This week I have really felt the spring arrive! I knew immediately when I stepped outside and took a breath in. With that inhale I could taste the earth coming back to life. The sound of the birds singing melodies to one another and the scent of green that is springing up all around.

When I look at my life and when it is happiest, most grounded and content, it’s when I am living in harmony with nature. Connecting with nature and the plants is such an essential part of me feeling whole.

SHINE your light. BE the light. KNOW with every drop of your being, your radiance and power to shine. May this meditation reset you, bring you rejuvenation, and calm.

Honey Coconut Lip Butter! That’s right! Can you even handle how amazing that sounds?! Well I can assure you that it tastes even better on your lips than you’d imagine and it’s hard not to eat it right out of the tin!

Elder is an amazing plant. If you don't know a whole lot about it, read on! Elderflower was historically used to reduce inflammation and as an antiseptic.

We love chai in this house! My two year old even asks for it..... every. single. day. My sister-in-law makes fun, saying we’re hipsters because our toddler sips chai all of the time.

If you don't want to hear me talk about some of the barbaric roots of this holiday and would just like this lovely recipe click here to pass my spiel.

I love this time of the year. Nature is blooming into life and rebirthing. As the forests blossom so does this giddy feeling inside me that comes out at this time of the year.

It has been a challenging week because my little guy is teething like crazy. He typically doesn't seem to react to his teeth coming in which I believe is from the Baltic Amber necklace he's worn since he was three months old.

Stellaria media, aka Chickweed or as some would call it, Starwort. It is a wonderfully mineral rich weedy plant, growing everywhere and anywhere.
