When I started my quest (and yes, it is a quest) for the most non-toxic, healthy living possible; Paige Wolf shared a copy of her book Spit That Out! with me.
It was so refreshing that I wasn’t the only Mom out there that was obsessing over every detail of food, product and environmental gunk that might effect my family. Sometimes, I wish that I could just forget everything that I have learned. Even though that would be easier, I am grateful to have the resources and information to make the most informed decisions for my family.
Paige Wolf’s book, Spit That Out! is a perfect resources for parents who need tips and practical suggestions to raise your family in world of guilt.
As a first time Mommy, it is inherent to feel guilty about did I kiss my kids enough today or did I give my children “equal amounts” of affection. Did I lose my mind and wreak my kids forever? This was going through my mind before I ever thought about the products that go on their skin or what types of pesticides might be on the food that they are eating.
It was dizzying how guilty I felt about everything in an attempt to give my family the very best. I really liked Spit That Out! because I frequently thought, “Yes, I feel that way too!”
Paige’s reassurance and Green Mom Sanity Tips at the end of each chapter are exactly what I needed when I read her book. If you need some reassurance about raising your children in the age of environmental or other types of guilt…this book is for you!
