A Day in the Life: Homeschooling in a Cozy Cabin!
This is a Day in our Life on our homestead. We are homeschooling our four children from our cabin in the woods. We are usually to town at least once a day for one of our kids activities but today we were completely off and at home. I wanted to show you what we get up to and how we school our kids. We do use curriculum but my kids are learning more than that. They learn about farming ginseng, gardening, animal care, baking, etc. Thank you for watching and don't forget to like and subscribe!

    Fun Fact: "modern" stoves cannot choke out a fire by sealing air intake. EPA requirements can only be met if the burn is always oxygen rich, so newer stoves are designed with air bleeds, so the intake(s) CANNOT be sealed off to snuff the fire. Outrageous but true. GOV at its ...usual.

      @@axesandaprons I wanted to build my own wood stove. I'm an engineer and know ins & outs of thermal reactors. I designed mine like a sealed unit. The steel of the stove and flue were contiguous. The door was a flange seal that could be sealed with bolts and a speed wrench. Zero air in. Zero leaks in the flue pipe, all the way to the top. I tested it. Kills the fire dead, but it does pollute during cool down. Then I bought a Jotul 602. Great little "legal" stove, but "car with no brakes". How many are like that, now? ALLUVUM.

    Time and money are probably the biggest things that cause new homesteaders to quit. There's a lot of upfront costs and everything takes longer to do than you think it will. Another major reason people quit is the bugs. I've done some homesteading before, but my current homestead is more intense than the previous and I've never been so covered in itchy bugbites in my life!! I can 100% see some people quitting because of the insects.

    How many times a week are you leaving your homestead to do other activities? How do you find the balance of getting out of the home, while still getting everything done on the homestead? I personally struggle with this. Either I’m gone too much and homesteading gets neglected, or I’m home so often I get called a homebody by my social circle. Lol

    • @axesandaprons
      @axesandaprons 24 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I’m a loner at heart, truly. But I’m out of the house every day for something. My kids are involved in activities so I’m “forced” to leave! I also volunteer at a horse barn and our entire family rides there. So we get out a lot but I promise everyday I’m thinking about what can we give up some can get more done at home (homesteading or homeschooling). Also, another fair point is that I have only one big kid. She’s a huge help but she is a young girl and not as strong yet so she mostly helps with siblings (which is huge for me). My others are all under 7 and they need me too so I’m constantly doing the balancing act!

  • @jamiec4392

    Time is a huge factor. This is year two for us, and I’ve learned this lesson well. I thought we could both work full time, have a big garden, do all the preserving, keep chickens, and keep up with the property maintenance. It’s possible if you never rest, but if your job is physically demanding, it’s really tough. I think you got it right. One person needs to only work part time to be able to not burn out. Thanks for your videos! I really enjoy watching them and appreciate your candor.

    Mice generally do not have babies in the ground but moles do. In either case, the babies are called "pinkies". Since the nest was disturbed like that, the mom most likely not come back and the pinkies will die. If you have chickens or turkeys, they love to eat them. Such is the circle of life.
