I love how there is such a vibrant community of stay at home mother bloggers such as you to help offer encouragement to others.<br />Love, Jackie, stay at home mother of two little ones, from NYC.Jaclyn Juliettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18179429572104319596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4144795012504114230.post-71149286204742422932017-02-21T18:46:31.635-07:002017-02-21T18:46:31.635-07:00Oh my dear I loved this one. Amen to all that you ...Oh my dear I loved this one. Amen to all that you said about the Woman's movement. I was telling the Sister Missionaries today that because of that movement we as woman have lost some of the niceties that we used to enjoy such as men opening doors and pulling out chairs for us. Of course, my dear husband still does that for me but I don't see that respect as much anymore.<br />I love your colors for the clothing. Most of all I love that you only have to do a load of washing a day. That is a miracle with that many children. <br />I also enjoyed your thoughts on homeschooling and the books you are reading to the children. I too like a good novel once in a while; but it has been eliminated since being on our mission. <br />Keep up spreading the good news of being Motherhood. You will bless many lives with your thoughts and ideas for making your adventure a good one and pleasing our Heavenly Father with you good works. <br />Blessings and hugs for you!

We do need to go through and weed out some things again, the oldest keeps getting clothing given to her from friends families who have girls older than her. <br /><br />I'm reading Spark Joy and contemplating actually completing a KonMari of the house. We did clothing at one point but didn't get too much past that. We will see. <br /><br />I'm a Sarah Eden fan too!Tristanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14483248387092516827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4144795012504114230.post-61872165614916264652017-02-17T08:57:30.623-07:002017-02-17T08:57:30.623-07:00Congrats on reducing your laundry loads!

I was a mean mother and made them wear their pjs for a whole week! That way they only needed 2 pairs, which were usually homemade bottoms, flannel in the winter, cotton in the summer, with a long or short sleeve coordinating color T-shirt according to season. Not that they are all grown NONE of them wear pjs--they all sleep in their undies. Go figure! Keep up the good work, you have many cheering you on.Rozy Lasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019413665136390175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4144795012504114230.post-57799655592032795082017-02-17T08:18:43.200-07:002017-02-17T08:18:43.200-07:00I marched. sigh.

I lost my health care during that 4 year span and had a baby. I knew enough to scrimp and save...and REALLY scrimp to pay for pre natal care. I knew enough to have self control to try to eat healthily and take care of my body. <br /><br />SO yes I have my life and my health. <br /><br />that's part of why I marched. <br /><br />child birth is safer in Oman than it is in texas. <br /><br />there are other reasons I marched...but that alone...is worth marching for. <br /><br /><br />in other news...I'm seriously thinking about color coordinating our clothes. I have to borrow other's organization techniques because that is NOT my strong point. Britthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14143830777268434604noreply@blogger.com
