* Evening Ritual *


sleepytime extra tea

I love Celestial seasonings Tea ...the packaging is simple and good for the environment {not to mention adorable}, the teas are mostly caffeine free and have yummy delicious flavors, and this one in particular helps relax my mind and body and prepare it for a nice long night of sleep. But I think the main reason I always reach for the Celestial Seasonings boxes is because it's what my mom always chose to drink ...and that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Thanks mom ;)

I wish I liked tea, its so good for you, but I hate the taste.

Isn't it funny how the things that we grew up eating & drinking become such a comfort?

Thanks for stopping by...I posted some more pics of the Pete Wentz Show (my son wheeled him out, he was in a straight jacket w/ a Hannibal Lector mask)& a link to GQ.com for his other show.

Just a proud mama!

Same here. Finances weren't what you would call abundant, and Mom made a huge deal out of little things for me and my sister. She would make a pot of Sleepy Time tea and put it on a tray with delicate tea cups. It was so special! I drink it to this day. Another favorite is their holiday special Nutcracker Sweet.

If you ever come out to Colorado, you'll have to let me take you to their factory in Boulder. Such wonderful smells!

I've been meaning to buy some Sleepytime tea. Thanks for reminding me :)

Amy said...

I love the Sleepytime tea too! I have their "sample pack" as well which is chamomile, peppermint, and I think a berry flavour as well as sleepytime. The peppermint one is great for hangovers :D

I really would like to be more of a tea person. B. drinks tea all of the time and it makes the house smell so wonderful. Sadly, I don't think I'll be able to give up what has become a serious coffee addiction :(

I love following in the traditions of my mom (when I like them haha).

This is SUPER creepy because my mom introduced me to the same exact tea when she was staying with us after the baby was born. I love that stuff!

TRY MAKING "FRUITY TEA PUNCH" RECIPE USING RED ZINGER TEA BAGS, RASPBERRY ZINGER TEA BAGS, AND CHAMOMILE TEA BAGS, ORANGE JUICE, AND SUGAR TO TASTE........IN MARTHASTEWART.COM I'M NOT CRAZY ABOUT CHAMOMILE, SO I USE MORE OF THE OTHER TWO INSTEAD.

this is my FAVORITE! What a great night time ritual :)

Jessica said...

I really wanted to be a tea person and bought plenty of varieties to try, but it just never happened for me. I'm destined to stick with my morning coffee ritual!
