We took a ride on an old steam train today! We had a picnic, played with balls,bubbles, made new friends and even had a chance to climb up the engine and look at the coal tender…An amazing adventure!

Articles & posts that I’m sharing this week:

The Mule has this great read sharing that babies really need responsiveness from their parents. I appreciated and agree with the inclusiveness of the suggestions “Any parent, regardless of whether they choose bottle and buggy, or boob and sling, can be a Responsive Parent. ”  read more here.

We love reading here and I was really happy to stumble on this awesome list here from positively positive which has 50 children’s books with a positive message. 

Analytical Armadillo wrote a witty parody to a recent article on bottle feeding (link to the original is in the post). Not only is the post funny, I appreciate the conclusion:  “new mums should be free to make their bottle or breast choice without judging or being judged (or compared to farmyard animals).”  read the rest of the  post here.

Gathering activities to do over the summer break, I found this excellent post from No Time For Flash Cards with 25 alphabet activities for kids!

I Thought I Knew Mama had this great guest post from Jennifer a.k.a Hybrid Rasta Mama on 10 things I am glad I did NOT know before becoming a mother. 

Plus I stumbled upon this: 

Wishing you a wonderful Sunday!

Peace & Be Well,
