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!

National Coffee Day!!

Something you should know about me, I LOVE my coffee. It gets me going every morning and gives me a pick-me-up when I really need a push to get through the day and I seriously don't function well without it.  So much so, it's kind of become a running joke with my family and friends. In fact,  my best friend, Miss Courtney , would greet me at the door in silence with a cup of coffee if I'd been up late the night before. She gets me. I'm drinking some now as I type this. When I started Intermittent Fasting, I was relieved to find that I didn't have to give up my coffee. I just had to switch to unsweetened and black, which wasn't too big of a deal, because I had completed a sugar detox a couple years before discovering IF. Through the detox, I became somewhat taste-sensitive to sugar where, depending on the food item, a little was almost too much for me anymore. As a result, my coffee was mainly just a little bit of cream anyway. It makes

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

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
