Raising Keri has given me the confidence I needed to become a mother.
Raising Cory has refined me and challenged me to become a better mother and person.
Raising Eli has reminded me how to treasure and then savor and remember all the sweet moments of motherhood that are sporadically dotted along the way of the mundane every day monotous tasks of being a homemaker.
Raising Ari has brought me (some) patience and has sealed my testimony of the sacredness, nobility and divinity of what it means to be a mother.
Motherhood is truly a priceless gift, a gift given to us from our gracious and loving Heavenly Father … and it is a gift all women can enjoy whether they have children or not.

I LOVE YOU!
AND I LOVE THIS!
I’m glad you got a pick with you and ALL the kids up! “Refinement”…isn’t that what kids to us!? Throw all our rusty edges OUT THERE for us to polish?!??
Ari is sacred, for sure. Eli, DOES remind to savor. Cory has made you who you are, and Keri…yes, instills confidence because she is so amazing…
You are a mother I only hope to be.
Thanks for reminding me of the simple joy of motherhood!
