The adventure to improve our homestead continues this week with a MASSIVE improvement to our outdoor shower set up. This was a special project we've been wanting to tackle for weeks, and best of all it didn't require a single trip to the hardware store or any new purchases ; ) What are some small changes you've made to your living situation that have had the biggest impact?

Omg, I love that you’re learning how to shuffle! I’ve danced all my life. It’s so freeing and a great workout. Keep it up, you’re doing great 💚

I’m so glad you’re gaining some independent with the new shower set up! I will say though… it is normal as a mom to have to ask for help in order to shower 🤣 with 3 kids, I still have to plan them out when my husband is around. So, you’re not alone!

Our Oily House here on KZfaq has great ideas for all you are asking in personal care products. She is amazing the products she make with simple clean ingredients. Also, Mountain Homestead Family, she uses coffee grounds and oatmeal for soap and face cleansers. Just some ideas for you. Dishes, develop a working plan, beginning with a sink full of water just as you begin cooking. As you empty a bowl, wash it while you saute or sear, or boil parts of dinner. If you do the clean up as you go along. Life stays simple. Our Oily House shows you how to make laundry soap and dish soap. She keeps life very simple.💚💚💚

What I do is cut greens with scissors but leave the roots and one or two leaves. Water and usually the plant will regrow. Four years ago my neighbor planted Kale. Could not pull out the roots end of season. Those roots provided us Kale for three years.

I tried out my raw honey as a mask the other day and was surprised how soft my skin got. I had been bummed that I had run out of my favorite store bought mask. But the honey solved it : D I´d like to try egg white hair mask soon. whip up 3 egg whites and put in damp hair for 10 minutes then rinse with shampoo. The wild flowers sound great! Ha it´s becomes so visible that children up to year seven are about copying the adults around them in their actions. That´s how they make sense and learn form their environment right. And since you both are so action based around him he gets lots of inspiration : )

my monthly hair mask for years isssss , egg yolk aloe vera and olive oil mixed together, add a little bit of water to make it more runny for easy apply. (do not put coconut oil in your hair) another great tip is sleeping with a bonnet, has does wonders for my hair which is very similar to yours. hope this reaches you!

I use brown sugar with my regular face cleanser as a scrub and I'm sure it would work as a body scrub, too. I start with about a teaspoon of sugar, and add a smaller than usual amount of the cleanser (I have been using Aquanil for years) so the sugar doesn't completely dissolve. It works great. I like the coffee grounds idea. It would probably work great where you are but I'm not sure about letting it go down the shower drain in my plumbing situation.
