nature+nurture kidpreneurs are being represented at Buckeye Elementary’s Santa Shop today. We were invited after seeing the n+n maker’s market at Beech Creek Botanical Gardens and Nature Preserve and kids had leftovers so everything here is $5 and under and all proceeds are going to the little makers! We have Ellie’s local honey, gingerbread sugar scrub, Rilla’s natural lip balm from locally foraged plants and herbs, pressed flower keychains, pinch pots, jewelry, ornaments - including hand drawn, Lavender’s bath bombs…(Hattie, Bianca, Leo, who am I missing?) Elizabeth merchandised the table herself, and is busy representing the heart behind the products to go home as special gifts to family members. Santa Shops are such fun ways to allow our kids to shop and surprise loved ones. I know I always love getting my gifts! But, shhh, I’d much rather get something homemade from a local little maker than cheap China junk that I have to pretend I love 😅. Thank you Buckeye PTO for having a bigger vision! The kids thank you!

Our honey “Ellie D’s Bees” is available at Reach for the Stars in Salem. You help support my 12 year old daughter, Ellie’s dreams when you buy some honey from her. (Learning Bee Keeping has been a mother daughter experience that’s for sure. ) She’s learned a real skill & how to earn money right from our own back yard. Thanks bees & Columbiana Mahoning County Beekeeper’s Association. She has 2 & 12 ounce bottles available. It’s delicious! 🐝🍯

“Tis the season for icky illnesses. Did you know pine needles are right up there with medicinal mushrooms and other glorified superfoods. They have up to five times the amount of Vitamin C as an orange and contain enormous amounts of Vitamin A and other potent antioxidants. In addition, the natural terpenes in pine needles lend to their antibacterial, anti-microbial, and anti-inflammatory capabilities. These features alone also make this evergreen herb excellent for treating viruses, but honestly… that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

Pine needles are also high in a natural Suramin called Shikimic Acid. Shikimic has anti-platelet-aggregative properties, which can help reduce blood platelet aggregation. In short, this can help prevent respiratory complications during infection. It’s also a potent antiviral and has shown to be competitive with certain influenza medications like Tamiflu. Likewise, pine needle tincture is effective against colds and coughs and can even help loosen chest congestion.

Shikimic and other valuable phytochemicals in pine needles like Eugenol, Linalool, and Terpineol can help bind to and inhibit spike proteins present in some RNA and DNA viruses through a known process as molecular docking. Pine needles also contain many beneficial constituents like quercetin and chlorophyll, commonly used by herbalists to help blood circulation and even treat anemia.”

You can get white pine tincture & spruce top salve at Reach for the STARS in Salem, OH.

But my goodness they are so stinking cute.

Real talk though, I've been working on the same embroidery piece for over a year. I'm also finally starting the temperature blankets for the children that I always said I'd make 😅

P.S I pray one day I'm a super busy active grandma so I may not have the time then either.
