    Powdered yarrow is also great for stopping bleeding -- like styptic powder. If you cut yourself you can sprinkle on the powder to stop bleeding. When we've been working in the yard and cut ourselves, we'll even pick some leaves and wrap them around the cut. It's a great plant.

    Left handed here and I had a left handed son too. Life is different as a left handed person and there is a lot of things that are harder to do for sure. Love the soap. I use the liquid Castile soap with water to make foaming hand soap. I have never seen it made from bar soap. That looks awesome!

    I love to see homemade products that people have actual experience using. Thanks for also explaining your rationale for each ingredient you add. I didn't know abut using yarrow and dandelion in these applications, so I appreciate the information. Greetings from mid-Ohio!

    I am left handed also and I’ve always said it’s a right handed world. Lol My daughter and son are both right handed and I learned when they were young that when I taught them, I sat across from them instead of beside them. That way they got a mirror image from me. It was a great help! I also do that when I’m learning embroidery, sewing, or quilting skills from others. Amazing how this simple solution opened things up for me. Just a suggestion, if you sit the grater on the counter with a piece of parchment paper under it, it stabilizes it and helps you turn it backwards like lefty’s have to do. Hope this little tidbit of info helps your girls.

    I wish school had been this awesome when I was younger. Your children are learning the basics of reading, writing, math, etc. and life skills that are immeasurable in their value. I hope they know how fortunate they are in the childhood they're experiencing.

I am so glad SARAH FROM LIVING TRADITION HOMESTEAD told us about your all things for August your store put up and all that you do. I love watching Sarah & Kevin and the behind the scene the girls. I truly gonna start canning. I think that would be easy and for your lotion and hand soap. Love how you ladies inspire me. Thank you so much and GOD BLESS.

    Congratulations!!! Oh, I am so excited for you!! I really enjoyed this video. How you think out and process everything you do and then explain to others is such a gift. I have wondered about leaving wipes in any liquid and sure enough you said "they can mold", answered my thought question. Does your son who loves to cook not enjoy being on camera? I loved watching him when he was baking but haven't seen him for awhile. Your children gain so much life practical lessons from you it will so pay off when they are grow not matter what they chose to do. One of my sons is a bank vp but he can also jump on the tractor level a pasture, run a fence line, raise any animal of choice, fish and hunt. Life skills are worth everything.

    2 of my boys are left-handed, the other 2 are right-handed. Both my girls are left-handed. My husband is right-handed and I’m ambidextrous- which came in handy during exam time. All my husbands family re right-handed and so are all of mine except my eldest sister and my father! You have inspired/motivated me to get back into making liquid soap again. I used to, and I make our laundry powder. Thank you for sharing your family with us.

    I’m left-handed for writing, but I do most other things right-handed. When your girls write, do they hook their left hand around? That is supposedly a sign of a very creative person, and your girls are definitely creative!

  • @storytellersharonkirkclift6399

    Since I discovered your channel a few weeks ago, I have watched it regularly. I love every aspect of it. I do have one wish. When you prepare several recipes, for example, as is the case with this great one on DIY skincare products, I wish you included timestamps. Perhaps that's a difficult thing to do--I'm no techy, so I really don't know how hard that is--but if it's fairly simple, it would be helpful. Sometimes, when I need something, I don't have time to re-watch the entire video to find a particular topic.

    You are such an inspiration. I literally look forward to all of your videos, Instagram posts, etc. daily. Your story on the last video was very touching and I admire your commitment to the Lord! He is using you to reach others in a powerful way. I would ask one thing, selfishly. Would you please, please write a book? Please pray about that! 😉 I would buy it in a heartbeat and treasure your wisdom! Many Blessings, Jessica! PS, I’m left handed too and can remember my first grade teacher slapping my hand as well and trying to get me to use my right hand. It didn’t work!

  • @forrestgump9576
    @forrestgump9576 Před rokem

    I used your liquid soap recipe as a shampoo, and it works great! I have long hair like you and have had a problem with it being tangly and snarly when I comb it, no matter what products I tried. It does not do that anymore! The bar soap I use is an all natural vegan one called Sappo Hill soap. We butchered our first cow this fall and I rendered all of the tallow I could. I got soap making supplies for Christmas so I am looking forward to making bar soap and the lotion!! And you can believe I will try it as a shampoo too!

    Lefties unite!!!!!!😻
    I never had a problem at school but did with my mother. This was many years ago but getting caught using my left hand would get me the hazelnut switch.
    This did result in my ability to use my right hand for many things but some things like using scissors I’m in a no man’s land. I love to sew but my scissors have a very short lifespan.when using right hand scissors apparently the way I am holding them is applying pressure to that joint that holds the 2 pieces together and after a few months of usage they will pop apart. With left handed scissors i end up hacking repeatedly without success or causing a fraying of the fabric.
    If I would just spend some dedicated time to train myself I could probably become normal on one hand but I’ve just never done it.

    Love seeing the kids learn to do by doing! That's how I raised my kids too and you'll be happy that they are so willing to try things out when they turn into adults. Lots of my friends asked me how I raised my kids. Where did you find that soap dispenser? It's pretty and would fit into our homestead decor really well.

    Go lefties!! I'm the only left handed one in our home. It has its challenges,but it also has its perks. As I cook or have a project I have things laid out opposite of my right handed husband , it's always nice because he stays out of my way.
    I have also found it helps me think outside the box. Us lefties are always having to adapt and overcome, which leads to some creative efficent ways of doing things.

    I agree with the right- left hand statement. My eldest son who is 40 had this same problem with his teachers. I was not a mom who would tolerate such behavior with and from an adult. I Will just say we never had an issue after that and I’m a proud mama of 2 left hand boys. One 40 and the other 21 🥰

My 6 yr old does things with both hands. Her writing is neater with her left hand but she naturally grabs things with her right🤷‍♀️
