Tummy Tea

Oooohhhh It's a doozy...now these are the words that tend to leave my child’s mouth as he leaves the bathroom.

And trust me, not the words I want hear knowing I have to go in after him. 

A little background. Our child has had gastrointestinal issues, including an emergency life flight, since he was 18 months (he’s now 10 years), and we have seen every doctor you could possibly think of for these issues, as well as, all the medications, rubs, exercises or, whatever else "Dr. Google" and your neighbor's second cousin's aunt has told you to try.  

Been there....done that...found tea.

And trust me, this was even a hard lesson for me to swallow as a mom. At some point we have to realize, we know ourselves and our loved ones better than any other forces that be. (Again, let me reiterate, I believe in medicine, but I also believe there are some home remedies that really work, as well).   

Where am I going with this? Probably to a bottle of wine....oops, got off course. 

Tummy issues are all over the place in my house. "I feel like I’m bloated," "I want to throw up," I feel like I’m burning from the inside out," it’s a plethora of gut insanity. Lord, have mercy on me!

So reach for what you probably already have in your home. Ginger, coriander (cilantro in seed version), peppermint, cinnamon, lemon....that chamomile tea you bought for sleep. 

 Sounding vaguely familiar to Carly’s Breathe Easy Tea...there’s a reason for that.

No single “herb” was put on this earth to do just one job. You can mix and match ingredients that suite your family, to aid in combating multiple things at once.  

Yes, I’ve rambled and you’re just waiting for the recipe so here it is.  

(If you want to know how to make this using Pure food grade essential oils, let us know in the comments or send us an email)

You can make this exactly as stated, or you can add it into your favorite chamomile tea like my favorite here.




Enjoy your day, cramp free, cleanup free and hopefully smell free. 

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
