Up since 4:30, hunting crew sent off with breakfast, kitchen cleaned, and laundry going. Taking a little porch coffee break before lessons and a trip to town. ☕🍂

I’m ready to switch up my coffee a little! What’s your favorite creamer or flavor combo? Tell me what’s in your cup, or show me a picture. I could use some coffee inspiration this morning!

What our Saturday has looked like.
Kids riding bikes while we wait for the rain, 11 1/2 quarts of grape juice finished, herbs harvested and football.

🎉Product Spotlight of the Week🎉

Meet Ginger & Clove Warming Balm 🌿

A rich, smoothly spreading balm for use during targeted or deep tissue massage; whether you’re working on shoulders, your back, legs, or feet.

Herb infused olive oil, castor oil, and beeswax give it a soft texture, with a softly spicy, herbal scent and a gentle cinnamon note.

Handcrafted in small batches here at Balsam Ridge Traditions. Take a peek at the process, from herbs to finished jars!

Available in 2-ounce jars.

Putting a little summer away for the colder days ahead. 🌿

This morning has been spent filling jars and keeping the canner busy. There’s something satisfying about working with my hands and putting food away for our family.

I saw a post about how quickly families can lose the knowledge of raising and preserving their own food. It made me grateful for what our parents and grandparents taught us, and determined to pass it along to our kids.

Anywho, grape juice is next on the list. We’ll see how far the day takes us! 😂

Do you put up food for winter? What’s your favorite thing to have waiting in the pantry?

Today’s cups are filled with Blue Ridge Breeze and milky oat tops.

Milky oats have traditionally been used as a nourishing herb during times of stress, and paired with the mintiness of Blue Ridge Breeze, this felt like exactly the cup we needed today. The herbs work together beautifully, it’s like a deep exhale in a mug.

This bottle has really been earning its keep lately. Between feeling bloated and getting carsick (which I do, a lot) it’s been my right hand man. I just add it straight to my glass of lemonade.

📣 PSA:

After doing some reflecting and having a few honest conversations, I have decided to pull Papaw’s dough bowls and spoons from the site.

Because of some changes in Papaw’s health, these pieces could very well be the last of his work. Our hope is that he’ll be back to making them and feeling like his old self again soon, but for now, their true value lies in our hearts. They’re a sentimental part of who we are and of the story behind Balsam Ridge Traditions.

We appreciate everyone who has ordered one in the past, and we hope you treasure your piece as much as we treasure ours. Thank you for understanding.

Sometimes it’s up before the sun, fixing breakfast while the house sleeps before a full day of appointments and errands. Other days it’s pancakes in a cast iron skillet, bread rising on the counter, and homemade bacon waiting to be sliced.

No two days look the same, but one thing is guaranteed; I’m probably behind schedule.
