#28 Wisdom From 262 Years of Motherhood

May 09, 2014

In honor of Mother's Day I sat down with a woman who has a 262 (the combined ages of all her children) years of mothering wisdom to share!

I am talking about my mother, Nancy Suko. She is a real hero for many as a mother of 8 and a grandmother of 19 (with #20 on the way!).

If you're a mother then  need to listen to this episode of "Now is the Time" as it's full of practical and godly mothering wisdom that you can put to work with your children immediately.

If you have a mother then you also need to listen to this podcast as it will give you a great appreciation for all your mother has done for you!

Questions:
Below are the questions that I asked my mother during the interview.
