I'm very excited to see that The Year and Our Children, by Mary Reed Newland, is back in print! When we first began to try to work toward the goal of making our home truly a domestic church, this book was instrumental in helping John and me to strengthen the Catholic culture we provided. It came to me through our parish bookstore when we lived in Baltimore. At that time, were just beginning our journey toward home education, which really began with my desire to live the liturgical year more fully at home (well that and a lot of divine pushes in this direction, which is too long a story for this post).
So hooray! I love this book's wonderful ideas and the way Mrs. Newland writes about incorporating faith into everyday life.
If you want to take a look, you can find the book here or here.

This book is also available from Sophia Press, which is sadly in some financial difficulty right now. Buy it from them to show your support for a small Catholic press which makes available so many faithful Catholic books that are hard to find elsewhere. The guy who runs it is also the father of a good friend of mine from College, Molly Steinwald (nee Barger).
Thanks, Dan! We have appreciated Sophia Press's publishing of several other books that we like. Here's a link to Sophia: http://www.sophiainstitute.com/productdetails.cfm?PC=328
