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

Boston 2011





I was very fortunate to participate in a Teaching American History Grant this last school year. We had various trainings and received LOTS of fun books, dvds and ideas for my classroom. To top it off we got to fly to Boston and stay at the Embassy Suites by the airport and have a whirlwind trip of the many historic sites (and a few none) of Boston...including Plimoth (as spelled by William Bradford) Lowell Cotton Mills, Paul Revere home, Concord/Lexington green, USS Constitution, Bunker Hill, Old North and Old South churches.
We also had the opportunity to do some geneology work in Salem (one of my direct ancestors was hung), do temple work in the LDS temple and a harbor bay cruise. I'll post some pictures but I made one of the guys on my team take pictures for me and he has over 2000 so when he gets them organized and burned then I will have some.

Kerri,
I am so glad you had such a great time on your trip. Boston is such a fun place to visit. We used to have friends that lived there and got to visit them a few times. Which line has the 'witch' in it? ;0)

Sounds like you had a fantastic trip! Boston is tons of fun to visit. Justin has a "witch" in his line too-maybe you're related!
