Most of America’s population think it’s improper to spank children, so I have tried other methods to control my kids when they have one of “those moments.”
One that I found effective is for me to just take the child for a car ride and talk. They usually calm down and stop misbehaving after our car […]

It makes me laugh when people—generally those who like to do whatever they want, whenever they want—say, “You can’t legislate morality.”
Of course we can. And we do. Every single law ever enacted legislates morality—from someone’s point of view.
When people make similar arguments about “forcing” religion on children, it doesn’t make me laugh. Now we’re talking […]

Dear sisters:
I have one daughter in college. She is great and responsible and I love her. She’s home for the summer and my problem is that she doesn’t dress modestly anymore. It’s something she pushed me on growing up all the time. Now I feel it’s a real negative influence on her […]

Alison invited me to Mormon Momma with the hope that I could bring the perspective of a Latter-day Saint woman who is married, but does not have children. I said yes, because I agree with her that this is voice that is under-represented in the LDS culture. I am just like you, except I don’t […]

I guess you could say that we’re magazine junkies. We have more subscriptions than are humanly possible to read. My husband has an entire drawer in his bathroom vanity dedicated to The Magazines That Came This Month That I Have Not Had Time to So Much as Crack Open because I can’t stand wading through […]
