ABOUT
I’m Shayla, an earthy mountain mama to 6 wildlings, & a blessed wife to one since 2004. We’re a big, Jesus loving, God fearing family & we love to laugh! Hubby & I are second generation homeschoolers, & have been homeschooling our children from the start-since around 2009. We were raised unconventionally, and our parents utilized homesteading before it was trendy, and it was a goal and dream of ours to do the same-but it’s only been recently that we have been able to bring this dream to full potential. Last year the Heavenly Father brought to life our dream that we’ve had for over 25 years and enabled us to begin buying a mountain homestead fixer upper, so join us in the adventures and fun here at our new homeschool/homestead! Be sure to subscribe. In 2023 my goal is to upload once a month.

I just watched my first video to your channel just now. I have to say your video has touched me so deeply. I’m amazed of what you shared especially towards the end about that mother who has been struggling. This is why I subscribe to channels like yours because you care and are out to make a positive difference in this world. You are using your channel for good and I really love that. We all need help sometime in our lives and what a wonderful way to do so like you have been. One of my favorites and what made me subscribe is the fact quoting scriptures. When we turn to our savior Jesus Christ he will give us strength and comfort. He promises us that he will send a comforter to us if we follow him.
Thanks again for your kindness and for doing what you do.
i mix equal parts crushed dried eggshells and epsom salt, and put 1 TBSP in each hole before i put the tomatoes in, biggest, healthiest plants ever. and , we did some without for comparison, definite difference
New to your channel…love that radio!!!!
If you’re in survival mode…that’s okay 😢😢😢that hit home. God bless you and your family..❤
I have the moose wood cook book too!
You are amazing… I can definitely relate to you. Keep doing what you are doing!
3:53 Why don't you have rain barrels? This makes life much easier. You can bury a tank of water as large as several hundred gallons and have water for a month or longer
I really want to learn how to make a sourdough starter . Thank you for sharing ❤
Thank you so much for sharing your own experience with us. This video has been a blessing to me, specially bc I’m going through some difficult time in my own life. You reminded me to give to God all my worries and anxieties. 😍🙏💐😘
I hope your doing well, have seen any new posts lately ❤
Loved this video ❤ homeschooling mama of five here, thank you so much for sharing! I would love for you to share some of your favorite audio books for kids homeschooling. I definitely would love to order that radio too, totally my style 😊 you’ve inspired me to hunt down my nourishing traditions book and make that salsa too! Do you ferment your pickles too? I made them for the first time but added way to much pickling spice and that taste like clove 🤦♀️ any tips to fix the flavor or would you toss them to the compost?
I’m 83 yrs old & my Mother use to hang her noodles to dry, on a clothes drying rack!!!👏👏😊
That pasta looks so good. What kind of pasta machine is that? I hope to get one
LOVE LOVE LOVE your channel. Thank you for being authentic. P.S. your kitchen is just perfect.
You are living my dream. I pray every single day that my mini homestead can start to be all that it is envisioned as. It has been so challenging. Thank you for your honesty!
❤❤❤❤
I got that Moosewood cookbook when I first got married in 1984. I have used it for 39 years. Shayla, thank you so much for your sage advice at the end. I sent the video link to my daughter and have encouraged her to watch it. She is in the thick of it right now with two littles under 3 and setting up a new homestead.
I love putting this everywhere because I didn't know and felt bad for throwing them out for so long but you can dry the corn silks and use as a tea for UTI/cystitis and get more out of your harvest 😊
42:17 Just a PSA about the waterproof wallpaper vinyl. I would be concerned that it contains toxic PFAS chemicals. 😬 It might be something you want to look into. Unfortunately they are in most waterproof things. I'm just becoming more aware of them and their ubiquity. Mamavation is a good website with more info on what they are and the harm they can cause. They also get products tested to see if they contain PFAS.
Your kitchen is so beautiful though! I really love your home decor style!
did you do avideo on using leftover to clean out fridge soup
Wonderful encouragement. ❤️ do you happen to have baking instructions & temperature for using the basic sourdough recipe as a regular sandwich loaf?
I think blossom end rot is more likely to be due to inconsistent watering rather than a calcium issue. Do they get enough water on a regular basis?
Thats exactly how I bread my veggies to fry, so much easier n faster, thanks for spreading the world, also u can do it w the egg mixture
When you make pita, or naan flat Bread brush with olive oil then sprinkle with zatar pronounced Zha-tar. Place in toaster oven or regular oven and ground just slight to mi for flavors. It’s excellent. It’s Arminian and middle eastern.
I think women are overwhelmed today with homemaking because as children their mothers weren't homemaking and therefore the training they would have received say as a pioneer or colonial time- woman isn't there. Originally training was done since childhood, taking care of younger siblings, helping manage household chores, routines, etc… now, unless your mother was a homemaking homeschooling mother and raised you to be the same- you're not receiving training. Mother's who raise their children to have the same lifestyle they're raised in, will set their children up for a successful lifestyle. Also, previous generations had multigenerational households. Grandma and Grandpa were still puttering around the house and able to help with monumental tasks such as processing the harvest or popping in with a well placed suggestion. All of the tasks we are trying to do on our own now- are tasks that we were traditionally doing in a "village" setting, with close friends extended families and multiple generations. I grew up in one of those multigenerational homes where I could bounce questions off of my grandparents or aunt or uncles. I wasn't expected to know everything, there wasn't pressure to know everything, there wasn't an internet to scroll through, there wasn't any pressure to be a Pinterest mom… there was just "this is how we do this…" I love watching other moms doing what they were raised doing, when I get a few minutes, it's like our own homemaking soap opera…. which reminds me, I have to break out some soap molds for later tonight.
