Meet the new General Relief Society Presidency here!

This is an excellent article that talks about the goals of the new General Relief Society President for the Sisters of Church.   It talks about her hopes of helping the sisters find true happiness.

This is a great resource page, especially for those with calling in Relief Society, it has lots of ideas and gives several email address for other sisters with various callings in Relief Society if you want to share ideas.

A place to share experiences that have helped us grow and learn; a place to testify of our Father in Heaven and the Savior's workings in our lives; a place to tell about the surprises that life brings along the way.

A wonderful collection of stories that give new insight to gospel principles.

Ideas for Relief Society as well as household tips, moral booters, etc.

Have you ever noticed that when you first married, you treated your sweetheart differently than you do now? With time, change is necessary in any endeavor. HOWEVER, in a marriage, the changes should be positive, and should reflect a growth and maturity in the love you have for one another. That's what this web site is all about.

Sanctify is an email list for members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who are concerned about inactive, non-member, or new member loved ones. The idea for the list and it's name stems from 1Corinthians 7:14, which speaks of "unbelieving" spouses being sanctified by their member spouses.

Different talks given by Presidents of the Church or Apostles about the great role of being a mother and the importance of it.

A special page for mothers of missionaries. Lots of ideas for giving these wonderful Elders support from their mothers.

Talk by President Howard W. Hunter that is wonderful for fathers (I assume that most of the mothers reading this have husbands to share it with)

This is an essay by Donna Harlow Gelter who is a very talented writer. This is funny, yet true experience about having her fifth child in world where the average family has 1.57 children.

Donna Harlow Gelter's humorous continuation of having her fifth child. (See part one above.)

This has three mail groups one is for teens, one for parents, and one for stay-home moms. I believe there is now a waiting list for the stay-home moms group, but there are no waiting lists for the other two.

This is a page for married LDS women seeking strength from each other. It includes pages for recipes, hubby tips, lesson ideas, romantic ideas, and much more.

While this site is not "LDS," it is for parents at home and is excellent as it contains many good ideas and support for those of us who are mainly raising children.

Statistics show that 40% of children under age 5 keep their parents up at night, and 1 out of 3 babies is colicky. This site has tapes that may be the solution. I understand that these have also been used successfully on Alzheimer's and cardiac patients.

This website is more than just a place to shop for books, it also has links to many other LDS webpages and has them well indexed to find the topics that you need.

Focus on the Family is the organization that James Dobson started. While not LDS, they are an excellent Christian organization and sell many good materials that I have found very useful.

Educational/Spiritual type of Materials. This is a great bookstore with all kinds of whole books that they recommend.  I found classice titles here that I haven't seen elsewhere.

Charlotte Mason had a love for children and a concern that they develop a lifetime love of learning. She based her philosophy on the Latin word for education ~ "educare," which means "to feed and nourish."

This site has good information of use to anyone who want to help their children learn. While it is designed for homeschooling families, it is really excellent for any parent.  Charlotte Mason has some very good philosophies about education.
