When it's freezing out, make tea!!!

It is freezing outside today, but school day equals errand day in our house!!!  While #1 is in school, #2, #3 and I do tons of errands.  It is much easier to do this with two kids than three.  We had to hit the supermarket, post office, bank, sporting good store and the co-op... all in 2.5 hours.  Surprisingly, we were able to do it, but not without freezing our keisters off!!!  

When we got home, we were all freezing... all the way to our bones.  I walked in the door, turned the kettle on for tea and let it boil while I got the kids settled and in for a nap.  By the time they were all tucked in, the whistle was blowing!  I went back to the kitchen, poured the water in the teapot and viola!  Rosehip lemon mint tea!  It is the perfect way to start my afternoon down time!!! 

I made this out of rose hips picked from DH's family summer cottage this summer, some dried lemon rind and some organic mint tea from the local co-op.  

Pardon me while I go enjoy my down time... :o)
