My Passion

I have one main passion in my life: FAMILY.

(I also have a passion for Christmas....)

And not just my own family, ALL families.  

I have found that there are 3 main ways I can strengthen families:

1.  Through the gospel

2.  Through music

3.  Through birth

I have also found that any time I do #1, or #3, I always include #2.  

I recently started a new blog, called LDS Music Mama, where I share ideas and pointers about using music more effectively at home and in church callings.  I have already gotten so much great feedback about this blog, and I am excited to share my insights with others.  You can become a follower of the blog or become a fan on Facebook to receive updates on new posts.  I also have it categorized so you can easily navigate to find ideas for certain callings and age groups.  I welcome questions and ideas!  I hope it can be a great resource for many families and people serving in music callings.  Feel free to share this blog with your friends and family, and/or add it to your blog list.  :)

Most of you are probably aware of my doula and childbirth education work.  I now can add that I am a published writer on the topic.  I recently wrote an article for an international doula magazine on the benefits of writing and using lullabies.  Click here to read the article.

Music truly can enhance any experience.  I do not view music the way a typical musician does.  There is so much more than a perfect performance.  My degree in Music Therapy has given me a different viewpoint that I look forward to sharing with you!
