You always dreamed of having a houseful of children, but who knew it would leave you feeling so stressed out? Offering encouragement from one mom 'in the trenches' and an older mentor whose kids are grown, this compassionate resource will lift the spirits of any woman feeling isolated, frazzled, or depressed about the throes of parenting.Noteworthy: This author is one of a special group of women who writes for (in)courage, the popular online friendship community. Every day they take turns pulling up a chair to share their stories of what Jesus looks like in their every day, gloriously ordinary, and often messy lives. 240 pages
