The Handmade Mama: What’s Inside

So what is this book all about anyway? My new book, The Handmade Mama, is all about supporting mama during pregnancy and postpartum and baby during their first year. The book is packed with healthy, whole-food recipes, natural skin care products that you can make at home, and simple craft projects. Today, I’m sharing a sneak peek at some of my favorite recipes and projects in the book!
