How to be a fulfilled homemaker on a small budget. If I can do it, you can do it too.
Welcome to my channel! I'm Fallon, and at 28 I left my career in communications to become a homemaker. I realized quickly some of the challenges of being a single-income family in a time when inflation was at an all-time high, and I wanted to share my learning with other homemakers, and hopefully learn from them, too!
I give my whole self - mind, body, and soul - to my vocation, which inspired the name for this channel. I also cook a lot of whole foods, make as much of our food, clothes, and products from scratch as I can, and dabble in minimalism.
On my channel, you'll find simple recipes, tips, and reflections on the vocation of homemaking.
Thank you for watching, and I can't wait to meet you!

Quick and easy spring recipes 2024 (Easter leftover recipes!)
SPRING RECIPES 2024
It is officially spring, thank goodness, and I have been using a lot more fresh ingredients in the kitchen. These two quick and easy spring recipes are golden; they come together in about 20 minutes and they both use leftovers as a main ingredient. I honestly probably wouldn’t have used the ham bone or the leftover mashed potatoes (they were a bit dry after a couple days in the fridge) unless I had these specific Easter leftover recipes.
I think that this year is an exceptionally difficult time to indulge in our favorite spring recipes. 2024 has unfortunately seen all-time high prices on groceries, and the first things to go up in price are those that perish most quickly (typically the ingredients we think about as “spring ingredients” - fresh greens, fresh cheeses, spring vegetables, strawberries).
I was happy that these two recipes use budget-friendly ingredients as the main staples, but have a bit of a spring kick from the vegetables and the fresh herbs.
What are your favorite quick and easy spring recipes, especially recipes that are budget-conscious? I’m always looking for inspiration.
Thank you for watching Whole Homemaking! Wishing you and your family a happy Easter, and I hope you can take the opportunity to use these Easter leftover recipes!

CHEAPEST MEALS IN 2024 | Authentic lentil-potato tacos with fresh salsa
มุมมอง 10310 หลายเดือนก่อน
Allow me to present to you, your new favorite cheapest meal in 2024: AUTHENTIC LENTIL-POTATO TACOS. Before you knock it, let me up my street cred: I lived for two years in rural Mexico, and saw a lot of little-known Mexican dishes. These lentil-potato tacos would be classified as what you’d call a guisado, or a main dish/stew. Many little stands on the street would sell several different guisad...

CLOTH DIAPERS VS. DISPOSABLE DIAPERS PROS/CONS In this video, I discuss my experience with cloth diapers vs disposables so far.

Simple Sourdough for Beginners | $0.40/Loaf | Cheap Easy Sourdough Bread Recipe

When I started making sourdough bread, I found myself asking, “why is sourdough so complicated?!” If this is the method that’s been used since the dawn of bread, why can’t I find a simple sourdough recipe for beginners?

$0.50/LOAF | How To Make Bread to Save Money on Groceries
มุมมอง 1.2Kปีที่แล้ว
If you are TIRED of paying $5 for a single loaf of bread, today at Whole Homemaking we are showing you how to make bread to save money in your own kitchen. With five ingredients and about 15 minutes of hands-on time, you can make cheap homemade bread that works out to about $0.50 per loaf. I get really discouraged and frustrated sometimes when I’m walking through the grocery store and trying to...
I think the cloth option is the best way to go to be honest. I know some people are squeemish, but either way, they will still have to deal with poop, no escaping that as a parent. Thinking of the money you can save, and protecting your baby's skin makes it really worthwhile.
One more pro for cloth diapers is that they're more sustainable. They're usually made with materials that degrade better, other than the outside layer. And while you have to wash them regularly and that uses up energy and water, it by no means weighs up to all the disposable diapers that end up in a landfill. Not to mention all the pollution from producing and transporting tons of boxes of disposable diapers. Most people I know find a convenient middle ground like you where they use cloth diapers most of the time and disposable diapers for occasionally overnight and on the go.
Thanks this was super helpful!
40 dolars for 20 diapers?! That's SO cheap!!!!
We tried this recipe ❤ it was delicious
Is there anyway to get around having to double wash the diapers or is that always required?
@@Ella-vated Actually if your baby is young enough to be exclusively breast fed, you can just toss them right into the washer! But I’ve found the two washes is key if your baby is into solid food.
Great informative video 😊
I strongly recommend doing a cloth diaper in the newborn stage as well Newborns need diaper change 10-12 times every 24 hours The newborn diapers are so cute as well! I just did it, and my baby is 2.5 months now I have needed booster inserts recently as the baby pees bigger amounts, especially over night
I miss your videos ❤ hope all is well
I agree with others for not flushing those disposable liners. I don’t use them cause my baby is 100% breast fed and it all comes out of the wash no stains. I also don’t use them cause I feel it goes against my whole point of not using any waste. I also use cloth wipes. Both cloth wipes and diapers save a metric butt ton of money. I also use the pocket cloth you use, but I use prefold angel-wing with a Snappi closure and bamboo pocket insert laid in the diaper cover. She’s gone 8 hrs no leaks. I find that way of diapering to have the least leaks cause you’re full cloth and then the shell/cover has the double gusset. I’m sure you’re past the point of needing any of that, but I found that to be the best longer timed diaper. I will also use two pocket inserts if she’s going longer than 2 hours for the pocket diapers. So far, it’s been a breeze dealing with it, and Esembly’s laundry/diaper detergent has worked.
Thanks a lot for the comments! Yes, being 100% breast fed makes things so much easier. I appreciate the tips, too, I'm expecting our next baby in November and want to keep cloth diapering, even younger!
How do you make your homemade detergent??🙈 new mama coming soon! Learning pros and cons for cloth diapers!
Congratulations! Sorry for my late reply here. I have been using the homemade detergent more and more and I love it. This is the recipe I used, so simple - I got all the ingredients at my supermarket. I hope it helps! thefrugalgirls.com/2012/09/homemade-laundry-detergent-powder-big-savings.html
I have never heard of Cloth for a Cause! that's amazing that you were able to find such an organization
They are fantastic and need more recognition!! ❤
Are you able to post approximate amounts you used to make and how many portions? I’d love to try this but have a large family of 7
Hello! Of course! I'll try to remember! I used: -2 large potatoes -1/2 cup dry lentils -3-4 cups of broth in total I would say this made 4 good sized portions - so maybe double for a family of 7! Salsa: -4 medium tomatoes -1 onion -2 cloves of garlic -handful of cilantro Made a large store-size jar of salsa. Thank you very much for watching ❤
Hi, there are special diapers for night time, they’re fully made of cotton (and hemp, for more absorbency) then you just add a waterproof cover, and you’re done. You can also add boosters if you want, so you’ll get about 10h-12h without leaks. And don’t flush the liners, even when they’re biodegrable they won’t In water. If there’s no poop you can actually pu5 them on the washing machine and reuse a few times. 😊
Thanks a lot for the tips! I appreciate it!
Don’t flush your liners! After time they build up in the septic tank and cause major issues. 😖
Thank you for the tip!
Yes! No worrying about running out of diapers is turkey amazing! ❤ Getting ready to cloth diaper my 3rd babe. ☺️
I remember those babies on hip days while trying to make meals. The meals looked yummy!!
Thank you very much!!
That chowder looked great.
You're a Maritimer at heart!
Hi Fallon You have a pretty name. Food looks delicious. Where abouts in NB are you? I'm just off of Hwy 8 half way between Fredericton and Miramichi TFS Happy Easter.
Happy Easter! We're in Southern New Brunswick. So glad other New Brunswickers are watching!
This looks so good Fallon!! Looking forward to trying it :) About how long do you usually broil the tomatoes and onions for to get them toasty and cooked?
Thank you Sister Angela!! If you have them right under the broiler, I would check them every 3-4 minutes. When they're blackened on one side, turn them over or move them around to get the other sides toasty too. 😊
I do find these recipes very useful. Thank you 😊
I'm so glad! Thank you for commenting!
Everything looks so good.
Thank you! I'm glad you think so!
My favorite is another lentil dish - lentil and shredded carrot wraps. Saute both with spices and a bit of tomato paste and water, and add to a wrap with some lettuce and spicy mayo (sriracha, mayo, lime juice) - so quick and tasty!
Oh my gosh. That sounds amazing. I'm going to try tomorrow!! Thank you!
I love your calm, soothing tone. This was very informative - thanks for taking the time to show every step involved !
You're welcome, Kathryn!! I'm so glad you liked it!
Love this Fallon! Batch cooking is definitely the way to go! We love making a big soup and another big dish on Sunday to have for lunches and dinners during the week. The best way to cook on a budget and make sure you use everything in the fridge!
Linds, thank you for watching!! I'm so glad you liked it. Great idea about the soup. Sourdough bread goes GREAT with soup... 🥖 🤌🏼
so many great ideas! I would like to learn how you make your bone broth.
heyy thank you for the thorough break down! Nice video I really like your big sister energy, you feel so relatable. More mama content please, I got my first one due in 3 months so you surely have a new fan!
Adrienne, thank you so much! I'm the oldest of 3 sisters, so I guess the big sister energy comes through 😅 I also checked out your profile - so so cool. I'm also an adult convert after spending several years following new age/modern practices. God is so good. Thank you for watching and I'll definitely make some more mama content, and a bone broth video. Bone broth soups are really really good for postpartum (and anytime).
Can you share where you got the disposable diaper liners and cloth diapers?
Hello! Yes, of course. Here's the *disposable liners* : www.amazon.ca/KaWaii-Baby-Flusable-Biodegradable-Unscented/dp/B08B369CXL/ref=sr_1_4_sspa?crid=1JW1ETX9PJOR6&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.LAu7jU-DolFsDOdTqLdYrlR2BRV6z3ausfVA0CLGj6NVi3wR3Bru0rJUncSEgkmQAAAy1YjSNq3_1s7zS9aqT0f252hSL2ms91hD7L8_565UBCERhBlXmXiv6E-v8tKI_ev8UZz7T4SCWhqISlsMEibq28Kd4fDGuarVFiZEXyO-vvnSI_IIQOrXsiZ4GcqgK2FtpL8z0Q4U7bojcsOUB51kr32LJTjpTNbe5Z8G0AObtRgU3rNamHLJ9YMslPH8zcDDr7ZUf4QpQfAImq_JrHn_vRU-7lMxTr0HHornooM.i2Brz1c8EeZaHD1BpdlD0y7uWjCvjCrAyI-mA6b_9fE&dib_tag=se&keywords=cloth+diaper+liners&qid=1710544232&sprefix=cloth+diaper+liners%2Caps%2C221&sr=8-4-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1 Here's the *pocket diapers* , although, I recommend you check Facebook marketplace. We got a set of 12 of these same diapers (very gently used) for $25 CAD. www.amazon.ca/Start-Value-Pack-Double-layer-Waterproof/dp/B07YSB8P7K/ref=sr_1_9?crid=25EK5LVL3037C&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.6K_GIIWsoSy2Ikj_YqKlqHA9l2MnfBkF1Y0GUkRzerzspqjdEaAmBI4P672AEDcS0mb4Zss-BFjQHDHZUBiFpN8kHsS7-MQQzfPaJq53ap3883h5XiucKj5Q5-mM_N-LghhmFpL1ArXqRbKd1nv3huhimtx4Wo3BErHgKlYB3TElFiPvN9kV4JqIFsyYW4xoaONVMikDB00DPN4hD2bR5V70ObMYbWtV4pHFCEACtbwXXZGoRoE4vhap-8x8bhEUKjXQyPJHpV662XQWk3xSzhC6K7MuktdL9xWzgH7S_yI._8qEGCDGVsJk_66VjziqPrAqf8T3HLkSy3fu5j7SyBE&dib_tag=se&keywords=kawaii+baby+cloth+diapers&qid=1710544358&sprefix=kawaii%2Caps%2C108&sr=8-9 We use a *few different types of inserts* , they came from here: www.greenmountaindiapers.com/collections/prefolds-and-flats. I found the best ones are the "flats" - aka just a big sheet of absorbent cotton. They're very economical, and during the first few months of our daughter's life when we didn't cloth diaper, we used them as burp rags and they were the best I've found. I hope that helps!! Thank you for watching!
Hi from PEI! I was excited to find out you make videos now. I would love a video on staying on budget with homemake. ❤ I'll be getting some starter this weekend and I'm looking forward to getting back into bread making. June-Marie C.
Hi June-Marie! So nice to hear from you! That's a great idea for a video, I'll get on that. God bless you!
Fallon!!! I have an 11 month old :) wish you lived close by!
Emily, that's amazing! Bless you! I'll connect on FB! ❤
You make it look so simple, even with your baby on your hip. ❤️ Love it! Keep up the great work!!
This is great Fallon! Wish I had used cloth diapers when mine were little. Maybe if I had had your videos to watch to inspire me I wouldn’t have been afraid to make the leap!!
Thank you very much for your encouraging comments, Jodi! Cloth diapers seem to be having a bit of a "moment" right now, they're coming back into vogue. Maybe your daughters-in-law will be interested!
Using toilet paper as a liner is genius. Especially when your baby is eating solids and has a predictable poop schedule, so you only need to add a liner once a day 😆
You are a genius. Thank you. I'm going to try that!
Did you try using the paper? Did it work?
Thanks..new sub here in NYS...
Welcome! I think that means New York state... If so, we love it there! We were in western NY a month ago, now tempted to move there 😅
Love simple cooking. Will have to try tuna melts. All looks delicious. 😋 You must be from the East Coast. 🤔 I'm guessing from the milk carton. I'm in NB
I'm so glad you liked it! And yes, you got it - I'm in New Brunswick too! So funny. Part of the reason I started this channel was because so many of the budget TH-camrs I was watching were all in the US, where groceries are so much cheaper. Canadian grocery prices make things even more challenging... But not impossible 😉
Chicken on the crock pot....never thought of that but sure looks good...
It's the dawn of civilized cooking!
So inspired!
Thank you Kaffy ❤

Yay! There's sooooo much info out there on sourdough. Thanks for making this so simple; very helpful for beginners!
So glad you liked it, Betsy! ❤
This loaf was given to my family from fallen and it was so delicious 😋
I wish you all the success. They say the hardest part it starting. Your bread looks great. I’ve been making bread for a while as a treat but I really want to make it a regular thing for $ saving and it’s just better. My problem is I work full time and I’m figuring out timing so I have lovely fresh bread every other day for breakfasts, work lunches and sometimes an addition to dinners. Have the best day ❤
Thank you so much. I totally hear you - I love to make sourdough as well (even cheaper and better for you) but the timing part can be really tricky. I love your channel by the way - such beautiful projects!!
I’m so glad I found this me and my mom are gonna start making bread and selling them around
I'm glad too! Great idea. Homemade bread is ALWAYS popular!
