Life As A Conscious Mom

Today’s societies view so many valuable plants as pesky weeds and Plantain is at the top of the list. I’m not talking about Plantains, the cousin of the banana, I’m talking about the herbaceous plant that can be found all over the world in backyards, meadows, lawns and commonly along any roadside.

Reading has always played big part in our life with Caidin. We started reading to Caidin when he was a month old. My husband Chuck would even read the sports section to Caidin with a sing-song voice. Whether that’s why Caidin is a strong reader and has such a love of reading, it’s hard to…
