The wisest things, I have found, come from the mouths of children.

I don’t usually share these kinds of things, but family is often a topic here at LfaSB.  Family, especially siblings, are some of the most important bonds we share as human beings.  Jeffrey Kluger talks about siblings, beginning from a young age to the late stages in adult life, and the bonds we share with not only ourselves but our parents.  Our siblings are referred to as our “traveling companions” and in his studies he finds that we will create a conversation with our siblings that will last a lifetime.  It is a beautiful 20 minute video and it touched my heart.

It is just as much work to stay at home and raise your children as it is to work a full time job.

Getting children together for a photograph is like herding feral cats.  They aren’t going to be clean, they will be trying to escape, and they all won’t be looking at the camera.

Parenting doesn’t stop at a child’s 18th birthday.  Parenting is a life-long job, even after children have grown and gone out into the world.

Face this fact:  your mama will always be able to fold laundry, make sandwiches, and tuck you in better than anyone else.  That is, until you have your own children.
