Us mommies have to be reminded that the hustle and bustle shouldn't get in the way of those times when we should be paying more attention to the real reason we are mommies. <br /><br />Mommy Sauri~<br />http://casadesauri.blogspot.comMommy Sauri~https://www.blogger.com/profile/17226413862670337582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4340995026304136884.post-27387085427505664102012-01-22T19:07:41.022-08:002012-01-22T19:07:41.022-08:00Beautiful post, thanks Cait!

It makes me feel like how could I think about having another, I am already overpopulating Lehi. It makes me feel like I suck because I can't afford every sport team and five hundred dance classes and that I am not doing what is right because I work because I have to, not because I want to, like she does. But every time I talk to you, I feel like I can do it, and why shouldn't I have one more, and how much would I be missing if I only had two? Is being able to afford season tickets to Disneyland more important than being able to bring a soul into this life and loving and hugging the guts out of it? Never. You always remind me of that. You're the best. (Ryan says to quit trying to convince me that 6 is our magic number, 5 is plenty. Ha ha ha) glad you are back. I have missed our chats.Handi Andihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03893737195236753379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4340995026304136884.post-25554716339893932942012-01-11T14:10:39.713-08:002012-01-11T14:10:39.713-08:00What a wonderful post!

I always remember someone's blog post where they showed pictures of their sons action figures set up all over the house. On the banister. In the bathtub. etc. She reminded us that life won't always be like that and that we will miss it later. Toys used to bother me, but now I LOVE when I see action figures and little toy fairies all over. Someday I will miss it. <br />Thanks for sharing your thoughts! We have 4 children and want one or two more. Some of my friends here in West Virginia think we are CRAZY! Most of them only have two, and they are done.MegJillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04078178242033905135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4340995026304136884.post-2283838604511527982012-01-10T12:40:03.394-08:002012-01-10T12:40:03.394-08:00This post brought tears to my eyes for so many rea...This post brought tears to my eyes for so many reasons. I feel like I have been rushing around so much this past year and that I had kind of lost focus on what is most important. Now, that I am actually taking time to slow down and say no to more commitments I am enjoying my children and life so much more.Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12650224055229257819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4340995026304136884.post-55540702237453135792012-01-10T11:19:48.596-08:002012-01-10T11:19:48.596-08:00I love this post.

Have you read "teaching your children Joy" or "teaching your children values" from Linda and Richard Eyre? They are AWESOME. The values book has activities for preschool ages up and we use them for FHE lessons. We haven't been very good lately, but we usually pick a value a month and my kids LOVE it. you can get either book at thriftbooks.com for 3.00 each (plus free shipping)Smilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12687114830201612004noreply@blogger.com
