Soaring Through the Toddler and Preschool YearsDo you have toddlers or preschoolers in your life? If so, you will enjoy my funny experiences, helpful advice, and methods of coping with four small kiddos!
I have packed years of parenting experience and humor into this e-Book!Hi! I'm Kristin McPherson, and I have four children and another on the way. Meet Michael (6), Ronnie (4), Josiah (2), and Abigail (1)! We are a home-schooling family in West Plains, Missouri; and we enjoy fishing, hunting, camping, and serving in our local church. I can remember back to the days when I only had one or two children and felt SOOOOO overwhelmed with life! The house was a mess, the kids were a mess, and... I was a mess! Now we joke that I can keep a cleaner house and accomplish much more with 4 kiddos underfoot than I even did before we started birthing babies! It has been quite a learning process, and I'd love to take the opportunity to share with you some of the lessons that Life With Kids has taught me.  I would love to share with YOU how it it possible and rewarding to enjoy your toddlers and preschoolers!If you answered "Yes!" to any of those questions... this resource is for you! Dear Fellow Mommy, I'll let you in on a secret: There have been days when I didn't really enjoy being Mommy! I've have had my share of irritations and wondering whether it was really a good idea to have so many little kids back to back! But you know what? The benefits and rewards far outweigh the irritations! I have learned to enjoy the ride, accept the fact that being *caught up* with housework and laundry just ain't happenin' in the next decade, and realize that... my babies are growing up too fast, and I only have one chance to get it right! God has brought many people and circumstances into my life to mold and shape me into a loving and joyful Mommy. I want to help you experience the full joy and blessing of having little children call you Mama.
I remember so well being the overwhelmed mommy of one or two kids, wondering how on earth my friend with 3... 5... now 7(!) got anything done, much less appeared to get more done than I did! 
I remember needing my husband to babysit so that I could go grocery shopping because it was just too much trouble to take one little carseat along!I remember being aggravated with a little toddler who was getting "into" everything and 'preventing' me from getting the house cleaned. Praise the Lord, I survived those days... and my poor babies did, too! Now I have 4 children, ages 6 and younger, whose presence I enjoy each day. I rarely use babysitters... and that's okay with me. I can go grocery shopping with all of them, and we can race through our chores in the mornings to move on to bigger and better tasks. We are just "soaring" along, enjoying life and family. We still have our rough times, but overall life is such a joy when there are precious children to love (and be loved by!). This e-Book is ideal for moms (and dads, grandparents, and babysitters) who...
