Lovers of Jesus Christ, Family of 8, living in a 250 yr old farmhouse.
Our journey through 11 miscarriages led us to the knowledge of the importance of quality real foods, a wholesome lifestyle, and ridding our home of toxins. Through this process God also lead us to become involved in local foster care and adoption.
With the limited local resources available at the time(2008) we set out to raise our own foods starting with a dairy cow and working forward from there. We are managing our combined 130+ acres on our family farm and are offering our community 100% grass-fed & grass-finished beef and lamb, pasture & forest-raised pork, chicken, turkey and eggs.
This channel was created for me to share some of my knowledge with other moms starting out on this journey. I hope to encourage you and make you laugh as you come alongside me and share in our lives together

Unmedicated Home Birth of our 7th baby-Outside on our Farm
This video shares very raw footage of my 6th homebirth. I have prayed over this video and how much to share, as this is a very vulnerable moment in my life, and it is terrifying sharing it with the world. However, those of you who know our story know the absolute beauty of this moment and I pray this can give you hope that God is good and has wonderful plans for our lives.

I'm taking our monthly trip to Lancaster County PA to restock my food supplies. Along with our stop at Costco, I also make sure to always stop in several of the local Amish stores and farms to load up on the foods we love. Though I try very hard to keep processed foods at a minimum, I am finding myself needing to take some short cuts this season.

How a homeschooling, farming, large-family momma structures her week
Hi. My first baby girl. She was 13 days beyond my due date. The wait was very nerve racking. And she was born when there was a fool moon. She weighed 9,5lbs. And 21 inches long. She was so beautiful,I did end up having a c-section.
Prettiest babyboy!!🩵🩵🩵
May God bless you and your baby with amazing love your family is so blessed 🙏🏼❤️
OMG, i was crying watching this video. My 2 births (girls) were by c-section w/my husband right behind my left shoulder. Our God is truly amazing. Theodore James is beautiful. I love his name. Congratulations.
11 losses 😢bless your heart
It certainly was a very difficult journey to where we are now. BUT, God is so good and I have grown so much because of the faith that I needed to endure those times.
Can I ask what your husband does
He is part owner for his family excavation business and runs the field with all the crews. Plus, mechanic and truck driver and anything else that’s needed each day 😁 He works very long days. I get a little annoyed(ok a LOT) when people get nasty asking where he is and why he’s not helping me. That man works his butt off to provide me and our children with an amazing life. He does anything for me and treats me like a queen. Plus, he doesn’t like being in videos so I make sure to edit him out as much as possible. Long answer to your simple question, I know 🤣❤️
Congratulations. Mama and baby are doing well. Mom looks amazing. Try to rest whenever you can sending prayers your way.❤❤❤
Thank you ❤️ my precious husband and children have been amazing at taking care of me while I rest.
What a beautiful birth story. I enjoyed every minute and cried like a baby at the end. Especially with that beautiful song "I just wanna say Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.... Thank you." Thanks for sharing ❤ I'm currently 3 months with my 5th pregnancy but, I lost my 1st son (3rd pregnancy)the day I turned 6 months due to preeclampsia. Your story gives me courage 🙏💪 Name of the song please... I'd like to add it to my playlist 🙂
Is this you singing? Beautiful!
No, but I do love singing and playing piano. 😁
Your witness is strong and powerful. I was touched by your babies with your grandparents in heaven.
I’m so glad ❤️
Congratulations🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you ❤️❤️
I couldn’t wait to get to watch this!!!
❤️ He’s finally here!! 🙌🏼❤️😁

WOW!!! Those are really fast! What a blessing to have so many children and grandchildren. Goodness, I cannot imagine losing babies further along in the pregnancy like that. God definitely spared me in that sense and I lost all mine in the first trimester. What blessings to be able to meet our unborn children one day ❤️
Congrats! Boys are always late, they start early being late for things!
🤣 and he’s off to a good start
New to the channel has not been well. Watched your videos all night long. Just love you. Congratulations. See of your little bundle. Sending hugs your❤❤
Oh I hope you are enjoying them 🥰 Thank you so much ❤️
Amazing. Simply amazing. Thank you for sharing your birth story. What an intimate and vulnerable experience we women have the pleasure to go through. God bless you, your little one and your family.
It is definitely difficult to know how much to share but I pray it blesses everyone who watches. God is so good ❤️
What are the names of the songs you are playing? My husband and I love it
This is one badass mom💪🏽I aspire to be like her someday🫶🏽
Aw, but I don’t have it all together. Just some things some times 🤣
@GridIronHillFarm That's exactly why you're inspiring because you show that life is tough but you keep pushing through! Also I literally dream about your life struggles from the farm to the home births😅😂
Wow! Who wants to have 7 children in 2024!
Those of us who know the blessing it is to be surrounded by lots of people to love ❤️
Congratulations WOW 7 children now a little boy 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
We are so excited 🥰
We're is your husband he could be with you.
He WAS with me. He’s the guy rubbing my hips and filling my tub and getting me everything I ask and holding me while I birth our child.
you look especially beautiful
Thank you 🥰 mascara does wonders 😆
Love and prayers to all 💕💕💕
Be still my HEARTOh my momma's heart~ to God be ALL the glory~ EVERY glory, everywhere~ in His precious, holy name, we are blessed!! Had no idea I'd be up at 1am sharing in such a glorious, be-you-tee-full moment, Wow! No other moment in life comes close to this, not one 🎉HAPPY BIRTHDAY THEODORE JAMES!!🥳
Thank you so much ❤️ It is definitely a bit terrifying to share such a vulnerable moment with everyone but I think it’s such a beautiful story of God’s love.
What a blessing! Can you share the tincture you used prior?? Thank you!
This is the one I used for 4 previous births: www.amazon.com/Mountain-Meadow-Herbs-Gentle-Birth/dp/B00LPJV6TY/ref=asc_df_B00LPJV6TY/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=693644791093&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=5930456903001443461&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9007855&hvtargid=pla-571472177181&psc=1&mcid=d73c4fa703a639d78a4401354db1fccb
I’ll have to find the exact one I used this time around. I can’t remember who made it. I feel like it worked just like the Gentle Birth though.
Thanks so much! Blessings on y’all!
Beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing! Bless you and your beautiful family! Welcome to the world little man❤️
Thank you so much ❤️❤️
Oh wow, Leigh. What an amazing video. 🥲 Even though you were in agony there at the end, you did so well managing it. I think the cows were empathizing, lol. 🤣🤣 And cheering you on! I’ve watched a couple of other birth stories, but yours caused me to tear up. Thanks for sharing this special time. You’ve worked really hard the past few months, and all your plans and study helped this go smoothly. Then when you did all you could do prayerfully, you kept praying to get through the birth and be present. I think this is a lesson for all of us regardless of the situation. All your videos about your pregnancy with Theodore James are a wonderful testimony of faith. Thanks so much for sharing this. 🙏❤🌻🌷🌸
Thank you so much for such kind words. This was definitely a very vulnerable video to share but I think such a beautiful story of God’s love.
Hi Leigh! I’m so glad your baby’s birth went smoothly, despite the late arrival. 😉 He is a beautiful baby, and you are absolutely glowing! 😊 Thanks for sharing such a special time with us. 🙏❤🌻🎉🎊
🥰 Thank you. He’s just so precious.
Precious ❤
Congratulations Family ❤
Thank you!!
Congratulations. Absolutely amazing birth story. I just had my 6th baby. Our birth stories are very similar. This boy was only 1 week past his "due date". Our oldest is 9. Our precious boy was born on the 13th. His first name is James.
Oh my goodness ❤️ With you having 6 babies in 9 years did you find your deliveries to be more gentle? Sorry, I know it’s a personal question. I’m just stumped as to how I could have one painless birth and the others were…well, I had ALL the feels 🤣 My hunch was that those were close births but I don’t know.
Congratulations to you and your family xx
Thank you ❤️
When the cows were mooing I was expecting three wisemen to show up!! Congratulations, he's perfect. 💙
🤣🤣 I was expecting cows to get loose and start running around wild.
I've just started watching you. As a farm mom I love your content...the real workings of a farm. The real world no editing way things actually work out! Thanks so much
Oh my goodness, out of all my videos I think this one might be my favorite 🤣 The crazies of farm life with lots of kids 🤣🤣
👋 hi l have 9 children all grown up now enjoyed the cooking fresh food 67 now l live on my own with my dogs 🐕 xx 😘
Oh wow! I bet that was a difficult transition to go from cooking for so many mouths to not. I am one of four kids and my mom STILL struggles not to cook so much for her and my Dad 🤣
Congratulations. God bless you and your family.
Thank you so much!
Congratulations!! Loved it!!
Thanks so much!!
❤❤
A truely beatiful blessing ❤️❤️❤️
You’re crying was probably a culmination of sheer exhaustion and relief knowing that you were very soon having your son 🥰
Absolutely! What an emotional few weeks. Heck, it’s been an emotional year from the moment I found out I was pregnant.
You should always wear ear plugs and glove weedeatting! Next year for new garden, make your pathway wide as your lawn mower or small tractor.
Good advice. I never think to do that at the moment 🤦🏽♀️
God less you and your family 🤗💙🤗🙏🏻
Thank you
Now that is a gender reveal party!!💙
It turned out so great to have everyone there ❤️
Omgosh he's gorgeous! Almost as beautiful as my son & only child Brian. After 9 miscarriages! God bless you all and many prayers 🙏🏻 Nurse Judi in Scottsdale AZ and Eucharistic Minister ❤️ ✝️💕✨️🌙🙏🏻✨️💕✨️💕
Thank you ❤️ What a blessing after so many losses.
Beautiful birth❤ I am so happy for you and yours.
Thank you so much!!
All 4 of my labors, I vomited when I went into transition. You're amazing! Beautiful baby 💙
I have a Christian James, and a Matthew James. James was my Chickasaw grandma's maiden last name.
It’s crazy how it just hits all of a sudden.
Your husband doesn't seem very helpful!
Maybe for a woman who needs to be fussed over, but I hate fussing. My only direction to him was to apply hip pressure when I asked, and to hold me during pushing. He was perfect.
Beautiful!
Congratulations!! So happy for you!
Thank you ❤️
