"If people had to pay for what Mothers do, the world would be bankrupt!"
-David
Elliott, father of seven
Maybe that's how the world got into all this trouble financially lately! (Now that we're all having to PAY for what mother's used to do for FREE, huh?)! Just a thought. What do YOU think? Hey - there's still lots of love in the world. Just look at your kids.
I dedicate this website to mom's (and their kids) everywhere! We need all
the support we can get! And for you DAD's out there who have to fulfill the job of 'mom', too - my respect goes out
to you! WE NEED YOU! It's the hardest job in the world. That's
why I'm assembling all the tips on Mothering I've learned over the years
to help others during the times it can be overwhelming. Like, everyday, maybe? One day when I was discouraged about the messes I had to conquer every day, I
thought about Mother Teresa, and all the hard work she did. That's when
I realized - if she could take on a big job like that, how could I complain?
Besides, all creativity makes a mess! YOU are
having
an impact on the future through the work you do with your children! Nothing
is more important than that! Dr. Dobson said, "No
success in
the world can compensate for failure at home." He was
RIGHT! Enjoy your kids in spite of the messes, while you still CAN -
and you'll still have a
relationship
with
them long after your house
is clean.

Elliott says,"WHY DO I OFFER THIS WEBSITE TO THE WORLD FOR FREE? You can either learn from your own mistakes or from other people's mistakes. I've made plenty of mistakes already. Why should YOU have to make the same mistakes?

and tips for moms and dads that have come out of her experience with abundant
motherhood! WRITE ME! I LOVE hearing from you!
