I love to read and write. Why not write books to read to my kids?
1. Spending time as a family

I’ve been a distracted writer lately. I haven’t been as diligent about writing my stories. I’m busy making my own. I love being a Mom. I love it! It’s the only thing I really ever wanted to do in my life. And I have that, and I love it! As much as I want to publish my books, right now, that comes second. (or fourth, since now I have 3 kids.)

Anyway, I was thinking about that today. And I decided I wanted to share with you my views on parenting. (I’m currently reading Dr. Laura’s book called In Praise of Stay at Home Moms. It’s a great book, and really embodies what I’m getting at here…) One of the easiest ways for me to share those views is by directing you to a document called The Family: A Proclamation to the World.

At one point, when I was in college, I had almost this entire document memorized. I love it. I try to live by it. You know what I think is amazing? It isn’t just for members of my church- it’s for the entire world. I don’t care if you aren’t a member of the LDS church, or even if you believe in God, this document, if you follow it, will enrich and strengthen your family!

Anyway, enough preaching from me. I love my family. I love my family. I love them so much. And I know you love your family- so I just thought I would share this beautiful pearl of family guidance.

Now, I’m going to go spend some time with my family!
