Authors of The Utah Mama's Handbook support UEA Children at Risk Foundation

Want to know the operating hours of the Ogden Dinosaur Park and Museum? Need a good vocal coach for your son or daughter? Searching for some kid-friendly websites?

Information about all of these subjects can be found in The Utah Mama's Hand-book, a reference guide for Utah mothers and families.

Book co-authors Rachael Herrscher and Stephanie Peterson, both mothers and Utah residents, say their mission is “to make motherhood easy by making parenting resources accessible and easy to use. Our goal, like every other mother's, is to educate, enrich and inspire the children in our lives.” The Utah Mama's Handbook includes over 25 chapters with information ranging from places to go and things to do, the outdoors, day care, community services, libraries, computers, and more.

Herrscher has a degree in Family and Human Development with a minor in English from the University of Utah . Peterson is pursuing a degree in Construction Management from Weber State University . Working together, they formed Utah Mama, Inc., and The Utah Mama's Handbook is the first of many resources planned for parents.

In addition to helping mothers and parents, Herrscher and Peterson are donating $2 from the sale of each book to support the UEA Children at Risk Foundation.
