Great book to have!

Full of great, great ideas!!!!! Much more than a typical arts and crafts kind of book, this book is full of wonderful little ideas to make your kids feel special and part of the family. Things that shout, "I love you and find you worthy". I don't know how else to describe it, I love this book!

Meggan's Creative Family

This book is a gift for my daughter, so I am unable to provide a review on the book. But if it is a book she requested, I'm assured it is a good one. The price was right.

Food for the "Soule"

This is such a wonderful book!!!! Amanda Soule's book in addition to her blog has feed my "soule" in so many ways. It is truly inspiring. I have always loved being creative, but this book reminds us of the necessity of making the time on a daily basis, to do creative things.

breathtaking

As I read this book (in two days, and now I'm starting over again), I just kept thinking, "Wow." Wow because this is simple family living, which I hope to have. Wow because of the peace which seems an underlying theme throughout the ideas and examples. Wow because the photographs, which the author took herself, are stunning. Wow because the projects and ideas, far from anything I'd read or heard before, are doable and exciting. And wow because the author sounds like a best-friend/mentor, gently coaxing and leading to new ideas.

The only thing I thought it was missing was the Daddy side of things - what's his role in all this creating?

Otherwise, exactly (and more than) what I was looking for, and I was surprised by how much of the book I plan to apply immediately! My inspiration wire is hanging as I type :-)
