{Poll} Family Size
Apparently family size is going back up in America (after dipping down). How do Mormon families reflect these trends? I recently ran across a study about family size in the United States that says the average household size has gone from 3.67 in 1930 down to 2.62 in 2000, but is now going back up....
Wall Street Journal: One in four say having a Mormon president would cause concerns
MR says: So says a poll done by WSJ and NBC News. More than one in four Americans say having a Mormon as president would cause concern for themselves or someone in their family, neighborhood or office, presenting a challenge for Mitt Romney, a new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll finds. In general,...
{Poll} The Wedding Thank-you
Having recently gotten married, I'm now facing the daunting task of sending thank-you cards. What rules do you think are most important when sending cards? It's a given that thank-you cards should be sent when people come to your wedding and give you gifts. But the exact manner in which this should...
{Poll} Mother's Day vs. Father's Day
Mothers and fathers are equally important in a child's life. How do the days in which we honor them compare? Sunday will be my first real Mother's Day. Last year on that day, I was unhappily sitting in church, very pregnant, one day overdue with my son. Why couldn't he have arrived in time for...
{Poll} Plastic Surgery
How do you feel about plastic surgery? Is it ever appropriate? I remember the first time someone I knew chose to get plastic surgery. My good friend often complained that giving birth to five children had left her body in less than ideal condition—and there were certain things that...
{Poll} Public Displays of Affection at Church
Some of my friends' religion professors have said church is absolutely not the place for PDA, but I've also seen plenty of leaders show affection for their wives in public settings. Where is the line? I like to show affection for my husband. Whenever I can, I try to hold his hand. When we say...
{Poll} Technology Boundaries for Kids?
It seems we can't function in life without our various technological devices, but they carry a lot of dangers and responsibility as well. When and how much can kids handle? Growing up, the most advanced technology I had was a Super Nintendo that my mother begrudgingly allowed us to have, only after...
Washington Post poll on Romney's Mormon religion
MR says: Click on the forwarding link to see the poll results. Q: Is Romney's Mormon religion a major reason to (support) that candidate, a major reason to (oppose) that candidate, or not a major...
{Poll} Birthing Methods
When it comes to children, everyone has an opinion. And the way you give birth to them is no exception. We Mormons are in the business of baby birthing. It's not uncommon for a Mormon mom to give birth five, six, seven(?!) times in her life. It's a pretty big deal. There is no right or wrong way to...
{Poll} Public Displays of Faith
We are taught to be examples of faith to those around us, but we're also taught not to cast pearls before swine. Where does that line fall for you? In Christ's Sermon on the Mount, he commanded us to "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father...

{Poll} What's Your Home or Visiting Teaching Style?
Home and visiting teaching are invaluable programs for reaching out to all the members in our ranks, but they take on a different appearance for each person. How often do you go? When do you try to complete it? And what constitutes a visit? We'd love to know. We've become curious about how home...
{Poll} Waiting for Missionaries
We've been counseled time and again that "waiting" for missionaries isn't a good idea, for anyone involved. And yet, it's a fairly common and accepted practice in Mormondom. I’m no exception; I sent a boy off on his mission with great intentions to wait for him. But I didn’t. I wrote him his...
{Poll} Breastfeeding in Public
I'm a new mom, and yes, I nurse. But I have mixed feelings about doing it in public. I am so grateful to be able to give my baby breast milk, and I love that it's healthy, easy, and free. But I'm not so sure about feeding her in public. I understand that it's not indecent exposure; it's a beautiful...
{Poll} Where's Your Pew?
We like to joke about the permanence of family pews in Mormondom, but seriously: where do you sit? Finding a place for your family to sit during sacrament meeting or stake conference can be a frustrating experience—particularly if you’re a family of nine. And if you’re a family of nine who...
