Great Quote

I saw this on a bumper sticker yesterday:

"It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men." Frederick Douglass

  2. I love it to, Abbie! It's quite a mandate for parents, grandparents, and the "village" it takes to raise a child!
    You know, it was kind of nice to see a bumper sticker with a universal truth (something we can all agree on). So many bumper stickers are extremely divisive. I have been know (on occasion) to give a dirty look or two based on someone's bumper sticker (I'm sure Jesus was very proud) :)

  3. Oh my gosh - what was more powerful? The quote or the photos following it? That was AMAZING, Kristen. Well done.

  4. Thanks, Leslie!
    I just happened to see the quote and the pics are from Easter...we had such a fun day with our kids. Sometimes a whole day goes by and I feel like it's been wasted, like we haven't spent enough time with our kids - it's nice to have days that we simply play!
