Sometimes my husband teases me about living in the past. OK, I admit that I still listen to the radio station that plays hits from the 1960s and ’70s — because that’s the era when I grew up, and those songs remind me of special people and experiences. I loved attending school and still stay in touch with friends that date clear back to junior high (thanks to Facebook). I fondly remember all the amazing opportunities that came my way at work and often reflect on some of the stories I did and people I met who changed my life. I miss being in the mission field in Georgia — the place, the people and the missionaries will always be on my mind and in my heart. And, now that our house is quiet, I often wistfully look back at the time when I was a younger mom — raising our four children and wishing I could go back to “the good old days” of early morning piano practicing, car pools, soccer and lacrosse games, recitals, plays and choir concerts.

I had an unexpected spiritual lesson taught to me after we implemented a new chore/allowance system with our kids. We had recently moved and wanted to get organized. It also coincided with the start of school (with one of our kids starting kindergarten). Don’t all the parenting gurus talk about making sure you disrupt as many routines at once? (No, no they don’t. What were we thinking?!?)

Mormon Moviegoers is a collective of LDS film reviewers helping you to make informed decisions about Hollywood films. It was founded by family counselor Jonathan Decker (of Ask a Mormon Therapist).

Heather James was raised (mostly) in California, met her husband, Harvey, at BYU, and has two adult children. After 35 years (and with much trepidation), she recently applied to BYU to finish her bachelor’s degree. Heather is a recent brain cancer survivor and gives thanks every day for her life, her faith, and her Savior who was by her side every step of the way. She loves history, puzzles, ice cream and playing the piano (not necessarily in that order). Heather and her husband live in Columbia, Missouri.

The infatuation with “50 Shades of Grey” is startling proof of where we are at as a society (100 MILLION copies sold??!).

I hope you all had a Happy Halloween! Here are a few Mormon celebrities who found fun ways to celebrate the holiday:

When Michael McLean sat at a piano and wondered what it would be like if he met the innkeeper who turned away Mary and Joseph, he had no idea that his questions would turn into a beloved Christmas tradition. And this year the play that has endeared audiences for 23 years ago is back again for another season of uplifting music and performances.
