Living a life full of adventure is important to us! We’re never bored on the homestead… too busy to be bored! This category is a hodgepodge of life! From projects on the homestead, family, and amazing discoveries right here on Kowalski Mountain.
Rotisserie chicken is often found as a loss leader in many supermarkets. In many instances, you can purchase a fully cooked store-bought rotisserie chicken for less than a whole raw chicken from the meat department in the same store. While I have done this for a quick easy meal on occasion, we prefer to not…
Over 4 years ago, I moved from a traditional brick-and-mortar home to living full-time in an RV. When Philip I am I got married, we briefly lived in the house until it was sold, and once again moved into the RV. While we live stationary, moving into an RV requires some creative organization to live…
This year in the garden I grew luffa gourds, which resulted in an abundance of homegrown luffa sponges. Eager to find ways to use my homegrown sponges, I discovered slices of luffa sponges can be submerged into handmade soap and used to provide natural exfoliation while washing. As I began to dig into soap making…
The holiday season is a special time. As Philip and I are somewhat newly married, we are bridging our old traditions while we create new ones for our family. Our children are grown and beginning to create their own family traditions. As grandparents, we have the extra special privilege of creating Christmas traditions with the…
As the air turns crisp and the seasons change from summer to fall, it’s that time of year when new seasonal foods take the spotlight. Homemade pumpkin puree is a staple ingredient for some of our favorite fall treats! For years I used canned stuff not knowing how easy it is to make my own…
Once the most important aspects of the driveway were complete, the other major project that we needed our bulldozer contractor to focus on was building the farm pond. Clinton and Ed Cockriel from Ed Cockriel & Son Dozer and Backhoe Services have years of experience in pond building in the Western Kentucky area. We appreciate…
Several months ago, Philip met with Clifton Cockriel of Ed Cockriel & Son Dozer and Backhoe Services to get an estimate to tackle a few of the larger tasks on the homestead. One of the biggest jobs we needed to complete was building a new driveway all the way to the building site of our…
No matter how many years you have worked in the sun and the heat of the day, eventually you are likely to experience heat exhaustion. We all know the steps of hydration, but sometimes situations prevent us from taking care of ourselves well. We ignore the subtle symptoms that warn us to take a break…
Philip and I traveled to Kowalski Mountain for the Spring Workcation just in time for Easter. While it would only be the two of us for dinner, I still wanted to make something special. We raise or hunt almost all our meat, so I rarely purchase meat at the grocery store. However, a few times…
Philip and I spent a little over a week in mid-April on the homestead for the Spring 2022 Workcation. The Spring Workcation started out with some pretty emergent items that needed attention ASAP. We received some security camera photos before we left that revealed that our canopy that covers the RV was damaged. It was…
