My Practices of Mothering: the things I actually do to enjoy mothering tinies by Sarah Bessey

Good quick read

This was a great book to remind me that I'm not alone in this big world of mothering. Sarah parents similarly to how I parent, and I found myself echoing a lot of what she wrote. Not a lot of "new" stuff, but a good read anyway.

While the format of this book is a little rough (it's a series of blog posts edited together), the content is solid. It's essentially a series of tips and advice from Sarah Bessey, author of Jesus Feminist and her award-winning blog, about how she parents her children. It's written in Bessey's trademark style; friendly, warm, and conversational, and while she definitely has her own opinions, I can respect her tone. Her advice here is both about the practical aspects of parenting- such as discipline and attachment- as well as the spiritual aspects. I definitely prefer the latter chapters, but there is value in her warm approach, even if you don't parent in the same way. It's short and sweet, and while maybe not a must-read for parenting, a great supplement for new- and old- mamas.
