Which books would you add to the list? Share in the comments we all need a little inspiration from time to time to keep us going with this parenting gig.
Nikki, that photo is gorgeous. I've only read raising boys on your list - and that was while I was pregnant with Osc (which is sometime ago now), I must go back a revisit it.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving Fingerpainting in Psych Class by Jay Morgan, all about conscious parenting.
ReplyDeleteNikki, what a beautiful portrait! I haven't read any parenting books apart from Buddhism for Mothers and I love it. I recommend it to all my friends. I might see if I can borrow Growing Great Girls from the library.
ReplyDeleteHave a very Merry Christmas and good luck with your book! Luna. xx
LOVELY photo Nikki!!
