A Martin Minute

I love quotes.  I love just looking up inspirational quotes & finding, well, inspiration.  Tonight I came across a few quotes on Pinterest & came across quite a few that were talking about "being free."  Most implying that when you . . . you will feel free.

We love SuperDaddy and the way he takes care of our family.  My hubby works hard to provide for our family & comes home wanting to be with the kiddos.  He is constantly giving. My children are so blessed to have him in their lives. My kiddos also have 2 grandfathers who are very involved on their lives and are great role models. I love knowing that my boys have men to watch.  Men they can look up to & copy in matters that matter.  (that really does make sense)  I know that if/when they go to these men for advice, one day, that I will not have to worry.
