As my world shifts daily, I wonder how does every mother cope with the changes in her life, body, and series of events in the world? How can she keep from being bored or overwhelmed with priorities and daily expectations? The advice from my mother to my spiritual mothers and sisters was made plain, to simply pray and find something to do. So, that’s what I did. At first, I wasn’t sure how because I didn’t know where to start. But then I discovered the little engine that could within me and found myself falling deep into YouTube’s vortex of DIY videos. Once I caught on to my niche, I blossomed into the mama that can. I’d realized that there were other talents hidden and waiting to be developed.

My first project? SPROUTING IN JARS.

I didn’t know I had a green thumb until having to be quarantined due to the Coronavirus pandemic. Seeing toilet paper, matches, and water drastically fly off the shelves had me go into survival mode. Thinking, if food might be next, then I must tap into how I can grow my own. It needed it to be easy, fresh, nutritious, but most of all cost-effective. It was all the reason to solidify my decision to become a master at sprouting. I discussed the plan with my husband, he was down, and I got to it. It had taken me five times to get it right! I will tell you this, YOU MUST have the patience when it comes to growing anything if you have never done it before because on the first day, I wanted to give it up.

During the processes of sprouting, I was taught many valuable lessons. In part two of “House’s Order, Sprout!” I will dive into the depth of my experiences with growing my own food, and how I managed to execute this project. It’ll be fun, stay tuned!
