Yes, we love to do yoga moves together at the Jackson house.
Here are a few photos I’ve snapped over the past couple years of the kids trying their best to strike a pose.
We get our yoga poses from Yoga Pretzels, available at www.BarefootBooksIndy.com.
Fun!

This is a pile of Barefoot Books inventory that crowds my already-smallish closet.

There’s no reason for this post whatsoever. So there. Deal. I just wanted to show off my messy closet.
Last night, the hubby and I went on another date. I know. Amazing.
While downtown, we ran into an old friend on Monument Circle at the South Bend Chocolate Co., where she was setting up for a party to celebrate Earth Hour, an effort to get everyone thinking about conservation and what we can do to help the earth. For an hour, people around the world were asked to shut off their lights to make a statement–and to save some energy.
For my friend, Meghan, and her small business Green Piece Indy, it was a success. She was on TV, mentioned in the newspaper, and from the footage, it looked like a lot of people turned out on the Circle, in the rain, to watch the countdown to darkness.
What a fun way to make a difference. (Yay, Green Piece Indy AND IPL, for getting the word out!!!)
Then I thought about it and wondered what we could do in our house to make a difference. The kids already know about conservation and energy-saving efforts–we’re on them all the time about it. They’ve read books about the planet. They even know how about the huge risk facing many animal and plant species.
A lot of the stories they’ve heard come from books I’ve shared with them from my pile of Barefoot Books inventory–the piles that are hogging the space in my closet right now as I have had little time to get out and SELL them.
So, to honor Mother Earth and to share some great titles with you, I give you this: My top 5 favorite Earth-themed Barefoot Books titles.
