  With Mother's Day just around the corner I thought I would share this acronym I put together for purposeful mothering.

 I know how hard a job mothering is, and that we mothers need all the encouragement we can get. And as a fellow mom of 9 and raising my children for God as best I can, I want to be that encouragement for you.
You can do this. God made you for this.
Seek Him wisdom, guidance, and direction as you mothering your sweet blessings He has given you!
 Keep strong in Him,
Mae
