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

Stephanie!



12 years ago the nurses handed me a baby with long (2 inch) black, out of control hair. She looked like a munchee munchee baby. It didn't matter whether we gelled her hair or anything it ended up looking crazy. It reminded me of those pencils you used to spin and the hair would go all over:) Now she has cute blond curls that she cut off last week. She was the best baby she would sleep for 12 hours when she was 3 weeks old and it made it really easy to have 4 kids.

Happy Birthday Stephanie!
