Happiness on a 1/2 Acre

I have been having a few rough parenting days with my sweet gal who is soon to turn 10 years old this weekend.  I keep going to bed thinking "Do I expect too much from her?" and "I need her to trust and respect me now, because in a few years it will be even more difficult."  Thoughts like that as I consider the day that has just passed.  Today I read a blog I follow and it made me feel a bit better about things - parenting things.  It gave me a bit of hope also.  Have a look, it might make you feel better too.    Celebrating Motherhood Everyday
