Faithfulness Doesn’t Look Like That

I started this post on April 9th, but never had the heart to finish it. Maybe now I do. Last fall I wrote a post titled A Christlike Response to Radical Mormon Feminism. I'm not part of the Ordain Women group—because I have some differing opinions on...

There is Room for You Here

Somewhere along the line, I must have identified myself as a Mormon feminist—for in the 24 hours that have passed since Kate Kelly's excommunication was announced, I have received multiple messages from various friends, asking, “Are you okay?” Two things....

Children are the Best Good

Every day I see Facebook posts from a friend who works as a nanny. She loves her charges to pieces and constantly posts photo after photo of their adventures together. And she tags the parents in all her adoring (and adorable) posts. As much as she truly loves these...

Supporting Your Children in Their Dreams

Is the Blippar App for You?

Blippar is a new app I downloaded to my iPhone today. It's unlike other apps I've used, both for good and bad. To use Blippar, you start the app, point the integrated camera at a Blippar-ready object and scan. Once the scan completes, you are connected to an...
