Love how you let all the kids participate. Sometimes it’s much easier and faster to just do it yourself. How are they going to learn if they don’t get that experience.
Yes, I agree hanging laundry is very therapeutic and makes me feel so earthy, I did not part with my dryer though. Mom of 8 here, some days I need easy. Beautiful family . God bless your family.
There's something so satisfying hanging laundry outside in the God's sunshine. Whenever I finish a quilt, it goes into the washier with vinegar and then out on the line. Besides looking so pretty flapping in the breeze, it smells like heaven when I bring it in. Then it gets donated to a child in the hospital or a special needs child. May God bless you and your family.
First time watcher but I was impressed and thoroughly enjoyed your video. I subscribed so I can continue to follow your homesteading adventures. God bless you’ll.
Some of my favorite memories are of me and my 4 siblings gathered into a circle and shucking corn. My mom usually bought 100-200 ears every summer to freeze on and off the cob.
I really enjoy your videos! I can see that you work so hard but I’m sure it’s all worth it! You are so amazing! Love seeing your pantry with all the goodies! Your children are very blessed to have a mother that cooks and preserves all that wonderful food and then they can all eat good and healthy! God bless
Wonderful day in your home all family together and your lovely kids are helping you and having fun doing art and playing in the garden , And you are a great mother with very good wisdom and knowledge looking after your all family , happy and healthy and safe . God bless you very good family .
I love to hang laundry as well! 🙌🌻 Those mini pools come is so handy for lots of things.... Our ducks especially loved to play in ours. I cannot seem to grow carrots! Thankfully my daughter can on her property. 😉 Thanks for sharing 🙂
I don’t know if you’ve discovered this trick yet in taking kernels off the cob but this is what I do. Take your biggest bowl and turn a small bowl upside down in it. Take an ear of corn and stand it on the small bowl. Then with an electric knife, trim the kernels off the cob. It reduces the time in a major way. I can cut kernels off of a bushels worth of corn in about 10-15 minutes. Best wishes and happy canning!
Hanging laundry is better for the clothes than the electric dryer. I always wondered why my grandma clothes looked so good. Hand washed, soaked and hang dry.
Hi there. I just did my first batch of corn. My ‘book’ says to blanche the cobs before cutting off the kernels but I noticed you and someone else I watch just washed and cut kernels off. Do you know what the benefit is to blanche them? Just seems like an extra step - given the qty needed. TIA
I tried to pressure can dried beans and when I opened a jar a few days later, they smelled awful! So that apparently was not a success. Hopefully when I can some corn, it'll work better.
I have to do a minimum of two loads every day, rain or shine. If not I get backed up. If we do 2 it seems to keep everything moving along. On really sunny days I try to do as much as I can.

Your comment made me smile. I hope the joy your quilts bring to others comes back to you 10 fold.
That’s awesome! May God richly bless you!

I also love hanging laundry outside

I have the ball canning book so I will look that recipe for corn relish up. Thanks for the tip 👍
Thank you for sharing. I didn't know there was a tool like that for corn. Fantastic. Have a great day xxoo
Thanks

Is your water you put in corn jars hot or cold??
Straight from the tap

I use an electric knife and a bunt pan !! Blanch corn then place on pan and let kernals fall into pan and then freeze
Hi so you don’t need to blanch the corn? If not do you need to boil the corn when you open the jar when ready to eat?
sweet corn is one of our fav veggies
I tried to pressure can dried beans and when I opened a jar a few days later, they smelled awful! So that apparently was not a success. Hopefully when I can some corn, it'll work better.
Many thanks for your videos. Do you pour hot water or cold water over corn?
Best practice is hot water.
Hi, I just put up my clothes line but my clothes seem to be rough. Any suggestions on how to fix this? I enjoy your videos very much.
They definitely dry stiffer without an electric dryer. Ironing helps. Drying outside in the wind helps too.
With 7 children how do you keep up with laundry when you hang dry? I'd love to do this, but with 6 children I feel like I'd never have it all done 😊
I have to do a minimum of two loads every day, rain or shine. If not I get backed up. If we do 2 it seems to keep everything moving along. On really sunny days I try to do as much as I can.
What pressure canner do you recommend for a newbie? I have a water bath canner but have never pressure canned.
I just have a basic Presto that holds 7 quarts
Boy this video went by fast !
My corn turned dark. Don't know what I did wrong?
I love to hang clothes on line. I like to preserve corn in freezer. Like to cook and remove from cob and freeze. The art projects are pretty cool!
Do your chickens not free range your entire property?
No, they have a large fenced in run to roam.

Could you link the tool for the corn please? I'd love to get one.
It's a Pampered Chef corn tool. They are out of stock on Amazon, but if you went to the Pampered Chef site I bet they have them there.
