religious statuary…if you’re out there and reading..post a link!
\nUpdate: <\/span>Thanks to Rachel and Fr. Seraphim – HolyFIx!<\/a>
\nSpeaking of Fr. Seraphim…I’m glad he chimed in, for I had neglected to mention him on this go around – Fr. Seraphim Beshoner, TOR, whose history-oriented podcasts at Catholic:Under the Hood \u00a0are going to become a must-listen for me. <\/a>

The Catholicism comes from her side. Amy grew up in a number of places - Indiana - Washington, DC - Lubbock Texas - Arlington, Virginia - DeKalb, Illinois - Lawrence, Kansas - and Knoxville, Tennessee, where the family settled in 1973. She attended Knoxville Catholic High School, then the University of Tennessee where she majored in history. She received an MA in Church History from Vanderbilt University, where she wrote a thesis on the changing role of women in 19th century American Protestantism, and the ways Scripture was used to justify those changes. She worked as as a teacher in Catholic high schools and a Parish Director of Religious Education and started writing for the diocesan press - the Florida Catholic - in 1988. Amy has written columns for Our Sunday Visitor and Catholic News Service at times over the past twenty years. Her articles have been published in venues ranging from Our Sunday Visitor to the New York Times to Commonweal. She has written 17 books. 18, if you included the as yet tragically unpublished novel. Amy has five children, ranging in age from 26 to 4 and was married to Michael Dubruiel, who died unexpectedly in February 2009. She lives in Birmingham, Alabama.","url":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/viamedia\/author\/awelborn"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/viamedia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/709","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/viamedia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/viamedia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/viamedia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/180"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/viamedia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=709"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/viamedia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/709\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/viamedia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=709"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/viamedia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=709"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/viamedia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=709"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
