Oh my goodness! I have been on a book frenzy lately! We found a new-to-us used bookstore and OF COURSE I had to buy a few. Picked up a couple of more from the thrift store. I read the "Natural Baby Care" book and it is a wonderful primer on using aromatherapy/essential oils which was exactly what I have been wanting to learn about for the past month!
Last night I had my Mom Monday Night out and spent part of my time at the library. Without having the children with me I was able to take my time and leisurely browse...which then led to an absolutely excessive amount of books borrowed!
Here are this week's library finds by topic!
GREEN LIVING/GARDENING:
- A Greener Faith: Religious Environmentalism and Our Planet's Future by Roger S. Gottlieb

I just stumbled upon your blog last week and really love it! I find it really speaks to how I like to live & keeps me inspired that others are chosing the same path. Thanks for putting out a positive message & example for us all.
I followed you here from comments on Andrea's blog. I'm enjoying reading through your thoughtful posts. I enjoyed reading Vaccinations: A thoughtful parents guide. I found that it was a fairly balanced and informative book. I probably need to read again. Might I reccomend taking notes. All the great info from the book is mixed up in my brain now. Have a blessed day

I was delighted to find the book "Radio Plays for Young People" published in 1950 for 2 bucks at my library the other day. I thought the kids would have a lot of fun with it.
hi Aimee!
Just like me, a sucker for books, esp. used and library ones. I can't say no.
Look like great titles.
Thanks again for all your encouragment on taking a solitude trip....
