i've told a few of you out there about my newest obsession-----this apothecary circle being offered by laura emily. i signed up early in august and can't wait until the class begins in december.
want to know more? here's some info taken directly from laura emily::
This yearlong course has one goal- to uncover the healer within you by
building your home apothecary, and to gain the knowledge &
confidence to use it.
The Apothecary Circle isn't for the
casual organic herbal loving lass, although she might love joining in as
well! This yearlong course is designed for the woman who wants to step
into the role of being a healer within her home and community. It is
designed for the woman who wants to return to earth medicine, holistic
living, and abundant health.
Over the past few years women have asked me:
"What do you have that I can use for ear aches?"
"Is there a way to tone down pms-ing?"
"Massive headache. Suggestions?"
and on and on it went. I'm happy and thrilled to give answers, craft up herbal goodies to soothe and heal. That is what I do.
but.
As
women, we’re all part of a line of healers. Nurturing our babes,
nourishing our love ones, nursing back to health one of our own when
they battle the flu or an ear ache. Our family instinctively turns to us
for healing- and we instinctively respond. Being a healer is rooted
deep within our bones. Somewhere along the way we gave modern medicine a
large slice of our role, complete with side effects, damaging and
disease ridden health risks, numbing our bodies and robbing our wallets.
You know what my favorite part about earth medicine is? The risks are
few, the results are abundant, and it is so freaking cheap when we learn
the tools ourselves.
Good Earth Living will remain- and I am
happy and blessed to craft up healing goods to extend a thin red ribbon
from my heart to yours. But now I’m happy to offer a yearlong
certification course so you, love, can take up that role of being the
healer of your body & home with confidence.

nature is insane
(all above photos taken by gray at parlee farms in tyngsboro, MA)
nature is completely insane. and awesome. insanely awesome.
every year at this time, i walk around with eyes wide open, unable to fully grasp how nature can be so freaking...cool. i feel so blessed to live in new england, soon to be knee-deep in red leaves with the smell of campfires all around me. the end.

rosemary tincture
so what is a tincture, you ask? well, simply put, it is a blend of an herb's essential oils in a suspension of alcohol. rosemary tinctures have lots of benefits, the most important being the ability to not only ward off colds, but to prevent infections. with cold and flu season right around the corner (and the runny noses are already here in gilbertland), i decided to create a rosemary tincture today and store it away for a sniffly day. a tincture takes about 6-8 weeks to become amazeballz. i stored mine is a dark, dry closet in my basement while it does its magic.
here's what i needed:
* 1/2 cup rosemary leaves
*2 cups vodka
*mason jar
here's what i did::
1. gathered a whole bunch of organic rosemary from my yard. took it in, washed and dried it. removed all the leaves from the stems and measured out a rough 1/2 cup.
2. poured 2 cups of vodka into a mason jar.
3. added the rosemary leaves to the vodka.
4. put on the lid and rid away for another day! (about 6-8 weeks)
here's a great site with more information about the benefits of rosemary and the appropriate doseages for rosemary tinctures.
next, i'm going to experiment with making homemade vanilla extract!

kiss?!?!?!??!
lulu is trying to take a nap as she leisurely flips through "pop star!" magazine (it's like teen bop for you 80's girls). she says "mom, if your husband had braces on his teeth, would you still marry him?" and i said "yeah". and then she followed it up in a horrified voice with "AND KISS?!?!?!?!?!"

autumn
"Autumn is the eternal corrective. It is ripeness and
color and a time of maturity; but it is also breadth, and depth, and
distance. What man can stand with autumn on a hilltop and fail to see
the span of his world and the meaning of the rolling hills that reach to
the far horizon?"

my week ahead, in a nutshell
trying to figure out how to creatively use all the awesome veggies we get every week...
trying to get back on track and eat meals that look more like this every day...
navigating meltdowns left and right as everyone adjusts to new schedules...
still waging my war against fruit flies....this the season, right? i swear by my apple-cider-vinegar-paper-cone-in-a-grateful-dead-cup method. i do the catch and release outside technique. they are my ultimate arch nemeses!
trying to tuck love in where i can. i'm having a tough time letting go of my babies this year!
