Do you yearn for a calm, simple home-life? You know:
vegetable rows,
handknit cloths on the clothesline,
flickering beeswax candles,
pots of homemade herb salve,
a screen door that opens to a front porch,
garden roses on the piano?
If so, you're among friends. Because that's the home-life I want to share with you.

I get it: you're busy. And maybe you're yearning for a more authentic, back-to-real-things life. Maybe you're seeking out natural, real products... or itching for more of the unique, handmade, old-fashioned things our grandparents enjoyed. If so, I'm glad we've found each other. Let me introduce you to Balm + Honey.

Balm + Honey comes from a verse in the Bible- Genesis 43:11- where a family facing difficult times decides to pack "a little balm and a little honey" as a gift. That grabbed me, so this small business was born out of a heart-aching yearn for tactile, simple, real products I could share, made out of things I can pronounce, from things from America. The seeds for Balm + Honey were planted in 2004, when I left my life as a CBS News reporter and landed in the Texas Piney Woods. I began gardening, then knitting, to quiet my life. In 2009, Balm + Honey came about to offer folks natural, handmade goods to add a bit of sweet and solace to our homes. And hearts.

Every balm from Balm + Honey is handmade in small batches with raw honey, beeswax, and propolis from our naturally-kept hives. No fake mess. No artificial junk. No outsourcing or cutting corners. We use these balms, too. We slather them on our sweet littles and rub them into our grandmother’s hands. 💛
