"What a great idea-for top parenting bloggers Christine Koh and Asha Dornfest to create a book, sharing their lessons learned and curating other advice from wise bloggers about how to simplify our lives as parents so we can enjoy everyday moments more. I was particularly inspired by the many unique suggestions about decluttering!" ( Ellen Galinsky, president of Families and Work Institute and author of Mind in the Making ), "A sensible, calming tonic for parents trying to escape the maelstrom of impossible social expectations and unbearable childrearing anxiety." ( Cory Doctorow, author of Little Brother ), "Asha Dornfest and Christine Koh buck the trend toward 'expert' parenting by encouraging parents to trust in their own competence.  Minimalist Parenting  goes further, providing practical tips for managing time, stuff, and perspective." ( Chris Anderson, former editor-in-chief of Wired Magazine and founder of GeekDad ), "In Minimalist Parenting Koh and Dornfest offer keen insights about how to live a less stressful parenting life. This is a practical, comprehensive guidebook that also feels like a good, supportive, and upbeat friend. Harried parents may not have time to read it, which is exactly why they should." ( Katherine Ozment, contributing editor at Boston magazine ), "Covering everything from clutter to playtime to meals, Koh and Dornfest help readers recognize exactly where their time goes. For parents who feel the pressure to partake of every activity and perform to perfection, there are solid ideas here for chilling out." - Library Journal, August 2013, "In parenting, less is turning out to be more.  But how much less?  And which less, exactly?   Minimalist Parenting helps you figure it out in ways that fit your schedule, your style, and-most importantly-your values." ( Katherine Center, author of The Bright Side of Disaster and Everyone Is Beautiful ), "For any parents who feel overwhelmed with clutter in their homes, their schedules, or their brains (that is, just about every parent!), Minimalist Parenting is an invaluable guide to making family life more serene-and more fun." ( Gretchen Rubin, author of Happier at Home and the best-seller The Happiness Project ), "Covering everything from clutter to playtime to meals, Koh and Dornfest help readers recognize exactly where their time goes. For parents who feel the pressure to partake of every activity and perform to perfection, there are solid ideas here for chilling out." – Library Journal, August 2013, "Who says that parenting has to be about buying, watching, fretting, obsessing and scheduling? Well, no one-in those words. But for many folks, that's what it is. Here's a way to say goodbye to the treadmill and howdy to happiness, extra space and free time." ( Lenore Skenazy, author of Free-Range Kids ),  "In Minimalist Parenting, Christine Koh and Asha Dornfest offer readers a much-welcome alternative to the usual parenting advice. With its focus on simplicity, self-knowledge, kindness, and confidence, this book gives parents the tools to help themselves--and, more importantly, trust themselves--as they navigate the often overwhelming terrain of managing family life." ( Andrea J. Buchanan, New York Times bestselling author of The Daring Book for Girls )

    Once Upon a Time Books Inc is an eBay seller newer to me. I was very pleased with this transaction. The books were packaged securely, shipped promptly and are just as described. They have a large inventory and their prices are reasonable. They also reduce orders of three books by twenty five percent. I will be back to shop more at Once Upon a Time Books Inc. Thank you.
