I will never forget the Sunday I went to church with you a few weeks back. I remember thinking HOW ON EARTH do you survive sacrament with both boys?! Sacrament brought the wiggles out of Riggy like I have never seen. But I will also never forget the conversation we had in the car on the way to market this year about the importance of obedience + just giving it your best. You WILL be blessed for battling through those hard Sundays. Whether it be in this life or in the life to come, the blessings will come because the Lord loves you for giving it your best. That is all he expects from us. You amaze me every single day + I hope to become half the mama that you are to those boys someday. I love you ging! Always have + I always will.

okay… this one has had me going since I read it. and I just haven’t been able to comment until now because I was soaking it all in! you want to know why? i’ll tell you. because you’re teaching me that it’s cool to not always have it all together. i mean, who really, actually does. but somewhere along the line I picked up that faking it until you make it was the only way. turns out, nobody wants to be that girl’s friend. but you and your willingness to share the happy AND sad parts, and looking up to you even more because of it, gives me hope that there’s another way. to be connected by the honesty of our days and share in where we find the strength to pick up and keep going. i like you and your style a whole lot ginger parrish.

I nearly never comment on blog posts but I love this one! So down to earth and heartfelt makes me want to try harder and be better and do all I can to lift those around me. We have several teens in our ward that sit with the wives and help out with bishopric members young families. I wish every ward had that, as it's a blessing for all. The fact that you do it alone IS amazing and I hope you don't forget it!

Oh a less significant note I have a similar striped skirt and love your pairing with the yellow floral blouse, may I ask where you got it?

I loved this post! I totally get it. My husband is a resident at UCLA in internal medicine and attended church 5 times the first year we were here. Two months after moving here, I got called as Relief Society president. I almost laughed. So I get my kids ready for a babysitter on Sunday mornings, go to meetings and then wrestle my three kids at church by myself and then come home and make dinner and get kids in bed. Sundays are so exhausting. I have to drag myself through Sundays sometimes. But I am so thankful we get the opportunity to serve in our church and thankful to be part of the Gospel. Tough though. So know you have someone praying for you and rooting for you in another state but the same situation.

This was written so perfectly. I couldn’t help but giggle when you described how you are in Sacrament because that is exactly how I feel, and I am happy I’m not the only one. I just admitted to my mom last night for the first time that I want to move just so my husband would be released from the Bishopric and it’s only his first time. I seem so silly after reading you have gone through this 3 times. Thank you for the uplifting/funny post. I think I can make it through another Sunday. Oh and plus, I was holding my baby and car seat and opening the door for my 2 yr old and didn’t see her and whacked her in the forehead only to walk in with this GIANT black goose egg on her. I felt like I should get the worst mom award for a year and everyone coming in to the meeting had to stop and comment or ask. I should rephrase— I think I can survive another Sunday but hopefully my girls will survive as well. 🙂

Ginger- you’ve done it again. Here i am, sitting at my desk at work, crying like a little baby. My husband was out of town last week for work, and I totally have a WHOLE new respect for single mothers, mothers with travelling-all-the-time husbands, and mothers who have no support from their spouse! I know JUST what you’re going through, and it IS hard. Mothership IS hard. But the rewards that come with it are just too good not to do it! You are so inspiring to me, and I love reading about your beautiful family. Thank you for sharing your life. The good AND the hard. 🙂

Anonymous — Hi there. I feel silly not calling you by name, but it’s all good. Thanks for leaving me a message yesterday! How cool for us to be connected when you’re all the way in Sweden. What a compliment for me. I need to post my bracelets. I pretty much wear the same jewelry every single day. Ha! I will post about them soon. Thanks for reading. Happy Tuesday to you, sweet friend. xx

Adri — You ask Kylee if we were talking last weekend how much we love you! Thank you for saying such sweet heartfelt things. You made my morning. It’s scary to put your raw feelings out on the internet, so hearing such kind things bring peace to me. Thanks for being so supportive. I hope that you guys are loving life across the sea. 🙂 Know how much I adore you! xx
