The Piano Guys Release Their First Live Album

THE PIANO GUYS RELEASE THEIR FIRST LIVE ALBUM

In my book, Real Moms: Making It Up As We Go, I’m really insistent about NOT giving advice. I think social media has overcorrected modern mothering in this area. The last thing we, as an American parenting society, need is one more article telling us what to do or not do. But I do believe in being reflective and honest when talking about our parenting experience with other mothers. (Clearly by using the term “parenting experience,” I’ve been influenced by this saturated parenting market. Blegh. I’m disgusted with myself.) So, in my quest to be honest, I will reveal a few items (I won’t number them because that would make it seem more like advice, which I’m not suggesting it is) that I wish I myself had known three kids ago (or five) as I raise my pack today.

Behind the Scenes of the Hill Cumorah Pageant

By LDS Living Staff

This year, while most Americans were sleeping, I was excitedly boarding a 1:00 a.m. flight. After one layover in Atlanta, Georgia, I would be landing in Rochester, New York, at around 11:00 a.m. local time before loading onto a bus with a handful of other weary but eager travelers destined for the Hill Cumorah in Palmyra.
