Homeschool Room Tour 2016 | How To Set Up Your School Room

Hey Mocha Family,

I hope you enjoy touring our homeschool room for 2016/2017!

We have renewed our commitment to HOME schooling, and I think this new location gives the perfect vibe for a family striving to learn together. There's nothing wrong with setting up a dedicated school room, but for me, I needed to make the physical change.

I am looking forward to pulling my little ones into my lap again. I don't want to neglect my number one asset in educating my kids. I'm still "Mom".

Be blessed!

I kept everything in a pretty box, dubbed the hair bin . I was really frustrated at not b

For example, popular YouTuber Kim , of KimmayTube tested the ph of Bronner's Castille Soap and found it to be much higher than the recommended range for hair (between 4 and 5). You can watch her explain her findings. She also did an informative series fraught with good visuals on understanding the effects of ph on hair. That said, I've been using diluted castille soap successfully for YEARS, but I've never tried Bronner's Castille Soap. I had a bottle of Trader Joe's Castille Soap . Turns out Trader Joe's formula includes Aloe Vera --which has an acidic ph---probably bringing down the overall ph of the product--perhaps balancing it for hair. The manufacturer recommends it's use as a shampoo right on the bottle's label. I did not get a chance to personally test the ph of my bottle, because by the time I noticed Aloe as an ingredient of my castille soap, the bottle was empty
