Today marks seven years since the launch of Mormon Momma. In blogging years, that’s ancient.
Thanks to all of you who read here and thanks to those who take the time to comment. Look for the big changes coming early this year. They might require the site to come down periodically, but you should like what […]

The other day I got an email that surprised me even more than it will surprise you. And I know it will.
It’s official now. Fun times!

While I’m no expert on any religion—not even my own—I have made a rudimentary observation. The Amish seem to have determined that it was best to stop time. The inventions of some specific time in the past (ties and wheels) may be used at will. But the more recent ones (zippers and electricity) are somehow […]

The church has a channel on YouTube called Mormon Messages. Yesterday they posted a new video titled, “Why Mormons Build Temples.” (Comments and ratings are not open on this video.)
How do you think this will work as a response to the upcoming airing of recreated temple ceremonies (accurate or not)?

Times & Seasons has been my favorite LDS blog for a long time. It’s open to comments from all over the spectrum, but is basically a faithful, academic blog with some silliness thrown in and the kind of camaraderie that comes from long-time discussion (and needling) of each other. I read it regularly (which for […]

Have you seen the ads for Arctic Circle (a Utah based hamburger and shake restaurant) that have been running on television recently? In case you haven’t, they feature commonplace looking adults, in your average no-brainer situations: watching the game on TV, sitting down to work in a sterile looking cubicle, or on a stool in […]

Lonestar was playing in the background as I drove my 13 year old son to school this morning. He was singing along to My Front Porch Lookin’ In when an instrumental break began, and an interesting conversation ensued.

There are two recent talks that have lingered with me and have affected my attitudes about my involvement on the internet. One was Sister Beck’s talk to the Relief Society sisters of the Church, where she quoted President Hinckley (law of witnesses!), who said:
I am convinced there is no other organization anywhere to match the […]

When I had my first baby in 1987, I found myself newly graduated from college and newly out of a paying job. I wasn’t sure how to keep my brain intact whilst whiling away the hours, topless on the couch, trying to figure out that nursing thing.
I tried reading, but had trouble with the balance […]
