From the author: "I didn t write this book because mothering little ones is easy for me. I wrote it because it isn t. I know that this is a hard job, because I am right here in the middle of it. I know you need encouragement because I do too. "This is not a tender reminiscence from someone who had children so long ago that she only remembers the sweet parts. At the time of writing this, I have three children in diapers, and I can recognize the sound of hundreds of toothpicks being dumped out in the hall. "This is a small collection of thoughts on mothering young children for when you are motivated, for when you are discouraged, for the times when discipline seems fruitless, and for when you are just plain old tired. "The opportunities for growth abound here but you have to be willing. You have to open your heart to the tumble. As you deal with your children, deal with yourself always and first. This is what it looks like, and feels like, to walk as a mother with God."

Loving the Little Years: Motherhood in the Trenches$29.99
This book is fantastic for all Mums, especially those who are time poor and feel they couldn't possibly have time to read a book because they are too tired! The chapters are short and to the point. Convicting and encouraging us. She gives practical advice with examples that have helped my husband and I think differently towards the otherwise chaotic/busy times (although that needs practice & reminding at times!). She challenges us to shepherd our children, instead of organising them. Easy to read. The only down side is the quality of the book. The pages are stiff, the binding isn't good & doesn't have a particularly strong cover. Not my choice of publisher. But otherwise the content is great.

Excellent encouragement for mothers of preschoolers
After being encouraged and convicted by Rachel Jankovic's social media posts, I sought out this book. Each short chapter packs a punch, with practical advice and memorable examples for mothers of young children. One thing I really appreciated was being able to reread the chapters often and immediately apply the Biblical approaches Rachel described. Much of what she shared was about growth in and for ME, just as much as it was about growing and disciplining my children. Highly recommended.
