I had great plans for my garden this summer — peas 🫛, runner beans, bell peppers 🫑, potatoes 🥔, tomatoes 🍎-- but apparently the neighborhood bunnies had great plans too...and they were faster.

While the bunnies are now resting from their garden-fresh buffet, I’m grateful they’ve left my herbs alone! We may not be off the grocery-store grid just yet, but I’ve been harvesting just enough for a fresh-picked salad (and a small win) every day.

I find it incredibly grounding.

That's why I created First Five -- to share with you that same simple ease. I created book with the top five remedies that I reach for most often for myself and my family — for sleep, colds, digestion, anxiety, and everyday bruises and cuts that show up out of nowhere. They’re simple, reliable, and don’t come with side effects or plastic blister packs.

If you don't have it yet, it’s just $11 for recipes, dosage tips for kids and adults, and sourcing recommendations with links.

I’ve also heard from a few people that they’d love a kit of ingredients and tools to go with it. If that would help you get started, let me know — I’m considering putting one together for those who’d rather open a box than buy everything themselves. (And for the DIY folks, the guide includes all of the information you need to jump right in!)

In the meantime, I’ll be working on some chicken wire fencing. 😬

I had great plans for my garden this summer — peas 🫛, runner beans, bell peppers 🫑, potatoes 🥔, tomatoes 🍎-- but apparently the neighborhood bunnies had great plans too...and they were faster.

While the bunnies are now resting from their high-protein, high-fiber buffet, I’m grateful they’ve left my herbs alone — and that they couldn't get into the raised bed with romaine, arugula, parsley, and kale. We may not be off the grocery-store grid just yet, but I’ve been harvesting just enough for a fresh-picked salad (and a small win) every day.

Be on the lookout for rose hips! Once the first frost has passed, rose hips are ready to harvest -- and they make a wonderful syrup.

Packed with vitamin C, rose hips are great for cold and flu season, and they're great for health, joint, and skin health. Traditionally, Rose hips are particularly known for their heart-opening and uplifting qualities, viewed as a gentle tonic for emotional healing, particularly for grief, sadness, or feelings of emotional heaviness.

The combination of nurturing both body and spirit makes rose hips a excellent herb for emotional resilience and overall well-being. Rosa canina is the variety in my garden and is considered the best for vitamin C and its mild flavor. Recipe in the comments!

They're here! I have three new herbal tea blends in my new launch -- plus, you can now buy a DIY Elderberry Syrup Kit -- makes twice as much for the same price. :)

The new launch has been a long time coming, but these new blends are worth the wait. Daily Tonic is a nutrient powerhouse, with whole-plant vitamins and minerals that are both excellent in general, and also especially good for strengthening and maintaining bone health; Calm is great for easing tension, soothing, and calming -- great day or night; and Goddess supports hormonal balance, reproductive health, and menstrual cycle relief, while nourishing your body with calming herbs and essential nutrients.

Finally, there are two skin-soothers: a cuticle oil that I LOVE -- formulated with herbs from my garden, and a wild rose hyaluronic acid serum that I use every day.

I've poured my heart into these, and I can't wait for you to try them!

I've been doing some skincare formulation and just added Wild Rose Hyaluronic Acid Serum to my website! Made with a rose hydrosol base, this serum is great for hydration, tightening the skin -- nourishing and supporting repair + regeneration. It feels so good that I've been using it twice a day. :)

I'm hoping to do an overhaul on the website, but this serum has been so good that I wanted to get it out into the world.
