About Mike & Alicia
We are Mike and Alicia Hernon and we are honored that you have come to our site to get to know us better. When we started our parenting journey in the early 1990s, we looked hard for someone to tell us the perfect way to be a parent, but then we finally realized – there is no perfect way! After launching some of our ten children and with some still at home and now with grandkids running around, we have found that parents actually never stop learning. Nevertheless, even though being a parent is difficult, it is not impossible. We are passionate about families and we are here to give you hope!
What is the Messy Family Project?
In 2015, we started a podcast dedicated to simply discussing issues affecting families today. The goal was to encourage parents and get husbands and wives to talk to each other and to be intentional about their parenting.
Our podcast, which started as a hobby, grew entirely by word of mouth to thousands of families listening monthly. We quickly realized that we were being called to a greater work than simply the podcast. So in 2018, we left our jobs and started the full time ministry of the Messy Family Project. Our podcast is now one of the top podcasts in the world for Catholic parents and we have loads of free resources available to any family who needs them.
