Doing School and It Doesn't Even Feel Like It

I am a Virgo. I like order in my house. I was so excited when Mr. W gave me a fancy label maker. I've had a the desire to purge my spice rack and re-do the spices that I had in it. My spice rack I've had for a long, long time. I made a list with the help of Vivian of all the spices I actually used.  I made another list of the spices in my cabinet that I use that were not in my spice rack. Vivian and I visited local health food store and purchased in bulk the spices we needed.  We came home and with her help dumped all spices, washed all the bottles and refilled them with the new spices we purchased.

In this moment all is well in my kitchen.  I love my new organized spice rack. Vivian enjoyed helping me. It was a handwriting lesson. Spelling lesson. A life lesson of being thrifty. Why spend money on over priced spices at the grocery store when you can go to the health food store and buy in bulk. Most of the spices at I purchased were organic. Next I tackle my pantry!

Yoga & Meditation: Never too Young to Learn

Through a funny introduction I met a wonderful friend. We share many interests and beliefs about the world around us. She had the fabulous idea to start a weekly yoga and meditation group for home schoolers in our area. Her mom, Michelle is a yoga instructor. She has fabulous pictures of cats doing the various yoga poses each Friday for the kids to follow along. Class is about an hour. We end with five minutes of meditation. My girls love the class, I do too. I am so glad that my girls have this fabulous class. I didn't take a yoga class until I was in my 30's!
