Celeste Dean @celestron2000.bsky.social · 09/12/2024Audiobooks allow me to cram more books into my busy life and allow me to reduce the drudgery of laundry, kitchen prep, dishes and long drives 220
Celeste Dean @celestron2000.bsky.social · 09/12/2024As a physician and a mom, I feel strongly that encouraging healthy eating and a familiarity with basic cooking is one of the most important life skills we can teach our children, setting them up for a lifetime of good health. Books I found helpful: #BookSky #parentingbooks #parenting 250
Celeste Dean @celestron2000.bsky.social · 09/12/2024and for younger kids I loved this one: m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61z... 011
Celeste Dean @celestron2000.bsky.social · 09/12/2024Be warned, there's some fairly disturbing content that's hard to read at times, but I think it also is helpful in that it's really getting into some of our worst fears about raising boys. I appreciate how honest and introspective the author is, examine her beliefs from different angles. 111
Celeste Dean @celestron2000.bsky.social · 09/12/2024Yes, definitely addresses both. I haven't read "Under Pressure". 010
Celeste Dean @celestron2000.bsky.social · 09/12/2024Coddling looks more at education/ college campuses, a continuation of some of the stuff from "How to Raise an Adult", especially valuable for teachers. This one's targeted a bit more to parents and those with pre-teens/ teens 010
Celeste Dean @celestron2000.bsky.social · 09/12/2024It really continues a conversation begun in "The Coddling of the American Mind" (Which I also highly recommend) about the harms of social media and un-fettered access to the internet especially for children and teens. 111
Celeste Dean @celestron2000.bsky.social · 09/12/2024Also this one if you haven't already... m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51H... 021
Celeste Dean @celestron2000.bsky.social · 09/12/2024Looks like a good stack, I've read a bunch of those. This is my current Audible, not done yet, but already I highly recommend it m.media-amazon.com/images/I/413... 113

Celeste Dean @celestron2000.bsky.social · 06/12/2024Wow, this looks fascinating. Just finished reading Revelation and was struck by the resemblance of our modern society to "the Whore Babylon" even in context of the Roman Empire 000
Celeste Dean @celestron2000.bsky.social · 06/12/2024I thought these were both excellent, I also highly recommend "The Kingdom, The Power and The Glory" by Tim Alberta 010

Celeste Dean @celestron2000.bsky.social · 03/12/2024Ooh, looks good. Thanks for the recommendation. 000
Celeste Dean @celestron2000.bsky.social · 03/12/2024I just finished the audio version of this lovely, short book and would recommend it to anyone. Beautifully and meditatively written, Robin Wall Kilmer draws on ecological and indigenous wisdom to encourage an ethic of community over consumption and sufficiency over scarcity. #Books #BookSky 💙📚 170
Celeste Dean @celestron2000.bsky.social · 03/12/2024Definitely going to look for this one, looks like one I'd enjoy 110

Celeste Dean @celestron2000.bsky.social · 22/11/2024I always bake 2, it lasts all week in my bread box. Mostly it gets eaten by my family of 3, but if not it's great for making croutons, stuffing or panzanella 010
Celeste Dean @celestron2000.bsky.social · 22/11/2024I love mine too although I think my collection is only up to 6 at this point. 010
