Don’t Wait to be Winter Well

We don’t flu in my house.  We just don’t. 

Now I’m not saying no one in my house ever gets the flu, but I am saying, we don’t give it much of a chance to break in.

It’s the season...the season of bonfires, cold nights, dreary wet days and the flu, like you, is looking for a warm place to set up shop.  

No, I’m not a medical professional. I’m a mom-professional, and as I said in my previous blog, I know all about "the yuck."  

What I didn’t state was that Elderberry Syrup is a staple in my home.  


What is this syrup I speak of? It’s a mixture of a lot of nature’s goodness, boiled into a wonderful immunity booster.  

I’m sure the majority of the population could ask grandma about it and she would say she grew up on it, as did her kids.  And most adults who grew up in those generations didn’t have the “sick” days we have now.  

So besides our daily dose of NingXia (you can read about that on Distillery 9), from about October through major allergy season, we make Elderberry Syrup part of our morning daily routine too. 

Here’s a glimpse into ours:
Organic elderberry’s (I use these)
Organic local honey
Organic oranges and Lemons
Cinnamon 
Clove 
Ginger


This is a pretty basic, everyone-uses-it recipe, but I am an Essential Oil fanatic and believer in their added health benefits. 

Once my batches are cool, I add the Young Living Vitality line of the last 5 ingredients. (Don't just add any old oil. The essential oils used in my recipe are FDA approved for ingestion and the only ones I would recommend as others could/will make you very sick).


So like I said we don’t flu. At least not like most people.  

Why not take control of you and your family's health with a little cooking?  


Make it a family cooking session, especially if you have little ones. They always seem to enjoy making a mess in the kitchen and having something to show for it in the end. 

If you’d like more information including a recipe please comment or send us a message.  We would love to hear from you.  

I’ll be back soon!

Social Media Lies

No, contrary to what you see on social media, my life isn't all fun times with the kiddo and date nights with the husband. I don't wear makeup and heels just to be around the house, although I am sure my husband wouldn't mind if I did.  I also don't plan every waking moment that my child is awake and not in school to be filled with outings to Chuck E. Cheese, ice skating or concerts.  Now, I know my child would be happy if I did, but that is just not realistic.                           I love sharing photos with friends and family and I want them to look nice.  I really am not sure why though.  I will totally and happily show up to your house in my most comfortable pair of sweatpants, ratty sweatshirt, no makeup and hair doing something, looking like Tom Hanks in the middle of Castaway, and I won't have a second thought about it.   And I am not alone in this dilemma of social media etiquette.  If that's what you want to call it.  I have scrolled thro

Cough Tea

It’s that time of year.  The time that, to me, is worse than spring. The time that brings the fall cough!  You know the one. The one that never really goes away and you’ve had so long you’re not sure when it first appeared. It’s the same one that you don’t want to go to the doctor for because you’re positive it’s just something that has blown about with the change of seasons.  I like to call it the “allergy faker.”  Like Carly with her constant sinus fight, I have the constant cough fight. And although I always win, the shorter I have to deal with it the better.   I also have to think about the fact that I have a child and he and his friends are in and out constantly, and I’d really prefer they not share anything with me. Lord knows no parent wants to start that viscous circle of sick.  So, that’s where my favorite cough-away recipe comes in. It’s delicious, aids sleep and it’s for adults only!  Wellness Tea  and Whiskey, two new best friends.   Th

Covid-19: A Message From A Front Line Health Care Worker

Hello friends, I hope this message finds you well.  Through out the recent weeks, and the onslaught of the Covid-19 pandemic, I have been struggling on what to say.  I have been trying to keep a positive outlook, telling myself that we'll be okay. That everything will go back to normal eventually, but as we've seen, so much changes from day to day that it's hard to know what the future holds right now. It's scary. It can be overwhelming. We've never seen anything like this. Some of us are in major hotspots and some, thankfully, are in more sheltered pockets. The reality of the situation is that we are all affected. I am writing this from my home office, a place that I have spent much much more time in recently, especially in the wake of the governor of Colorado, Jared Polis' stay-at-home orders. Being that I am a member of the media, I have been deemed "essential." Like many of us, I have special documentation from Washington, D.C. that
