Jill Winger - Old Fashioned on Purpose
США
Добавлен 25 июл 2011
I'm Jill Winger, and, as young newlyweds, my husband Christian and I craved something more than the typical American existence. So we bought a tumbledown old farmhouse and subsequently stumbled upon the modern homesteading lifestyle.
We weren't born into a rural way of life, so we made ALL the mistakes at the beginning. But over the years, after a LOT of trial and error, we’ve figured out some pretty cool systems that allow us to grow a huge portion of our food AND create the simpler, more intentional life we’ve always wanted.
Through the weekly videos I share on my channel, I'll break down the more complex aspects of homesteading for you which will drastically shorten your learning curve as you look to cook from-scratch, grow amazing organic food, and live life on YOUR terms in every way possible.

S14 E3: The #1 Way to Save Money on Garden Seeds
Hi. Just came across your video. We are on the exact same boat with the writing curriculum. We tried IEW last year, and it felt terrible drawn out. Over the summer, we tried some of The Good and The Beautiful and it is going well so far so we are going to continue it into this year. We also are doing some writing strands interchangeably to see if we can grasp a favorite. 🤞
so many flies
Keep the little ones home. ❤
So mustard seed porridge is a definite no go. Good to know. 😂 #whodathunk
Homeschooling was the greatest joy for me! My children are grown now. Such great memories!
I have sincerely thought of designing covers for Math Mammoth as well😆🤪
If you haven’t looked into GuestHollow for science or history you may want to in the future. It is a literature based schedule/ curriculum That is great for readers. Lots of great books to choose from and well planned out.
How many cows do you guys run in your large herd?
There are forests all over Siberia. You can definitely grow trees.
Oh, this is great information! I got on the Internet and googled making refrigerator pickles with extra large cucumbers and you popped up. My husband doesn’t like the large pickling cukes and like you said it’s hard to get them while they’re the perfect size so this is great thank you so much for putting this out there
Ok here I go I'm a beginner sourdough baker😅
Logos Press has a more aesthetically pleasing Math Mammoth. Same curriculum but they created their own cover for it and it has color inside rather than black and white. We've loved using it!
7:21: you are definitely NOT lazy in any way! I planted my potatoes in the ground last year here in Michigan and every single one of my 70 plant’s potatoes had holes in them and many still contained wire worms! It was terrible! And they were 3/4 in deep in some of the potatoes so I had to throw all of my harvest out….this year I planted in 15 and 20 gallon felt pots and they are great..i could probably let the loose potting soil that gets very dry…serve as an insulated home and keep them in the garage or our work shop that is no windows and insulated walls and ceiling and gets down to about 40/45 degrees in the winter…
Thank you for letting us know how you use them! We've got too many videos from people who've never used them, showing us how they dehydrate them, but not what to do with them!
I push back on the sense of urgency I’m hearing in regard to high school. There is no reason a child has to hit 18 and be ready to take on the world on their own. I was getting that messaging when my two oldest hit high school, and it didn’t sit right with me. Junior High and High school are critical times to impart our values, to have deep critical discussions and to mentor young adults. My oldest homeschooled entirely, and then went to a nearby college (and maybe this is a difference if you have no nearby college opportunities). We have been blessed to interact with her weekly and be a support as she takes on more and more independence. Our son is doing a mix his senior year - taking 3 classes at the local high school, taking 1 course online, and 4 courses with me. He’s 18, and we give him the rights and privileges of adulthood. Living with adult children is a challenging but wonderful time of life. I’m glad we resisted the urge to push them out of the nest too fast. They do of course understand they are expected to complete their education and launch. But interdependence and secure attachment are wonderful qualities in a family. All this to say a charter school can absolutely be the right move for a particular kid, but rest assured there is always time to learn more and to have new experiences.
Love this entire video! For creative writing I would look into Clear Water Press. It’s not as well now but is wonderful! Thanks for sharing! Have loved watching your channel evolve over the years.😊❤
Hello Do you keep adding flour and water everyday after day 3 for how many days does it usually take to build a strong starter
Hi and thanks for your video! I watch this every time I make sourdough. But when I make my dough using your recipe it always is very wet. I have to keep adding flour in order to not have it stick to my fingers and the bowl. Is that normal?
In my rural area there are alot of " homeschooling " families. They keep their kids home from school...
Where’s the mother?
I would love to hear more about the charter school
I just made this bread recipe and omg?? The bread is so delicious!!! Thank you! You made making bread so easy!
How many hours overnight?
I don't know if you answer questions here, but here it goes....What have you used for TEACHING reading. I've not found a program that really seems to work so far. I am actively involved in all lessons. Did you use LLATL to teach reading? The blue book and red book?
thanks for sharing! I have kids that are homeschooling and we homeschooled our children for a few years about 20 years ago. There are so many great resources now!
Thanks for this video! It's been a subject on my mind for awhile. We're still new, so I'm not done figuring out what not to do! 😂😂
Excellent point - at least what they would get in public if not better! Unfortunately, I see so many that are not even close to public level where we live now / remote area. When raising our girls, we decided public wasn't best but by getting involved & volunteering at school, we could make it better plus outside activities and farm raised - resulted in both have their own little families now and are doing exceptional (no bias here LOL). Blessings always & keep being kind.
YESSSSSSSS!!!!!!! Thank you!!! I am also a 2nd Gen homeschooler mom. Preach it!!! I can't say this enough, you are saying everything I say and believe. Thank you!!!
I want to speak to moms of older children who have chosen to homeschool, if I may. I have successfully homeschooled 5 children to adulthood, I have 6 more coming. I own a business, we have a lot going on. I agree wholeheartedly that they should all read well and be able to do enough math to thrive in adulthood, speak tonadults, etc., but we've chosen a very different path than what Jill describes as ideal and it has worked. My older kids mostly self-teach, my husband and I are available to facilitate as needed. I have chosen curriculum with video teaching for math and science. Our kids have been very involved with our church, and my older kids had excellent outside classes in middle school and high school, one day per week for 8 weeks in fall and 8 weeks in spring (not available to us currently). They did some babysitting/nannying/mothers helper type jobs, stacking firewood, renovations, odd jobs, etc. but I couldn't manage a ton of driving. I did some, and they were able to bike to some, too. God has placed each child into the family where He wants them. Some will have great capacity and do all sorts of wonderful projects that may seem more impressive than the Mom like me with babies and toddlers as well as grown children, a business, and not a lot of capacity in comparison. We too can still have exceptional, well equipped children without sending them to school. I just wanted to encourage Moms that are more like me, because if I wasn't as confident as I am and perhaps if i didn't already have adult children, all doing well, I would have felt very inadequate after watching this.
@@sarahp2400 thank you so saying this, x
Agreed! I agree the highschoolers need to be out of the house a lot more, but I have chosen to homeschool my high school or as well and she's doing great. Very self taught as I also have littles :-)
😮 o my God that's real milk
I wish you American friends would use real measurements. E.G. GRAMS or O.Z,
We joined the homeschool community due to Covid- which was the best decision and have continued since. My kids are getting a much fuller and academically rigorous education at home than they were in the public school system.
Ha! I listened to this episode bc I just wanted to reminisce 😅. I miss homeschooling and those years of my kids being at home. Hooray for Explode the Code and All About Spelling and CURSIVE!! 🎉🎉🎉 God bless your new school year.
We just started our 6th year homeschooling! I saved TGATB reading assessment a d give it to my girls each year to track progress. My oldest had just completed 4th grade in public school when we decided to homeschool. She could only read at 2nd grade level and do 2nd grade level work when we started on this journey. I just gave the reading assessment at the end of her 9th grade year and she is at 10th grade level!! Big win for homeschooling! I plan to homeschool both my girls through high school. Both my girls have had to deal with the "mean" girl. Hard to watch but does help them grow as an individual. I also agree that when homeschooling you want to give your children a better education they what they would get in public and I would add private school. At least around me private schools have dumbed everything down as much as the public schools.
Thank you for sharing. My sister homeschools her 4 kiddos. I forwarded this great info to her! Thanks again!
Hello just found you. My children and I are getting ready for our 3rd year (7 and almost 6 in less than a month 😊) and they've never been to public school. we currently use Sonlight for the past 2 years and we love it. Not sure if i love it because i dont know any different but it for now works well for us. Kinda on this journey alone as I don't know anyone else who homeschools. I do even at their ages keep them in extracurricular activities so they can learn to handle different types of personalities. Children at all ages can just be mean. Anyway i appreciate your input and these are other curriculum for me to consider. And i look forward to seeing what else is on your channel. Be well
I homeschooled my kids (now 27 and 23) using Sonlight. Best years and so many beautiful memories of reading the BEST books together! Wishing you a year of amazing time snuggled on the couch reading together. ❤
We use Sonlight too, we love it. We have been homeschooling for almost 5 years, the last 3 with Sonlight.
@ceralamken6138 Wow, ladies, I'm so glad to hear this! I had no idea what I was doing when I began (still learning) and there was so much curriculum out there I was overwhelmed trying to find something that was NOT public school learning as I did not want for them. At the same time, I made sure it was just as good, if not better, than the school system. This makes me feel like I'm on the right track because every now and then, I have my doubts as a young mother who's new to this that I'm doing what's best for them. Be well, ladies, and many blessings @jessicajones611
If I may ask. We use the math u see from Sonlight and it seems to be good but I've also had people say it's not the best. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated 🙏
@@LadyMcGinnis I started my kids with Saxon Math wayyyyy back when but didn’t prefer the elementary levels of the curriculum so switched my son to Math U See bc he just didn’t hold on to concepts with the spiral method of Saxon. For him it was the very best thing bc he was able to master a concept and feel really successful as he progressed through. Happy to report that he’s how a full fledged adult with a career! 😆. My daughter was 100% a math and science brain and she wizzed through Math U See at double time. Once we got to algebra I actually switched her back to Saxon math and she did very well. She was very well prepared to enter college math (which she did at 15 at our community college), so I sorta disagree that Saxon isn’t rigorous. She was absolutely prepared for all that college algebra, trigonometry and calculus expected based on the foundation of Saxon, and in fact ended up tutoring other students older than her in college who came out of public school. I’ve been out the of curriculum game for a number of years now, so I don’t have experience with the math curriculum Jill was touting. For younger students I fully recommend Math U See bc it teaches them to think mathematically and does so incrementally. Just my experiences. 😊
How long does the ground tomatoes last?
Enjoyed the homeschool curriculum update! Thanks for sharing. We too have struggled finding a good writing but landed on Wordsmith Apprentice this year and are loving it.
100 percent agree on the “unschooler” style of parents. Many give the kids zero schooling and use it as an excuse to not teach the kids at all.
Retired homeschooler here, 15 years. Mostly classical-eclectic. Total curriculum geek. Curriculum I found highly successful (note some of them are the sit on the couch and discuss type, not the workbook type): grammar and writing by Susan Wise Bauer (The Well-Trained Mind). The Story of the World by Susan Wise Bauer. Denise Eide's Logic of English reading/spelling, Michael Clay Thompson's Language series (Royal Fireworks Press) as a supplement to Bauer's. Michael Clay Thompson's Caesar's English I & II for Latin and Greek root words. Great supplements: Better Sentence Structure through Diagramming Book 1 and Book 2 by Mark Dressel and Gerd Carnevale. Don and Jenny Killgallon's Sentence Composing for Elementary School and Grammar for Middle School: A Sentence Composing Approach. For Morning Basket (15 minutes at the start of the day, one poem/painting/interesting fact. per day with review: these are examples book of this type will do): The Barefoot Book of Classic Poems by Jackie Morris, The Art Book for Children and The Art Book for Children Two by Phaidon, various illustrated decks of cards (one card a day): the states, the constellations, birds, bones of the body, parts of a car, whatever. Also great: a history timeline they illustrate in on cards and paste up around the room, memorizing poetry, hands-on science supplemented by documentaries and trips to museums, and lots of free reading of their choice and lots of time to play outdoors.
What a great problem to have!
Gorgeous productive garden! 😍 Over here in TX without irrigation, trying to revive my medicinal perennials every couple of days 😬

Cover is always something I struggle with
I'm so excited to try this. Thank you 😊
I had settled on the American Bresse chicken prior to buying my farm this year. A local vendor at the farmers market was selling AB meat. She does not finish them out on milk or any special diet. The meat is fantastic. A little over a month ago I bought eight hens and a rooster. I just hatched 15 a couple days ago and I have another 55 in the incubators. Out of the 85 eggs that I’ve put in the incubators only one was not fertile. That rooster is getting the job done. My flock came out of Florida, so I’ll probably be swapping some roosters with the farmers market vendor.
When you cut up the store potatoes to plant, is the part with a sprout the only part that can be planted? Does curing them mean to dry them?
I have raised several breeds for meat and eggs and I have recently gotten into the American Bresse and I am sooo happy with them also in the temperament and ease of care. They are hard to find. Northstar is a good breeder but they are pretty far south from you. Can’t wait to hear your review!
