Mormon women blogging about the peculiar and the treasured

Feasting on the…

Is it just me, or does everyone think long and hard about what special foods they’ll eat during General Conference? As a child, my food association with conference was a special treat bag assembled by my mother, the contents revealed to us only after we were settled into the church pews. In college, watching conference [...]

Halfway There

If you thought this weekend was all about Independence Day, think again! Today, July 2, marks another cause for reflection — it’s the exact midpoint of the year. We’ve made it through 182 days in 2011, and we’ve got another 182 to go. Time flies, right? Or have the days of 2011 been dragging on [...]

Kicking Off the Eight-Hour-Church Weekend

Normally, Saturday is a special day because it’s the day we get ready for Sunday. (Does that Primary song still exist, by the way?) But today, Saturday is a special day because it’s part one of a two-day churchathon. Are you ready? I’ll be honest — I don’t do all I should to prepare myself [...]

The Great Escape

I find myself turning to Travelocity.com more and more at this time of year. I need an escape. Let’s spend this Saturday sharing our best-loved vacation escapes. What locale do you long for when the end of a long winter seems nowhere in sight? Is your favorite getaway experience a family affair or a honeymoon [...]

I Hope They Call Me on a Digital Mission

A few months ago I was called and set apart as a missionary. Not the full-time type, though — I’m a digital missionary in the Cambridge Massachusetts stake. The logic behind the mission is clear when you think about the way the digital age has changed our lives. Most of us are likely to search [...]

I set rules for myself. Rules that I do not break — ever. The secret for living by the rules is to make them specific [...]

Bemoaning Hormones

Last week I cried about a hamburger. The evening started out pleasantly enough. It was my husband’s birthday — his first since we’ve been married. We decided to try one of Boston’s best burger joints for the celebratory dinner. My mouth was watering at first sight of the menu — more than two dozen varieties [...]

Ere You Left Your Room This Morning

Like every other Mormon household on Sunday mornings, ours was one of chaos. During my teenage years, my three sisters and I rushed through our a.m. routine — maintaining focus on the vanity of adolescence, of course — while battling over showers, mirror space, hair dryers, flat irons, makeup, dresses, and heels. Living in a [...]

Down to an Art

Rose Datoc Dall is one of those brilliant women who seems to have it all figured out. She’s the proud mother of four great children. She’s a gifted musician. She’s beautiful and confident. She devotes free time to church callings and volunteer work at the local high school. She’s a fan of Segullah (and was [...]
