And thus an idea was born.  In Aug of 2000, Mormonchic.com first launched its website, with just a few pages and with just a few staff members. Today Mormonchic.com has staff writers across the country and has seven chic sections: Gospel Chic, DealDiva Chic, Recipe Chic, Mommy Chic, Style Chic, Crafty Chic, Healthy Chic. 

In the future, Mormonchic.com hopes to continue to serve as a resource for chic Mormon chicks across the country and the world. If you have suggestions on how we can better serve you don't hesitate to drop us a line: feedback.

By the way, we did finally get some punch recipes.
