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?

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!

Oh my goodness, what a gorgeous shower set-up! When you first had it supported by the stones, I was a little confused, but as with everything you do, it made perfect sense once complete :) Can’t believe how much Max is talking - he’s going to have his own little segments before we know it 🚜

I love how you both talk with and treat Max. It’s a joy to listen to his sweet voice too. Lou did it yet again! 😃 I could so relate to the disappointing realization that what’s needed to cook is not clean. That part gave me a chuckle 😁

Plant some calendula and lavender for your body products! Also, I think you might like Rudolf Steiner’s work on child development. Maybe take a look at the lectures in the book The Childs Changing Consciousness? I think they’re available online. Anyway, Max is super fortunate to have such lovely parents!

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.💚💚💚

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 : )

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.

woah thats so cool!!! had no idea you could have kale come back like that again and again. need to get some kale seeds asap. thanks so much for the tip sharon :) - Dana

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!

@WildWeRoam Ай бұрын

So interesting, thank you!! I could see the proteins of the egg yolk and the soothing aloe vera and probably hydrating olive oil all playing valuable parts in a hair mask, thank you for sharing!! ❤

you can also mix your coffee grounds with a body butter or even olive oil for a nice scrub

@reneelindemann5542 2 ай бұрын

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.

Oh what a creative idea to add brown sugar to your regular cleanser!! Thank you for that tip!! ❤
