Lovely video and a joy to see you carrying on family traditions. This video probably took more out of you than you expected. We are okay to watch some shorter videos for the next few months as you rest and enjoy baby snuggles. I am sure it took you as long to edit as it did to film. You are amazing and we don't want you getting ran down. You give yourself grace in the kitchen and we give you grace to navigate new motherhood and your working schedule. This is the advice I would tell my own daughter, so please don't think I am being critical, just concerned for you mama.

@@janetweldon3000 My first baby was like that. Nobody ever noticed (until he was maybe 9).. but he was tongue tied. That's why he was a "slow eater" and eating all the time. I felt like I was breastfeeding all day long.

I don’t think keeping baby’s name private has anything to do with consent from the baby…it has everything to do with not exploiting your own child. She will share what she feels comfortable sharing and that’s it. She is sharing her love of cooking and living off of her acreage… The care for her child may come into this channel from time to time, but that’s even more than I would expect. There are several channels that do not show their children, although we know they have them and they are part of why they do what they do. Farmhouse on Boone and Jamerrill… It’s all good! There are creepers everywhere, you want your child safe, so does she!!!

I think it is a testament to you that the community you have built is largely supportive of you and has been asking you to take care of yourself, rather than asking for more from you (more details, more information, more videos). Thank you for taking care of yourself and upholding your boundaries! Unrelated, but I follow some foster care channels that use letters (Miss A, for example) when referring to children/teens in their care. I think the solution you have decided on is natural and works for you. The number of supporters you have in the comments is one of the things I'm grateful for in this community. I'm so happy for your healthy family! Happy holidays!

Adding the M&Ms to the top of the cookies made me smile and remember my Grandmother. She was a young mother during the Depression. The frugal habits she acquired then and during the rationing of WWII remained with her throughout her life. When she made chocolate chip cookies, she would not put the chips in the dough, but would carefully place three - exactly three - chips on the top of each cookie. This gave one per bite, and let a bag if chips last, for what seemed to me, forever. She has been gone for over 35 years. Thanks for the smile and memory. I may make my own grandchildren some of "Grandma's Chocolate Chip Cookies" and share the story with them, later this week.

Hi Becky, as said by others. I am overwhelmed with everything you can do after you just recovered from everything you've gone through. You are a strong woman, don't let others tell you otherwhise. But also don't feel quilty if you take it easy love. I also wanted to tell you that if you don't breastfeed and you didn't know it: you can always start doing it! So if you wish you can re-lactate and start doing it even if your baby is used to te bottle now. You don't need to tell us about it, I just felt I needed tot say it because I know some moms who wished they knew it earlier!

Becky, kudos to you for honouring Josh’s Dutch heritage and making a real Dutch Christmas treat (banket). It is often made in a staaf (stick) form and can also be made in rings, like a wreath. I loved that you made your own almond paste because it is indeed, expensive. Phyllo pastry also works really well for the crust. I think you did a great job though and it looked very yummy!

I really like that Josh’s family is Dutch, especially when you talk about it or make the recipes. I’m Dutch as well 😊 We have banket every year 🤗

I'm Dutch, and that "banketstaaf" really looks delicious! I like to eat it warm, so I reheat a little piece in the microwave before eating it. Happy New Year, dear Becky, Josh, Baby A, Tibro and Orbit, and of course, your family and your extended KZfaq family as well. Big hug from the Netherlands! ❤️

Yes. I am so thankful that she is doing well. The prayers availed much! I do hope that she does not let it agitate her should there be another pregnancy. We had major complications with our first (seizures, high blood pressure, class four tearing, the works) but the subsequent deliveries went well. I didn’t know this but pain increases the blood pressure. Had an injury and the pain med was wearing off at the doctors office, it jumped 40 points!

So very happy to hear you are healing and feeling back to yourself. I believe getting back in the kitchen and doing what you love is also mental therapy which is healing as well. One reason I love your videos is because it’s drama free, transparent and real . I’m glad I missed the “ name drama” some are speaking of. You are being a what my son calls me a “ mama bear” protecting your child’s privacy as well as your family structure. You share so much with us, even parts of your privacy but you set your limits and I say WONDERFUL! Keep doing so, I totally agree and understand. Wait until you are able to get back into your gardens, you will be so happy doing so in your new home. I can’t wait to experience it with you. Blessing to you , Baby A, and Josh! What a beautiful family you have, cherish and protect it always. I was am going to try your recipes for the New Year but unfortunately came down with Covid ( me and my sweet hubby) so watching you back in the kitchen has brought me so much joy even more so right now while feeling bad. Thank you for sharing your life, recipes, homestead experiences for us to follow. Snuggle your precious baby my dear, they grow so quickly! 🥰

Thanks for sharing another great video with us, Becky! Between gardening, cooking, and baking - that is what family traditions are all about and something that takes those endeavors to such a nice place! My husband and I have a grape arbor where he transplanted the grape vine from him grandmother’s (who transplanted that from an older house). My husband grew up with homemade grape jelly. This was our first year getting a harvest and man was I nervous to make up jelly for the first time. He came home from work, gave it a taste, and said it was just as he remembered. (Whew, that was when I wiped the brow sweat that had saturated my face all day)! Take care! Lydia from Sweet Kings Garden

I did spend some time in prayer for you guys and kept thinking of that Holy Family at the First Christmas, also cloistering, taking time to admire their Baby and adjust to their sudden ‘familyness,’ receiving gifts and well-wishes, and taking in the great blessings that new life brings. May St. Joseph, Protector of Families, pray for you both. You look fabulous! You are even glowing with that new mommy softness. Baby A is so lucky! I’m going to make your spice cookies TODAY (spice-y gingerbread-y things are my favorite) and I’m chomping to try the Banquette because I’ve never even heard of them!

You are such a strong person Becky, and such a caring mother and wife. Josh sounds like such a great husband and father also. I am so proud and happy for you two and your strength and support you both give to each other in everything you do. I love watching and listening to everything you have and are doing. From your gardening, moving, remodeling, canning, and right down to your little ladies outside you take care of 🐓. It’s so cute to watch them follow you around when you go outside. You amaze me and hope you realize just how much you inspire so many of us. I have learned so much from you and I truly appreciate it a lot. We ended up buying beef from local farmer/butcher. We are on a waiting list for pork also. We Also do a lot of shopping at the Amish stores here in NY AND… I finally found a place here in NY that uses Azure!! So very excited. Once again, thank you for all you share with us, but I also respect your privacy of what you do not want to or feel the need to share. Hope you all had a very nice New Years. ❤️

By the way I love that she calls the baby "baby acre". It's like a reference to the fact that he was conceived and born during Becky's acre homestead journey. With the many unconventional baby names out there "north, apple, blue..." acre could very well be a baby name or nickname. People are way too dramatic. Becky you don't need any of us to say it, but share what you want and keep private what you want to keep private. You can't please everyone, haters gonna hate. Happy new year to you and this mostly wonderful community.
