These Won’t Be Back Until August 🌿 + Back Home From Our Road Trip

Published about 2 months ago • 1 min read

Plus we’re finally home from our 2-week road trip and sharing what’s next.

Hello Reader,

We are finally back home after our 2-week road trip, and it feels so good to settle back into garden routines, from-scratch cooking, homemaking, and all the summer projects waiting for us here at home.

Before we jump fully into the next season, I wanted to let you know that we’re having an END OF SEASON SALE in the shop while supplies last.

These seasonal favorites will not return until August, so now is the time to stock up on your favorites for your home apothecary.

Some current favorites in the shop right now include:

• Elderberry Syrup Quick Kit — one of our most popular cold and flu season staples, made with organic elderberries, echinacea, ginger, rose hips, cinnamon, and cayenne. Brewing bag included for easy homemade syrup.

• Chest Congestion Syrup Kit — a favorite for bronchial congestion, seasonal allergies, and colds made with licorice root, cinnamon bark, echinacea, elecampane root, and ginger root.

• Cough & Sore Throat Syrup Kit — a soothing syrup kit with marshmallow root, wild cherry bark, ginger, cinnamon, and more. Even includes the brew bag and directions to make your own at home.

• Nourishing Tea — inspired by traditional NORA tea blends and formulated with nettle, raspberry leaf, oatstraw, and alfalfa. Created with pregnancy, postpartum, and breastfeeding mothers in mind.

Everything is handmade in small batches with families in mind, and once the seasonal inventory is gone, it’s gone until next August.

Shop the sale here before everything sells out!

And if you missed our latest videos while we were traveling, here they are:

• Road trip meal prep and natural travel prep

• Stop Buying These 3 Things | Easy Homemade Swaps to Save Money

• Garden tour + what’s growing right now

• Simple homemade swaps and savings

Now that we’re home again, expect lots more gardening, preserving, homemaking, and from-scratch cooking content coming soon. I have so many ideas I can’t wait to share with you all.

Thank you so much for supporting our family, our small business, and this community.

With you in it,
