Acre Homestead 2 days ago (edited) Most of you have already pieced this together, but we thought it might be good to officially introduce you to our firstborn son, Baby Acre!! There were a few complications before, during, and after childbirth, but Baby Acre is a very healthy, and incredibly happy baby! Becky is still recovering from some of the complications but plans to fill you in with more details of his birth and her recovery when she is feeling closer to 100%. She has been posting some quick updates to her Instagram stories because they take far less effort to pull together than full KZfaq videos. :) Thank you all for your prayers, thoughts, and supportive/helpful comments! - Becky, Josh, and Baby Acre

I absolutely love Naan. A quick tip when you cook them. Make them a little thinner and only turn them over once bubble rise up. I always make a big batch of it and freeze whatever we’re not eating (fully cooked). When we want to have some with dinner, I just take them out of the freezer and pop them in the toaster. They’re delicious that way and super convenient.

I’m so glad that you liked my tip about double sheeting the baby’s mattress; the first time that you deal with messy sheets in the middle of the night you’ll be thrilled, lol! My second tip is that I got a special ornament for each of our children each year. From baby’s first Christmas until each child moved out they had an ornament that I labeled with the year and date. When they moved into their house they had meaningful ornaments to start their own trees. By the time the youngest child left we decided to downsize our tree and I bought some ornaments that I like. Have a wonderful Christmas!

And besides, what if the child as an older person wants privacy and online anonymity? I'm never going to ask or expect more work or more sharing from her.

“I’m a little tired”. Really? Who knew, Becky! I always marvel at your constant level of energy to achieve a bijillion projects during the course of one vlog. You are also so conscientious regarding thanking people, in this case Josh, who help you out and who contribute to your well being. You always thank your viewers for “tuning in” as well. We are always happy to see your newest one. And … come on! Here you are stockpiling videos whilst preparing for Christmas as well as for the birth of your son. Holy moly! A piece of advice for your artificial tree. I looooove mine. In fact, I loooove decorating for Christmas and I totally go over the top. More is more! I start mid November and leave everything up until almost mid January. I want to enjoy it all for as long as possible. Here is the tree tip … so to speak. I bought a tree cover that you slip onto the base (where the tree stand begins to support the tree). You leave that on forever basically. When you store it, you pull the cover over the branches and zip it up the side. And … you store the tree in your basement standing up with the zipped up cover over it. Next year, you pull the cover down, nestle the cover around the base and put your tree skirt over it. All you have to do at that point is floof (the professional term for fluffing up the branches) and decorate. You can get the cover on Amazon. It is the bee’s knees in efficiency, Christmas-wise. And, yes! Buy a festive tee skirt on sale. Merry, merry .Christmas, Becky and Josh and wee baby boy Acre. Thank you so much for sharing your enthusiasm and joy of life with us all. Blessings from Ontario, Canada. 🎄🎄🎄

Congrats to both of you!! I have made an easy flatbread/ naan bread recipe made with 1 cup flour, 1 cup thick greek yogurt, 2 tsp baking powder and a pinch of salt. I cook them and then freeze them on a tray and then put in a baggie and keep in freezer. When I want one for a meal I heat it up in the toaster. I roll them out to a size that fits in my toaster so they are easy to reheat.

@ccan2087 7 ай бұрын

What is sad is that the partner is being judged for what you are presuming something for the only fact is that we don't see the partner on the video. We don't know the personal story of these people, nor do I watch too get involved in people's story. I watch too get something from the person taking the time to provide good information and inviting the viewer to see a SMALL part of their homelife or more if they so choose. Most or many homes today still needs someone to have a job outside their home for an income and most importantly health benefits. Also, not everyone wants to be on video and honestly I never understood why until today, after reading these comments why some family members are never on videos, because who wants to be put out there just for some people to do exactly what these comments are doing. You would think we all have so much more important things to worry about in our Own lives. However, research does show that we tend to project what may be going on in our lives onto others. Just a thought.

Hi Becky, I am using my husband's KZfaq acc and just wanted to share a simpler Naan Bread Recipe with you...All you will need is 4-5 cups of self raising flour, 500gr tub of greek yoghurt and a pinch of salt. Start off with using 4 cups of self raising flour in a bowl and add pinch of salt into bowl and add the 500gr tub of greek yogurt to it and mix and if still to wet just add some more self raising flour till you get a dough that is not sticky anymore. You can immediately make it into small little balls and roll it out into a round roti shape using a rolling pin and you can fry it in pan without any oil and it won't stick to the pan. What I do is I mix some garlic paste and some mixed herbs in some olive oil and use an egg brush and brush it in the one side before I put it into the pan and when I turn it over then I brush the other side and you have lovely garlic naan. I normally get about 15 naan breads out of one batch. You can also use the same recipe and divide it into balls and make rolls from it as well. I simply love your videos and congratulations to you and Josh on the birth of your son Acre. May you as a family always be protected Amen.

I am Oriental and I I think you done a really fantastic job on you meal. Yes! You need to role out your Naan thinner than you are doing now. It is going to fluff up. You know your dough is too thick when it is NOT fluffying up in your pan. When it is rolled thin it's going to fill with air and moisture from your choice of oil and puff up. Then you will get light and fluffy Naan. Secondly, you dusted the flour off each Naan on top of your pan. Fluff it off at your rolling station. Don't use your hands to flatten the Naan use a rolling pin. When our pans are not yet hot enough our first Naan is a bit flat. First test oy one Naan bread to see if your pan is hot enough and your dough rising up in the pan. Some air bubbles should rise on your bread. This way you won't lose more than one Naan bread. Ideally you want you fry one at a time because on piece should take up most of the pan 😊still your curry looks better than mine!! 👌👌

Plz remember however that this is a salt brine she used. So might not get expected results if you use the bread recipes amount of salt.

I like to use the brine of Kalamata olives to my olive bread. Adding the brine AND the recipe amt was not tasty.

We bought our first fake Christmas tree over 20 years ago and still use it every year. The lights went out a few years ago and so we took them off and have to string lights but it still looks great. We have had a couple other trees over the years to fit houses we lived in at the time better and I just bought a flocked tree last year for a second room in our house. We have so many other traditions around the holidays not having to stress about the trees is nice.

My mother in law my sister in law and myself have bought ornaments for everyone every year for 25 years. I now have enough ornaments for my 3 tree and the kids have a large bin of ornaments for their trees. I love all the different kinds and they bring back memories as i decorate the trees.

We're so excited for you and baby. Hope you're having a lot of good quality time. My favorite way to decorate a tree is with kiddo ornaments. I was never super into the "pretty" "aesthetic" trees. I like the ones with family memories. I've never had a live tree so have no memories of cutting one down. I guess you could say that the ornaments themselves are a physical representation of those types of family memories for me. I made sure to grab my childhood ones when I got married and love helping my kids add to the joy

When my son I was born I started buying a new xmas ornament every year with the date on it. Some of my most treasured things.

That chime brings back memories for me. I'm from Germany and I had that chime as well growing up. I'm like you with decorating. Now-a-days I don't decorate any more. Its just me and my husband. All my family is celebrating in heaven.

We have the same tree. It’s just beautiful. As you say each you you can decide if you want to use the artificial or go cut down a fresh one. Next year with baby crawling an artificial tree will keep baby from getting a pine needle on his little knees. Merry Christmas

🐕‍🦺❤️ MAV SAYS: " RERRY RISTMAS! RAPPY ROLIDAYS! " 🐕‍🦺Another great video, and now you've got me wanting to make curry and naan!! YUM! Congratulations on Baby A!! I love seeing your pre-recorded videos knowing that in a couple of weeks or so your little bundle of joy would arrive! Two proud parents for sure! It will be a wonderful holiday with the new little one!! I know that putting out videos takes a bunch of time and effort (even when I make shorter videos it takes time to edit) and now with the little one it will need more effort, but you make sure to put yourself and baby first, we will all be here for you when you decide to start making videos again (when -you- are ready). Take care of yourselves, Happy Holidays!! ❤️❤️

Charlene, as time has flown Portland didn't replace most of the trucks we had for plowing snow in the 50s, 60s, & even 70s. Back then we did not close everything down as they do now. Becky lives somewhere in the Vancouver (WA) area & I can't remember when they started to follow Portland's example of dealing with snow. These days I don't drive in snow & ice as I don't tolerate the cold at all & can't risk another fall with the possibility of injurying myself (again). As I said before most of what happens here is the last 30/40 years, but not prior to then. Have a great holiday season.

Pretty Tree! We manage to get ours back in the box by hugging each section to compress and we tie it with rope to hold it tight. Works well for us. Ours is also white with an option for color blinking and it rotates so we can decorate all the way around!! Enjoy your first year in the house!

Hi Becky! Congratulations on having baby A and glad y'all are home to enjoy your family, wishing y'all a Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year! Just a thought, you may could try putting a lid over your Nann while cooking it in your cast iron pan on a low temp. It should help cook the inside more while it's cooking. My Mother-in-law has done this cooking omelets on the stove top. She mixes her eggs with peppers and onions or whatever you want in it, then she pours it into the pan on low temp with a lid until it's done. Thank you so much for sharing with us!
