Just heard my husband in the next room yell "are you pooping" so I responded "...um...no?" and he shouted back "obviously I'm talking to our toddler."

So that's a thing that just happened in our house.

I toasted four hamburger buns on the grill, brought them in, put them on the counter, and now there's only half of one bun left. I cannot figure out, for the life of me, where it went.

Eli McCann: Why the Mormon legend (or myth) of the ‘Lone Cedar Tree’ matters

Mitt Romney is having a meltdown on twitter over my column that he clearly did not actually read.

Latter-day Saints and former members love to play the celebrity name game, facts be damned.

Left our 11 month old with my parents last night, our first night away from him, and when we FaceTimed them at 10 PM to ask how he did going down to bed, they were at a family party and baby was up partying with them.

I'm obsessed with their grandparent era.

Told my husband I heard a fun idea where we spend 10 minutes every night cleaning up before bed and he informed me he already does this for an hour and "oh my god did you not even notice" and now I regret sharing this.
