Farmhouse Fabrics Barnyard Knits

Be cautious of local cleaning products. Lots of people sell "homemade laundry detergent," that's basically grated soap with a couple other ingredients. Soaps are a bad idea in modern washing machines. There is a fundamental difference between "soap" and "detergent." For the longevity of your washer, stick with detergents. And I don't know of any that aren't made by some flavor of mega-corp or some sort of multi-level marketing scheme (Amway or Melaleuca).

I do like Le Blanc laundry detergent and linen water. (I'm weird. I also have an unhealthy obsession with household linens). They're pricey, but they are a joy to use. If you're just modifying your practices for a month - you could do worse than just indulging in one bottle.

Are they setting an impossibly high standard? Presenting a fake vision of the Homesteading Movement? Is it doing a disservice to people who are just starting to make first steps into slow living?

Jill Winger of The Prairie Homestead voices some concerns on her podcast, "Old Fashioned on Purpose." I think slavish devotion to cooking like Mrs. Crocombe, or setting up a genuine Victorian Farm a la the BBC might, indeed, be carrying things too far. But might there, at the same time, be some genuine value in those gorgeous images - even if there IS a filter making those eggs look so blue?
