Favorite quote:

I have 2 quotes that I just love. The first one is from Marjorie Pay Hinckley

"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with perfectly manicured fingernails.

I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp.

I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing my neighbor's lawn.

I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor's children.

I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden.

I want to be there with the children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder.

I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

Marjorie Pay Hinckley

I just love that.

The second one was in a frame hung up in the laundry room at my house growing up. It is just so sweet.

The cleaning and scrubbing can wait 'til tomorrow
For children grow up as I've learned to my sorrow.
So quiet down cobwebs, dust go to sleep.
...I'm rocking my baby and babies don't keep.
