MormonTimes.com: LDS women develop own Saturday night traditions
Mormon households will be without their priesthood holders this Saturday night when the priesthood session of LDS general conference convenes. And some women have those two hours already blocked out. Shopping, potlucks, games and quilting are among the activities that have become tradition within temporarily menless homes.
The women of the Thorstrom and Spilker families have their own longstanding tradition when their husbands, brothers and sons head to their local stake centers.
"We get together and go out and it encourages our husbands and brothers to go to priesthood session," Heidi Atkin said. "While they're at priesthood ... we get girls' time."
