Blogging challenge

So Gracie over at Girl Meets Life has issued a challenge for September and I've decided to take her up on it.  Here is the challenge:

Obviously, my first goal for September is to complete the challenge.  I'm also getting organized in the kitchen as I plan to start The Whole 30 on October 1st and want to have some meals in the freezer for the days when I don't feel like cooking and the right kind of stuff in the pantry to keep from having to do much shopping.

One already completed goal was to get some soaps made.  On Sat Nephew 4 and I made castile soap, then it had to sit in a couple of gallons of filtered water to make liquid soap to use in other projects.  Then today a couple of friends came over and we made lotion bars,

exfoliating scrubs, 

This one is lemon-thyme

healing skin salve,

and a few other things.  Lots of fun and laughter was had and we are all now stocked up on that sort of thing.
I still have some healing and soothing oils infusing for future projects,

These are comfrey, chamomile, plantain, calendula and marshmallow root.

and a shelf full of tincture supplies infusing as well.
