Thanks for your comment. What you are going through is TOTALLY normal. We're all in this together. :)April Perryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12798231506799751891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4421893586033340825.post-40557295263387933462013-02-21T22:09:40.883-08:002013-02-21T22:09:40.883-08:00Thank you so much for writing this post!

I am a mom of young children (5, 3 and almost one) and have been feeling overwhelmed lately with wondering if what I am going through is normal and/or if I'm screwing up my kids. :) I was looking at your website, The Power of Moms and was wondering how I could join a group? I don't want to start a group, I just would love to be part of a group with great women and make some new friends and also learn how to become a better mom in the process. I live in Northern Utah and my email address is ewilson386@yahoo.com.

But now don't you think we're able to laugh a little quicker?

Now that I am an almost Empty-Nester I find myself wishing for those earlier years and wanting to do them better with the wisdom I have gained now from Power of Moms.

They really are quite humorous in hind-sight - wish I'd been better at realizing the humor in the midst of it and realizing that the moments do pass and that things are pretty much always OK in the end.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17989085026245237633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4421893586033340825.post-19586882023748005792013-01-17T19:45:49.549-08:002013-01-17T19:45:49.549-08:00Thank you, April!

I sort of assumed that I was just behind because of the curve ball life threw at us, but I am finally realizing that the transition to three preschoolers is hard. This is just the sort of reassurance I needed. I have also been totally transformed by just the "acceptance" section of the book. I love knowing I am not alone.

I am feeling in over my head with our schedule this next month - thank you for reminding me to create memories in all the chaos of this time in our lives!
