    About:
    Jason and Lorraine. In 2016 we sold most of our belongings and left the city in southern California to start a small homestead in the mountains of North Carolina. We left the city in search for a more minimal and intentional life. We became passionate about growing our own food and knowing what exactly is in our food after I (Jason) became diagnosed with cancer. Now 8 years in remission we as a family are on a journey to live our passions.
    We document our life on UA-cam videos to inspire others to get out of their comfort zone and not be afraid of change. We started our own online general store where we have available the things we make and use in real life. Thank you for following us on this incredible life changing journey!

    We used to do that & i really liked using a 5 gallon homemade “washer” for the really dirty things. Its just a hole in the top & several holes in the rubber of a plunger - and swish swish - we were off. It was the best for my husbands t-shirts & our socks and things!

    I had to stop using homemade laundry soap because it was messing up my clothes. I live in a hard water area, and if you've seen soap scum on your shower, then you know what was on my clothes. They started not smelling right after drying because stuff was trapped in the fibers and getting an off color too. I also had to clean my machine of the buildup too. So hard water people beware!

Things that you budget for ..etc...Love to see more cooking segments ...with cost per meal. Sharing tips on perseverance, building and struggles. I'm a newer subscriber since this spring 2019.

      Shannon Kerwin I think prices would be different in different parts of the country. It’s easy enough to figure out the costs for your area, since you have the list of ingredients to buy. And it’s easy enough to figure out how many half cups are in this recipe, then just divide.

    I use to make my own but I used Fels Naphtha instead of the castile soap but I suppose that doesn't matter. But since we have a front loader and I need low suds soap I haven't made it because I don't know if I can. I suppose I can make up 5 gallons and try it but if it's not good then I have 5 gallons of soap to get rid of.
