In full disclosure, I’ve been reading this book for a year now…in fact, I’m reading all of Tami Lynn Kent’s books currently. I’m savoring this one in particular and am re-reading sections over and over. Despite the fact that I’m only halfway through and typically only read a few pages in any one sitting, each time I find that seeds of wisdom and inspiration have been planted. I find myself processing and working through things for days afterward. I have incorporated new practices of mothering not only for my son, but for myself with the help of this book and I truly believe it should be on every mother’s bookshelf.
Five Favorite Resources I’m Using Right Now!
Today, I’m sharing some of my absolute favorites from websites to books and I hope you find inspiration, education and nourishing support from these resources.

Green Smoothies:
Oh how I love a green smoothie! In fact, it’s rare to open our fridge without finding at least a jar or two lined up and ready to go! I like to say it’s my “Joyful Non-negotiable.” I love the routine and ritual of slicing, blending, pouring…and the feeling as my body absolutely soaks up the nutrients each day. You will find beautiful photos, tons of recipes and all you need to know to start your own green smoothie habit on the Simple Green Smoothies website. Trust me, it’s addictive.
