By the time you read this, I am well on my way to Salt Lake City. Just for the day. KSL (channel 5) is doing their first-ever live event. This is the end of their two-week series on Studio 5 called Motherhood Matters.
I am honored that KSL invited me to join some amazing women so that we could discuss and celebrate motherhood. In front of like … a thousand people who will be there in-person. On live tv. Where all my mistakes will be shown. And a million trillion people will see my mistakes on tv.
Okay, so not a million trillion. But a lot. Oh — I’m not nervous. Not one bit.
Yeah, right.
Anyway, in addition to our gabbing about important stuff, we’ll be having a lot of fun! I’ll be sharing ideas for 5 things to save for your children/grandchildren. And I can’t wait to see what the other ladies have in store. I very much look forward to meeting authors Sheri Dew, Jane Clayson Johnson, Amanda Dickson, and DeAnne Flynn, as well as the KSL team.
And plus — plus! – guess who happens to be in SLC right now?? My parents! As in, the people I haven’t seen in a year! They just returned home to Maryland from their 2-year mission in Finland. We’re going to head to Maryland soon to spend time with them, but this will be such a fun teaser. And … I get to see several other friends + family who are in Utah and able to come. Super excited.
And … there come the butterflies again.

[...] liked this quote that Becky Higgins shared today. Yesterday morning I was having a hard time positively embracing my role as mother. [...]
Becky – we all know you will do great! Mistakes are what makes the world real and not a fantasy land
Good Luck!
Becky – You’ll do great! You’re an awesome speaker. And the added bonus are your parents! Have a wonderful Friday!!!
Best of luck Becky, I am sure you will be fab!
Have a great time. I love the quote. I printed it off another site for all the mothers in my life for mothers day. Enjoy the cooler weather.
Hi Becky – you will do wonderfully! Is there any way your interview can be posted for us to see?
Good luck, I’m sure it will be great! Enjoy the time with your family and friends. About saving things for children & grandchildren…I just have to share! My daugther just turned 1 (she and I share a b-day, so there will always be a party – for her of course ; )) and we asked all of our friends and family to contribute something to a “time capsule” we made for her. We have people all over the country and world, so it was a great way for them to be included in her celebration. The idea is for her to open it on her 18th birthday. We ended up with lots of letters to her in the future, my 92 year old grandpa wrote one and sealed it to make sure no one but our daughter would read it. We also had people who brought coins dated 2010, her birth year. We had lots of newspaper articles from friends around the world, a TV guide, receipts for stuff like milk, eggs and veggies, and some maps. It was a blast, everyone loved looking through the stuff. Before we officially seal it up, I’m going to add the outfit she wore to her birthday party and some pictures from that day. Oh! And I am totally doing the hand print, thanks so much for the idea! We did it her birthday morning and as tempted as I was to paint over it and do it again because it wasn’t just right, I left it just as it was and I love it. Thanks so much for all the inspiration
Have fun!!! Wanted to be there to see you in person and maybe have you sign one of my Becky Higgins books. But, just to busy today. But I will be watching
If this is going to be on live TV, will is also be available somewhere online at some point? I’d love to see this!

You will be Great!! Just take a deep breath, relax and know that you are talking about one of the many things you are great at – motherhood! This will be a breeze for you!
Enjoy your visit with your family too!
Wish this was being broadcast somewhere locally – is this something that can be put up on your site as a video after the fact so that all of us can enjoy it too?
You are going to be FABULOUS! I will say a special prayer for you… Can’t wait to hear all about it!
You will be fabulous! Really, I love how “human” and down to earth you are… so refreshing!
Enjoy your parents. Mine live in Maryland too, ( Olney). Have fun!
Becky- You were awesome today! If you were nervous it didn’t show. I watched the show sitting on the floor holding my sick three year old and entertaing my 8 month old, but I didn’t want to miss it!
Becky: you were amazing today. It was a pleasure to meet you.
Love this quote Becky! How about using a bit of your “Becky Higgins talent” and sharing it in a few other colors??? I would love to put this in a 5×7 frame to give to all my mom friends…it would be cool to have a few colors to share with all of them.
Thanks so much for inspiring, it seems like it’s always just when I need it most
One of my favorite posts from you was “I failed English.” I know you want to focus on the good in the world and we all want to put our best foot forward, but that post shared some raw honesty about NOT being perfect and I can TOTALLY relate to that, we all can.
I was in the audience yesterday and you were wonderfully well spoken and poised (My favorite part was when you danced during the break-I have a fun pic of that) and you didn’t have any mistakes, but even if you did it’s those times that we can all relate to. It’s those times that make us all connect and realize that deep down we’re all the same.
Sometimes from the outside it looks like people have the perfect life, the perfect kids, the perfect marriage, (none of which I can relate to) but it’s nice to know at the end of the day that we all worry about the same things and yes we all make mistakes. It’s the mistakes that tie us all together. so even if you had messed up we all would have been able to identify with you (and not judged you) in that moment.
Bless those who share the less than perfect moments!!

You were AWESOME! So fun to watch (and so excited for you that you got to hang out with your parents for the day!)
