I hope I can start saving for a flour mill. They are so expensive
New subbie🎉❤, I’m all for vintage way of living love love🙏🏾
💕💕🙏🙏
If you're new to bread making, start with yeast, it's easier than using sourdough. Once you have that down, you can try sourdough if you want.
Thank you! This was a lovely video. New sub~!
May I ask the dimensions of your cutting board? Thank you
I still have to buy paper towels for dog puke and cleaning toilets. Can’t use towels for that- grosses me out!
Wonderful video. I love to see these skills being utilized today. Last summer I grew my own vegetables and made my own bread. Today I made chicken soup from scratch and enjoyed it with homemade bread. I grew up in a big city and never saw myself living this lifestyle but it makes so much sense to me now. These basic life skills are so valuable, thank you for sharing. ❤
I’m so glad I found you here today. New subscriber. Thank you!
❤ this video is really informative!
Lovely video!
This is what we need more of in 2025 ❤
Great tips!
I am new member any welcomes 🎉🎉🎉
Plz can you give me the ingredients you made on your clean products
Hi! New subscriber! I love the idea of eating fresh with home made ingredients. I used to have a garden years ago but I wasn’t very good at keeping it.i really love the bread idea! Where did you find the flour mill? I would love to try it! I’m a teacher, so I have loads of time to do these things during the summer. I have a new channel that I’m trying to get going. If you’d like to, please check me out. Have a great Saturday!
Do you use plastic or glass spray bottles? I am trying to find some that are good quality, reusable and hold enough to use in each location of my home.
I use my old stained dish towels , washcloths and hand towels for cleaning. Never have to buy rags.
Make my own healthy mayo with avocado oil with a immersion blender literally takes 2 minutes. My goal is to learn to make sourdough this year. I normally don’t eat bread but I want to learn the skill.
Tip for the kitchen towels…..a wet bag used for cloth diapers works great and keeps them from getting molding if you cant wash daily. I have a hang style bag on the back of door to the basement off my kitchens. Out of site, no smells, no mold. I usually wash them once a week as full time working mom of 3.
There are a ton of perennial herbs.
I want to stop using paper towels to save money, however what do you use to drain bacon or other fats or oils?
You make baking bread look so fun 😊
This week I made ham broth from bone and fat of our ham. This morning, pea soup
Loved this video and your ideas. I never use paper towels at all. You mentioned something you can get from Amazon. Here is my Amazon rule. If the only place you can get a certain something is on Amazon, I just will not buy it.
I use maybe 4 rolls of paper towels a year, just for bathroom cleaning. We went to old towels as cleaning rags years ago. (To save $$ & environmentally better)
But we don’t use the microfiber ones because they leave microplastic in our water and are terrible for the environment.
Old school skills are for anyone who want to learn and hone those skills regardless if you are urban/city, suburban or rural. These skills save you $$$ after any initial $ output, are healthier and just all around satisfying once it clicks and becomes a habit.
I pay $11.99 for farm eggs from PA, I live in NYC 😭
My first video! Subscribed!😄
5$ a dozen is cheap for eggs.
Thank you for this great video and encouragement! I also ditched paper towels years ago and make my own coffee. I haven’t made my own creamer yet. Do you have any tips for that? I wonder how long your homemade creamers can last in the fridge❤ I still buy them and I’m
Sure they’re not good for me 🤪
Such great tips! I love how timeless and practical these money-saving ideas are. Definitely need to try making more at home and reducing consumption!
Look how ORANGE those yolks are! I miss having chickens!
I just found your channel. I love your tips, and as I watch I see that you are making many healthy and environmentally friendly choices. Homemade cleaners, cooking in Cast iron, making foods yourself, foregoing paper towels. Kudos to you for these choices. Then I see the stack of microfiber towels. These are so bad for our environment and our own health as they shed micro plastics when used, washed and even touched. We breathe them in, they are absorbed by our bodies in many different ways and are thought to never leave our system. I learned so much from a channel by the name of Yvonne Burkart, PhD about dangerous toxins in our homes. She has very informative videos. I know we cannot control all exposure to daily toxins but after watching some of her videos last night, I will be getting rid of all microfiber today. I am a new subscriber as I love this first video and look forward to more. My best to you.
I agree! I live the modern suburban life, but I still love dabbling in old-school skills like: container gardening (they died so maybe I'm not winning any awards yet 🤷🏻♀️😅), buying fresh from local farmers, baking up all things sourdough, and hanging delicate laundry to dry., Cooking from scratch, coffee at home (coffee from out is nasty and cold—HOT coffee is the only way 😅).
Traditional tasks I’m happily SKIPPING—hand-washing ALL laundry, hanging up every.single.item like it's the early 1900s; making lunch&snacks (everyone knows how to slap together a sandwich & grab some fruit for snacks).
What I'd like to explore: fresh-milled grains.
Thanks for all the great tips❤
Not only do these skills help save money, but they are also so much better for the environment. I've switched from paper towels to actually towels, too. I'm going with cloth napkins next.
I love my Dr Bronners soaps. Lisa Bronner has written a book Soap and Soul, has many recipes in there. There's a soft scrub recipe that I just love. All non toxic. I found a refill store locally and I also utilize them as well. Like you, I don't use a bunch of cleaners.
Home made food saves you tons of money! Much harder an time but it pays off! It’s not hard to learn just got be willing to learn!
Use a wide mouth jar for your starter.
Once the skills are honed, so much joy can come from them, too. They may take more time, but it brings more peace than scrolling or watching a show.
