I’m sorry. I admit it. I talk too much about my kids. This attribute in others, before I had kids, seemed annoying. I’m trying to do better.
What gives? Well, being a Mom changes you, your relationships and the way you look at things.
I recently read a book called, “Life on Planet Mom”. It is a down-to-earth guide to your changing relationships and how being a mom changes your marriage, your friendships, your relationship with God, and basically…how you interact with the world around you. (The best part of this is the fact that the book lets you know this is normal.)
Being a Mom has stretched me, pushed me, pulled me, and generally changed me. It has shown me things like selfishness in myself and also, I hope, given me a new perspective on how much God loves me. (I still look in at my kids after they are asleep each night and marvel at God’s goodness.)
We do have to adapt to different seasons in our lives, but we can enjoy the change.
I will be giving the book, Life on Planet Mom to the first woman who leaves a comment.
Blessings,

Boy you got that right! And what a difference in boys and girls! My seven year old boy rolls his eyes at the drama from his sisters. It is really funny to watch. I think the number one thing moms have to remember when they become moms is that they are NOT their husbands moms. We tend to mix the two and that causes all sorts of problems. Suddenly you are telling your husband what to do and not to do like a mom would. Nagging him to do things like a mom nags a child to clean their room. God is amazing in how he created women. He knew we would be pulled in many directions. Our key is stay focused on Him.
I will put the book in your box.
