Brooke is attempting inner om with this writing stuff. Proud to claim three loud children, a patient husband and a fat black cat as family, she feels blessed to be their mommy-- their giver of kisses and baker of cookies. She is ever seeking a good novel and wishing for the sand between her toes, palm trees, the ocean.

Carina Carina wants to know why we need to sleep. Do you know how many more things Carina could get done if she didn't have to sleep? Sure, there is her husband, two boys, a full time tech product manager job, a household to run, crafting of all sorts, world traveling, collecting obscure bits of knowledge, and some serious baking to do. However, if Carina could only cut out sleeping, she could significantly increase the amount of time spent doing everything else (except laundry.) Carina is happy to keep her rarely used bed in Provo, the Florence of the American West, where she once upon a time received a degree in History and European Studies from BYU.

Dalene began blogging as a legitimate way to avoid housework and to keep a journal of sorts. In her other life she wants to be excellent at a number of things, but in this one she's settling for baking a mean sour cream lemon pie, keeping most of the points on her quilt blocks in line, being a loyal friend and aspiring to moments of goodness as a wife and mother.

Heather H. (Editorial Board), originally from Orem Utah, now resides in the center of the world, New York City. On days she can't get in a proper bit of exercise she's glad she gets to carry her strollered son up and down subway stairs, while making sure her daughter stops at every corner and holds the railing while maneuvering those same steps. Heather earned a BA in English Teaching from Brigham Young University and put her husband, Matt, through his graduate acting program by teaching Middle School English in Texas for three years. Now she "stays home"? with her kids, writes a lot of first drafts, teaches preschool, falls asleep reading, and loves cooking (especially when she's alone).

Jenny Whitcomb Jenny grew up in a family of numberless children in a home with a revolving front door. She is a twin, but had her six children one at a time. She married a charming engineer who endears himself to her with his bad shirts, endless flattery and tendency to fashion replacement shoelaces out of rope. She was born in Massachusetts, and is pleased to be planted back on the east coast. Jenny yearns for clutter free spaces touted in magazines, but lives in a home with piles in every room. In that rare bit of free time, you'll find her in the garden, on the beach or behind a book with a stash of chocolate.

Justine D. (Managing Editor) has a cute husband and five mostly dirt-caked kids. She reads. She writes. She runs. She bikes. (hey, that kind of rhymed, didn't it?) Apparently, she writes lyrical poetry, too. She clearly doesn't mind speaking of herself in third person. Don't get her started, or you might just end up with a haiku in your in-box.

Leslie Leslie Graff (Blog Co-Editor) In her pre-diapering days, Leslie earned an MS in Marriage and Family Studies from BYU. This entitled her to mold the minds of impressionable college students in rambling 6 hour lecture courses and travel the world as child life specialist. She now passes the seasons in a quaint Massachusetts town with her husband, Allen, and three young sons. She spends her days encouraging play, championing global causes, and whipping up a mean R2D2 cake. She savors her nights, stealing away to her studio to paint.

Michelle L. 0Michelle Lehnardt (Blog Co-Editor) never folds laundry and her car is a mess. She runs through the streets of Salt Lake City, UT, takes lots of photos, plays Uno with her 5 fabulous boys and buys way too many dresses for the little princess. Her husband is the most romantic man in the world because he does all the Costco shopping AND hauls it into the house (sorry to make you jealous girls). She writes at Scenes from the Wild.
