ReplyDeleteI had a home birth, too. Isn't it great? But you got me beat on the rest of them.
ReplyDeleteWOW CELESTE!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe only one I can say I've done is taken a bath outside in a tub...my tub was a round galvanized metal one.
The rest have left me speechless!!! You are one strong person, girl.

I helped make butter and I have taken a bath in the yard. OMG to number 10. Paula
ReplyDeleteCAR RUN OVER YOUR DAUGHTER? GULP!
ReplyDeleteNo you`re right I haven`t done any of those things..... yet ! Sandra xxx
ReplyDeleteTaken a bath outside? Here in Southern California, a thing like that is common.
ReplyDeleteYOu can kind of tell when some people are of the same era/generation, we tend to have done simular or some of the same things and if not we have heard of them.
ReplyDeleteI have made butter the way they did in the 1800's with a churn when I was a kid. I was also taught how to do it by shaking it in a mason jar.
I have also taken a bath in a tub outside in the yard.
Although I haven't hitchhiked accross the country. I have know people who have. And although I didn't stick my thumb out, I have hitched rides at home in rural Missouri where and when it was safe and usually the person who picked us (yes, "us", I never was alone) most always knew my parents.
I've chopped wood with my dad as a kid and also while pregnant with my son. We had a woodstove BUT I WAS not very far along.
If I had made one of these lists, I would never have remembered these things if I hadn't have read yours.

Okay you are one tough mamma! Literally! Chopped wood right after child birth and had your baby at home I assume that means no meds. Man you are making me feel like a wimp. You go girl!
