A Mother Heart

I love the talk "A Mother Heart" by Julie Beck.  This weekend we had a baby shower for my little sister Amy with that talk in mind.  We created a paper chain for Amy and on each link we wrote what we love about Amy and how those traits will help her as she becomes a mother.  As she opened her gifts, we each took a turn to tell Amy what we love about being a mother, or what we loved about our own mother.  It was truly a sweet celebration of motherhood.

What a sweet idea for valentines day and with her shower. Gifts of the heart are the best.

It was perfect. Such a bright, positive spin on the typical baby shower. It went so wonderfully.

I loved it! Aden's mom said it was the most spiritual baby blessing she's ever been to. Thank you!!!
