I do this all the time. Click, "Whoa, that looks like it might take some time, I'll come back," or "I really should share that." Over and over until I have more tabs open than can fit across the top.
So, without further ado, here are some various things I've enjoyed, thought about, and think just might be worth your time.
Something I struggle with daily. I've got a post on this in the works.
How I Found God's Will In A Sink Full of Dirty Dishes
On finding purpose and sanctification in mothering.
A job/chore method that I am seriously considering trying out. For small or large families.
Tips for Surviving (and thriving!) in the Toddler Phase
From a mom of four in five years. Excellent, excellent post. So well said. I wish I'd written it myself. And not just practical tips, more toward emotional and spiritual thriving!
A mom of ten talks about life with her first baby and learning to mother in the way that works for her family. The more children I have, the more I value doing what works for us and ignoring what everyone else "says" we should be doing. Life is so much easier now than it was in the years with just one or two. This is not a "you should practice attachment parenting" post or recommendation from me, we are actually a good mix of attachment and scheduling. It just really struck a chord with me as Grace is such a peaceful and content baby, and I really feel that aside from the grace of God (which it is!), it is also because I've learned some things about giving her what she needs. This is the first in a series of posts. I've not actually read the rest of them yet.
Why Would You Want All Those Kids?
From a mother of fourteen on the eve of giving birth yet again. I loved this. Whether you have one child or fifteen, this will bless and encourage you. While short, and she's talking at first just about real life, toward the end she reflects on her relationships with her children and she puts it, getting ready to begin another love affair with a new baby. It gets sweeter each time. That I have learned.
I had some more, but as usual, lost them to little hands :o)
Happy Saturday!
