A Day in the Life of a Mom-Herbalism Student

Membership to this site is free. The ability to register yourself is an "upcoming feature". I have no date of when they expect it to be available. For now, just send me a message or comment on a post that you would like to be a member and I'll send you an invite. The feature does work on the more expensive packages but this is the only feature on those packages I'm using and probably plan to use. The next one up opens up the ability for an online store. I'm not selling anything unless I decide to sell books here once I start writing.

Last day of the school week and that clock just keeps on ticking! This morning I'm updating 2 more herbarium entries for class. I need to discuss one of them in the discussion board and I figured I'll update these 2 and figure out which I want to talk about. My daughter slept in and has not had her breakfast yet. I have not been able to eat because they both want cuddles. I have attended one lecture and the other one starts soon. I'm going to get the post for herbs done today so it will be early. My instructor actually mentioned the late posts which made me happy. We are supposed to comment on people's posts as part of our grade but yesterday was day 6 and only 3 of us had posted. I got my comments done but they really are not leaving any room to actually discuss the topics shared. The kids seem to be in a good mood today despite not eating correctly. My son didn't finish because my daughter wasn't there and she is not ready to eat yet. I have a feeling her breakfast is going to go uneaten. I have a lot to do today so I'm going to leave this here.

The list of herbs for discussion here which you can help me choose the order of are ginger, garlic, elecampane, California poppy, white willow bark, cramp bark, lavender, St. John's wort, peppermint and valerian.

I'm thinking the more common things like garlic, ginger, lavender and valerian first but any picks by your guys will help that decision. Have a great day!

I am currently a student at American College of Healthcare Sciences earning my Masters of Science degree in Herbal Medicine. This blog is my journey of juggling mom-life with student life. My husband is a truck driver so I'm essentially a single mom all but 3 days a month. It's a challenge but we will get through this. I complete this degree on 18 December 2019 and will take one additional semester and then be done for a while. I'm looking for funding for that final semester so I may be done at the end of December if I can't find any. I plan to write books and continue here on my blog after I complete school. My children need more attention from their mommy but I can't wait on getting this education done. I will do what I must for now.
