The days you share a video, my day always goes better. I always look forward to your next videos, and while I wait, I'm rewatching your videos. Thank you for sharing your life with us, I know you're so busy, and I appreciate it.

I have say that Lil miss Hannah is just the sweetest thing. I loved seeing her laying on her sheepskin and smiling away at the woodstove. She is so beautiful and precious. You have truly been blessed. God bless sweet Hannah and the rest of your beautiful family. Love your videos and thank you for what you do.

Seeing David laughing at the beginning was heartwarming ❤ prayers for another great week ahead!

I love the way her oldest son always spends time talking to her in the kitchen ❤️ love to see the bonds your family has. It's especially comforting to those who have lost family or never had these close relationships. God bless! Love that the challenge is still going strong

Honey mead vinegar? Ohhhhh that sounds amazing for a vinaigrette on spinach bacon salad with some strawberries!

Thank you so much for taking the time to teach us all how do do so many things! You are so inspiring 💕

Oh my! What a wonderful sheep skin rug for your baby. What a beautiful gift….She’s lovely Jessica. Your so blessed to have children. I could never…God said No

Just so you know, Carolyn at Homesteading Family freeze dried her broth, and said when she rehydrated it the collagen wasn't damaged so it was still gelatinous. I figured since you already have a freeze dryer you might want to give it a try, plus then a quart jar on the shelf would hold a LOT and free up some space for other things.

Jessica you think outside the box which is so refreshing and makes your meals different every time and never boring. Happy birthday to the handsome 14 year old.

Baby Hannah is adorable, I love how she is always a part of all your family activities and how all the children fuss over her ❤

Yay! You're over 100k subscribers. Congratulations!👏👏👏 Your channel is growing fast & I look forward to watching you every week. Thanks for sharing your wisdom & ideas❤️

Thank you so much for posting dairy free meals! Our daughter is dairy free and gluten free and your videos really help give us ideas. So many other homesteads are heavy on the dairy which just does not work for us.

What a great video. Hannah falling asleep by the fire made me smile so big!

Hannah at the end was so ❤❤❤💗💗💗🧡💯💖💖💔💘❣💟💕

Great video! Anna at the fermented homestead recently did a video about canning jelled bone broth. She puts a chicken foot in each jar when processing it and it still jelled when finished processing. Was a very interesting video with lots of information on the whys and hows of the jelling process.

You just rock Jessica!!!! Super happy to see this video this morning!!! God Bless you and your family!!! 💒🙏🌹🌹🌸🌸💮💮

I love the idea of the challenge of learning what you really use and what you are missing. You have such a pleasant manner of sharing moments with others.

I admire how you normalize using every part of the chicken (and cow in last weeks vid). Growing up in the USA and now living on a boat and traveling to remote places, so many cultures utilize all components of an animal, and it’s delicious!

Hannah is beautiful, as are all your children. I love starting my Sunday morning with your videos.

I loved seeing your whole family laughing so hard at the candles. Also Hannah is adorable. I have cared for hundreds of newborns ( nicu nurse) and love a happy breastfed one. I really appreciate your non-dairy recipes as I am allergic to dairy as well. Thank you for this helpful content. Sarah

Your broth looks beautiful! Hannah is growing so fast ! Happy birthday to your son ! All the kids look so happy and healthy! Loving the pantry challenge ! Filled bellies are always a good goal !

She is a really happy baby isn’t she 😊 and she looks so much like daddy! X

oh my goodness that's the prettiest baby I've ever seen

Hello 3 Rivers... there is a home- steader in Alaska who "wraps" her beehives in 2" thick styrofoam insulation panels leaving a hole near the entrance to the hive so that the bees can discard any dead bees. She basically makes a box to surround the hive. She also makes a "fondant" for the bees to feast on if she harvested too much honey. I'm sure there are KZfaq channels that can help you find how to over winter your hives. Little miss Hannah is getting big. I love how your children are so eager to help. Till next time.

Happy 14th birthday dear! 🎉❤

Cannot wait for the honey Meade recipe. Again you use it all even when you were not expecting it! Winter is making its final bow-slowly but surely. Spring is close. I love going thru spring seed catalogs and planning. Hannah will be sitting next to the little boys soon. She is growing and seems very content. Thank you for breakfast ideas. I can carry on with my week now. Blessings~

Enjoyed it! Can't believe David is only 14 and so talented! Happy Birthday David!

Even if you may lose a little nourishment in the broth it's still 100% better then store brought! Love watching you be creative when you what to use up your food! Everything looks so yummy! Learning so much from you. Hannah is so precious! And love how your daughter helped you with the pantry! "Happy 14th Birthday David!🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈

Wow…I never knew that about Honey. Great tip!

I love seeing life schooling. That is how my daughter learned. She was not a book person. But we worked on spelling in ways like you did with your daughter. I tried to have her do bookworm and she would get so frustrated and not get it but if I did something like you did. She would get it with no problems at all. I love watching your videos.

Thanks for Sharing! Baby Hannah is just gorgeous! So precious! All your meals looked delicious!!!

It's pretty amazing to have watched you preserve all of these things over the summer and then seeing them in use months later.

Happy Birthday to you son! One of our boys turned 14 last week. We are still enjoying the pantry challenge. We will be doing it at least through February. God bless you and your family. Have a great week!

little Hannah all zonked out is so cute 🥹

I always look forward to starting my Sundays with your video. Thanks for sharing and have a great week! ❤

🌷 Spring is in just six weeks or so. Your mentioning What or What Not to grow jn your garden this year had me reaching for my big container of SEEDS. Oh. My! What Joy, planning ahead and thinking of hands in the dirt again. THANK YOU ALL.

I am going to have to go back and write this stuff down. I have a lot of allergies and your recipes help me to eat again! Thank you for sharing your already tried and true recipes.

If you insulate around your hive it will keep your bees warmer, and they will need extra feeding as food is scarce. add a bottle sugar water with a slow drip and sugar patties in the top of hive where they can easily access it and between the food and heat uou might be successful.

Happy Birthday David!! That 🕯 blowing was so fun to watch! Thanks for inviting us into your family to celebrate! I love how organized you are with your pantry! You inspire me! Thanks Jessica! God Bless

Thank you for all your wisdom, creativity and blessing us with your happy children!! Makes our day!!!

Lol the blueberry faces ❤

You can also make yogurt, if you don’t want to put the oven or crock pot on, by wrapping them in a heating pad and towels and stick them in a laundry basket. I learned this years ago before I had a crock pot. lol Great video Jessica!

I loved the video, but seeing you enjoying time with your son, while he sips some tea, was the BEST. Our son serves our country and I miss him terribly. We would have coffee dates and chat about life. I do so miss that time with him. Enjoy every second, momma, time flies.

You have a beautiful relationship with your children. It's admirable. Lovely video as always and so much to learn from it. 🖤🐈‍⬛🙏

You’re a very imaginative cook, and that’s a wonderful compliment!!!

Thanks for another enjoyable video. I appreciate your time to give us these videos with your busy family. You help show people how to not be wasteful with food and the versatility in dishes (ie: leftover sloppy joe) and gosh do we live in a wasteful world. We had some honey get fermented, it was b/c of being in a warm room, honey really should be kept in cool space (basement). In joining with the pantry challenge, I'm doing your "empty 7 jars and fill 7 jars"...mostly chicken breasts and pork we need to get out of the freezer and that will be a great quick grab in the summer to top on our garden salads as a main meal lunch.

I love your channel and videos, thank you!! I would recommend waiting to add the craisins to your granola until after it's done baking (add w the chocolate chips). Baking them can dry them out even more. ❤️

Chicken feet make great broth. Good for you for using everything you can….♥️

Your meals always look so good! As a child I lived a lot with my grandparents and I ate chicken feet which my grandma called scratchers. I grew up very poor and eating whatever was put in front of me. It was always home grown or raised.

Love you ! You are such a loving and talented mama !!!

Wow! 9 jars of broth from what some would consider trash. I love how you never have any food waste. Turning leftovers into a different meal so nothing goes to waste.

Thank you for taking us on your bee keeping adventure with you. I have always wanted to have bees but so far that has not worked out. In the meantime I am learning all I can, so thank you again.

You & your family are precious!! I am so thankful God lead me to your page!! I'm trying to learn everything I can about the lost ways.. & homesteading is part of that. Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us!! From everything I have seen, you are a woman of noble character! God bless you & your family sister. 🙏

That baby is so precious!

THAT was great he thought the relight candles were funny!! HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY to him!!

I appreciate your ideas for gluten free and dairy free items. Thank you.

Hope you had a great Birthday David. 🎉

Happy belated birthday and 8 week celebration! Always enjoy the content, especially sweet smiles of all the children. God bless.

She is adorable

I used to teach English to adults from different contries and sometimes they would bring me bbq chicken feet a little hard to eat but yummy.

I LOVE this video! Great breakfasts, I make the hashbrown casserole & the cobbler regularly, need to try the Dutch baby that way it looks yummy. I’ve been craving pear butter but didn’t get any put up last fall. A local market has pears for 99 per pound so I’ll make a mini batch this week. Very interesting about the honey, never knew it could ferment; glad you could still make use of it. I use chicken feet but always just a couple along with bones & meat … does the broth with only feet still have good chicken flavor? Your sweet Hannah is adorable, that first shot her she looked so much like her Daddy 🤗. What an awesome gift that sheep skin is! Hope everyone has a great week

Hannah is so cute!! I had never heard of fermented honey before. I’m glad you found some tips on how to save the fermented part!

Well Hannah Is not getting any shortage of love. Great video learned a lot today. I have never Seen honey Forminute before. I'm happy that everything looks well at your home. I pray that you all stay well.

She is just adorable.

Happy Birthday!

I'm so happy to hear that you use the chicken feet. In Chinese culture they are a food that symbolizes luck and they are delicious. Either way I love hearing about people using the whole animal for something productive. I love your videos!

Good morning!!! Wow, I would be really happy to sit and have breakfast at your house!!!! Your family is so precious. Thanks for sharing your recipes. Gods blessings 🙏

Jessica I love your videos, baby iHannah is so beautiful and your kids are a joy to watch. Please keep the videos coming, I look forward to them.

A couple years ago I made caramel apple pie jam and I’m thinking that would be good to use like you did your pear butter in “cinnamon rolls”.

I'm new to you and your channel I had twins 7moths ago and learning we had allergies, someone suggested watching you and I'm binge watching you have made my life 50percent better as starting new foods into my boys life almond milk thank you bacon grease thank you my boys are devoroing mashed potatoes thank you

Wonderful vlog & so creative; thanks for sharing! This senior gramma is still learning as my mom did all her cooking while we were away at school,so I am appreciative of this wisdom you share! Home schooling really teaches the children real life situations where they learn tons more than what books can alone! True apprenticeship! Blessings to your family & all on this journey🤗💜🇨🇦

We just subscribed now, we love your content! We bought an island in the Canadian wilderness this past summer and your channel is one that we'll be happy to gain inspiration from - keep up the good work!!!

Hi from Ireland. Your breakfasts look amazing. You are a wonderful mother.

God bless you and your family.

I love seeing children eating….they’re so happy and satisfied!❤️❤️❤️

Love the children they make me smile and feel good. Congrats on making 100 subscribers. Your video are very informative. God bless you and your family. 6:08

Your Instant Pot is great for making broth, maybe you will give it a try! I make broth from the same bones twice and it gives you the double amount and it is still delicious! Enjoy your sunday! Greetings from Germany!😍

Impressed with the lovely meals prepared for these lucky babies! I was shocked to see how gelatinous that broth was from the feet, I don’t raise chickens but if I ever do. Thank you for sharing your family.

So happy o watch your videos. I have learnt so much from you and your beautiful fam xx

You are so lovely and inspiring to watch. With the crazy world we live in you are a solace and breath of fresh air, we need you! And Hannah is just so beautiful. 😍

My husband has bees. The reason the honey ferments is because the moisture content was to high when you Jared it. You need to wait longer to harvest the honey.

New to your channel and really enjoying. Hannah is precious. Keep up the the great work with your husband and children.

I bet with eight kids you stay in the kitchen until bedtime cause it must take a lot of planning and food prep to feed that many, but you do an excellent job my hats off to you love your videos and you got some beautiful children

Fermented homstead taught us to Cann 2 chicken feet in each quart and it will retain its gelatin! Yay! 😁

Aww! She is so adorable! Blessings

I can't wait until you show us how to make mead.

I like your new format for the pantry challenge. All breakfasts, all snacks etc. A nice approach! Congrats. I look forward to each new video.

My mom made our beds with sheepskins until we were 5-6years old. She always said it regulated our body temp and made us sleep better. Who knows, I have never known anyone else to do this.

Wow, great video. I didn't know that honey would ferment like that. And I'm looking forward to seeing how you go about making mead with it. I thank you for all the great ideas for breakfast organizing my canning. Bless little Ms. Hannah and her new little bed, so cute. God's blessing over you and all of your beautiful family.

Such sweet helpers!

I just started watching your channel, I love your calming informative videos!

Thanks for the video🙏blessings

Little mountain ranch ferments garlic in honey.

I always look forward to your videos. You always have great ideas to use up everything

Ahhh chicken feet.😋 Try jellied meat made with broth made from chicken feet. A delicious, nutritious meal full of collagen.

Wonderful as always, Jessica!😍

That granola looks amazing and those jelly rolls! I got a sheepskin for my baby last Christmas and we all love it! It is the best babu buy because it is plush and comfortable and keeps them out of restrictive baby seats!

All of your children are beautiful, but my heart melts every time I see Hannah. ❤️

We used to have chicken feet soup with barley loved it as a kid love watching you make so many different breakfast meals your a great mum love watching you Hanna has grown so quick ok off to bed it’s 23:37 pm love Kathy from Australia 🇦🇺 🇦🇺 🇦🇺
