On Hiatus

In case you haven't noticed, I've stopped the Family Runaround, the Podcast for Busy Families. When I began this podcast, it was because there weren't any others like it out there--and now I know why: busy families are too busy to make podcasts!

I've decided to put my extra energies (right!) into a few blogs:

• The Literary Compass - A blog about Catholic novels and authors
• The Road to High School - A blog for my eighth grade students, both current and former
• The Liturgy of the Hours Registry - A portal for my Liturgy of the Hours Frappr map

I encourage you to give them all a look-see and hopefully you will find something interesting. I have some ideas for future podcasts, but they're just going to have to wait. Thanks.
