Has this person and her family been discussed already? She popped up as a connection to terrifying lunatic Kristen Nicole Young and... Honestly she is equally as scary? She is 24, has 3 kids, sells for some suspicious supplement mlm (QSciences) and has some interesting opinions ranging from raw liver being the best first food for babies, dentists being the cause of health issues and only washing your hair every two weeks with lard and eggs. It appears she started selling natural skincare products on etsy and has a youtube channel. Not sure if she is fundie but she lists faith in her bio and posts plenty of offensive "women are meant to serve men" quotes. She met her husband when she was "around 14" and got married when she turned 18, they live on a 10 acre farm in Montana. If this family has been discussed or this is in the wrong place, please merge/move!

Katie Metka: Depression-era cosplay with 9 kids
NachosFlandersStyle posted a topic in Wide World of Snark
Came across this instagram account today and found it fascinating. Katie and Oresti, who met when she was living in Greece after attending art school, have 9 homeschooled daughters with another on the way and live in a one-room unfinished cabin somewhere in the Missouri Ozarks. Like many homesteaders in the area, they came to MO for its lack of building codes. Katie makes most of the girls' clothes -- calico dresses, naturally -- and takes a ton of black-and-white photos where they're lined up on the porch of the "shanty" looking straight out of a Dorothea Lange picture. For much of the last year they were living without plumbing or electricity, although they've recently made some more improvements. Katie has built quite a following on the strength of her photography, which really is gorgeous (I guess art school helps) but all I can think is that it looks like a terribly rough way to live. I can't tell if she falls harder on the fundie side or the hippie side, although there are definitely religious references scattered in among her posts. Thought you all might have thoughts. https://instagram.com/katiemetka?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= -
While researching tiny(ish) houses for ourselves in the future (we plan to build a 5-600 square feet home cabin home one day) we stumbled across the Smyth family. A homeschooling family of 8, living off grid, packed into a 500 square foot house. I don't know if they are fundies but their are in some religious branch, because Mama Smyth dresses quietly and wears a covering. https://m.youtube.com/channel/UC_iz0mIhVFaMwD-KBfrLPWA
