Yes, I now realize I have been putting the emphasis on the wrong syllable in the word OXALATES as I was spending my time READING about it and learning about its affects on the body, not concerning myself with saying it correctly but thankfully most of my followers are not only polite enough to look over my mistake, they are also smart enough to know what I meant . I am sure that those who expect perfection out of others never, ever, mispronounce a single word....ever...haha
When I hear someone mispronounce a word, I know they are well read. I am also reminded of the many words I've mispronounced because I hadn't heard anyone verbalize them, Guess what? I just listened to the pronunciation of oxalis (the weed) and discovered that I have been mispronouncing it for years (as have all my gardening friends).
Yes and amen on what you said about homeschooling! I just finished homeschooling the last of my children in May. They are SO far ahead of their peers and way more well rounded. I’m so grateful we homeschooled and so are my kids. All the propaganda about having kids go to school is just that - propaganda. May the Lord bless you, Heidi!
One thing I have realized as I try to heal my body is that seemingly most everything, most every problem we have in our body, is helped to heal with water. Not water alone, of course. Joint health, gut health, heart health, blood health, stomach health, etc... all depend on water. And as Americans, I don't think we drink enough daily. A pint a day is not enough for most adults. DRINK WATER!
I had oxalate overload. Actually I had overload starting with mold toxicity which contains a lot of oxalates and then on top of that I was eating high oxalate diet... I think the thing about oxalates we have to remember is We are now eating foods from around the world 24/7... In the olden days we would eat those that were grown local to us and usually within season and maybe sporadically throughout the year if they were canned or preserved... So we never had oxalate overloads. As long as you continue to have K2 in your diet and dairy, you can reduce the implications of oxalates.
This is my first comment on this channel. I was compelled and wanted to say that this video contains SO MUCH wisdom concerning fear mongering, which applies to all aspects of our lives these days, and home schooling. If I may add one more bit of wisdom, if we "know" the Word, "bury it in our hearts" and "live" it day to day we CAN live in joy, hope and peace and be free of fear, stress and anxiety. Reading it thru, cover to cover, each year is a wonderful practice. A very Happy and Blessed New Year to all. 🌲☃️♥️☃️🌲
I actually left you a comment about oxalates and I'm glad to see that someone chimed in below about their experience with an overload. When I looked into the carnivore diet, many of those people never eat a plant and are in very good health. I also grew Swiss chard and blanched it to remove the oxalates and it was disgusting. There are many reasons to not eat certain plants and roots. Respectfully, I don't think discussing oxalates is fear mongering. Some plants are goitrogenic, others are not easily digested, now we are aware of oxalates, and we've known about phytates in grains, which are examples. I no longer force myself to eat vegetables that are goitrogenic, inflammatory or that I cannot digest, and my comment was from that perspective. I no longer believe that vegetables are "good for you", as in there are no issues with eating them. That's just something we've been told. I used to eat things I didn't really like, but that were supposedly good for me, based on that belief and societal programming. The more I learn about these topics, the more I think we've all been lied to about a lot of things. However, one turmeric based remedy that I really like is Zyflamend. It's fantastic for pets if you can get them to take it. It's expensive, though.
I did recognize the fact that oxalates can be an issue for some but I did NOT say just discussing it is wrong. However, there ARE those scaring people way from eating ANYthing with oxalates, which is where I take issue. Every food that God created and gave us has its place and it all also needs to be in moderation. As noted, oxalates can be greatly reduced or eliminated by simply cooking yet one would still retain all the great minerals found in those same vegetables. I am an omnivore, I eat meat, dairy, healthy fats, vegetables, grains, and fruits, the way God made me.
I love you, Heidi. LOL People are gonna be people. And sadly, they can't stand when someone knows a little more about this or that than they do. Know it alls are the hardest. I guess I better stop snacking on all that spinach and kale out in the garden!!! Oh the horror!
When you stop learning, you stop enjoying Life. It should be a JOY to learn something new in your Life. It excites and stimulates your brain in the way that God intended it to. At 70, I began my education in medicinal herbs/meds from you, something I had wanted to do all my Life and finally had the courage and time to do so. What a Journey my Life has been. I am most blessed.
I LOVE it when you become a fear ninja! I have no patients for slinging bad information. The sheep would all walk off a cliff if they were told it was good for them. 🌿
The problem is, people jump on goggle and then spout back what they read on the first few articles that pop up from their search. There are basic things people need to understand about a Google search. Google algorithms are designed to put forth the propaganda narratives first. You have to dig further to get to the truth of the matter. Also, any "trusted medical site" like medlinePlus, web MD, Healthline, has Big Pharma backing so there is already a bias there. People need to take note. Whenever these sites discuss what we discuss as an all natural approach for treating medical conditions, every single one invariably ends by saying....this or that hasn't been proven to help with this particular medical condition.....BECAUSE THERE ARE NO RESEARCH STUDIES DONE TO SHOW THAT. People need to get a clue. They will not study natural medicine because it just might prove we don't need to rely on Pharma.
HAPPIEST NEW YEAR dear Heidi, Patrick and cherished family. About kidney stones, I passed one and never want to pass another, BUT all of the foods that I can eat are all high in oxalates. I refuse to boil out all the nutrients and have come to realize everything in moderation and drinking plenty of water is the key. You are a true Gem to provide so much valuable information and it saddens me that you get criticized by views. Anyone who put out negative energy is exposing their inner wounds. God Bless you and keep radiating the Lord's light.
One little reminder is that minerals, protien, carbs, and fiber cannot be cooked out of food no matter how long you boil it. It is only vitamins that get lost and not always all of them. It really depends on the how and for how long the foods are cooked
We loved Homeschooling our kids. It was a blast to take specific opportunities to teach our kids. Most Parents with Public school children have miniumal involvement in their children's education. Homeschoolers are more educated and have higher tests scores than Public school children. Public schools used to have higher educational standards than they now have. As far as Socialization for homeschooled children they can get that through Homeschool Co-ops. Homeschooled kids are usually healthier because they have more time to run and play outside. Hopefully anyone who has an opportunity to school their children at home will take it. The rewards are great. Happy New Year! 😊
Oh I love quilts! They all seem to have a story or memories with nearly every one! I’ve watch all of your bread, pizza dough recipes and it never gets old. Thank you for everything you have done for all of us but most importantly is sharing Gods words. My per-say resolution for 2024 is to draw closer and hide his word into my heart!
I as well Heidi, I love Dr. Jacobs as well better. Love the quilt squares. Heidi, Moderation is the name on things!! and healthy foods. Heidi, we need the moisture from the clothes. Yes, wood heat is very drying, I was getting nose bleeds from the heat from the wood stove. Well said Heidi, with home schooling kids who are home schooled if you take 3 to 4 hr of home school, they get more than the kids in public school. We did as well schooled though the whole year too. I think we still have to many people who go to panic mode and follow the police states! people use your own brain. This is the problem we have in this country with fear mongering. Thank you, Heidi, for another Great video. Keep standing up and standing out! Love and enjoy all your videos. Love you❤
One homeschooling Mom starts her littles when they're about four years old, they count the silverware as they put it away - first count knives, then spoons, then forks...as they get older and can count higher, they count how many of all the silverware combined...and when they get older yet they count how many knives/forks/spoons and do addition to come up with the total, or start with the total and subtract how many of each thing, or figure out if there are eight people eating & three utensils per person how many total. Everything in life is learning, especially to children who haven't lived much of life yet.
Thank you, Heidi, for all the fabulous information on so many valuable topics, that you so freely share with all of us!💜 As a retired high school teacher, I fully agree that homeschooling can be so much better than the things they are trying to indoctrinate our children with today. I just wish I was close enough to my grandchildren to homeschool them. I will continue to watch and learn from you here on my home on Whidbey Island. Blessed New Year to you and your family💜🇺🇸
Amen on the positives of homeschooling! Mom and dad are constantly teaching! When we visited a cave one year on vacation, we explained to our children why we did not agree with their time line. We taught our children creation, and explained why we believed that way. Everything we did had teaching possibilities built in! When we watched the nightly news, it was a teaching time. Homeschool your children. They will thank you for it.
That's true. People are so stuck into the mindset that it can only be done one way. I commented in that video that school has a one size fits every child mentality. And people think education requires sitting in a desk, in a room. Every moment is a teachable moment. And parents are best tuned in to their child's learning style.
I homeschooling my now almost 46yr old daughter...She learned more in 2 hours than she was in public school...and yes we homeschooling nearly all year long, WE incorporated EVERYTHING into the lessons.. I have a very smart daughter!
Heidi, I love that you brought up homeschooling and that learning happens all the time. The hardest thing for me, as a former teacher, was to get out of the overly structured routine mentality. Structure has its place, but so do nature walks, baking, road trips, etc. As I commented on your homeschooling post, it is fun! I'm actually learning and loving it more than I did when I had less freedom to choose what and even how I taught. Yes, follow state guidelines, but creativity goes a long way! If we really stop and take a look around us, learning is everywhere! Sometimes it's about regaining that curiosity and wonder. ❤
Wow! No small forest creatures were harmed in the process...lol. love what you're doing. Things we need to learn before what scripture described as a time like no other in history is coming soon. Hugs!!!
Let 2024 take your 💜 heart into a realm of pure love and high vibrational energy...though holding onto our reigns is a must as there's still a few rocks in the road... belief in our own divinity 🙏🏼our own power will allow us to push on through...gaining strength and determination along the way...love always wins... it's time to share more of it 🥂🥳😘
Hi, Hedi thank you for sharing on this soap I will definitely be purchasing some ps I wanted to share Ihave been seeing posts on Pyrex measuring cups and apparently some of the newer measuring cups are not tempered glass and they shatter easily scarry not good😢 according to what people say you can tell the difference in the word PYREX in bold print is the older safe and Pyrex with the lower case letters is new and not safe so hang on to the older ones and pick them up from tag sales or where ever you can I use mine constantly for everything so I wanted to share take care!
I agree on people getting on a bandwagon about food. Five years ago it was the lectins in beans and grains. It's always something. Our parents and grandparents ate it all and were healthy. Maybe healthier.
There is a very high increase in kidney stones nation wide. Seasonality makes sense to possibly limit to whatever degree if you have associated digestive or kidney stones. Incorporating vinegar Daily and lemon in water will help. I have had help in healing from a painful Ulcer, and so far no return of Kidney stones. I had to have emergency surgery with acute kidney failure from a stone. It nearly killed me-literally. I went septic with diverticulitis and had to resort to 2 weeks on clear liquids and bone broth. I passed my stomach lining it was so severe and extremely Painful. The whole deal left me bleeding internally and anemic. I have spent the last three years trying to heal My stomach, kidneys, and other related problems. For the first time since I finally am not bloated, the last three months, i have been on the carnivore Diet to heal. The pain, nausea, bloating have stopped, and vomiting. No intermittent fever, and sleeping some better. I would say if you do have some of these symptoms for oxalate poisoning, it may be worthwhile to consider a dietary change temporarily to see if it is helpful to your symptoms. It has saved my life. I still mince fresh garlic and use a couple of cloves a day to help with infection I am looking forward to returning to some low oxalate vegetables like turnips and their greens. Love the quilt!
Pesticide use is being linked to numerous kidney and health issues. Even organic foods aren't to be trusted unless you know or trust the ethics and morals of the source. We would know, we went through the process.
@@eightysixcommunism2827The bar set for things to be labelled "organic," "natural," is so low. I'm very careful whose products I'm willing to purchase, even locally. We had been buying meat and eggs from a local farmer until we visited his farm and saw how MISERABLY his animals were treated. I noticed empty feed bags lying around and did my homework on them. Never bought from him again. Lesson learned.
I know this may sound unbelievable, but you did it AGAIN. Two days ago, my sister and I were just discussing the Dr. Jacobs soap - it's really uncanny how this is happening. She wanted me to order her some Bronner's soap from Azure. We decided to both try the Dr. Jacobs instead (unscented and Orange/Ginger) and it's in my cart at Azure. I think I will use your link and order direct from them instead. (That way I can support you and get it quicker) I used to make my own bar soap, but just haven't done that now for years - I buy from a friend that gives back to the community with her sales. I'm looking forward to trying the Raw Black soap and the Lavender Clary Sage from Dr. Jacobs. And you are exactly right on the homeschooling hours - kids are constantly learning - heck, so are we!! Thank you again for the great content. Gonna go re-watch your Dr. Jacobs video, Have a wonderful day and God Bless!
Happy New Year Heidi ❤ beautiful projects 🎉 I hope to finish some sewing projects and reuse old fabrics. You're right Heidi, we can't stop eating vegetables or drinking juices/water. But we can chose to be in the middle. There are some people really extreme on their points of view concerning food and drinks.
Thank you Rain ! You are a blessing! I wished I had you as a friend when I homeschooled! I went right by the book! I was scared of getting into trouble with the system! Skills and using common sense was so important! God bless you ! Happy New Year!
Blessed and Healthy 2024 Heidi!! I discovered you last year and you've inspired me to try so many new things. Mead making is what got me hooked, i stayed for other terridic inspiration on what i should try next. My first few batches were, meh!!! And some have way too much sediment in their bottles. But I've refined how I do it and I made a Muscatine grape mead using grapes from a local vineyard and boy, it is delicious!!!!!! I've made apple wine from apple juice that I found that was straight juice from concentrate with nothing added. Another winner!!!! I started focusing on the health and beauty products and made a clay mask that even my daughter in law wanted to use. I made castile soap for a foaming soap dispenser using a tea I made from a mixture of flowers beneficial to the skin. Similar to the tea you used for your mask. When I read the ingredients on a foaming soap bottle I had under the sink it set my hair on fire. 15 Ingredients I couldn't pronounce plus 12 more ingredients, 5 of which were dyes. What the heck are we washing our hands with????🤯
I’ve been reading a book about unschooling and they address “tracking” the hours spent learning for state requirements. For a lot of families, the amount of true learning ends up being more than if they went to traditional school!
I heard okra was the WORST thing you can eat because of this....and I was also told it`s the BEST thing you can eat! LOL! So I grew several varieties and about 70 okra plants like normal this past season and ate the pods raw as they reached a decent size. I froze a few small bags raw to add to blackeyed peas and saved a bunch of seeds to plant around the area here in open spots and along my very long dirt driveway. The El Nino is expected to end by next summer so we should return to normal rain patterns, at least here in Louisiana.
I'm very oxalate sensitive. I believe people should be informed so they can make their own decisions. Why take a pain pill, if you can adjust your diet and have pain relief?
14:07 1) If I am homeschooling, I do not care what the "authorities" think, regardless. The child comes first, always. 2) Children are learning from the time they wake up to the time they fall asleep, Ive been one. I would know 😂😂😂.
Wood heat certainly is drying! I grew up with a Warm Morning woodstove in the kitchen, and Mom always had an old kettle of water on it to add moisture. The blood vessels in Dad's nose were very near the surface and had nosebleeds frequently - I inherited that trait, and dry my clothes on a wood rack in my house through the winter, as well as keeping the thermostat set about five degrees cooler than most, which keeps the relative humidity higher. Still love wood heat, although I've never had it in any of my homes.
One thing the nay sayers aren't taking into consideration on homeschooling, is the one-on-one (or two or three-on-one) teaching they are getting, which really beats the 20 something on one that they get in school. Individual attention makes up for a lot.
This is why you are a good teacher! You teach us thru trials and research. The problem with social media is that everyone thinks they know better and that you need to know that 😮! I appreciate all you do and how you share the good and the bad. Happy New Year 🎊
About Nightshades? There is a specific Body Type, that doesnt tolerate Nightshade. It will trigger arthritis and pain. IF you cross into Overload? Simply having spagetti sauce, can send your body into pain. BUT! Going on a Fast/Avoiding it for Allergy Control? You CAN Reverse enough,to return to eating it! I have done that, also.
I had to look of course; cinnamon and cloves also contain oxalates at a fairly high amount, nobody fears those? Nice job Heidi, fear mongering on everything helpful, as if we would eat it 5 times a day in large amounts🤣 I did get some bottles of Dr Jacobs as well, found them at a decent price on vitacost to finally try. Now I have soap to last into 2030! Happy new year, I will keep my cinnamon rolls naked this year as well (never liked icing).
Thank you for the video! I am really looking forward to the bread video. 😊A comment on oxalates; do your research, yes, but giving thanks & asking for blessings on what goes into our bodies helps. 🙏
Thank you Heidi! 🙂 We seem to be in a similar synchronicity again. I just pulled out some coconut and olive oils that I'd infused rose petals in. This is the time of year that I make soap if needed. I haven't done well making liquid soap though so I'll be looking into your affiliate. Blessings! 💜
God made all edibles safe ....it was man that made them unsafe by contaminating the soil they grow in & chem trails, etc. I'm blessed to have my own property that is not contaminated or sprayed with anything.... My garden is totally organic & my hoop house even helps from those chemtrails. No fears here.
🎉Happy New Year!! I made quilts for my children. I took pictures of them as they grew and transferred them on the quilt. Each different for each family. They loved them. Thanks for sharing all you do!
Both my boys have quilts as well as afghans I made for them when they were young and my grandbabies each have an afghan and the two oldest (boys) also each have a quilt I have made them. I will be handing down this quilt I am working on to my granddaughter when she is older or after I pass on
😳MG, just seen you did a question & answer vinegar video 6 days ago that would have answered my vinegar concern - s😬rry! Had company in for 2 weeks & missed it, but you still answered my question anyway. I bet you feel like a broken record.
my now adult "kids" have said many times how much they learned from vacations and camping mostly it made history "real" for them. I dry my orange peels on the wood stove and powder them and use it in several ways . I make my coffee using a re usable flannel cloth bag over a glass pot and i add my coffee and some of the orange peel powder. Gives the coffee a nice flavor and makes it a little more "healthy"
Homeschooling throughout the year is how I could meet the hourly criteria required by our old state. We still go year-round in our new state but since we are no longer required to have a certain number of hours, it's much nicer. We still average 4 hours a day, sometimes longer, depending on what we are doing, but the pressure is off. Two of my children require very tedious one-on-one help with certain subjects they struggle with, which is why it takes as long as it does. Shrug. It works for us, even if it's not ideal. Every family is different and that's OK.
And yes, I'm quite aware that it can include things you don't learn from a textbook. Our children are constantly learning, but the hours I listed above are dedicated to math, various parts of English, history and geography, and science. We also spend 30-60 minutes each day on Theology: reading the Bible, doing our Bible studies, learning church history, etc. Beyond that are life and practical skills, including sign language, Morse code, building and fixing, cooking and baking, various craft skills, budgeting, gardening and preserving, etc. These things are taught beyond those hours.
We only took about two weeks off in the summer for our family vacation and reunion. Of course the boys were still learning things about nature and more while we were camping.
When we switched to wood heat, I started hanging my clothes, 20 yrs now! I don't go thru all your comments, if I do come across a fool, I will, charitably, :)tell em! I feel for ya, not easy to fix stupid! Lol, i guess thats not charitable! Regardless, many blessings from God this new year!
Happy New Year Heidi. God bless you and your family. Thank you for such informative & intelligent videos, so much useful information in every one. Love your channel.
PS i found this works great for head lice Trestment on children! On myself, i trsted out leaving it to dry on my head for 24 hrs. I AM super Sensitive. I wanted to know how i will React, for Safety on children. No Reactions! So if you have to leave the Castile on the head of a child, it is not harming. Same for Pet de-lousing. I tested on me first.
I love Dr Jacob’s! I buy the pump soaps and spray cleaning soaps. They make my kitchen smell so good! On the turmeric, I take a capsule twice a day and have done so for the last few years. My recent blood word came out great. I remember when eggs were the villain! lol, it’s always something! Happy New Year and Many Blessings!
Eggs are still being demonized by the vegan community but it is in those lovely yolks that we get natural D and K2 that counteracts the negative affects of oxalates
Nice pile of quilt squares! What a fun collab. I love your sewing videos. But I think I love your purple plaid shirt more😂 can’t wait to get caught up. Been missing your videos. Happy New Year!
Happy New Year 🎉 Heidi. I'm going to try the Dr Jacob soaps. My baby girl has eczema and I have to be so careful with what she uses. Blessings from Texas ❤
It is nothing more than mica powder over my homemade skin cream that I also use as a lip balm. I have been experimenting with these powders I bought years ago, also around my eyes and even adding a tad of color to my cheeks
From what I know, people that make liquid soap add a preservative to it to be able to sell them because it's more of a gel that is then diluted with water.
The carnivore community is really pushing not eating vegetables because of all the oxalates..I did carnivore for awhile ..I did feel better but ..I look at it this way its boring..also I think of it this way God gave us all the foods that are good for us ..its what MAN has done to the soil and the water and the seeds and everything ..if people would stop trying to change what God gave us . All in name of GREED. It's just be simpke and live and if thats how someone wants to live then do it but leave everyone else alone..and we are all all fldifferent so let each choose their own woth out making them think they are doing something wrong ..whats right for me is right for ME..I don't say its right for you!! Thats your choice always!! We have corporate schooling now days!! and a place for people to send their kids so they can do what they want ..be it work etc.. I know many homeschooling families ..and I see these children are so far ahead of reg school subjects plus life skills ..I live seeing it!! It always astounds me at the difference ..and the words they use and their interests ..and alit of home school families ..their children arent on electronics on a regular basis thru day or even tv for that matter.. Oh my those rolls look so delucious!!. Love your icing recipe I never thought of orange oil gotta get some of that ..I have lemon oil which I just love ... I love seeing all the food you make!!! God blessed you with extra measure of common sense!!
You have to apply the code RAINCOUNTRY at check out, there will be a box provided to put the code into and you will see it once you get to that step. I just now checked again to make sure and it does work
If you are asking me, no, for one I was homeschooling them and using the logical methods and two, I was teaching them those things long before common core was established. My sons are now 31 and 28.
This is a great post Heidi. It would be nice if you didn’t have to keep addressing the fear mongers. I suppose some just are not as far along in experience. Wish they’d get educated before interjecting ignorance. Peace out 🕊️

At least that how I look at it.

You are a true Gem to provide so much valuable information and it saddens me that you get criticized by views. Anyone who put out negative energy is exposing their inner wounds. God Bless you and keep radiating the Lord's light.
One little reminder is that minerals, protien, carbs, and fiber cannot be cooked out of food no matter how long you boil it. It is only vitamins that get lost and not always all of them. It really depends on the how and for how long the foods are cooked
We loved Homeschooling our kids. It was a blast to take specific opportunities to teach our kids. Most Parents with Public school children have miniumal involvement in their children's education. Homeschoolers are more educated and have higher tests scores than Public school children. Public schools used to have higher educational standards than they now have. As far as Socialization for homeschooled children they can get that through Homeschool Co-ops. Homeschooled kids are usually healthier because they have more time to run and play outside. Hopefully anyone who has an opportunity to school their children at home will take it. The rewards are great. Happy New Year! 😊
I work in the public school system, you are so correct about the actual "learning time". There is so much waisted time~+JMJ+ God Bless
Oh I love quilts! They all seem to have a story or memories with nearly every one! I’ve watch all of your bread, pizza dough recipes and it never gets old. Thank you for everything you have done for all of us but most importantly is sharing Gods words. My per-say resolution for 2024 is to draw closer and hide his word into my heart!
I as well Heidi, I love Dr. Jacobs as well better. Love the quilt squares. Heidi, Moderation is the name on things!! and healthy foods. Heidi, we need the moisture from the clothes. Yes, wood heat is very drying, I was getting nose bleeds from the heat from the wood stove. Well said Heidi, with home schooling kids who are home schooled if you take 3 to 4 hr of home school, they get more than the kids in public school. We did as well schooled though the whole year too. I think we still have to many people who go to panic mode and follow the police states! people use your own brain. This is the problem we have in this country with fear mongering. Thank you, Heidi, for another Great video. Keep standing up and standing out! Love and enjoy all your videos. Love you❤
One homeschooling Mom starts her littles when they're about four years old, they count the silverware as they put it away - first count knives, then spoons, then forks...as they get older and can count higher, they count how many of all the silverware combined...and when they get older yet they count how many knives/forks/spoons and do addition to come up with the total, or start with the total and subtract how many of each thing, or figure out if there are eight people eating & three utensils per person how many total. Everything in life is learning, especially to children who haven't lived much of life yet.
Please look into what you are actually saying when you refer to children as the L word 🤮
❤Point of fact....everyone watching this video is learning something. I'm in school everytime i come to TH-cam and Rumble
Preach it, Heidi... on the “learning all the time”... cuz they are 🥰
We homeschool year round as well, taking off some time for Sukkot and various other things. We also don't school on Fridays. Great video Heidi.
I love what you say about homeschooling. There's so much here. Thank you.
Totally agree with you that if we all adhered to the latest information on whatever without any research we would perish.😊
Thank you, Heidi, for all the fabulous information on so many valuable topics, that you so freely share with all of us!💜 As a retired high school teacher, I fully agree that homeschooling can be so much better than the things they are trying to indoctrinate our children with today. I just wish I was close enough to my grandchildren to homeschool them. I will continue to watch and learn from you here on my home on Whidbey Island. Blessed New Year to you and your family💜🇺🇸
The quilt squares are so beautiful!
Amen on the positives of homeschooling! Mom and dad are constantly teaching! When we visited a cave one year on vacation, we explained to our children why we did not agree with their time line. We taught our children creation, and explained why we believed that way. Everything we did had teaching possibilities built in! When we watched the nightly news, it was a teaching time. Homeschool your children. They will thank you for it.
That's true. People are so stuck into the mindset that it can only be done one way. I commented in that video that school has a one size fits every child mentality. And people think education requires sitting in a desk, in a room. Every moment is a teachable moment. And parents are best tuned in to their child's learning style.
I homeschooling my now almost 46yr old daughter...She learned more in 2 hours than she was in public school...and yes we homeschooling nearly all year long, WE incorporated EVERYTHING into the lessons.. I have a very smart daughter!
How cool the quilt square with you on it! Happy sewing!
Love your videos Heidi. Your make up that you have put together it’s looks amazing 🙌 God bless you and your family ✝️
Heidi, I love that you brought up homeschooling and that learning happens all the time. The hardest thing for me, as a former teacher, was to get out of the overly structured routine mentality. Structure has its place, but so do nature walks, baking, road trips, etc. As I commented on your homeschooling post, it is fun! I'm actually learning and loving it more than I did when I had less freedom to choose what and even how I taught. Yes, follow state guidelines, but creativity goes a long way! If we really stop and take a look around us, learning is everywhere! Sometimes it's about regaining that curiosity and wonder. ❤
Wow! No small forest creatures were harmed in the process...lol. love what you're doing. Things we need to learn before what scripture described as a time like no other in history is coming soon. Hugs!!!
Hi Heidi, God is good all the time. Hallelujah ❤❤❤
Let 2024 take your 💜 heart into a realm of pure love and high vibrational energy...though holding onto our reigns is a must as there's still a few rocks in the road... belief in our own divinity 🙏🏼our own power will allow us to push on through...gaining strength and determination along the way...love always wins... it's time to share more of it 🥂🥳😘
Love is great. Indifference to mongering is worse. ❤
Hi, Hedi thank you for sharing on this soap I will definitely be purchasing some ps I wanted to share Ihave been seeing posts on Pyrex measuring cups and apparently some of the newer measuring cups are not tempered glass and they shatter easily scarry not good😢 according to what people say you can tell the difference in the word PYREX in bold print is the older safe and Pyrex with the lower case letters is new and not safe so hang on to the older ones and pick them up from tag sales or where ever you can I use mine constantly for everything so I wanted to share take care!
I agree on people getting on a bandwagon about food. Five years ago it was the lectins in beans and grains. It's always something. Our parents and grandparents ate it all and were healthy. Maybe healthier.
There is a very high increase in kidney stones nation wide. Seasonality makes sense to possibly limit to whatever degree if you have associated digestive or kidney stones. Incorporating vinegar
Daily and lemon in water will help. I have had help in healing from a painful
Ulcer, and so far no return of Kidney stones. I had to have emergency surgery with acute kidney failure from a stone. It nearly killed me-literally. I went septic with diverticulitis and had to resort to 2 weeks on clear liquids and bone broth. I passed my stomach lining it was so severe and extremely
Painful. The whole deal left me bleeding internally and anemic. I have spent the last three years trying to heal
My stomach, kidneys, and other related problems. For the first time since I finally am not bloated, the last three months, i have been on the carnivore
Diet to heal. The pain, nausea, bloating have stopped, and vomiting. No intermittent fever, and sleeping some better. I would say if you do have some of these symptoms for oxalate poisoning, it may be worthwhile to consider a dietary change temporarily to see if it is helpful to your symptoms.
It has saved my life. I still mince fresh garlic and use a couple of cloves a day to help with infection I am looking forward to returning to some low oxalate vegetables like turnips and their greens. Love the quilt!
Pesticide use is being linked to numerous kidney and health issues. Even organic foods aren't to be trusted unless you know or trust the ethics and morals of the source.
We would know, we went through the process.
@@eightysixcommunism2827The bar set for things to be labelled "organic," "natural," is so low. I'm very careful whose products I'm willing to purchase, even locally. We had been buying meat and eggs from a local farmer until we visited his farm and saw how MISERABLY his animals were treated. I noticed empty feed bags lying around and did my homework on them. Never bought from him again. Lesson learned.
Thanks Heidi. Appreciate the info. The cinnamon rolls look so good. Blessings to all
I know this may sound unbelievable, but you did it AGAIN. Two days ago, my sister and I were just discussing the Dr. Jacobs soap - it's really uncanny how this is happening. She wanted me to order her some Bronner's soap from Azure. We decided to both try the Dr. Jacobs instead (unscented and Orange/Ginger) and it's in my cart at Azure. I think I will use your link and order direct from them instead. (That way I can support you and get it quicker) I used to make my own bar soap, but just haven't done that now for years - I buy from a friend that gives back to the community with her sales. I'm looking forward to trying the Raw Black soap and the Lavender Clary Sage from Dr. Jacobs.
And you are exactly right on the homeschooling hours - kids are constantly learning - heck, so are we!!
Thank you again for the great content. Gonna go re-watch your Dr. Jacobs video, Have a wonderful day and God Bless!
Thank you for all you do Heidi! God bless you and hopes for a wonderful 2024 for us all.
Happy New Year Heidi ❤ beautiful projects 🎉 I hope to finish some sewing projects and reuse old fabrics. You're right Heidi, we can't stop eating vegetables or drinking juices/water. But we can chose to be in the middle. There are some people really extreme on their points of view concerning food and drinks.
Good This~N~That video , thanks for sharing YAH bless !
Thank you Rain ! You are a blessing! I wished I had you as a friend when I homeschooled! I went right by the book! I was scared of getting into trouble with the system! Skills and using common sense was so important! God bless you !
Happy New Year!
Blessed and Healthy 2024 Heidi!!
I discovered you last year and you've inspired me to try so many new things. Mead making is what got me hooked, i stayed for other terridic inspiration on what i should try next. My first few batches were, meh!!! And some have way too much sediment in their bottles. But I've refined how I do it and I made a Muscatine grape mead using grapes from a local vineyard and boy, it is delicious!!!!!! I've made apple wine from apple juice that I found that was straight juice from concentrate with nothing added. Another winner!!!!
I started focusing on the health and beauty products and made a clay mask that even my daughter in law wanted to use. I made castile soap for a foaming soap dispenser using a tea I made from a mixture of flowers beneficial to the skin. Similar to the tea you used for your mask. When I read the ingredients on a foaming soap bottle I had under the sink it set my hair on fire. 15 Ingredients I couldn't pronounce plus 12 more ingredients, 5 of which were dyes. What the heck are we washing our hands with????🤯
I’ve been reading a book about unschooling and they address “tracking” the hours spent learning for state requirements. For a lot of families, the amount of true learning ends up being more than if they went to traditional school!
Correct!
What is the title of the book?

I heard okra was the WORST thing you can eat because of this....and I was also told it`s the BEST thing you can eat! LOL! So I grew several varieties and about 70 okra plants like normal this past season and ate the pods raw as they reached a decent size. I froze a few small bags raw to add to blackeyed peas and saved a bunch of seeds to plant around the area here in open spots and along my very long dirt driveway. The El Nino is expected to end by next summer so we should return to normal rain patterns, at least here in Louisiana.
I'm very oxalate sensitive. I believe people should be informed so they can make their own decisions. Why take a pain pill, if you can adjust your diet and have pain relief?
I’m in south Louisiana.
SW Louisiana here. I love okra anyway it's fixed.
Thank you for the info on oxalates! My 85 year old mother has jumped on that bandwagon. To add insult to injury, she broke her hip 2 weeks ago.
I do agree with you on your homeschooling comments.
14:07 1) If I am homeschooling, I do not care what the "authorities" think, regardless. The child comes first, always.
2) Children are learning from the time they wake up to the time they fall asleep, Ive been one. I would know 😂😂😂.
Another great video! I truly appreciate all you do to make us think about how to be more productive. Take care.
Great info Heidi…your orange drizzle reminds me of my grandmas icing on her orange cookies ❤
Good Morning from Eastern Washington! You came through on IG last night with your quilt completed! Stunning!!
Have a blessed day!
Yes, I got to work on it the night I shot this video and finished it yesterday :)
Wood heat certainly is drying! I grew up with a Warm Morning woodstove in the kitchen, and Mom always had an old kettle of water on it to add moisture. The blood vessels in Dad's nose were very near the surface and had nosebleeds frequently - I inherited that trait, and dry my clothes on a wood rack in my house through the winter, as well as keeping the thermostat set about five degrees cooler than most, which keeps the relative humidity higher. Still love wood heat, although I've never had it in any of my homes.
One thing the nay sayers aren't taking into consideration on homeschooling, is the one-on-one (or two or three-on-one) teaching they are getting, which really beats the 20 something on one that they get in school. Individual attention makes up for a lot.
This is why you are a good teacher! You teach us thru trials and research. The problem with social media is that everyone thinks they know better and that you need to know that 😮! I appreciate all you do and how you share the good and the bad.
Happy New Year 🎊
Heidi, Good morning, God Bless, Happy New Year! I pray you and family are exceedingly blessed!
Always practical Heidi
Thank you Heidi. Water is life. Blessings 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks Heidi 😊 ❤❤
About Nightshades? There is a specific Body Type, that doesnt tolerate Nightshade. It will trigger arthritis and pain. IF you cross into Overload? Simply having spagetti sauce, can send your body into pain. BUT! Going on a Fast/Avoiding it for Allergy Control? You CAN Reverse enough,to return to eating it! I have done that, also.
I had to look of course; cinnamon and cloves also contain oxalates at a fairly high amount, nobody fears those? Nice job Heidi, fear mongering on everything helpful, as if we would eat it 5 times a day in large amounts🤣
I did get some bottles of Dr Jacobs as well, found them at a decent price on vitacost to finally try. Now I have soap to last into 2030! Happy new year, I will keep my cinnamon rolls naked this year as well (never liked icing).
Happy New Year! It’s always a joy watching your videos thank you so much!
Thanks! I’ll check out Dr Jacobs as we use Bronners. I’m looking foreword to your bread recipe. 😊
Thank you for the video! I am really looking forward to the bread video. 😊A comment on oxalates; do your research, yes, but giving thanks & asking for blessings on what goes into our bodies helps. 🙏
Thanks! Blessings! I never thought of oil for icing flavours! Thats a great idea!
Thank you so much for all information and your time. God Bless
Thank you Heidi! 🙂
We seem to be in a similar synchronicity again. I just pulled out some coconut and olive oils that I'd infused rose petals in. This is the time of year that I make soap if needed. I haven't done well making liquid soap though so I'll be looking into your affiliate.
Blessings! 💜
God made all edibles safe ....it was man that made them unsafe by contaminating the soil they grow in & chem trails, etc. I'm blessed to have my own property that is not contaminated or sprayed with anything.... My garden is totally organic & my hoop house even helps from those chemtrails. No fears here.
🎉Happy New Year!! I made quilts for my children. I took pictures of them as they grew and transferred them on the quilt. Each different for each family. They loved them.
Thanks for sharing all you do!
Both my boys have quilts as well as afghans I made for them when they were young and my grandbabies each have an afghan and the two oldest (boys) also each have a quilt I have made them. I will be handing down this quilt I am working on to my granddaughter when she is older or after I pass on
Really enjoyed this video and great info
😳MG, just seen you did a question & answer vinegar video 6 days ago that would have answered my vinegar concern - s😬rry! Had company in for 2 weeks & missed it, but you still answered my question anyway. I bet you feel like a broken record.
No worries, I have 5 videos coming out every week and I know not everyone can catch them all :)
my now adult "kids" have said many times how much they learned from vacations and camping mostly it made history "real" for them. I dry my orange peels on the wood stove and powder them and use it in several ways . I make my coffee using a re usable flannel cloth bag over a glass pot and i add my coffee and some of the orange peel powder. Gives the coffee a nice flavor and makes it a little more "healthy"
Homeschooling throughout the year is how I could meet the hourly criteria required by our old state. We still go year-round in our new state but since we are no longer required to have a certain number of hours, it's much nicer. We still average 4 hours a day, sometimes longer, depending on what we are doing, but the pressure is off. Two of my children require very tedious one-on-one help with certain subjects they struggle with, which is why it takes as long as it does. Shrug. It works for us, even if it's not ideal. Every family is different and that's OK.
And yes, I'm quite aware that it can include things you don't learn from a textbook. Our children are constantly learning, but the hours I listed above are dedicated to math, various parts of English, history and geography, and science. We also spend 30-60 minutes each day on Theology: reading the Bible, doing our Bible studies, learning church history, etc. Beyond that are life and practical skills, including sign language, Morse code, building and fixing, cooking and baking, various craft skills, budgeting, gardening and preserving, etc. These things are taught beyond those hours.
We only took about two weeks off in the summer for our family vacation and reunion. Of course the boys were still learning things about nature and more while we were camping.
@RainCountryHomestead Yep!! That's another thing we love about it...we get to decide if/when to take a break.
Great this n that! Beautiful squares!
Like somebody once told me if you're not careful. You just might learn something.
When we switched to wood heat, I started hanging my clothes, 20 yrs now! I don't go thru all your comments, if I do come across a fool, I will, charitably, :)tell em! I feel for ya, not easy to fix stupid! Lol, i guess thats not charitable! Regardless, many blessings from God this new year!
Your hair looks beautiful today.
Thanks! Happy New Year!
Thank you for sharing Heidi, Happy New Year’s 🎉❤🎊
Happy New Year Heidi. God bless you and your family. Thank you for such informative & intelligent videos, so much useful information in every one. Love your channel.
PS i found this works great for head lice Trestment on children! On myself, i trsted out leaving it to dry on my head for 24 hrs. I AM super Sensitive. I wanted to know how i will React, for Safety on children. No Reactions! So if you have to leave the Castile on the head of a child, it is not harming. Same for Pet de-lousing. I tested on me first.
Happy new year from my family to your family and God bless❤❤❤
Youre make up looks amazing! So pretty!
Happy New Year! ❤
Happy New Year ❤❤
I love Dr Jacob’s! I buy the pump soaps and spray cleaning soaps. They make my kitchen smell so good! On the turmeric, I take a capsule twice a day and have done so for the last few years. My recent blood word came out great. I remember when eggs were the villain! lol, it’s always something! Happy New Year and Many Blessings!
Eggs are still being demonized by the vegan community but it is in those lovely yolks that we get natural D and K2 that counteracts the negative affects of oxalates
@@RainCountryHomesteadVegans are anger in general, have never met a happy one. It's the lack of protein...or food...I imagine 😂
HAPPY NEW YEAR, AND GOD BLESS YA'LL ALWAYS!
Nice pile of quilt squares! What a fun collab. I love your sewing videos. But I think I love your purple plaid shirt more😂 can’t wait to get caught up. Been missing your videos. Happy New Year!
Happy New Years Heidi🎉
👍 Thanks! Shalom! 👍
Happy New Year 🎉 Heidi. I'm going to try the Dr Jacob soaps. My baby girl has eczema and I have to be so careful with what she uses. Blessings from Texas ❤
You always post so many helpful links in your caption! I wanted to say that I love the color of your lipstick in this video. Where do you get it?
It is nothing more than mica powder over my homemade skin cream that I also use as a lip balm. I have been experimenting with these powders I bought years ago, also around my eyes and even adding a tad of color to my cheeks
From what I know, people that make liquid soap add a preservative to it to be able to sell them because it's more of a gel that is then diluted with water.
Happy newyear!
The carnivore community is really pushing not eating vegetables because of all the oxalates..I did carnivore for awhile ..I did feel better but ..I look at it this way its boring..also I think of it this way God gave us all the foods that are good for us ..its what MAN has done to the soil and the water and the seeds and everything ..if people would stop trying to change what God gave us . All in name of GREED.
It's just be simpke and live and if thats how someone wants to live then do it but leave everyone else alone..and we are all all fldifferent so let each choose their own woth out making them think they are doing something wrong ..whats right for me is right for ME..I don't say its right for you!! Thats your choice always!!
We have corporate schooling now days!! and a place for people to send their kids so they can do what they want ..be it work etc.. I know many homeschooling families ..and I see these children are so far ahead of reg school subjects plus life skills ..I live seeing it!! It always astounds me at the difference ..and the words they use and their interests ..and alit of home school families ..their children arent on electronics on a regular basis thru day or even tv for that matter..
Oh my those rolls look so delucious!!.
Love your icing recipe I never thought of orange oil gotta get some of that ..I have lemon oil which I just love ... I love seeing all the food you make!!! God blessed you with extra measure of common sense!!
I had not heard of Dr Jacobs before
Heidi what can I make with a lot of refrigerator dried orange and mandarin peels? They are very dry. Thanks for your always informative videos 💖.
The many uses for orange peels: th-cam.com/video/y_nykxfVVGE/w-d-xo.html
Heidi, the discount for Jacobs soap is not working. It could also be that I don't know where to put RAINCOUNTRY.
You have to apply the code RAINCOUNTRY at check out, there will be a box provided to put the code into and you will see it once you get to that step. I just now checked again to make sure and it does work
Did your kids learn the new way to do math?
Happy New Year🤗❤️💰🔔…best of health and wealth,,,!!
If you are asking me, no, for one I was homeschooling them and using the logical methods and two, I was teaching them those things long before common core was established. My sons are now 31 and 28.
I use turmeric in my Chili
This is a great post Heidi. It would be nice if you didn’t have to keep addressing the fear mongers. I suppose some just are not as far along in experience. Wish they’d get educated before interjecting ignorance.
Peace out 🕊️
Gosh, some people just live in fear. Grow your own food& eat a well-balanced diet. People need to take a chill pill.
Turmeric is good for degenerating eyes. Happy New Year!
