We love our Mindful Heart time! It is the best curriculum! Today we learned about the parts of government. Guard had a wonderful making the government building.
Guards new favorite place to read is the couch in the 'homeschool hall'. It's his spot. And the lamp is always on. Awesome! Anywhere he wants to read is good with me. Luckily he's a great reader and loves it. And he's fast! Often I question him on what he read and he can summarize well. Right now his favorite books are Adventurers Wanted and Virginia Mysteries.
We have been buying lettuce from Snuck Farms in Pleasant Grove for a few years now. We love it, but the cost was getting to be a bit much with crazy inflation, plus we were having a difficult time keeping up with it. We always had 3-4 bags in our garage fridge.
I had the crazy idea of growing our own lettuce in our basement. Greg is always so wonderful to indulge my nutty ideas. We researched shelves and grow lights on Amazon, bought seeds from a company in Salt Lake, and we were good to go. Enoch built my shelf and installed the lights. Greg helped plant the seeds. We watered them well and left in the basement under their lights.
A week later, we had lettuce and spinach sprouts! They are tiny, but they are there! Can't wait to see what happens with these teeny plants. In a few months, we will get our seeds going for our garden. Hopefully I can develop a green thumb and put this indoor garden to good use!
