Enriching the Soil of Your Life
Have you ever watched a child regress after their shots or know someone’s child who has?
[Sometimes at night I think about things I feel are important to write about in this present cultural climate. Things I wish I knew. Other things I (as an older women, old-style RN, researcher and mother) would want young parents to know so they can be armed with knowledge. One of them is what to do should your child or a friends start to regress after shots. There IS something you can do!]

[I spoke with Tamara Rubin of Lead Safe Mama today and learned a lot about where lead is found. The call was sparked by my post on FB Is Your Crock-Pot Leaching Lead? In her non-argumentative way, she taught us all on that thread a few things. Anyway, you know I love to learn, and so I found out about my mom’s old dishes.]

Having been a child myself in the early 50s, there are classic books I feel should never be neglected in a child’s reading repertoire.
With the exception of a handful I did not list here, these were the stuff of our children’s early homeschool reading aloud experience. They are all still around and available today because they strike a chord in all who read them – parent and child alike.
They set an enriching foundation in the heart and mind of children age 2 through 7 or 8. In my opinion, reading aloud should continue even after a child has mastered reading on his or her own and beyond.
Parent – be honest – you’ve only got so much time for reading aloud with your children! The last thing you want to do is choose a dud. If you are new to this, I hope this reading list makes the choosing easier and provides many delightful reading hours for you and your child! Enjoy!

Do you know some of your breakfast foods are served up with a dose of Roundup?
This post will help you as you choose which brands are clean from glysophates (see the products below).
According to EWG’s Children’s Health Initiative, “Each year, more than 250 million pounds of glyphosate are sprayed on American crops, primarily on “Roundup-ready” corn and soybeans genetically engineered to withstand the herbicide. Some ends up in our breakfast food.
But when it comes to the food we eat, the highest glyphosate levels are not found in products made with GMO corn.”…
