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!

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...

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 ...
