Actress Katherine Heigl was recently featured on the September cover of Good Housekeeping magazine. She discussed her life as a wife and mother from her secluded ranch in Utah.

“We had big dreams of expanding our family, moving to the mountains and having a quieter life,” she told Good Housekeeping. “Utah is spectacularly beautiful, the people are wonderful and kind, it’s an easy commute from L.A. — and there’s no traffic!”

The actress best known for her role on ABC’s “Grey’s Anatomy” has always had a tie to the Beehive state, having been raised in the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-days Saints while growing up in Connecticut.

Although Heigl is no longer practicing the religion, she credited her family’s faith for giving her a strong foundation.
