I've been pondering this blog for a while, even started it, but haven't done much with it. This morning I was feeling like I'm not good enough for this job. I got back in my bed and cried a little and then tried focusing my mind on why I AM a good mom. I said "family" prayer this morning with 2 of my 4 kids, not perfect, but I'm saying GREAT :)
While pondering Thanksgiving I realized I need to focus more on the things I'm thankful for about my children and focus on that rather than the flaws I see so easily (because they're mine too).
I can't wait to see what you've done to be a GREAT mom today.
About Me
- The Bentley Family! Aaron and Amy, Gage (9), Levi (6), Claire (4), and Judd (2)
- Aaron grew up in Dillon, Montana. He went to BYU and then on a mission to Brazil and back to BYU to finish his degree in communications. He works as a systems administrator for SLC. I grew up in Kanab, Utah. I went to Snow college and then to Alaska to be a nanny for a year and earn money for my mission. I was called on a mission to Scotland. We met before my mission, and luckily for me he was still single when I got home. We were married soon after in the Manti, Utah temple. He convinced me to go to BYU and I got a degree in marriage, family, and human development. Our love and family have grown with the addition of Gage W, Levi Douglas, Claire Marie, and Judd Nathan.
This is a great blog idea! Moms looking for the good in themselves and the hardest job in the world. You are a fantastic mom! and don't you forget it.
