The reason I keep posting

Another round of teacher conferences. I couldn't be more proud and they couldn't
be more silly about the picture I asked them to take.

I'm fully aware that this isn't anything big to document, but if some day my kids read through
this blog and know that their mom was absolutely crazy about them and that being a mom
during the big and little moments of their lives was the greatest gift God ever gave me (along
with being married to their handsome dad), then silly pictures in elementary hallways it will be.

I really love being a mom. And just in case my kids ever forget that, check out Instagram and
our family blog my cute chicklets. Forget the way I go crazy about the house being clean and
drive you nuts about your homework and make you put your shoes in the right place and take
care of the chickens and pick up your socks and hug your siblings while awkwardly singing
a song to them when you forget to be kind. And please just focus on IG and our blog.

Thanks my six darlings. Your mother loves you. And I'll let you in on a little secret, I love you
completely and solely because you are mine. Nothing will ever change that and the rest is actually
just a whole lot of hogwash. But nonetheless, I will still keep making you clean your rooms. And
posting on Instagram and here. And thanking my Heavely Father everyday that He gave me you.
