On the 9th day of advent I received

A gorgeous book called Like Mother Like Daughter.

I love this little book of anedotes and phrases including things like

"The tie which links mother and child is of such pure and immaculate strength as to be never violated."  Washington Irving

and

Oh high is the price of parenthood and daughters may cost you double.
You dare not firget, as you thought you could, that youth is a plague and a trouble."  Phyllis McGinley


Beautiful book with stunning photos of animal parents :) by David Baird

Thanks Hannah  love it
