Hi Ladies. I just read an interesting article that I wanted to share with you:
Feminist Obsessed With Mormon Blogs
It was thought provoking and made me want to post more on our mommy blog! I appreciated the author's candidness, humor and honest confession about her fascination with Mormon moms and the lives they lead.
Sometimes I forget how unique our lives and attitudes are to the world, and how liberating it can be to embrace those things that truly bring happiness, like marriage and motherhood. That doesn't mean our lives are spot-free or effortless, but compared to the degrading worldly forces that seek to demean women, I can appreciate that on the whole my life is "uplifting" and genuinely happy.
So read it and let me know what you think!
That was an interesting article Lizzy! It made me want to blog about more of the small, everyday stuff. It just goes to show that people are attracted to truth no matter how many lies they have swallowed throughout their lives. I KNOW I would be unhappy if I did not have the truths of the gospel to guide my life.
ReplyDeleteI really liked the article, thanks for sharing Lizzy! I love the fact that she looks to mormon mommy blogs for hope and a little ray of sunshine in her day. It's true that mormon-mommy life is NOT all cupcakes and crafting. To me, it mostly seems like cleaning and trying to cook something for dinner! But there is something to be said about having faith, hope and a tremendous amount of love for our husbands and children amidst all of the monotonous chores we do every day. We find joy in it because through doing it we are serving and helping people we love. It's not like I haven't dreamed of perhaps having a career one day, or wishing I would have traveled and explored more before having children. I still dream of those things every once in awhile. But I would NEVER trade my beautiful girls or my sweet husband for them. I have the gospel to thank for giving me that direction when I could have chosen another way.
