I thought I'd share this post written to mothers. Maybe it's not for everyone. But in my just-post-morning-sickness-state, I found it an encouragement. :)
Good stuff! As for a lot of these sort of things, it's about times and seasons. I personally had to go off reading mum books and the like for a few months because of the terrible guilt and fear of failing expectations etc etc. BUT I have learned there are times for just chucking all the mum blogs and books out the window and just being you and God and the Bible and prayer and learning to CHILL, but then also for times of enjoying those blogs and books free of guilt and being inspired and challenged to press onwards and upwards. I find if I get the right perspective, these things can really help me to grow as a mum and be encouraged to aim high - there's nothing wrong with aiming high and having ideals, as long as we're relying on the grace of God and not our own pride. You are a great mum Carla :)
Great article :)
