Home Sweet Home # 43

Hello and welcome to Home Sweet Home!  I am happy to be joining Sandi at Rose Chintz Cottage for a  Christmas tea and Kathy at A Delightsome Life's Christmas with Victoria Party.  These two parties are next week (Dec. 5th & 6th)  but, I am putting them here because there are a lot of parties next week.

I am having a tea today and sharing memories of all the time I have spent with the children. 

.

 I have stayed home with the boys since the first two were 3 and 1 year old.  I have really enjoyed every minute of it.  They have always been active and always been boys but, there will always be something special about all that time they spent with their Momma.

One of the joys we have shared in the last year has been tea.  None of us were really more than ice tea drinkers until I started creating these tea posts.  Now we all have a cup of tea every now and then.

We recently had bronchitis go through the whole house.  I was checking out home remedies for it online and came across a lemon tea recipe that really worked.  You simply take a wedge of lemon bring it to a boil and let it steep 5 minutes.  Strain the lemon pour the tea into a cup and we sweetened it with honey.  The kids didn't cough for over two hours!  I couldn't believe that it worked better than a drug and it was better for them too.

Do you have a favorite home remedy?  Tea is a great remedy for a lot of things!  We all enjoy a cup of some kind of tea every now and then.

Next week's Home Sweet Home will go on a day early due to some scheduling conflicts I have but, never fear it will be here!
