About Emily

I'm a mom of four, currently ages 9, 6, 3, and 6 months. I've been married for 13 years and live in Utah. I went to Rick’s College and BYU and earned a BS in Health Science and minors in History and International Development. I also earned a teaching certificate for secondary education and did my student teaching in Western Samoa. I love history and have enjoyed volunteering at This Is the Place Heritage Park in Salt Lake City in the past. In my pre-mom life I worked for the Welfare Department of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. My favorite hobby is currently blogging, but I've also been passionate about remodeling, the outdoors, and sewing.
