cold remedy

I love natural, home remedies. When I can solve a problem without rushing to the drug store or doctor, it just feels good. This recipe was passed on to me by my friend and neighbor when I was complaining of a cold and the need for a non-pharmeceutical, holistic soother. It is wonderful, and hits the spot every time. When I have a cold, which I do right now, I drink nothing else. This is a perfect recipe to have in your arsenal for these ever germy, sniffly winter months.

I have to admit I lost the actual recipe, and use a different mix of clove and star anise each time. So this recipe is just a list of estimates, but it comes out lovely each time.

Cold Remedy Tea
6 cloves
2 star anise
1 sliver of ginger
1 cinnamon stick
2 cups of water
2 slices of lemon
Raw honey
Put the cloves, star anise, cinnamon stick, ginger and one slice of lemon in a small pot with the 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Pour into your cup through a strainer to weed out all the bits. Drink it nice and hot with honey and a slice of lemon. If is too strong, you can just add a bit more boiling water.

When I was challenged with my own feelings while parenting, I started creating activities that could help kids and parents open up about their emotions. It was so therapeutic and helpful, so I put my feelings activities together into a book. I created the book that I wanted for my own parenting, and I am so thrilled to share it with you.
Vanilla Blueberry Yogurt Pops. I made this recipe this week after posting it in my newsletter and it was so fresh and yummy, so sharing it here! I used to make these yogurt pops all of the time for my son and he would eat them for breakfast. If blueberries are not in season use frozen wild blueberries or whatever frozen fruit you like. They are really easy to make and you can even add some oats if you want to make them even more nutritious for breakfast. ⁠
Try Flower Breathing 🌸 In my last reel, I showed how to make these cardboard Lavender scented flowers. The "pistol" is scented with lavender oil which is a very calming and make it fun. The act of breathing in and out, calms the nervous system and get kids introduced to breath work. Flip through the images and use it as a guide plus one of the images is instructions that you can screen shot. 🌸⁠
