Summary
One of my biggest FAQs is, “How do you survive and thrive when you have only littles?” Followed closely by, “How do you find balance and meet the needs of so many different ages when you’re mothering multiple stages?” And finally, “How do you adjust to being needed less and losing some of your primary role in your kids’ lives as they age?”
Clearly, moms are hungry for solid principles on which to build their motherhood skills at every stage and age.
While this episode is hardly an exhaustive study of how to engage with every phase our children might go through, it is a great jumping off point for biblical truths that will serve you well as your children grow, and your role changes.
Be encouraged that the Lord is not surprised by any mothering challenge you face, and He is faithful to equip you with just what you need just when you need it.

| 0:06.7 | I'm your host, Abby Halberstadt, Happy Wife, Mama to Ten, Bible Believing Christian. |
| 0:11.8 | And on today's episode, I'm going to tackle some of your burning questions that you |
| 0:15.2 | guys have submitted to me on social media about what it's like to be a mama of all stages. And some of the ways the Lord has taught |
| 0:22.4 | me lessons during each stage. But before I jump into that, I want to highlight for you our podcast |

| 1:07.5 | hit full adults with children of their own stage, but every other one with children living at home I have experienced at this point. |

| 1:18.6 | I posted something about the fact that I get a pedicure every eight-ish weeks. |
| 1:23.7 | I get a gel pedicure that lasts for forever. |
| 1:26.3 | And it's just something that I have gotten into the |
| 1:28.9 | habit of doing over the past four years or so as a way to not have to paint my own toenails and then |
| 1:34.1 | immediately have them stepped on by a small child and messed up, which feels like such a waste of time. |
| 1:38.9 | And it's so frustrating. And it's something that I definitely did many times when I only had small |
| 1:44.0 | children. |
