Inspired by an article in Mothering Magazine we gathered herbs and flowers from the garden; lavender, roses, thyme, sage, rosemary, mint, and some unidentified bits of green the kids found. We made a tea with the fragrant herbs and flowers and while the tea steeped we wrapped more herbs and flowers in a square of fabric with a cotton ball to absorb a few drops of grapefruit essential oil. The fabric sachet was to take to enjoy a foot bath at home then the hot herb tea was added to a small tub of cool water for the kids and moms to take a foot soak…..so sweet! I hope everyone will find time sit with their kids and soak their feet and share a special moment. I imagine a cool soak on a hot afternoon while sipping iced tea or a warm soak on a cold day with a story and maybe a cup of hot cocoa.
Dear Gail,
I love your photos on this post! My son and I also loved that Mothering Magazine article, and passed along the idea to all of our mommy & kid friends!
As Mothering Magazine does not have an on-line version of its article, I made a link to your site in a recent article I wrote called: “Elderberries and Elders…. More Gifts from the Sonoma County Community”
It seems like both of us are up to projects that support Sonoma County Families. I’d love to invite you to my blog at http://sono-ma.blogspot.com/
I will also link you on my list!
