  • Welcome!
    We are a homesteading, homeschooling family of 7. Due to recent events (job loss/career change, health issues, rising food costs, etc.) we are having a hard time making ends meet despite our best efforts at frugality. So we are tapping into our local food banks to help us feed our family. Come along as I show you what we are blessed with, what we add to it via grocery store and garden, and how I use it all to nourish our bodies.
    Thanks for watching and God bless!

    I'm devastated for your friend! I'm not surprised that someone who accommodates everyone would be slighted this way. Someone was jealous of her people skills. Great haul none the less!

    So much to say about this video. First, I’m SO sorry to hear about your friend. It is disgusting that happened to her as she seemed to be such a loving, caring, and supportive person that spread so much love and light. I hope she is able to find another similar position and continue to help others. Second, we all understand life is crazy and you don’t have to apologize. You’ll reemerge when things slow down. Finally, I’m a public school STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, math) teacher and if I ever were to see a roll of paper that size for that price, I’d buy the heck out of it! So many possibilities. We’ve been collecting brown grocery bags so the kids can draw/stamp/color/ paint on the plain sides and wrap their parent’s Christmas gifts.
    Merry Christmas!

    I can relate just needing a little bit of help with groceries. I’ve been going to food banks for the past couple years and they’ve been life changing. I’m not poor but I do have a chronic medical condition that is expensive to maintain with all my medical equipment and medication. I like seeing your food bank haul videos. Happy holidays to you and your family!

I totally understand Christmas chaos I have been so busy too I can't wait until after new years when we can just chill out and breathe a little. I also agree people need to quit being so mean in the comments so many youtubers are getting so many negative comments and it's just not necessary if everyone would be kind the world would be a better place. I will be here when you post again. Have a wonderful Christmas/ holiday season with your family!❤

    I think you're right about Christians can be very mean. I will say this God knows what she going thought and his plan may be God's has better plan for her life. See many churches do mean things I just shake my head when I see this am 78 years old I don't get some people but I do know God's Grace will see her thought this hard time. I will pray for your lady friend.

    Hi I'm so sorry about what happened to your friend and that is so wrong and that makes me mad too she lost her husband and I'm sure she feels so alone and running the food pantry is a way for her to talk to people and I know she hugged everyone who came in and the other volunteers working there and being around others is a just a way for her to know she is not alone and being by yourself is so hard and she has helped so many families and that includes all of you 😊could you please tell her I'm praying and thinking about her that would so much to me and I'm sure she will want to see you all outside the food pantry and just keep seeing her and thankyou so much for loving her she sounds like my grandma and she would do anything to help anyone and she never expected anything back my grandparents gave alot to their community and they helped alot of people and animals I mean stray cats mostly
    I will keep this wonderful woman in my prayers
    Just keep surrounding her with love.
    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2024

    Sorry about your friend that is sad that she was trying to help “everyone” and make it smoother running and they didn’t like it. If more people stop going because they can’t just sit and wait like that their eyes will be opened and they might also loose some more volunteers in the process too.
    Great haul! I could almost feed my family of 4 on that for a whole week(if I had nothing in my house a small $25-$30 shopping trip would round it out).
    I haven’t made a video in months because of health issues I have been having and now that I have finally gotten one of them fixed I am thinking up some ideas for videos(mostly conversation ones).

    Welcome back! 🌿I've missed you. 🥰I'm sorry your friend has been mistreated, as you said it's not very Christian. She is with us in prayer.🙏 I understand that it doesn't feel easy to go there now. I was wondering is there any other food bank that you can go to? But your friend is a kind Christian who wants those of you who have gone to her, will get the help that is available. It's hard, but do what's best for you and your family. Have a nice weekend. Take care, Birgitta🥰🌲❤
    To everyone who is negative, I hope you think a little before you complain, imagine how it would feel if it was YOU who needed a little help!

    I will pray for your friend, it is so unfair when people act unfair to others. I am 72 yrs. old and when l retired from my part-time retail cash in er job, l went to church food pantries. Now, God has provided so wondrous that l no longer need the extra help so families such as yours and others can utilize the much needed assistance. You should delete any and
    every negative and hateful comment. People can be thoughtless and cruel and shame on them. You continue to do what you need to do to take care of hubby and children and just keep tossing out the sour apples in the bunch.I am glad all is well, l have been a little concerned like a worried parent over my TH-cam friends such as your channel. God Bless!

    I'm sorry you're friend was let go for trying to help families out. I know they cannot make special rules for people but really, waiting 2-3 hours is a lot for anybody. That church should have made adjustments to keep the wait time down to an hour for everybody and the problem never would have happened.

      In some ways, yes. We were not the only ones. She allowed others to shop early as well. Like a few people who physically couldn't sit that long and some who's schedules didn't work for that day. It also reduced the number of people coming on the regular pantry day so those people didn't have as long a wait. But I can see how from the outside it might look unfair.
