The Rhythm of Family is here (and a give away!)

the rhythm of family
Today is the official release date of Amanda Blake Soule's third book, The Rhythm of Family. It was lovingly created with her partner Steve and four children (now five!) chronicling their family's seasonal discoveries, whether it be in the kitchen or amidst the wide open spaces of their home in Maine. I know I'm not the only one in love with Amanda's gentle, thoughtful ways. She has inspired a new generation of families to open their eyes and heart to nature based learning and living... and pioneered an online community that spreads far and wide. Yes, Amanda is a very special woman, and I was honored (in the deepest sense of the word) when she invited me to contribute my Nature Stamps to this new book. I first experimented with pod printing exactly, I mean to the day, two years ago. I blogged about it here. And then experimented some more right here. By the time Amanda contacted me, I was deep in nature printing mode and she thought it would translate beautifully to the book she was working on. And here it is!
nature stamps
See those red hearts? They are the secret print of a walnut half. Living surrounded by black walnut trees, it was inevitable that we discover their magic centers. When I sent Amanda the printing samples for the book, I also gathered together a kit of pods and shells for the Soule children to explore some nature stamping on their own.
stamping
I was thinking more in terms of giving the kids an activity during Amanda's full day, then adding to the book... but I have been pleasantly surprised to see poppy prints peeking out from several other projects throughout the pages.
books
Amanda sent me an advanced copy, and I've read it from cover to cover. It is truly my favorite of all three of her wonderful books. The photography is stunning and some of her very best. The activities and recipes are ALL ones that my family will enjoy. The essays and thoughts shared by both Steve and Amanda are wise, thought provoking and beautiful. I know that living in a similar region to the Soule family makes this kind of seasonal living very accessible to us, but The Rhythm of Family will inspire you to live more connected to the earth and your family where ever you may call home. And of course, Amanda didn't send just one copy... she sent two. She knows just how much I love giving away books! Thank you Amanda, Steve and all of the sweet Soule clan! Please leave a comment in this post between now and Thursday 8pm EST. I'll select a random winner and announce it on Friday. Don't forget to leave a trail back to you (i.e. email address, blog link, etc.). Yesterday, I shared how much we love picking blueberries and peaches in early August, I'd love to hear how you celebrate this time of year in your part of the world.

Comments are now closed. Thanks so much for joining in! 
And the winner is:

I would LOVE a copy of this book! It looks beautiful. I have her first book and I treasure it. We enjoy our evening rains here in the SW. It's monsoon season and we love watching the storms roll in. Big dark clouds in an endless blue sky. It's beautiful.Thanks!

    We're looking forward to the county fair, which is always in mid August. We'll continue to visit the beach--the water is at its warmest in August and September. But in the very early mornings, sometimes, you catch a whiff of fall, and as much as I love summer it won't be long before I'm thinking apple crisp & football. I, too, enjoy living somewhere with seasons, although...I could do without single-digit temps and an iced-in driveway when that rolls around!!

    I'm right along with you with the Soule love. I don't even have a family and she inspires me (as do you). I'm also right along with you with the love of picking blue berries. I picked them as a child with my Papa, and I never did come to like the taste of them. I'm the perfect picker because I won't eat a single berry picked! I always give them away.

    I have been patiently waiting for this book. Right now it is extremely hot and humid where we live, so we are looking forward to fall so we can spend more time outdoors. It really is hard to enjoy it right now!

    Could there be anything more beautiful than a family seated together at a table full of pods, leaves, and seeds to stamp and two bowls of fresh, wild blueberries to savour? Like your blog, the book would be further inspiration for more days like this. Thanks!

    This does look like an inspiring book! We just did some blueberry (and there were still some raspberries too) picking at our local farm. I love berry picking with the kids! Last weekend, we went to visit an old copper mine in the region (southern Quebec). That was quite an adventure!

    we would love to have a copy of that book. when each berry comes into season here were celebrate by putting up lots of berries in preserves, conserves, and jams because we all love bread and jam so much here. but even better than the preserves is eating our fill of fresh fruit everyday, nothing sweeter than little kids saying 'it's blueberry week all week long!'. Love it!

    This is the 2nd time I've heard about this book, the 1st being a from someone who said she thought I would enjoy it! Our children are all in their teens but there is still time to make memories before they are out on their own. In the past we did more things together but now they are transitioning to adulthood. BUT we can still continue to make new memories!! (and I'm looking for new ideas....)

    Thank you for the giveaway!

    Do you think you could include me in the draw, though? I'd love to give it to my best friend as a present.

    You ask about what are we doing in this period of the year so...for me it's the second month of my first work of ever (exept for babysitting ^-^). But I also find time for some dyeing experiment with plants, for wolk in the wood looking for berries and interesting things to harvest and I also find some times for preparing the house for a incoming member of my family: an hedgehog, that will arrive in september.

    Love this time of year! I celebrate by always going out to our fave wild blueberry picking spot, on top of a beautiful mountain here in NH. Then there is all the canning, which is a such a joy (maybe not the hot kitchen part) to have yummy food all winter! Hope to win, thanks for the chance!

We've been spending our time discovering all of the plants that are growing, but mostly we spend time gathered around the butterfly bush or on the patio watching the deer munch on the pears that have fallen to the ground. Okay so the groundhogs love the pears, too...and a flock of geese pass through at least once a week. You'd never know we live in the city!

    I love everything about yours and Amanda's blogs, although I live in a bit the opposite environment of hers, small, crowded and with lots of planned nature in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Usually I do not try giveways on your blogs over the ocean because I know shipping might be complicated, but my mom just announced she will visit her brother in Chicago in October, so I would looooove to get a copy through your giveway, but if this is not happening, then my mom can bring a copy herself for me.

    I adore Amanda and have been following her blog for a couple of years now. I'd love to get my hands on the new book!

    August in eastern PA is all about fresh corn with dinner every night, juicy tomatoes, big fat peaches, deeply-hued blueberries and ripe blackberries - all of which are available from the various farms nearby! I barely set foot in a regular grocery store during these summer months and I love that!

    So much that we look forward to this time of year - summer is short in Atlantic Canada and jam packed. We look forward to exploring our beaches, visits with friends on vacations, harvesting from our friends garden (purple beans and carrots were definitely the highlights), eating fresh corn, roasting marshmallows over a bonfire, reading blueberries for sal (hope to pick some as well), lots of time in the country with the cousins in PEI, and visiting the County Exhibition that my family had participated in for years

    We love to eat breakfast or dinner outdoors, now that the weather is getting cooler and we can enjoy the cricket songs.

    I would so love to win this book! And I never thought of using plants or pods for stamping - hmm, need to have a look in the garden and see if there is something I could use...

    I live in Germany and normally around this time of the year we are in full summer mode, going swimming, eating icecream and such, but this year, it's a rather cold and rainy summer...

    Anyway, thanks a lot for the chance of winning this book!

    Fine

    In TN, it is still very hot and humid. We garden in the early morning (brought in two wash tubs of tomatoes this morning) and do a fair amount of canning or preserving for leaner times.
    I'd love to flip through the new book.

    in the desert of the wild west, we are enjoying mesquite and cactus fruit and doing our best not to melt into 115 degree days.

    How sweet of you to offer this giveaway!

    Now, in New York, I've been celebrating August as a month of transitions - preparing to move, to begin school, to recollect my thoughts and life to where I want them to be - and, of course, enjoying as much time outside as possible!

    We love being able to eat meals/snacks outside! It's one of my favorite parts of summer. Thanks for the giveaway. The book looks amazing.

    I am already seriously in love with this book. I've read her other two books from front to back so I know I'm going to love this one as well.

    This book looks wonderful and I'd love the chance to win it! This time of year is spent figuring out the new year of homeschooling. I do treasure it, bc at this point I'm excited to delve in and experience all the new learning with my girls. Nature and experiencing the seasons enriches all of that too.
