I REALLY needed to hear this these last couple of days! I am a little bit of a control freak and when I feel like I have lost it with the girls I tend to not handle that very well...I am a self punisher and I can really beat myself up about how terrible I can be as a mother sometimes because the girls are misbehaving or sreaming or fighting...etc. I know deep down that I am a good mom and that my girls love me whole heartedly and even though there are some days that are a struggle to get through just breakfast alone - I know that my Heavenly Father is strengthening me all along the way! I know that because I have felt his strength. I have felt lifted in those "I AM DONE!" moments. I feel his love and his encouragement in me to continue to love and teach my children. Through the temper tantrums and the "I WANT I WANT I WANT!" phases...I am becoming a stronger and more loving and patient mom when I rely on his spirit to lift me and help me to be stronger. I am SO thankful for the two little blessings in my life, my daughters. I am so thankful for the blessing to be a mom and to have the Lords trust in me with these little sweet spirits. The girls are learning who they are and they are growing into little girls who are ready to explore this world ALL BY THEMSELVES!! I love them both so much and when one is screaming and the other is climbing on the table, I know that I can call upon a higher strength and be comforted and receive that strength that I SO desire in those moments. I love that.

Butterfly Farm
We had a big group of friends go to Butterfly Farm last week and the girls had a blast! There were so many butterflies to look at and we were able to feed them with these little sugar pads. Evelyn was so excited to see them up close and Claire was just happy to be outside and running around!! We had a great time!!
