I truly wish I could be a mama like you! Finding such joy in providing for your family in the old fashioned way instead of the way we do now. Especially for Gabe and yourself and allergies. You were meant to be a mama♡♡♡

I love how confident and capable your kids are. It is a testament of the way you are raising them. The majority of kids these days are lazy, self centered and entitled. More families should do what you do.

I only discovered your channel recently and let me tell you: it’s wonderful. You have a beautiful family, God bless you all. I love the way you look after your family in the old fashioned way. I wish more people realised that’s how we are meant to live. Please keep up your encouraging message. 😊

I homeschooled our two daughters all the way to college, and your videos bring back fond memories for me those times. But more importantly it reminds me how much I accomplished in those seasons because I had to be diligent in all the areas. Now that my daughters are grown, one married, and I have a grandchild, it’s tempting to keep easier pace. But you inspire me to be more diligent about gardening, preserving, home keeping, And mentoring, all while running my two home-based businesses.

I nap with my boys (they’re both little) every day, and I can’t imagine doing it differently. I need that rest as much as they do! And I love the bed in the family room: it reminds me of how people used to have one room houses/cabins and the beds were always in the living area.

I showed my 8 year old the part where your children were doing chores. He always says “I have to do it all” when asked to take out the trash. He said “oh great, now you’ll think I need to do more!” LOL

You are a very organized Mom! I can see it is paying off with such well-behaved children! I am very impressed with your lifestyle! Blessings to you and your family.

I don't have children but am a stay at home wife and my day starts at 445am during the week. I take a 1 1/2 hour nap each day too usually 3pm to 430pm and yes, we all need that quiet time to rest, read a book, just some "me time". It is good for the body and soul. Anna In Ohio.

Love how you wait for the kids to come to you with their questions! That teaches them that no question is a stupid question.❤️

When I hear you go through all the disclaimers of wich and what, and why you buy it I feel sad. Apparently you feel like you have to defend yourself. From maybe nasty comments you have been getting. Please know that (if anything) the people who follow you are behind you. We know that live is all about making compromises. And seeing you making decisions and taking care of your family is just a great joy! Don't ever apologize for your way of life or the way you live it!

Bravo! You really educate your kids on other countries beautifully! Love seeing your process !

I am enjoying a peek into your days! Thank you for sharing! So many things I can relate to.. Im a mother of 4 oldest is 8 youngest is 2. Makes me smile to know Im not alone in this homeschooling, homemaking life! ❤

You are such a good mother! So focused on your family. Your videos are refreshing.

I'm a homeschooling mom to 8 , I have graduated 2 and have 6 left to go and although I feel like I have grown older and wiser I always glean wisdom from you . Thank you . God bless your family.

I live in Australia and I love daylight savings because of the extra light but my body clock is always out for that 6mths and I always tired. I love when Autumn comes and we turn back our clocks, I feel normal and human for the cold mths. If I had to choose I would pick winter time just for how I feel energy wise.

What a wonderful family you have!! You are the epitome of a super Mom!! I love your planner you use. I have used a planner for years and I don't know what I would do without one. Kids normally love structure and you have your days wonderfully structured. Thanks so much for sharing your day. What beautiful children you have!! Gods blessings 🙏

Love watching all of y’all. It’s wonderful to see true healthy loved children thank you for sharing.

I could watch all of your videos all day!! Amazing!!!!!!

Enjoyed seeing the life of a loving family. So organized and efficient but real and normal. Well better than normal. I wish more people were doing this.

Your life is perfect. I only have 3 children but I made them take naps until 5. I said if they couldn’t sleep it was just quiet time. Definitely best thing I did for my sanity

Whenever I watch your videos, I get permission to be myself. 💗

Thank you for speaking to the introverted, yet involved and invested, Mom! Taking care of ourselves allows us to beat mother them and teachers them to care for themselves, too.

I remember discovering Microsoft paint as a kid! Many, many happy hours spent there. 🥳

Maybe you could video your homemade hot chocolate recipe sometime. That's a great haul! I have never ordered from them but I have looked into it.

YOU'RE AWESOME SISTER!!

I love the fall and cool weather too. I love your babies Jessica. They make me smile. :-)

Lovely! God bless you and your family.

Love your sweet family Jessica. Thank you for sharing with us.

I throughly enjoy your videos. What a happy and joy-filled family!!! Love and Peace 💜💜

I'm so envious of your homeschool life! bless you!

Love ALL your videos but day in the life are one of my favorites

I love the idea of the bed in your family room.

Great video! Excited for the fluff recipe! Hope you all have a great day!

Thank you for sharing your life with others; I can't tell you what an encouragement it is to me, and many others. You are like a mentor to me. May God overflow your cup with peace and blessings.

You are a wonderful mom. I love watching your videos, bless your family!

I've really enjoyed being able to watch a weekly video from you every Sunday morning. It gives me something good to enjoy watching while I have my morning coffee before having breakfast and getting ready for church!

Love your videos Your children are precious

You're amazing and do it all the children helping is great.

Beautiful family, you have such a charming home!

Awesomeness. God bless you all

I love that you take that time in the afternoon and encourage other moms to do so. I do that too, although it's more of just a quiet time. It's so needed! Thanks again for sharing your life with us.💓

I really love how you study the countries.

You’re such a great Mom, you’re children are so blessed to have you ❤️

I just love your channel 😁 I am sooooo glad that I found you a few months ago.❤️ You have such calmness about you 🤗🥰 I also love Azure food hauls! Thank You for sharing 😃 Blessings from Green 🌱🥬 Ohio 😊

You are truly an inspiration ❤ love this so much. Definitely a new subscriber here.

Love this! My kids are grown but I fondly remember these days. God bless you 💜

My favourite kind of video from you 🤗 this always excites me and I am at awe of what all you get done in a day 😅😃 love your vlogs Jessica ❤

I am off duty once my husband comes home too! It’s so nice! What a lovely day in the life!❤️

😍Wow I loved how you organize Youre households your kids are amazing🥰

We are in NE Ohio, snowbelt area. The boys just built their first mini snowman today. Crazy! We got our first snow on November 2nd! Should be an interesting winter. 🥶 Thank you for helping us remember the beauty of winter!! 🥰

Grace has the cutest style! She always looks so chic the way she tucks her shirts into her jeans 😊

I really enjoyed sharing a day with you and your children. Thank you for sharing your Azure order with us and explaining how you use the different products. I'm still learning about many of the foods and buying products in bulk. I really have enjoyed the products that I have tried from Azure and hope they make it through these hard times. Blessings to you and your family.

I loved this. 😊 So inspiring and encouraging. We order from Azure too and have started milling our own flour. I'm so glad you said that about the rolled oats gunking up your mill, I hadn't thought about that happening. I actually did try to order oat groats last month but they were out by the time I tried to order them. I'll try again this month. Loved the bed in the family room, such a great idea and sounds so functional. We have done "unconventional" things like that too. I love how real your home is, it reminds me of mine. Except mine is in the throws of a big renovations so we have some not so pretty parts to it right now. I hope your nap was restful, so wise to give yourself that and to encourage other mamas to do it. I did when mine were napping ages too. ❤️

You are a wonderful mama. Homeschooling done and did it for 15 years with two sons. Naps are great!!!

Also Azure sells delish Carob chips that are unsweetened! My family LOVES them!

Your so organized great idea for the children if I don't write stuff down I forget about it

I am SO excited to learn about the Country Save! Thank you for mentioning the oat groats as well! I’m about to purchase my first hand mill and absolutely would have put rolled oats in there if I hadn’t seen this video! We are in Ohio as well. I’ve been watching you for a half year or more now. We just purchased our first home with acreage and I homeschool our two littles. You are an amazing inspiration and give me hope that I can “do all the things” without losing my sanity ☺️ Thank you for sharing your life as a comfort to others.

Love all this! We do AFV Sunday nights too. My favorite pasta from Azure is Sam Mills red lentil spaghetti.

Love the bulk food haul and the food allergy substitutes. We have a son in law with tree nuts allergy and a granddaughter with peanut and egg allergy. So it does not come easy instantly to me but thankfully they learned to watch for theirselves but there's always that time when it was not suppose to be in there . Tree nut allergy also includes pink peppercorns. We have epi pens.

We are in Ohio the southern part and got our first snow ❄fall yesterday and it's coming down again today😉 It is the earliest I can remember. We have got flurries before on Thanksgiving but this the earliest for sure.

I would love to see how you make your hot cocoa and marshmallow fluff! Thank you for sharing your Azure order with us.

You my dear have it going on!!! You are a wonderful mom...I love the softness in your voice..all i can say is keep it up!!! Just keep on keeping on🙂

THANK YOU VERY INTERESTING . GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

I've used and liked the Zint brand Cacao powder!

Can't wait to start ordering from azure. I actually wanted to do it this month but we are going out of town. I miss homeschooling the kids but they are all grown up

Costco carries the same organic flour which I have grown to love so it’s good to know azure carries it as well!

Always enjoy your videos Jessica! I'm also a Homeschooling, canning, preserving Mom. I have bought the Sams Mills brand of pasta from Azure and really love it. Tinkyada is good, but I find the texture of Sams Mills to be better. It is corn based - although I think they have other varieties now.

I too homeschooled my 3 children all the way thru. My daughter went on to college to become a wildlife ranger. You doing the countries bring back memories we did the same . We also look up recipes of dishes in that land. Cook dinner. Fun times miss it.

Good planning and good teaching.

I enjoy watching your videos.Your day sounds a lot like mine. I have 5 littles and homeschool/homestead.

Just found your channel because someone was bragging on you in the comments of another channel I watch. I’m loving the content. I subbed! God bless

You are a superhero. 💙💙💙

A wonderful life.

I just found your video and I am so thankful for that. I feel that I was led to this channel. As I am trying to be able to settle down and quit stressing about things that I have no control over. We have had a very bad December with events that we had no control over. So with a lot of heart to heart with my husband and prayers I am working toward that goal. Again thank you so much 😊

I love watching your videos so much. I am an introvert as well. When my kids were young I always rested when they napped. Although I have 4 kids, not 7, I did child care in my home so always had others as well, often 7-9 total. Nap time was mandatory, even if they just had quiet rest time and read books or listened to audio books. I needed that time to refuel and rest and withdraw for a bit to get through the rest of the long day. I think it is so important. Mommies go from early in the morning until late in the evening and that break to refuel makes all the difference.

Gosh, you're such a sweet Family! Love the Content. I'm catching up watching your videos.

I would absolutely love to see one of your lessons on geography or a full list of what you cover for each country. Im new to homeschooling

Quiet time is needed for not just mama but the children as well. Nice haul from Azur.

I'm impressed that you're kids love split pea soup so much! Its a favorite of mine but I don't really make it anymore because my littles aren't big fans. Maybe I need a new recipe... I'd love to know what you put in it.

When I was home schooling my three kids, out library had a series of books that showed what people eat in other countries, complete with recipes. That might be something you could add to your country study, if you wanted. We had wheat and dairy allergies in our home too, although not as severe as your son's, and we still found interesting things to try. Now you have the bonus of You Tube videos to watch about this as well.

Hey there.... homeschool mama of 7 as well. This is helpful. I feel like a failure soooooooo many days because we don't do "all the things"

Jessica, your kids can use the empty ketchup bottles as water shooters in the summer.

🙏❤️🙏❤️☮️I can’t tell you enough how I enjoy watching your family! And then to watch your newest videos! Thank you!❤️🙏❤️🙏☮️

Use the freeze dryer to make onion powder.

I think it's wonderful that you encourage your child to bake and accomodate special dietary needs. No need to apologize for the palm oil. We all do what we have to do in some area or another. Some admit it and some don't. God Bless.

Thanks for sharing your Azure Standard delivery. On the coconut cream alone the Azure price for a case is about 15 dollars less compared to Amazon.

You rock and roll girl. You have a wonderful family. Seven handsome children and a husband that helps with them, that’s great. Thanks for the insight. I have to admit, just watching you wears me out! Now i need a nap. Salute

I admire you!

Thank you for this day in the life. Putting up groceries is not glamorous but it is neccesary.

I gotta say...You have a beautiful family and you got it all under control, girl!! I have 6 children and am frantic about everything. I don't delegate though either. I have some changes to make....LOL!!!

Oat cake with honey or maple syrup is a good breakfast meal....or jam or baked apples and cinnamon on it.

I think your children have a blessed life❤

Would love for you to share a Sunday worship time with us. 🥰🥰 blessings to you today!!

You have a beautiful family.

My babies are grown up pretty much, one is 22 and the other just turned 18, if I could go back and change anything it would be homeschooling! Them beautiful children will forever benefit from your love. Thank you for sharing your personal life with us. Oh I noticed your dishwasher lol I have the same one, question how do you get that very top drawer pulled out?😆 mine barely comes forward for some reason lol

With the oatmeal, i measure around 1/2 to 3/4 of a cup of dry oats for younger kids. 1 cup for older kids and adults. It also depends on what toppings you add, the more topping, the less oatmeal. 😊

Grand kids are very fussy about food. They would never eat anything split pea. Most don't even like rice. I suppose I can put this on my prayer list for them to eat a wider variety of foods. 😇 Great food haul. Thanks for sharing. Blessings.

Barilla makes a nice line of legume pasta the red lentil is shown as Gluten free on a dedicated line. Chewier than regular pasta but mixed with other pastas it gives a complete protein. Good for extended storage I believe as I've got an old brand of soy pasta that is at least 20 years old. Haven't tried it as it was really chewy but I assume its still good. Manual grain mills are available for 30-60 dollars. I just crack cheap feed store corn with it as the corn is 9.99 for 50 lbs last time I bought about 2 weeks ago at Rural King. Cracked corn and beans makes a very tasty dish, with onion, garlic and jalapeno I have it for breakfast almost every morning. Field corn is higer in protein than sweet and higher in fiber as well. The whole puffs up nicely when boiled uncracked. Storage? Who knows? God Bless you Ma'am.

Love love this video. GOD'S BLESSINGS ON ALL

I enjoy seeing your days, plus your azure order. Why anyone would criticize you is baffling to me. I actually preserved more this year than normal due to your channel. We actually still have lettuce and radishes growing in large pots for fall garden. Live in eastern Ohio. You I believe are in the snow belt of north western Ohio
