We're in the final countdown of T minus 3 days before the launch of the new Nourishing Herbalist site!
Consequently, we're keeping things simple around here this week.
But we have some great things in store for you, including:
This week and next we're busy bees here at the Nourishing Herbalist completing the data migration to our new site. You're going to LOVE the changes!
In the meantime, I wanted to spotlight a wonderful resource that will make your pursuit of vitality an easier (and cheaper!) one.
Maybe you've had your eye on a new ebook or a meal plan service to help with the often hectic chore of planning meals. Well, I'm here to tell you that you might be able to pick these up at a great discount.
In fact, if you shop online for real food and health products on a regular basis, then in all likelihood you could be doing this more affordably. Here's how:
If ever there was a week to toss real food out the window in the name of convenience, this was the week. Each night this past week our family participated in our church's Vacation Bible School (VBS). My girls were active and eager participants, I taught two 3-year-old classes, and my husband served as chief cook and bottle-washer for the remaining two littles who stayed put at home.
And we were a tired bunch as the week drew to a close.
A few years ago when I took a serious interest in alternative medicine, I found myself a bit confused by the terms used to describe herbal preparations. Okay, a lot confused.
Tinctures, tonics, teas, infusions, decoctions, extracts, brews… WHEW! My head was spinning! Are these terms all referring to the same thing? What is the difference between a tincture and a tonic? Which preparation should I use?
If you're asking the same questions then you've come to the right place. Here you'll find everything you need to come to terms with the terms.
One of my favorite things to do in July is pick blueberries. Once every year my mom and I rise with the sun and drive to our favorite u-pick farm hidden away in the foothills of the Appalachia mountains.
There we pick side-by-side for hours, chatting about everything under the sun. It's the one time each year that I can count on having my momma's complete attention without any interruption. No babes a-whining. No toddler requests. Nothing. Just her and me and a plethora of plump blueberries. And that, my friends, is a little taste of heaven.
I love kicking off a new week. It inspires the same feelings in me as receiving a brand new journal. The pages are clean. Untouched.
So here we are... And to get things kicked off on the right foot we've decided to move our real food menu plan posts to Monday, instead of Tuesday. Because, well... that just seems like the right thing to do. Who starts their weekly menus on Tuesday, anyway? Silly us.
