Plant-based eating!).

300 | When Being a Mom is Just. Plain. Hard: Ch 47 of Mom, You're Amazing! And Other Things I Want to Tell You

I never want to be the older mom who discourages the younger mom, but neither do I want to be the mom who paints such an unrealistic picture of family life, that no one can relate to me. If you're a mom who is going through a hard season of parenting teens, you are not alone. Today I lay out the truth about parenting teens–the bad and the beautiful.  Also, Happy New Year, and thank you for being here.  JoinThe Abide Sessions—a weekly, premium spiritual formation membership for women craving depth, clarity, and a steady rhythm with Christ.
