Mommy


I just love being a Mommy-- With six children under the age 8. Let me be more specific; Their ages are: 8, 5, 4, 2-1/2, 1-1/2 and 4 months old. Sometimes I am busy. Did I say sometimes? Well, what I really meant was-- ALL the time. But one day, my house will be too quiet, too clean and too empty.
I love the book--'Devotions For Sacred Parenting' by Gary Thomas. If you have never read it-DO! It is great. He tells a story about how the kiddos would constantly destroy the grass and the Mom would get so upset. But the smart, wise Dad told her--"Honey, we're not raising grass, we are raising boys".
So when my little ones spill, break or ruin, I love to think, "I'm not raising an immaculate house, I'm raising children that ARE blessings!

Good morning Wendy :)

Holy smokes! You ARE busy! I know what you mean about the house being empty. I can complain about the mess, but I would miss them if they were out of the house. I only have one baby left after this year and she'll be out of the house in about 6 years. The time goes by soooo quickly.

Hello, Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving a comment. I can see you are a pink kinda girl too. Pink toilet paper.... what else could a pink girl possibly use! LOL! Hope your renovations go smoothly, as I know from doing mine there is nothing worse than not having use of a shower and bath for a little while. Eww not nice!

Thanks for visiting my blog and my charm bracelets. You are wonderful to be mother to 6children. I only had 2 but loved every minute of their childhood and beyond and now they are both married and I have my first grandchild.

I can't even imagine! You must be sooo busy but you seem to have a great attitude and you are doing things that you enjoy like decorating and blogging which is so important because no one is happy if mom's not happy!
