    Only those who’ve lived in the outback bush can understand your lifestyle. And a freedom that comes with it. Despite the heat dust etc you own it. It has its own beauty. Pleasure to watch now I’m 70 and can’t manage that anymore. Thank you. ❤

    "The lamb got my homework." Great story. Priceless. Really liked the craft the kids were doing. Really neat. The trees are so neat to watch being made. A rooster on your house. Off-grid in Australia for sure. Certainly doesn't happen at my house. Fun video Nyssa. Thank you.

    • @OurSmallFootprint
      @OurSmallFootprint  23 часа назад +1

      Lamington has managed to damage the screen door, impatient to get out to the paddock before we get it open, so now the rooster can wander in to the top of the house when he's looking for a cooler spot lol, the actual 'inside' of the house is closed off, but he makes himself at home where he can lol.
      The melty beads are pretty awesome, I like these kinda crafts that teach some fine motor skills, a bit of math etc, but they enjoy it and end up with things to show off!

    • @OurSmallFootprint
      @OurSmallFootprint  23 часа назад +2

      I know that there's a pressure having a camera running on myself all the time and I don't want that pressure on them, if they choose to show snippets they can be involved, but I don't want them to feel like they have to be 'on' when they don't want to hehe, that's a pressure for an adult who has made the choice, not them :D

    • @user-qd2wd7ns9uAnnie
      @user-qd2wd7ns9uAnnie 23 часа назад +2

      Well Nyssa in my opinion you are not showing your children (only if they wish) to gain content for RUclips as A LOT of people do, .. so it's a very responsible as a parent... 🙂

    • @user-qd2wd7ns9uAnnie
      @user-qd2wd7ns9uAnnie 23 часа назад

      I think your children are very lucky to be living the life they are.. you have no reason to worry about on line predators whom search on social media for content with children.. This is very worrying because some are exploiting their children. This is my opinion Nyssa of course we love to see the kids and how they have grown. But I especially like them helping you unpack your grocery haul.. 🙂

For me it’s been skim milk coffees, lots of salad and boiled eggs, and lots of Genetix protein powder in low fat yoghurt and icewater shakes. The Caramel one is good. Then a normal dinner but low carb, either a small baked potato or brown rice 😅 with meat or chicken or fish.

      The back of our property is a huge highway, I think that a lot of animals get dumped in the general area and make their way to somewhere that works for them if they can, because we have so many chooks already and free ranging animals there's always food here and lots of animal noise so I think we're just a focal point.

      Darryl is loving it, its working really well for him, I'm struggling a little, I don't have a great appetite at the best of times and then restricting so much of what I can eat makes it challenging for me to 'want' to eat and I'm probably not really eating enough. But I haven't weighed myself yet and am unsure if its reflecting on anything that way (not that my weight is my focus) so far pain wise I don't really feel any difference, but I think it will take longer for me to see how it goes, so we're doing the next 8 weeks no matter what and then we'll reassess!

      We have boards that rotate, Dishes get rotated, they hang and bring in the washing, general tidying of their living and eating spaces, they're not expected to do any deep cleaning unless we do it together as a project, but running a broom over walkways, tidying the bathroom up (washing in baskets and any toilet rolls etc picked up and in the bin) Their own rooms tidy/clothes put in drawers/tubs. They wipe down the kitchen benches after they've made their breakfasts etc, and yeah, animal chores, so all 6 have diff aspects of the nightly animal chores that we supervise, feeding and watering all the poultry, feeding the pigs and checking their water IBC is full, feeding the dogs etc.
      Some kids have extra jobs they enjoy, Sonnet is usually my whipper snipperer for example heh :). They all have the opportunity to do bigger jobs to earn rewards too, they don't take me up on it very often, but the offer is there lol.
