PTA Convention at BYU

This week I was invited to attend the UT State PTA Convention at BYU.  I was able to give a presentation on White Ribbon Week and to promote decency in the commissioners hall. Here’s a short clip of the intro I gave on White Riboon Week:

Here I am, pictured below, with a fellow member from Citizens For Families promoting White Ribbon Week and Community Decency Standards.  I was also able to share information about the Parents Television Council and my platform on Decency.  I met so many great women from all over Utah who were volunteering to improve their children’s education and school experience.  It was a great day to be in the midst of so many good women.

This was the most wonderful celebration of Motherhood I have ever attended!  I’m so grateful for such inspiring women whose friendship daily blesses my life!  It was a privilege to be able to share my platform at this great event!

Lots of people have a favorite historical figure. For Karmel Larson, it’s Abigail Adams, wife of America’s second president, John Adams. “We named our daughter after her,” said Larson, a mother of four children (the youngest is 18 months and the oldest is 6) who grew up in Washington state. “She’s a perfect blend of a woman who had her own accomplishments but was fiercely devoted to her family.”
