Since you like to clean with vinegar, let me make a suggestion. I place orange peels in a jar with vinegar and clean with the new more powerful vinegar. It also has a great scent.
Yup! Orange peels here too...and/or rosemary sprigs are great too!! And a friend recently told me about soaking pine needles in the vinegar as well... maybe that's where 'pine- sol' originally came from?! 🤔
I live in Texas, I call my place “the Psychguru’s Hobby Farm” I have 4 chickens, and I grow food for the chickens and myself! I’m a psychotherapist, and I offer “ Dirt Therapy” ! Living close to the earth is so therapeutic ! We all need to slow down and live at the speed of real life ! People like you give us all hope for the future! Much love to your family!
I didn't know you all lost a baby. I am so, so sorry. We lost a baby in 2015. That was definitely the hardest year of our lives. Thank you for sharing your authentic hearts. Your story is really encouraging.
@@MikeTheFitFarmer I have had a stillborn son in 1979 and lost another age 21 just ten months after my husband died kn 2000 and 2001. It never goes completely away. I am remarried and hubs and I are glued to your channel. We are 62 and about to move from the suburbs to a cabin in the mountains of VA and it is tiny tiny tiny less than 400 sq feet and we will be terrace gardening. We are finalizing our move from NC to the cabin and will also be doing a greenhouse. Your family is inspiring and we are working hard at becoming more fit and healthy. I recognize the God in your lives even by the names of your children. blessings from our place to yours, juanita mae
In a time when people show off online and pretend everything is going perfectly, your honesty is a breath of fresh air. And goodness your kids are sweet and cute, y'all doing something right!
Friends of my Dad lived in a yurt just like yours. They added another yurt that they bought used and attached it to the main yurt by a breezeway. Keep your eyes and ears out for another yurt and do the same. They made the extra yurt the bedrooms and another bathroom. I loved visiting them during the summer. We all grew up together and still close all these fifty years (or more, lol). They lived in the high desert in California. We so enjoy your videos. Many Blessings and Love from Texas.
The memories and the closeness you share with your beautiful wife and kids, will keep your family so close and bonded. What a blessing to have that. Prayers for your family brother
Good morning, something to truly think about. Like the joy of slamming the phone down after a rant on the phone, can't do that with the cell phones. So slamming the door as you lock yourself up in your "own space" doesn't work in a yurt too. LOL! Truly something to truly think about. Having the right partner is the key to surviving that living situation. It's great that you two found the right person! :) Have a great day.
I also found you through the Rhodes and Hollars. I had noticed that you live in a yurt and I am glad you gave us a tour. I had seen videos of yurt living on U-tube before and I was curious about yours. Thank you for sharing your life with us. You are a great and hard working family. I wish you much success!
Very nice setup 💕 I’m so impressed with the children’s precision cleaning abilities 💯 So sweet unveiling the sink so you could see how clean it is 🥳 The loft will be perfect for your daughter 🙋🏼♀️
Wow! Ive just discovered your channel. I have to say I really love and respect your honesty in describing your journey and experience in embracing your homesteading lifestyle. I'm really sorry to hear about the loss of your unborn baby, that must have been a really challenging time for your family. Thank you for including us all in this journey you have taken. Very informative and enlightening videos for those of us who are considering this lifestyle. Keep up the great work guys!
I'd love to hear about your homeschooling! I just finished 21 years of homeschooling. I graduated child #5 from high school this June. I loved homeschooling my kids and am always curious about how other people do it. It's unique for each family (even for each kid!).
Happy 4th of July! Found your channel when watching my some of my favorites, The Rhodes, Hollar Homestead, Sow the Land in North Carolina, Lummah Acres, both Weed em and Reap and My Little Homestead in Arizona and Doug and Stacy. Being an armchair builder and farmer all you people keep my life filled with hope of how America is Great and you one farm at a time are making it better all the time. God Bless and thanks for keeping these videos going. My husband always wanted to live in a yurt but it's not in the cards for me so again thanks for sharing...
We lost a daughter when we were stationed in The Philippines. We understand the challenge of going through that phase of family life. If you have not gone through that experience, you could never really know that horror. I am an American, my wife is a Filipina. We have a small 247 square foot Apartment in Manila and a small home on our very rural,area of The Philippines. Our province is a small islands province in the central part of the archipelago. I really enjoy your channel. Your videos are very straight forward and informative. Your goals are very realistic. Please continue to be safe. God bless America.
Thank you so much for watching Jim we really appreciate it. We are also so very sorry for the loss of your daughter. Blessings to you and your family! God bless!
Very nice tour of your home yurt! I think it's amazing. Love how you all come together to keep it nice and clean and homey! Blessings from NE Missouri!
I love y'alls videos, I am learning alot. My sister likes the necklace that your wife wears ( making flu/ cold treatment video). Does she make her own jewlery?
We are living in Georgia and thinking about a Yurt. May I ask what state you live in? I am concerned about high winds here and am curious if you have trouble with that.
I'd LOVE a yurt! I'm in an RV! LOL. I've been in an RV for 3 years. I am sickofit!! 😜 My kids are older and gone...I think a yurt would be awesome! Y'all have done a fantastic job!
@@jacquelynemerick148 Oh I bet! We have 15 acres and a lot of work to do, but Texas heat keeps me in the RV for all but about 4 hours a day. LOL. I love Fall! C'mon Fall!
@@320homestead9 hey we are in Texas also! So true about the heat. We stay inside except for mornings or later when the sun is going down. The cloudy days are such blessings because then we can go outside more! I'd be outside a little more but it is too hot for my baby right now. Lol small world!
You all seem to function very well together , but someday when you get a break from market gardening and other chores, you might want to build a shed for family members to get away for some quiet time now and then .. 😊
Me too!! Enjoying your channel and 'getting to know you all!!' We are in the process of fixing our house up (we are in eastern NC) and getting it on the market here (HOPEFULLY!) really soon... (we can see glimmers of light in the tunnel- yayy!) then we are taking our crew (5 out of 6 of us!) in my in- laws RV that we are borrowing and heading 'out west'... western NC that is! 😜 We want to take some time to explore and feel some of the areas out that we think might be a good fit for our family, before we take the full in plunge and settle on a place to begin our homesteading journey! You all are very inspiring!! Thanks so much for opening up your home and your lives to us all!! Blessings to your family!! 💗 PS Your kids are adorable... and I totally want to thank you... I had my kids watch your kids cleaning g up around the house and SMILING while they were helping out and working!! Very effective motivation you provided there! 👍
We are a family of 5 and we also sold our 2200sqft home and downsized to 400sqft. It's an adjustment and does require constant intentional decisions but I wouldn't change it. It makes it possible for our family to have more time together.
I would love to hear more about yurt living and homeschooling! I'm also in love with the way you guys live and so close as a family! Much Love, Misty and Madi 🌼
SOOOOOOOO Glad I found your channel. I Subscribed about five minutes into the first video I saw. I could tell imediately this was something I wanted to watch and keep up with.
Long live American Freedom! Your Yurt living is a great statement towards that! You know it was quite a compliment to us to share such an intimate peek into your home. That is a pretty awesome setup you all have created! You should be proud of it. Thank You.
We turned off the internet and cellphones, took the monthly payments we were spending on them and started a savings account for a yurt, it's our 5 year plan. We want a place to go, without electricity and all the distractions, to meet with the Lord and learn many musical instruments, shofars, uke's, bongos, harp, guitars etc and teach our grandchildren how to worship! Blessings to you and your family
Loved this video, but especially enjoyed the arial view of the layout of the property from the drone. I really does look like home. God bless your family with joy.
Great video Mike, Lacie and family! Love your honesty and well, I just love your whole family. Cutest babies ever 🥰. I think you should re-title this video to, “Our problems and Solutions to living in a Yurt!” You’re upfront and honest, but also finding solutions for your issues. Mike, you’re a lucky man, Lacie is so beautiful and smart. Keep up the videos. My babies are grown, and we didn’t homeschool, but if I had one do-over, it would be to homeschool them. There’s no way I would send my kids to public school in this day and age. One of my daughters is a kindergarten teacher, it’s so scary and it breaks our hearts that she has to do “shooter safety drills.” 😢. Seeing how you do homeschool would be fantastic.
Deepest condolences for your huge loss from Ithaca, NY. May you all be blessed. Your videos always make me smile. You both have such lovely, warm hearts.
I think one of my favorite Parts about your channel and your videos is that you genuinely loved each other as a family and you really do believe in the Lord thank you so much for showing that part of your life a lot of people wouldn't and y'all too and I think that is amazing thing that you do that. I wanted to say thank you just thank you so much for the clean videos that you put out you don't put out crap I can actually let my kids watch this. Thank you and God bless for my family to yours and please keep up the good work we love it when your wife is there all the time is so awesome you got a great family tell them thank you too
@3:01 Sorry for your loss, unfortunately, I know the pain of losing a child and the challenges moving on with life are . Both of you have such bright light in your eyes and love between you that it is so inspiring to hear your story and the beautiful life you have built together as a family despite the dark times.
Family is a lot about Building itself in every form of life, so as you grow everything grows with you and it’s all made with LOVE to pass on to the future Yurtlife 🥰 I Think it’s Awesome Go Bless you on Your Journey 🙏🏼
Hello, My name is Shirley. I watched several of your video's last night and I really do like them. I only follow 3 others and you are the 4th I will be following. I appreciate the time it has taken for you to learn all that you know on your homestead and your home. Thank you for your time and your knowledge. God bless.
You guys are SO LIKABLE! such a beautiful family! I "found you" when you posted the video where you went to help the Hollars. I'd love to know more about the yurt- I'm assuming it's lower priced than traditional home building.... and it's probably on a raised floor system, right? no insulation?
Lacy and Mike, just love your family. Love to see children that don't mind helping out. They are so cute and sweet. Love the yurt, so cool. Thanks for the tour.
Happy Independence Day to the Dicksons. Keep sharing. I absolutely love the strength and level of love within this family. You guys are so inspirational to me. May God continue to bless the Dickson family.
Aloha from Kauai!!! Happy Independence Day from our family to yours!!! There's lots of yurts here on Kauai. One warning is do not be in one during floods,...
Thanks for the tour. Even with the challenges you all have made a great home and have everything that's important. Just to live on your beautiful land and have the lifestyle you have outweighs all the bad 😊
Thanks for sharing this video. I especially appreciated the section on cleaning and organizing spaces. Those topics can be used anywhere you live with kids. Thanks again.
Your respect for your wife is awesome. You two are such a cute couple. From nothing to paradise...So very sorry for the loss of your child, many blessings for YOUR whole family. God will continue to bless your homestead.
it's so nice to have a nice husband who can help you build such a beautiful dorm and your children are very adorable I was just watching them for a long. Of time trying to study their faces that's so beautiful anyway continue showing your house and you're all just enjoying one another
Just found yr website guys!! I'm an inner london city kid which is many throws from yr idilic life - absolutely wonderful & an added educational bonus!! Thank you!!💖
New subscriber here. I really like your style. Easy living with a really laid back personality. You're a beautiful family. Thanks for sharing your story.
Gr8 video. One tiny house family has a rule that for every 1 item brought into the house - 2 items have to go out. Keeps them with just what they need.

Melissa Peltier I have mint in my flower bed, I’m going to try that 💕
Just started doing that myself, use grapefruit and lemon,lime as well . Love it
What's the ratio to water do u add any water to the vinegar?
@@nataliet129 no water is added. Just place the peels in a jar and cover with vinegar.
Thank you for this video. Most who show off their yurts just paint a rosie picture. Love the honest assessment.

Mom lost my sister in 1977. Dating myself here a bit but I remember those dark days like they were 45 minutes ago rather than almost 45 yrs

Thank you for sharing your lives with us. I'm so sorry for the loss of your baby.
I love how uour family works as a team!. Isn't that really what life is all about? Your children are learning great lessons for all of life.
You all really took care with your children's names - love them all from Selah to Josiah and Micah. God bless - ;^)

I like y'alls way of introducing your home to us. This was educational. Y'all are cool people and I am happy to watch the vid. Have a blessed week.
I love what y'all are doing! You two seem so sweet. The yurt functions just like any other home I see, it's really neat.

I don’t have kids but I plan to go tiny and have a garden and homeschool one day. Super interested in the homeschooling. New subbie

Sorry for your loss.Every life is a blessing.
Not everyone can say they live in a yurt.The dishwasher I wasn't expecting.
Interesting to hear the year-to-year progression of building your homestead.
Incredible how you have squeezed 5 into a tiny yurt ! Well done Mike !
I've been in my 30 ft Pacific Yurts yurt since the summer of 2009...and if I had it to do all over I would do it again in a heartbeat.
We are living in Georgia and thinking about a Yurt. May I ask what state you live in? I am concerned about high winds here and am curious if you have trouble with that.

Yes please do a video on why you chose a yurt 😊
So sorry to hear about the loss of your baby...I lost a baby girl also...would love to hear more about that story❤️
Thank you for the tour of your home/yurt. Not totally surprised that its bigger inside than what you'd expect. Enjoyed the open +/- of your home.
You all seem to function very well together , but someday when you get a break from market gardening and other chores, you might want to build a shed for family members to get away for some quiet time now and then .. 😊
The children did a great job helping to clean the yurt🌸🌼🌝!
The only thing I think u guys will need an addition one definitely for your daughter she's getting older and she will need privacy.
I agree. Maybe as the kids get older build mini yurts off of the main yurt. 🦋🌸🌼🍄
Good information. First saw you on The Hollar Homestead demo day in NC.

Hello, My name is Shirley. I watched several of your video's last night and I really do like them. I only follow 3 others and you are the 4th I will be following. I appreciate the time it has taken for you to learn all that you know on your homestead and your home. Thank you for your time and your knowledge. God bless.
So glad you did not give up your dream! Loved the tour. Happy 4th yall!
Thank you. Happy 4th to you too!!
We moved from a three bedroom two bath normal house to a 425 ft.² RV you definitely have to downsize love the cleaning half the time

I, too, found y'all via the Hollars!!
Me too! I love the whole video and the song at the end was inspiring
Very true
Lacy and Mike, just love your family. Love to see children that don't mind helping out. They are so cute and sweet. Love the yurt, so cool. Thanks for the tour.
Happy Independence Day to the Dicksons. Keep sharing. I absolutely love the strength and level of love within this family. You guys are so inspirational to me. May God continue to bless the Dickson family.
Loved your charming characters and presentation of your home. Never knew a yurt could be great home! God Bless from a fan in Japan
Beautiful Yurt, God bless your Family, Keep doing a good work as a Family.

Great use of space! I vote to move Selah up to the loft, she will love it. ❤️
I don't live in a yurt, but we moved from 2,000 sq ft with a garage and barn, to 858 sq ft. Everything is in a 10x30 storage unit.
Y’all are such a nice family who show such love
Thanks for the tour. Even with the challenges you all have made a great home and have everything that's important. Just to live on your beautiful land and have the lifestyle you have outweighs all the bad 😊
Everything looks so practical, functional and lovely. 😊
I love this and how transparent yall are about living in a smaller space.
Awesome, guys! Just found you through the Green Dream Project's Greensteading Conference. Cool to see your living setup. Thanks for sharing!
Great video, thank you for sharing. Have a Blessed Week **HUGS & PRAYERS** from Kelly and critters at Piney Haven Homestead.

Great video guys, you have really done a lot with limited space. Amazing!
Gr8 video. One tiny house family has a rule that for every 1 item brought into the house - 2 items have to go out. Keeps them with just what they need.
