Loving the Little Years: Motherhood in the Trenches by Rachel Jankovic

So... this blog didn't exactly get off to a roaring start!

I've just had my second baby, a girl called Amelie, who is now 5 weeks old. Life with two is so much more intense than with just one. It's made me want to start this up more regularly to give me an outlet for my thoughts and emotions.



The book in the title was lent to me by a Christian friend recently. The author had 5 children, all 5 and under, when she wrote it, so she knows what she's talking about. Each chapter is short enough to read in a couple of minutes and she's a very wise lady!

I have found it really practically helpful for dealing with life as a mother in a way that is pleasing to God and good for your children. Highly recommend if you're in this phase of life!
