"The desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul. No matter our talents, education, backgrounds or abilities, we each have an inherent wish to create something that did not exist before. Everyone can create. You don’t need money, position, or influence in order to create something of substance or beauty. You might say, I am not the creative type. If that is how you feel, think again. Creation is your opportunity in this life….. Start small. Creativity does not require a brush, a pen, or the keys of a piano. Don’t let the voice of critics paralyze you. You will make the World a better place. Improve, beautify, extend, smile, cultivate, develop, create."
~President Dieter F. Uchtdorf

Mom of the Year

In the last 24 hours...
1. Nora lunged head first off the couch on to the living room floor while we were reading our scripture story.
2. Nora fell all the way down the whole flight of stairs while mom was putting peanut butter on Nathan's waffles.
3. I strap Nathan into his carseat to go to the gym this morning and realize that his carseat isn't buckled into the car. I don't even know how long it would have been like that. I haven't taken it out in awhile. I have no idea.

oh. my. gosh.

Thanks for posting this! Since I've been pregnant I feel like a horrible mom- always yelling. You made me feel a little better even though I'm pretty sure you are still better than me:)

You are a WONDERFUL mom. All those things happen to all of us! Cut yourself some slack, especially considering you're doing it all alone right now!

You can't win mother of the year that easily...you have way too much competition out here (including me)! Haha...we all have those days. Trust me!
