What is This Classical Life? A weblog about all the beautiful things in life, like books, food and community. It is written by Kristen, a newly-minted Memphian who is married to Michael and mother to two school-aged girls.
Why This Classical Life? Why not? The domain was bought a long time ago, the name came out of Michael's classics background and a love for WBEZ's This American Life.
On Attachment Parenting & the Mommy Wars: A critique of the media's portrayal of attachment parenting and a white flag to all the moms who are doing they best they can.
In Which I am a Curmudgeon: I find the elf on the shelf trend incompatible with an incarnational Christmas.
Parenting, the Gospel & Moral Therapeutic Deism: What's best for our kids and what's best for the kingdom of God generally aren't mutually exclusive.
Be Kind: On which I reflect on how much better it can be to offer kindness and grace rather than unsolicited advice.
On Storytelling: Some of our best stories might not have a place on a blog.
Give Them Grace: A book review in which I assert that the author is espousing less grace than she believes by talking to children as unbelievers.
Thanks for the song, Kristen. You quoted the best line from a song full of many great lines!
