So much of our home has been thrifted, passed down, found at antique stores, or collected little by little over the years. Different woods, old pieces, mismatched treasures and things with stories to tell. Give me a home that feels lived in, a little nostalgic and maybe just a touch of Practical Magic. ✨ #PracticalMagic #CollectedHome #VintageHome #CottageStyle #ThriftedHome

This is the bag I grab anytime we’re traveling or going to be farther from home. It’s basically my little mobile medicine cabinet filled with herbal remedies, holistic favorites, supplements, AND the regular first aid essentials because this mama likes to be prepared. 🌿🩹 I’ve linked all of the products I keep in my bag in one easy place for you to shop! You can find everything through the link in my bio. Not medical advice, just sharing what our family personally keeps on hand and uses. Always do your own research and choose what works best for your family. #CrunchyMom #HolisticLiving #HerbalRemedies #NaturalMedicine #HomeApothecary

🌿 TODDLER HERBAL TEA 🌿 This is one of the first things I reach for when cold symptoms start moving through our house. It’s warm, comforting, made with toddler friendly herbs, and Mama can drink it too. ☕️🤎 For a 32 oz batch: 🌼 2 Tbsp dried chamomile 🌿 2 Tbsp dried lemon balm leaf 💧 32 oz hot water 🍯 Honey to taste Add the herbs to your jar, pour over 32 oz of hot water, cover and steep for 10 to 15 minutes, then strain well. For my toddler: I dilute the stronger brew 1:1. I use 3 oz of the brewed tea + 3 oz water, which also helps bring it down to a comfortable drinking temperature. Then I add a little honey to taste. 🍯 Chamomile is traditionally used as a gentle, soothing herb, while lemon balm is a calming herb that may provide some extra comfort when you’re feeling under the weather. Honey can also help soothe coughs and irritated throats. Mama can enjoy the stronger brew as is! 🌿 Save this one for cold season and follow along for more herbal recipes, education, and simple ways to build your home apothecary. 🤎 For educational purposes only, not medical advice. Check with your child’s healthcare provider before introducing new herbs. Honey is only for children 12 months and older. #HerbalRemedies #ToddlerWellness #HomeApothecary #HerbalismForBeginners #NaturalMama
