this morning i read this article.
what mother doesn't feel imperfect at times? for me, this has been one of those weeks!
i want to remember these parts from this article:
"But what mother doesn't worry? We all fear that our faults will be the downfall of our children, even though that's rarely the case. Kids don't need perfect mothers; kids need mothers who love them fiercely."
"Every day I come to realize more and more that my job as a mother is not to prevent anything bad from happening to my children....They will have trials, regardless of what I pass on to them. My job as a mother is to teach them to be courageous in the face of uncertainty and strong throughout affliction."
i do love my kids fiercely.
here are a few fun photos i found on my phone this week.
kai was super excited to dress up as thing 2 for his 2nd grade program today.
vivian is a delight. sadie painted her toes and it is soooo dainty and cute!
sadie had a difficult day at school. she sent me a text all about it, which i'm so glad she felt like she could do...anyway, this was the picture i sent her.
for some reason lately, i have thought a lot about inversions!
we were going to talk about the symbolism of it for family night (which we didn't end up doing) so i had this picture printed off.
i love the scripture that says, "arise from the dust." also, pres. hinckley's quote that says, "move to higher ground".
it's pretty much been my thought of the week.
sadie left me this as my background on my phone. it was a happy surprise!
