I think I'll be ordering The Artful Parent by Jean Van't Hul and some Astragalus root capsules (comes in a pack of four). My mom turned me on to this product sold by Twinlab. Love that they sell it in a pack of four so I can give three away and still have one for our natural medicine cabinet.

Recommendations for stocking stuffers:



With fun colors and vibrant pictures, The Berenstain Bears' Big Book of Science and Nature is a very entertaining and informative book for any young child. My three year old loves looking at it and letting me read to her. It's a great overview with simple facts that they can easily grasp. With over two hundred pages, it provides a lot of educational material. It's inspired many crafts in our household and it seems we read it daily.
Emily P. Freeman's wonderful blog Chatting at the Sky has always been uplifting and encouraging. In her newest book A Million Little Ways: Uncover the Art You Were Made to Live, she reveals to us our true identity: Our Creator's Masterpiece. The book is refreshing and enlightening where many books with similar purpose may fall flat. It's beautifully written and you'll find yourself pulling out a highlighter every other page and looking at the world with a new perspective. She has also published Grace for the Good Girl: Letting Go of the Try-Hard Life .

Peppermint and Ginger: Aid Digestion with Healthier Candy Choices this Holiday Season

Feeling bloated and overall stuffed from this onset of delicious Holidays? Instead of offering a bowl full of treats or candies, pick just two types that aid in digestion: Peppermint and Ginger.

Have a bowl full of these ready for guests to nom on.

Peppermint can help relieve tension headaches, nerve-induced nausea, colonic spasms, gas and other stomach pains. The minty herb's oils also freshen breath! Peppermint is both calming and revitalizing, creating a peace among the storm which some of us may feel this holiday season. Find peppermint candies flavored with natural peppermint oil and dyed with carrot and beet juices from your natural health food store or trader joe's (this is where I bought mine).

Ginger can also help overindulgence, gas and nausea. This spicy herb is an anti-inflammatory, improves circulation, and strengthens immunity. Feeling sluggish after all the heavy food? Try ginger to get your digestive enzymes going and give yourself a mood boost. Ginger chews or crystallized ginger are sold at your local grocery store and on amazon.

Also stock your pantry with fennel seeds to make this fennel tea (full post here). Both peppermint and ginger teas can aid this as well! And are beneficial without the sugar! All the herbs combined can be a great digestive-aiding drink. Also they taste delicious!

I buy my herbs for teas and other creative endeavors from Mountain Rose Herbs.
