I wanted to write a quick post about a few books that I've discovered lately that I am really digging.

EVERYTHING VEGAN
Our friends Teagan and Scott who visited us for my birthday brought along the most amazing Vegan Cookbook I've seen. I am not a fan of cookbooks, I find that I do not have time for them. I always just put things together on my own, coming up with recipes depending on what ingredients we have at home. This, however, was the first cookbook that made me want to run out to the grocery store and buy a ton of random ingredients for their recipes. I love the photography in it, the diversity of recipes and they taste great. It's a great book for non vegans as well, since all the recipes are incredibly healthy and tasty.

Completely off topic, but have you had your hair cut in the finger worms pictures? It looks great!
Speaking of the finger worms, i had a book as a child that was similar, except it had a little puppet that you put your finger into, and followed him through the pages of the book. It’s on Amazon too: http://www.amazon.com/Squiggly-Wigglys-Surprise-Finger-Puppet/dp/0843106328. My parents still have it at their house so they can read it to bubby when we visit. He likes to grab hold of the puppet 🙂
Yes I did 🙂 it was time, I was ruining my hair by always wearing a bun. By the time it grows back out Lexi won’t be grabbing it much 😉
Ah it does look so good! I’m terrified to cut mine off but I’m just making my breakage situation worse by wearing it up everyday. Maybe I will have to just come to terms with the fact its time for a mom cut, for a short period of time.
Hey it’s not a mom cut if 1. you don’t plan on keeping it, 2. It looks cute and 3. You periodically cut your hair short before baby.
So go for it!!! Just keep it fun and you won’t regret it.
To be honest I love my hair long but every two years I just HAVE to cut it short. It feels so liberating. My girlfriend who cut it totally got on my case for always wearing it in the bun. I guess it damages roots too. So she cut it shorter than I wanted but I’m still happy.
What a wonderful list of books! Thanks so much for sharing! There are a few that I really interested in , and am going to add to my “must buy soon” list.
Hey! I LOVE your blog! I find it very helpful. Just wanted to share a book that someone told me about that my husband and I LOVE. It’s called “Superbaby” by Dr Jenn Berman. I read a lot too, and it’s my favorite book so far. A very easy read and engaging!
Thank you!
Yes, I have read Superbaby and loved it too. It’s in my list of Books. It’s a very good all encompassing guide!
Whoa!!!! I really wanna read all of them! 🙂
Esp the China Study!
Thanks for these recommendations! I hadn’t seen either the finger worm or the doodles books before and they’ll make great gifts!
I like books reviews. Although not my topic of interest, thank you Lena :-))))
There’s also a great book called “A year without Made in China”. It definitely got me thinking.
Although, I think I’ll definitely go and get some of these books!
Well done Mumma x
We loved Good Nights. My kids are outta our bed now, and I miss that sweet shared sleep time.
