5/2 :: May 2nd :: a return to our 52 weeks project. There are so many amazingly beautiful and creative shots in that group -- I really want to get more into it. So here are our three pairs of shoes today. James is, of course, jumping.
Enjoy your weekend, everyone! It's cold here -- we're having a late spring, it seems. But I am looking forward to a fun weekend of making, at any rate!
Carol Petrash: Earthways: Simple Environmental Activities for Young Children
Becky A. Bailey: Easy to Love, Difficult to Discipline: The 7 Basic Skills for Turning Conflict into Cooperation
I normally don't go for these "how-to" parenting books. But this one has been so very useful to me. It's about self-discipline rather than strategies for disciplining children. It has been helpful to me as I've worked on conquering my own depression.
Jon & Myla Kabat-Zinn: Everyday Blessings: The Inner Work of Mindful Parenting
Martha Stewart Living Magazine: Everyday Food: Great Food Fast (Vintage)

Lullabies and Poems for Children (Everyman's Library Pocket Poets)
Eugene Schwartz: Millennial Child : Transforming Education in the Twenty-First Century
Katrina Kenison: Mitten Strings for God: Reflections for Mothers in a Hurry
This is probably my favorite book of all time; I seem to have needed to re-read it at least once or twice a year, ever since Elle was just a couple months old.
Peggy O'Mara: Natural Family Living: The Mothering Magazine Guide to Parenting
Louisa Harding: Natural Knits for Babies and Moms: Beautiful Designs Using Organic Yarns
Elsa Beskow: Peter in Blueberry Land (Mini Edition)
Elsa Beskow is our overall favorite children's book author/illustrator, and Elle says that this is her favorite Elsa Beskow book.

Oops. I thought I'd be able to see all the creativity in the 52 weeks link, but I'm not part of the group. I'm glad however, that you're enjoying it.

CUTE feet! I need to do that again with my kids. OK - I am ready to commit to a doll especially made by YOU@!!! We would love for you to try the African American doll for our little Destiny, wherever she is, as we wait patiently for her arrival. Let me know what I need to do next. Thanks so much.
