"You are not here to live a mediocre to average life; you are here to live an amazing life, a miraculous life. If it weren't for your challenges, there would be no miracles. You must do that which seems impossible, for it is only in the impossible that miracles are had." - author unknown, but very respected

And while I'm at it....

I thought since I was advertising the giveaway blog, I may as well advertise this amazing book!
As we were browsing the aisles of Deseret Book the other day (horrible store, I should never go in there!!! we always buy too much!), I came across this book in the clearance section!  I couldn't believe it was in the clearance section but then I realized what a perfect opportunity this was for all of you :)  my fellow bloggers.... This book has completely changed the way I think of parenting!!!  I've tried a LOT of the suggestions in this book and found them to be successful.  It talks a lot about disciplining techniques, ways to teach your children ownership and my personal favorite FAMILY ECONOMY!!!!  I'm not getting any money for this plug, no prizes, no points anywhere :)  I just LOVED this book and wanted to recommend it to everyone!!  It's very light reading.  The chapters are short and concise so that you can read it during those few minutes while you're waiting in the carpool lane to pick up your kids at school.  It's by an amazing woman, Linda Eyre, who had 9 children (I've read a few of her other books) and her daughter, Shawni, who now has 5 (I think?) kids as well.  They are both fun to read about.  The pictures are beautiful too... Shawni is a photographer.  SO that's fun too!  Anyway, it's ONLY $5!!!!!!  I'm including the link to Deseret Book if you want to go buy it right now :) HA!  Or you can just go to the store and get it.  If it's still too much money for you, I've got the book, Charity gave it to me for Mother's Day last year, you're more than welcome to borrow it!!  Anyway, that's all I'll say about that :)
