Here is a quote I have grown to love. I am on a quest to simplify my life and I want to start now. I want to enjoy/experience the spiritual benefits of a simplified lifestyle. Enjoy....
Mothers Who Know Do Less
Mothers who know do less. They permit less of what will not bear good fruit eternally. They allow less media in their homes, less distraction, less activity that draws their children away from their home. Mothers who know are willing to live on less and consume less of the world’s goods in order to spend more time with their children—more time eating together, more time working together, more time reading together, more time talking, laughing, singing, and exemplifying. These mothers choose carefully and do not try to choose it all. Their goal is to prepare a rising generation of children who will take the gospel of Jesus Christ into the entire world. Their goal is to prepare future fathers and mothers who will be builders of the Lord’s kingdom for the next 50 years. That is influence; that is power.

I love that quote. I'm feeling the need to simplify too.
I hope all goes well with your little man's surgery. I know lots of kids who have had to get tubes in their ears. I hope he will feel so much better (and good luck to Mom!)
You are such a good mom. You and Rob are trying so hard to do all of the right things. This will be a blessing to you all of your life.
I like the quote too. Thanks for sharing it.
Love you...
This is one of my very favorite talks. I pull it out and read it every so often. It is a good reminder with what is really important in life. I think we all can benefit from 'doing less.'
Hey Potters! How are ya? I didn't know you were having triplets?!? Wow, congratulations!
