Do LESS?!

I just came across this talk again and would love to hear your views on it. What does this mean to YOU? Have you really done anything DIFFERENT since hearing this?

Excerpt from "Mothers Who Know" by Julie Beck (Relief Society General President):

Mothers Who Know Do Less


Mothers who know do less. They permit less of what will not bear good fruit eternally. They allow less media in their homes, less distraction, less activity that draws their children away from their home. Mothers who know are willing to live on less and consume less of the world’s goods in order to spend more time with their children—more time eating together, more time working together, more time reading together, more time talking, laughing, singing, and exemplifying. These mothers choose carefully and do not to choose it all. Their goal is to prepare a rising generation of children who will take the gospel of Jesus Christ into the entire world. Their goal is to prepare future fathers and mothers who will be builders of the Lord’s kingdom for the next 50 years. That is influence; that is power.

This is what I ended up with:

It's the same brush she used. Here it is compared to my old one, and here's how my hair looked after she styled it:

Now if I could just get my bangs to be that cute again. . .
