The Hollar Homestead is by far the easiest Homestead family to LOVE. Real, honest and no drama, nothing fake ....We love Meg, Ben and all the kids - and the small star "Buggie"😍

you don't have a puppy to clean up food you have Buggie. It takes time to build and the foundation is one of many important steps. This is such a wonderful event for everyone. The nicest thing is everyone is involved. I can not imagine having so many people view my work then tell me what I should have done. 95 % of the people only wish you well and enjoy sharing in your lives. So Ben the builder lets build the family way.

Good on you for taking this on before your next precious little one arrives. Buggy's new "DO" is more than noteworthy... I've seen those steamers in shops, but have never seen one actually working. Thank You for a great gift giving idea as well as something new to try out. And last but not least another "cameo" of Millie. She is such a pet and she loves her people... Just think, soon she will have another little person to supervise. Love You All...

Great that you got your rectangle is set and congratulations on the very close measurements for your diagonals to show square. Thanks Ben for saying you can just film it in a more leisurely way.

Right now you are living your life, but I can tell you for a fact, you will get to your older years faster than you can even believe. At 79 I often ask my wife how we got here so fast. And while a lot of us enjoy sharing your adventure thru your youtube channel, you are going to have a heck of a "scrapbook" to look back at and reminisce when the time comes! Thank you for sharing it with us. We love you "guys"!! I have a cat named Bella and when I built my retirement Studio/video editing suite up the hill by my house, she was always my inspector lol! I was 74 at the time and it took me a year because I did it mostly just she and I, but we got it done with a little help from one of my sons when we did the roof work. (this was my second studio. the other much bigger, but I was also much younger lol! Took 4 years to build that one because I was still on the road entertaining at that time.) Love you guys. I sort of revisit my younger years with you in a vicarious way thru your adventures. A lot of your adventures remind me of some of mine. ❤❤

Even Meg's so-called "accidents" look good. Your cherry/cheese danish looked so good that I went to my freeser and pulled out my strawberry/cheese Toaster Strudel from way in the back buried under who knows what. Mine was delicious so I am guessing that yours was out-of-this-world. And I like your plan for filming and presenting The Build. Excellent video as usual.

Hey, well done Meg, Ben and children ❤ I will be happy to watch anyway, the way you film it doesn't matter. Everything you do in your vlogs is very encouraging for me, trying to build self-sufficient life for my family. I have learned so much from Meg about cooking: new recipes and also ways to make cooking easyer. Ben, I truly understand your frustration about the filming and working. It's hard! You don't feel like filming and then you are sorry non having filmed 😂 and then the feeling that is this enough for a vlog... I make sometimes a puzzle video, when I only have a little footage. That means I put voiceover on some parts or film an intro for it or some clips to fill the spaces. I think the hardest thing about filming a daily vlog is: you have to concentrate in two things. In planing your filming and doing the project... Anyway, I just want to say: I watch every vlog you post, they give me a ton of hope, ideas and advice. They also give the sense of this life as a prosess, ups and downs and makes me also feels a bit more normal ❤❤❤❤ 23:53

I LOVE cherry cheese Danish so am definitely going to try this recipe. If I gain a ton of weight, it will be Meg's fault....LOL. I hope you all are blessed as much as we are blessed by sharing your family's journey through life.

I love your videos, they are so real life. I like seeing the fails too. So many videos out there share how to do it perfectly, but the world isn't perfect. When I watch your families videos it feels real instead of staged. This video was good with the cut to what was happening in the kitchen. I like when you show both parts. Meg, I will definitely try the pastry, if you want to have more of an angled braid, try cutting your "wrapping fingers" on a angle. It will cause your dough to naturally angle down at a more "braided" look. But the look yummy the way you did them too.
