What a beautiful nurturing environment you have created for your children! I hope they continue to thrive all throughout their childhood in this beautiful paradise! 🌱🌷🌟💖
Couldn't have said it better myself
People need to feel needed, having your children do truly strong chores is so beautiful. Our 2 year old even has a quick trash pickup each day...if people picked up as they went better this would not be needed, but the reality is we don't 😇. I just redid our chore system for summer....and I get one mealna day I do not have to do the kitchen, but I wake it up and am the one to put it to bed each day😁. Also, noone would accuse you of not doing your part, I wish I got more done myself to. We all need each other.
I am inspired by your outdoor cooking kitchen. What a wonderful way to start a day!
I appreciate you raising your children the way you are. They will have a work ethic and a moral compass that is always pointed true north. That is not always what happens with families these days. So great to see. I love the dogs!!
Have we saw the cat(s) yet????
I love your outdoor setup so much! Your children are growing up connected to the world and appreciative of where food comes from through hard work and perseverance. Your way of living seems so authentic to me and your videos both inspire and bless me. Thank you Jessica xx
Love your hat and your cart system! Doing school outdoors is so fun. We have always done school year around. Keeping cycles and routines help the kids feel protected and loved.
The new garden is looking great, it's going to be amazing when it's all filled in. Hopefully the raised beds help with the pest pressure and ease of planting and harvest. I love the idea of moving as much as you can outdoors, it's refreshing to change things up after being stuck indoors all winter. Looking forward to some nice weather over here so we can start eating outside as well.
I love that you are raising such disciplined kiddos, they will become successful adults! You may watch Simple Living Alaska in regard to the overwintering of bees. ❤
Our family schools year round too. I find the routine is helpful to our days and with all the other projects going on, it means that everything (sorta) gets done throughout the weeks where the extras are less demanding. Would you consider sharing the skills of raising and butchering the meatbirds? I know that can be a touchy subject with some viewers, but I would love to see that.
I always look forward to the warm weather and sending kids outside to eat! I’m thinking about a canopy with the netting to keep the bugs out while we eat. The bugs annoy me before the heat will!
We too move out schoolwork outside for awhile. The messes are definitely easier to manage when they’re outside so much!
Wow, homesteading looks so exciting, rewarding and also a lot of work. I’d love to live this way. Right now it’s not a possibility so I’m making the most of my urban backyard garden. I’ve really enjoyed watching everything grow and documenting the growth in my videos. I Love to film the bunnies and birds in action. I’m learning so much from you and other TH-camrs. I hope we can learn more from each other! I wish you an abundant harvest! 🌼🌻🐝☀️🌸🌺
I need a whole video on the outdoor bathroom!! We’re wanting to do something similar, and collect the water to water the garden. I was also thinking of using something like an oval metal tub.
It is so wise to teach children to help with chores and work as a team. I see parents who are struggling to do everything while they raise uncaring, entitled kids. They are failing their children. It takes patience and consistency to teach our kids to work and be compassionate. It is the greatest legacy we can give them. You are doing a great job and your children still play and are active.
We school year round as well. I find that doing so helps with retention, and makes my son less frustrated. It also gives him more time with his father, since I can send him with work he can do independently.
He also likes cooking, and is going to try the walls of Jericho for dinner.
Idk which part of "living" outside I like most in your space! I think the bathtub. Genius with the privacy fence and heater! 😍 There's actually quite a movement of people that do cold plunging regularly so you could use it for that too if you ever felt inclined. (It's awesome 😊)
Love the run down of outdoor plans.and love your raised garden it should be so much easier to care for.Im planning on getting a few next year myself
Wow! You are such and inspiration. Thank you so much for the outside kitchen and shower ideas! I am a homeschooling mom from Alabama with 20 acres. I have a large garden, but am looking for other ways to do more homesteading. I have subscribed and am looking forward to more awsome videos!
A table cover, like that on your picnic table, would help keep your tub clean when not in use. I think you have a sweet seamstress that could run some elastic around a cloth. for a quick fix. I love seeing her projects!
I love your outdoor plan. It's so great having the kids outside all day. That's how it should be. Most kids I know hide in the house with the air conditioning, get 0 exercise and sunshine
👍👏🤗 Hi. Jessica. Always interesting seeing your projects & growing family. Glad your griddle is ready to tackle family canning. I'm phx.az. things really heating up. I cook outside & so different & easy. Keeps the heat o/s. It's just a hot plate & wok type meals. So glad everyone is healthy & happy. Have a great week.
I love your outdoor kitchen/bath/living! I have to figure out how to make this work for me living in the city in the south. I love the outdoors so much!! Your videos are such a blessing!! Thank you!!
We also homeschool year round. We take a break in September to harvest crops from the field and in April due to calving. My husband and I rotate shifts checking on the heifer/cows. Love the outside bathing area! Unfortunately here we would be carried away by mosquitoes. Our family from PA come to visit for the first time 9 years ago. They asked if our state bird was the mosquito because they eat you alive early morning and as soon as 6 pm hits. We have been lucky this year so far because it’s been too cold for them to hatch however downside is we haven’t been able to get into the gardens or fields yet. It doesn’t want to warm up above 43 at night and this week will hit 34 so our furnace will have to be turned on again. Love the videos as it allows me to imagine the warmth.
The backyard and deck areas are beautiful and look so peaceful. I truly enjoy your videos and look forward to them each week.
I have 9 Greenstalks and they aren't wiggly at all. I noticed that the top of your potato stalk wasn't hooked over the 6 sections. That would help a lot. Also, having the planter on perfectly level ground is a must! I hope that you enjoy yours as much as I do. I have one for spinach, one for lettuces, three for strawberries, two for edible flowers/herbs at the entrance, one for peas and one for green beans. They will be cleared out now that harvest is done and make room for two other crops until fall when they go back into peas and green beans.
You and your sweet family are such a blessing. Your garden looks really good. We have planted the majority of ours. Love watching things grow. Love the way you have brought school and cooking outside. So peaceful.
We homeschooled year round also, my husband competes in winter sports so Jan and Feb were our less-school months. We had an outdoor kitchen when I was younger, a screen house and a large cooler were helpful additions
Love your outdoor setup! May your family enjoy days filled sunshine and making memories ☀️
Was a wonderful video. I try to be outside as much as possible. The children sleep better, less arguing because they run off that energy. The yard and garden looks fantastic. You are so encouraging to me. Always feel like getting right to work after watching your videos. Thank you so much for sharing.
It looks so warm and lovely there! The outdoor kitchen is fantastic! Your garden is coming along splendidly! Have you ever thought about putting wood chip mulch down over the weed mat along the pathways in your vegetable garden? I have that on mine, it looks great and is so nice to walk on. Keeps the area cooler in summer too. In winter you can spread some winecap mushroom spores as they grow in wood chip, and then you’ll have mushrooms go eat too
I would love to eventually do gravel or wood chips. We just didn't have the funds for it this year. We can't find a free wood chip source.
@@threerivershomestead that’s a bummer. I used wood chips only because they were free. Perhaps call some local arborists, often they need to dump a load and will offer one to you when this is the case. Good luck & I look forward to your next video, you’re so inspirational ❤️
I love the idea of the outdoor kitchen and outdoor shower! Here in Alabama though the outdoor kitchen would be shortlived in just a few weeks!!!!!!!
The outdoors kitchen, classroom and bathroom will be so nice for you guys. Think it's great that you have chores chosen for each child. Looking forward to seeing how your garden will do. Have a great week
This is wonderful video about your homeschool routine and I understand homeschooling year-round and I did also we didn't have a homestead we lived in town and a lot of people just really didn't understand why we were outside so often during the day. We also have no central air here and I cook outside often in the summer. I love the idea of the outdoor bath and shower also the propane water heater do you have any links for any of these things or no. Your gardens are looking beautiful and I love the way that you've done the beds. Green beans are one of our main vegetable Staples here and if I had a total crop failure one year I would have been totally heartbroken. I really hope the netting and things on the bottom and the raised beds cure that problem we seem to have more of a vole problem here now also and possibly even rats which I've never dealt much more with in my entire life.
Have you ever contemplated put a bit of a roof on our outdoor kitchen so you could still cook out there when it rains. I'm not sure how much rain you get but it would also help to protect the cooking equipment from the impacts of the weather.
This is fantastic!!!!! Our Lord is so wonderful....He takes good care of us.....blessings to all of you!!!!
I’m kinda new to your channel. Thanks to a kind friend who shared your channel with me. I wondered if you made your table and seat covers or bought them? I think that’s a nice touch. We are in Ohio and thanks to your winter sowing video we tried it and I’m sharing it with my friends. I absolutely Th ink your outdoor wash area is so smart. God gives the best ideas. I grew up in the country and we washed littles off in a galvanized tub. Now I live in town and I have our children change into swimsuits and wash up outside when the weather cooperates. I didn’t even know their where propane camp water heaters! Thanks for sharing. Also after graduating two we have decided to school year round wihh Th my husbands support. God blessed us with the ability to purchase the empty lot behind our house and we are turning it into a garden. Schooling year round will afford us the freedom to put up harvest this fall. I glean so many tips when I watch. Thank you for loving Jesus, your husband and your children. May God be praised and may He bless you with more strength to do His will!
I got the covers off Amazon. I think they are linked in my Storefront. Thank you 😊
@@threerivershomestead thank you!
☀️Love the hanging swing.
Tons of outdoor fun!☀️
Cooking al fresco is awesome.
If bacon were a fragrance, I’d wear it!😋🥓
I am growing Luffa for the first time this year (Chicago area, Zone 5) and would love a tutorial! My kids are in public school but we continue learning through the summer...a bit of review of math/reading but I also focus on things that aren't taught in an elementary classroom (gardening, cooking, carpentry, etc). 🙂
Thanks for the peek at your summertime living. Enjoy! PS: I hope those hungry dogs get a special treat now and again. It's hard to watch them drooling over the food they can't have.
We have started taking year round school years. We have a small mowing business that my husband and teen girls do as a second job ( we pay our kids) and Spring is crazy busy with clean ups and trying to keep up with the fast growing grass. Then in the Fall we have a bunch of Fall Clean ups. We also garden and can, have fruit trees that should give a small harvest this year and have chickens.
Raw eggs are great for doing with shell just fyi also peppermint and mint great to cut and hang in chicken coop to keep critters out and smelling nice . Sunflower plants seeds are great for all animals dogs chickens cows
That is awesome. Unfortunately its too hot here is southern Arizona to do much outside during the day. Early am and early evening is the best time. Unless your in the pool. Lol
I love how your bathtub is outside! How fun for those little boys just to run around like that. I tried homeschooling year around-it was a little hard for me because of summer activities and commitments.
I really appreciate your philosophy on year round homeschooling. We are finding ourselves struggling to finish up our school year because of all the projects. I generally just want a large break and need the summer off for my projects but I think we may have to switch to year round schooling. We have 9 children.
I wish we could move outdoors as well. Are flies not an issue with your chickens free ranging or your cattle around? The flies are awful during the summer.
Great inspiration for outdoor living and homeschooling outside more. Thanks for the ideas.
Beautiful outdoor area and your dog! Your family is blessed, beautiful!
the outdoor kitchen looks so wonderful! The camp stove is such a great idea. I can't wait to see all the food you cook on it this year. Question, how do you handle bugs? Do you use citronella candles/oil/torches, or wear bug spray?
I’m trying to decide between a camp stove set up or gas stove inside. I’m curious how long the tank tends to last you. That’s my hesitation not knowing how long a smaller tank may last. Thanks!!
Wow… you are going out in summer and we here in karachi are going indoors in the current heat wave with temp as high as 45 plus degree centigrade. Summers in karachi are nightmares….
Love your videos…. Your fan Hina from Pakistan
I never think to have vegetables with breakfast. When I saw that gorgeous asparagus with the eggs and bacon I about lost my mind. I hope and pray your garden it abundant this season, much love ❤️
Omg how lucky you are to get a green stalk garden I’ve awaited one but just can’t come up with extra money for one and I wanna get a freeze dryer but at this point I want be able to say a prayer for me
If you don’t mind that one day I will tyia much love and prayers from bama
Simple Alaska living has an amazing method to canning their pickled eggs on their channel and they have shared it a few times and it’s t seems to work great! Hope that helps 😊
This was so helpful for me to know what I can expect from my kids at their ages. I have a 7 year old girl, 4 year old boy, 2 year old girl and am due to have another little girl in September. I’m always struggling to remember that my kids are old enough to help a little so I don’t need to do everything myself- which is getting harder the bigger I get! After watching this video I’m motivated to make a summer chore list!
Definitely. When my kids were 4 and 7, they already knew how to make their own meals (albeit simple), run a load of laundry when asked, fold and put laundry away, sweep the floor, mop, do dishes, and much more.
It is so great the lifestyle that you have for your family it teaches the children self esteem and also how to take care of themselves and some day their own families and how to feed themselves and family it’s so healthy for bodies and spirits y’all are doing a great thing for them
Since I got my Harvest right, I’ve quit waterglassing. I can process 6 dozen per run, 18 eggs per tray.just blend and freeze. 6 dozen, freeze dried fit in a gallon Mylar. Reconstituted you can’t tell them from fresh. You don’t have to find storage for jars, don’t have the losses or,have to be careful like with water glassed. I’ve put up 30 dozen this way. I really think you will,like it better than waterglassing, or even pickling.
Have you found that when they’re reconstituted they work well for baking? I know her son does a lot of baking and used plenty of the water glassed ones for that.
@@kimshomesteadclassroom5379 yes. Can’t tell the difference. 2T water and 2T egg powder equals one large egg.
I quite enjoy this concept of moving outdoors! We schooled outside yesterday and it was lovely…not without its challenges, so I have some kinks to work out but I think we’ll stick with it.
How do you plan to protect your camp stove and cast iron griddle from the elements? We have something similar, but don’t have it set up all the time. I looooove cooking on it though!
Love Love this video as a child we always bath outside when we were children great garden tour ♥️♥️♥️🙏 and outside kitchen ♥️
Do you have automatic waters for the garden or do you water them by hand? Is it once a day or twice a day? I am still working on my small garden which is all in pots.
Coming back through and watching all of your vids ❤ enjoying looking back through the last year at all you accomplished!
You have a beautiful life on your homestead. And near the end of your road, I doubt you will ever lament that you wished you had spent more time with your children. And that, is worth a lot!
We choose to school year round as well. I love it so much better and it provides consistency for the kids.
You are amazing. The Lord has certainly blessed you with organization skills. God bless ❣
You are such an inspiration to me. If only I could pull off the lifestyle you live with your large family! We have similarities but I definitely fall short.
Thank you for sharing. What an inspiration! I also love the outside tub !!!
Jessica, your kids are soo cute and well behaved! Has your ever taken a field trip to the Ark Encounter and the Creation Museum down? It's such an amazing place and great for homeschoolers. Just wondered. Hope you have a blessed evening!
Very nice job with all the plants and flowers , nice outside kitchen .
I love your videos! You are all well organized even though it may not feel like it😄
I loved this video, I wish I was more frugal, your family is a blessing! Look forward to seeing the loofah, never heard of it!
It's great that you can school outside. When you do your read-a-longs, you don't know how much the little boys are absorbing without realizing it. Time will tell
I sure do enjoy your channel. May God bless you and your family as you teach and love them. You are an inspiration to me.
How do you can on a flat top? I have a two burner gas propane cook top but it can’t go over a certain BTU or it will warp your canner…..please show us how you do it….Rose Red Homestead did a video on electric canner and said it was not heating the inside of the jars correctly…..
I cannot find a lot of veggie plants for sale here in Logan. I held back on growing my starts because of electric and heating the greenhouse I worried it would be high..we use to have people selling plants but not this year.
My drs husband has six greenhouses and raised 10,000 tomatoes but he will only sell wholesale, no to his towns people.😔
I took up canning in 2021 (long story involving over-fertilized tomatoes and peppers). I pressure can in an instant pot and had 100% success with it. The trade off is smaller jars and smaller batches of jars, hence me having two instant pots! 😄. Needless to say, the few models out there that they put a “canning” button on are marked up by about 30%, but all instant pots are is an electric pressure cooker, so they all get the job done. Pretty sure the USDA wouldn’t stamp approval on it, but it’s never failed and never led to broken seals or sickness, so I’ll keep trucking without the stamp! 😄
The garden looks amazing! 🌱🌱
I admire the way your family lives, very productive but also time for kids to just be kids too.
What breed are your dogs? The larger one looks like it has cropped ears.
Can you please let me know the recipe to the walls of Jericho breakfast meal you gave to the children. I’d be interested in trying it. Please and thank you Jayne
Hope everyone wears hats and covers up skin during the summer. Take care!
Jessica it looks like your using a griddle for cooking outside. Maybe a black stone or similar. I want one but I didn’t know if it would work to get my canners up to pressure. I’ve debated the griddle versus propane burners. Can you advise me please
Always enjoy hearing your family life … i would love to hear how you handle mosquitos and bugs … thats a big issue for us.
I grew up in NC with the traditional way of growing potatoes in soil on the farm. My husband’s grandmother grew potatoes in straw or hay bales very successfully in Indiana & Washington state.
I guess you dont have to worry about mosquitoes or black flies. Here where i live in Ontario Canada we have clouds of them right now!
I absolutely love the outdoor bath idea! I'm sure that's very handy on the homestead! I love that we're very similar in the way our families do chores and homeschool outside during the summer as well. I've also recently talked to my husband about us investing in getting a greenstalk! You were very blessed to have a friend gift that to you! Also, did I hear you correctly when you said you got your flower towers from the dollar store? I would love to find some of those! Thank you for once again sharing such a great video!
You are so right! The chores also give the young ones a strong work ethic that carries through for a lifetime.
They are from Dollar Tree. I got them online last year.
@@threerivershomestead thank you! 😁 I'm going to see if they have them online this year. They're just right for me to use at my farm and I'd love to be able to get some for my parents as well. 😁
@@stanleypennock2118 you're absolutely right about the work ethic! My son is 16 and he wants to be a master mechanic. So, not only does he help with taking care of our farm animals and the property itself but he also is already getting experience on working on all our farm equipment as well!
What a beautiful family life you have, and such delightful days of learning.
Your garden looks fantastic!
Your homestead is beautiful and very functional. I love it! Love your garden.
Hello/bye Adam. LOL. Happy bunch. The kids seem eager to take up chores. Excellent. Now you need a roof over your porch for rainy days. Everything looks wonderful.
laundry helper, pick up sticks - these sound like a perfect chores for a puppy as well, haha
Love the idea of the outdoor tub and shower ❤️
What is your opinion and knowledge of canning outdoors on a good camp stove. I have an old electric stove and the coils aren’t even or stable. I want to begin pressure canning broths, meats and certain veggies
Now you need an outside washer. People get out of the bathtub and put their clothes in a wash machine. Maybe a wash house. You gotta made lady love that outside kitchen
Hello Jessica and Adam and family. Love your outdoor bathtub. Your kids are getting so big. Have a good night sweet dreams God Bless you and Adam and your family
As usual you made another wonderful video you can feel the love flowing from you to such a wonderful family.
Love that you do chores, keeps kids grounded. What's happened to Benjis hair? Love your vids. What are the dogs names and what breed are they?
They are Boz Shephard Dogs.
Leela is the Dam of Harry the pup and Tom is the big Daddy!
(I’m a retired Dog Groomer, so I have a very keen interest in Dogs!)
I am a mom of 13 and love your channel. Such a beautiful family. Where did you get your hat?
I got it off Amazon!
I look forward to all of your videos and I’m never disappointed! Your garden is going to be gorgeous this year.
This was such a fun video. I loved it. You have such an awesome family. You and Adam are amazing parents. Ty for sharing your lives. Be blessed.
I absolutely love watching your beautiful family. Keep the videos coming Mama. Have a great week. Hello to the kiddos.
I found the topic of homeschooling very very interesting, understand why and how you do it, obviously there is some kind of governing body that sets guidelines and targets that you have to adhere to???
It varies by state. Every state has different rules and regulations. Some states have zero oversight and others have very strict quarterly assessments, then there is everything in between.
@@threerivershomestead thank you for your reply, do you and other homeschooling parents/guardians have to undergo any kind of specialist training before you can homeschool?
@@annemaguire657 I don't know the rules for other states, but here in Ohio we do not.
You could sell the eggs and let the kids get a little treat from the dollar store with the money. Or save up for a big family gift.
Beautiful vlog! Could you share where you find such pretty dresses?🙂
Have you guys considered a heat pump instead of HVAC?
Such a beautiful life you’re giving your children!
the children are learning so much! and my husband would hate to be filmed , so i get it, it's okay.
I so enjoy your videos. AMAZING !. YOU ARE JUST A BLESSING. HAPPINESS IS MY JESUS FAMILY FRIENDS AND DIRT UNDER MY FINGERNAILS AFTER DAY IN YARD AND GARDEN. THE VIDEOS ARE MY FAVE. HAVE BLESSED WEEK Ms. JESSICA AND FAMILY.
