This attractive site provides the "best of both worlds" – exceptional essays, advice, and information on attachment parenting, as well as one of the best attachment-related online stores offering well-selected items for babies, children, and parents.

The "Parenting Issues" section includes articles by the site owner and other leading writers, including Katie Allison Granju. This section covers a wide range of topics, including pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding, baby wearing, sleep, homeschooling, and spirituality. The article "Children Have a Right to be Out in the World", a heartfelt plea for greater acceptance of children in public places, should be required reading for all adults in our society.

The site also includes a unique collection of book excerpts and quotes on mindfulness in parenting called "Still Thinking". The essay "Parenting as Practice", includes this charming thought: "You could look at each baby as a little Buddha or Zen master, your own private mindfulness teacher".

There are numerous other sections, including a bartering page, an email discussion, and three excellent advice columns: "Ask the Childbirth Educator", "Ask the Dads", and "Ask the Feminist Mother". Free subscriptions to the popular e-mail newsletter "Growing All the Time" are available, and all previous issues are archived. Forums will soon be available on many parenting topics.

The "Babywearing" section includes inspiring stories from parents, and the must-read article "The Vital Touch". A collection of beautiful baby-wearing photographs sent in by site visitors is the "frosting on the cake" for this comprehensive site.

This wonderful site has certainly fulfilled the owner's mission to "address the spiritual lives of parents and children by sharing helpful information, telling meaningful stories, and selling products that can enhance a spiritual journey."
