In fact, I ended up giving it away. Now, I love love love Sally and her blog and her other writings, and I think she has fabulous insight. However, this book in particular seemed to be more her husband's voice, and I just couldn't get into it. I was especially disheartened when it turned to discipline and it seemed really . . . wishy washy? . . . on spanking/physical discipline, rather than flat out saying, there are better ways. Even the parts directly related to homeschooling, however, I felt came across as almost condescending. It was one of those books that I really wanted to like more than I did.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051258436941012775.post-52131622118608230492013-07-09T12:23:43.050-07:002013-07-09T12:23:43.050-07:00The Birth House is fascinating if you enjoy readin...The Birth House is fascinating if you enjoy reading about birth or midwifery. The Virgin Cure isn't a light read, quite sad, but an interesting commentary on poverty, social class, and feminist issues. I don't typically read historical fiction but these two definitely rank very high on my list of favourite fiction books.Hippie Housewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14718357472343295031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051258436941012775.post-88435496929537413482013-07-09T12:09:42.708-07:002013-07-09T12:09:42.708-07:00I've never heard of Ami McKay.

My mouth started watering after I read your beef sandwich description. Sounds delicious! Hope you love your 30s as much as I've loved mine!<br /><br />Thanks for linking up with What I'm Into!Leigh Kramerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09852895686724474193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051258436941012775.post-27347376445128019682013-07-02T05:39:19.503-07:002013-07-02T05:39:19.503-07:00baby in the bonnet is TOO cute.
