I and my 7 children have a lot of running around to do today! Come along with us as we prepare to leave our homestead and travel to town. We're doing our once-a-month grocery stock-up at 10 Box, Aldi, Kroger, and Wal-Mart. We're also picking up our monthly order from Azure Standard. It's a busy day, but we have a lot of fun too!

Reminds me of growing up… in the late 70s, early 80s, we had a Co-Op. I don’t know if they still have those anywhere or not. It was a community group that bought in bulk. You’d work a certain amount of hours per month, packaging things into small bags, etc. it was a storefront, kind of like a health food store. We’d buy honey, oatmeal, etc in 5 gallon buckets (the cheapest way). Or we’d buy in bags by 5 lb, 1 lb etc. everything from spices, flour, carob chips, just anything needed but in healthy form, all the basics. We didn’t go to town every week, always, so it was always an exciting time. Back then, interest rates were 18%+ and daddy built a log caning, had a big sawmill . I peeeled logs for the cabin with flattened out how, he even made wood shingles. We only cooked on Woodstove, had every animal imaginable. I had to help my mom like Sarah (only girl and oldest) and we canned 800+ quarts thst summer. It was very primitive. Also cut and baked our own hay, just everything! Looking back, that first year was hard! We got it done. Then it got a little easier, but it was always busy.

I'm surprised some of the older kids don't stay home instead of sitting in the van for all the errands. But if they enjoy it, that is great. Seems like orders could get confused at the Azure pick up.

Wasn't feeling well this morning, but you made me smile. Love how Rebekah didn't even look twice at her sandwich, just started eating it crust and all, not even cut in half or quarters! I guess you don't realize how many 2yo's wouldn't do that, but we do. You are such a good, senseable Mama. Take care and best wishes from Missouri. Cheri

They really don’t go off the homestead a lot. And if Janice’s kids are like my brother and sister and I, we absolutely LOVED “going to town” with momma. I was the oldest so I was I want to sit in the car with a little ones who didn’t go in with momma. We were FAR from bored! I certainly preferred sitting in the car with them and playing “I Spy”, singing songs, etc., than Momma leaving me at home with them and having to chase them all over the farm. lolol

Janice, I love to watch your videos. You have the most beautiful family. The children are so adorable. I love to see the way your family works together. I feel like I have to "visit' every day. because you all cheer this single older lady up and make me feel less alone. I also have a Better Homes and Gardens cookbook that my mom gave me when I married in 1974. I was 18 and didn't know how to cook but that cookbook really taught me a lot. Thank you for sharing your life with us. Elizabeth singing ...there are not words to describe that cuteness.

I find it hilarious that people comment on how many chores (jobs around the house) a large family has. I can almost guarantee that the commenter has never been around a large family. If the work is not shared, the work is never done for the day. I have also viewed channels where the mom gets scolded for not having the kids d😂o anything. 😂

@user-fy9ns4ut8u 6 ай бұрын

Loved this video so much as it gives a glimpse into the day to day of what needs to be accomplished prior to you even being able to leave. I love how different children step up at the various spots and how everyone works together getting everything done. Thanks to you, I actually picked up my first ever Azure Standard order at our local drop today and can’t wait to try my new finds. As always, Rebekah is the star of the show, and I can’t wait to see her blossom into the person God uniquely designed her to be! Rebekah strikes me as an intricate mix of Sarah mixed with some of the boys humor and wit. Watch out , world!
