1. Take time to always be at the crossroads in the lives of your children, whether they be six or sixteen.
2. Take time to be a real friend to your children.
3. Take time to read to your children. Remember what the poet wrote:
You may have tangible wealth untold;
Caskets of jewels and coffers of gold.
Richer than I you can never be—
I had a mother who read to me.
4. Take time to pray with your children.
5. Take time to have a meaningful weekly home evening. Make this one of your great family traditions.
6. Take time to be together at mealtimes as often as possible.
7. Take time daily to read the scriptures together as a family.
8. Take time to do things together as a family.
9. Take time to teach your children.
10. Take time to truly love your children. A mother’s unqualified love approaches Christlike love.
I appreciated these suggestions. It's good to re-center myself and remember what is truly important in my life. I want nothing more than to raise happy children who know who they are, know they have a family who loves them and will always be there for them, and love their Savior.
So, on the topic of Mothers here's a picture of my fine bathrobe.
You may notice something odd.

WOW!!! The photo is great. Take me to the orchard!! I love the insights by President Benson and truly appreciate you sharing them. And your bathrobe tie comments really are priceless. You are such a good mother Amy,thank you for your example.
I loved every bit of that 200th post. Your a fashionista for certain. Thems some preppy kids. The advice was needed but the bathrobe story should be submitted somewhere it is priceless. I wanted to get yuu another bathrobe tie but I dont think it would be near as loved. You are a good good mom Amy.
That IS such a great picture! You guys could be the poster family for GAP or Banana Republic. I enjoyed your comments. A good mother would keep her bathrobe tie neat and clean. A great mother would see it's full potential in something much more important than just to hold a robe together. I just leaned that from you. Thanks.
you know if you get one end of that robe tie wet, it could be very effective as a "disciplinary device..." I'm just sayin...
I love the bright yellow accent. That picture is priceless! I L~O~V~E it!!!
