Total mad respect for you and everything you do! You don't need my validation but golly lady I am proud of you!!

I am honestly flattered that I found this channel. You are real!! I respect your raw honestly in everything that you are accomplishing. Motherhood is hard work. Let alone homesteading and keeping it real! This channel is unique on it's own. You are not trying to perfect your daily tasks. Life has enough challenges. Thank you for being real with yours. You are showing the truth behind homesteading. It's dirty, messy, and never ending. If we don't work. We don't eat. I'm watching this video and enjoying the simplicity through the entire post.....

All that you do is amazing. So glad I found this channel! :) As a current nursing student, I would love to learn more from you about all the natural lifestyle modifications you've made!

Another incredible mum who knows about natural remedies and cooking from scratch. Garlic is indeed a miracle that God put on this for us to use. ❤

You make everything that you do look so easy! Here’s a tip that you might find helpful. Years ago I had an organic garden. Someone told me a super easy way to grow potatoes that really works. Have a patch of dirt without weeds, lay your seed potatoes on top -DON’T DIG- cover them with at least foot deep of straw. As the potato vines grow you may need to add more straw, but I never did. The idea is to keep the sunlight from reaching the potatoes. The vines will grow through the straw and hold it in place. When the vines die simply roll back the dead vines and straw. Voilà! There are all of your big, beautiful, clean potatoes. No digging. No cut potatoes. It was so much fun, it was like Christmas morning. This does not work for sweet potatoes, only white potatoes.

Excellent advice about the garlic! It’s crazy to me that you were a nurse and were never taught about the side effects of those things. Good for you for doing your own research!

New subscriber! Glad I found your channel! My MIL taught me the garlic trick 20+ years ago when my oldest ones were little and although I thought I was pretty open to natural ways, I was scared to try it because I just thought it sounded weird to put raw garlic inside an ear lol. But when I finally tried it, it really did work! I've been on a journey of learning natural health since then. I'm now a certified holistic nutritionist, herbalist, and wellness coach!

My grandmother would warm up olive oil then put slices of fresh garlic . She would then dip a cotton ball in the solution and put it in my ear.. it always worked . I used it for my own children.

Whenever I had an ear infection as a child, my mum put a clove of garlic cut up in a table spoon then added a little bit of olive oil and heated it up or rather let it boil on the fire, then let it cool off and dropped a few drops in my ear and the infection was gone. My mom used a lot of natural remedies like this one.

I grew up in Northern Virginia - My mother and grandmother always used pickles or relish (dill) , and mustard in their potato salad. That's how I learned to make it, and still do today. I also use bacon in mine, too. Your recipe is very similar to mine. I totally agree with you about making your own mayonnaise - SO much better!

My lifestyle has greater changed also. With my older kids I did like you did. My oldest son got tubes twice. Now, my youngest 2 children have never had ear infections. We are raising them more natural. I can see a huge difference! ❤

So raw, honest and genuine. It’s one thing to be on social media and share your opinions/ideas but it’s another thing to actually state the scientific facts of it. I’m so so so entirely grateful I’ve found your page. Sending so much appreciation and love.

Great video. The potatoe salad looks yummy I just love how it went from the outside to the table. Thank you for showing us what you do and how to make mayonnaise from scratch that's pretty awesome. I hope you and your family enjoyed your night. Blessings ☝🏾🙏🏾

I've done the garlic for ear infections as well. It's wonderful! I've just come across your channel, and looking forward to watching more! Thank you for all you share!

I've never had potato salad without relish. It's one of the key ingredients in soul food style potato salad.

Awesome video! I could listen to your advice all day

Thanks for another great video! The garlic tip and the explanation of what's causing earaches was so great. I appreciate you boldly speaking about this and educating others. Love your content.

I am so happy I found your channel. Thank you so much for sharing your lifestyle with the world. You are doing such an impactful thing.

Nobody got tubes in the sixties when I was a kid. I believe it about the garlic. We have a special garlic supplement that we take the second we feel like a cold is coming on and well....It knocks it right out in less in a day.

I am so proud of seeing the changes you speak of! Halleluyah!! Way to go Mama!!!

Stumbled upon your channel a few days ago, and have been loving it since. I love your relaxed and honest views and your tips and “secrets” are great. Thank you for sharing all of it ❤

Thanks for the egg peel techniques. Your casual vibe is very refreshing. Parenting is a journey and you have insight as a mom and nurse which is valuable! Home remedies are convenient and effective.

You learn something new everyday.(Thank you) Your salad is beautiful and loving that it was made right there with healthy ingredients. Great video have a wonderful weekend 😊

Just found ur channel today and I had to subscribe.. looks like we are on the same tract.. as I’m a nurse too and this mama is working towards as natural everything as possible! We even just moved and have our chickens and garden started. Thank you for this inspiring video! 💖💖💖

I learned so much from this vlog! Thank you for sharing ❤

Thank you so much for the garlic tip, I had no idea it could be used for ear issues and infections!

You young lady are so smart about things, thank you for your help advice.

A friend of mine with an amazing garden puts fresh nasturtium in her potato salad. It is amazing

I love the advice about the garlic remedy. So amazing! I will definitely try it. Thanks for sharing :)

I love your videos and your personality! I really wish I knew more people like you in my life. I know what you mean about the older kids wanting their independence, I’ve got a nursing baby and then 3 older ones. I definitely feel like you’re a kindred spirit. 🙂

I love your content!!

I wish things like this were taught more often. Great info about earaches by the way.

I love how you do things❤️❤️❤️

Missed your awesome recipes and I love your little tricks that help so much. Im gonna make the mayo soon for sure. I always use relish in my potato salad and in my deviled eggs. Thanks so much for sharing.

That potato salad looks really delicious. :) I've never thought of adding bacon to it. I'll have to try that next time. Thanks for such a sweet, informative video.

My son is 11. He's never had any immunization shots, ever. But.. he suffered with chronic ear infections. He also had tubes. He still gets them. But, I have found what works for him is colloidal silver.

Garlic is one of my favorite things. I add it to almost everything. My 24-year-old had chronic ear infections as well. It was so frustrating to see her suffer with one about every two months until she was around 6 years old. I love the potato salad recipe you made. It looks so good.

Just found your video. ....FANTASTIC. LEARNED SO MUCH. Love your kitchen, your apron, or jumper? Great potato salad, and the MAYO...that is the BEST RECIPE. Thank you for sharing. I have a metal wired basked looks like a chicken and I have plastic eggs in it. NEVER thought of using it for REAL eggs. SUPER. Thank you for sharing. That wooden board you have to push things in bowl. UNIQUE IDEA. AND I had heard about the garlic for ear...thanks for reminding me. one of the BEST VIDEOS.

Oh I missed the other videos, excited to go back and indulge ❤

Amazing! I love your videos. I want to have a farm in the future so I'm learning.

You are totally amazing!!! Love your home and videos❤

Another great video!! So thankful for all that you share! It’s very refreshing! ❤

Hi friend. Good to see you making videos again! I had a miscarriage in October and after I started taking vitex without charting. And like you mentioned, I became the most depressed I have ever been. I finally stopped taking vitex in April and felt relief within a few days. I am certain it's a wonderful herb. It did help me with pms symptoms. I wish i could take it without the depression. Anyway, I appreciate all you do.

I just came across your channel and I have a little one that had ear infections all the time when he was in public school. I ended up pulling him out of public school a couple years ago and since then he has not had one single ear infection, or any major illness like he did, when he was in public school. His asthma has drastically improved as well which is awesome! He has not had any antibiotics since pulling him out of public school. Anytime he has a cold coming on. I always go to natural remedies from things that grow in my garden and they work so much better than any anabiotic he has ever been put on in the past. I will definitely give the garlic a try for earaches for my husband. My husband struggles with ear problems. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us🥰🥰🥰

Thank you for sharing your story on “the things” and their effects! Garlic is a staple for me!

I’ve never heard about the garlic thing before. That’s such a helpful bit of info. I will definitely hold on to that for the future. New subscriber! Love your content!

My first 2 had chronic ear infections so they were on antibiotics all the time---- soooo nice to have learned more about all of it and be able to change that for the next 3 kiddos. Totally with you!! We use a garlic oil for their ears and our last 2 kiddos didn't need antibiotics for ear infections ever-- it's amazing the difference when you skip "the thing in their arm" ;)

Thanks for the hard boiled egg tip!! I will be trying it soon!

Thanks very much for sharing the garlic remedy for earache❤❤❤

This is the first video I have watched of yours. Just the inspiration I wanted. Loved watching u peacefully embracing the homestead activities!💗

My dentist proscribed me some antibiotic's then shortly after I couldn't digest protein for months. After noticing that I use natural ingredients. Also bough 2 medical books from the 1800's.

Lovely to find your channel. I love listening to you talk over the footage, it’s very calming. That potato salad looks delicious. We live on a few acres and I’d love to get a few chickens one day. Fingers crossed! 😊

your Amazing. Thank you and God bless you xx

Soooo happy I found your channel! I have 3 kids and we dont do "the things" either and I have no regrets ❤ thank you for sharing the tip about garlic

Yes! I’ve been making mayo for several months now and I’ll never go back. I actually use olive oil and love it!

Please do more recipes from the garden! So satisfying 👩‍🍳❤

Thank you for the video☺

Love your videos! I just got accepted into nursing school but my heart is in natural remedies. I’m seriously considering opting out of 💉 for my family. FYI, if you don’t have garlic try onion. Learned that from watching Barbara O’Neill’s videos 😉

Such a good mama💗

Yes I put pickle relish in my potato salad just like my mom did! Love it. ❤

The approach towards antibiotics has changed over the last few years. My older kids were prescribed pennicillin each time they had ear infection. My the youngest was not prescribed the antibiotics when ill. Seems the docs had their right conclusions too. Let's be thankful for that, too. Thank you so much for an excellent and so useful film content 🎉❤😊

Garlic is wonderful. I used the garlic oil from capsules for my boys ear infections when they were little, and it worked wonders.

You are a FANTASTIC mother

I love dill pickles/relish with brine in our potato salad

I used to get strep throat every few months and I was always given antibiotics. Until one day I said no more and started doing onion and garlic smoothies with plain water and drink it 3 times a day for a week till the infection passes. Not for those with a weak stomach but it works wonders!

Yes! Dill relish in potato salad.

I do the relish and eggs myself along with some celery..yum

Oooh i love garlic. We take fermented honey garlic all fall and winter, even my littles eat it. Tastes like sweet and sour sauce. Not nearly as hot as traditional raw garlic. So good for you! Also a great tip for pasta, potato even rice dishes, rub a cut clove of garlic around your bowl before adding hot food, adds great flavor with no chunks, and then you can still chop it up for another use if desired!!

I am inspired to make my own mayonnaise, I have never made it before. I will have to pass along n the tip with garlic for when our Grandkids get ear infections. Are oldest always seems to get them, and when younger, he had tubes in his ears. Thank you for sharing. ✨🙏😊

Love your channel

We add pickles chopped up ...my favorite is bread and butter pickles..1/2 of them and 1/2of dill pickles!! Yummy the sweet and salty flavors is so yummy

Love your tip of garlic! Trying to remove toxins in our lives.

Yea great garlic and lava near in ears little works around smokers it stops them from hurting

Azure sells expeller pressed organic canola oil and its GREAT for homemade mayo. Avocado oil is twice the price. Not sure if you are willing to eat seed oils but its at least a super clean version, non gmo and we love it in our mayo!

That potato salad looks super yummy

I am so happy I found your channel, new subscriber here. I was a medical assistant and my children also had a lot of ear infections. I agree that antibiotics don't really work, and I totally agree with all the great benefits of garlic. Thank you, and please continue making these great videos 😊

Yessss!! Pickles always in potato salad :) Love your videos. Thanks for sharing

We sound very similar! I rarely use a recipe, and when I do, I often tweak it or do what I think sounds better lol! We have six kiddos and have never done anything in the arm… not a single antibiotic for any of them in 12 years of parenting. I think there are several factors, but a big one being the arm things… your potatoes look great! Nothing like fresh garden baby potatoes ❤

Hi there! New sub from suggestions and fellow creator. I'm also a nurse of 20 years and grew up homesteading. Yes, I agree, I would have done thing differently as well with the children. Maybe I can pass that onto my children of the knowledge we now have. Bless you! Nice to meet you Eggs: tap the fat end til you hear the crack, you may not see it, and then boil as normal. That will allow the water in and in the cold bath afterwards, the membrane released and they'll peel perfectly Everytime. I used to rely on baking soda trick and it still didn't always work. The tap works ALWAYS! 😊 We use sweet pickles in our salads. We like sweet salad not dill. Even in the deviled eggs.

I grew up eating potato salad with relish, bacon, fresh dill, and boiled eggs!!! Andddd, I started making homemade Mayo this year with our farm fresh eggs, and man ohh man what a difference. I will never go back to store bought.

I always use dill relish and dill juice in my potato salad...delicious

God has blessed us with guidance how to live better and leave allopathy. Im grateful..Im happy for yall

New subscriber! You had me at “ do your research”…since 2020 I’ve been a huge researcher…I like your attitude as well. Refreshing! Looking forward to watching your videos!

Your potato’s look amazing! My brother in law loves relish in his potato salad.

My daughter had tubes at1 1/2 years and after that when here ear hurt we used a bow dryer or heating pad on low , always putting Hands on the blow dryer or heating pad to make sure not to hot , on ear to dry moisture and sometimes dymatap to dry the moisture . But didn’t know that about garlic so I’m sure it works for everyone, the garlic. 😊

All the time 😊

Yes you can boil and peel right fresh hen eggs.add some salt to your water and boil for 15 minutes peels whole every time!

I just found you tonight-- I'm a mom of 10 and 15 grand blessings--- how fun to watch!!

That’s how we make our potato salad in South MS. I prefer dill pickles over bread and butter pickles!! So nice to see someone else make their potato salad this way.

I always wondered what that “faucet-looking” thing was at the backsplash of some stoves, it is like a faucet! Thanks for showing me that, and all the info you provided!!!

love this video! garlic for ear infections, no more jibby jabs, and no recipe following :D yay! i will subscribe.

Love your videos

My third child had to have surgery to repair her ear drum due to chronic ear infections and I'm so angry now that I had no idea back then (she's is 20 now). I'm pregnant with number 8 and have zero intentions to bring her through any of that. I'm learning how to self sustain now. Thank you!

New subscriber...... I had to. You've convinced me to try making mayo. I put it off for YEARS, because every recipe made it sound like you had to add the oil---A DROP AT A TIME. It just sounded like such a production and who has time for that!!!?? I couldn't believe how fast and easy your mayo was. Thank you for this! And the other reason I subscribed----bacon. Yes. ALL THE TIME.

New Subscriber here! Thank you for the video and All things!!

Me too became addicted to making my own mayonnaise 😊

We always put a little bit of sweet relish and potato salad

True about the ear infections n poke in arms. My mom would get vertical n ear infections from flu pokes. I finally said to her to stop getting it yearly.

I'm fascinated by this water faucet at your stove top! Love that! I cook like you most times, just grab stuff and go!

I love relish in my potato salad!
