I have some amazingly talented friends... authors, public speakers, singers, teachers, life coaches... they have spent time developing these talents (as well as being born with them:-) I am grateful to each of them for blessing my life with their talents! I have pondered this weekend where I am spending my time, being reminded that JOY comes in the smallest moments of my life and that I can have it with me as often as I CHOOSE it. From the time I was a little girl I have sensed a GREAT calling and mission, I just didn't know what FORM it would show up in! Time continues to open my eyes to one of my greatest purposes and teachers... motherhood:-)
"She who can paint a masterpiece or write a book that will influence millions deserves the admiration and plaudits of man, but she who rears. a family of beautiful sons and daughters, whose influence will be felt through generations to come, long after paintings have faded and books have been destroyed, she deserves the highest honor that man can give and the choicest blessings of God. In her high duty and service to humanity, she is co-partner with the Creator himself."
President David O. McKay

What a great quote! Thanks for sharing
Girl you never cease to amaze/inspire me! Can you e-mail me with some more details on what you do for child of the day(I have some ideas but wanted to know what you do) Where to get magnetic paint, and I love the idea of the daily deotional, we have scriptures but I like the idea of having a monthly value, the prophet/leader thing. I like the idea of having it where we can all see it too, good reminders. Anyway...thanks for the wonderful example that you are....

You nailed it right on the head! (not that I have children) However; I have always believe that raising children correctly takes a talented, organized, patient woman. This is why I am so scared to have children... you are such a great example of how to run a beautiful household... You are doing a great job!!
Thanks for the great reminder. Love that quote!
Thank you for always lifting me up and remembering to be proud to be "just a mom"
