What kind of mother/wife do I want to be?

How appropriate for Mother's Day, huh?)

Very good qualities for mother and wife. I think you will be just how you plan. Also, your quails are cute.And I hope you had a great Mother's Day.
those are some great goals to strive for... looks like you've already met most of them! keep up the good work!
Ditto, Abbie. Well put. I might print them and put them in my journal. :)
I like the journal jar idea. And I like the wife/mother you want to be. I like to call it "living the life I imagined," and I think it's a constant struggle to align our imagined life with our actual life. Great post.
Are you in Mesa? Hope you have a great Summer!
Isn't it amazing who's blogs we can find on this interweb?! Thanks a million for the comment! I too tried to make eye contact with you at least 83 times, but to no avail. Then at one point I was tempted to go and try to sit on the little bench by you guys, but realized that I wouldn't fit, which would lead to a great deal of embarrassment when I tried to sit down, fell off the edge, then had to walk BACK across the room and sit by Michael and Jessica's moms, and hope that they weren't bittter or offended that I wanted to sit by you more, but was somewhat settling for sitting by then. Anywho, it was good to see you and I'm glad that we were on the same page.
By the way, I read your profile a minute too late and hope that you don't hate my guts for using unnecessary exclamation points in my last comment. That's all.
Abbie, where did you come up with this awesome journal jar idea? Our blog literally is our journal, as I feel no desire to write out the long stories of our lives. You are a great mom, and your little one is just too cute.
