As a mother I realize that I have a special bond with Mack and I will with other children I have hopefully. I can't explain it a mother child bond. I know Mack knows I am his mother and I think he knew from the beginning. As I was in sacrament meeting a few Sundays ago I had an "Ah Huh" moment, and Pres. Monson talk from General Confrence came to my mind. I need to make the most of the moments I have with Mack. Sometimes I worry to much about how clean my house is instead of putting down the broom and just playing with Mack. (I don't have many visitors to my house anyway so what am I so worried about it being so cleaned for.) I am all about cleanliness but if vacuuming is taking 1st priority over Mack or my husband then I need to change that. I am going to try and make the most of my moments with Mack so he will remember I was all about making good lasting memories with my family!

I hear ya Shanie!! THanks for the great reminder!! I'm sure you are just the best little mom. That Mack is sooo cute and soo lucky to have such wonderful parents.
It's so hard to do. I look around and think - we live in a pig sty. But I have found that if right before bed we all get together and do a five minute quick clean things look pretty good. I also have a little girl in the ward who comes on Tues. afternoons for 1 1/2hours every other week and helps me do the deap cleaning. I have her clean the floor boards and polish the kitchen cabinets, wash the fingerprints off the walls. I pay her five dollars for each time she comes. She loves it and her mom loves it and I love it. Then I heard one of the talks in conf. discuss how we need to help the youth in our wards and I feel this is one way I am trying to do that.
I try to tell myself that everyday! But, I guess we don't have that many people over either! He is so adorable!
