To buy NORA Tea: You can purchase my handcrafted NORA Tea blend HERE! What Exactly IS NORA Tea?! NORA Tea is a nourishing tea for preconception, the second and third trimesters of pregnancy and postpartum.  There’s a lot of contradictory information about the safety of Red Raspberry Leaf in the first trimester due to being a uterine toning herb. My recommendation is to talk with your care provider and use discernment by going to the Lord in prayer.   NORA Tea consists of Nettle, Oatstraw, Red Raspberry Leaf and Alfalfa. This tea has traditionally been recommended by midwives as it has many healthful and preventative properties. The specific herbs are chosen for their nutritive content and their herbal actions that are beneficial for women in their childbearing year.    NORA Tea is known to stimulate your system to optimal health, optimize mineral absorption, guard against anemias and maximize liver health.

  To buy Postpartum Herbal Bath Blends: You can purchase my handcrafted blend  HERE! Hey sister! I'm so excited to be talking about Postpartum Herbal Baths on the blog! My Postpartum Herbal Baths are officially launched on my website and being offered!

The time we spent in that bath soaking are some of my fondest postpartum moments.  Badrick blissfully laid in my arms nursing and napping. I laid there blissfully reminiscing on our wonderful home water birth and the four days that had already passed since we welcomed this new little so...

  Hey sisters! I’m excited to be back with you in this space! Today, I want to touch on the topic of Gestational Diabetes. It’s a pretty hot topic as more and more women are being tested earlier in pregnancy, the guidelines for “acceptable” numbers are being changed and many women are “risking out” due to numbers that aren’t within the “acceptable” guidelines.  My hope here is to present you with factual information that will raise your own free-thinking questions and have you doing more of your own independent study on this topic, especially if you’re in a situation where you may need to advocate for yourself and stand your ground. I’m not here to convince you one way or another, only you can make your decision based on the information you glean from the sources you research. I’m just here to present you with factual information and solid resources. This is another time that I want to remind you about the BRAIN acronym in decision making. Here’s a whole blog post I wrote abou...
