The Start of Something Beautiful

Beautiful days preparing the homestead, getting ready for a chicken coop, renovating, tending to the garden, working in the hot sun, bathing in the river, harvesting, foraging, baking and enjoying the fur baby.

For the mold- unfortunately, the paint just forces it in the opposite direction/behind the walls. Mold is almost impossible to stop w/o full physical removal. To 'stabelize' its spores you spray it with vinegar (not diluted) or strong % peroxide (which cannot be exposed to sunlight or it destroys the hydrogen molecule and becomes water) repeat in 12 hours, then remove all drywall, wood, etc, . Respray everything with either of those before said compounds and let air dry for a week or so before covering it back up with new wood or drywall. Good call on the mask, but I'd triple down with a resperator one (filters) goggles and protective skin wear. Mold is easily absorbed into our bodily systems and can be a nightmare to remove. Best of luck.

HARPER has easily become my favorite kitty on YouTube ❤

Mold is also behind the wall. I hope you can change those walls as soon as possible. My friend ended up getting cancer from mold behind the wall. ❤

Hi Allie! The garden looks so gorgeous! As a lady with a couple daughters older than you and Kyle, and someone who's been watching your and Kyles videos for years, i feel totally justified in saying i am SO proud of how far you have come in your business journey AND your youtube journey as well!

Those cupcakes looked absolutely delicious! And what a flavor combo 😋. I’m so glad that Harper is healing and I cannot wait to see how she grows along with your homestead 🏡

Your garden is so stunning, Ally! We know first hand how laborious and tedious it is to level big slabs. Watching your video reminds me of when we built our patio 🫣 So much effort but so worth it! A place to entertain and enjoy hearty meals and memories with family & friends. The fruits of your labour too will be worth it!! Keep it up 😊 And as always, thank you for taking us along for the journey! ❤

Your garden turned out beautifully and I know it's just the beginning. We are happy to hear little Harper is on the mend. And I bet the lilac-infused icing made the cupcakes taste amazing. We are trying to grow lavender to make lavender lemonade this summer.🍋🌱

Love your videos, beautiful garden. Love your tiny beautiful kitten Harper. I have 3 rescues, all different ages. Our male kitty needed to have surgery, they put a baby onesie, on him. I just ended up cutting some of it off, so it looked more like a baby
t-shirt, it was a better fit and not so snug on him. He never messed with his stitches.
