Sunday Surf: Chicken Coops, Attachment Parenting and Lip Balm

Happy Sunday!  Here is a roundup of some links that I have loved this week.

But first, will someone please take this granola away from me?  I made a batch yesterday and it is soooo good.   I am never going to be able to eat granola from the store anymore – this is so much better than any I have ever had before.

Oh, how I love this post!  My son is only two but I sometimes feel like the heyday of attachment parenting in our relationship has passed because he is quickly becoming such a big boy.  Not so!  Momioso assures us that it isn’t too late to start (or continue) an attachment parenting relationship with an older child.  Music to my earss.

Modern Alternative Mama has written a piece on using essential oils.  I have a ton of essential oils and have only recently started to explore their uses.

Just because I am obsessing on chicken coops lately, look at these gorgeous chicken coops.  Doesn’t this make you want to raise chickens?

I promise I am absolutely not being compensated in any way for this plug, but thanks to a reader’s comment this week I was turned on to Northern Essence for natural beauty, cleaning and baby products.  Wow!  I ordered some lip butter (Cucumber Melon and Banana Pudding)- it was inexpensive, arrived in two days, and is far better than any storebought lip balm I have ever used.  I can’t overstate how impressed I am.

Finally, I just got Everything I Want to Do Is Illegal as a gift, and I cannot put it down.  The book is written by a farmer who makes a wonderful argument against all of the government intrusion into our food production.  I was outraged by the end of the first chapter.  So far, I absolutely love it.

Have a wonderful Sunday!
