For the next several days I will be posting about the World Congress of Families. This year it is being held in Sydney, Australia.  Remember how we helped to raise funds for Angela to attend? She is sending daily reports of the presentations, interviews she is able to have, and more. I am excited to share with you what she is experiencing. There are so many around the world - politicians, religious leaders, community organizers, trained professionals, and others - who are dedicated to defending the family. I will try to post each day's events in order so you are not reading them backwards as you scroll down. I have broken up Angela's summaries into several posts so it isn't overwhelming to see a HUGE post. Remember, if you have any questions you would like her to ask when she gives her interviews, leave them in the comments and I will pass them along to her.

Come Celebrate The Family: A Proclamation to the World With Us!

It's that time of year again!

Time to join us in our third annual celebration of The Family: A Proclamation to the World! Can I get a big HOORAY!! Or as my son likes to say "Booyeah-ha-ha"!

The celebration starts Monday, September 17 and runs through Sunday, September 30th. Two whole weeks of testimony, inspiration, and insight on the importance of FAMILIES in our society today.

This year I am teaming up with Jocelyn from We Talk of Christ, MMM from Middle-aged Mormon Man, and Stephanie from Diapers and Divinity. We've each got a terrific line up of guest bloggers with some other fun things thrown in.

Here's a sneak peek at just a few of the guest bloggers writing for our celebration:
Shawni @ 71 Toes
Kristin @ Inkablinka
Melanie @ Sugardoodle
Mormon Guy @ (Gay) Mormon Guy
Annette @ Annette Lyon

We encourage you to join in celebrating with us by sharing your thoughts through comments on the posts as well as prepare some posts of your own to link to the blog hops. Here is the blog hop schedule so you can start planning and writing:
  • Wed. September 19 - Share an FHE lesson or Craft about The Family Proclamation
  • Sun. September 23 - Share your personal thoughts or experiences with any aspect of the Proclamation
  • Wed. September 26 - Family Proclamation Photo Essay - pair photos of your family with different phrases from the Proclamation. Check out photo essays from past celebrations here and here for ideas.
Please spread the word! The more people know about it the merrier the celebration. Grab a blog button below. Share on twitter using the hashtags #CelebrateFamily and #FamilyProclamation.

  1. Hi! Any chance you could switch back to letting your whole post show up in our feed reader? I know it takes just one extra step to click to get to your blog, but when you follow a l of blogs like I do, I'm honestly not very inclined to take the time. Thanks!

Put "eat chocolate" at the top of your list of things to do today. That way, at least you'll get one thing done. ☺ There, don't you feel better?

Please leave a comment! I enjoy hearing your thoughts, whether you agree with me or not. If we all agreed on everything how boring would that be? Worse than eating white chocolate, because it's fake. So be real, be yourself.
