I haven't blogged in a great long while, mostly because I decided I wanted to do other more fulfilling things with my time, and for whatever reason, I did not find blogging a really satisfying activity (which I know makes me uncool, unpopular and off the radar...alas!). I have always been a Luddite and it seems times haven't changed! In graduate school I refused to get an email account; I often think I might have been better keeping that committment. Real human contact is at the top of my list for what makes life wonderful; as for the written word, nothing beats a letter. If the postal service wanted me to, I'd start the campaign to bring back the letter.
So a brief reading update anyway. I've been really satisfied with some of my recent parenting reads. Here they are:
Still love to read and re-read: Mothering as a Spiritual Practice
How to Behave, So Your Kids Will To!
Children: The Challenge
Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother
