Mormons and Mormonism are all over the news lately, from last year’s Jimmermania, to Mitt Romney’s lead in the Republican primaries of this year. Add to that The Book of Mormon Musical‘s attention and awards, and the rising popularity (outside of the Church) of segments of the Bloggernacle like Mormon Mommy Blogs, and you have something of a perfect storm. Almost nobody has notheard about Mormons of late.If you’ve spent much time exploring “all things Mormon” on the ‘net, you’ve probably noticed there are tons of blogs to follow, forums of all shapes and sizes, and even plenty of outlets that encourage cynicism over faith. In all this, where does one go to do things like promote their blog to the LDS community, get a question answered, or just participate in faith-based discussions regarding doctrine, our faith, and our role in the world? Well there’s a new best answer to those questions: ZionList.com http://networkedblogs.com/qEC1S

Christmas Bucket Advent November 27, 2011 By Beckie Counting down the days until Christmas is a source of excitement for kids throughout the month of December. Caroline from The Feminist Housewife created an awesome bucket and branch advent calendar that totally rivals the Pottery Barn inspiration.

Bible Verse Advent Cards – FREE PRINTABLES! If you stopped by yesterday, you saw my post about Advent Calendars.So far, we have four in our house and I’m thinking we might need a fifth… Haha! The Happy Hubby came into the kitchen yesterday and was like, “How many of these things do we have to keep up with every day?”I smiled and said very matter-of-fact-ly, “ALL OF THEM!”But in all of my Advent Calendar Internet searching, I couldn’t find anything that had a printable for little cards to put in each Advent pocket that featured Bible Verses from the Christmas story. http://happyhomefairy.com/2010/11/30/bible-verse-advent-cards-free-printables/

Bringing in Holiday Cheer with Decorating and Traditions
by Marie on November 25, 2011
It’s that time of year… the holidays are here! The turkey has been cooked, eaten, and made into leftovers for sandwiches. It’s now time to start spreading the holiday cheer. And what better way to do it than decorating the house with all the festive frills and flare.
In our family, we celebrate Christmas and begin the month long celebration by decorating our tree. The Christmas tree sets the mood for the rest of the month, our holiday wouldn’t be the same without it.
