I am 13 weeks pregnant with my 5th child. After a horrible miscarriage after my 4th I didn’t think God wanted me to have any more but after watching some of your videos and hearing your miscarriage stories and how you were able to continue on and carry more children you really helped me heal and move towards putting it in Gods hands. Thank you for making videos and sharing your life with all of us. You are loved more then you could ever know!

Praying for a safe arrival of baby 🙏🏼 38 weeks with baby #3 here. We’re looking forward to welcoming new life into our family. Babies are such a blessing ❤️

I actually can’t get enough of these videos of yours. The whole combination: happy kids, babies, the garden, full shelves, the kitchen, homeschool and your calming voice it lowers my cortisol 😁😍 thank you for the little glimpses, Jessica!

Jessica you and Becky from Acre Homestead are such an inspiration for us. We are starting our Homestead adventure after the first of the year and watching you both has helped me with learning some of the surprises we'll deal with along the way. Thank you

You look so adorable pregnant! That baby heartbeat sound never gets old! ❤️ Praying for this babe!

I just love listening to your vlogs! Your children are very well behaved and your voice is so calming. I can't wait to make your apple butter!!

Is there a more precious sound than a baby's heartbeat? ❤ Love all the colors of your canned goods! So excited and can't wait to see your root cellar.

Having a cellar/pantry with shelves is going to be an enormous blessing! God bless the new little life that will be here soon!💝💙

Jessica, ever since you shared about your miscarriages and the news that you were pregnant again I've prayed for you to have a healthy baby and pregnancy. I'm so excited for you. God bless! 💓

When you use all of the food like you do & nothing goes to waste them it saves so much money! I love how you are looking after yourself & eating healthy during pregnancy. You will bounce back quickly after baby is born♥️

Inspiration & courage in a Jessica shaped package. Thank you Three Rivers Momma♡

I so enjoy the fact that your daughter is left handed. My Dadddy was. He is gone now. I enjoy left handed people.

You are absolutley amazing getting so much done right now! Mamas are suuch miracle workers! Congratulations on your stocked pantry and thank you for sharing the apple butter! Looks amazing!

You have so much work in your pantry. And beautifully stocked. Praying for you and your family and delivery of a healthy baby. Have a blessed day

Happy Sunday Funday to you and your family!!!! GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!! Jessica, you are just "all a glow" with your pregnancy!!!

Absolutely amazing! I am always so inspired by your beautiful pantry.❤

What an incredible food storage you have! You look well Jessica and baby's heartbeat sounds strong!

You have done so well preserving so much food for your family. And a lot of it you have done pregnant. Absolutely amazing!! Prayers for you and the baby! 🙏

I'm so impressed with all the knowledge you share with all of us on pregnancy health, food preservation, gardening and cooking, candle making, lard rendering, tallow rendering, ans so much more, all the old timey ways! You are a blessing to all us subscribers!! Prayers for you, new baby and family!!!!

Listen to that strong heartbeat! It never gets old ! May you have a speedy safe delivery ! Cannot wait to see the newest little one ! You take amazing care of yourself ! Love seeing all the kids and progress ! I find that you use everything beautifully! Blessings !

Baby has a good strong heart beat. God bless your family

You remind us that there is a season for everything. You and your family bring such joy to so many of us. Take care of yourself and the new baby. It seems like just yesterday that you told us you were pregnant. Many blessings~

I canned for the first time this week. Did applesauce in an electric canner. 7 pints…1 failed to seal, so I gave it to a friend. Have ordered the ForJars lids, but didn’t use them for this project. Used the lids that came with the jars. Next project is either turkey or apple butter! There’s only two of us so I can do small projects. Am 67 and never blessed with children, so treasure them and enjoy them! (As you always do😊). Thanks for the discount code!

64 year old man here. i find lots of discarded candles in dumpsters, so i melt these in a tin can on the wood stove in winter. i use old Pringles cans as a mold and broken tapers for the wick. i store these in 18 in boxes to use if and when i need them. i have a large metal stand with a globe to hold these candles that i dug out of 2 separate dumpsters and glued 2 broken door mirrors i salvaged to reflect that candle light (i cut those broken mirrors to the height of my globe) i also make cold process soap in 60 pound batches using used vegitable shortning tossed out in plastic icing buckets at a convenience store

Makes me think about a story I read as a child in elementary school. There was a family that was complaining about the size of their house and the fact that there was not enough room. There were the grandparents, parentts and two young children. They were complaining to an elder about their housing. Well the advice was to invite in some of the animals. They kept this up until they said enough. The elder then said take all the naimals out. Boy what room. Problem solved. You my dear will have a whole new kitchen. I am not saying that you are complaining but you are busting at the seams. You seem to have such a wonderful husband. I have one of those his name is Don. Married 50 years. That he would do the basement for you is such a blessing. Not all men would be so thoughtful. You are me in many ways but a whole lot younger about 30 years. I had my last child at 41. Just got to old. You are such an inspiration to me. I am 72 and disabled now and watching you brings back such fond memories. People do nor realize what a labor of love canning is especially corn. 90 minutes a quart. I was up many a night getting it done. There is great satisfaction in full shelves of home canned food. Well this old bord has ratteled along long enough. Blessings. Just sayen.

You are so inspiring - you get more done pregnant than I do without being pregnant!!! I love seeing all the food you’ve preserved but especially love hearing how you’ll use it. I would love to hear more about the powders and how you use those!! Hope you feel well and have an easy delivery!! 😊❤️

Thank you for sharing how you use your pantry items! It really helps with meal planning and coming up with new ways to use all our preserved food.

The colors of the pantry are beautiful, and the amount of work expended is Amazing! Glad you are feeling good. Enjoyed it!

I volunteer here in NJ at the shore at a community pantry garden and we are also always planting music. We are doing it today, in fact, it’ll go into a bed which is 6’x24’. At home? I plant on the 15th of November. All garlic bulbs and tulips etc. it was my sister’s birthday and since cancer stole her away from me in 2015, I’ve planted on her birthday each year. You look amazing, Mom!! Pretty soon a new little one will be in your arms.

You are such a fantastic mom, and you have a wonderful family. It's almost time for the new arrival yay! I hope you all have a wonderful Sunday and week. Thank you so much for sharing all of your hard work!🥰💛💚💙

Hi Jess, I love your videos. Have you ever thought about Adam interviewing you with some pre-prepared questions that he might think viewers would find interesting. Could be a lot of fun.

Elizabeth’s smile when she’s being your midwife is priceless ❤️ Your pantry is so beautiful Jessica and I’m with you 1000% with scented candles 🕯 Thank you for sharing your week 😊

You and your family will never go hungry! Good for you !!❤

Your pantry is just beautiful to look at with all the different colors of the nutritious foods you worked so hard on for many months.

I was inspired by your video on canning pears. I have several pear trees and I had a very bountiful harvest this year. My mother made a desert she called pear crumble and it has ginger powder in the crumble . I have never made pear pie filling (have lots of apple pie filling)so this year I made pear pie filling but added ginger instead of cinnamon. It tastes very yummy. We're having pear pie for Thanksgiving. Thank you for all your wonderful inspiration.

A really tasty date snack that’s savoury is bacon wrapped teriyaki dates, you just wrap dates in bacon cook them in the oven about 10 minutes before they are done coat them in teriyaki sauce and cook for another 10 minutes, they are irresistible

Just going through the jams reminded me - I did a batch of mulberry w/ blueberry jam a couple years ago and it became my most requested flavor! I highly recommend it, I think I did a 3:1 ratio of mulberry:blueberry.

Thank you for sharing, Jessica. I love how productive you are. Time is a gift from God. May we use it to honor him. There really isn't any excuse to get things done around the home. Just complete one task at a time. Blessings in Christ from Pennsylvania

I use my crock pot to cook it down. Add spices and let it cook overnight. Never scorched this way.

First time in ages I haven't watched your video before going to bed on a Sunday night. Oh well Monday night this time. Needed the rest. Hope you have a blessed week.

Your pantry is Amazing! Your hard work certainly pays off! God bless you and your family! Prayers for your new arrival!

Wishing you well Jessica, your energy and comment to your family is amazing. I love your Pantry, you and Becky at Acre Homestead have inspired me to get back into Canning. I just put up my first ever apple butter after a bumper apple harvest in my garden.

“Leaving it for next year” helps the microbes and worms eat off the roots and plants. Your soil will thank you for the nourishment. If your kids want to cut the plants just cut above the soil leaving the root system to aerate the soil during the winter.

How do you keep weevils from getting into your stored foods? I just had to throw out a bunch due to some getting in and laying eggs under my back door jam. As days warm, they crawl out - nothing seems to kill them except me - slowly hand picking them each day as they hatch and come out. I'm very blessed they don't bite, itch, or smell. I pcik and drop into a waste can full of tainted food as they get collected then wrap in plastic bag for the garbage can. Have just wiped down all the cabinets with vinegar but forgot the bird seed under the front door cabinet - they did not forget it - so now there is a bunch of seed dumped into the compost pile, too. You have so much abundance, but how to protect it would be great video. Thanks for all your inspiration and happy kid smiles.

I always learn something from you, and I am so happy to hear that you use peer reviewed studies for research, that's so important. I can't wait to meet your new baby, I'm feeling like it's a boy, but another girl would be great also. As long as they are healthy I'm just so excited for you. I'm curious if you got to use the outdoor kitchen setup as much as you had hoped this year.

I love seeing everything you preserve. I'm spending the next month or two preserving apples. My local orchard had so many apples this year that they did a "fill your vehicle" sale. I took advantage of that for sure.

What a beautiful pantry you have Jessica! You have so many great ideas for saving and not wasting. You are so ready for baby, and I just love watching your beautiful family. I'm glad you are trying to preserve your energy for the home stretch. Thank you for sharing. I look forward to watching your friend, Little Mountain Ranch. Grandma Kim❤

You amaze me with all the projects you get done. You are such an inspiration.

I got my garlic planted two weeks ago. Good thing as first snow yesterday. There is only me, so I planted my first garlic and excited to grow and see it harvested. Only planted 6 bulbs. I planted the small cloves too as more garlic is better than not. I only saved for eating what cloves got part of the skins removed when separately. Hope mine in a raised bed does well. My last process was apple butter too 4 days ago. I put in crockpot after peeling and coring. I don't have a food mill. That was a lot of work. Lol. I used cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. My apples were not that great and used brown sugar and white sugar, as well as vanilla. Tasted like childhood. So glad I gave it a try. My great aunts sent us some and I could not stand commercial apple butter. So glad I finally gave it a try.

Well done Jessica, what an amazing full, well stocked and varied pantry and freezer space.All your hard work in the kitchen and particularly through the warmth of the summer will be such a blessing to your family. How you have preserved this year will definitely help you during the pantry challenge when you have a precious new life to care for. ❤

I'm a beginner canner. I canned a few items but am so scared of getting botulism. Is there a way to test a jar when you open it? I know you can't smell or see it. I'm so afraid to use what I canned. Ugh! UPDATE: I'm still a beginner but I've learned if I follow the safe guidelines I can trust it. I'm not afraid anymore and have become addicted to canning. Beginner's, if you are afraid like I was start with an electric pressure canner. Takes the scariness out of it. Mine is the Presto.

I love Chelsea @ Little Mountain Ranch. Both of you garden and preserve food. Love both of your channels.

Wow, so much work involved in this!! Good luck with the last days of your pregnancy, I'm praying for a quick delivery and healthy mama & baby!

My 20 year-old son make our candles, he's been doing it since he was 12/13 he collects pretty glass containers from the guys at work. He's a trained blacksmith but like leatherwork, painting and cooking too. I hope he has a wonderful homestead of his own one day and stays off the treadmill as much as possible. Your growing family is lovely 🥰 Thanks for the information on apple butter as a Brit I always wondered what the real difference between apple sauce and apple butter was. May have a go at that next year all our apples have been processed this year except the eaters of course.

Thanks for recommending Chelsea's channel! I've been enjoying her videos a lot! Actually got my garlic planted this year after a year of not planting it.

Your pantry is amazing I'm in awe!!

Great video , kids helping mom , teaching the youths , days ahead it will help them become adults ! Congratulations on the new baby arriving soon , stay safe , stay strong , enjoy !!!

Thank you! I have so missed you, my hubby has been in and out of hospital and I am so over whelmed! I needed to hear you beautiful calming voice tonight. We got surprise snow, 5 inches, the day after my garlic came I need to get it in the pots!!!!

Okra water is also supposed to help with a quick and easy labor!

I love how you make your own vitamins!

I enjoy how wholesome your videos are. They comfort me.

I have been a follower for 2 years and just found Chesea 2 weeks ago. I agree that she is delightful with a massive pantry a regular pantry a warmer pantry and a root cellar and refrigerators + freezer s.

Thank you for the tour! I always look forward to your videos! I also love watching your pregnancy journey 🥰

Your pantry looks fabulous! Its amazing to look at all the full jars and realize all the work invoved in it!!!!!!! Your family always eats well!!!! That little heartbeat was precious. Thank you for saring that with us!!!!

So much inspiration in your videos, always! 🙏🏼 Thinking my girls and I will make some of these candles, too. I also have a severe fragrance allergy, so I understand your struggles. It's no fun! 💗 Praying for a safe and stress free labor & birth of the new babe. Amen!

Your root cellar will be such a blessing for your family ❤️

Good morning I was looking forward to your video. I watched your friends pantry tour, I enjoyed it.

Jessica, I enjoy seeing what you have preserved and how you use it to nourish your family. Many of the things you preserve are not really something I’m accustomed to or have a feel about how to use them. I will look forward to seeing your creativity flow this winter using your food stores. Wishing your family health and a bit of recharge this fall 💜

God bless you, enjoy your nesting time and some of that wonderful food you've put up. Xx

Lovely strong heart beat. So sweet your kids are so helpful

So excited for new baby

Prayers dear girl for you and your precious family. And new baby. Blessings

Way to go, Jessica. I’m impressed!

I leave kale and chard in the garden for the winter and get a super early harvest in the spring. Naturally they want to quickly go to seed, but you can still get a great early treat with no effort required! 😊

I love listening to you and watching all of you together! I planted all of my garlic this weekend as well. Have a Blessed week ahead.

I'm grateful for you sharing your beautiful family and your life with us. Congratulations on all of your food preservation projects. You have an amazing abundance of food. Be Blessed 🥰❤️🥰

I love seeing what your pantry looks like right after canning season when organization is a crazy challenge. I feel like I have jars everywhere in my storage rooms and cases of things stacked on top of each other and inventory right now would be impossible lol. I keep sending my kids downstairs with cases of full jars and they keep putting them wherever they fit - no organization at all lol. It’s a project for a rainy day later on I think lol. Thankyou ❤️

Love seeing your pantry, your children, your home-well basically your life! Today I’ll be butchering rabbits and canning pumpkin-Lord willing!

Really enjoy watching cantry videos, it's so inspiring even though I do so much of my own. I finally got good quality metal shelving units for organizing mine, now I can keep track of what I have alot better rather than it being scattered in all areas of my basement. It feels so good to have food security. Will be joining your pantry challenge again as well.

Truly enjoy your family videos and your very knowledgeable on everything you do and I watch your videos every Sunday and your children are hard workers can’t wait to see your new little bundle of joy God Bless your family.

You’ve done a wonderful job preserving all of the food that you’ve grown! I’m glad you mentioned planting garlic because I still need to get mine planted. I had trouble with my garlic that I planted in a taller raised bed last Autumn freezing this past winter. It killed the entire crop. I replanted in the late Spring and then the drought killed that planting. I’m going back to planting it in a shorter raised bed where I’ve successfully grown it previously.

All interesting and educational but my favorite was listening to the Baby's heartbeat. Thank you.

Good Sunday Funday Morning Jessica👋👋👋 I hope your doing/feeling well this fine day🙏🤞 You look so beautiful, you’ve got a pretty glow and you’re just adorable pregnant, prayers the rest of your pregnancy is easy on you. TYFS, I enjoy your vids so much, I always learn new things watching and I find you to be a very calming soul, your children are fortunate to have such a smart and loving momma to teach them all they need to know to grow into productive, informative and caring folks👍👍👍 TYFS, I hope you all have a beautiful and peaceful day, it’s going to be 78 in South Jersey today, I hope it’ll be nice where you live too, enjoy!♥️💫✨👼🏻✨💫♥️

Thank you Jennifer, it's awesome to see the results of your food preservation labours. I hope the baby doesn't come too soon, but if it does I know you'll be perfectly ready to receive it. All the best and love from Dee in NZ ❤️

I'm so excited for the pantry challenge. it'll be my first year participating

Just made our apple butter this past weekend and planted garlic yesterday! We are also in Ohio in Zanesville! Love your videos and seeing what you and your family are up to.

Your pantry shelves look so beautiful..Great work..well done. You are so inspiring 🙂

Just behind you at 27weeks and I love the date bite idea. I usually just take a date out and eat it.Ha! Praying for a wonderful delivery over you!

Loved the tour. You've done alot of work.

Chelsea is fantastic💥Music garlic is what I always plant.

I am so impressed with the amount of food you have grown and preserved for your family! Praying for a good finish to your pregnancy and a healthy, easy birth!

Carolyn, Becky and you are some of my favorite. I just learned about the mountain homestead I will watch more of her I love her pantry. Your very helpful also.

I'm 32 weeks pregnant with my fifth and just barely starting on our homestead. We have lived here for a year to assess the land but it's hard we live in the mojave desert 🏜 😀 lol keep us in good energy!

I so enjoy watching your family cook and garden together, it warms my ❤️ I love to cook but have no one to cook for anymore 😢 garden alone huge garden put up lots for my children if they have no food if things go bad. Enjoy preserving food , thanks for sharing ❤

I, too, love the clean scent of beewax candles. I make apple butter in a Crock Pot. No scorching.

The bigger the bulb you plant and the bigger the head of garlic you can harvest. Always use your biggest bulbs for next season. Over time you’ll end up with the size garlic you want.

I love that you and Chelsea as promoting each other! You both are so amazing and I enjoy both your content ❤️ I live in the same province as Chelsea but I live on a boat access only island and the coast, so her area is much colder and harder to growth. Kate from Venison for Dinner is also from BC and has a great channel too!

Absolutely wonderful!!!!

WOW you are an amazing woman!! I am so so impressed. 🥰. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers 🙏❤️

I so very much enjoy your channel....i only wish there was more..God Bless you and yours and thank you so much for sharing your beautiful life and family with us!!
