We’ve moved a lot in the past few years and I’ve found when we had a finished/remodeled house we’ve been bored and uninspired. Our warmest memories are from the houses with the most projects. It’s hard to embrace in the moment, but just look how far you’ve come and the memories you’ve made already! Look back at some of these videos from even 6 months ago…it’s all coming together!😊

another beauty of a video - your editing is so nice with the music and the little blurbs you add and different shots of leaves and things. i loved it, was so happy this was published today! God bless your day hugely

I just found your beautiful videos. I'm a homeschool , homesteading mom of 9. Only 3 left home. 10th grandbaby on the way. I appreciated that you add a little scriptures and encouragement. Blessings to you amd yours!

You spoke right to me. I'm 29 with a 3 year old daughter and 2 year old son. And been with my husband for 12 years. I'm doing all the homesteading things, literally only need to buy ingredients such as flour salt etc. But we moved last year to a beautiful river bottom farm with plans to build a home. Because of prices we bought a single wide trailer instead and it has been an extremely hard. I never wanted a trailer. It's pretty cute on the inside but there are alot of imperfections that get me so down. You spoke right to me when you said you practice gratitude to not get down about your home. We are homemaking mommas/wives. Our spaces are important to us. Glad to know I'm not alone in feeling that way.

Thank you! It is now much easier. My older kids all homeschool now as well. It is so fun! I have been power watching your videos. You sure went through a lot! Id love to hear how you got saved!!! Glad you found a relationship with Jesus!❤

Going through videos I haven’t seen yet… I’m definitely loving looking through them. Thanks ❤ xo

Love your channel and learning the new recipes. Love the peaceful feeling of your videos. I'm from Texas and just want to share how to say tomatillos, its pronounced with the double l as a y like in the word tortilla. Tom uh teeyo:) Beautiful content, thanks for your videos

We use tomatillos or salsa verde on chicken thighs in slow cooker with lots of cilantro, diced onion, diced jalapeño, thin sliced carrot and a little red salsa (if only used tomatillos). Cook till its cooked through, then shred chicken and mix it all up and serve on nachos or tacos, or add some cheese and cream to make a cheesy dip. Its absolutely amazing!

Oh don't get rid of the old rocking chair! They can be re-caned! ❤

Oh my, those chairs! We had both the rocker and the rattan chair, we called it the Queen chair. Loved those pieces, but they were lost along the way. Enjoy!

I dehydrated pears for the first time this year and my kids LOVE them. I even left the peels on.

Beautiful life.

I am so glad you mentioned how much you are enjoying the cookbook. I have a copy and we'll haven't made the time to explore it. Now with your recommendation I will put it on my to-do list.😊

You know what’s even better than tomatillo salsa? Is fire roasted salsa! I’m Spanish and my hubby is Mexican and our favorite way to make fresh salsa of any kind is to torch it with a blow torch so that it’s got lots of blackened areas -the fire roasted goodness-and then just use it in the salsa the same way you normally do and it just totally elevates the salsa! It’s so yummy i highly recommend you try it! But if that’s not your thing of course that’s totally fine too lol anyway blessings to you! ❤

I’m a little behind on your videos in case you haven’t noticed haha but that’s ok because now i get to binge watch them! Yay!

*** I vote for canned pear halves for you next year.**** They are divine - better than any dessert! kitchen 'sight' makes me laugh right now (in March) because my kitchens ends up looking like this too. It makes me laugh now, but feeling like sobbing when it is going on in Sept....😅I feel so grateful to have the wonderful harvest coming in & I have actually built up to raising/growing most of our food for the year, but it is a sight. I do not have much kitchen space, even tho this is an old farmhouse. I honestly do NOT know how my great grandmother did what she had to do in this house with 6-7 kids underfoot???? We have added on & I am still cramped for work space. I have a work table in the middle of the kitchen & it ends up HEAPED with produce & canning 'stuff'. I homeschool, too & we do NOT start our school year until after harvests are mostly done. I aim to have tomatoes canned up & done by 2nd week in Sept. I spend all summer canning 1 batch of 'something' every single day. Except for tomatoes, peaches, & pears I never try to can bushels of stuff all day. And this includes canning 'for hire' for others. I will often be canning for 2-3 extra families on certain items (I preserve in trade for produce, or for $$$, or barter for some other service). Luckily, my MIL LOVES to cut fruit - so she comes & spends the day trimming peaches. I never even bother to put any canning stuff away & I am always on the hunt for jars. 2 years ago I found quart jars for $10 a dozen at our Dollar General. I bought all 24 dusty boxes of them & solved that problem. LOL.The good thing about canning with someone else is that the jars 'flow' back & forth between our houses & no one person needs store them all. 😁 I just put off school until the major canning days are over & we never take any other vacations; no 2 week xmas or spring break or anything, so I can justify the late start (in our state, NY, you can set your hours how ever you want as long as you meet 900 hours for the school year). Then comes venison canning & the very LAST thing I can is the turkey broth & soup out of Thanksgiving leftovers. By then I am exhausted & am glad to put it ALL away for a few months. I can NOT do more than one huge task in a day anymore. I have some chronic illness that slows me down - so it is either canning & we eat, or homeschool & we're smart LOL LOL LOL

Your family and home are so beautiful. God is so good!!!🙏🏼

Beautiful video.

I like bright and tacky colors now. I dress very conservative. If you were to see me out in public, I still wear penny loafers but if you look at my socks, they're outrageously tacky bright screaming and I think in that house the return it suits that house. You make it look well

Everything looks wonderful. Tomatillo is pronounced "toe-ma-tea-yo" 😀😉

It is so nice to see your video! Wow those tomatoes are really cool and I have never seen hanging draping types before. It is cool how the peppers are in all the windowsills. Boho theme is nice! Things don't really go out of style these days, honestly. There are some things that age poorly or are not cared for carefully though that can make them look bad. I think your chair looks nice! If you like it and use it a lot, that is what matters. I love that you covered your TV to help your kids understand their priorities better. I had to take away a computer a couple weeks ago because a school project was not handed in on time or worked on well. . .so a week without computer for that child. They did not argue at all with me and understood. It is a good discipline to take away the things that kids love so they can do what is important. That child also is my working child, so he isn't constantly in front of a screen anyway and makes his own money.

What a great video! What was it you were making in the dehydrator and what was the stuff you and your husband picked off the evergreen tree trunks

I think I am going to ask my library to order one of the fermented food books 😊 I would love to try out some recipes.

Very Beautiful Thanks for sharing👍🙏✌

I love the chair in the bedroom! I been looking for one but can’t decide what to get

I wish I loved freezing tomatoes😢. I tried this for the first time this Summer. I think it may have been easier if I cored them prior to freezing. And, be sure to add time for the thawing process. You're harvest is awesome! Also, ferment carrots, dill and garlic! They're delish!! That's one of my favorite fermenting book❤ I've also heard the Thanksgiving celery and sage ferment is awesome! Gonna try that for Thanksgiving 😊

Oh my gosh I've never heard of San Marzano tomatoes before but now I can't wait to give them a try! Where did. you find the seeds?

Pear leather is excellent. We don't peel our organic pears, just core, blend in the Vitamix and pour onto silicone trays for dehydrating. So yummy. Could you explain your "Masters in herbology"? Is this an actual degree and from where?

I have all the questions haha. Feel free to save them for a Q&A but where did you get the masters in Herbology from? And is this like an educational degree or is it a master herbalist certification? I want to get an herbalist certificate but a lot of the programs cost a lot more than I can sensibly pay as a SAHM. I would also like to figure out how to work in a part time job but it’s tough with the hours my husband works.

Are the tomatoes ripening on the vine? You mean there's been a easier, space saving way of ripening green tomatoes this whole time?

Is that you singing?!!!
