An introduction

Dear Moms of Littles,

Allow us to introduce ourselves.  We are the self-styled “Moms of Middles” (we’re not ready to call ourselves “Older Moms” just yet!), and we have been praying for you and about you.  Specifically, we are a group of moms whose kids are “middles” -- still at home and needing us but out of diapers and able to shower themselves and make their own PB&J sandwiches.  While we certainly face our own set of challenges with this stage of our lives, we all clearly remember the reality of mothering “littles” – the diapering, the nursing, the bedtime battles, and the occasional temper tantrum.  And, not being so far removed from all that, our hearts are with you

We’ve been talking and praying among ourselves about how we might best come alongside you and encourage you as we are commanded in Titus 2.  One of the things that came to mind was a blog.  We remember longing for validation that someone understood the trials and joys we were going through on a daily basis, and we "Moms of Middles" hope to communicate that clearly to you in many ways through this blog.

As we Moms of Middles walk down memory lane, please know that we strive to be honest with you.  Honest in the emotions, the struggles we encountered, the heartaches of motherhood, as well as the joys, the laughs, the triumphs, the A-ha moments and the things we know now that we wish someone had told us before.

We look forward to this journey with you!
