I guess it would be easy to fit eight people in that room. I would like to know how people put four kids in a tiny tiny room.

Wow, thank you for sharing this video. This happened to my 21-month-old daughter - for her it was gradual, she was passing out daily for over a month (we were told it was normal toddler behavior but then a God-sent doctor that noticed her pale/yellow color and did bloodwork). She received 2 transfusions and is now fully recovered. I had a similar prayer as you did, before all of this happened. God promises to use our suffering for good, and I saw His goodness through it all - like you did. Praise the Lord!

Those words are so powerful!! Love letting the girls learn to cultivate a gospel home

Beautiful Christmas decorations!

Congrats to you and your family, April! I get so much inspiration from your channel as a new SAHM of one. I heard about your channel from one of your sisters in AZ who we go to church with. God bless!

Congratulations and God bless! Wish you an easy pregnancy enjoyable pregnancy!

April this brings me so much joy!! Congratulations!! May god continue to bless you and your family. My family and I really enjoy your videos! ❤

Thank you so much, April for your videos! I deeply appreciate how Christ-centered every single one of your videos are. Also I have learned so much from you and your walk with the Lord for mothering and birthing. I have been so motivated to lean into the Lord more than ever in parenting my little ones and in all of life after hearing you talk about your experiences and I am so drawn to the Lord and His goodness after watching your videos. Wow you all have been through so many deep, deep , hard and wonderful experiences with the Lord. Thank-you for sharing. God bless you and your family abundantly my sister.

Hey sweet mama. Loved listening to your story and Im so glad everything went well. Blessings to you and your family! 🙏☺️💗💗

I so enjoyed this! A great testimony. Thankyou so much for sharing.

What is your schedule?

April, I’m so inspired to be a better homemaker with your videos. Can you link where you got your pantry containers? I’ve been planning to reorganize my pantry.

🤣🤣🤣

Crap tip

Thank you for sharing your story. Looking forward to hearing more 🙏

Thank you for sharing. Quite hard to listen to such a birth story. Sounds a bit like my learning curve with 6 births, only that your first was much harder. I admire your strength not to ask for a c-section and fighting 5 months to breastfed your baby. Am glad that after all that you've been through God seem to have blessed you with many more healing birth experiences. My first ended up being a totally unexpected and so much disappointing c-section. I never had another epidural (which often leads to an avoidable c-section) even though I wished for it cause I really can't handle pain well. Beside an forced induction with my 2nd I'm thankful to have had only natural birth experiences after that and was always able to breastfeed although not without problems. Yes, the reward is great!

Came here looking for Ideas. Im struggling right now with 3 toddlers in my room. I have no idea where to put their clothes plus mine and my husbands😭

This video started a fruitful conversation with my two older children. We talked about how easy it is for a group of young kids to develop a flirtatious culture and how to identify and not contribute to that. My 12 yr old son told me that when a girl is flirtatious it’s actually “masculine, not feminine… As if she’s trying to be the leader of a relationship.” I thought that was really insightful! Thank you for sharing these thoughts.

Thanks everyone for your comments! 😊❤ Leaving the link to PART 2 here: PART 2 Should Children Have Crushes? | What to Do | Mom of 9 | #christian #parenting th-cam.com/video/H-waydDSlug/w-d-xo.html

Hey sweet mom. Just subscribed. This is great advice and reasoning behind it. It's something I hadn't really thought about. My little one is six years old and I was so blessed by this conversation in preparation when the situation does present itself. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this. 🙏☺️

Great job!!💙🩵💙

Thank you, dear sister! This is such a controversial topic, and this is something I've been discussing with my children. This is definitely something we want to redirect in our children and pray over them about. If you allow them screen time, you will see the horrible things that are being promoted to our babies. The world does encourage child relationships even with older adults and its sickening. This is very harmful to them.

I agree your intention is really good. But, personally, i think it's misguided. I don't think there's anything wrong with having a crush on someone - especially in your younger years: that's what you were designed to do! - as long as you learn to deal with it appropriately. e.g. try to learn not to obsess; to focus on healthy things despite the feelings; not to pursue the feelings, especially if either is attached to someone else. Children and teenagers should not be in relationships?? I don’t necessarily agree with that. Telling your child they *don't* have a crush?? That's just violating their personhood, imo: telling them how they feel. It's one thing saying you can't have something yet. It's another thing: and unnecessary, imo, to say you're not allowed to desire it yet. Crushing is desiring something you're designed to want.

You're intension is really good. Of course in real life as a parent you are the role model for this kind of good behaviour. 😊 So teaching them the good way is our responsibility.

This is such a valuable conversation that contributes to the broader conversation about the beauty of pursuing and building a Christian home intentionally. Choosing a mate is not flippant or silly, as so many pretend. Really appreciate your words on this topic.

Interesting thoughts and I agree. I actually used to be like that from early childhood, always dreaming of someone. Thankfully it was oy one sided but didn't help. Just thought consuming and getting used to be driven by emotions. I definitely don't want it for our daughters who are approaching teen years. Thankfully it wasn't a thing so far and we talk very openly with them about everything. But there's a big influence in that direction from movies and books. Even books that are for 10 years often contain a love story. Unfortunately here in Germany there's not too many good christian literature for kids and even less good movies. And yes I appreciate this kind of videos and that they're short. Thanks!

this way of thinking and rhetoric put me in therapy. this is so harmful.

This is so an interesting conversation, thank you for being open and honest to talk about this!!!

Great informative video - thank you! Keep it up! :)

Uw video' s zijn zo rustgevend! Ik kook zelf al jaren steeds voor 2 dagen. Vaak heb ik de tweede dag een lekkere salade erbij en lekker desert. Het geeft mij meer rust en ben er echt aan gewend. Op vrijdag (Shabbat) kook ik wel uitgebreid en zorg daarvoor mijn huis schoon is. Dit ritme bevalt me goed. Groeten en Gods' zegen, uit Nederland.

9 KIDS??????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Agreed! After 13 years of marriage we just had a major breakthrough by Gods grace. Just by opening up to me, getting rid of bitterness, forgive me..from one day to another my husband saw me with totally new eyes. He now sees I'm beautiful and precious to him and hard working and he makes me compliments and gives me hugs daily, all of which he never did before. We both used to think he's just not that kind of man. This is a huge miracle and happened after praying 9 months for our marriage (each on his own without knowing) and honestly I didnt even have faith it seeemed so hopeless. God also convicted me of having no grace towards my husband, being very critical and not thankful/ encouraging. There was a lot to talk through by the guiding of the Holy Spirit. Now after 6 kids and me in my 40s (not being a perfect beauty by worlds standards btw) we are deeply in love and committed to never let come anything between us again (which is a daily choice). We know of quite some not happy marriages even among believers but now pray for them and have faith that God can restore their marriages too.

It is wonderful to see you homeschooling your family. I went through modern school and they are worse than you could even fathom. Words cannot describe how subversive schools today are. It is good your children will be spared from having to go to them.

Bach is great. Salad is not. 😆

Beautiful and simple. Those gospel conversations lay the foundation for our unity in the Spirit with our children. Thank you for sharing this!

Thank you for sharing your children's beautiful voices lifting up praise to our heavenly Father 🎵♥️🎶✝️

Is that entire area your yard the half acre???

U have cute kids very good mother❤ I’m a single mom of 5

So satisfying to see orderly spaces. 😍 Bryan’s cameo was my favorite part. ☺️ Beautiful blessing at the end!

Thank you for another lovely video 🍫🤫🙂 Prayers and blessings to you and your family as well 💗

Love that this shows the rhythms of daily life continue and you’re not having to put everything else on hold to learn a new skill . So important for the child to listen to their body throughout those daily rhythms. What are signs you look for to know you/your child are ready to potty train?

So in step with all you teach- very peaceful and low stress!

Blessings to you all!

Blessings to you and yours!

What does your husband do for a job?

Being a mom is work! Homemaking honors the Lord...Being at home and caring for your family is the greatest blessing.

Really beautiful, peaceful thoughts here. Love hearing all the ways you honor the Lord on Sundays. Also, “I like to keep the baby on my schedule, whatever that is.” What a radical idea but also most common in most times and places. Thank you for showing how this works!

You speak wise words, my dear sister.

New recipe for taquitos. I love it!
