Forget It

They say pregnancy brain (a.k.a. momnesia)–a condition of short-term memory loss that occurs while you are growing another human being in your womb–ends once the baby arrives. So, why is it that I am still suffering from momnesia eight years after giving birth? It’s gotten to the point that if I don’t write something down, it doesn’t exist. This includes, but is not limited to special events, appointments, items to purchase at the store, and lately, where I put my keys. I am not getting any younger and my life is crammed with parenting, working, volunteering, running a household and … Continue reading →

Forget Not

Since being called as an apostle, I have loved hearing President Uchtdorf speak. Every time he speaks, there is something that resonates with me, and he has quickly become one of my “favorites” to listen to during General Conference. I especially love when he speaks to the women of the church in the General Relief Society Meeting like he did this past Saturday. I sat at home and watched conference on BYUtv not wanting to get dressed and go to the chapel, and I’m so grateful that I did not miss his talk. It seems that he has a way … Continue reading →

Forgetting and Technology

I think it’s fair to say that technology has been wonderfully beneficial for all of us in a great many ways. The simple fact that I’m writing this blog from my chair at my desk in my home and all of you are able to read it when I press a single button is amazing. You don’t even have to be associated with a wonderful place like families.com as there are so many free blogging sites and micro-blogging sites you can sign up for in mere seconds and share your ideas with the world. This is a powerful thing. Just … Continue reading →

When Stress Mounts: Rest, Reevaluate, Remember

There comes that inevitable day for every mother when the burden of daily self-sacrifice, lack of sleep and the constant barrage of needs and offenses finally takes its toll. A wave of guilt follows a perfectly normal and expected response to the hectic lifestyle of motherhood: I don’t feel like being a mom today. I’m sure there are days when an astronaut looks out of his spaceship and wishes he were back on earth. I’m sure the president sometimes wakes up in his White House bedroom and wishes he were back in Chicago. Every job, every privilege and every dream … Continue reading →

Rememberance of Things Past

One of the things we tend to do as human beings at times, is forget too easily. Compare two people and their memories of the same experience and you will soon see how different they are, because we forget. We can do the same with forget, we forget too easily. When we are undergoing a difficult situation, we need to remember how God has helped us and delivered us in the past. Past experience of God builds our trust and encouragement and hope for the future. It was David’s past experience of God and God’s faithfulness and deliverance that enabled … Continue reading →

Remember What You Contracted For

When you sign a contract, whether to buy a house or a car or an item on hire purchase there are certain things both parties agree to do. Once the contract is signed, both parties are required buy law to adhere to it. When we get married we also sign a contract. We contract to love, honor and cherish, or obey, depending on the version of your marriage service. We contract that we will keep on loving each other and being committed to each other for better ‘for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health,’ … Continue reading →

You Will Forget All Of This

Posted on by

This week I put together a book about my pregnancy and my son’s birth. I collected pictures of ultrasounds, my baby belly and the delivery and paired them up with excerpts from my blog and journal. As I was reading through old blog entries (most of these were private, not publicly posted), I could not believe how much detail I had already forgotten about my pregnancy. I forgot how miserable I was at times! I forgot how tired I was. When I looked at pictures, I realized I had forgotten how big I was! Some of you reading this are … Continue reading →

Little Things Mean a Lot

To lose a quick few pounds for that high school reunion in a couple of weeks you only have to remember a some simple rules.

This will flush out your body. • Skip the fast food restaurants. Go home and make a salad or some thinly sliced turkey and a vegetable. • Do not drink your calories. Forget the milkshakes and cappuccinos. … Continue reading →

Pregnancy and Forgetfulness

Posted on by

A recent study conducted on 90 women who were either not pregnant, in their first trimester, or in their third trimester, revealed that pregnancy does make women forgetful. The women who were in their third trimester had poorer memory function than the women who were not pregnant, especially auditory memory. Auditory memory involves remembering something that you’ve heard, which explains why you may find yourself repeatedly asking, “What did you ask me to do again?” I don’t know about you, but I don’t need a scientific study to tell me I lost my mind during pregnancy. I recall (no pun … Continue reading →
