As a young mom, I determined "to be what I want my children to be".
I want my girls to love God and others. If God gives them children, I want them to love them fiercely. I want them to be humble, patient, gentle and kind.
Perhaps God won't give them children. I pray they will love without bitterness or envy. There are so many children that need love.
Whatever God has in store for them. My prayer is that their training at home will prepare them.
Statistically speaking, most girls will become mothers. We prepare children for all sorts of things they may never be: doctors, actors, teachers, musicians, athletes, etc. It is a great disservice not to prepare them to be mothers.

Trying a new wrap. I LOVE wearing her...but the days of me wearing her are growing short.
Girls' room. I know in ten years it won't look like this.
Precious girls. I love their smiles.
In preparation for our science lessons for the next 2 weeks, we planted Lima beans in a cd case
Here we mixed a little dirt with water and stirred. I bought topsoil at Walmart. Ridiculously cheap!!!
We found old cd cases in the garage
Every child has their own "greenhouse"
The CD cases are standing so the hinge is at the top. There is an opening, which is where the kids will water their plant daily.
All lined up in the window, waiting for sun
With extra dirt, Kenny and I planted several lima beans in a vase
And then we learned about fertilization
Doesn't his look say it all?
