Passion equals Purpose

I have always been a 'passionate' person.
I'm passionate about 'every day life'.
Each day brings new 'treasures' to be enjoyed!
 'Making Memories' is our family motto.
And we certainly make the memories around here!

My most prized 'treasure' in life is my family.
 There are so many words to describe this 'crew'!
Funny, creative, loving, rowdy, unique.
Visit our About Us page to meet them.

 The 'Love' of my life.
 This is a pic of 'hubby' taken when we were camping.
He is doing his favorite thing: Cooking!
He is the best cook and baker there is.  No kidding.
I cook out of 'necessity'.  He cooks with passion!
You can visit  our Mom's Country Kitchen page
to see the kind of 'food-prep' I enjoy doing.
Heritage Home~Place Shoppe
We absolutely love our booth space in a local business called
the Iron Horse Primitives.
There are over 20 vendors called the Country Cottage Chics
that sell their treasures!  We love being a part of this group of
creative people.  Visit our Heritage Home~Place Shoppe page.
We will open an online Etsy shop in January 2014!

Workshops/Classes
 We host a monthly gathering of like-minded women who are eager
to learn about health and wellness issues.  We have been gathering
since 2005.  It has been a fun and rewarding few years.
Visit our Health and Wellness page.  If you live locally,
we invite you to join us!

I'm a true 'Junker' at Heart!
If it's rusty, banged-up, chipped...I love it!
I am passionate about taking old (good) junk and re-creating
a piece of art for indoor and outdoor decor.
Today's junk is a memory of someone's treasure from the past.
In my way of thinking it should 'live on' making new memories!

Passionately Pink!
This is my daughter, Rebekah.  She got this tattoo in honor of her
grand-mother (my mother) who has been 'Fighting Like a Girl'
for almost three years.  We are passionately pink for the cause.
We have dedicated 100% our business to the cause of raising funds to 'gift'
women who are going through breast cancer treatment.
Read our Passionately Pink page to see how you can be a part 
of this passion.

The heart of human excellence often begins to beat when you discover a pursuit that absorbs you, frees you, challenges you, and gives you a sense of meaning, joy and passion.

As you can see, I am a woman of many passions!  
These few are truly the tip of the iceberg.    
Other Passions include:
Vintage Campers ~ Dairy Goats ~ Gardening ~ Dancing
Karaoke ~ Wineries ~ Playing the Drums (trying)
Boxer Dogs ~ Chickens ~ Reading ~ Tear Jerking Movies
Etc...Etc...Etc... 

Living Out Loud!

Cold and Flu Season is upon us. How can we help our body to remain healthier during  this season?  One recipe that our family uses as a preventive measure and as a remedy during illness is Fire Cider. Fire Cider is a lovely, spicy drink made with several ingredients that build the immune system as well as fight against viral and bacterial infections. "Fire Cider" is a term that renowned herbalist Rosemary Gladstar made popular through her many books, classes, herb courses and teachings. The basic recipe includes: Apple Cider Vinegar (with the mother) Ginger, Hot Peppers, Onions,  Garlic, Horseradish and Honey. However, there are other ingredients that can be added that have cold/flu fighting properties. Let's look at some ingredients:     Apple Cider Vinegar We are talking about raw, organic ACV with the 'mother'. ACV is full of vitamins and trace minerals!

Elderberry Syrup Preparation I love making herb and food medicinal preparations! It amazes me that herbs, spices and wholefoods can actually tone and strengthen your body to heal itself in many situations. As an herbalist, it is so much fun to share with others  the amazing benefits of incorporating herbs, spices  and whole foods into one's daily health plan. We are not quite through the winter season here in Missouri. Even though the days are getting longer, they can still be dreary and cold!  Getting out and about in the winter  weather is quite challenging at times.  But, there is beauty during the winter as well.  It is a needful time for nature, and it is a needful time for people. Nature is resting.  It is her season to be quiet and withdrawn. Her roots are preparing for spring.  The natural way of things for people during the winter season, is a time of rest and reflection. It is a time to physically replenish with warming nutriti

  Winter Garden The gardens are beautiful in every season. I appreciate living in the mid-west where we have all four seasons to enjoy. Winters can be harsh here in Missouri, but they are also beautiful. I like to go with the flow of the seasons with my health and wellness path. Winter is a great time of nourishing rest for our bodies. Winter is the season for eating slow foods and drinking nourishing hot drinks. I am a certified herbalist. But, I do not re-invent the wheel when it comes to herbal education. I love to share other herbalist information. Here are a few links that are excellent reads for the season of winter health and wellness: Wintergreen Botanicals  shares about choosing the right immune support for your needs.
