To celebrate Mother's Day, here's one of my mom's favorite authors and our favorite book, Animal Vegetable Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver. This is Part one, focusing a little more on Mother Earth (for Mother's Day) and next week I'll share some more fun ideas and stories inspired from the book.

Animal Vegetable Miracle is a chronicle of one family's journey to eat closer to home, literally, and bringing home to a worldly stage with wisdom about the Food Industry and how local eating, and supporting your community has a ripple effect to protect the planet, eat healthier, and make the world a little brighter of a place.
