I love her open-mindedness and the spiritual direction she offered each of her children. What an inspiration!

She really was. So much about her inspires and impresses me, but especially how she saw childrearing as a spiritual vocation.

I love Susanna and the apron over the head prayer closet! I love that she discipled each of her children. I loved that she preached and encouraged others to do so as well. Thank you for telling me even more of her exemplary life!

She was amazing. As a parent, I'm in awe of her. She really saw each of her children as individuals with individual paths, and parented that way rather than with a one-size-fits-all approach. But you can see the roots of this in Susanna's own upbringing, as her parents took more or less the same approach.
