Fridge Quote!

I haven't been diligent in posting my fridge quote of the week like I had intended to do but I continue to post them on my fridge and have started posting different ones on my bathroom mirror. This week I chose one from the July Ensign article, Fortifying Our Family. I loved this article and this particular quote is needed in my life right now as I'm struggling with patience and kindness while caring for my 6 precious children. I can just be plain grumpy sometimes and I don't like myself when I act this way.

Elder Jeffrey R. Holland (April 2007 General Conference)

"We must be so careful in speaking to a child. What we say or don't say, how we say it and when is so very, very important in shaping a child's view of himself or herself. But it is even more important in shaping that child's faith in us and their faith in God. Be constructive in your comments to a child--always."

Beautifully said--I need to follow this counsel better. My Heavenly Father has trusted me to care for these children, and I feel blessed to have each one in my life.

New fridge motto

I finally got around to changing my fridge quote this week. I loved this quote by President Monson! It really helps to post these because it seems like I'm at the fridge all day long! Do anyone else's kids have an obsession with the fridge, or is it just mine???? I told my mom one day that I would pay $100 for a fridge lock if there is such a thing, I'M SERIOUS!! I'm sure if I videotaped myself during the day, I would hear myself say all day, "GET OUT OF THE FRIDGE" at least 50 times. By the way, I really do feed my kids regular meals. (really)
