We'll post our review of the book later this month, but first wanted to share some of our questions with Sarah about her writing process.
Sarah, I really enjoyed this book, particularly the way you offered suggestions to add an element of faith in so many different ways. I wish I'd had this when my daughters were little. What was the best part of writing this book?
--The subtitle definitely has a soft spot for me, but I also enjoyed tapping into fun family activities to share with others.
So which word from the subtitle do you think best describes your family?
--Depends on the day...I usually start adventurous and creative and then dissolve into overwhelmed and clueless.
What do you hope people take away from your book?
--It's my hope that families are inspired to spend time together, have fun with it, and get some ideas for weaving faith into their fun.

--I gave myself a weekly goal. When it got to the wire and I hadn't met it, I prayed, called friends, and asked for help.
What's your favorite part of the book?
--Favorite part of the book: the index, where you search based on cost, prep time, and activity time.
The index is pretty cool as a quick answer to "Ahh- what could we do today?!" What about your favorite activity?
--Horseback riding.
Okay, horseback riding is your favorite, but which activity would you say your family actually does the most often?
--We ride every single week, unless someone's sick or there's extenuating circumstances...so that's the winner all around!
So, how many of the activities have you done with your own kids?
--Ummmm...in one form or another, probably the majority of them...which is to say, at least horse riding. :)
In all honesty, I identified with "Be 'Crazy.'" When you write, what do you have on your writing playlist, if you have one?
--I have a couple of writing playlists. One is all Ave Marias. Another has songs that make me happy. Then there's the "desperation" playlist.
Ah, so what's on the "desperation" playlist?
--There's Matchbox 20, Faith Hill, Taylor Swift, and Beethoven. Specifics vary by level of desperation
Where else can people learn more about you and the book?
--The book's website is CatholicFamilyFun.com and it has a Facebook page too. In both places, I share fun stuff (and hope others will too).
