Did you know??

Today is International Women's Day- how awesome is that?? Here's just a few women of the I love and admire.


Has there ever been a more dynamic and influential First Lady than Eleanor Roosevelt?



My most favorite author, Lucy Maud Montgomery



My other favorite author, J.K. Rowling



Chieko Okazaki, the first non-Caucasian to serve as a member of the General Relief Society Board. She was a wife, mother and educator, and her talks and writings have been very influential in my life.



My friend Carre, who is not only an amazing nurse and author but also a missionary (along with her husband and three children) devoting her life to helping the orphans and street children in Russia.



Rosa Parks, who took a stand by simply remaining seated



My own mom, who's pretty awesome



My girlies, who aren't women yet, but who will accomplish and experience more than I can even imagine

I am proud to be included in such outstanding company. Now I know how Anne Hathaway felt at the Oscars.
