General Conference

As we prepare for General Conference I was reflecting on the last session of General Conference, and I remembered how much I loved one of the talks.
If you have a minute you should go read it, rather listen to it, it can get a little confusing with his wording.

" as a parent, when can I check a child off my list as done? We are never done being good parents. And to be good parents, one of the most important things we can teach our children is how to be more like the Savior."

There are a lot of passages from it that I like, but its more powerful if they are in context. I loved this talk because its one of the few that I felt actually told you how to parent, instead of giving guidelines, ideas, feelings, etc. I felt so much more prepared to have my first child after hearing this talk, and Henry came 3 days later. :)

Happy Conference everyone.

I just wanted to say that I'm sorry you felt offended with the sponsored post at EMI. It was not meant. I'm not a fan of plastic surgery myself. But I also don't hold anything against anyone who does. I debated over a month weather or not to except this sponsor post. But we recently had a water pipe break in our wall it caused serous damage to our home. I'm sure you can imagine the stress that has put on my family especially financially. So I figured in the scheme of things that I could live with posting this if it meant helping out my family a bit.
BTW you have a beautiful family here and I love your photos.
