Delightful Links for the Weekend
Mishap of the week: I accidentally poured myself a glass of vanilla instead of cranberry juice. The bottles are the same shape and were both sitting on my counter! I got a nice surprise when I took a sip. (Take heart if you do things like this, too. I am involved in some sort of mix up most days!).
Yesterday I sat on the beach for 4 hours. It was bliss. A nice change from being completely bed-ridden (which I was for an entire week when I became ill about a month ago. That story is coming. I promise).
I have some wonderful reading for you this week. Many of these posts are kind of serious, which reflects the place I am in right now. Being flat on your back in pain lends itself to some introspection and pondering of life.
I hope you enjoy reading these and that they provide you with some food for thought.

The Natural Mothering eBook Bundle is coming this week.
This package is similar to the last bundle in that it has a ton of books for one low price, but this time it is focused on natural mothering. The bundle includes over 35 ebooks and resources (valued at $525) for only $29.97.
The sale runs from June 10-17. I'll share more details on Monday.
Have a wonderful weekend!
