Mothers Who Know

"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." ~Julie Beck

Our Yard

Since school has been out for over a month now I thought I'd post a few pictures of the work we have been doing.
We bought some brick pavers to trim our flowers, built a bench for the porch, tore out the sod on the side and planted a whole bunch of strawberry plants, (that is still a work in progress) plus I have made the kids weed everyday and we don't have any weeds in our backyard. Also our garden is doing great.

Our love bench!



Bricks layed by Kathryn...

Strawberries...yummmm.
