I’m Meagan, a registered nurse turned herbalist, and I want to live life naturally. Follow along as my husband and I and our four sons figure out what natural living looks like for our family. And of course, I’d love for you to join me on this journey, too! There’s nothing better than having a good hiking buddy with a compass!

Good reminders for the holiday season from @positivelypresent.

What would you add to this list?
.
Me? I’d add, “Take ashwagandha tincture daily.”

This week, in a mastermind group I’m a part of, we were encouraged to choose a word for the week—a word that we want to feel over the next 7 days.
.
I chose the word “prepared.”
.
With the holidays ahead, my parents spending Christmas with us this year, and our seasonal homeschool year starting back up in February—feeling prepared is just what I need.
.
So I made a list of 5 things I wanted to get done this week that would help me feel better prepared.
.
1. Go antiquing/shopping for more furniture.
2. Hang decor on walls.
3. Make a meal plan for Christmas Day.
4. Finish shopping for gifts.
5. Create a barebones homeschool schedule for next year to build on over the next month.
.
If I get all of these things accomplished by the end of the week, I will feel much more prepared for the weeks to come.

Am I the only one that thinks the long, cold, dark days of winter are enchanting and magical? If so, then you need to spend a winter or two in the woods.
.
You see, I used to dread winter. However, the more I slow down and spend my time doing things that nourish my body for the busy year ahead, the more I enjoy winter. I not only find time to nourish my body through food and herbs, but I nourish my mind and emotions by living slower, journaling, reading, working on creative projects, and spending time with friends and family. To me, winter is a time to fill my own cup so I can pour from it once spring arrives.
.
And then there are the woods during winter. Everything is bare and vulnerable, and that’s how I feel too. But I’m finding that in that vulnerability, we find ourselves, or little pieces of who we want to become. There’s truth there, you know? Also, when it snows, the woods are lovely. There’s a white dust that settles on everything. Everything is calm and quiet. The animals are buried deep inside their warm winter homes, and so am I. But then the sun comes out, and the white begins to melt. You can hear little drips of water everywhere, and if you pay attention, you can catch little quick movements of animals that venture outside of their homes to play and forage in the snow. Again, it’s magical!
