"Parents must bring light and truth into their homes by one family prayer, one scripture study session, one family home evening, one book read aloud, one song, and one family meal at a time. They know that the influence of righteous, conscientious, persistent, daily parenting is among the most powerful and sustaining forces for good in the world. The health of any society, the happiness of its people, their prosperity, and their peace all find common roots in the teaching of children in the home." - Elder L. Tom Perry

Farm Girls Ain't Afraid to Get Dirty

Everybody who knows me well, KNOWS that I am a super neat freak/control freak. I would be the last person to let my kids get dirty from head to toe. A couple weeks ago Isa wanted to wear her tractor shirt that says "Farm Girls Ain't Afraid to Get Dirty", but she thinks it says "Farm Girls Are Afraid to Get Dirty". I kept correcting her, but she kept telling me that I was wrong because SHE'S a farm girl and SHE can't get dirty. I felt bad :( So I have totally changed my rules- at least for "outdoor" play :)
