I am honestly flattered that I found this channel. You are real!! I respect your raw honestly in everything that you are accomplishing. Motherhood is hard work. Let alone homesteading and keeping it real! This channel is unique on it's own. You are not trying to perfect your daily tasks. Life has enough challenges. Thank you for being real with yours. You are showing the truth behind homesteading. It's dirty, messy, and never ending. If we don't work. We don't eat. I'm watching this video and enjoying the simplicity through the entire post.....
You make everything that you do look so easy! Here’s a tip that you might find helpful. Years ago I had an organic garden. Someone told me a super easy way to grow potatoes that really works. Have a patch of dirt without weeds, lay your seed potatoes on top -DON’T DIG- cover them with at least foot deep of straw. As the potato vines grow you may need to add more straw, but I never did. The idea is to keep the sunlight from reaching the potatoes. The vines will grow through the straw and hold it in place. When the vines die simply roll back the dead vines and straw. Voilà! There are all of your big, beautiful, clean potatoes. No digging. No cut potatoes. It was so much fun, it was like Christmas morning. This does not work for sweet potatoes, only white potatoes.
All that you do is amazing. So glad I found this channel! :) As a current nursing student, I would love to learn more from you about all the natural lifestyle modifications you've made!
Whenever I had an ear infection as a child, my mum put a clove of garlic cut up in a table spoon then added a little bit of olive oil and heated it up or rather let it boil on the fire, then let it cool off and dropped a few drops in my ear and the infection was gone. My mom used a lot of natural remedies like this one.
So raw, honest and genuine. It’s one thing to be on social media and share your opinions/ideas but it’s another thing to actually state the scientific facts of it. I’m so so so entirely grateful I’ve found your page. Sending so much appreciation and love.
New subscriber! Glad I found your channel! My MIL taught me the garlic trick 20+ years ago when my oldest ones were little and although I thought I was pretty open to natural ways, I was scared to try it because I just thought it sounded weird to put raw garlic inside an ear lol. But when I finally tried it, it really did work! I've been on a journey of learning natural health since then. I'm now a certified holistic nutritionist, herbalist, and wellness coach!
I found your channel last night I’m trying to learn how to make sourdough bread ! I love your videos. So many people are taking charge of there families health now & going back to the old ways . We have a 30 year old daughter ,she has a 7 year old & we started over in our older age & have a 5 year old daughter with Down syndrome. She stopped talking after her 2 year vaccines!! After researching & working myself in health care for many years i realize the corruption around it all . She has no longer been vaccinated. I homeschool her & take a total holistic approach & she’s so smart & healthy compared to the other kids we know with DS. I’m learning to garden, prep, & hopefully I’ll learn more from you & how to make sourdough bread ! Thanks for your videos .
Excellent advice about the garlic! It’s crazy to me that you were a nurse and were never taught about the side effects of those things. Good for you for doing your own research!
It is crazy that they don't teach that, but they don't. I know a lot of doctors and nurses and not only were they not taught those things, but they also only spent about one week of school on nutrition and it was just an overview. Yet nutrition is the basis of all health.
My grandmother would warm up olive oil then put slices of fresh garlic . She would then dip a cotton ball in the solution and put it in my ear.. it always worked . I used it for my own children.
I grew up in Northern Virginia - My mother and grandmother always used pickles or relish (dill) , and mustard in their potato salad. That's how I learned to make it, and still do today. I also use bacon in mine, too. Your recipe is very similar to mine. I totally agree with you about making your own mayonnaise - SO much better!
Nobody got tubes in the sixties when I was a kid. I believe it about the garlic. We have a special garlic supplement that we take the second we feel like a cold is coming on and well....It knocks it right out in less in a day.
Just found your video. ....FANTASTIC. LEARNED SO MUCH. Love your kitchen, your apron, or jumper? Great potato salad, and the MAYO...that is the BEST RECIPE. Thank you for sharing. I have a metal wired basked looks like a chicken and I have plastic eggs in it. NEVER thought of using it for REAL eggs. SUPER. Thank you for sharing. That wooden board you have to push things in bowl. UNIQUE IDEA. AND I had heard about the garlic for ear...thanks for reminding me. one of the BEST VIDEOS.
I've done the garlic for ear infections as well. It's wonderful! I've just come across your channel, and looking forward to watching more! Thank you for all you share!
Great video. The potatoe salad looks yummy I just love how it went from the outside to the table. Thank you for showing us what you do and how to make mayonnaise from scratch that's pretty awesome. I hope you and your family enjoyed your night. Blessings ☝🏾🙏🏾
Thanks for another great video! The garlic tip and the explanation of what's causing earaches was so great. I appreciate you boldly speaking about this and educating others. Love your content.
I used to get strep throat every few months and I was always given antibiotics. Until one day I said no more and started doing onion and garlic smoothies with plain water and drink it 3 times a day for a week till the infection passes. Not for those with a weak stomach but it works wonders!
I didn’t not appreciate the size of your pigs until I saw one of them at the beginning of this video! They’re massive!! Those must be the pigs your kids’ raise for the fair, which makes it that much more impressive what they accomplish!
Kinda funny to me that some people get indignant about natural remedies…I mean, it’s not like antibiotics have been around forever, somethings were actually used before them, right? 🤷♀️
That’s how we make our potato salad in South MS. I prefer dill pickles over bread and butter pickles!! So nice to see someone else make their potato salad this way.
My lifestyle has greater changed also. With my older kids I did like you did. My oldest son got tubes twice. Now, my youngest 2 children have never had ear infections. We are raising them more natural. I can see a huge difference! ❤
Hi there! New sub from suggestions and fellow creator. I'm also a nurse of 20 years and grew up homesteading. Yes, I agree, I would have done thing differently as well with the children. Maybe I can pass that onto my children of the knowledge we now have. Bless you! Nice to meet you Eggs: tap the fat end til you hear the crack, you may not see it, and then boil as normal. That will allow the water in and in the cold bath afterwards, the membrane released and they'll peel perfectly Everytime. I used to rely on baking soda trick and it still didn't always work. The tap works ALWAYS! 😊 We use sweet pickles in our salads. We like sweet salad not dill. Even in the deviled eggs.
Hi friend. Good to see you making videos again! I had a miscarriage in October and after I started taking vitex without charting. And like you mentioned, I became the most depressed I have ever been. I finally stopped taking vitex in April and felt relief within a few days. I am certain it's a wonderful herb. It did help me with pms symptoms. I wish i could take it without the depression. Anyway, I appreciate all you do.
You learn something new everyday.(Thank you) Your salad is beautiful and loving that it was made right there with healthy ingredients. Great video have a wonderful weekend 😊
The approach towards antibiotics has changed over the last few years. My older kids were prescribed pennicillin each time they had ear infection. My the youngest was not prescribed the antibiotics when ill. Seems the docs had their right conclusions too. Let's be thankful for that, too. Thank you so much for an excellent and so useful film content 🎉❤😊
This, my kids are ever hardly prescribed antibiotics by their pediatricians I have 3 kids and only 1 has ever used them due to a pretty bad UTI that turned into a kidney infection, their pediatrician are not holistic but they are conservative on the overuse of medication and antibiotics, not all pediatricians push antibiotics and unnecessary medications.
Wow what a God sent this was. My son just experienced his first ear infection and I’ve also just starting looking into natural remedies. This was definitely the encouragement I needed to keep researching and growing my knowledge base so thank you for that !
Just found ur channel today and I had to subscribe.. looks like we are on the same tract.. as I’m a nurse too and this mama is working towards as natural everything as possible! We even just moved and have our chickens and garden started. Thank you for this inspiring video! 💖💖💖
Putting salt in the bath water and swimming in the sea/ocean is also good to prevent ORL complications. After the bath, you must lay your head one side and then the other side and it will drain all the crap you have in your ORL system.
That's a good idea about the garlic. What we do for our ears, is use a homemade ear rinse. My husband has issues when he gets water in his ears, so every night after a shower, he puts a mixture that he made, 1/2 Apple Cider Vinegar and 1/2 alcohol. He has a squirt bottle ( a bottle that Sriracha came in - of course we washed it out really, really good) he fills that with the 1/2 and 1/2 mixture and uses it every night, just tilts his head, puts a drop in, then tilt his head and dumps it out. Its sort of like a homemade swimmers ears concoction :) BUT I've noticed that even when I get the first signs of any kind of sinus infection or head cold, I wash my ears out with it and it seems to nip it in the bud. For an ear ache , I would use this mixture and then warm up some coconut oil and put it in and then a cotton ball. Momma use to use sweet oil when I when young, but coconut oil is antibacterial, anti-fungal and antimicrobial. Hope this is helpful. I really enjoy your channel.
Stumbled upon your channel a few days ago, and have been loving it since. I love your relaxed and honest views and your tips and “secrets” are great. Thank you for sharing all of it ❤
That potato salad looks really delicious. :) I've never thought of adding bacon to it. I'll have to try that next time. Thanks for such a sweet, informative video.
Garlic is one of my favorite things. I add it to almost everything. My 24-year-old had chronic ear infections as well. It was so frustrating to see her suffer with one about every two months until she was around 6 years old. I love the potato salad recipe you made. It looks so good.
Azure sells expeller pressed organic canola oil and its GREAT for homemade mayo. Avocado oil is twice the price. Not sure if you are willing to eat seed oils but its at least a super clean version, non gmo and we love it in our mayo!
My third child had to have surgery to repair her ear drum due to chronic ear infections and I'm so angry now that I had no idea back then (she's is 20 now). I'm pregnant with number 8 and have zero intentions to bring her through any of that. I'm learning how to self sustain now. Thank you!
Love your videos! I just got accepted into nursing school but my heart is in natural remedies. I’m seriously considering opting out of 💉 for my family. FYI, if you don’t have garlic try onion. Learned that from watching Barbara O’Neill’s videos 😉
I ran out of fresh lemons for my mayo and substituted apple cider vinegar as per different recipes I found. Also, light olive oil is great, as long as it's the light one.
I grew up eating potato salad with relish, bacon, fresh dill, and boiled eggs!!! Andddd, I started making homemade Mayo this year with our farm fresh eggs, and man ohh man what a difference. I will never go back to store bought.
Chiropractor was the trick for my littles with ear infections! Just a couple adjustments is all it took 🙌🏻 A few of my babies were adjusted as newborn and we didn’t have ear infections-we had moved a couple times while my oldest son was a baby and I didn’t find trusted chiro so never went and he had nonstop infections antibiotic’s etc. and one day it hit me🤦🏻♀️ he never got adjusted -two adjustments and he never had another🙌🏻 I LOVE RELISH IN POTATO SALAD-sadly my husband doesn’t like pickles Or basically green food🤦🏻♀️🤷♀️🤪 I just add it on top of my serving Doing boiled eggs Instapot has become my favorite way for fresh eggs! Always make extras as one or two usually bust open🤷♀️but the shells just slip right off🙌🏻
New subscriber...... I had to. You've convinced me to try making mayo. I put it off for YEARS, because every recipe made it sound like you had to add the oil---A DROP AT A TIME. It just sounded like such a production and who has time for that!!!?? I couldn't believe how fast and easy your mayo was. Thank you for this! And the other reason I subscribed----bacon. Yes. ALL THE TIME.
My dentist proscribed me some antibiotic's then shortly after I couldn't digest protein for months. After noticing that I use natural ingredients. Also bough 2 medical books from the 1800's.
Medical books from the 1800s? Dude come on...they used to think bloodletting and miasma were real. Denouncing modern medicine as a whole over a few issues is insanity and makes you stupid as hell. Does old stuff work, like garlic in the ear? Yes. Does modern medicine do stuff like ROBOTIC BRAIN SURGERY????? Also yes. It's not all the devil. Don't be a brainwashed idiot
Thanks for the egg peel techniques. Your casual vibe is very refreshing. Parenting is a journey and you have insight as a mom and nurse which is valuable! Home remedies are convenient and effective.
That mayo recipe is the same one I use and makes *almost* a whole quart, technically 3 cups but mine whips up to almost 4 So it looks like you added about 1.5 cups-2 cups in your yolks For anyone who wants a "recipe" But be courageous- potato salad is forgiving and being daring is what makes a cook into a chef!
I love your videos and your personality! I really wish I knew more people like you in my life. I know what you mean about the older kids wanting their independence, I’ve got a nursing baby and then 3 older ones. I definitely feel like you’re a kindred spirit. 🙂
My first 2 had chronic ear infections so they were on antibiotics all the time---- soooo nice to have learned more about all of it and be able to change that for the next 3 kiddos. Totally with you!! We use a garlic oil for their ears and our last 2 kiddos didn't need antibiotics for ear infections ever-- it's amazing the difference when you skip "the thing in their arm" ;)
True about the ear infections n poke in arms. My mom would get vertical n ear infections from flu pokes. I finally said to her to stop getting it yearly.
I just came across your channel and I have a little one that had ear infections all the time when he was in public school. I ended up pulling him out of public school a couple years ago and since then he has not had one single ear infection, or any major illness like he did, when he was in public school. His asthma has drastically improved as well which is awesome! He has not had any antibiotics since pulling him out of public school. Anytime he has a cold coming on. I always go to natural remedies from things that grow in my garden and they work so much better than any anabiotic he has ever been put on in the past. I will definitely give the garlic a try for earaches for my husband. My husband struggles with ear problems. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us🥰🥰🥰
My son is 11. He's never had any immunization shots, ever. But.. he suffered with chronic ear infections. He also had tubes. He still gets them. But, I have found what works for him is colloidal silver.
That’s right! Garlic does work for eachaches. It also works for clogged nose when you catch a cold. I also recommend geranium leaf for earache. You fold it and you put it in your ear, not too deep. My great grandma would sometimes walk around with the leaf in her ear and she was using it for earache. We do the same now as well. Your channel is a knowledge mine and it's the kind of knowledge i like and value. Good job!
@@Da_Smore yes. You take the clove, you make a cut so the juices are released quicker, and put it up your nose. It will burn at first but works pretty fast. It’s a natural antibiotic.
There is so much truth in this video, from viral earaches, to you know what! ❤ so glad I found your channel - just yesterday. I put dill pickles in my potato salad! Yum!
We add pickles chopped up ...my favorite is bread and butter pickles..1/2 of them and 1/2of dill pickles!! Yummy the sweet and salty flavors is so yummy
My daughter had tubes at1 1/2 years and after that when here ear hurt we used a bow dryer or heating pad on low , always putting Hands on the blow dryer or heating pad to make sure not to hot , on ear to dry moisture and sometimes dymatap to dry the moisture . But didn’t know that about garlic so I’m sure it works for everyone, the garlic. 😊
I found a trick that seems to work every time for boiled eggs .. take a tablespoon and tap gently on the far end of the egg as you are rotating in your hand .. You will definitely hear after several light taps a sound as if it is cracked .. you are done . That releases the inner lining from the shell .. I thought it was bogus but so far it has worked every time I cook boiled eggs
Wow, I never knew about garlic & earaches!! ->If your eggs are at least 5 days old, boiling & peeling are much easier. (I love using my Instapot, shell fall off! 5 mins pressure, 5 mins self depressive & 5 min in ice cold water. Easy Peasy.
PTL! Thank you so much much for the advice! ( my nine month old he’s constantly pulling on his ears and he recently went to his pediatrician) . I’m not even really sure why I stopped on your video other than the fact that I am trying to downsize and in the process of building our home stead. But anyways I’d be interested in more of your home remedies and etc. I’m going to try the garlic tonight. And Again, thank you for sharing.
Oooh i love garlic. We take fermented honey garlic all fall and winter, even my littles eat it. Tastes like sweet and sour sauce. Not nearly as hot as traditional raw garlic. So good for you! Also a great tip for pasta, potato even rice dishes, rub a cut clove of garlic around your bowl before adding hot food, adds great flavor with no chunks, and then you can still chop it up for another use if desired!!
I am so happy I found your channel, new subscriber here. I was a medical assistant and my children also had a lot of ear infections. I agree that antibiotics don't really work, and I totally agree with all the great benefits of garlic. Thank you, and please continue making these great videos 😊
If anyone is uncomfortable with putting the garlic in the ear, squeezed garlic juice and onion juice through a dropper in the ear is great for infections, too. Same reason.
We sound very similar! I rarely use a recipe, and when I do, I often tweak it or do what I think sounds better lol! We have six kiddos and have never done anything in the arm… not a single antibiotic for any of them in 12 years of parenting. I think there are several factors, but a big one being the arm things… your potatoes look great! Nothing like fresh garden baby potatoes ❤
Well thank you for explaining why both my brother and I *constantly* had severe ear infections growing up! I now have an issue with my eustachian tube to where it’s always open and so my ear drum is constantly moving. I can hear myself breathing. My kids don’t go to the dr’s, so never got the you know what’s, and my son has only ever had 1 ear infection. He’s 11. My daughter has had 0 and she’s 5. They’re rarely sick. We all came down with what I like to call the 2019 flu, and my son was bedridden with a fever for….1 day. My daughter was icky for a few days. My husband and I had it bad for 2 weeks and I had long…flu symptoms all the way up to a year after. We all fell sick the exact same day.
Oh my goodness. My daughter had chronic ear infections, rsv, pneumonia her 1st year. So much so that it delayed her gross motor skills and speech. WOW I had NO IDEA the things in arms has that as a side effect. Since she was about 3, I have learned so much- now she is 16 and very rarely ever gets sick now.
We don't either. My kids have been so healthy thank God. I feel sad for my friend who has a son and he got the things in the arm...he is constantly sick and has to go to the doctors a lot.

Total mad respect for you and everything you do! You don't need my validation but golly lady I am proud of you!!
Same 😊💕
I've never had potato salad without relish. It's one of the key ingredients in soul food style potato salad.
Another incredible mum who knows about natural remedies and cooking from scratch. Garlic is indeed a miracle that God put on this for us to use. ❤
You make everything that you do look so easy! Here’s a tip that you might find helpful. Years ago I had an organic garden. Someone told me a super easy way to grow potatoes that really works.

love this video! garlic for ear infections, no more jibby jabs, and no recipe following :D yay! i will subscribe.
I add sweet salad cubes to my potato salad just how my daddy made his Southern Style Potato Salad. Love it! 😋
That’s how we make our potato salad in South MS. I prefer dill pickles over bread and butter pickles!! So nice to see someone else make their potato salad this way.
Please do more recipes from the garden! So satisfying 👩🍳❤
I can do that!
My lifestyle has greater changed also. With my older kids I did like you did. My oldest son got tubes twice. Now, my youngest 2 children have never had ear infections. We are raising them more natural. I can see a huge difference! ❤

I love the potato salad recipe you made. It looks so good.
If you have a pressure cooker, you can cook hardboiled eggs for 3-4 minutes, take out ice and the shell comes right off.
Azure sells expeller pressed organic canola oil and its GREAT for homemade mayo. Avocado oil is twice the price. Not sure if you are willing to eat seed oils but its at least a super clean version, non gmo and we love it in our mayo!
This is the first video I have watched of yours. Just the inspiration I wanted. Loved watching u peacefully embracing the homestead activities!💗
Thank you!
My third child had to have surgery to repair her ear drum due to chronic ear infections and I'm so angry now that I had no idea back then (she's is 20 now). I'm pregnant with number 8 and have zero intentions to bring her through any of that. I'm learning how to self sustain now. Thank you!
Love your videos! I just got accepted into nursing school but my heart is in natural remedies. I’m seriously considering opting out of 💉 for my family. FYI, if you don’t have garlic try onion. Learned that from watching Barbara O’Neill’s videos 😉
Thank you so much for the garlic tip, I had no idea it could be used for ear issues and infections!
Soooo happy I found your channel! I have 3 kids and we dont do "the things" either and I have no regrets ❤ thank you for sharing the tip about garlic
I add
Pickles, celery, bacon & olives to my potatoe salad.. It's been a family recipe for over 60 years..
God has blessed us with guidance how to live better and leave allopathy. Im grateful..Im happy for yall
I am so proud of seeing the changes you speak of! Halleluyah!! Way to go Mama!!!
I just found you tonight-- I'm a mom of 10 and 15 grand blessings--- how fun to watch!!
A friend of mine with an amazing garden puts fresh nasturtium in her potato salad. It is amazing
I ran out of fresh lemons for my mayo and substituted apple cider vinegar as per different recipes I found. Also, light olive oil is great, as long as it's the light one.
Great tips! I’ll have to try the light olive oil
I grew up eating potato salad with relish, bacon, fresh dill, and boiled eggs!!! Andddd, I started making homemade Mayo this year with our farm fresh eggs, and man ohh man what a difference. I will never go back to store bought.
Chiropractor was the trick for my littles with ear infections! Just a couple adjustments is all it took 🙌🏻
A few of my babies were adjusted as newborn and we didn’t have ear infections-we had moved a couple times while my oldest son was a baby and I didn’t find trusted chiro so never went and he had nonstop infections antibiotic’s etc. and one day it hit me🤦🏻♀️ he never got adjusted -two adjustments and he never had another🙌🏻
I LOVE RELISH IN POTATO SALAD-sadly my husband doesn’t like pickles Or basically green food🤦🏻♀️🤷♀️🤪
I just add it on top of my serving
Doing boiled eggs Instapot has become my favorite way for fresh eggs! Always make extras as one or two usually bust open🤷♀️but the shells just slip right off🙌🏻
Chiropractic is definitely one of the unsung heroes of having healthy babies!! We love our chiro!
@@HopewellHeights do you have any tips for choosing a family chiropractor? There are so many in my area. Are they all the same? 🤪
New subscriber...... I had to. You've convinced me to try making mayo. I put it off for YEARS, because every recipe made it sound like you had to add the oil---A DROP AT A TIME. It just sounded like such a production and who has time for that!!!?? I couldn't believe how fast and easy your mayo was. Thank you for this! And the other reason I subscribed----bacon. Yes. ALL THE TIME.
Garlic is wonderful. I used the garlic oil from capsules for my boys ear infections when they were little, and it worked wonders.
My dentist proscribed me some antibiotic's then shortly after I couldn't digest protein for months. After noticing that I use natural ingredients. Also bough 2 medical books from the 1800's.
The side effects definitely aren’t talked about enough!
Medical books from the 1800s? Dude come on...they used to think bloodletting and miasma were real. Denouncing modern medicine as a whole over a few issues is insanity and makes you stupid as hell. Does old stuff work, like garlic in the ear? Yes. Does modern medicine do stuff like ROBOTIC BRAIN SURGERY????? Also yes. It's not all the devil. Don't be a brainwashed idiot
Thanks for the egg peel techniques. Your casual vibe is very refreshing. Parenting is a journey and you have insight as a mom and nurse which is valuable!
Home remedies are convenient and effective.
Yes you can boil and peel right fresh hen eggs.add some salt to your water and boil for 15 minutes peels whole every time!
That mayo recipe is the same one I use and makes *almost* a whole quart, technically 3 cups but mine whips up to almost 4
So it looks like you added about 1.5 cups-2 cups in your yolks
For anyone who wants a "recipe"
But be courageous- potato salad is forgiving and being daring is what makes a cook into a chef!
I love your videos and your personality! I really wish I knew more people like you in my life. I know what you mean about the older kids wanting their independence, I’ve got a nursing baby and then 3 older ones. I definitely feel like you’re a kindred spirit. 🙂
Thank you for sharing your story on “the things” and their effects! Garlic is a staple for me!
My first 2 had chronic ear infections so they were on antibiotics all the time---- soooo nice to have learned more about all of it and be able to change that for the next 3 kiddos. Totally with you!! We use a garlic oil for their ears and our last 2 kiddos didn't need antibiotics for ear infections ever-- it's amazing the difference when you skip "the thing in their arm" ;)
You young lady are so smart about things, thank you for your help advice.
woo hoo Amen for that one little lifestyle change! :)
I am pregnant and would really love the video on GBS!! Please.
I’ll add that to my list!
True about the ear infections n poke in arms. My mom would get vertical n ear infections from flu pokes. I finally said to her to stop getting it yearly.
Yes! I’ve been making mayo for several months now and I’ll never go back. I actually use olive oil and love it!
You young lady are beautiful, your green eyes are pretty. Your a hard worker also, god bless you.
Yea great garlic and lava near in ears little works around smokers it stops them from hurting
I just came across your channel and I have a little one that had ear infections all the time when he was in public school. I ended up pulling him out of public school a couple years ago and since then he has not had one single ear infection, or any major illness like he did, when he was in public school. His asthma has drastically improved as well which is awesome! He has not had any antibiotics since pulling him out of public school. Anytime he has a cold coming on. I always go to natural remedies from things that grow in my garden and they work so much better than any anabiotic he has ever been put on in the past. I will definitely give the garlic a try for earaches for my husband. My husband struggles with ear problems. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us🥰🥰🥰
My son's pediatrician recommended garlic oil drops for his ear infection. That's what we use now anytime his ear starts to hurt him. Works well!
Now that’s a good pediatrician! I’d say he’s a keeper!
Love your tip of garlic! Trying to remove toxins in our lives.
You are totally amazing!!! Love your home and videos❤
I'm fascinated by this water faucet at your stove top! Love that! I cook like you most times, just grab stuff and go!
I put relish in potato salad also! I also put it in tuna salad 😊
My son is 11. He's never had any immunization shots, ever. But.. he suffered with chronic ear infections. He also had tubes. He still gets them. But, I have found what works for him is colloidal silver.
That’s right! Garlic does work for eachaches. It also works for clogged nose when you catch a cold. I also recommend geranium leaf for earache. You fold it and you put it in your ear, not too deep. My great grandma would sometimes walk around with the leaf in her ear and she was using it for earache. We do the same now as well.
Your channel is a knowledge mine and it's the kind of knowledge i like and value. Good job!
Do you place the garlic piece in the nose for a stuffy nose? Sorry it's a silly question but just wanted to confirm
@@Da_Smore yes. You take the clove, you make a cut so the juices are released quicker, and put it up your nose. It will burn at first but works pretty fast. It’s a natural antibiotic.
There is so much truth in this video, from viral earaches, to you know what! ❤ so glad I found your channel - just yesterday.
I put dill pickles in my potato salad! Yum!
I put relish in my potato salad😅I am from eastern North Carolina, I make my potato salad just like you do and I learned from my mom😊
We add pickles chopped up ...my favorite is bread and butter pickles..1/2 of them and 1/2of dill pickles!! Yummy the sweet and salty flavors is so yummy
I had no idea that's how you make mayo!!! 🤯
You are a FANTASTIC mother
My daughter had tubes at1 1/2 years and after that when here ear hurt we used a bow dryer or heating pad on low , always putting Hands on the blow dryer or heating pad to make sure not to hot , on ear to dry moisture and sometimes dymatap to dry the moisture . But didn’t know that about garlic so I’m sure it works for everyone, the garlic. 😊
I found a trick that seems to work every time for boiled eggs .. take a tablespoon and tap gently on the far end of the egg as you are rotating in your hand .. You will definitely hear after several light taps a sound as if it is cracked .. you are done . That releases the inner lining from the shell .. I thought it was bogus but so far it has worked every time I cook boiled eggs
Fat
Oh I’ll have to try this!
Wow, I never knew about garlic & earaches!!
->If your eggs are at least 5 days old, boiling & peeling are much easier. (I love using my Instapot, shell fall off!
5 mins pressure, 5 mins self depressive & 5 min in ice cold water. Easy Peasy.
PTL! Thank you so much much for the advice! ( my nine month old he’s constantly pulling on his ears and he recently went to his pediatrician) . I’m not even really sure why I stopped on your video other than the fact that I am trying to downsize and in the process of building our home stead. But anyways I’d be interested in more of your home remedies and etc. I’m going to try the garlic tonight. And Again, thank you for sharing.
Awesome video! I could listen to your advice all day
Oooh i love garlic. We take fermented honey garlic all fall and winter, even my littles eat it. Tastes like sweet and sour sauce. Not nearly as hot as traditional raw garlic. So good for you!
Also a great tip for pasta, potato even rice dishes, rub a cut clove of garlic around your bowl before adding hot food, adds great flavor with no chunks, and then you can still chop it up for another use if desired!!
I am so happy I found your channel, new subscriber here. I was a medical assistant and my children also had a lot of ear infections. I agree that antibiotics don't really work, and I totally agree with all the great benefits of garlic. Thank you, and please continue making these great videos 😊
If anyone is uncomfortable with putting the garlic in the ear, squeezed garlic juice and onion juice through a dropper in the ear is great for infections, too. Same reason.
We sound very similar! I rarely use a recipe, and when I do, I often tweak it or do what I think sounds better lol! We have six kiddos and have never done anything in the arm… not a single antibiotic for any of them in 12 years of parenting. I think there are several factors, but a big one being the arm things… your potatoes look great! Nothing like fresh garden baby potatoes ❤
Oh I missed the other videos, excited to go back and indulge ❤
I love dill pickles/relish with brine in our potato salad
I learned so much from this vlog! Thank you for sharing ❤
I always use dill relish and dill juice in my potato salad...delicious
Have you tried castor oil in a dropper. It works instantly. Like 2 drops. Chronic ear ache. Since child hood. Great grandma ☺️
Well thank you for explaining why both my brother and I *constantly* had severe ear infections growing up! I now have an issue with my eustachian tube to where it’s always open and so my ear drum is constantly moving. I can hear myself breathing. My kids don’t go to the dr’s, so never got the you know what’s, and my son has only ever had 1 ear infection. He’s 11. My daughter has had 0 and she’s 5. They’re rarely sick. We all came down with what I like to call the 2019 flu, and my son was bedridden with a fever for….1 day. My daughter was icky for a few days. My husband and I had it bad for 2 weeks and I had long…flu symptoms all the way up to a year after. We all fell sick the exact same day.
Oh my goodness. My daughter had chronic ear infections, rsv, pneumonia her 1st year. So much so that it delayed her gross motor skills and speech. WOW I had NO IDEA the things in arms has that as a side effect. Since she was about 3, I have learned so much- now she is 16 and very rarely ever gets sick now.
You should look up Russian potato salad or Olivier Salad. I think you'll like it.
We don't do the 'things' in the arm either, after much research we decided that was what was best for our family!
We don't either. My kids have been so healthy thank God. I feel sad for my friend who has a son and he got the things in the arm...he is constantly sick and has to go to the doctors a lot.
Are you not allowed to say the word for the things? Why?
