Chocolate-Chip Cookies . . .

And Milk. Is there anything better??

(OK, there is something better . . . but I am 9+ months pregnant, so cookies are all I got!) ;-)

Chocolate-chip cookies and milk are such a sweet, satisfying, perfect combination. MMmmmmm . . . yummy.

What makes cookies and milk an even better experience is drinking straight from the milk carton. Awesome. Don't tell me you never do that . . . I know you do. I know I am not the only one. Right??

Or maybe . . . I am?? Maybe I am the only one who guzzles straight from the milk jug? Maybe I am gross? Yeah, you may want to make sure the milk is sealed and new at my house, before you drink it . . . fair warning. :-)

Who am I?

I am a wife and a mother, my two favorite and most distinguished titles. I have four lovely children who keep me from being vain and selfish. I spent most of my life living in Anchorage, Alaska -- where I found my love, Charles. I enjoy a great many things, and I am good at a few things. I love to sing, run, have deep conversations, bake, do family history, blog, be with family, be with friends, have quiet time (whatever that is?), teach, rearrange furniture, watch movies, go for Sunday walks, attend the temple, observe people (Yes, I am watching YOU!), and I enjoy pondering the mysteries of the World. I love living on this beautiful Earth that God has created. I know who I am and I am grateful to know it. I am a child of God -- and so are you!

Mothers

God bless you, dear friends. Do not trade your birthright as a mother for some bauble of passing value. Let your first interest be in your home. The baby you hold in your arms will grow quickly as the sunrise and the sunset of the rushing days. I hope that when that occurs you will not be led to exclaim as did King Lear, “How sharper than a serpent’s tooth it is to have a thankless child!” (King Lear, I, iv, 312). Rather, I hope that you will have every reason to be proud concerning your children, to have love for them, to have faith in them, to see them grow in righteousness and virtue before the Lord, to see them become useful and productive members of society. If with all you have done there is an occasional failure, you can still say, “At least I did the very best of which I was capable. I tried as hard as I knew how. I let nothing stand in the way of my role as a mother.” Failures will be few under such circumstances.
