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.

Just a little reminder...

Family Proclamation

Tomorrow is the first day of this year's celebration on The Family: A Proclamation to the World! We've got a lot of guest bloggers lined up and even a few giveaways {the prizes are terrific, I promise!}. By we I mean Jocelyn of We Talk of Christ,  Stephanie of Diapers & Divinity and Middle-aged Mormon Man.

I am so excited! 

Thanks to all those who have helped spread the word, including LDS Living online here. Grab a button on my sidebar to share on your blog.

We'd like for you to participate by writing your own posts. Here' s the blog hop schedule to get your thinking juices going for ideas:

•    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 - any blog post you write about the Proclamation will fit in!
•    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.



As a side note: This cereal mix is so yummy! We had some yesterday {thanks to my sweet niece} and could. not. stop. eating. it.

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.
