The Magical Christmas Do Over
Linda West - 2018
Extraordinarily heartwarming and unusual!” J.Stevens Thrown together by fate, three women get a second chance to fix their lives when they are given magical cookies that allow them to go back in time and do-over one Christmas from their past. They say once in a blue moon you get the chance of a lifetime, and this was that blue moon. “An instant Christmas classic! A heartwarming novel about overcoming the past, second chances and miracles.” P. Hilton A strange Christmas letter appears and the forces of nature begin to pull three very different women into a Christmas adventure they could never imagine. Macy Kennedy is a hot-headed powerful lawyer in Manhatten used to getting her own way, but this Christmas nothing goes as planned. Her fiance dumps her via a text, and her dreams of a true love and a Tiffany diamond ring crumble around her...again. It seems as if things just couldn't get worse when she receives one last Christmas card with news she never expected. Now, she is forced to go back home to the small town of Kissing Bridge she has avoided for over thirty years. She bribes her loyal secretary, Samantha, a sweet pretty girl with scars she never talks about, and the firm’s maid, Naomi, a woman with a secret gift, to drive her through an oncoming blizzard up to the small mountain town to accomplish the sordid ordeal. Kissing Bridge is a rural snow town high up in the mountains, full of kooky neighbors, magical cookies and Christmas obsessed locals. Little can they ever imagine, that a rare mystical blue moon hangs high in the sky on this Christmas Eve, and magic lives in this enchanted mountain town full of love and friendship. Miracles happen every day in the adorable town of Kissing Bridge, but nobody expected this. An adventure of a lifetime awaits, when three friends get a second chance to go back in time and change their lives forever. Reviews: ***** My favorite book I've ever read I picked this up because it made me curious and I liked the adorable cover. I never expected to fall in love with the characters and root for them the way I did. This book is full of Christmas spirit. I loved it. I think it should become a holiday classic movie like Miracle on 34th Street! Great." O. Dayton ***** My favorite Kissing Bridge novel! "I cannot get enough of the Kissing Bridge novels! I love that you get the opportunity to know and love each of the characters. Every story she has written about this Christmas obsessed town evokes emotion but this book was different. I shed tears of joy, tears of sadness, and tears of relatability. Everyone wants the chance to fix something in their past and these three women got that chance and deserved every second." L. Flours ***** What if you could go back in time and change something? "I love the book: the thought of going back in time to where you think everything went wrong and do it differently? Three women have regrets about their life and the paths they chose. They traveled to Kissing Village and took a chance. The stories are so different and so poignant that I finished in one sitting. I had to find out what happened. I found the characters believable and hopeful when they took the possible chance to redo the past. For anyone who loves a good story and possibilities."

Born to Eat: Raising Happy, Healthy Eaters on Real, Whole Foods
Leslie Schilling - 2017
With a little patience, presence, and skill, you can transform nearly any meal into a baby-friendly food. Who knew a little planning could have the whole family eating together and better?In the past, humans thrived without “baby food” (which came about in the mid-nineteenth century). Think about it: the human race has made it this far largely on whole food. Only in recent decades have we begun overthinking and over-processing our foods, which has led to chronic dieting, chronic disease, disordered eating, body distrust, and epidemic confusion about the best way to feed ourselves and families. Eating is an innate skill that has been overcomplicated by marketing schemes and a dieting culture.We, as humans, are Born to Eat, and it seems only natural for us to start at the beginning—babies are born to eat, too. When babies show signs of readiness for solid foods, they can eat what we eat and become healthy, happy eaters in the process. By honoring self-regulation (also an innate skill) and focusing on a whole food foundation, we foster healthier children and families.Aside from the United States, almost every other country is accepting of this approach, known as baby-led weaning. With advice, instructions, and recipes from nutritionist and wellness experts Wendy Jo Peterson and Leslie Schilling, you can ensure that your infant is introduced to healthy and tasty food as early as possible.
