Don't Miss Your Kids: They'll Be Gone Before You Know It

by Charlene Ann Baumbich

It happens in a finger snap--suddenly your kids are grown and gone. So now's the time to enjoy them while they're till home.

Parenting is hard. But this book encourages us. And it helps us realize what a treasure these crazy, irritating, wonderful kids are. Carlene Baumbich helps us keep a sense of humor, see the daily crises and humiliating moments from a positive perspective, recognize our children's uniqueness, stay humble (your kids probably help you with this), and give ourselves permission to our kids.

"Children are a gift from the Lord," the psalmist said. Let's enjoy them now, this book adds, for they'll be gone before we know it.

About the author

Author, Speaker, Humorist. Seventeen books under her belt (including the Dearest Dorothy series and the Snowglobe Connections series), Charlene is still going strong, finding writing (including grocery lists and brainstorming sessions and eCards to her grandgirlies) more enjoyable than ever.

It's awesome when my fictional characters bless me. Like Evelyn in FINDING OUR WAY HOME is fond of saying, "Grace, Amen."
