Where did she say that? I don't read that in her resignation speech. She quit so she would have more freedom to fight, she never mentioned taking her family out of the spotlight. Everything I read into what she is saying, she is working to progress conservative causes which will make the perfect platform to run for President in 2012.

Not sure I can point you to a specific location but articles indicate she was concerned about the attacks, spotlight that was focused on her family specifically the children. Thus it would be a good way to get them out of the spotlight as such but yet keep a national presence for herselft to promote her agenda of limited gov’t/conservatism as she sees it. Nothing wrong with that if that is really part of her concerns.
Here’s one article with hints that the family was a concern of hers;

This spring, as Palin was weighing whether to run for reelection in 2010, she turned to John P. Coale, a prominent Washington lawyer. He had helped her establish a political action committee and has become her political consigliere of sorts.
“She asked me, ‘Well, what do you think all this is? Why are all these people attacking me?’ “ Coale said. “I said to her: ‘Look, that’s what happens. They did it to Hillary [Rodham Clinton], and Hillary just pushed through it. It’s not going to really stop. . . . You just have to ignore it and move on.’ “
But, Coale added, “she couldn’t ignore the hits on the kids. She said, ‘It brought out the mama grizzly in me.’ She acted like a mother grizzly bear when her cubs were being attacked.”
