- Meg’s in the kitchen today preserving various things - first, getting some beef brisket into a brine for next weeks’ Corned Beef. And then preserving all the beautiful chard we harvested from the greenhouse. If we don’t eat it all first.

Baby and you come first. We will still be here, no worries ❤
No truer word! I’m in for as long as you post. Take care of yourself Meg! ❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹
Ditto
Just happy to see what you post when you can. Life comes first.
Okay, take care of yourselves. Will miss you but completely understand.
❤❤❤😊
Meg, you do what you need to and take care of yourself and baby. We’ll watch anything you put up on you tube. I hope Ben will continue to film document your build as he had planned,even if he doesn’t post it. I know those young men and Buggy help a lot. Thank you for the peek into your life. You inspire us.
You can find out more about the build by watching the Homestead Shoptalk videos. The 3 guys talk more in depth about what they have going on.
I have learned so much from you, Meg, but especially the life you live as an example, is an encouragement to me. The way you work with your children and the care you take of every little thing is such a blessing to me and, I'm sure ,others. Love from Canada
The belly on the counter.
Priceless. Motherhood is so amazing.
Your family is more important than TH-cam. I am a nurse and I did notice you look a bit pale is your iron low?? Low iron does sap your energy. I’m playing hooky I have been digging out raspberry plants, what a pain, literally, I have stickers in my hands. Get some rest plz, baby time will arrive quicker than you think and that is more tiring, as you know. I’m a mom of 6 so I speak from experience.
I've noticed Meg's paleness also. BE CAREFUL MEG. And you looked drained around your eyes as well. growing a baby is work on top of all you do
To add to this, if you are wanting to eat things like chard it could be a sign of iron levels being low, if your wanting to eat something eat it your body is telling you to for a reason
Agree, the eyes tell it. Rest Meg❤
Meg, I stopped boiling corned beef...now I bake the corned beef...wow, the taste is still great, tender and flavorful. The switch was because when we lived in Lake Placid many moons ago, we lost electricity and had to use our wood stove for our meals...from that point on, I bake the corned beef with usual sides of potatoes, carrots and home made sweet & sour cabbage...I still add a can of Guiness as required by cannon from my Grandmother. Appetizers are Lobster Egg Rolls with a Beer Mustard Dip...Dessert is usually Apple Pie w/ Vanilla Ice Cream. Cheers from Maine.
I roast my corned beef too. Hello from Alabama, transplanted from South Portland!
B R E A T H E my dear . I for one, feel very blessed to have been a part of your lives for all these years. The family has a LOT of its plate right now, so take the time you need. Such stress to please us is not healthy for any of you right now.
We ❤ all of you & want you healthy 💖💖
👵🏻👩🌾❣️
Don’t have another thought about how your regular voyeurs think about how often you share your world. I for one enjoy and get inspired by your posts, but family first. Wishing, as always, love and joy to your family at this time. Ben will do an amazing job on the extension with his band of merry men and maid Marion. Look forward to any content that comes our way.🙏❤️🇦🇺
Love your comment 😂🤣.
We will be more than happy to wait.
It’s always worth waiting for 👍👍
Love the' maid Marion' bit. We all know who that wonderful person is.
My sentiments precisely! I will just add God blessyou all!❤
Should always look after yourself first. You do what you need to, to stay healthy. I’ll look forward to those two videos as usual. Love to all the family
We totally understand the need to cut back. Just take care of you and the rest of the family.
I love ALL The Hollar Homestead videos!
100% me too
Amen!! Amazing family that is making simplicity look real and beautiful.
Been watching ya'll since your journey to NC. Long enough to know you are good folks. Mama, take care of yourself and know that your real fans will be here for you. Thanks for all the content and God Bless my favorite youtube family.😊
We are praying for you all.Take care of you and your baby. Dont worry about filming. You're growing a person that takes a lot of energy, and im sure you're ready to be in the nesting stage.
I will certainly miss your frequent videos, but I want you to take care of yourself and your family first before before extra videos. I am grateful for all that you post and look forward to whatever treasured film you post online.Take good care🌹☘️🌹
Take care of yourself and baby. Can't wait for baby to get here. Sending love ❤and hugs ❤️
We miss yall but yall got to take care of yall first love wayching
It's good to know that viewers get concerned about your well-being.
We have been spoiled by so many videos. The eating at the Hollar Homestead is 5 ✴✴✴✴✴.
Folks should go to Your playlist and start with year 1. Still working my way through it. The boys are so little and love how hard they try to help.. It is like watching a new series.
I have binged the Whole Lotta Hollars twice. The best content on TH-cam by far. Epic Journey of one terrific family. 10/10 will binge again.
Good morning.
Family comes first.
I'll miss watching 5 days. I'm so greatful for 2 days. GOD BLESS YOU. TIME TO NEST AND PREPARE FOR YOU AND HOME.
GREENS WERE SO COLORFUL. I COULD TASTE THEM. THA KS FOR THE MOUTHFULS.
LOVE, PRAYING ❤🎉 WITH YOU.🎉
SE MICHIGAN ❤
2:10 I remember my mother saying "a pint is a pound the world around" (thus, one cup = 1/2 pound). Always seems to work out right for sugar, salt, and so on. 🌻
whats a spoon?
In the UK I was brought up with 'a pint of water weighs a pound and a quarter ' because our pints have 20 fluid ounces vs US 16floz.
You just do you❤❤❤
I honor your choices! Focus on building, both the family and the home. 👍👍
Thanks so much for the shoutout for Freeze Fresh! I really appreciate it! 🥰🥰
Meg and Ben, Take the time you need to build and prepare for the baby. P.S. I love chard!
Healthy family comes first!!! Thank you for sharing your family and homestead as you can. And introducing the perpetual chard! New one for me, ordering some today! Blessings on the Hollar Family Homestead!🌻🐛Carolyn in Ohio ❤
Twice a week will be delightful. 'Keep 'em wanting more', right? :) Ya'll are loved. Wishing you all the best with baby, building and everything!
I will be praying for you my little peace of mind for you to have a easy delivery Ben you are in charge keep the fort down blessings for the family
I am glad you are taking care of yourself during this time. I'm surprised one of the boys hasn't tried to take over the editing, they are so good at everything they do thanks to the teachers they have in you.
You and Ben need to take care of yourselves and your family and do what you got to do to make it work
Thanks for updating us. You need to care for you and the wee one first. Problem is, you ‘ve spoiled us and withdrawals are likely to happen. lol ! We’ll get through it of course. Take care and God bless you and the family.
Just me and the sugar bowl! Right Buggy! Lol
As long as you don't leave us. You do what is best for your family.
Amen to this!
I’ll take whatever of the videos you are up to editing. You take care of you and the family. Love you all and have enjoyed watching you but you need your rest also! Love watching you in the kitchen and all your knowledge. Love ya! Have a great day all!
Hi Meg and Ben! An easy video idea for postpartum that would be interesting to all us nosy foodies would be tours of your food storage, aka what's in the fridge or freezer/pantry or dinners for a week. Love the food content!
Meg, always the rockstar!!!
I love corned venison. I've been corning meat for decades. I mix all the salt sugar and spices up and coat the meat dry, stick it all in a zip lock and turn daily for 10-14 days. The meat makes it's own juice and turns out everytime.
Do you rinse the meat before boiling or roasting it? Are your measurements similar to Meg’s? 😊 thanks
@@belieftransformation yeah, I rinse before cooking. I mix 1 T salt to 1/4 c brown sugar per pound of meat. I also like to add mustard seed and basil to the spice mix.
Your chard is so pretty.
Take care of yourselves!! Life is life, my friends!!! Cannot wait to see the new addition to home and the arrival of a sweet baby!!!
Meg, I love that you acknowledge the places where you get your inspirations and instructions! Take your time with videos. You all have a LOT going on. We will be here.
I love days in the kitchen. Take care ❤️🙏😘
God bless you all! 2 days a week is plenty good. Please be careful not to over do things! 😊
You should do whatever is best for family. I am often personally to busy to watch the subscribed videos when they are posted. You post when can and viewers will watch when they have time.
I love you all so much! We will all be here with bells on whenever you post! Hugs to you all!!!
Family comes first. Do what needs to be done. Enjoy your nesting months. Best Wishes ❤
I’m glad you are putting the baby’s and your health above the videos. Family is most important.
You and your family are THE most important thing. Make sure you are giving yourself space to breathe. Love your videos, we have been so inspired by your journey.
You prepare as needed for your new little one. Your health and your family comes first. You know that old saying, “Absence makes the heart grow fonder!” So we will miss your frequent videos but will love you more for it!
Meg and Ben, we love y’all so much 💜! Just rest and relax and we’ll be here when y’all are ready!
It's a new season of life for you! Taking care of yourself is important. And the family needs are important. Get your rest while you can. We will still be here as the videos come out.❤
Appreciate the warning about the schedule change - because, like everyone else, I get concerned when we don’t hear from you for a while. Please just take care of yourself and your family and don’t worry about anything else.❤️
So glad you shared the update, so I am not worrying when I don't see your videos coming up. So excited about the new baby 👶 🙏
Is that the perpetual chard that you harvested from the greenhouse? Yay, you are corning your own beef brisket. That's so neat to hear! The recipe for the brine is much appreciated. Thanks for the heads up about Tuesday and Thursday posting of videos! I agree that you both have sooo much to do before the new baby comes! I so understand! So glad you got the greens steamed! It was fun to watch you do this and Jack and you enjoying sampling them. Ben liked them too! I hope some of them get to the freezer! Thanks for this video Hollar family!
You do what’s best for your family we will continue supporting you guys
Aww girl , you guys do whatever you need to do , we will be here , I think I can speak for most folk when I say your health and family come first , love to all of you and this wonderful community you have built!
All the best Jules 😘💕
Fully understand i'll still be here when you do post.
Looking forward to the new baby. Take care. ❤
I think you should do what ever you want with filming. You and baby and family come first. Get rest and enjoy your time before baby arrives and I know just how much work you have got to prep before the little one comes. Love your videos and have a blessed Easter Meg, Ben and family. Greetings from the UK.
Two days a week is good. I hope everything is going well for you and your family. This is such a special time that is so precious for your little family. We understand that sometimes you have to savor these special times alone, just the 8 of you.
That sounds good, we will all miss seeing you all as much as we do. We all completely understand, God bless each of you. Take care of each other.
That is wisdom from an experienced mum. Go for it. God Bless. 😄♥️😌👍
Meg, I don’t know how you get everything done on your homestead. You amaze me watching all you do. Absolutely love your cooking videos. So interesting to me. Take care and don’t exhaust yourself before this new little nugget gets here.
Thanks for sharing what you do! Life is crazy for us all! Enjoy the end of your pregnancy 😊
Meg, you are number one, so we all understand , don’t make yourself ill because you come first, and it will be something to look forward to, and like your family, we will look forward to seeing the new member of the family. ❤️🇬🇧🙏
Ben, don't be having those melt downs on Meg, I know it wasn't buggy she's to mature. Lol
You guys do what you must. Meg take care of you and that baby. I'll miss but I be here when you post. Great video.
Blessings on you for making you and your family the priority.
You take care of you. Love to you all.
We pray for all you Hollars every day. 😍🙏🕊❤️
Take your time dear girl , you are always so busy and now with the baby coming I can see you're tired too much for you , praying for a healthy baby and great delivery for you as well as the new baby God bless you hubby and the whole family I love your show S.C. Delia Flecha
Lol- I have that metal steamer basket! I think I’ve lost a petal. Good you are taking time for yourselves. I hear a good nap is helpful!
Take your time and take care of yourself, will be looking forward to seeing your next video when time and life permits ❤
I totally understand cutting down on videos. I don't think most viewers realize how much work it actually is to vlog. Especially when you've got so much going on on top of it all. You guys are awesome and you guys and Sow the land are my favorite homesteaders and the only two I watch faithfully because y'all are real and down to earth people 💖
Weather is shocking for work of late.. respect to you if you managed 1 video a week ..think everyone wants things to run as smoothly as possible for you with everything ahead. It's time to focus on the additions folks! Much love and respect to you all.
You do what you need to do sweetie. I was also told that you could drill holes in those tree roots with a drill and then fill the holes up with epsom salts it helps to rot the wood faster.
Do what you can. We will pray for you guys & the new little one. Blessings, blessings to you & your family. ❤🎉
Hi..... Meg and Ben thanks you for showing your video homestead bye
Enjoy this special season of your life. It goes by so quickly. Take care and know that we will be here whenever you post. ❤
We all love your videos and your family. Y’all are in His hand and He gives you wisdom. You do what is best for you. Take good care of yourselves.
I was watching this totally thinking that baby bump looks way different than it did in the last few videos, hoping you didn't overdo it in the tunnel the other day. So I am happy to hear you will be slowing down and nesting as you should ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Looking forward to getting to see the new baby, get rest and get ready for the new baby, wonder if it will be another daughter or another son, doesn’t matter, just healthy, I bet Buggy is excited to be a big sister! The new building addition will be such a wonderful thing to have, I know it will be awesome to have lots more space!
you do whats nessasary. I will wait and you just do what you need to do and I will watch what you upload and be happy. Cant wait to see the baby soon. and the build added. love from Denmark
Family comes first!!! Take it easy, rest, and prepare! Nancy from Nebraska
So glad you are taking care of yourself; you will be missed. 😊
LOL! Think you are gonna need bigger pots for your crew! Sending prayer and good wishing for your new baby! Take care of yourself and relax when you can!
Take care of yourself Meg. We love y'all and want you to be healthy and happy. Don't worry about us. We'll be here.
Thanks for your great videos! Please do what you need for your family. God bless!
We all love your family and your video's.
You take care of you.
You owe us nothing.
I just love watching your videos ❤❤❤
No worries about posting videos!
Live your FULL LIFE! TH-cam family understands. Please take your time.
Your family comes first! Always! Looking forward to seeing your family grow! Prayers always!
The "Freeze Fresh" book is the best. I made nests as well and they are so convenient. Happy to hear you are pulling back during this very special season in your lives. I will miss you but the joy for you so out weighs it. Happy nesting! PS: Something for Ben. A technique of propagating trees called Air Layering. Lead Farmer 73. Fascinating. Thought of you right away.
Good to provide time for you and baby as well as more time for Ben to build the addition. I’ll look forward to seeing it all. ❤
I'm GLAD to hear that you're cutting back a bit! It's time to get that nest ready and you need some rest. I've been thinking that you've been doing too much for a little while now. You have looked more tired lately. Growing a human takes a lot of energy. It's good to hear that you're prioritizing yourselves. That comes first before making videos. Given how quickly Buggy came you definitely are going to need to make sure you're ready for this next little bundle. Nest away my dear and enjoy the process. I hope Ben has his catcher's mitt ready for this one! 🙂
Morning from STH. Australia, ❤
I admire that you all know when you need a little break. I look forward to another little buggy in the picture in a few months. Take care of yourself! See ya'll on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
I bought Crystal’s book last year. It’s a great book for folks that cook from scratch!
In the UK we call it perpetual spinach, the thing that I noticed about it, is that it does not grow as vigorously during the winter as the Chard, but the snails leave it mostly alone. Unlike the Chard, which they appear to consider a delicacy, and never a leaf appears in the kitchen that it does not look like a colander.
Totally understand 👍🫶 You're taking care of family, I think it's beautiful. Sending love and light. 🫶
I would bet that little whosits was happy to have all those green leafy vitamins and minerals!
Do what your family needs to prepare for your beautiful baby and you need to take care of “The Momma” ❤️❤️❤️
Take care of yourself and family. Your true fans will be here wishing you the best.
