I have actually had to battle quite a bit of discrimination (in the homeschooling 'world') where I live - being Catholic. there are not that many Catholic homeschoolers where I live & any time we try to pair up with other moms, it seems like their husbands are always pastors of a Protestant denomination. Some of their CHILDREN can be very unkind towards our faith & we always have to do alot of 'explaining' or arguing about why we believe what we believe. Having children tell your kids that they went to a Mass & thought it was "stupid that the priest wears a dress" or that we don't "know the Word of God" puts you in sticky situations if you want to continue with whatever group activity you are part of. Lots of unkindness.

As a protestant homeschool mother, I am so sorry to hear you’re going through this. We are sisters in Christ it’s ridiculous to treat a sister as the enemy. And none of us should ever teach our children to be unkind to others to you. It is not right and I’m sorry for the misbehavior allowed by these mothers and children.

I feel like when I became a mom that's when I really started becoming much more self-disciplined in homemaking. I suddenly found a love for cleaning since before I was terrible at not cleaning things (but I did live completely alone for a long time before that and did not have anyone to keep things up with except me). I think the temptation of ordering in food or just having Ramen for dinner is one of mine. Cooking is that one thing that I know I am going to have to work on for years in order to really love it. But it is something that excites me! Creating things is a huge part of my soul and knowing that I can create beautiful and nourishing meals does sound fun. It'll be a process for sure since I work full time and my energy levels are much lower in the evenings. And thank you for showing how to clean the cast iron skillet! I've felt like I've been doing it wrong because I have used soap before. I've usually left ours for my husband to do since he has got it down! But that's another thing I need to stop being scared about haha!😂

I am with you on the cooking. It hasn't been since this past year that I have really committed to from scratch cooking where I don't buy any box food and rarely any canned. I have never had a love for cooking. It is definitely an area I also struggle with, but like you, I enjoy the creativity. You do awesome things! You are a great homemaker and mom. Lodge says you can use soap, but when I have, I thought the food tasted like it. Don't be afraid of it. It's super easy and forgiving!

Love watching another Catholic mama with little ones! I have a 1 year old, a 2 year old, and another on the way. I would love your perspective on maintaining your household, patience, and sanity while pregnant and juggling little ones. I often am torn between staying on top of tasks vs giving myself rest vs giving time to my children
@faithfulacresfarmhouse 8 ай бұрын
You are in the thick of it as well! Being pregnant is so hard, sick in the beginning and big at the end lol, it's hard to get it all done. Before I had my baby in February, I really just needed someone to remind me that it's okay if everything isn't done. We are each in different seasons, and it's important to give yourself grace. I am also working on patience. It definitely takes continuous practice. Give your body the rest it needs, so when you do go to complete tasks you have "more" energy and aren't completely drained running yourself into the ground. Keep it up! You are doing awesome!

@priscillamoore5736 5 ай бұрын
The way my mom recovered from pregnancies is that she would take a nap when the baby would nap. Since you have three "littles", I would suggest making sure you give yourself rest. I know of a single mom who was desperate to find time for herself, so she started getting up an hour earlier than her children. It took getting used to, as that meant getting up at 4 am, but, for her, that was necessary for her sanity. You have to find what works best for you. Remember that you cannot be at your best for your children if you wear yourself out.

I’d be interested in how you season your cast iron. We are plant based so ours is used to sauté veggies most of the time and I am still not pleased with the way items stick.

I saute everything in cast iron! We just did a huge veggie skillet. Once the cast iron is seasoned, it is super easy to use, clean, and maintain! It's the worst when things stick! I love Sirach and Wisdom too! ❤️ So many great verses!
@faithfulacresfarmhouse 8 ай бұрын
Okay sorry, I totally read your message wrong. I agree, when it's seasoned there is less of an issue with sticking. Quick seasoned (like the video) I wash it, place it on medium heat for 1 minute until the waters evaporated, added a little bit of canola oil, and let it heat up for about 3 minutes. Deep season I wash, rub canola all over (top, bottom, edges) and place it in the oven at 475 to 500 degrees for 1 hour. You can also take it out add more oil and go for an additional hour. I do quick seasonings with every use (unless I use it for breakfast / lunch in a reasonable time frame). I recommend doing a deep seasoning on chilly days when windows can be opened.

@nancyvandergucht9295 6 ай бұрын
@westmanacademy I use rags I make from bed sheets (hope this is correct word 🙂) To make your apple sauce not so liquid , I use a little lump of butter so the apples do not stick to the pan. At a very low fire ,and cut in larger pieces. And this way I find the apple sauce not so liquid. But indeed ,it gets watery, which also depends on the type of apples used .

We used to have a shock / noise collar and "burried" aka laid wire around our property at our old house. That worked really well, and we did flag training where the wire was. We haven't done that here, and our dog does wonder from time to time, but she's honestly a good dog and doesn't run off. We also keep her inside when we leave just in case. We bought the collar and wire from Amazon.

7 from the Old Testament. Many Protestants consider them "the Apocraypha". When Luther split from the Catholic Church, he chose the Jewish form of the Old Testament. The Jews don't accept the books because they aren't written by prophets and were written in Greek not Hebrew. The books would've been part of the Septuagint, which is the Bible Jesus and the Apostles would've used, which is why the Church considers them "Spirit Inspired." 🥰

Sirach is one of the seven books removed or "separated" from the original Canon (books of the Old Testament) by Luther in the 1500s. Many Protestants recognize it as informational or historical, but not inspired by the Spirit. As a Catholic, it is included in our Bible, also known as Ecclesiasticus, Ben Sira, or Words of Wisdom. It is very similar to Proverbs. Luther also wanted to remove James, Hebrews, Jude, and Revelation from the Bible, so I believe this book (Sirach) (as well as the 6 others - just as we believe James, Jude, Hebrews, and Revelation are) all Spirit inspired and part of the Bible. The link provides more information. Hopefully I didn't confuse you. bible.usccb.org/bible/sirach/0

The Book of Sirach or Ecclesiasticus is a Jewish work, originally written in Hebrew. It consists of ethical teachings, from approximately 200 to 175 BCE, written by the Judahite scribe Ben Sira of Jerusalem, on the inspiration of his father Joshua son of Sirach. The book of Sirach is part of the Septuagint, the version of the Hebrew Bible from which the early Christians emerged. The Christian Bible contained these deuterocanonical books until Martin Luther, assuming the Masoretic text to be the original, removed them to match the new Jewish canon. Many Protestants consider it part of the Apocraypha (the 7 books Luther separated). Hopefully that wasn't confusing. Catholics believe it is Scripture inspired by the Spirit!

Just a heads up the H.E. Marshall books were written from a Protestant prospective. I think that's been the biggest eye opener for my husband and I, that we were taught "History" void of any credit given to Catholics (at best). We use Seton also ❤ and have been gobbling up the History given in light of the One, True and Holy Apostolic Church ❤ one of the best little nuggets is that George Washington had a devotion to Our Lady, her picture still hangs at his house Mount Vernon (now a museum) and had a monk come over from an island off the coast while on his death bed to be converted. Soldiers back then had to take to take oath not to be Catholic. The first slaves brought to America were Irish Catholics that were brought over by the pilgrims! It's just amazing how so many nuggets were left out. I always tease my husband, who's ancestors were on the Mayflower, that his ancestors brought mine over as slaves. I'm a whole Lotta Irish! I'll share one last one- all these cities and towns that are named after the Saints because it was tradition to name the city after the feast day they founded the city! And That's just beautiful ❤

Thanks for the heads up! I use anything against the Catholic faith as a teaching moment for my kids. We talk about why certains things are taught and believed, but why we don't view it the same. What beautiful insight you shared. I plan on going to Mt. Vernon in June, and will keep an eye out! That is so interesting! I love that many of the towns in Wisconsin are named after saints, and every 5 minutes is a beautiful old Catholic Church! 🥰
