From generation to generation.....
When I was a little girl, I would sometimes stay with Grandma Emma while Mom would go grocery shopping and do errands. Her little cottage always smelled like cookies and talcum powder. She was a really good cook! Her specialty was apple pie and gingersnap cookies. Her gingersnaps were just the right blend of spice, sweetness, and "snap". (Snap meaning crispness and chewiness.) Grandma Emma lived to be 103 years old. Charity (my daughter) is pregnant with her 2nd child has had quite a bout of morning sickness. I made up a batch of Grandma Emma's gingersnap cookies in the hopes that the ginger might help with the nausea. And it did! I think it would tickle Grandma to know that her cookie recipe is being put to good use, and is soothing her granddaughter (that would be me--the overprotective worrier) and her great granddaughter (that would be Charity--the expectant mother). "For the Lord is good. His Lovingkindness everlasting. And His faithfulness to all generations." (Ps. 100:5)

What a precious story! I love old remedies! I think they often work better than "modern medicine" and are so much better for you, too.

I was very ill with my first two pregnancies. I was given a million suggestions to help the nasea but, nothing ever helped. I ended up on medication because I couldn't eat or drink anything.
Anyway, I am so glad for your daughter that the gingersnap cookies help! The only remedies that I can remember being told about right now is to eat popsicles and to take one of the vitamin B's (can't remember which one it was though).
