“Training up a child means showing them how to: make corn tortillas, pedal a bicycle, make up a bed, put toys away, cook for forty people in one hour, read, demonstrate respect for others, and a thousand other wonderful things. For a mother who loves her children, training is not a chore, it is a full-time all-consuming passion. They are worth every minute of time and trouble to every dedicated mother.”
“Look into your child’s eyes and smile many times each day. Take a five-minute break every thirty minutes or so to just play with him or her. Never work alone; always have your ‘little buddy’ helping you.”
“God has given your children gardian angels who watch them from heaven. You are their gardian angel here on earth.”
“How do you love your children? By loving and honoring their dad.”

I love all the books you recommend…I just picked one up from the library today that you had posted awhile back….Maryjane’s Ideabook….do your really completely read all these books? Seems like you read so many! Or are you like me and have about 10 of them going at once? LOL
Very nice. 🙂
Great quotes! I see that you are reading the book. We just had a picnic lunch on the lawn!! The bare, snow-free (well mostly), lawn!!
Happy Mother’s Day! Suz

Happy Mother’s Day, Shanda! You’re a wise lady!
How sweet Shan and so true! You are such a great mother and wife! Thank you for your example and your encouragment.
What wonderful quotes! Thanks for sharing. Sherry
I especially love that last quote ~
Great quotes, good reminders that what we do is worthwhile, joy-filled and infinitely valuable. I got caught up on your trip. . .sounds like ya’ll had a wonderful time together. Disney IS magical and always makes me feel like I’m seven years old again. We are wanting to take our boys soon. My dad and his wife live just north of Orlando (Maitland), so we’d have a free place to stay. Wonderful pictures. . . Happy Mother’s Day!
Are your kids each in front of their own baby quilt at the top of your blog? Beautiful! I love quilts!
Thanking God for mothers like you. I especially loved the picture of you and the baby. Even from the side you can see his eyes sparkle! The quote under it is so good too and so true! My late husband used to tell people the greatest thing a parent can do for their children is to love his/her spouse. And that he did!!
For a mother who loves her children, training is not a chore, it is a full-time all-consuming passion – I loved this one! Jan
That thought of having a little buddy always working with you ties right in to what we were talking about this morning, on getting kids to LOVE work!
I thought those quotes sounded familiar. I really enjoy NGJ ministries. Love the hair!
I love your quilts and children picture at the top too! . . .Priceless . . . and so are the “gifts” God gives us in each new babe He sends . . . Yep, He fills us up with them!!! 🙂 – Aimee
