We are looking forward to a great 2014, when the Exponent II magazine turns 40 years old! You can always read past issues of the Exponent here, but for ease, I’ll link to this year’s issues below. I know there were lots of buzz around the temple issue in the Mormon women’s circles I frequent.
Fall 2013 Midwest Pilgrims Issue
Here on the blog, we’ve had lots of fun, too. This year we welcomed a new blogger, Melody!
Melody’s inaugural post was Lord, Let Me Be a Wind Tunnel.
And her most-commented-on post was Claiming Our Name.
We’ve also started a new series of YW lesson posts, which will continue in the new year. You can find all of them under the “Young Women Lessons” category.
And now time for the Superlatives!
