Written by Kimberly Morrison, Guest Blogger Our story begins with match.com, which is how we met back in 2008. We like to think of ourselves as pioneers of modern dating apps. I, a teacher, sent a hello message to a hot firefighter. We first met up at Starbucks and talked for hours – far after Starbucks closed.

Written by Agnes Mattson, Guest Blogger Someone once told me that my life would be very rewarding and happy. My life was anything but that the last 4 years.

Written by Caiti Pidd, Guest Blogger My husband, Phil, and I met after our senior year of high school.  It was my 18th birthday and Phil was in town visiting a friend.  He walked into the room and I immediately felt a connection. Cheesy, right?  Fast forward through college, breaking up a few times due to distance and then deciding to stay friends, I moved out to Utah and decided to…

Written by Patricia Monson, Guest Blogger Post-partum depression is something that’s hard to understand if you haven’t experienced it yourself. During my pregnancy, I understood that it existed, but didn’t think it would ever happen to me.  How wrong I was. Post-partum depression hit hard, and I was left wondering how on earth I was going to manage my mental health while caring for the newborn I loved so much.…
