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 70’s when herbalists were sharing about it. It can be made a multitude of ways and is one of the OG immune boosting tonics.

It’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) I’ll take a shot of this daily until it has passed.

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

It’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 let’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 😂😂

Hear me out — I know this isn’t a novel idea, but …. MAKE YOUR OWN TRAIL MIX.

Obviously, it’s super easy, AND the ratios are on point.

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

Make your own and it’s fully customizable (aka no almonds for us —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. 🤌🏼🤌🏼

This high protein chocolate pudding tastes just like the creamy, chocolatey pudding we grew up loving — but it’s made with real, wholesome ingredients.

My kids devour it, my husband was obsessed, and I felt genuinely good serving it. There is only a handful of ingredients, and it’s ready in under 20 minutes.

Full recipe is on the blog — comment PUDDING below, and I’ll send it your way!

Comment BITES, and I’ll send you my recipe!

These egg bites have been on repeat in our house, and I am not stopping anytime soon.

They’re perfect for when my kids are in an egg slump — I have them help me make them and suddenly they’re EGGCITED (😏) about eggs again!

They’re high protein, totally customizable, kid-approved, and they travel SO well — we took them camping in Moab recently and ate them cold, warmed them on the camp stove, and served them alongside baked oatmeal for the most satisfying camping breakfasts.

Nourished my busy toddlers so we were able to do ALLLLL the things without a mid-morning crash.

Happy Resurrection Sunday! Happy Easter! ✝️🕊️

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:
“Thank 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 Lamb”

Comment SALT and I’ll send you all the details on how to use it, heat it, etc.

A spilled container of Maldon salt sent me down a rabbit hole and I am so glad it did. �
The salt sock has been used for centuries and is now a permanent fixture in our home.

You only need a sock and some salt, and you have a powerhouse remedy for ear pain, headaches, sinus congestion, sore muscles, and more!

OOPS on the colored sock though — hop over to the blog for the full guide on how to make one, what sock to actually use, how to heat it, store it, and when to use it.

Comment GUIDE and I’ll send it to you. Most tick

Comment GUIDE and I’ll send it to you.

Most tick advice ends with:
“just go see your doctor.”

But what happens when you’re sitting there with a tick in your child…
and no one is actually telling you what to look for next?

I’ve been on both sides of this—
13 years in the ER and now as a mom finding one embedded in my own baby.

And I can tell you this:
👉 The panic doesn’t come from the tick
👉 It comes from not knowing what to do next

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

Inside you’ll find:
• how to identify ticks (and why it matters)
• exactly how to remove them safely
• what to watch for (and what actually matters)
• when I’d monitor vs when I’d push for testing
• holistic + medical options laid out clearly

It’s 97 pages, but it’s meant to be used in real time—
when you don’t want to second guess yourself.

If you want to be the mom who’s prepared instead of panicking…
Comment GUIDE and I’ll send it over.

Not medical advice—just education and exactly what I personally do. Always consult a trusted medical provider if you have questions, concerns, or symptoms. And before starting any medication or supplement.

Would you eat any of this?

Call me extra, but i refuse to eat hot dogs for 5 days straight and feel like absolute garbage.

Spent a few days meal prepping food for camping and I have ZERO regrets.

What are your favorite camping meals?

P.s. all these work for weekly meal prep too! 💃🏼

Comment LIFE below and I’ll send you the full printable list of affirmations to speak over your babies. 🤍

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

Their brains are literally wired to absorb everything you say — especially in those quiet moments before sleep. They don’t filter it, they don’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.

“Life and death are in the power of the tongue.” — Proverbs 18:21

This isn’t just a sweet thing to do. It’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.

Comment STEW for the full recipe! ☘️🇮🇪

Skip the corned beef this year (your kids probably won’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 — and it made a massive pot so we have leftovers too. WINNNNN 🙌🏼

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. It’s simple, nourishing comfort food and perfect for St. Patrick’s Day or truly ANY DAY.

Cookware was gifted by 360 Cookware and it’s genuinely become one of my favorite things in my kitchen.

Comment STEW and I’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. 🍲

Comment FLU TEA and I’ll send you the recipe! 🫖

This herbal tea blend is one we turn to for all of it — the flu, stomach bugs, GI upset, diarrhea, you name it 🌿 And the best part is that it actually tastes good AND my toddlers will drink it!

Share this with a mama who needs to make this ASAP!

Red raspberry leaf, peppermint, nettle, alfalfa, and yarrow — every single herb in this blend has a job to do, and together they are deeply nourishing, soothing, and immune supporting for the whole family, including kids.
