My Mini-Conversations

I wanted to start this blog so that I'd have a place to write about "My Mini-Conversations".  I often find myself having mini-conversations with myself (this might tip you off that I'm a little crazy) and in those conversations I think...... hmmm, maybe I should blog this and somebody might read it and gain some insight or just get a laugh.  Or just maybe- someday it might help my kids understand why I raised them the way I did.  Sometimes I think I might be profoundly thinking and other times I wonder "What am I thinking?" But all in all- this will be a good record of my journey through life and my "Wilde" thoughts----LOL.  Hopefully, reading some of this might help someone know what to do when it comes to raising a family, or most likely it might help someone know what not to do:)  After all I have 6 kids and no handbook on raising them(although I do have the best parents ever that have taught me well, I have read a lot of parenting books, and I consider the scriptures a divinely given parenting handbook in itself).  I feel like being a mother is an exciting adventure, a journey where much is at stake, an opportunity to mold a human, a time to love, laugh, worry, and cry- a test of strength and patience.  I believe that there is nothing in this world that could surpass the joy and experience of being a parent- having a family is what it is all about.  I learn and critique myself everyday- always hoping to do better tomorrow!  MOST days I feel like I fall short - so I pray for and rely on my Heavenly Father to make up for what I'm leaving out or messing up on. You'll probably see a lot of my religion, and beliefs come through in my posts, because I believe prayer and inspiration through the spirit are the best handbooks/guidance of all.  I'm pretty simple in my use of words.  I love to write, but don't have the talent of a writer(so hopefully you can follow my mini- conversations.)  Happy Reading!
