May brings Mother’s Day, the most wonderful time of year 🙂
What better way to celebrate than with Happy Mama tea? It’s a gentle, nurturing blend that helps women’s health at all phases of life, balances hormones, and calms the nerves.
I remember having a get together with a group of women that I made this tea for. I couldn’t keep the teapot filled! The women naturally gravitated to this tea, and it was wonderful to see the calm smiles on their faces.
