I remember when my oldest started pre-school and the other moms were there "decked out" for the day in their fancy jeans, heals, sporty SUV's, make-up and off to...I'm not sure. I was off with the hopes of cleaning the toilets with three additional little ones at home. I mentioned it to another mom whose response was, "don't worry about how you look to them or if they are thinking this or that about you, because they really are probably just concerned about how they look". Hum, an idea. <br />I don't know you, but wish I did. I think as we live with the Spirit in our life we can feel confident of the choices we make, but I love what you wrote. We ALL have those days when we wonder. How do we present ourselves? How are we perceived? Thanks for the post. I think you are GREAT!!Rachellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11073341414330153693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22760611.post-17628126326978296872009-12-17T09:54:16.417-07:002009-12-17T09:54:16.417-07:00you're amazing sar. more than you'll know....you're amazing sar. more than you'll know.charity eyre wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12497155833888120008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22760611.post-1630732744819098822009-12-15T19:53:15.913-07:002009-12-15T19:53:15.913-07:00I think the only opinion we (especially all of us ...I think the only opinion we (especially all of us Mommy's out there) should worry about is that of our Heavenly Father. He sees us with perfect eyes, and still loves us anyway! It can't get better than that. :0) AND Mommy's are practically perfect to their children, anyway! Who needs another opinion?<br /><br />*hugs*Danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12525990300327803523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22760611.post-4546588624346175462009-12-14T00:19:20.140-07:002009-12-14T00:19:20.140-07:00I am truly blessed to be your mother!I am truly blessed to be your mother!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00082310018885505399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22760611.post-90301891248773044932009-12-13T17:16:13.377-07:002009-12-13T17:16:13.377-07:00I think you are amazing!

Thank you for standing as an example to the world of Beautiful Motherhood! Don't let 'Them' (the on-lookers) get you down (whoever They are anyway!) Reality is those critical eyes watching are really watching in Pure WONDER at the amazing sight of a beautiful family loving, learning, serving, sharing time and memories together... wishing they could participate! Thank you for making Motherhood Beautiful! Keep up the good work!<br /><br />Found your blog recently as I was downloading the fabulous... "Alexander's Amazing Adventures," and logged into ValuesParenting.com. Grateful to say that I have bumped into you in our little St. George Haven! It's a great place to raise a family and a vacation destination for the world! We're just fortunate enough to call this beautiful corner of the world... Simply HOME. :) Wishing you and your beautiful Family a Very Merry Christmas!Märta Harrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05155626825655721616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22760611.post-86891051535530217062009-12-12T20:57:47.599-07:002009-12-12T20:57:47.599-07:00Darling Saren!

Somehow all the times your dad said that I reminded him of you sunk in, and whenever I see you do something particularly fantastic, like starting up your website, or having creative ideas for your kids and their friends or whatever, it makes me that much more likely to think "hey, maybe I could do that," or "maybe I could do this other awesome thing."<br /><br />Also, you're gorgeous, imaginative, and have lots of inner sparkle. I always read your blog, and I've come away with lots of fantastic ideas.<br /><br />It's true that it's hard when the major feedback you get in a day is "I hate you mom," (maybe you never get that, but I do), but here's some feedback from a (mostly) grownup. You're cool. Very cool. ;)brittanimaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08747618026210897689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22760611.post-8062332914000496182009-12-11T23:23:37.459-07:002009-12-11T23:23:37.459-07:00I think you're great!

Bringing him into the great outdoors is pretty clever. If he made it out of the car in time there would have been nothing to clean up. Home there is always clean up. <br /><br />When will a family of 7 be completely free of illness and have managed to avoid contact with anyone sick within the contagioius period of any cold or virus? Never. Just live life. <br /><br />You brought your family to the woods, not a movie theater. Didn't contaminate the world. The kids survived the experience with a great memory.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22760611.post-80867789975883763332009-12-11T16:51:09.071-07:002009-12-11T16:51:09.071-07:00I'll tell you what I think of you (although I ...I'll tell you what I think of you (although I think you already know). I think you are one of the most amazing, fun, loving, able-to-do-a-million-things and still REALLY care about people people I know. I love you with all my heart.Shawnihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12521206493764797423noreply@blogger.com
