Thanks for watching! Was a day in our life different than you expected?

I have to admit you had me fooled until you started talking about breakfast lol

I actually didn't think you were joking ! I thought, "That is so magical ! " 😭

Oh my word, I started feeling very very inadequate and then I LOST IT when you were like "yeah no, that's not what we do". Yaasss! Thank you for this.

That cow looked at you like "What is this crazy woman doing?" Love your channel. Thank you.

Cracking me up. Love it. And my wife has now been affirmed in her request for a blowtorch, previously denied by me. “If Jill Winger does it, then it’s ok for us!,” she exclaimed.

LMAO, I thought you were serious there for a minute until you said "a 4 course breakfast every morning!" Doing chores by candle light sounded relaxing... Sounds like a great life!

You should be very proud of your children! That’s the way to raising children . Great mom!

Lol I first thought “oh dear, jill has spent too much time in 2020”...then the breakfast comments gave it away! Love your down to earth sensibility and sense of humor!

The idea of milking by candle light is so romantic but fire and all that straw bedding made me nervous! 😅😂

That was a hilarious opening. Good job. I needed a laugh!

If people believe being on a "homestead" means waking up at 3am and milking a cow by candlelight I want to know where they got their info 🤣

SWEET! The best part is seeing Dad coloring with Daughter.

Loved the intro🕯 🤣 I live in Salinas, Ca and only heat by our wood burning stove from nov- feb and not every night. Love your homestead.💖

I giggled in the beginning because all your previous videos were way different than the beginning of this one. Typical homesteading/farming up early, work hard, family time, and in bed early to start the cycle over again.

Lol! You got me good in the beginning! I’m researching homesteading and reading a lot of things on it but your video was one of my first ones and I thought to myself...I’ll never make it! Lol

🤣 Jill! That beginning was hilarious! My jaw dropped when you said 4 course breakfast. Loved your video!

I love it. This is my favorite video you've ever made. I was laughing within the first 10 seconds when I saw you walk out of your bedroom with a lit candle. Lol!! :) But seriously, I love how accessible you make this lifestyle - you are inclusive because you are transparent, you talk frequently about how those of us that don't have an acreage can still be modern homesteaders and enjoy this lifestyle, and you are REAL. What a breath of fresh air. Keep up the good work, Jill! You are such an inspiration to many.

I was legit about to leave when you said you make a two hour breakfast everyday 😂

Oh my God girl - No, I didn't think you were joking at all. I was thinking...oh how sweet, she's keeping dim light for the sleepy cows and chickens 🤣🤣🤣 And I love prairie clothes...I always wanted to be Laura Ingalls Wilder ❤️❤️❤️ You totally crushed my dreams with your truth! 😆😆😆

Thanks for making my kids feel like “oh, okay. Maybe bed by 8:30 isn’t so bad”. 😂

I was so confused and thought you had gone crazy 🤣 that should have been your april fool's video!

Your timing was perfect. I was about to call bs on the entire thing and never watch another one of your videos. Nice work.

Oh I loved this Jill!

Thank you so much for the wonderful opening on this video! The presentation was fabulous! I love Laura and Little house! I laughed with delight!! I think this is only the 3rd time I've posted a comment.

You are too funny! I will admit you had me going! You are right about what many assume regarding homesteading!

Just love watching your videos. You are so interesting to watch. I knew as soon as you started this blog that something was amiss.... but it sure was fun watching you at the start. Very funny

This was hilarious! I have to say my 8 year old daughter loves watching your videos, she says she wants to be a farmer when she grows up. Mesa's twin just with long brown hair. Thank you for all these great videos we enjoy them so much

You're doing a great job with those babies. May God bless you in all you do.

Haha! I was watching that first part going, "that is so not true! What is she doing?" Love it ❤️

That was clever😉 you had us going for a minute there Jill. It was nice to see your family all working together and hearing the kids laughter was sweet.

I've been a huge fan of you since reading your book. Farm girl here, I didn't think anyone could rival my cooking, practicality or sense of humor, until I found you. Someday I want to be just like you! I love working out, home renovating, horses and the whole lot of it too! You're a beautiful family. ❤️

Your life looks wonderful. You got me going with sourdough at the beginning of the pandemic because I could not find yeast anywhere. That was a fun experience and I learned a lot. Thanks for sharing your homestead.

You are a riot! What a breath of fresh air!

🤣🤣This is the best video I’ve watched in a long time! You almost had me.....ALMOST. Questioned the dress thing but then thought, okay. Cows milk more by candle light got an eyebrow raise. But cooking breakfast for 2+ hours?.....EVERY MORNING? I started giggling. This was so good!! I love your channel and look forward to everything you share. Your life style is partially normal for me and the other part what I strive to achieve.

Thanks for sharing how you really live. It is beautiful!

Beautiful life and family!

I thought, “Jill must be going through some changes, this doesn’t really sound like her...” and then boom! The real Jill showed up! LOL! I like the real Jill very much! Thanks for breaking the myths and being so real! I have really enjoyed your channel, the planner and your cookbook too! Learning lots! P.s., I have 2 sourdough loaves proofing, much thanks to your initial inspiration to learn this really fun skill! Thank you!

You had me believe. I am very new to your channel. I must say that I am very old fashioned though. I do crazy stuff like that. But I love to cook and take care of things. Spending two hours in the kitchen preparing meals for my kids is what I did for them. Not two hours for breakfast, but definitely four hours each day preparing elaborate dinners. I would so have loved to spend another hour making breakfast. And I love animals. My wife and I don't have farm living yet, but maybe in a few yrs when we retire. She has a family farm in New Mexico. We talked about moving up to the ranch/farm. So when you said you were getting up at three-thirty, I said to myself, wow, she really is in the zone, and so happy and excited for each day. Then I was disappointed when you said "just kidding." While spending time on one of my brother's farms in North Carolina, that week I got up at five and fed and brushed the horses. It was just natural feeling. I wanted to spend some time with them while it was still dark out. It was very special and quiet. Thanks for sharing! Kind regards, Mark

I just kept thinking "Is she out of her mind? That candle is going to set the barn on fire!"

Great Video Jill! Your schedule is very similar to our schedule:) being 34, makes me feel so much better hearing other folks going to bed around 9:30/10 every night :) do you ever ride your house around your property? I always imagined taking my horse once I have mine and riding it everywhere on our 21 acres but I’m not sure if that’s not just my horsey romantic side❤️

You get way more done in the day than me.... great video!!

I liked the cow and the milking system looks really handy and efficient.

I was like for real she goes around with candles even in the kitchen🤣😂I knew you didn't but I feel for it for a moment that was funny... God bless, greetings Jill

That. Was. Awesome.❤

I’m from Cheyenne WY. Oh boy do I know the feeling of that wind! 🤣

I have the same dutch oven....I love it

This is great! I have followed you on Facebook for years, but watching a video is much more fun than just photos 🙂. Thanks!

When you said "every ... (pause) ... single morning" I thought you were going to say "fricking" and I literally laughed out loud. At my very quiet office. 🤷

Your amazing, what a great video of your day. God bless you and keep you safe

I was cracking up! You had me until you started hand milking😂

Holy crap you had me a tad worried!!! And then I roared! Great video !

I am a teacher looking for some fun videos of what Plains homesteaders' life was like. This might not be applicable for my purposes, but I just had to say those are some lucky kiddos!

HI jill, I live in Ireland & I thought I would like to let you know I use your recipe for home made bread every week ,I have also made the rolls + hotdog fingers,, I also make soda farls, and wheaten farls , as we call them here in Ireland ,love your videos, all of this because of covid lockdown , keep er lit . Cheers

Loved the Laura Ingalls montage! Seriously though your day is busy and so well organized. #goals a small homestead/farm is another goal. Having my horses at home again would be a dream come true.

you guys are lucky best life ever and l always put candles in my house i love them

I really thought you get up around 3:30 AM most days. This is so hard to wake up that early. Six o'clock is early too. But more humane.

I’m so happy I just found your channel! My husband and I with our two kids will be moving to Cheyenne on 6 acres, to start our homestead journey! I look forward to learning from you!

I’m a new follower from Ontario, Canada and you had me going there for a minute. I thought “ oh man! I picked the wrong blogger to follow!” 😂 Glad I stuck around. I love your video content and, even though I don’t think I’ll ever be a full-fledged homesteader, I like following homesteaders and learning new cooking tips and gardening tricks. Added bonus: we homeschool too!

The way you started the video was pretty cool then the way you broke out the real way I was shocked at first but I do no people that really live there life close that way ... But great video

You are such a inspiration ! Thanks you. I’m proud of how you parent your children, and share with us your experience !

You are tooooooo cute! I just love your personality and your self effacing style. You are real. Which is what we all love about you, Jill. Keep em coming!

thank goodness I was thinking is this girl for real

Lol, in the beginning of the video I was really confused, because I was thinking- wow she kept that side of her well hidden!! 😆 You got me! Good video, thank you.

I’m 39 seconds in & I’m cracking up 😂

That roast looked amazing! Great day...your kids are adorable!

6:20 perfect layout o f the day

This was my first time watching your videos, and I totally fell for the intro. I was like this woman is crazy! 😂😂

The children are very cute. Help with all household and farm tasks. They continue to grow up to be good and quality people.

Oh thank goodness!!! 😂 you really had me going.

I know this is a few years back but I just finished listening to your interview on HOA and I thought "I actually like this gal" I tend to shy away from even calling myself a "homesteader". I am not enamoured with the trend that has taken root. I love my life and lifestyle. Granted I am a few more years into this lifestyle than the 30 somethings that are now taking over the social media platforms. I grew up on a farm and tend to consider what we do as "farming" (now homesteading). My dad was a farmer, I don't mind calling myself a farmer. I like someone that goes against the grain and shows grit and won't pull punches, as well as the un"romantic" side of this life.

I love that you can watch your fire roar!🤩

When your video first started, I kept saying to myself “this has to be a joke, I’ve never seen her with a candle to light her way to the barn in the middle of the night to milk the cow before or wear old fashioned clothes” not that any of that is bad just felt like I’d seen enough videos to know you were having some fun with us. I loved the video! Merry Christmas to the family.

i passed laura ingalls house on the highway in missouri yesterday. I was kind of excited to see people still lived like her and then bam the lights came on lol

I have say I have watched enough of your videos so I figured it was a spoof in the beginning. But it was a great laugh. 😂😂😂

Loved this video! ❤️✨

You had me going in the beginning 😂 Sweet life. Thank you for sharing.

I absolutely loved the intro. So cute. I enjoy your channel. It’s nice to have good content to watch. Have a great rest your week

Love your sense of Humor and love your videos!

I’m ready for your podcasts to begin again! It’s my sanity on my hour commute!

Omg I was watching this and like how does this girl do it. And then the turntable scratch. I literally laughed out loud.

This was so beautiful to watch

Makes for a happy healthy life together …

I like this SO much !!!!! Thank you for showing us ! I really like the "practical balance" you and your family have established, but I am still fairly impressed with how prepared you guys would be in an emergency situation. Very cool !

😍😂 Merry Christmas

Hahaha. I was SO confused for a minute. Thanks for the laugh. 🤣

Love this video! You had me in the first bit😂😂

Loved the intro!! I was like, “No way! This can’t be right.” How funny!!

🤣🤣🤣 oh my goodness Jill...I was rolling with laughter....the beginning was hilarious. Way to go on expressing your humor

Might sound so strange but I would love to sit and drink coffee with you rotating homes. Livestock talk, thrift store shop, garage sale, tinker, bake cook, etc :)

LOL, love it! Keep a good humor! Glad to have found your channel! Hello from NWPA!

I was howling at "four-course breakfast" 🤣

Absolutely beautiful. First time viewing this video. Absolutely beautiful. Best of luck!

Lol the opening was perfect!!

Hi Jill, thanks for taking us through your daily routine! You have such a beautiful family and homestead! take care and stay safe and warm!!

Hahaha! I thought you were serious at first and burst out laughing when you said just kidding!

I had to stop the video and laugh so hard once you "fessed up "! 😆🙃🧡

ROTFLOL :) I have to say I might have said "what?!" outloud when you said 3:30AM. Then when you took a candle to the barn (with hay...lol)...I knew it was a play on things. Loved it :)

Thank you for that laugh- I was like "uhm ok- not getting up that early.."

Oh my goodness! Haha! You had me. I was like okay okay candle light got itttt.
