Watching, Leading into Wondering

I'm beginning my "Watching" phase of my inquiry. There are 3 that I'm seriously considering, but as I spend more time with each of them, I am beginning to narrow my topics. The difficult part of this is that every project that I've considered is related to education or my classroom in some way. As a wife and mother, sadly, it is difficult to think about yourself and what you enjoy. I guess this is something that I need to practice more often.

Possible Topics:
Essential Oils. Over the years, I have used essential oils in my home for medicinal and household cleaning purposes. I believe in their possibilities and am always amazed to learn of new oils and their uses. The problem is that I know just enough to be dangerous. There is so much more to learn from a chemistry, as well as a daily use standpoint.

Italy. I'll get there someday. I like to read novels based in Italy and definately love the cuisine. The history and architecture are amazing. This would be a great inquiry to plan my travels and learn more about the country.

Household Organization. This one is definately calling my name. This is one that stands in the way of so many things, such as free time, clear mind, and sanity in general. In my searches, I often see the term "wellness living".....I think I'll look at that one too.
