Today I'm mourning the loss of a good friend and mommy mentor, Barbara Curtis. She was an author, a blogger and a mommy of 12. She was a tireless encourager, advisor and example. Lots of us are willing to share the good things that happen, but Barbara shared the good and the bad in the hopes that her transparency would help others. Being a mother to a big family is not an easy calling, and she didn't sugar-coat it, but she never failed to encourage. This is one of my very favorite quotes from her book The Mommy Manual...
"Even in my worst moments, I can get a grip if I remember how good it's gonna feel when I stand before him, with the day-to-day tears and triumphs of motherhood far behind me, and hear him say, "Well done, good and faithful mommy."
