A Day in the Life of a Mom-Herbalism Student

This daily blog is about the struggles of juggling motherhood with being a full-time student.  I also share information each day on herbs that I've learned along this journey.  The herbs I am currently discussing are all things I received in my lab kits for class, meaning I get to actually work with them and pass on first-hand knowledge. While my herbariums are listed for free membership, I provide four fields from them in my blog: Constituents (the active ingredients of the herbs), the therapeutic actions (Examples are expectorant and stimulant), indications (colds, skin rashes, emphysema, etc), and safety information. More information can be found in the herbariums but these are the most important educational fields.

Membership to this site is free.

I did NOT get much done yesterday.  The kids both fell asleep so I jumped in the shower to clear my head and be ready to absorb knowledge and by the time I finished my lunch when I got out, my son was awake again.  He had a very short nap. They were both up early this morning as well but I expect naps again.  They slept through the night which was a wonderful change. I, on the other hand, woke up twice to go to the bathroom...  My new filter to my water system finally got here so I'm now drinking more water to see if it helps my health. The bathroom was my friend yesterday...  LOL  We have already had breakfast. Now if I could get my son to stay out of the laundry room and my daughter out of all the rooms they are not allowed in.   I spend my days herding cats, I mean kids.  My cats are easier to herd.  LOL  I have so far, only opened the folder that contains the files I need to read but that's pretty good when I look at the clock in comparison to yesterday.  I hope to get through 3 studies today.  That's not that much to ask for. Let's see how well this goes!  The one I was reading yesterday has a ton of great information on ebola in children.  Interestingly, the number of cases in kids was remarkably low in that 2014 outbreak.  I'm off to get to work on that paper.  The sooner I make good progress, the sonner I can get back to writing about herbs!  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.  I plan to write books and continue here on my blog after I complete school.

    Rather than using the Herbal Lists page for some things, let me try this and see what everyone thinks.
