ReplyDeleteLoved April's writing and so true!
ReplyDeleteThat was so encouraging! I needed that today. Thank you so much for your grounded and thankful approach to parenting and blogging that is encouraging so many!
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah. I hope you have more pictures of you and each of your children just like this that you have not been showing us. It is just beautiful! Someday they will be so thankful to have these images of the two of you.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for directing us to April's essay. So powerful and so true!
ReplyDeleteThe picture of you and your son is beautiful. You are both so happy - heart warming really.
Thanks so much for sharing this - it's so true!
ReplyDeleteYou find the loveliest posts! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThank you...that was an amazing essay.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm crying, AGAIN. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, and encouraging. I deactivated my facebook so I could unplug more, it leads to so much yuck sometimes. Darn it, I think Pinterest might be next to go....
A friend shared this on facebook last week and I agree- what a great and powerful reminder. We should all read it once a month:-).
ReplyDeleteI need to go read it but just wanted to say that is a darling picture of you and Andrew. (that's Andrew, right!?) :) Love it Sarah! And your seaside pics of the kids were just perfect!
ReplyDeleteI was able to attend a Power of Moms retreat this past weekend. It was amazing! Life changing! April is more amazing in real life than online and even better at speaking than writing (although she is a wonderful writer!)
ReplyDeleteI loved April's post ... and then my oldest asked me to help her make cupcakes for a service auction at church. She informed me that mine weren't really pinterest worthy and I told her she was a teenager with pinterest poisoning ... and I went and re-read April's post again just to make myself feel better ;)
