I haven't even hit play on this video yet, but I just need to say I already love the concept -- based on the title. There is SO much we can do in our homes to scratch cook and provide for our families without homesteading. Sometimes it feels like it's an 'all or nothing' thing. Sometimes it feels like I am 'lesser' than those who own a bunch of land in the country -- because I rent in the city. Or because I don't have a massive garden or chickens and a dairy cow, that I automatically need to buy everything processed at the grocery store. But no! There are SO many things you can still do without a homestead. So many local farmers to support. So many things that can be made from scratch. There is such a happy medium to strike!
Can you do a video on homeschooling the children? I feel like a lot of TH-camrs that don’t show their kids anymore refuse to talk about educational content (which you can do while respecting privacy and not showing the kids) and it’s so unfortunate! 😊
Yes, please! My dounther is 2 and I would love this type of content
I'm pretty sure one of her later videos on her old account is a homeschooling day.
@@lexysmith6566 yes but her oldest is primary school age now and she has more kids.
@@ebbysshe uses the same curriculum we use - which is Memoria Press. If it’s something you’re interest in researching. Memoria Press has a great podcast that really goes over the method and philosophy of Classical Education, which I think is important before committing. The podcast is called Classcial et Cetera and it can be watched here on TH-cam (on the Memoria Press channel). 😊
She only does cooking in the kitchen videos with voice overs.
I have recently said, you need to praise the Lord in the hall until the door opens. I'm so grateful for my little apartment and balcony garden. It's not the garden I want, but it's still great.
I feel like “homesteading”, like being “crunchy” is a spectrum. I have a garden, I cook from scratch, love my sourdough starter (as well as my kombucha mother), buy from local farms, make a lot of my own products (cleaners, sprays, etc.), homeschool my 4 kids and I consider myself a homesteader to the degree that I can be. I also live in the Fraser valley but can’t legally have chickens (thanks local government) but one day I hope to! I don’t think it’s bad to call yourself a homesteader to whatever degree you can be! Maybe we can call ourselves Urban Homesteaders!
Love your videos Sarah! Lots of love from the freshly postpartum mama you randomly met in a grocery store in Abby last year and offered to help me with all my kiddos 🫶🏻
I'd absolutely LOVE it if you could start linking the clothes you're wearing, or even just where you shop for clothes. Also, if your local farm has an online shop? Many do and so many farms offer very different items. I look forward to all your content. I appreciate what you do and what you share so much and am so happy to have you back on TH-cam.
Thanks so much for this. I am mama of five, wannabe homesteader, but definitely not one, renting, and so grateful to keep discovering what I CAN do.
And I cannot believe the lengths some people will go to, to leave a negative comment (below). You are doing a fantastic job, ST! I find myself busy all day and cleaning my kitchen late at night. I have people tell me I need to do less and yada yada, but it all hangs together to make me happily busy and fulfilled. I have a bigger age spread in my kids (15-1), and some real late bedders - but we home school and it’s not a problem if they want to lie in - point being, I just keep chugging along and fit stuff on around the rhythm.
Lots of love and God bless xx
One thing you have that is a luxury and a privilege is access to farmers and a miller. A lot of us started homesteading because we didn't have access so we had to make do ourselves, there's nothing wrong with using what's around you and supporting all the farmers! We small scale farmers appreciate it :)
Most of us live in subdivisions. So you’re much more relatable !! You’re growing where you’re planted. We appreciate that!! Thank you!!🎉🎉🎉Y’all are awesome!!
Gardening and having animals is illegal? I'm so thankful I live in the USA. I couldn't imagine not being allowed to grow my own food.
She said "certain" animals. That's true in most places, even in where I live in a more rural area of Montana. You might be limited from owning certain livestock or a certain quantity per acre. You might be restricted on roosters in the city or any number of animals in an HOA. Or even a garden in a really strict HOA. That's true in America as well. I have a 5 acre homestead but I'm in an HOA. I can only have 3 livestock, 12 birds, and no roosters. Sure, it's more than Sarah can have, but it's still a restriction on "certain" animals.
its just in some places in BC, Ontario ect, The two more progressive places to live. Majority of provinces allow you to garden everywhere , and farm animals out of towns.
Wait I thought that Sarah was in the USA?
@@EllieHawkes she's in canada!
I live in the US and I'm not allowed chickens inside city limits.. there's a few new developments that allow chickens and across the st people can't.. could be a nuisance in many ways
Beautiful ❤so encouraging to see others thankful and content for the season God has them in right now
Sarah, you’ve been such a motivation to me to *finalllly* start my own family TH-cam channel 🥹 thank you for being you, and I hope one day I get to bring the same joy to so many viewers like you do! xo 💛💛
Love this!! There’s so much you can do without having a homestead 🙌 It’s content like this that has shown me how much I can make myself while living in an apartment ❤❤
I Love how your videos speak of gratitude and grace, beautiful!
It amazes me how critical people can be! It is easy to sit home and be unkind.
I appreciate your real content and inspiring attitude.
Thank you for this video and sharing your heart on homemaking vs homesteading. Well said.
Sarah, you have inspired me in so many ways. I thank God for your wisdom.
Don’t you just love green plants as part of your decor? I don’t have knick knacks but I have lots of plants. Your plants look very healthy and you have a good eye for styling them.
Absolutely love having weekly videos to watch from your channel. I hope you are feeling better and doing well, was saddened to hear a few videos back that you were handling a health issue. - Praise God for right where we are, such an important part of our faith and walk with Christ as we go through each season of homemaking. Thank you for sharing part of your life, I adore seeing your recipes, restocks and general schedule. You have been such an encouragement to me over the last several months. 🧡
Such a lovely video. Thank you, Sarah! 💐
The spirit of comparison steals joy.
I have a tower garden from GreenStalk and it’s amazing! I kill plants often, and I started mine on Mother’s Day from seed and I have enough garden greens does salads each day. Had I known it was this easy to use a small, footprint, home garden … I mean I missed out on a decade of gardening
This video has perfect timing. Literally something I've been working through! 💜 I think we tend to think everyone else has "the perfect life" besides ourselves. The grass is always greener where you water it. I look forward to having chickens and goats someday. But for now sourcing quality ingredients and baking from scratch is a step in the right direction 😊
Mmm that pasta meal with the meatballs looks great.
Agreed!!! 😍 I’m going to make a video making them too because YUM
The earth energy from the huge rock by the patio must be incredible.
I love watching your vlogs. I would like to see the rest of your house.
how will you react if your dauggters dont decide on going the road you´ve done? if they dont become a homemaker or a stay-at-home mom?
i love following yor channel, i love doing as much i can myself but i realise i cant do everything especially in my country
i dont agree with you in a lot of ways, but i still find a huge inspiration in your content, and i just have a lot of questiens.
i dont want to disrespects anyone ways of living, i am just genuenily curios and want to expand my horison
Can you make a canning video!? I feel some people make it seem so dangerous but watching you do it looks so easy!
What does canning mean? 🧐
You can make a cheaper electrolyte drink with celtic salt cream of tartar and orange juice that is high in vitamin C.
Local Costco eggs and bacon 😆
Thank you for this video ❤
A great smile, hazel eyes and cute haircut must be essential for great homemaking!
Such a cute comment!
Homemaking and homesteading are entirely different so I have no clue why someone would say that to you. Thats sounds like very confused few people that have come acrossed your page. I dont think anyone else thinks this.
I highly doubt someone actually said that
@@AKM8829 it's like some weird kind of humble brag. "Every thinks I am homesteading cause I make everything from scratch." No nobody thinks that. She did this with her see my mom body isn't perfect I have lose skin when she sits. 😒 Girl please even the girls with the tightest of abs have rolls when they sit. Stop humble bragging. The Lord doesn't like masked brags just like he doesn't like unmasked ones. Honestly he probably likes unmasked ones better cause your not tacking on lying with your lack of modesty. Also very obsessed with postpartum hair loss. Literally no one was judging your baby hairs girl. We can stop talking about them. I'm so glad that phase is over.
I agree, it sounds like maybe she misunderstood or maybe those people were confused. We are a homesteading family but everyone I know (homesteaders or not) know that homesteading and homemaking aren’t synonymous with each other
I think her point is that she can still make good homemade food and household goods without growing those products herself. Many people believe that the only way to truly be “all natural” is to grow everything yourself. For some things that’s true and then for others it’s not. She is aware that homemaking and homesteading are different things but for many people they go hand in hand for their lifestyle. They homemake from what they homestead. She is showing what she accomplishes without growing it all herself. She does a fantastic job! Go mama!
Sad to see you deliberately photoshopping your kids into the thumbnail just so you can blur their faces, especially when one isnt even wearing a shirt. I usually enjoy your content but it has been bothering me since you posted this video and i needed to say something. I had really respected how you protect your kids and blur their faces, but now it feels you are using your "protection" of them as a technique to get more views. Why did they even need to be in the thumbnail - we all would have watched it without it. But editing them in feels weird and gimmiky.
This isn’t a day in the life… it’s a just another day of cooking breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Did you make your blue overalls/romper/dress? It’s super cute! If you did-would you mind sharing where/if you got the pattern?
Lots of love from Austria! 🌱
I absolutely LOVE your kitchen and from our Lifestyle and Family we could be twins 🤗
except we arent Christians but Satanists, but also Lots of praying with the Kids 🙏☘️
Is satanism a common thing in austria? It that seems very interesting! Ive got no bias against it and im pretty ignorant to the topic. I just dont believe in supernatural stuff but im open to it. I definitely feel for satan in the bible tho hahaha
Inspirational ❤
I can't understand the hate you receive honestly, sometimes I'm surprised by the comments I read under your videos.
Having said this, do you meal plan? I remember to have seen you say something like this, I'd like to see how you meal plan and how you follow through, because I try every week with so many good intentions and then everything goes wrong I don't know why 😅
Have a nice weekend
Honest question. Why is gardening illegal in Canada, or is that just based on where you live?
It's definitely based on her specific living situation.
It’s not illegal 🤦🏼 The HOA where she lives has rules about gardening in communal areas. She. COULD have pots on her deck but seems to choose not too
@@staceyowenswellness Thanks for the response. I live in the states and truly did not know.
@@cal59281 Thank you. My question was based on the way she said that it was illegal. It seemed odd because I couldn't imagine that it was illegal to garden in Canada but I live in the states so I really didn't know.
Would really like a link of where you get your organic flour. I'm in BC too. Our neighborhood strata rules say no clotheslines!
I wish I was!! I struggle where to get good ingredients in the states
SAUERKRAUT QUESTION
Have you changed your cabbage-to-salt ratio for your sauerkraut recipe? Literally less than 48 hours ago I followed the directions you gave in your canning video, in which you suggested using 2 tsp of salt for every pound of cabbage, however now you're suggesting 2 tsp of salt for every kg of cabbage.
Since a pound is only about 0.45 kg, that's a big discrepancy - do you find it works just as well with approximately half the salt that you used to use?
I'm genuinely confused why having a garden is illegal. Why do they consider it a bad thing to grow your own food? I'm asking as someone who lives pretty much directly below you in Washington state and while we are certainly in different countries with different laws/mandates, I have never heard of not being allowed to have a garden. In our neighborhoods in most places, we are allowed up to 4 hens (no roosters but people still sometimes keep theirs and no one really minds) and can grow pretty much whatever we want without permission. Unless you share a yard within a complex then there should be no reason to make gardening illegal.
Because she doesn't have a garden. She isn't allowed to plant anything in the common area of her apartment complex, like if these is a strip of grass near the dumpers or driveway. Understandable. She is allowed to plant veggies on her own balcony but chooses not to.
She’s dramatically using the word illegal. There’s no law about it, just HOA rules
@@lydias2980 She lives in a house, though. That's why I'm confused about it. If it was an apartment or a condo, I would totally understand.
@@ktcat146 townhouse complex
In the thumbnail of this video you literally photoshopped your children in so that you could blur their faces. So much for protecting their privacy.
Christians family youtubers are the worst
Not only that but little Ed isn’t wearing a shirt! Completely hypocritical 😮
Had to go back to the thumbnail and see it. Yucky… wth.
What do you do with your compost once your bucket is full?
This is awkward to say, and I'm sure no one else saw it this way, but your husband's shorts kind of blend into his skin tone and when the thumbnail is that small.. well.. 😅😂
Gardening and having animals is illegal?? WHAT??!?! Where do you live?! OMG I thought you were in Canada....
It’s illegal at all, it’s her HOA rules for the complex where she lives
Why would you PHOTOSHOP Your kids into the thumbnail, and then cover their faces anyway? And one doesn't even have a shirt on? This is awful.
What paint color is in the dining room?
Is this the Canadian way to say produce & bagel?
Yes, like there’s two Gs and it’s a closed syllable. I’ve noticed certain areas say it that way.
May our Lord Jesus Christ bless you , your husband and your little ones .
next time its better just to split this kinda huge plant
💜💜💜💜💜
Why did you Photoshop your kids into the thumbnail just to then scribble out their faces? Seems a bit performative
Wow that’s so observant of you and such a great point. I plan on making a video this week about the weird trend of not showing your kids in this dysfunctional manner.
You mean showing her family without exposing their faces. There is nothing wrong with it. Seriously. Her kids, her channel, her decision on how she makes her videos and thumbnails.
Does it matter?
God dumb waste of time that I had to read that stupid comment
Why do the kids get blurred but still shown.. what exactly is the point of that to begin with? And if there was a point, wouldnt they not be shown at all? Im so confused and this seems like a weird misplaced virtue signaling by many christian mom influencers.
It makes perfect sense to me
Where on earth do you live that it's illegal to garden? Sounds like some communism
No one has said that to you. Don’t lie
Literally all of your comments are bitter. Why? Honestly, why waste your time? What is it exactly you hope to achieve? These are genuine questions. Thanks
Baby why are you so bitter? Go get help instead of wasting time here love. You might actually gain some joy.
@@shaunteewillis3925 lol why do you care?
@@aqqibabs Because Sarah is a narcissistic liar. One should remove the mask of such people for the sake of others. Especially moms who can not achieve things Sarah does because they work or , hear me out, their husbands work away from home, for the sake of money. Dear moms, you do not have to make sourdough 500 times a week, you are great just the way you are!!! Peace and love
@@marronmargarite8893you cannot diagnose mental disorders (narcissism) online. Gross comment.
And with your obsession about control and clean freakness you are not cut out for homesteading
Can you just go away? Spreading negativity is not the moves. If your life is this miserable, get off social media and get some help.
@@annalynngriffin7730 lol. Just because I have a different opinion than y’all…sweetheart…bless your heart
@@annalynngriffin7730 It's not negativity. Homesteading is generally messy and super unpredictable.
This is why my husband is the one who gardens and I do NOTHING except cook and eat the produce! I’m not a hands in the dirt type person. I hate bugs. 🤷🏽♀️ I tell him I cook and clean the inside of the house and he does all the maintenance and chores outside the house.
