Honestly, I’m a really good secret keeper - but al Honestly, I’m a really good secret keeper - but also, know that I’m telling my husband (unless you tell me not to) 

Cause he won’t tell anyone and then I have room to keep every secret you need me to keep.

My lips are sealed after him. 

And he probably forgot or wasn’t listening anyways. 

If this is you too, send it to your bestie so she knows 😏

GENIUS.
I honestly think the worst part is knowing this fe I honestly think the worst part is knowing this feeling will never go away. 

Knowing that it will continue to feel like it’s going too fast. 

Forever and ever and ever.
But for real. Where did this URGE come from?! But for real.

Real question: Are we ironing sheets again?
You have probably walked past this weed 1,000 time You have probably walked past this weed 1,000 times. 

This weed is plantain (not the banana looking thing) and has earned the nickname “ nature’s Band-Aid” because it’s traditionally been used to soothe bug bites, stings, minor, scrapes, itchy, skin, and other every day outdoor irritations! 

We almost always have some growing somewhere in our yard and it’s one of my favorite plants to know how to identify because we use it so often! 

And the best part is, it’s really easy to identify! Both my girls can pick it out (they’re 2&4!). 

I had about 5 massive horse fly bites on my legs and they were already itchy and bleeding. Not even a minute later and I had no pain or itching! Truly remarkable! (If you’ve ever had a horse fly bite before you know how awful they are!) 

I guarantee once you know what it looks like you will see it everywhere! 

But as always - make sure you identify any wild plant correctly before using it. I always try to avoid contaminated areas such as roadsides or sprayed lawns. 

Have you ever heard of plantain before? 👇🏼🌿

Welcome to a new series where I chat all things TMI - cause nothing is truly TMI with me, I’m a nurse after all! 

Today we’re chatting : RAZOR BURN! 

This has seriously been incredible. Been using it like this for 2 years now and can confidently say that there is a MASSIVE difference between using it and not using it. 

If you’re super prone to razor burn you can use this once a day for the first 3 ish days (or more if needed). 

Love this stuff. 

It’s amazing for sunburns too! Cools it right down and the olive leaf is incredible for supporting healing! I haven’t peeled once when using this on a sunburn! Way better than aloe in my opinion. 

Definitely a must have for my first aid/home apothecary cabinet.

Small town summer fun in Idaho 🇺🇸 I hope everyone Small town summer fun in Idaho 🇺🇸

I hope everyone had a fun (and safe!) Fourth of July! 

Moving to Idaho was such a wild leap and NOT on our bingo card for 2025. But it has turned out to be such a blessing of a move and we are continually amazed at what Idaho has to offer and the caliber of people out here. 

So blessed and thankful for the life we are creating out here. 🥹

If you’ve been contemplating a move to a new state, I’m always going to encourage you to do it! Life is too short to stay in one place your whole life. 

Go be bold! America is amazing with so much beauty. 

Happy 250th birthday America, we love you!

Some things truly never change - I am SO often the Some things truly never change - I am SO often the last minute mom. 

This video is from last year - we didn’t even make shirts this year. We may just wear these again 😂

If you need a super easy shirt idea though, these were such a hit. 
We got so many compliments and moms asking me how we made them. 

Shirt instructions: Mix fabric paint medium with acrylic paint 1:1. Let dry completely and then iron on synthetic setting with a cloth between for 3-5 min. (I can’t remember if we actually got around to ironing them or not! lol) 

I truly made them at 11pm on July 3 and we wore them the next day! 

When we lived in Michigan we went to Salute to America at Greenfield village every year (it’s a 4th of July Celebration in historic museum village)! 

If you want the paint we used comment PAINT and I’ll send it your way!!

Comment COUGH, and I’ll send you my free holistic Comment COUGH, and I’ll send you my free holistic croup guide! 

If there is ONE thing I recommend every parent keep on hand, it’s a nebulizer.

As an ER nurse and holistic mom, I’ve found this little machine has helped us manage countless respiratory illnesses at home and kept us out of the ER more than once.

The crazy part is they seem to disappear from Amazon every few weeks, and then parents are scrambling to find one when their child is already sick. They also keep getting more expensive. 👀 

If you don’t have one, I’d grab one before you need it.

I also put together my complete holistic croup resource, including supportive care tips, signs to watch for, and guidance on when it’s time to seek medical attention.

This month’s mix includes PR, affiliate products, and a few things I bought myself because I genuinely wanted to try.

Huge thank you to:

@getsuperteeth 
@perelelhealth 
@trelli.health

@curednutrition 
And super excited to try @cakesbody (if you have them let me know your thoughts!) 

I don’t receive nearly as much PR as some creators, but I truly don’t take a single package for granted. I’m incredibly thankful for every brand that trusts me to try their products and share my honest thoughts with this community.

As always, I’ll test everything before deciding if it’s something I’d personally recommend. If it earns a spot in our home, you’ll hear about it. If it doesn’t, you’ll hear that too.

If you’d like links to everything featured in this reel, comment SHOP and I’ll send you my ShopMy. 

That’s where I keep all of my favorite products in one place, and it’s also where many of these brand opportunities come from. 

If you’re a creator, it’s worth checking out too - you can earn commission by sharing products you genuinely love.

This is what I’d like to call a ‘God wink’ kind of This is what I’d like to call a ‘God wink’ kind of moment. 

I’ve heard this before but I desperately needed the reminder. 

It’s so easy to forget things that are simple. 

But often, the simple things are the most impactful. 

If your heart whispered,
“I needed this.”

Chances are someone else does too.

Share it with her. 🤍

Sending you the biggest hug! 

Follow @vitalityash for more holistic motherhood to live a life of vitality. ✨

P.S. Tomorrow, before you check your phone... thank God for five things. Then continue to look for them throughout the day. Then come back and tell me how your day went. I’d love to hear if this helped you as much as it helped me 🤍

A song for the husband + dad 🎶 I surprised my hus A song for the husband + dad 🎶

I surprised my husband with this song at our wedding during our first dance. It was never finished and I didn’t realize it, until now. 

Added a verse about watching him become a dad. 

maybe you feel this way too - but watching him become a dad and love on our children has only deepened my love for him. 

Truly amazed and blessed that I get to live this beautiful life with my beautiful husband, who is and will forever be my favorite. 

If you’ve felt the same, maybe you could share it with your hubby - and put your feelings into words 🫶🏼
