    Life off grid isn't much different than the life we had before we moved off grid, except we have a lot more TIME. Time to do the things WE want to do now that we're retired...versus working on someone else's schedule. In this season of my mom-life, homeschooling is my first priority along with the usual homemaking duties; cooking cleaning & lovin' on my sweet family! Come along with us for a realistic day in our life here on our off grid Alaska homestead. We're giving the chickens some outside play time, doing homeschool & making some homemade meat stock. Hope you enjoy this glimpse into our day, thanks for joining us for another video!

    Carrots
    1TBS Salt (ex: sea salt or pink Himalayan salt, not iodized table salt)
    1 Garlic clove
    Purified water
    1 clean quart jar
    Place 1 garlic clove & 1 TBS salt in quart jar. Peel & quarter carrots. Pack carrots into jar as TIGHT as you can squeeze them in. Fill jar with water, make sure carrots are completely submerged. Put a coffee filter or clothe over top of the jar, secure with a string or jar ring. Allow to ferment on the counter at room temp for at least 5 days. (I prefer 10 days, longer the ferment, more tangy the carrots). Remove coffee filter or clothe & secure a lid on the jar, place in the fridge & enjoy! They'll be good for months in the fridge!

    Place approx 1-2 quarts of water per pound of meat/bones into your pot. Add all of your veggies & seasonings. Simmer on low for 3-5 hours stirring occasionally. Strain the solids off & pour stock into clean containers/jars & store in the fridge for up to 5-6 days. Can also be frozen!

    Sometimes life can seem chaotic, but I know one day it won't be as noisy and I will miss the pitter patter of the footsteps running up & down the stairs, the loud remote control cars & the mounds of laundry. So for now, I'm soaking it all in! Everything I love under this one lil roof! Thanks for hangin' out with us today...just a realistic day in our life here in our little 576 sq ft cabin in Alaska. I feel like we're finally settling into this retirement life. Slow and easy, really enjoying our time together as a family. Happy to have ya'll along with us, love our RUclips family! Don't forget to check out our links in the video description & recipes for the meat stock & DELICIOUS fermented carrots!😘

    I hope Kellen’s grandma is able to watch him thrive with your family. No matter what happens in his future, your family and Alaska has molded him forever. I’m so impressed with your homeschooling.

    Nice surprise on a Saturday night. I love this kind of video a lot. Just hanging out at the cabin. The dogs are so precious and full of personality. Rusty & Asher are getting so big. Lexi has beautiful hair and skin. Your property is really looking like a homestead. How great will it be to have a garage, a greenhouse and the new bedroom? So much to look forward to. I really appreciate all your hard work editing these videos🤎

    Hi from Jamaica. Love you guys. It warms my heart to see Joe interact with Callen. Joe is such a softie. But best of all he cracks me up with his subtle humour. 🤣 Great job Tina holding it all together for your family. Can't wait to see your garden. God bless you all

    Tina! You are an awesome woman! I see how you are the glue and the strength that binds your beautiful family together! Joe reminds me of my own husband in so many ways too. You and Joe are doing a great job building up your homestead! Keep up the great work. You long distance friend, Italia Patterson from Uncasville,Ct!

    The pups cracked me up looking at their toy on the steps. The homestead is looking so different with the snow melting.
