Hi Stephanie… We are a homeschooling family who’s considering relocation to the Netherlands. I wanted to ask if homeschooling is common over there? And also if intentional parenting is common over there? For example if a scene like you saw at the restaurant is a rare thing or if it’s normal?

I do a lot of Baking & enjoy it! At one my husband’s past places of employment, I sold some baked to his coworkers. I have been praying about being able to sell some of baked goods. Exactly what it looks like for me/how The Lord wants me to do it!

I enjoy your videos. I wish it were so easy for every mom to make even a small income. Living in the country where internet isnt great, competition at farmers market is high, having no money to invest in tools and courses, and having little skills since I didnt finish college, I've yet to find a way to make anything work for any income for my large family.

I'm going to add telling to that list. I started going to the Goodwill bins, where clothing is 2.49/lb, and flipping them on Poshmark in December. Since then, I've made almost 75k in profit. Of course, you don't have to go as hard as I do, but with the exception of the occasional trip to Goodwill, it is done 100% from home. USPS even delivers the packing materials to my doorstep and picks up my orders. 10/10 do recommend.

Thank you for this! Finances have been weighing heavy on me these days and honestly…it’s all because of our grocery bills, which is crazy. I didn’t know about budget mom so I will definitely follow her, thank you for the recommendation.

This is very helpful. Its hard to switch from working to now a stay at home mom. I love it, but sometimes hard. I try to find a balance or not to stress if some things don't get done. ❤

I agree with EVERYTHING you said! New subscriber here! As a Mama bear I don’t post my children on social media, nor will I allow them to have a cell until the age of 16 and even then it will be a dumb phone. I’m a SAHM and I homeschool. They do not need a phone unless working a high-school job.

You are a mom who stay at home spending time with her kids instead than go to work every morning?

🙏🙏🙏 years ago when I was a single mom and having to work a full-time job, my boss said the exact same thing about her children… I was mortified because here I was having to work and would cry every day when I had to leave my daughter and I just wanted to be able to be home with her all the time. Now that I’m married with two more and was able to start homeschooling her in middle school, I feel so blessed! I can’t ever imagine feeling like the moms you overheard. It breaks my heart… Children truly are a blessing from the Lord and we as parents only get them for a short time. thank you for loving on your kiddos! Blessings to you and your sweet family!💗💗💗

Thanks for this reminder. I’m thankful I get to be a homemaker! And I get to homeschool- as I prepare for our year to start! ❤

Hi Stephanie! I didn't realize that you live in the Netherlands! May I ask: how do you manage to homeschool the children when it's legally not an option in this country? (We live in NL too, that's why I'm asking😊)

Yes! This is so true. It doesn’t escape me a single day (even the difficult ones where my attitude is lacking 😅) what a blessing it is to be at home with my children.

Yes! We need to change our mindsets! Also we need to remember that what we have is a blessing from the Lord and needs to be cared for well. (I’m talking to myself here also!). Thank you for this video! ❤️

What a beautiful mindset. I definitely need to work on this. Thank you for sharing your knowledge

Perfect day for this to be recommended to me. Having a hard day with my husband and frankly it’s been a hard marriage. I know we need some counseling to help us grow better and this just reaffirmed that for me. Thank you for sharing. I hope some day we can have a strong and loving marriage like you and your husband.

Perfect day for me to hear this! Yesterday I was supervising my son (he is learning to drive) in the car. We finally made it home (Deo gratias) and he said to me, "Mother, I don't want to hurt your feelings, but I think I'd rather just learn from Dad. He screams and panics less." 🤣🤣🤣 Truly our charisms differ. :)

Not a homemaker myself, but I know how important it is to take care of my spouse. Simple things do have a huge impact on the marriage. I feel like our society as whole has been walking a very selfish path and no one wants to do nice things to anyone nowadays and no relationship can survive that way. There’s nothing like the sweet smile I get every time my husband comes home from work and smells the food I made him with so much love. Amazing video, I’ve already subscribed!

Beautiful reminder ❤❤

Mooi! En zo waar!!!

Tip voor je pastasaus voeg een kippenbouillon blokje toe gewoon verkruimelen.. maakt mega verschil! Zag die tip ooit bij jamie Oliver and friends en ik doe het sindsdien als ik zelf pasta saus maak

❤ oh wat lijken we op elkaar.. ben zelf gastouder en heb wel meer dingen beneden kwa speelgoed maar wel georganiseerd en heb dezelfde regels kwa opruimen en de 10 min opruimregel etc.

Dit was echt een prachtige bemoediging ❤ toen ik jou voor het eerst zag op TH-cam voelde ik me gelijk al minder alleen juist omdat jouw huis een beetje lijkt op de mijne ❤ en voel me zo minder alleen door jou!! Ben zo dankbaar ❤

Amen!! ❤

Thank you for inspiration and tips, very valuable for me right now! I have had a big struggle with sleeping in the mornings (till 9am; 10am and even longer) since childhood! Tried so many times to wake up early, but could not sustain the habit! I have decided to not give up on this and this morning I woke up at 6:00am. Last night I was renewing my mind with new thoughts and Bible verses why I want to wake up early and it worked! I had a peaceful morning: 1) started with 30min exercise 2) then shower + getting ready 3) Bible study time + prayer 4) breakfast 5) then walking with my dog for more than an hour! And now I am ready to work for God's business ☺️! I feel so content and more connected with God! Never give up on something you have been struggling for years! You can do ALL things through him who strengthens you!!! P.S. I am opposite to you, my alarm (very peaceful melody) needs to be far away from the bed and I can not go back to bed, because otherwise I would snooze 20 times😴.

I have made this today. We liked it a lot! Definitely a keeper. How many layers did you do?

Thank you for reminding me!!! Blessings upon you

Great things to remember! Love your content and your heart.

My parents never told me about my identity in Christ. My parents were christians, but in their opinion I was what I did. It still is a problem in my relationship with Jesus. So good job you are telling your children who they really are in Christ.

Great video, as always! Thanks for the practical tips & good reminders 🤗

I find your videos so encouraging 🙂 We love a dance 💃 in the kitchen too! Thanks for the scripture lullabies idea have not come across them. Rachael 💝

Bedankt voor de inspiratie!! Recept gaan we deze week uitproberen :) . Waar is je jurk van? heel mooi

Great tips, Stephanie!! Especially loved the point about putting some things on the shelf in a box and rotating them instead of having them all out at once!

I hate having all my meals planned in advance, just like I would hate having all my outfits planned in advance. So what I tried on vacation with my fiancé (we don't live together) was : 1° evaluate how many lunches and how many dinners I would have to cook 2° make a list of the dishes I wanted to cook over the two weeks we were going to spend together 3° write next to each dish if it was for dinner or for lunch 4° write next to each dish how many meals it would last (most recipes are for 4-8 people) 5° buy all the ingredients needed for those dishes 6° be prepared for a change of plans. It worked wonderfully :)

As a German I really love to have finally found a great european channel about homemaking ☺️ Somehow it makes me feel even more connected... The problem about the bathroom... I can relate a lot 😅

De Smakelijck website van Williene is top voor leuke baksels maar dan net wat gezonder. Ze doet veel met kokossuiker en dat is ook te vervangen voor rapadura/oersuiker.

That lasagna looks delicious! And unique with the white sauce layers instead of cheese. I made a couple lasagnas yesterday for the freezer! I hope you all enjoy the extra family time with you husband on holiday!

Hey hey ✝️🤗💕 bathrooms for me today too lol

No cheese in the inbetween layers?

We have a laundry collector that is sepparated in 3 parts. So everything is pre-sorted already and I just have to take a quick look over it when I put it in the washing machine - game changer 😊

Why tho??? ❤
