Here are a few of my LOVES over the past few months...

- Being a mom and wife......Truly, I think this is the most important role I could have in my life right now. I have to remind myself that what I do each and every day is so important and that I am helping 4 little children develop into who they will become for the world. Not only that, but supporting my husband who would do anything for our family, and works so hard so I can stay home with our children.. At times I may be impatient, overwhelmed, stressed, and sometimes mean, but most of the time, I am so happy, alive, and full of joy for the opportunity to be the things I have always wanted most ...a wife, and a mother.
Pictures to come REALLY soon.
Confession:
I've been a terrible blogger! Okay, that one was obvious.
My confession is this... As stated above, I love reading old blog posts. But I also cringe at things I said, my language, and even some of my clothing. Time really does change people. I found myself wanting to delete some pictures, and some of my past posts, but what can I say. It's who I was. I enjoy that time and age make me wiser, and a better me. I wonder what things from the present time I will look back on in 5 years and think the same thing that I do now.
I read some of my old journals from High School last week ,and seriously wanted to burn them. I don't know if I would ever want anyone to read them, let alone my children. Should I get rid of them?

I have soooo missed your blogging! I hope one day I can get myself back into the church and feel the happiness that I can see you are feeling. Do not get rid of your journals. If there are things you regret in them, your kids will only see that you were human, made mistakes, and changed your life. I think you would regret getting rid of them.
PS~I deleted my FB because with me working from home and making my money based on productivity, it was too distracting. :)
save those journals. tuck them away somewhere safe. one day, when they're A LOT older, grown-ups themselves, they'll have received the knowledge that mom is just a human too!
I have gone through my journals and torn out a few pages here and there. I think it's important to learn and grow from our mistakes, but I also think some of my past mistakes that I have repented of are in the past and I can't say I ever want to reread and re-live them! But that's just me!
