- Along with celebrating and preserving Appalachian heritage and culture I'm always hoping to shine a light on the good life that I live in the Appalachian Mountains of Western North Carolina. I hope you enjoy this peek into my life in Appalachia. Also in this video: Corie cuts the soap she made and shows the finished product-it turned out so pretty!

People thinks we're poor and backward but if they could all live this way they'd be way better off
One of the simple pleasures of this life, sitting on a stump in the shade, eating a popsicle.
I haven't bought bath soap, for years Corie, I've used your soap and I love it! You are all very talented people. Everyone in the family is talented you all make things, create things, grow things, cook things, you make a mother/grandmother proud!
What a beautiful family!
My mama was from western Kentucky and many of her recipes and ways of doing things were similar to ones you have shared. Because she died when I was too young to know to pay closer attention, and because by then we were living in New Jersey far away from 'down home' and family, I never learned the older ways of doing things that you have preserved in your Appalachian videos. Thank you so much for helping me rediscover some wonderful lost memories and recipes that I can reintroduce to my Yankee family.
Could watch you guys all day... makes me home sick. Live in TN.. but from Western NC. great channel.. please keep it up and stay who you are!
Corie's soap turned out so pretty. And Tipper, your grandmother's pink roses are really lovely. Don't laugh, but watching you and Matt eat those popsicles made me so hungry for one, I added popsicles to my grocery list for the coming week!
I'm so happy you carried your soap making project all the way to the finished product. This has been a very interesting and fun video. Thank you so much. You did a wonderful job.
I wish I could play an instrument, but especially if I could play along with family. How awesome!
Love how the soap turned out!
You guys have a talent for explaining things in an easy to understand way. You do it with your cooking, and she did it with the soap. After watching both videos, I'm really thinking about trying my hand at soap-making.
In my part of Appalachia Memorial Day was a time to clean all the family graves. Mother & I would get her Mom & her Mom’s sister & we load up sickles (?), a bucket or 2, clippers& a jars with flowers & clean off all the graves of r relatives. Great time to get reacquainted with great grandparents, kids that had died young. Memory lane!!!
In the soap reveal the implement is called a bench scraper. Traditionally used in bread making.
We used to call those big lizards we found near the river banks “mud puppies”. You are right Tipper, they are actually salamanders.
What a beautiful place and a peaceful & wonderful life. Hard work, yes, but the rewards are great. Thanks for taking me back to my memories of a simpler place & time.
The Strawberry scones looked delicious, bet you they smelled good as well as the handmade soap. I have always liked living in the country but, when, we always went on vacation down to the Smokies, I often said, I’d love to live in the mountains because, your soul always feels so, peaceful there. You just also seem you can connect to the people much easier.
I love 5he background music while you’re chopping strawberries and baking! It’s like a movie soundtrack...
How glorious the last couple days have been in Appalachia!❤️
The fresh strawberries looked delicious! Love the beautiful flowers, i have a spring blooming rose also, the fragrance is awesome! I pray that your squash, zucchini does well, I know it was hot and the cold water and popsicles were refreshing.....the soap looked fantastic....as always , thanks tipper ....God bless....🙏
