For the past 18 years, I’ve had the blessing of caring for my 93-years-young Grammie, who will be celebrating her 94th birthday this year. Our caregiving journey has been filled with love, lessons, adjustments, laughter, challenging days, and plenty of learning along the way. Over the years, I’ve discovered different items that have helped make our everyday routines a little easier, safer, more comfortable, and manageable. I created this list to share some of the products and everyday essentials I’ve personally used throughout our caregiving journey. Every caregiver and every loved one’s needs are different, so take what works for you and your situation. My hope is that something here makes your caregiving journey just a little easier—because sometimes, it’s the smallest things that make the biggest difference. From one caregiver to another, I hope you find something here that helps you care with a little more ease and a whole lot of love.

Welcome to my Herbal Roots Tea Favorites! Around here, I love going straight from the backyard to the pot! There’s something special about growing, gathering, and brewing what nature provides. If I don’t have it growing in my own backyard—or one of my fellow green-thumb friends doesn’t have it—I go to the next best thing: a trusted source I feel comfortable recommending. This list is a collection of some of my favorite herbal roots and trusted finds for creating warm, nourishing cups of tea. As you explore, remember that many herbs have traditionally been used for medicinal purposes. Always do your own due diligence, research each herb, and consider speaking with a qualified healthcare professional—especially if you take medications, are pregnant or nursing, or have health concerns. Now, grab your favorite cup, warm up the pot, and enjoy exploring a little goodness from the earth.
