The Creative Family is a lovely cup of tea on a chilly night. Amanda Blake Soule takes you in first with her lovely photographs and then with her beautiful writing. She makes it sound so easy but it is all intentional on her part for the sake of her children.
This book is an eco-friendly how-to homemaking book with a dash of Waldorf Inspired living thrown in. First she concentrates on the self because we all know if mama is unhappy then no one is happy. Second, she focuses on the life of the child and brings you into their world of creativity. Third she brings in the entire family unit sharing what her family does to make each day count. Finally, Amanda brings it full circle when she invites you to venture outside of the family and into the community.
Within each unit Self, Child, Family and Community Amanda shares simple things you can do to bring the natural world into your home, your spirit, and into your relationships. She includes various crafts which you can do to bring beauty into you daily living space.
