Laundry in The Off-Grid Cabin | Slow Postpartum Days
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 січ 2024
- Life is looking a little different right now and we could not be happier about it! Besides the fact that I am ready to be allowed to lift more than 15 lbs..
Levi is out making some money with his Dad for a few days so we are just focusing on what we can get done slow and steady in the cabin! Laundry day is actually oddly fun to me. Satisfying is probably the word for it. If you have ever spent money at a laundromat, it is worth every little piece of clothing to use some water here and get it washed on your own.
Our small washing machine can be found on Amazon!

*Lately, it has been showing up as unavailable but if I find something that is similar and available, I will update this description with it.
I hope this video gives a decent view of how these laundry days are looking for us! I tried to explain how the washer works with my newfound Mom brain so feel free to hit the comments with questions if I missed something on it.
Henry is doing amazing for anyone curious about the little man. He is growing like a weed and is getting to a little more of a routine making our lives a touch easier. Having this little baby has been the best blessing!
We don't currently have any type of registry for him for those who ask, right now we are just out of space in this little cabin but appreciate the thoughts! I also have been getting triple the emails lately so please have patience with us as we try to reply to everyone! We received so many amazing Christmas cards and gifts for Henry that we also appreciate so much. ❤️

I had the same washer for our RV. It was so much better than going to the laundry. Of course I had water source so I always washed, spin, rinse then spin. I was amazed how dirty the wash water was and hubby was just outside but retired. The spinner would nearly dry most items. I suggest washing baby stuff alone in less than 6 gal so you’d have enough to rinse his things too until he gets older but I’m old!! You’re both doing an amazing job and Henry will do great❤️
Here I am over here complaining that I have to walk downstairs to do laundry . I need to learn to be more grateful this year. Bless your heart that is a lot to do for a load of laundry. That washing machine, spinner is awesome. Henry is adorable !!! I love your channel . Thank you for sharing with us. Blessings to you and your family .
Boy if this doesn't make a person appreciate a normal washer and dryer, I don't know what will.
Becca has patience, that's for sure!
I've been washing clothes by hand now for 9 years. I rinse at least 2or3 times and feel that's important to avoid skin rashes which for which I have a tendancy. So you might keep it in mind? I enjoy your videos! 💖💖💖
Blessings to You, Becca! Patience is your virtue, Yyou are doing a great job with this laundry task. Baby is SO Precious~~💙
It is so good to see you and Henry doing well 😊. That's how you get it done 👍👌👏
In England this is called a twin tub, my grandmother bought one in 1967 and it is still going strong. I prefer to spot clean stains and wash in the twin tub rather than a huge washing machine for 1 cycle. Sometimes the old ways really are the best. Rest up little lady, itl soon be spring and you can peg out line after line ❤
I'd love to find one that old! I bet it's awesome. 😊
Your baby is so precious congratulations I will never complain about doing laundry again Lol
We're so impressed with how you take care of all the daily tasks born by a mother living off grid.! Little Henry is one lucky Alaskan baby! Take care and best wishes into the future. Bob and Barb
I hear those washers are good. Definitely comes in handy with the baby. He is so cute.
Wow. What a job. Henry didn’t mind. Be careful stretching. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Very happy to see you and the baby doing laundry together! You are amazing! You are my hero..lol I was telling my daughter how I thought I had a lot of work when she was 6 weeks old LOL not so hard after all. :) God Bless all of you! xo
I still have so much help though! Levi makes sure I rest plenty. 😊
It's the first time I have watched your video and I have enjoyed it.😊
You’re doing so good with this sweet baby love hearing the baby noises you’re a real hard worker and your son and families gonna appreciate it. I’m sure God bless.
Good morning pretty Becca ❤ and beautiful Henry! What a blessing to have that laundry machine. When we first got to our house in September we had power but no water. The next day the city turned it on at the road but we had no hot water. We then found out the hot water tank was bad. We already needed a new roof and furnace and were having a hard time finding someone to take care of it. We finally found a roofer and after asking basically every stranger we met we found someone to do the furnace and hot water tank. We also needed a new dryer outlet but luckily hubby is an electrician! We had to use the laundry mat for a while and it was really expensive and inconvenient having to put everything into the car then into the laundrymat then back out and back into the house lol. The worse part was bathing lol. We would put every pot we had on the stove and also heat in the electric kettle lol just to have a few inches in the tub. But we made it work!
I have the same washing machine and love it
We have snow today 3 inches so far and it is still snowing. I am looking forward to spring so we can start hanging our clothes outside again! I love hanging them outside I find it really relaxing from some reasons. I actually look forward to it! It sure looks like a winter wonderland outside right now!
I'm going to go give my washer/dryer a big kiss!
You could do Henry clothes first, then use the same water to do adult clothes after.
I give you all the praise in the World 🥰🧸 This could never be my life
Congrats on the new babe and Happy New Year!
Looks like all is well on the home front! Glad to you you and baby Henry doing so well. Take care! He’s precious!
I am so glad l have a washer and dryer and room to move around hats off to you not the way l would live
Its good to see you doing well with your healthy baby….may god bless you always….
What is it like having that little one in the house now? Is it more work? I bet you it’s a blessing. It’s God’s blessing. I hope you have a lot of precious memories with that little one. Make an album of all the precious memories with the little one, and enjoy it.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Henry is precious you and Levi must be beyond excited to have him in your life, so happy fir you ALL.. I always look forward to your videos Blessings❤️
I had a washer like that in a rental 40 years ago. It worked great..no plastic tho back then. U look great!! And lil man is so sweet! Good work mama!
Enjoyed the video
Good to see you and Henry are doing ok you are looking well becca take care of yourself👶🏻🍼
You're a pioneer. Great job. All part of the off grid lie I guess and when you think if driving to a laundrymat this alternative is better. When we moved to Anchorage in 1970 we did laundrymats I kissed my first Alaskan set that we bought.❤❤❤
You both look great.
Thank you! The cost definitely adds up just with driving to town for the laundromat too!
@@beccanlevisalaskais it hard to do heavy duty laundry or like jackets or blankets in that small machine or dryer
@carriejames5038 Yes! I end up saving those for the laundromat, or in the summer, I don't mind doing some by hand when I can make a mess outside. 😀
Wonderful seeing you and Henry doing well. We also live off the grid so, totally understand the challenges.
What a wonderful video. Thank you ❤❤
Simply living alaska, you tube has that same wash machine. They did not have running water either into the cabin. You will find a way to make it work.😊
Oh baby Henry is so handsome !!
Becca you are looking great! Good plan for the laundry. Because hauling it to town would such a chore
Laundry is quite a chore for you. Many, many years ago we did our babies laundry separate and used Ivory baby detergent. Don't even know if that exists anymore. Hope you will have a well on your homestead. Henry looks like he is a happy baby.
😊CONGRATULATIONS.
❤I pray he's strong and healthy, as well as both of you.
I envy your strength. 🌸
Love your video Happy new year 🎉❤ Adorable baby 👶
No way could I live like that
Congratulations 🎉 on your guys baby ..your a trooper and just work thru what you know needs doing. This makes for a great mom. Continue to rest ( even though you know you could be doing something else). Its important to have that for your body to heal itself otherwise youll be down indefinitely with a sickness. Enjoy this time as s family. Congratulations again. ❤Your channel newly subscribed
New subscriber ❤love anything Alaska life channels , my grandmother use to live in Juno back in the 80”s
I bet it was so amazing back then!
So nice to have a spinner! Lol i got a heavy duty ringer but it hates buttons!! Lol you do what you have to do!! Make sure you rest when he rests! You look like you are doing great!!❤
I can’t wait till your little one starts running around and playing in the snow. It’s gonna be awesome. I bet you what’s his name
Hang your clothes on hanger to help with space when drying clothes
Love the video. That sweet baby is precious! His little snowsuit ears were flopping as you moved and he was so cute! But please explain where you are living. I get confused. I saw one cabin one time and one the next the day you came home.
We are in the smaller of the two! It's about 200sqft. 😊
Yall look great!
Stay warm!
Where did yall get that electrical pump you used to get the water?!
The automotive section in Walmart!! So handy!!
@@beccanlevisalaska will have to look for it!
I'd melt some of that snow for wash water.
I love how young Mom's are attentive and always have the baby "on" them... but sometimes wouldn't you be better to leave baby in warm cabin... haul your water and be done?
I like my little man with me when I'm home alone, especially. The fresh air is good for him too! 😊
@@beccanlevisalaska just know not judging... just remember the cold WI winters and hauling in wood.... left her inside! I love your videos! Congrats on baby!
What's the temperature inside your cabin. Couldn't even believe it was that hot inside you needed to go outside.
♥️👍
Why don’t you put a water barrel beside the washing machine? I had one just like that when my son was a baby. Worked really good. Your baby is adorable!❤😊
I would loooove that but the cabin is 200sqft and there just isn't room for it. The cabin we are building will have a good water set up though. 😊
@@beccanlevisalaska Just thinking of you and that beautiful baby! Can’t wait to see the new build!!❤️
How can you live like that in a tiny place with a newborn.
I would not wash nothing with Henrys clothes
Hit the wrong button.
The baby looks so uncomfortable in that wrap! 😕
