It is such a joy to watch you and your children. You have inspired me to start canning again. I have heard you call yourself lazy on several occasions. I want you to know that you are by no means the definition of lazy. I wish I had access to farmers like you do up there. Have a blessed day.

It is such a joy for me to watch you and your little ones! I'll be 79 next month and I live alone now. You sure are a hard working lady, but you have time, take time, for the "little things", the things that matter most. What you're putting by all look good and will definitely come in handy this winter. I wish you all the very best with your new "gift" and the joy a new baby will bring. You all stay safe and take care of each other❤

I sooo sooo enjoy to see your children treating their little siblings with so much Care and Love. My Heart melted when i watched the little ones climbing in that wood and one of them held a smaller sibling to not fall down. So much care for one another, those children are growing up to being really good humans. The world needs more people Like you and your Family. Good Bless everyone of you 🙏🙏🙏

You are so good at preserving food, not wasting, using every last little drop. I wish there was a way we could get your videos into school Home Economic classes!! 😊

I found your KZfaq channel a while back and am so enjoying it. We home schooled our 5 children, with at times one or another going to school. You are encouraging me to get back to homesteading and preserving food like I used to. One of our sons became a quadriplegic almost 10 years ago and we needed to stop everything to care for him. Now we have caregivers to help. So I have time to get back to the things I love, gardening, preserving food, sewing more, etc. I love your gentle spirit and bright and knowledgeable mind. You are a lovely person. My husband and I just returned from a visit to Hawaii to visit our son and his family of 6. On our flight home, my husband said that he saw the woman in front of us was watching you on You Tube 😊 I thought you might get a kick out of hearing that. Blessings to you and your family ❤️

I’m amazed at all you’re able to accomplish in a day and with so many littles around. Blessings.

I’m so glad everything is going smoothly with your pregnancy!!!! I love listening to your updates , I’m also due December! Baby number 3 . Prayers for you and your family for a full and wonderful fall harvest and enjoying all the wonderful things of life .

You have beautiful children!! They have such a great disposition! I love how the older ones love to entertain the little ones! The boys will be good daddy's and the girls are such good help mates!! You are definitely raising them up in the way they should go. Thank you for showing others how children should act. So many people don't get it. Very well mannered children. Good job mama🙂

I know thisvisca year old, but i had to share. My mother in law was the one who taught me about canning and preserving. She passed away this year and i was reminded you talking about the little ones under foot. My vivid memory was when my daughter was 1.5 years old and shecwas with us. Mother in law had her on her hip and was walking out to stir whatever we were canning outside. Probably tomatoes. She believed in hot packing items. Its a memory i cherish.

I'm so deep in pear canning myself right now! Definitely feeling like just turning everything else into pear sauce 🙃

The little ones with their mustaches gave me an unexpected chuckle 😄! Great video. You got a good amount done 👍🏼.

The children are so cute! I love to see them all and everything you accomplish

gratitude has been severely lacking in much of our society for some time now so its great to hear how often you count your blessings or express gratitude in your daily life. its quite apparent in your videos and something we also strive to live and frequently discuss with the kids. your videos are well done, keep doing your thing

What wonderful things you do in your life !! I love how you don’t waste a thing I think that’s great. I sure couldn’t do all the work you do and what beautiful jars you have ❤️ I certainly hope you take breaks I know when I was 22 and pregnant I was so tired I’d take a nap everyday around noon I had to I remember laying down on the bed with the fan on and how good it felt to lay down of course that was 39 years ago lol. You take care of yourself hun🥰

I agree with the apple/pear combination! I make an apple pear cake that’s delicious and no one ever complains because it is made with whole wheat and barley flour. I not only use chunks of apples and pears but also use applesauce in it i stead of oil so it has a lot of fruity taste. For spices in it I use cinnamon, a bit if nutmeg and Chinese Five Spice powder. Yum!

I especially love your technique of doing videos with voice overs.

aweee the little one passed out napping on the swing at the end was so sweet 🥹 🥰🤩

Good job, Jessica. I admire your thrifty approach to homesteading.

I love how you have no waste!

Thank you. What a lovely family with so many helpers. Blessings!

Such an adorable closing with the little one asleep on the outside swing

WOW!! You are wonderful at canning!! Pears are wonderful!! Yes it saves you money. Support the farmers!! 😀 It is so nice to not find out the sex of the baby until it is born. That is the way God wants it. That is a lot of chili. God bless you hard working wife and mother. Beautiful children. ❤

That is such a clever start to making chili. As you mentioned, it will be so easy for you or one of your helpful kiddos to simply add whatever extra ingredients sound good at the time. Corn, beans, spices…whatever sounds good. I do realize you want to make sure you have everything ready for your family, but even when it Is hard, always remember to put yourself and the baby first during this time. Your older kids are quite responsible and fully capable of caring for themselves and the little boys. The meals may not be what you envisioned, but it will only be for a short time, and your family will be fine.

Love this lil` family! So precious! Skilled. Wise. Thank You for sharing...

Thank you for taking time out of your day to show us this! ❤️❤️

Still watching but I have to stop & say - the toddler putting canning rings on his?her? arm (sorry, I’m a new viewer) reminds me of Blueberries for Sal! The front or back illustration, depending on the version of the book shows Sal in the kitchen with her Mom while her mom cans blueberries. I love the old fashioned stove & that picture is my favorite in the book! I love how your channel shows your kids! I realized any other KZfaqr I watch for homemaking rarely shows kids helping or around which is completely unrealistic for my life. I love how you show your kids as a natural part of the life of the home. ❤️💕

I appreciate your video style. The voice over technique makes for a nice viewing experience. Thank you!

Little Benjamin at the end in the swing melted my heart! I'm 30 weeks pregnant with #3 and don't know how you do it all, mama! You work so hard! God bless for the rest of your pregnancy.

Loved this vlog. Glad all is going well.

Oh my, it's such a joy to watch you with your children!!! They are so precious, and then seeing the little one asleep in the swing warmed my heart

Your videos are so calming to watch. Thanks for sharing your preservation tips, you've encouraged me to carry on canning! Xx

I look forward to your videos every Sunday. I giggled out loud today over the Mario Brothers. Such grace! Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for the inspiration - the little shots of your children make for a fun video! Best wishes as you progress with your little blessing.

Thank you for sharing. Love seeing the kids interact with the baby before it’s even here 💜

Thanks for sharing your family and the teachings you give. 🙌💫💖

It sounds like you will be very organized for meals postpartum. It all looks great! I ❤️ to watch the children interact too. I grew up in a family of 10 on a mixed farm & it brings back memories

I have a bowl like the one your juice was in I've had it for years and primarily use it for making bread and dinner rolls in. Always enjoy your videos such a joy.

I just have to pause the video and say that you are such a kind and warm mother, my mother is the same way. I have three of my own as my mother did and I look at the faces of my children and have a rush of gratitude and just pure joy. I can tell that you are the same with your kids and its soo amazing to see that and I thank you for sharing. ♥♥♥

I love your meal canning, raw packed, letting the canning process work for you.

Your organizational skills are mind-blowing, and your kids look so happy! Great videos ❤️

So happy kids playing then lots of food to eat yummy so healthy!❤️

I love watching your videos. Thank you for sharing your life and beautiful family!

interesting and enjoy the way the children help with the little one GOD BLESS YOU ALL

So very enjoyable. Sorry for your discomfort. I had 3 children, my last when I was 27 so I don't know what you are going through but I can empithize with you. I will keep you and your family in my prayers. I love watching you and your large family's daily lives. Your children are so sweet and helpful. You and your husband have raised a family of very loving wonderful children. Thank your for sharing your lives I do appreciate it so much. I am 69 and am still gardening and trying to can and put up food for us but each year it becomes so much harder. We are both disabled. I am a retired Registered Nurse and I take care of the inside of the home as well as the yard and outside as well as the cooking and cleaning. I had a major back surgery a few years ago, rods and fusion in the lower back. I have difficulty lifting and standing for very long. I really enjoy seeing what you are putting up and how you are doing it. I will be seeing you on your next video. Blessings to you all.

I so look forward to your videos! I wait until Monday at work for lunch and look at the video. It makes Monday's easier to bare. I have learned so much from you. God's blessings over you and your family! Can't wait for the bundle of joy!

Beautiful pear products! Excellent usage of everything!

Thats awesome, you are a wonderful mom love your videos. God bless you and your family

You energy level amazes me! You are such an inspiration ❤️ ❤️

Your family is such a joy Jessica 💛 Thank you for sharing a snippet of your day. We are beginner homesteaders and just started homeschooling our two oldest girls this fall. I would love to see the curriculum you use. I enjoy seeing the way you juggle it all. It is not only inspiring, but also motivating for me 💛 Praying for the rest of your pregnancy 🙏🏻

What a great idea canning the chilli i just made a meal of chilli in my crockpot, but i like your idea of making it in the jars and canning it!

Ohhhhhh just finished canning pear sauce, making pear scrap vinegar and pear jam! Perfect timing! Love watching you and your family!

Your videos are always a joy and much learning.

Thanks for sharing Jessica! I would love to see a series of videos on this type of meal preps! What a great list of foods you have. All the same ones I want to do! Don’t overdo yourself but it would be such a great series. 😊

Jessica, you never disappoint!! You are quite a woman! I admire your skills and your thriftiness as a wife, homemaker, mother, and homesteader. I always walk away with knowledge and confidence that I too can accomplish at least some of your recipe ideas!! Thank you dear friend and sister in the Lord!! May YHWH continue to bless and protect you and yours!!

2022 is the first year I caught this series. At first I just watched but it seems to have gotten my gears going and I made a conscious daily effort, regardless of how minimal. Thank you for the inspirational videos!

I feel like being a part of your lovely family. I love watching your channel. You’re amazing at what you do for your family. A great inspiration

Very productive day!! Love having home canned foods on my shelves also. Your family is so beautiful.

Such a wonderful productive family! Very inspiring

Congratulations on arriving at the third trimester milestone in good health.

I love your videos but the last 2 have seemed especially great. Thank you for sharing your family with us.

I enjoy watching you can your pears and all the different things you can. I liked watching you can your chili especially adding a can of bean when you heat up the chili (great idea).

Watching your family just makes my heart happy ❤

This is my first year at a new property with a pear tree. I had planned on canning them so your video is very timely. Thank you♥️

I Love your house you live in it,.so you no its home.i was raised in a 3 Bedroom.so they were 4girls.4boys.we cut wood to keep the house warm.carring water.we can every thing thing out of the garden. We did not hav3 electricity so my mom work so hard.she was th3 Best mom ever. I wish I had a daugther like you.

What a great and yummy preserve! 🙏🏻😋

I can't wait to see your new little one

So glad to hear everyone is doing well, and you too. I know being tired is a part of pregnancy and it does whip you out. I pray that the Lord gives you strength and I know HE will. I appreciate you showing meals how to can in the chair I do live alone and I do love to can I'm in my mid-50s and I just love canning and preserving. I've done it since I was a child helping my mother snap peas and beans, later on it came peaches and pears. Now I am just learning how to prepare meals in a jar. My mom and Ladies of my family, didn't do that before, so this is a whole new learning process for me and I so appreciate it. I appreciate you for showing us how you do it and I love your little menu planning of what needs to be done before the baby's born. I try to be as organized and make less than everything that I need to do as well and it sure helps out with the preservation. I appreciate all that you're doing and that you're showing how to preserve food. Thank you so much!!🥰 Good bless you all!!! Until next time. ♥️

I enjoy your videos! Thank you Jessica!

Your doing fantastic- nesting for sure. The sweetest blessings from our Lord you have right there with you every day. I am smiling in gratitude for your loving family! God bless!

My family loves pear and ginger jam!

Am so glad that you and the baby are both are healthy. As I watch your videos and I see you and your kids together pitch in that they wouldn't mind helping mom where ever you need them. May the lord be with ya'll.

I love your resourcefulness; there’s not many who would have the forethought to use the pear cores to make something that would otherwise have been binned, which gets me thinking of things I can use without throwing them away, so thank you. Also, I had my last baby at 41, and it was no different ☺️ and you have lots of little helpers too x

Your children are beautiful. I so enjoy spending the day with you as teach me how to be more productive about my canning. May God continue to be with you during this pregnancy. Have a blessed week.

I did the math.....$260 here in Canada. And that's "No Name" brand from Loblaws!! Probably another $100 if it were brand name.....Wow!!! And you did it for $62!! This is amazing!!!

Jessica, do you have a neti pot with neti salt and know how to use it? I find it very helpful to use right after exposure to environmental allergens and toxin's...ie:. You come inside and use it right away. It is non-mediciinal and effective. Perhaps it might help you?

OUR FAMILY HAD THE SAME SETUP I WAS THE ONE TO -ROLL THE PRESSURE ROLLING PIN AROUND-- TO MAKE GUAVA BUTTER. WE CANNED MOSTLY TOMATOES, SNAP PEAS, AND GREEN BEANS.

Thank you so much!

I learn so much watching you.

I always enjoy your videos. Look forward to Sunday mornings to have a cup of coffee and watch your sweet family. I harvested and preserved 13 quart bags of bok choy and thought of you while doing so. Every bit counts! I’m new to gardening but get excited when I have a good harvest and take the time to preserve them. I appreciate your inspiration more than you can know. ❤️

Well I can rejoice after watching your video. It makes me think of when my five children were small. It is a treasured time in my life also. Certainly raising five children and home educating is quite a task. I will be praying for you as I want you to do it patiently and joyfully.

Oh Jessica, you are a rock star. I get tired watching you, I love your channel and always look forward to watching. 🇨🇦💕🌷

Would love to see videos on any of the canned or frozen foods on the to-do list.

A CHRISTMAS BABY awwww❤ congratulations

I adore you and your family GOD BLESS YOU. You are amazing..

I love watching you and your beautiful children xx 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Your farm it really perfect

may you and your baby be healthy, thank you for this video, god is good

I so enjoy watching your videos. They are very encouraging and motivating. God bless you and your family.

Thanks for all the great meal ideas.🙂

God bless you and your family and the new baby

So Interesting! Lots of ideas for me.

Dear Jessica, do you ever get a bit of time to yourself? You certainly stay busy!!! Iblov we to see how you don't waste anything!! I did some cinnamon apple slices and made scrap apple jelly, more syrup than jelly, but it will work. I am drying peach peels for peach tea from a suggestion from another channel. I also try to use all. I so wish I could find a farmer to support. The market here is more expensive than the stores and very frankly I can't afford their prices. I so enjoy what little canning I get done. Glad you are doing well. Prayers!!🥰🙏💖 I remember helping my grandma and using one of thos e kills!! I found a different one at an estate s a leftover th we weekend. Its heavy stainless. I was happy to find. I have e one ..somewhere. This will work fine. Excited to see the tinctures

Wow you are a really good mom.i Love your kids.

Enjoyed it!

Rest when you can! You are doing a wonderful job. May our Lord bless you with a long and healthy pregnancy

You inspire me every week. Your children learn so much about real life, it is a joy to watch all of you. Please be kind to yourself and rest Chili sure made be hungry!

Thank you for sharing your week with is 💖

Pear crisp is really good too

That's an average of $1.44 per jar. Plus 1/2 bushel of fresh fruit for free. Great buy! Amazing!

And your skin texture and color look fantastic. Really shows that you take care of yourself and eat good food. I enjoy seeing the non-dairy alternatives. Me and my boys are dairy sensitive.
