I just loved your comments on Elder Ballard’s talk, I share them as well! This talk was right up my alley; I needed to hear this, and I am so glad you blogged about it to remind us about mothers and what we can do to be in balance.

After focusing in on my brood these last couple months, making more time to just be us without over scheduling (as I have in the past), and focusing on one or two things I could do while at home (gardening, playing an instrument), I feel so much better about being a mom. I was semi-enjoying being Mom, but I feel much more peace, and it came from doing a lot of what Elder Ballard talked about in the article, I am just realizing. Hey, this is one of the only times I can wear pj’s all day and not worry about deadlines and have fun with my little, funny toddlers. That’s great for now! Thanks for sharing, Jamie!!
