The Rewards of Having Closely Spaced Siblings

I find having closely spaced children one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Not a day goes by that I am not challenged but equally rewarded and thankful for the many blessings bestowed me.

A reader recently inspired me to post this. I guess I wrote an article that may come across suggesting that parenting closely spaced children is all negative. In reality, parenting closely spaced children is not negative.

There are times when things are tough. I'm sure as time goes on we'll face even more challenges. But to me that is the biggest joy about parenting my children.

One of the things that inspires me most about my children is the close bond they share. I don't know that their bond would be that close if they weren't so close in age. Hannah absolutely worships and adores her sister.

Yes, they sometimes fight and don't want to share. But ultimately I can see everyday just how much love there is in my home, and I feel blessed.

I hope you take that away with you each and every day you parent your closely spaced children. There are so many blessings associated with having closely spaced children. Keep that in mind each and every day you wake up to face a new challenge or a new mystery associated with raising your wonderful kids!
