New Thoughts From An Old Person....

Hi ladies. what a good idea this is. Thanks for inviting me to be a part of this blog! I like being able to hear the innermost thoughts and feelings of you beautiful darling sweet young women. Hearing your stories and visiting your homes and holding your babies makes me wish I could do it all over again! What a great place you are all at in your lives right now. You all look so happy and content. I hope that is the case with you all. Mother hood is the greatest blessing there is in life. We are all so lucky and blessed to be mothers (and grandmothers), and women, and wives. Enjoy this time ladies. Enjoy every day and every minute. Find joy in serving your family. Find joy and happiness in making your husbands and your children happy. It is a labor of love isn't it? It is worth it! Being a wife, mother and homemaker is our calling, cherish it, treasure it find joy in it and you will be happy.

  1. Thanks, Mom. You're the ultimate example of finding joy in serving your kids. Even when that means doing dishes for them at midnight... :)

  2. What a good post Mom. I can feel your conviction from here! I am grateful for your example of finding joy in motherhood - in the simple day-to-day tasks that come with the territory. I have so many fond memories of you just taking the time to enjoy us--from joy-school to dance parties in the van. I remember coming to you saying, "Mom, I'm bored..." and you always had several suggestions of fun things I could do to occupy my time. Thanks for that memory.

  3. Mom every time I feel like I'm starting to get burned out I think of you and the day you spent here while I was at girls camp. The boys were happy, the house was clean, and dinner was made!! And to top it all off, you said, "That was so much fun!" Hahaha, you are my HERO!!! Love You!
