School, cleaning, and herbs

After taking most of the last month off of school we jumped back in yesterday. We worked out a nice and easy summer schedule that allows for lots of swimming and free time while still getting some of the things we are behind on done.

    • 6:30 Get up, devotions, TTap
    • 7:30 –8:30 Chores and Breakfast prep
    • 8:30 Breakfast
    • 9:00 –11:00 School
    • 11:00 –12:00 Swimming
    • 12:00- 1:00 Lunch and clean up
    • 1:00 – 2:00 Quiet reading/Nap for littles
    • 2:00 – 3:00 Group school time/finish school
    • 3:00 Snack time and more swimming
    • After Daddy gets home it’s all party time! Big Grin

After school I worked on a few projects around the house. One of which was sorting all my herbs and taking inventory. I love herbs but I really didn’t realize just how many I had. Yikes! I took them all out of the outside fridge and moved them to a plastic bin. My fridge is really empty now! I guess I can do a Costco run and have room again! mama's camera 230 mama's camera 231 mama's camera 232

I went through and put herbs that I use for specific things in gallon or 2 gallon bags to make it simple when I need to make something. Everything I need for my super food is in one big bag, healing salve herbs are now all in one bag, and my formula 1 and 2 are also in individual bags. I’m hoping this makes easy when I go to make something. I can just grab a bag and have everything I need all in one place!

I need to finish taking inventory and make a list of all I have so that I don’t need to fish through the entire bin to check if I need some more of something.

I also started gutting my closet. This is going to be another big task, one I will have to work on little by little. My motto for this summer is “SIMPLIFY and ORGANIZE”!!
