You are Wonderful!

  Raising a family isn’t easy and eating healthy as a family is no exception. With all the talk these days of organic this, grass fed that and Monsanto in everything, it can leave mothers and fathers a little more perplexed as to what to feed their family. I know that I have struggled with it. In fact, I have had moments of incontrolable sobs over it (I am pregnant) because I feel so guilty that I...

Happy Monday Face

  You see it on facebook everyone is making jokes and commiserating with each other over how much they dread Monday’s. For many, Monday’s are the day we all get back to work, whether we work out of the home as a teacher, accountant or doctor or in the home as a dish washer, laundress or specialty chef for kid cuisine… as a mom you are probably all of the above! On top of that, the weekend was...

Celebrate the Mundane

  As much as I love being a mom and staying at home to raise the kids while they are young, I find so many tasks to be tedious and mundane. Dishes and laundry to name a few. I am certain I am not the only mom, or dad for that matter, to feel this way from time to time. I find that sometimes just putting on a smile and giving myself a pat on the back, when I do complete a task and playing some Leslie Gore can...

Sacrificing For Peace

It had been 3 days since we got home from my Grandma’s funeral in CA and the kids still were not back to their normal bedtime routine. To say they were having a hard time falling asleep is an understatement for sure. At least, they were having a hard time any time before 11pm and I was about to pull out my hair. It wasn’t fair, but maybe many would say it was, but on the second night I just lost it. I...

You Are Beautiful at the LDSFF

If you live in Utah, join us at the LDS Film Festival this coming weekend to support the short films, You Are Beautiful and Dear Dad, made for this site last year for Mother’s and Father’s Day. It will be fun to see them on the big screen and to watch them with a large audience. Both celebrate the genuine love and admiration children feel towards their parents and how that influences the way they feel...

Under Construction

What is under construction? Well, I am in. In fact, at the moment I am running a little factory inside of me to make a beautiful little baby. Boy or Girl? I don’t know and don’t plan to find out until they come screaming for joy into the world. I’ve never done that before but have always wanted to try. The kids have been pressuring me to find out but there is no budging this pregnant girl. I am...

It is about topics that matter to women: health, relationships and even products that can bless our lives. Topics that celebrate who we are and what we love. Tune in live Monday and Tuesdays from 9-10am MST on AM 630 or click here to...

Like Mother Like Daughter

If you want your daughters to believe you when you tell them, "You are beautiful," then you need to believe it too, about yourself!

Hair isn’t Everything

A BMT, bone marrow transplant, survivor shares her story of how she came to know what true beauty was as a 12 year old girl with no hair.

J for Joy

I couldn’t have done what I did for Start Up Weekend Women’s Edition without the help of this girl. In fact, I was only attending it because she convinced me, a 31 year old mother of 4 with no business background, that this would be an awesome opportunity to get my app, Five Joys, started. It seemed like a long shot but I took the leap and I am so glad I did. The details of that trip will be fully...
