When Shannon Foster goes to work, she sometimes sports toy crowns and sits beneath blanket forts.
After teaching seminary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for 13 years, Foster retired in 2012 when her daughter, Hannah, was born, but the Utah mother still wanted to help people study the gospel.
Using her years of experience teaching LDS youths, Foster created a business around scripture study guides and teaching tools, which allows her to share her passion while playing dress-up with her daughter.
"She’s an amazing teacher, and all her students loved her," said Foster's husband, Tyson. "It was almost sad to have her retire because the church is losing such good talent here, but we knew that retiring was the right thing."
Foster is putting that talent to use through her online business, The Red Headed Hostess.
She first recognized the interest in her tips when she posted a scripture study guide on her website that quickly grew in popularity. She then took art classes and created a study guide for the Book of Mormon featuring illustrations, charts and tips.
"I wanted to get that into the home," Foster said. "That was the whole reason I started this site because I wanted to get the skills that had become second nature to me into homes and into families and to parents who want so desperately to teach with power."
“When we are confronted with evidence that challenges our deeply held beliefs we are more likely to reframe the evidence than we are to alter our beliefs. We simply invent new reasons, new justifications, new explanations. Sometimes we ignore the evidence altogether.” (Mathew Syed 'Black Box Thinking')
Did she retire in 2012, or did she "retire" in 2012, when she had a child?
D.N., Nov. 14, 2014 wrote:"We previously had not employed women who have minor children at home, in consideration of their important role as mothers," Webb said. "While we continue to recognize that contribution that they make in their homes, we also recognize that sometimes their personal and family circumstances require them to work."

Interesting... a nonexisting word I understood at the first sight --- without Urban Dictionary.
by the way I think HQ here doesn't mean High Quality; or 77 megapixel.
