I hope I create flowing laughter instead of excess laughter

"If you are a mother, you participate with God in His work of creation—not only by providing physical bodies for your children but also by teaching and nurturing them. If you are not a mother now, the creative talents you develop will prepare you for that day, in this life or the next.

"Creation means bringing into existence something that did not exist before—colorful gardens, harmonious homes, family memories, flowing laughter.

"What you create doesn't have to be perfect. . . . Don't let the voices of critics paralyze you—whether that voice comes from the outside or the inside."

Elder Uchtdorf

Love that quote. I am reading "In Praise of the Stay at Home Mom" it is such a good pick me up for the hard work all mother's do!
