For every woman who has ever wondered if she gives enough . . . As mothers, grandmothers, nurturers, and caregivers, we are often tempted to view our ordinary daily contributions as an endless string of undersized tasks, none of which seems worthy of any special consideration. But they are.This collection of small and simple moments provides reassurance that — although our humble, little offerings may not seem significant at the time - these tiny acts undeniably make an immeasurable difference in the lives of those we love. The Mother's Mite is, in itself, an offering — a truly human journey of sharing the joys and challenges of motherhood in ways that enrich all that are involved. In this time when families are in a state of crisis, when even LDS families search for new levels of intimacy and meaning, this nice little volume is a welcome addition to the literature. Not at all preachy, but always eminently practical, it will surely find a welcome place in Mormon homes everywhere.” — Association for Mormon LettersContents:AcknowledgmentsIntroduction: On OfferingsTeacups"Thick and Thin" MothersThe Coolest DateWrestling Popcorn RecipeWatching at the WindowFuzzy SlippersGoddess in TrainingFrosting FlowersFrosted Flower Cookies RecipeRootsPennies from HeavenMeteors past MidnightBirthday Pie"Easy as Pie" RecipePicnics and PoliticsThe Family StarMagic FingersAsparagus SoupCreamy Asparagus Soup RecipeNana's BellsThe Enchanted DryerCelebr-eight-ing the MomentCinnamon Swirl BreadCinnamon Swirl Bread RecipeThe Surprise VisitBette's Bottomless HandbagHunting for CourageChurning Ice CreamOld-Fashioned Ice Cream RecipeJessica's GardenScattering SeashellsLadies in WaitingGrandma JoOven S'mores RecipeA Mother's MightConclusion: Giving Our AllNotesIllustration Credits
