"I especially wish to praise and encourage young
mothers. The work of a mother is hard, too often unheralded work. . . .
But with night feedings and night teethings, often the greatest
challenge of all for a young mother is simply fatigue. Through these
years, mothers go longer on less sleep and give more to others with
less personal renewal for themselves than any other group I know at any
other time in life. . . . Do the best you can through these years, but
whatever else you do, cherish that role that is so uniquely yours and
for which heaven itself sends angels to watch over you and your little
ones."
-- Elder Holland
"Motherhood is not a hobby, it is a calling. You do not collect children
because you find them cuter than stamps. It is not something to do if
you can squeeze the time in. It is what God gave you time for."
--Rachel Jankovic
"Live in your home so that you’re brilliant in the basics, so that
you’re intentional about your roles and responsibilities in the family.
Think in terms of precision not perfection."
--Julie B. Beck
“A good woman knows that she does not have enough time, energy, or
opportunity to take care of all of the people or do all of the worthy
things her heart yearns to do. Life is not calm for most women, and each
day seems to require the accomplishment of a million things, most of
which are important. A good woman must constantly resist alluring and
deceptive messages from many sources telling her that she is entitled to
more time away from her responsibilities and that she deserves a life
of greater ease and independence. But with personal revelation, she can
prioritize correctly and navigate this life confidently. The ability
to qualify for, receive, and act on personal revelation is the single
most important skill that can be acquired in this life."
