Week of August 20th

Play Group
Friday, August 24th, Stover Park, meet about 10 a.m. Here's a map if you need one. It is supposed to warm up by the end of the week, back to the mid-80s.

Looking ahead to next week...
Book Group
We will discuss Shelter for the Spirit: How to Make Your Home a Haven in a Hectic World by Victoria Mann next week on Tuesday, August 28th. The library copies may or may not be all checked out, but you can buy it used for cheap at Amazon (about $4.50 including shipping). I won't be able to make it to book group, but I wish I could. I read the book a couple of years ago and found it very inspirational, but honestly have struggled incorporating anything substantial into my life. I'd love to hear if others have been more successful. Maybe I should try again, now that my kids are older.

What is Attachment Parenting?
Do you ever wonder this. Attachment Parenting International has their 8 principles which are helpful in their thoroughness and comprehensiveness. But here's one mom's view, more from the heart. It's very moving, and I love that she quotes Jan Hunt, our LOCAL attachment parenting writer and educator. Something for me to think about as I begin my week!

Thanks for posting the "one mom's view" Catherine, and thanks Jen for pointing it out to me. I actually did print out Jan Hunt's bullets and put them on the fridge. I could always use reminders until all this becomes second nature...
