I bought them
Thanks Melissa, just ordered a pair
I hope you can look into a Big Barker bed for your dog. U.S. made and they are good quality. Made for older dogs. 🐶❤️
You know it’s going to be good when the kids are standing around the counter waiting for mom to cut the fresh bread.
That's one thing that I'm glad I did over the years was teaching the kids just about everything I know. They're adults now and usually do a good job coming up with solutions for problems and are a bit of a rock star among their friends for their abilities and knowledge.
Yea Ron, and his kids! Good job!
i agree totaly.. i taught my sons howto cook ,like my grand ma taught me..i` helped them set up a small pop up food stand at events and fairs..now they have there own catering business that works along hand in hand with mine and my wifes food truck and soon to restuarant
Way to go DAD teaching your kids so many things and especially logic. Most parents these days don't do that and I was lucky my dad taught me a lot of things about camping, fishing, chores and my other SEVEN siblings rarely participated. I still have fishing skills too that dad taught me and my husband said give me your pole and I will put the worm on it...I said NO I do my own thank you LOLOL His jaw dropped. DAD'S ARE GREAT TEACHERS for sure. God Bless you.
Same. It does feel amazing to raise self-sufficient critical thinkers capable of protecting and defending themselves and those around them. Kudos to you!
Melissa, I stood by my momma every summer and fall and canned up to 600 quarts of food every season. Our dad included us in projects. Baking bread and rolls were always a special treats. Thanks for bringing those special memories back!💚💛
Love that your senior dog has his place in the house by the wood stove, He has earned this spot!!! Aloha
I love that we always see him in every video! I know he's a happy n content doggie. I know his name lol but no idea how to spell it, so I won't attempt! Lol
It's awesome to see you teaching your family to build and detail work..they won't be calling repair men to fix stuff they're now DIYers
I taught my two children how to do preventative maintenance on their cars (oil changes, cabin and engine air filters, changing a tire, etc) and the importance of doing it when needed. Getting kids involved with these things are good life lessons. Be well!
Amen!!
My dad taught us all the same things.I remember him saying that there's no sense knowing how o drive if you don't know where to put the water, oil and petrol 🇨🇮☘️

Mechanics daughter here..and I thank him everyday for teaching me. At 51 (me) and 74 (dad) we still work on cars together. Now I am teaching my daughter the same 😁
Your family makes Saturday mornings my favorite of all!! I only wish the videos lasted longer😔. You inspire us to be better humans, better parents, to live healthier and to chase our dreams. Starting a homestead and building your dream home seems like such an ominous task especially when u start with nothing but a dream. But you’ve shown us that anything is possible with hard work and a loving family. Each of you have made sacrifices to have your life now but the rewards outweigh the sacrifices by far. Thank you so very much for including us in this process and for allowing me the joy of knowing and loving your family dearly. Each of you are very dear to my heart and always in my prayers 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
Thank you ❤️
So beautifully said❤❤❤
Sometimes you can only get a few things done in the day, but you have made progress. Count your blessings and have a good week amen
I surprisingly became quite emotional when the kids were helping with the tile project….making memories for sure.
Parenting is never easy and we all have regrets but at the end of the day, our children are healthy and safe. You guys do an awesome job so give yourself a break, love, and peace❤❤
Everyone has a "TO DO" list. Great that you are getting some things marked off. Your home is so pretty and you have done a great job.. The kids were so much smaller when you started, but now that they are getting bigger, it is a great time to start teaching them some skills. Those will come in handy when you start the garage and apartment build. I bet they will be very happy to get in and help. Everything you learn as a kid comes in handy in the future. My father insisted we learn how do do things and 70 years later I still rely on a lot of those skills. Stay warm!!! Spring will be here before you know along with yet another list and the mud!!! God bless all of you. Looking forward to your next video.. The bread is so good. I made it when you posted it before,, now need to make it again.
Thank you so much 💓 God bless 💓
I love that you get the kids involved in the process. You are teaching them skills that are not learned in a classroom. Good job!!!
You can use a spring rod and shower Curtain until the FRAMELESS enclosure arrives . I love your videos
I'm tempted but afraid to damage the cabinet
Surprised you didn't Install a handheld device in your shower. So easy to use for many things, I clouding washing dogs and the shower itself.
your kids are going to know a bit of everything. love how you let them do their bit. no regrets you have built them a beautiful home.
North Idaho doesn't give up winter easily or early. It's still the best place on earth.
You guys should have no regrets when it comes to your family..you have done an amazing job of accomplishing this huge feat while prioritizing family time when at all feasible. I am sure that was not lost on your kids. As they get older and are able to participate more they can - you have so many more projects planned there will be opportunities that are commensurate with their age, ability and interests. They were there and witnessed the journey - sometimes they participated, but they were always aware. The loving spirit and the humor were constants, through pressure filled moments and the unavoidable stress that is intrinsic to such a huge undertaking ... lessons learned from witnessing this interaction are priceless. Pat yourselves on the back.
Love how you are teaching your children not only academics but also life skills they will be able to use the rest of their lives!
Nice! Teaching real skills. Don't beat yourself up Jeremy. Your family is very appreciative of all the hard work you guys put in to give them a home.
❤️
You've still have the garage apartment to build and what a blessing that you can share that project with the family on a smaller level, Amen!
You guys do an amazing job on making sure they are well rounded. Don’t be to hard on yourself Jeremy about not letting the kids help with the big house build. You can have them help out with the garage build, same concept just a smaller build that is not so much on a time crunch.
Me gustaría saber más de está linda familia he leído que fue papá soltero durante 10 años que pasó a la mamá los niños son hijos de los dos o él era viudo si alguien me lo pude contar gracias y saludos

We've always tried to involve the kids, but it's hard to include them in everything. However, I've never regretted any extra time that a project has taken by including them! Also, there have been many times that the kids have suggested great solutions to problems that we implemented successfully! 😀
I so wait each Saturday for your video to come out and start watching y’all . Your beautiful home is so comfortable and warm looking and I could almost smell the bread cooking. Y’all never cease to amaze me. And as always till the next one
❤️ thank you ❤️
I totally didn't want to workout today... BUT Jeremy's comment on getting his mileage in even after putting in a hard days work motivated me. Thanks to you all!
I just loved this video. The fact that so much didn’t happen, but you were able to turn those lemons into lemonade was so cool! I loved seeing your kids in there working with you. I can’t wait until I can order some ‘This Is My Jam!’
The best thing my elders taught me was *how* to learn. Working with them to grow, preserve, and prepare food including cooking on a wood stove. Building, repair, remaking things was the norm, and I rebuilt a car engine in my teens. During college I designed and made two off grid homes.
My elders taught me how to evaluate sources and how to find mentors. Learned fiber arts, such that I can make clothing from fiber from enthusiasts. Learned languages, by finding teachers and native speakers in the community. Learned biology and permaculture from a formal education setting, skills I now teach to others.
The best part is I passed these skills on to my children using home based education which was illegal when I was school aged. From how I was taught, I learned how to set up adult tasks to work with me by setting the kids up for success in the tasks. That said, it takes time to do the task *and* teach it at the same time.
You can only do so much when you are teaching kids the "building trade". They were not ready for bigger stuff and the risk of injury (and government intervention for child endangerment) was greater. You followed your instincts and your family's abilities (or lack of them) to get the main project done, which was to get a house built. Now, some projects can be done but look at the pumphouse - the weather and some of the building completion aspects still are beyond the capabilities to involve the kids. But consider teaching them how to use smaller tools and involve them in indoor projects. Baking, cooking, canning, and preserving are always skills that should be taught. Don't forget to include them in feeding your livestock. You are doing that so - don't second guess what you "failed" to do, instead plan on how to safely include them in your next project.
I absolutely LOVE that you include your kids in these projects sometimes... that you teach them with love and patience. Growing up, I tried so hard to help my Dad... but mostly I was on clean-up duty. I didn't graduate to actually driving a nail for years... and I gotta tell you, there was a resentment that built up inside from being infantalized for so long. My heart is warmed to know that there are better ways.
I like that you include the kids on the build, it is important that they feel included and learn how much work is involved.
I made your chicken and orzo recipe the other day and it turned out great, did add some red onion, frozen spinach cubes and greek seasoning cause it was for adults not possibly picky kids. Thanks for including some of your family recipes in your videos.
Awesome!!
I remember, my Dad working outside. He let us be kids, running, riding our bikes, and climbing trees. That's what u did with your kids. Have no regrets.
I can’t get over how the house looks even better than I thought it would! By the way, make sure you register Keira’s jam company name with the Trade Mark office be fore someone tries to take it! Put me down for 10 jars of raspberry…😉
Will do!!
Teaching the kids to do building projects will give them confidence later on in life. The house is looking so good!
It was so special seeing your kids working on the pantry together with you. No regrets, you’re raising a beautiful family and every day is fresh new day. We love your videos!!!!❤❤❤
As a beekeeper, I’ll let you in on something. ALL HONEY IS ORGANIC. Only bees can make honey, which makes all honey organic. There’s no such thing as synthetic honey. If it says it’s honey, it’s honey. If it says it’s honey sauce (like KFC) then they have added sugars or molasses, etc to dilute it. DON’T OVERPAY FOR HONEY JUST BECAUSE IT SAYS IT’S ORGANIC. 5:20
Saturday with our favorite family. Let’s go
❤️
Good morning everyone
Give me a piece of that bread please with some butter on it ❤️😋 My Mom used to make the best yeast rolls, when we were kids we used to watch her make them and couldn’t wait for them to come out of the oven she would let us I have one or two with butter on them wile they were hot out of the oven 😊 the rest of them were for supper 😘 she made the best. 😇 but she is in Heaven now and I’ll get her to make some when I get there😊when I saw you making that bread it reminded me of my sweet Mom ❤
Really fun to watch all your many chores of the day! Winter still has a way of trying us all, but we just keep plugging away with what is possible and turn to other things when it isn’t! Great job guys! The bread looks yummy! God’s blessings always guys!
My friend writes a weekly snag list for her husband to do . He loves getting those little things done at the weekend . So organised!
Think it is great you involved the kids. I know it takes longer but thankful my dad did it with me. It allowed me to make my bathroom sink out of a whiskey barrel.
The BOSS has spoken: "Jeramy get back here" LOLOL How cute. Love the shower heads and neat trick on taking that blue thing out of the shower head for sure. You two are such characters and thank you so much for the laughter. I love the way you have always included the kids in doing things GREAT memories for them all. God has Blessed you ALL. Great video for sure and thank YOU.
“Get out of the hole!” And he sings and pops in and out singing 🤣👏🏻👏🏻🤩
Great job teaching the kids! You're such a good Dad Jeremy!💙💙🙏🙏. I know you guys feel guilty about not spending the time with the kids that you wanted, but I guarantee you that those kids are so glad and proud of what you two have accomplished!! I mean, how many kids can say, " my parents built this house and so much more!!! Let alone know how to do all that goes with building a house!!🤗🤗🙏🙏!! You've not only built a house, but you've made a beautiful"Home "!❤️🙏🤗. God bless you all. Love and Hugs for All of You!!🤗🤗❤️❤️🤗🤗❤️❤️🤗🤗❤️❤️.
Thank you Lana ❤️
@@GoodSimpleLiving love you guys!! 🤗🤗🙏🙏
Building a lifetime on your ranch as a family. Putting down good healthy roots that'll be carried forwards for years to come.
Including the kids was wonderful. Even though they weren’t able to do it whilst the “big build” was happening. They really are taking in so much & let’s not forget they were also witness to all the discussions about what worked & what didn’t. They absorbed it all & I’m sure it will help them in the future. Loved Eli in his flight suit. Big loves to y’all ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Love seeing Jeremy teaching all the children tile skills. These children will be thankful when they get older having the skills both of you are teaching them. Well done!
A hard worker .... and a great cook too. Luckey man Jerremy !
wowza you are rocking the parenthood thing, I think you have done an amazing job in teaching your children, and watching you take the time to teach them the tiling in the pantry room was heart warming. I think that your children understand thru the big build that you were focused on getting the home done in a timely manner. I am in awe of your strength as a team, a family team.
Thank you so much 💓
I like it when the kids help with building the house.You never realize how many little things are left to do. You are so blessed to have accomplished such a big project. Beautiful home. Happy family and love.
You guy’s rock as parents. I love the bond that you seam to have with your kids. Great job
In this day and age the more you can teach your kids to do on their own the better off they’ll be in the future and I don’t think yours are going to have any problems, you do such an awesome job of teaching them and making it fun and a family affair sure helps!
I love the fact that your teaching your children! I also love your family's heart and this channel. I look forward to your video's !
I made that bread too with honey love it !
You guys are a great family! You just mentioned the pain I felt for a long time as I didn't involve my kids in any projects for a safety reasons. But I was wrong. They did turned out to be a great with tools seeing me and my wife their whole life. Your kids have a great parents who cares and they have grown up with a great experiences and most importantly, value! Love you guys! Good bless you all!
I'm around a lot of younger Medical workers at this stage of my life that make bad choices for their life partner, many of them from broken homes, and most of them have no skills to repair their cars and their homes. By example you are teaching your kids to make good choices and showing them what is possible with the correct life partner equally yoked. The immense love you have for each other built the house and family. Definitely involve your kids, the house is 99%, life is slowing down a little teach them everything you have needed to get this far in your life. I hope you both understand how truly blessed you both are to be with each other!
We tried to involve our 4 kids in as much as possible in everyday projects, a couple of building projects, and the businesses we owned. They complained some now and then but the effort resulted in them being the amazing people and parents they all are today. Stay warm.
A wonderful visit,with a warm ,tasty finish...a good,well equipped shower..

Good Morning Souza family.☕️🩵
🌬🌧🌨🌩brrrrrr, cold in Utah too. I love that ginormous bread dough bowl....perfect for making dough!!
Jeremy in the crawlspace making crawlspace jokes...thanks for starting my day off with a smile.
Spring is coming. 🌿🪻🌿🪻🌿
I miss your videos so much. I'm glad when you can be more active.
New video every Saturday
You're kids are going to have great memories to look back on. Helping when and where they could. Nice warm fires, homemade bread, doing crazy stuff with their dad, lol etc. They can't help but have a great work ethic with their parents as examples. Happy for you.
I love that you’re teaching your kids invaluable skills!! They are so fortunate to have the two of you for parents! It’s funny but as the video goes on you talk about this exact thing.
That is great to see you encouraging your children to help with the work needed with getting things done. No doubt such will help them as they all grow into adulthood. :) God bless you all.
Hello from snowy PEI Canada.
Going backwards to go forwards is sometimes the best way to get out of a situation and to learn. Especially in the winter when stuck in the snow. Ha ha ha
Yumm. I love homemade bread. It is something I make every week. I used to make it every friday. Lol I swear my brothers smelled it coming from the oven. They would drive 5 miles over to the house just as I was taking the first loaves out of the oven. One loaf would instantly be slathered with butter and devoured. I always make at least 14 loaves because they would take some home for the week and some went to Mom and Dad. The rest for our use. Now I only make 2 loaves for the week. My husband recently passed, my Dad has passed and one brother too. I now live 5 states away from Mom and one brother. My daughter makes bread for her family now too. I love the memories of all of us around a fresh loaf of bread and watching the ecstasy on their faces as they munch away. I saw that same look on the kids faces as they bit into the loaf. Making great memories.
Just imagine if we were all team mates, what a beautiful world it would be.
Jeremy gets hit in the head by the roll of wrap and says it’s ok my head caught it, classic Jeremy comment. 😂
So happy to see the children involved with the finishing touches in the home. You are a wonderful family unit and set a great example to us all
A good idea to involve your children, they will point to that in the future and say I help to do that. Still finding job to do in your home.
Stay warm and safe, it will soon be springtime. Love from Mike. ❤
The pantry looks great and it’s good to know your still using original recipes for bread great to see kenji all snug in front of the fire and glad you got the pump house rewrapped well done I love the look of the house in the snow it’s magical much love from tenerife ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Real life shared, as it happened, THANK YOU.
I've bought every shower head off Ebay. Numerous older models are solid bronze,. Then I drill the openings larger and boost the water pressure to 80 psi. I can hardly stand underneath it. But I'm squeaky clean........
Pressure washer shower 😆
The worst weather to try and do anything in is anything that's windy! Trying to build and just enjoy the process when there are gusty winds is so painful. Good for you guys for waiting until it died down a bit!
It warms my heart you all with your kids to working on your home together.
Brings back good memories of in the 1970s my two daughters helping their dad and me build our home.
Thank you for sharing, instructing us all in making this your bread recipes 😋
God bless you all!❤🙋♀️🙏
Greetings and blessings to all of you (and a hug 🤗 to share!) I love how you involve the kids so much now. They will probably always remember which were “their” tiles. It’s little things like that which make magic.
It’s all looking fantastic!! 👍👍❤️❤️🇨🇦
Before fall comes you need to build a WoodShed to shelter the firewood from the weather.
You will love the ‘Frameless’ glass front and door. We had ours done 2 years ago.
Yum! The bread looks really good. I need to get back to making bread. When the children were young I made all our bread and butter. We got fresh milk from a dairy farmer in the area. The farmers are no longer with us, so we can't do that anymore; but the bread - I can still do! Love you all!
You've Taught Your Children Throughout EVERY Video I've Watched Of Yours!!! You Have Taught Them How To Be Good, Kind, Caring, Loving and Strong Humans!!! They Are Well Rounded Amazing People Because Of The Two Of You!!! Plus Children See All and They Live What They Learn From Observation. Your Home Is So Warm and GORGEOUS!!! I LOVE YOUR PANTRY SO SO MUCH!!! Thank You For Showing Dear Sweet Kenji In Every Video, He's So Beautiful and So Loved 🙌💙🙏!!! If More Families Were 1/6 th of the Home Life as Yours Then Our World 🌎 Would Be A Better Place!!! Sending Good Vibes, Love and Hugs From Western Upstate New York 💚💜💙🖤💛❤ Think Spring 🌻✨!!!
Here is a suggestion to help you out when canning. After you empty a jar. Wash the jar and seal and flip the seal over and place it on the jar and hold it on with the ring. Your jars will be clean and already to use. All you have to do is heat the jar and fill. I do this all the time. It saves me hours in my canning.
I have a strawberry jam recipe that is so simple that you want want to use any other.
" Four cups of mashed berries to five cups sugar and two tablespoon lemon juice. Cook until thick and hen deform. Jar up and seal. Cool upside down completely them place in your freezer. This will keep for years. The jam will be ruby red and delicious. Hope you enjoy.
Cannot even begin to tell you how much I appreciate you showing the removal of the water restrictors!! Who knew! I showed my husband your video and he immediately went in and found ours and removed them! I had the BEST shower today getting all the shampoo out quickly! Spa time!! Best thing I’ve ever learned on TH-cam! Thank you!!!😅🎉❤
Glad I could help!
I just love watching your family videos, I wish my life was like yours but it isn’t so you make me happy for a time when I watch your life n the love that shows in your marriage n your children . You truly are a blessed family 🙏🏻🙏🏻💗🥰
❤️
You're such an inspiration!
Looking forward to seeing the glass install on the shower! My daughter is renovating her house and we did two glass systems. Will never ever do it again! Shattered one (small) panel in the process. Vague instructions and little tutorial videos.
I wish my husband and I did this when we were remodeling our home. The kids are grown and don't seem too interested in doing these things. It's good though that your children are still at the age where they can help and learn. You are great parents. God bless your family!
Teaching your children these skills will last them a life time. You never when your going to need them. Sad that most kids have know idea how to do anything. Parents just don't take the time anymore or most never got taught themselves. Glad to see that you take the time to involve your kids in all aspects of life.
I really like the way you all get along and are building memories. Your glass rimless door can be tinted for saftey or rippled to show it's there. Everything else is so beautiful.
Favorite part of the weekend right here. My daughter and I made breakfast and watched the episode from the couch. Just love you guys. She wants to do some farming now too. We put in ~60’ of raised beds. Can’t wait to plant soon!!
That's amazing ❤️
GOD that bread looks sooooo freakin good,,,,,,I'm diabetic and trying to lose weight but I'd almost kill for a good slice of homemade bread, I don't care if bread isn't so good for weight loss or diabetes LOL I NEEEEEDDDDD it LOL. I also don't think I could get through a week without a video from one of my most favorite family's in Idaho,,,from a fellow Idahoan about 250 miles south of you,,,, thank you guys for opening up and sharing your lives with all of us in youtube land,may God bless you and guide you and your lovely little ones through life always.
"Watch out Smuckers"! Melissa really made me laugh with that one! When I saw the cold weather you were working in, I thought to myself "this would be a good day to bake cookies". But being the warriors that you are, you still got stuff done. Kudos to my favorite TH-cam family!
A great video.
A spring rod would keep you from having to drill for shower rod.
A tip from my great aunt, when you cut homemade bread lay the loaf on its side and it doesn't break apart as you cut. It really works. I use that technic everyday.
Great that the kids helped, now you have your garage and apartment above for them to help with. It's so helpful to learn these things to have for help when your older.
Have a great weekend.
May the Lord bless and protect you and your family.
Thank you ❤️
You're both so great with your kids! Just love you guys. Thanks for sharing your family with us 🥰
Love watching your videos! I'm always watching DIY & building shows. Used to watch them with my husband, but lost him to a surprise heart attack last April. So, I'm living in a 5th wheel on 10 acres without my love to help build the little house we dreamed of. Hard to get started with the site prep on my own, trying to keep faith that God's timing is perfect.
So blessed you are to have each other! I'm too old now (early 60s) to find a love & partnership like yours. You are living a wonderfully blessed life. 💖
- learning so much from you, just 94 miles SE of you in Chattaroy, WA. 💜
I'm so sorry you lost your love ❤️ keep the faith
You are making my Saturday morning coffee time so enjoyable. Thank You
❤️
Good Morning Sweet Family!! 🌹😊❤
Good morning sweet Karen ❤️
Mmmmm home made bread.☺☺☺☺☺☺I will have to try yours out some time. I am glad that you are still working on some projects. Just think, one day the house will be done but there will always be something to do. Even though the kids were not able to help you during the build, they saw you working and they see the results. They will never forget the example that you left. My Mom was not as handy as you are but she did make my Dad work and work. Maybe that is why he died first. It is always good to see you and the projects. I am sure you have inspired many people. 😃😃😃😃
That stove makes your kitchen one to die for. I ❤️ it
Never get tired of watching your channel .
