Preparing meals together, playing favorite games, and sharing other family traditions are all hygge. (Cell phones, bickering, and complaining are not!)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One omega. Two alphas... and two babies. Let the romancing begin! Devlin's come a long way since he was asked to choose between two alphas and chose them both, but it's not only his kids that have some growing up to do if their family is going to make it. Rami, Naveen and he have moved on from their less than perfect beginning: they have two babies they love, Rami’s in college, Devlin’s researching at university like he dreamed, and Naveen is devoted to teaching their girls Urdu through the three single nursery rhymes and five phrases he knows in the language—also, diapers. But while the alphas are comfortable with their relationship and Devlin is happy enough to gate-crash, they still have a lot of exploring to do—in bed and out of it—before they find a way to be together that can last forever. It will all come down to whether they can learn from their past mistakes and trust each other to do better, but when you have been hurt as badly as Devlin has, trust is an expensive coin to spend. "The Parenting Habits of Werewolves" is the conclusion to the Werewolves of Windermere trilogy, which must be read in order.

Download or read book The Kind Mama written by Alicia Silverstone and published by Rodale Books. This book was released on 2014-04-15 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When did making babies get to be so hard? Infertility is on the rise globally, affecting as many as one in six couples. But instead of considering diet and lifestyle factors, doctors pump their patients full of expensive and invasive fertility treatments. Once pregnant, women just accept that carrying a baby will be the gassy, swollen, irritable, sleepless nightmare that has become the new normal—and then assume that new motherhood will be just as challenging, from breastfeeding woes to screaming fits. It doesn't have to be that way. In The Kind Mama, Alicia Silverstone has created a comprehensive and practical guide empowering women to take charge of their fertility, pregnancy, and first 6 months with baby. Drawing on her own experience, as well as that of obstetricians, midwives, nutritionists, holistic health counselors, and others, Silverstone offers advice on getting one's "baby house" in order through nutrient-rocking foods that heal and nourish, and, once pregnant, gentle ways to boost comfort, energy, and health during each trimester. She helps readers navigate everything from prenatal testing and birth plans to successful breastfeeding and creating a supportive "baby nest." The result is an authoritative, one-stop guide that empowers women to trust their instincts during this vital milestone, while helping them embark on a healthy and more vibrant path to motherhood.

Download or read book Parenting with a Purpose written by Walter E. McDonald and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2010-06 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parenting With A Purpose Parenting is not about ownership; it is about stewardship, and stewardship is about doing a job for God. Parenting is not about being glorified; it is about glorifying God. Parenting is not about lifting up children or being lifted up by children; it is about lifting up Christ by, "Bringing children up in the training and instruction of the Lord." When the objective of parenting is to glorify God, God gets the glory and parents get the joy. And there is no joy like the joy that a parent experiences when his child grows like Jesus grew, "In wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men." Walter E. McDonald currently teaches a young adult Sunday school class for parents with children in elementary school and middle school. He was ordained a deacon in 1978, and he has been teaching Sunday school since 1965. He has taught children, youth, high school students, college students; young married couples, single adults, and senior adults. He has also worked with youth mission groups such as Royal Ambassadors and Shepherd Boys. His approach to teaching, no matter what age group he teaches, has always been that of the Apostle Paul written in 1 Corinthians 2:2, "For I determined not to know anything among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified." (KJV)

Download or read book Naked Babies written by Nick Kelsh and published by Hay House, Inc. This book was released on 2009-03-01 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Naked Babies, Nick Kelsh and Anna Quindlen collaborate to produce a unique view of babies—one that owes nothing to tradition, sentimentality, or the cult of the cute. Unlike traditional baby photographs, Nick Kelsh’s amazing black-and-white pictures focus on specific aspects of babies—the perfection of a hand, the swirls of a cowlick, the smoothness of skin on the neck—and all are honest, exquisite, and invitingly tactile. Anna Quindlen’s essays are as graceful, snappy, perceptive, and personal as anything she has ever written. They muse on what it is about babies that causes our hearts to crinkle and fold: "The meaning of life is in them." You’ll share some of the things that Quindlen has learned as a mother, such as: "From time to time, I would lie on the floor with my babies to see exactly what they were seeing when it looked as though they were just wasting time" and . . . "The next time you’re sitting in a meeting after three cups of coffee, badly needing to go to the bathroom but instead doodling dutifully, crossing your legs and watching the clock, remember that if you were a baby, you would have gone by now, and no one would be the wiser." Kelsh’s photographs and Quindlen’s text complement each other perfectly. Two masters of their craft have created an unusual meditation and wondrous book—a totally original gift for every parent or parent-to-be.
