Hi! We are Phil and Alex! After leaving California in an RV, traveling full time, and helping our littlest with an open heart surgery, we've settled down in Tennessee. We found our homestead land and are learning each day how to live a more sustainable life. We are a family grown through the miracle of Adoption & Infertility Treatments. Our precious daughters are Kinsley Grace (7 years old), Callie Jo (5 years old), and Cassidy Drew (2). Our passion is to encourage families through infertility, adoption and building stronger healthier families. Thank you for tuning in! We hope you are encouraged!

I needed this start of the video. Guys, I’m so depressed it’s not okay. I need prayers as I’ve had a traumatic event happen in my own home. I need healing, and listening to Phil at the beginning is something I know the Lord has driven me to this very moment today. Like he’s talking to me through this video. Thank you.

@its.emma.official Год назад

I hope you are ok! Trauma is hard, but I have found purpose in the pain. Take extra care of yourself today🤍

I just made home made liquid laundry cleaner! Castile soap, vinegar, glycerin, and lemon EO (the lemon is an anti fungal, viral, biotic, and bacterial) and for helping get mold out of clothes adding an orange and tea tree helps additional funk. And the funk of the clothes might be from the drum of the wash that needs to have the tea tree and lemon or orange EO with the vinegar to just clean the drum itself.

Heads up on laundry! I used those homemade laundry soap recipes for so so long until I learned something very interesting. True soap actually doesn’t do super well with porous materials like clothing. You know how you get soap scum buildup on your shower walls? The same thing happens on your clothes. That’s why detergents are so much better for you clothes. They rinse cleaner and leave less of a residual stink behind. I also highly recommend stripping your clothes every once in a while. Dumping them in a bathtub full of hot water with a cup of powdered laundry detergent (tide is the best), a cup of washing soda, and a cup of borax. You’ll be disgusted with what it pulls out, and amazed at how much better your laundry smells!

@sandracordes844 Год назад

Alex - good tip about the vinegar! I have discovered a wonderful laundry product - Tru Earth - it is dehydrated earth-friendly laundry soap that comes in a sheet and is packaged in a compostible box! No need to carry all the water in regular laundry soap home from the store in a non-recyclable plastic jug. I have been using Tru Earth for a year and a half and I am well pleased with the job it does. I'll try the vinegar, but this stuff is great!

@carriesessum2505 Год назад

I use vinegar for LOTS of cleaning.. when you are feeling a cold or sore throat come on , use apple cider vinegar 2 tablespoons and 2 tablespoons honey (local if possible) half a lemon squeezed and some warm almost hot water .I use the little mason jars to mix and measure in then you already have a cup too .

@Suebearish Год назад

You may want to consider having a pressurized rainwater catchment system installed so have as a backup. Was going to suggest the vinegar to make clothes smell clean and be soft. If people do use less healthy laundry stuff it also helps to get that residue out

I have tried natural detergent and vinegar but in the hot weather here and all the sweat, it unfortunately doesn't help when the clothes are soaked in sweat every day. However, even with the toxic detergents, there are different levels. Just going perfume free is making a big health difference when you deal with allergies. About heatwaves, yes we are getting to the time of the year when you are just tired of the heat. 95°F Jerusalem, Israel

@julievanbreemen7511 Год назад

Alex, Please consider another natural laundry idea. I have a product called Eco WasherPro. It is connected to my washing maching cold water line. When the water passes through the Eco Washer Pro it adds oxygen to the water and turns it into hydrogen peroxide. As we know water is H2O and water is H2O2 and hydrogen peroide kills germs. Ho spitals use Eco Washeres or some brand of the same sort of product. Also your cloths do not need fabric softener in the rinse cycle or in the dryer
