Not totally related, but a sweet photo of the newest Mama I know, and her little son.
Somehow I harnessed the motivation to go through all of our little girl clothes last night, to begin the organizing process before our move. How we accumulated so many, is the question of the day. Seriously, it is a little ridiculous.
Jimmy and I oo'ed and awe'd over a few of the pieces that both of our girls wore, but didn't get overly sentimental as we were on the edge of our seats watching the BYU game. Unfortunately, the Jimmer era is over.
Anyways, my great idea has spilled over into today and we have boxes to the ceiling of pink, pink and more pink. I have been facing the tough job of deciding what to keep, what to sell at a garage sale and what to haul over the ocean to Hawaii. It's a little sad to see all of our winter clothes head to the sale, but I just can't see the need for cold-weather gear in Hawaii. I'm guessing we'll just restock if there is a need five years down the road.
So, for the weekend, I found a few good reads that got me thinking about my parenting / mothering. Hope you enjoy and have a wonderful weekend.
- A good read from the Wall Street Journal from a mother who wondering why she lets her teenage girls dress the way they do.
- From the Deseret News, asking the question, do children add or subtract to our happiness?
If you do read these two pieces, I'd love to hear your feedback. Great stuff to think about.
