Little Kids, Little Problems

I know it has been  a loooong time since I've posted anything new, life has gotten even more crazy than I could possibly have imagined.  Plus, I've been out of town for over a week which makes it a lot more difficult to update the blog.  However, while out of town, a friend of mine sent me a link to a fabulous website called The Power of Moms.  It is all about developing and strengthening the mom within...and I have fallen in love with the information on the website already.  Part of the website has stories and articles by real life moms and insights they have gained while trying to survive motherhood!  I just read the newest article about a mom who was always told "little kids, little problems" and thought those who told her that were crazy.  Older kids meant lots of little bonuses (like sleeping through the night and being at school all day) that didn't happen with little children.  And then she had older kids and learned the challenges don't end at all, they just change.  The author/mom ends her article with this little bit of wisdom: "...the sooner we can choose happiness and gratitude amidst the demands and challenges of motherhood, the better off we’ll be."  It is a great article and if you would like to read it, CLICK HERE!  And if you have time, check out some of the other amazing parts of the website, it will definitely give you the strength to keep fighting those sweet, little monsters!!
