Thank you!! We can all use fresh inspiration and a reminder of the importance of our task!
Gosh, I’m so thankful (once again) that I found your blog in 2009! You are so encouraging. Have yourself a great week!

I look forward to your Sunday posts.They really help with the upcoming week.Thank you.
Thanks I really needed this today. Gross rainy day outside and this month is going to be the tighest we’ve seen in a LONG time, and my son turns 2 at the end of the month. Luckily I’ve been picking up things over the last few months so basically all we’ll need to purchase is ice cream.

Love your blogs and all the help you give to allow me to try to be the best mother I can. #2 will be here in Feb, and your 6 blessings give me hope that it’s still doable to be a good mother to more than 1 🙂
Thank you.
So short and so simple yet so powerful. Thanks for the encouragement!
