That Kind of a Day

"The best time for planning a book is while you're doing the dishes."
-Agatha Christie

"Write down the thoughts of the moment. Those that come unsought for are commonly the most valuable."
-Francis Bacon

Unfortunately, that may be why it takes me so long to do the dishes.

This book is probably the best, most complete cookbook I can recommend.

A classic from a master of modern spirituality.

A complete nutrition primer. The best explanation of what to eat, what not to eat, and why. Plus troubleshooting for many health problems, fertility-related or not.

This book contains many useful recipes and other information (how to feed a baby, too) for the whole foods kitchen. I do not share the author's bias on many topics, but even so, a highly recommended cookbook.

The complete, original guide to the out of doors. The introduction alone is worth the price of this book, especially for someone who is nervous or unsure of how to go about nature study.

While you have to wade through a certain amount of poltical commentary and new age fluff to get to the meat of this book, it is still one of the most complete herbal manuals I've found. Enough information here to overwhelm a beginner, but a great reference to have on hand. Plan to unpack this one a bit at a time!

Although I do not consider myself an unschooler, here is a book to help even the tighest-wound home educator relax and bring joy into education.

The classic. A must-read for anyone with a preschooler under their roof.
