It is hard. At times, so hard. But giving up is not an option. <br /><br />i wonder if i'm making the right decision, if i should be doing one thing vs the other, and i guess there's always going to be opinions, but knowing that you're doing the best YOU can possibly do is the way to have no regrets.

I have 3 beautiful girls and 2 strapping young men. ;) My baby is now 5 and my oldest will be 13 in September. This post is every mother's struggle, every mother's prayer. The thing I have learned on this journey is that the deeper into parenting you get, the more you realize you don't have the answers. I used to look at more experienced mothers and think they must know something I didn't. But I guess all they knew was that as a Mom you never feel like you have done enough. I've decided to really live a quote I saw the other day. "Don't get so focused on raising good kids that you forget you already have them." This post is proof positive that you are doing great!Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15735937453303047247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6222684610127747768.post-47586857741942006742012-06-06T09:25:33.098-07:002012-06-06T09:25:33.098-07:00Beautiful post Holly!

No matter what age those little souls enter your life, they teach you what you need to know at that very moment. You always keep learning... together. At age 30, age 35 or even 40, you're always learning and figuring out this crazy cool journey.Grabbing My Happyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14322867056517377022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6222684610127747768.post-28475928513441738702012-06-06T08:56:44.421-07:002012-06-06T08:56:44.421-07:00Oh Holly - what a love post!

I'd say it sounds like you are doing a great job and headed in the right direction with her.
