Comment FIRE for my recipes! (Spicy and non-spicy Comment FIRE for my recipes! (Spicy and non-spicy kid friendly versions!) 

Fire cider has been around for AGES. But became popular in the 70โ€™s when herbalists were sharing about it. It can be made a multitude of ways and is one of the OG immune boosting tonics. 

Itโ€™s super intense and strong smelling but I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it! 

If I ever feel a cold coming on (or anyone around me is sick) Iโ€™ll take a shot of this daily until it has passed. 

You can also use it in dressings, drinks, and other various recipes. Itโ€™s so usefully, tasty, and fully customizable. 

Itโ€™s cheap and easy to make your own natural remedies at home. 

This cost me maybe $25 and made about 96 ounces. A farm stand local to me was selling TWO OUNCES for $17. No. Thank you. 

Follow along for PART two where my kids help me strain their kid friendly version and letโ€™s see if they actually like it!! 

And for more natural remedies, holistic motherhood, and kid-friendly recipes!

It was the never ending sampling for me ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ Hear m It was the never ending sampling for me ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Hear me out โ€” I know this isnโ€™t a novel idea, but โ€ฆ. MAKE YOUR OWN TRAIL MIX. 

Obviously, itโ€™s super easy, AND the ratios are on point. 

Every trail mix Iโ€™ve ever purchased is either 90% almonds and flavorless craisins or packed with sugar and seed oils. 

Make your own and itโ€™s fully customizable (aka no almonds for us โ€”why are they so hard anyways ?!) 

This was our FAVORITE snack on our recent road trip and camping/ hiking trip in Moab with our toddlers. ๐ŸคŒ๐Ÿผ๐ŸคŒ๐Ÿผ

Blessed beyond measure. Thank you, Jesus! He has transformed my life, forgiven my sins, and given me everything my heart could ever imagine, and He wants a relationship with you too! 

This is one of my favorite songs: 
โ€œThank You Jesus, for the blood applied
Thank You Jesus, it has washed me white
Thank You Jesus, You have saved my life
Brought me from the darkness into glorious light

You took my place, laid inside my tomb of sin
You were buried for three days but then You walked right out again
And now death has no sting and life has no end
For I have been transformed by the blood of the Lambโ€

Comment GUIDE and Iโ€™ll send it to you. Most tick Comment GUIDE and Iโ€™ll send it to you.

Most tick advice ends with:
โ€œjust go see your doctor.โ€

But what happens when youโ€™re sitting there with a tick in your childโ€ฆ
and no one is actually telling you what to look for next?

Iโ€™ve been on both sides of thisโ€”
13 years in the ER and now as a mom finding one embedded in my own baby.

And I can tell you this:
๐Ÿ‘‰ The panic doesnโ€™t come from the tick
๐Ÿ‘‰ It comes from not knowing what to do next

So I made the guide I wish I had in that moment.

Inside youโ€™ll find:
 โ€ข  how to identify ticks (and why it matters)
 โ€ข  exactly how to remove them safely
 โ€ข  what to watch for (and what actually matters)
 โ€ข  when Iโ€™d monitor vs when Iโ€™d push for testing
 โ€ข  holistic + medical options laid out clearly

Itโ€™s 97 pages, but itโ€™s meant to be used in real timeโ€”
when you donโ€™t want to second guess yourself.

If you want to be the mom whoโ€™s prepared instead of panickingโ€ฆ

Our first camping trip with our toddlers and my hu Our first camping trip with our toddlers and my husband and I have been asking each other if this was worth it. 

Days packing, shopping, and prepping food. 

A 9 hour drive that took 12 hours with exactly 4679 potty breaks. 85% of them phantom potty breaks. 

We left at 4am thinking they would sleep. They did not. (We also did not) 

Setting up the tent with 2 toddlers was an EVENT. we lost the rainfly and after ages of looking for it โ€” we found it underneath the tent and had to move everything to get to it ๐Ÿ˜‚

Overstimulated and overtired toddlers in a campground at bedtime was ๐Ÿซฃ๐Ÿ˜‚. Pretty sure the entire campground heard us. 

The one air mattress that we bought off of Facebook marketplace that was โ€œbrand new and never usedโ€ was in fact, not. And my husband slept on the cold ground holding one toddler all night (bless that man). 

 We woke up this morning and asked each other if we were going to do it again and if it was worth it. TBD on that. But we did say itโ€™s too soon to fully decide. 

Then this little peanut hit me with the โ€œmommy youโ€™re my best friendโ€ and everything leading up to that moment is suddenly all fine. 

Off to adventure in the desert today! 

One thing I am certain of though, is that camping with kids is A LOT of work. ๐Ÿ˜…

Comment LIFE below and Iโ€™ll send you the full prin Comment LIFE below and Iโ€™ll send you the full printable list of affirmations to speak over your babies. ๐Ÿค

The words you speak over your child are becoming their reality.

Their brains are literally wired to absorb everything you say โ€” especially in those quiet moments before sleep. They donโ€™t filter it, they donโ€™t question it, they just receive what you say as truth.

So I made a choice; Every night, every nap, randomly in the car, and at the kitchen table, I speak life over my girls. Because what I call them, what I label them as, they will become.

โ€œLife and death are in the power of the tongue.โ€ โ€” Proverbs 18:21

This isnโ€™t just a sweet thing to do. Itโ€™s one of the most powerful things you will ever do as a parent.

Send this to a mom friend who would love to do this.

Skip the corned beef this year (your kids probably wonโ€™t eat it anyways) and make this instead! 

I made this hearty Irish-style beef stew in my 360 Cookware slow cooker set with bone broth, tender beef, potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, and herbs. This is the kind of meal that fills the house with the smell of something amazing simmering all afternoon.

My entire family devoured it โ€” and it made a massive pot so we have leftovers too. WINNNNN ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ

I sear the beef on the stove first to build flavor, then move the same pot to the slow-cooker base so everything finishes low and slow and the meat is fall-apart tender. Itโ€™s simple, nourishing comfort food and perfect for St. Patrickโ€™s Day or truly ANY DAY. 

Cookware was gifted by 360 Cookware and itโ€™s genuinely become one of my favorite things in my kitchen.

Comment STEW and Iโ€™ll send you the full recipe.

And if you have a friend who loves cozy slow-cooked meals, send this to them so they can make it too. ๐Ÿฒ
