My friend Mandi and I went to the zoo today with our kiddos, minus one for each of us. It was so nice to have some adult convo while the kids played and ran, or strolled in my case. I loved talking about our family, husbands, kids, and our struggles as moms and as daughters of Christ. It reminded me as Mandi was sharing with me her daily prayer routine, that I might be able to find a litttttle more time for prayers, novenas, mass and Rosary.
Yesterday, a priest told me during confession that as mothers, we are the root of our home.....great, a huge ugly white thing, even tho at the present momento i feel like that. haha....what he mean't isss that my moods, reactions, prayer life, service.....everything I do at home or away from home affects my family directly and I keep us rooted in Christ. I can bring peace or I can bring negativity and conflict. Its my choice. My selfish choices always affect 3 other people at least.
So this is my new task, to remember I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me!
Also, our 1st school picture. He is such a ham and I am the proud mama with a key chain picture. I even like to show people at the check out how cute my little boy is, while they are smiling at baby Gianna.....so anyway, yes I am one of those mommies:)!
And my sweet baby girl, who never cries, sleeps through the night, and is just a joy all the time.
