Thank you for letting me write my heart to you, and for accepting me as I am.
My time has come to an end as the blog leader, and I won't be staying with MOPS next year, as most of my kids are off to school and crushes and homework and body changes....
And that's all pretty awesome. Please God, let it be awesome. This new stage of parenting, I have to admit, is daunting.
I was all set and prepped to take on the blog next year, but one night, making dinner and dealing with 3rd grade girl drama, I realized I need to move on.
It's not my kids, it's me. I've tried to keep dealing with my kids as though they are still 3-year-olds, and because of that, discipline has been a struggle. Connecting with them has been a struggle. Discovering who they are again -- a struggle. And I've been stubborn.
I don't want things to change. I was just getting good at this parenting thing, and now it's changing, and I've resisted.
This is hard, you guys. Being a mom is hard.
Keep going. Don't give up. What you do, right now, when they are babies, this counts. Stay strong. Be brave. Keep flourishing and dancing to music in the kitchen, and setting up play dates, and enjoying their intense love for you.
Hopefully I will discover the equally amazing parts of this next stage.
I am handing the baton of "Blog Leader" to Summur Braley, and I know she will shine and love on you and share her heart and take this blog to a new and wonderful place.
Until then, keep flourishing in motherhood!
Blessings,
