This is a beautiful book about “mindful mothering” – how to use mothering as a way of furthering Buddhist practice, and vice versa. At times, I thought I wasn’t going to enjoy the book – it took a while for me to start to enjoy the author’s “voice” – but I’m glad I stuck with it, because there are some truly beautiful things in this book. I found it inspiring, and touching, and I feel like it’s given me lots of insight, and also some ideas of ways to improve both my parenting and my Buddhist practice. I’d highly recommend this book.
