Nienie has inspired me!

 

I recently read Stephanie Nielson’s book and it has changed my life.  She reminded me how much I wanted to be a wife and mother.  She is so inspiring. I feel I have somehow lost my place a little as my life has changed these last two years.  All of my kids are in school full time and my husband works a lot.  I sit here all by myself and miss my family and can’t wait for everyone to get home.  Within five minutes of the kids being home I sometimes wish they would go back.  This causes me to feel very guilty.  Somehow reading Nienie’s book has calmed my soul and reminded me that I wanted to be a wife and mother for my career.  It has helped me relax and enjoy life better.  It is great and challenging having all my kids within three years (twins and one three years younger).  They were all babies and toddlers together (that is very challenging) and now they are all in school together.  I use to have no time for myself and now I have too much.  It is nice that they all can shower and dress themselves, help me clean up and are starting to do their homework by themselves. I sometimes get tired of the Mom life, but as I read Nienie's book it helped to remind me how I wanted this life and to enjoy it and focus on the good (kisses, hugs, funny things said, three kids on my lap..and a dog, whispers of I love you) and not the bad (fighting and whining).  If you haven’t read her book you should!  It has changed my life.  Her story of courage, love and her wonderful example of being a happy mother has inspired me to be a happier and more content person.
