This list is for families who go above the typical
norm in dedication to their families. They often
see value in doing things the way it used to be
done. These families sometimes spend time doing

homesteading families and some are hoping to move

medicine or herbs, dehydrate foods, freeze foods,
can foods, garden, use cloth diapers, make baby

or tend to family members without much outside
support, if at all, because they believe it is in
the best interest of their family member. Some

crafty, enjoy family projects, sewing, etc. They
are often families who are looked at as being
different or unusual when in fact, they have major
dedications to their families. These are often
