"The fundamental mission of motherhood now is the same as it always was: to nurture, protect, and instruct children, to create a home environment that enables them to learn and grow, to help them develop a heart for God and his purposes, and to send them out into the world prepared to live both fully and meaningfully."

-Sally Clarkson from the Mission of Motherhood

love this!

...saw this on my friend's blog, and i just had to share it!  thanks, meg! it's true, and i'm so thankful i have this problem! :)

raising a house full of little kids...
trying to keep that house clean...amidst the toys, spills, and crumbs...
trying to stay on top of the laundry...
trying to get ahead financially...amidst the dance lessons, dentist visits, and pediatrician co-pays...
trying to have time to yourself...amongst kids visiting you while you are going to the bathroom, always wanting to eat whatever is on your plate...

"it's like trying to brush your teeth and eat oreos at the same time!!"
