You may be familiar with the story of the Von Trapp family from the 1960s musical The Sound of Music. Today I'm sharing about the book that inspired the movie, The Story of the Von Trapp Family Singers. It is a story of sacrifice, love, and beautiful music. I adore this book. I hope you will join me in reading it.

In this ‘school of living,' Holy Mother Church teaches her children how to celebrate. In it, one learns how to turn family days such as birthdays, anniversaries, baptisms, weddings and even funerals into feasts celebrated in the Lord.” - Maria von Trapp, Around the Year with the von Trapp Family Second quote from the von Trapp book referenced is too big and surpasses character limit. Quote can be found on our Instagram "!" highlight :) "For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, virtue with knowledge, knowledge with self-control, self-control with endurance, endurance with devotion, devotion with mutual affection, mutual affection with love. If these are yours and increase in abundance, they will keep you from being idle or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ." - 2 Peter 1:5-8 "Whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things." - Philippians 4:8 Link's mentioned: Our Instagram @TGBDiaries https://www.instagram.com/tgbdiaries/

We have received several requests to do an episode on the sacred liturgy. We know it's always a hot-button topic in the Church, and for good reason. The sacred liturgy is incredibly important. So, in this episode we discuss what the liturgy is, how Vatican II reformed the liturgy, and why it's time to move past the liturgy wars. We also unpack many of today's liturgical debates concerning the Traditional Latin Mass, ad orientem, and more. Finally, we explore the role of liturgy in family life and how to cultivate a liturgical rhythm and environment in your home.

It’s time to ride on those wild geese as we fly into Austria to talk all about potentially the world’s most famous musical, ‘The Sound of Music.’ We try and pull apart why it’s so popular while discussing the real Von Trapp family, the tonal differences between the film and stage show , why Maria is a lesbian icon and discover the best musical theatre themed Hallowe’en costume. Support the Show ➤ The Sound of Music (Original Soundtrack Recording) iTunes / Spotify SHOW NOTES A very good place to start is this wonderful video of Julie Andrews meeting the real Maria Von Trapp! Out of the myriad of documentaries about the Sound of Music that are out there, we thoroughly recommend this one presented by Sue Perkins. For a totally different perspective on the show (and some other great insight into gender and feminism in the musical theatre!) check out Stacy Wolf’s fascinatingly enjoyable book ‘A Problem Like Maria.’ She worked on it for months and came out with an incredible performance. Here’s Lady Gaga singing a medley of the songs at the Oscars. Let’s cringe together with Tommy’s first in-person YouTube appearance!

On Episode 1 of "Sing It, Sister!" Clare and Ellen discuss The Sound of Music. One of them did a little TOO much research before the show. Show Notes: - Wikepedia: "Although critical response to the film was widely mixed, the film was a major commercial success, becoming the number one box office movie after four weeks, and the highest-grossing film of 1965. By November 1966, The Sound of Music had become the highest-grossing film of all-time—surpassing Gone with the Wind—and held that distinction for five years." - According to IMDB, The Sound of Music is currently the 19th highest grossing musical of all time. - Production Credits (according to IMDB): Robert Wise Productions (as A Robert Wise Production of Rodgers and Hammerstein's) Argyle Enterprises (produced by) (as Argyle Enterprises, Inc.) - Movie vs. Reality: The Real Story of the Von Trapp Family from Archives.gov - “The Sound of Music” Wedding Dress is Historically Inaccurate from FlipBrew.com - 14 Facts About The Sound of Music from Mentalfloss.com

If there’s one topic I’ve been asked more about this year, it’s for us to do a big ol’ 101 on what the heck is the liturgical calendar, and how Haley and I recognize it in our lives. Some of you know that a few years ago I was confirmed in the Anglican church after more than 3 decades in a purely evangelical, non-denominational framework, and Haley has been a Catholic for not quite a decade. So, neither of us grew up in a liturgical setting, but we're both now are immersed in that world (albeit in different ones from each other). But both these expressions of Christianity follow what’s called the "liturgical calendar," so in this 3-part series, we’re gonna get into it — and how you can participate as big or as small as you want, no matter your faith tradition.

Mighty Blue On The Appalachian Trail: The Ultimate Mid-Life Crisis
Damien and Renee Tougas have always made sure that their children were able to experience the outdoors. So it seemed a fairly natural fit to take the entire family on the Appalachian Trail in 2014. To help fund their adventure they produced a high-quality video series that followed their journey. For each member of the family, it was harder than they had expected. Despite their hardships–compounded when Renee had to leave the trail for much of the last 500 miles–they eventually forced their way to Katahdin, summiting triumphantly together once more as a family. The children recognized their individual roles in the adventure, each having chores to attend to at the end of the day. Once Renee had left the team, she offered each child the option to quit but, to their credit, they battled on. You can connect with the family in several of ways.

A tuneful, heartwarming story, based on the real-life story of the Von Trapp Family singers, one of the world's best-known concert groups in the era immediately preceding World War II. Julie Andrews plays the role of Maria, the tomboyish postulant at an Austrian abbey who becomes a governess in the home of a widowed naval captain with seven children and brings a new love of life and music into the home.Noah and Jonesy talk about the whimsical music and the characters that sing them. Why was this Christopher Plummer's most hated role, yet brought him the most success? And how close was Julie Andrews portrayal of Maria to Mary Poppins?Next Up: Fantasia (1940)
This week Annie and Dan break down the 1950 Disney classic animated film Cinderella. They talk about how Cinderella's life didn't seem so bad, the Von Trapp Family, the stigma assigned to naming a kid Lucifer, and the heirarchy of the fictional Cinderella kingdom of animals. Also Gay Panic, WWII, and maybe the animators being a little lazy.
Enjoy this rare guest performance by Taffeta Von Trapp, the lost member of the Von Trapp family singers. Taffeta had been the lead singer of “Taffy and the Trappettes” until that bitch Julie Andrews came along and changed the family to ensemble performers. CLICK HERE for Direct iPod Format Download
