For me it’s putting my little two to bed and saying goodnight to my oldest :) Even just those few minutes of one on one time with them helps us to be so connected 💗
I too like bringen the little to bed. And after that I like to finish my household and sit in the Garden and listening to a shiur of our Rebbe before going to sleep .
Davening. Then I like to listen to a class while I sit and do my skincare. Then I snuggle up on the bed with my little dog and watch a little TH-cam or another lecture.
I hear you on the meals. I have finally realised that we are never going to get bedtime sorted if I’m trying to cook every night so I’m going crazy with batch cooking and canning to fill the freezer and pantry with ready-to-go meals we can eat most nights during the week.
My Mom worked outside of the home 1950's I seen her work hard all day in a foundry. and come home and cook and clean. So when I had a family and worked out side of the home. I made meals that always had left overs. So I only had to cook every other nite. and So if we had our kids friends over everyone was welcome. Now everyone is gone. BUT I still only cook every other day. and some days I will make enough to freeze for the soon winter months. It's a give and take. I have always spent as much time as I could with my kids. You can never get that time back. Make Memories
When my daughter was little she loved breakfast for dinner almost as much as backwards dinner. Backwards dinner is eating dessert first! Brownie night was also a favourite since it was tomato soup and grilled cheese sammies for dinner before heading off to Brownies, yes both of us since I was a Brown Owl😊. Happy memories🥰
I am new to your channel. I don’t know how I got here but I’m glad I did. You need help … gosh. 😀Home school, cooking, cleaning, housework, gardening, and time with your hubby.,when does that happen? It seems you are never tired. We used to work opposite shifts, I’m a nurse, so I took graveyard shift, hubby is engineer so he worked days. I only worked every other weekend fri sat and Sunday. Every other weekend. I could have gone full time but with graveyard plus shift premium it was almost like a full time paycheck. The kids were my main job of course. I’m was not as “ mommyish” as you. Of course my kids were my number one priority but you seem so happy all the time. I had little helpers too that would put things into the dishwasher and not reset it. Finally I got them to just leave things in the sink , so dishwasher would not stink from not finishing. YUCK. We just had our kitchen remodeled, the electrician told me to run dishwasher full, as it works better. Boy did we remodel…. Evert house we have had we remodeled but this time we did the “ big one” we bought a 5 year old house 12 years ago, used it for a rental, we lived in Pennsylvania ( which I loved) we were transferred back here to California, it’s hot here. I hate folding fitted sheets, there must be a trick…. Speaking of hair, we are Italian, no rules about hair but I do have hair down to my waist. It’s so hot here in the wine country, I usually put it up in a knot on my head or tie it back with a scarf. I miss not having little kids. I think I told you mine are all grown men. 41 and 39, DIL 44. I miss them so much no traveling due to Covid-19. They have had their vaccines and getting boosters soon, hopefully we will all be together for Christmas this year, the last two years were so hard, we were all alone right after we moved to California. Lucky for us we have a pool and made friends with the family across the street, we have been in a “ bubble” with them as we all went together to be tested for covid. We would swim and bbq on weekends, but I just don’t feel like I did in Pennsylvania. Change is suppose to be good… this is our 6 th move in 45 years of marriage and we are right back where we started from . I wanted to ask you have you ever watched “ Our tribe of many” they are a interracial family of I think 10 kids. She home schools, has kids from newborn to I think just about ready to go to college. They are both ministers, she cooks a lot and I’m not kidding, a lot lot. If you haven’t check them out. Great family. I finally decided some families are big, some are not. We are just the two of us , we have been for a long time. PS I don’t think I made myself clear “ our tribe of many is a you tube channel. All the kids are so well behaved and polite. Check them out in your free time - ha ha I don’t think you get any but if you do….😀 we have kept 4 out of 6 houses for rentals, that’s what keeps me busy , the books, getting people to do clean outs, painting etc 3 of the houses are back east so I work vert closely with a realtor on those homes. One we bought here and we had no intention of it being a rental , it was just too small, even though kids only made it here once when we moved i like everyone to have their own room. My married son and his wife have their room and my single son has his , they had to share a bathroom we had our room but when covid hit we knew we needed bigger since my husband works from home and I wanted married son and DIL to have bedroom with en suite bathroom so they did not all have to share. My other son dies not mind his bedroom and bathroom are a bit smaller. Once again, I get no craft room and they have not even been here in 3 years. Woops I take that back, our oldest drove down from Portland Oregon to help us buy a car. He is in a Tesla club and wanted to put his two cents in lol maybe like about 20.00 worth of information , it was a good thing because he got the price down a bit since he owns one and has 4 or 5 friends he helped buy ( give his opinion) lol on. No grandkids but we have a sports car… that is not the same but fun to drive during covid we just take little rides on hubby’s days off , we don’t drink but it’s fun going to the wineries, Walk around , take pictures, I’m artistic, I just got a DSL camera, so I’ve been having fun taking pictures of grape 🍇 vines , animals and flowers. Lots to learn, not like an I phone but I’ll admit the I phone 10 takes great pictures. , ,
Now THAT is the way to serve French toast! Growing up, on really hot days in the summer, my Mom would sometimes serve vanilla ice cream topped with cornflakes for dinner. As you can imagine that was always a fav with us kids.
Just a thought about fitted sheets, if you fold the sheet in half then put one corner inside the opposite corner then the other side then fold again and then put all corners together it should be a square then it should all line up and be able to fold easier. Happy folding 🥰
Quite a harmonious video. When I was a kid, once in a while, my mother would also make breakfast for dinner -- like pancakes. It was always a fun thing. Nice job!
I love breakfast for dinner. It doesn’t matter what your meals are as long as they are eating them. Don’t feel guilty just do what works for your family ❤️
I most days have a hot lunch so dishes are and I'm not so tired in the evening. Also a green and Berry smoothie has stopped me wanting something sweet in evening.
Have you ever considered a drip irrigation hose? It would enable you to just turn the hose on and walk away. It also helps prevent some diseases/fungus issues in plants increasing yields.
I live in Germany and we usually eat bread for breakfast and dinner and have a hot lunch. So we do breakfast for dinner everyday :) I recently found your channel, you seem like such a nice and genuine person, love watching your videos!
You are such a great mother! I genuinely cannot help but smile when I see your interactions with your children. And your son wanting to go into space was so cute!
@@jaroffireflies Of course! And when you talk about not being one of those mothers who can always put a really fancy dinner on the table, remember that you are only human. And there are a finite amount of hours in the day! You do an amazing job. You cook lunch, you clean, you homeschool! Supermum! 😁
Chanah it depends on how old they are and what kind of routine you have set up.I use to have them run up and down the hall!! unless you live upstates apt. have them do some kind of exercise to tire them out. then start the bedtime routine. read the book('s), brush teeth, drink of water, go potty, bath time there blankie you get the idea.any thing and every thing be for you go into the bedroom ( not in the order I wrote) So when you finish the book they know there is NO getting out of bed.I hope this helps. With Covid there inside the house so much more then normal. they have energy built up. make it fun!
I just love how real and down to earth (and honest) you are in your videos. I work full time outside the house and I get stuck watching these videos and these women prepare suck elaborate meals and I sit here feeling inadequate. You're truly showing real life...so thank you!!
I get what you say about not being able to do the "normal" dinners every night. I remember talking to a family member about the veggies my kids like and when I told her they were canned most of the time, she jumped down my throat for not giving them fresh veggies every evening 🙄 sheesh. We as moms do what we can. Our kids don't starve AND enjoy the meal. Im going to try that breakfast board.
You are an awesome mom, an inspiration, much love and thank for posting so raw. I struggle sometimes as a mom and it’s nice to see how you manage and prioritize so we can learn. Please post on your prayer book. Recently I have decided to started learning the Torah and to start praying and I’m exciting to see how and where to start.
I just stumbled upon your channel and watched a few videos and I really enjoy watching you. Your manner and attitude are so nice to see. I am not Jewish, but I live in an area with a large Jewish community and many of your videos have given wonderful insight into the beliefs of my neighbors. I feel that openness and understanding of others beliefs is so important in acceptance of others and being able to live peacefully with our neighbors. Being joyful and committed to one’s beliefs while allowing others to be joyful in their beliefs I believe is important. Thank you for the fun and also educational videos!
Thank you so much for your kind and encouraging words! I really appreciate it! I am so glad that my videos have helped you to better understand your neighbors :) And I love your attitude about life!
Lol...my son is 16...and the syrup dripping is still an issue for him to this day... it's so good...but oh so messy...lol Awww!!! Bedtime is so sweet with littles. I used to sing my 2 to sleep when they were babies..now I have a 20 and 16 year old...my 20 year old (when she's home from college) rests her head on my leg and let's me scratch her head (play with her hair) cherish every single moment....it goes by so very fast I enjoy these videos...they give me motivation to organize and actually start daily routines...especially quiet time with God, so very important and sweet. Thank you Chana 💜
Hi! I’m new to your channel and catching up on some older videos. I really enjoy learning about the every day details of Jewish homemaking. I’m fascinated by the orthodox lifestyle and noticed something. Is it just a coincidence that I never see carpeting or rugs in Jewish homes?
Hi Edith! Thank you so much for watching my videos! It is definitely just a coincidence that you don't see carpet or rugs in Jewish homes. I have rugs in all of our bedrooms, and before our remodel we had carpet in about half the house. :)
To help with a Texas garden, I am in the next county west of you, mulch mulch and more mulch. It helps retain water, found a new product this year. Compressed coconut fiber, it once was considered a waste product from coconuts. It’s on Amazon, it’s kind of strange a block of brown stuff, I put in a tub and soak it with water, stir, add more water. I have been putting it all my flower beds and potted plants this summer and so far so good. Good luck
My favourite part of my evening is taking my son for his bath time routine and when he finally sleeps I can spend an hour or so learning on my interest which at the moment is Judaism and Torah.
My favorite part of the evening is when I get to sit and rest in bed for a few minutes before sleep. I dont sit or lay down hardly all day. The rest is nice❤❤❤
Bahaha! We just ate "hootenanny" for dinner and its topped with fruit jelly. I love my family but it's just unrealistic to make a big elaborate dinner every night. Thank you for your realism! ❤
Right? There’s just no way I could do a big dinner on top of everything else. Something has got to give! What is hootenanny? The word is familiar but I have no clue what it means?
@@jaroffireflies Its the English word for German pancake or sometimes called a Dutch Baby. It's a stick of butter in a 13x9 melting while the oven is preheating to 425, then mix up 1 C flour, 6 eggs, 1C milk - i add vanilla and cinnamon too. Then when the oven is heated remove the 13x9 with the melted butter and pour the mixed ingredients over the butter and bake for 20mins. Yum!
I really enjoyed this video. We did a lot of breakfast growing up. Mostly when my dad did training exercises-he was in the army. When my boys were little, they are grown men now-we would sit on their bed or in the chair and read books. I miss those days. My oldest reads to his son or did when he was smaller. The good thing is, they all love books. Thank you for sharing your nightime routine with your kids. Hope you have a blessed day!
When my son lived at home we often had breakfast for dinner on the Monday night, we both loved it. Your charcuterie board looked fabulous and I adore french toast. It was such a joy to hear you saying goodnight to your son and daughter, very sweet. Have a great day.
Oh,I love breakfast for dinner. The egg. A perfect food! And,oh my gosh ,French toast,made from challah bread!!!! That sounds amazing,your beloved family is so fortunate to have such a dinner! I come from a different culture,a culture that eats pork. I don’t. I have tried it,I can’t stand it,my family always were baffled by this! Maybe I’m a closet Jewish man😂 I say this to make you laugh,not to offend😊
Having a clean kitchen. Not having a dishwasher, just me., i like to make sure both sinks are empty and clean. I wont sleep if my house isn’t all picked up the night. 🙂🙂
Chana you are a busy ima 💜 I do the same thing at night (minus taking care of children lol). Our children are grown but we love it when the gbabies come over. I have to make sure the kitchen is clean for sure! Straighten up everything else also. Great school prep idea too. That would seem to be helpful for morning. Your charcuterie board turned out soo cute. We like breakfast for dinner sometimes too. Thanks for taking us along. 💜
My mom worked full time and the only meat, vegetables, mashed potatoes, biscuits or cornbread meal we had was Sunday dinner. Monday through Thursday was leftovers. On Friday we had fish (catholic pre Vatican II) and potatoes. On Saturday she usually made a one pot dish that we ate in the middle of the week. If that was gone then wieners and beans. My sister and I ate it. I love leftovers.
Chana I made dinners but my kids were so picky that they often had cereal or a sandwich( which they made by the way!} your lunches are so nice, and hey I would like to attend your home school!!!
I loved seeing your nightime routine! My kids also love breakfast for dinner especially pancakes! You're so organized and detailed! I wish I could be like that as well! Much love and I look forward to your next video 🥰
Finally catching up on this video (I've started limiting my TH-cam so I have more time with the kids). Love brinner and we've had it 2 nights in a row because I couldn't figure out anything else to eat and I finally got my vegan gluten free waffle recipe right, even my daughter is loving them 🙃
I don’t mind at all! I made a video about it! Part of it is technique so the video is definitely useful :) Here is the link: th-cam.com/video/0PUzgMR4JtU/w-d-xo.html Happy baking!
We call it Brinner (breakfast for dinner). I've watched several of your videos and you don't mention your husband. What does he do and does he help with the kids?
Thank you for your reply. It's so wonderful to hear he's a hands on dad! I'm enjoying your videos and learning about your religion, since was was raised catholic. When I was in high school, mid-60s, one of the students was Jewish but attened our catholic all girls school. I wanted to attend her synagogue but my parents wouldn't allow it. She was so sweet, we became friends, and she gave a little insight but then they moved.
This was very interesting, I like charcuterie a lot but I’ve never come across a breakfast charcuterie, I’ve only ever done the more classic ones that are things like cheeses, nuts, stuffed grape leaves, fresh herbs and stuff like that lol
I watched one of your videos where you had stated that the Catholic religion really wasn't centered round Jesus is was more centered around God the father. Catholics believe that we have 1 God. God the father God the son Jesus and God the Holy Spirit. 3 people in 1 God. The Holy Trinity. the Eucharist is turned into Jesus' body and blood. Our Eucharist came from the Jewish Passover celebrated God's freeing the Israelites from slavery in Egypt. The blood of the Passover Lamb on their doorposts saved their firstborn from the angel of death. The Eucharist celebrates God freeing us from slavery to sin and death. That is why Jesus is called the Lamb of God. Since you conversion what is your belief in Jesus?
Hi Chana, you should try some freezer crockpot meals. I enjoy the Wads on TH-cam check out her meal prep, many of them could be kosher. I just bought that game you played at the cabin.
I work in a kitchen, you could try and meal prep. Like meals that could be made a head of time and then frozen. I am not sure as for you being a Jew since you have certain things that you do with your food. You could take one day a week or every other week to do it. But I am not sure if you would have a lot of time with everything else you do in a day. You might find some recipes that you can make double of and freeze the second portion. By the way I love your videos, New subscriber.
Welcome! Thank you so much for subscribing! I’m so glad you’re here! And thank you for your suggestion of meal prep. I’ve tried it in the past and it hasn’t worked out super well for me. I think I just need time good go to meal prep recipes which means more research! I’ll get there :)
I discovered your channel and Instagram. I think a week or so ago and have been watching quite a few of your videos. I just love your perky personality.
I thought I understood from your prior video the kosher approach to food, but now I'm confused, haha. I thought you couldn't combine meat and dairy in the same meal or at least on same plates, etc. But this dinner had dairy (egg in the french toast) and meat from the sausage. What am I missing? The french toast looked so delicious!!
Great question! So eggs are considered parve (not meat or dairy), and the sausage was vegan 😊 Sorry about the confusion and thank you for giving me the opportunity to clear it up!
I love breakfast for dinner! We do either French Toast or pancakes and eggs. When I worked, it was essential for me to set up everything for the next day: putting out something to wear, cleaning my kitchen and, if I needed to bring something with me the next day, it went with my purse, at my front door so I would literally trip over it and not forget it lol or straight into my car so there's no excuse. If I didn't do all of that, my mornings were chaotic which definitely doesn't set the tone for a good day 🤣🤣.
Thank you so much Kay! The shirt I wore in this video is Lularoe (the Randy tee). The head covering was a gift I got ten years ago from my sister in law from Israel (I think... its been a while lol). I am hoping to do a video where I film my closet and try on all my clothes and talk about where they are form etc so stay tuned!
Folding fitted sheets are so easy. You have to fold in half, tuck the corners into each other, fold in half again and tuck the corners again, then it folds so easily.
We have breakfast for dinner fairly often. I have seen Kosher kitchen with two dishwashers so that various dishes don't get mixed together. You seem to have one only. So you can wash a plate that had meat alongside a glass that had milk in it?
As someone from England I'm so impressed by the garbage disposal - that isn't a thing here really. We have to put a little metal sieve over the plug hole when we wash the dishes so it catches anything that isn't liquid then put the rubbish into the bin manually.
I do that on Shabbat and holidays when I can’t use the disposal :) My husband who was born and raised in Israel and then lived in England for a few years in his 20s tells me that I’m to only reason he has a disposal 😂
@@jaroffireflies It seems like a brilliant invention! It's interesting to see the differences in living even between two somewhat similar countries! I like to think I'd get a disposal if I lived somewhere where they were the norm - such a good idea! 🙂
It is a great joy to watch your videos. I am inspired especially about your conversion story. You are doing super fabulous. The french toast looks so yummy. Can I make one tiny observation about the eggs? I hope you don’t mind me explaining. There is kosher procedure to check yolk for blood spot to make sure there’s none. Because blood in the egg makes it not kosher which we can’t use. One way is putting the egg in a clear glass to check from all sides. Another way is after cracking the shell, you put the yolk from one shell to the other half shell back and forth a few times to make sure you check all sides of the yolk to be free of blood spot. Hope this info helps.
It was definitely a hit! The idea I saw in the magazine also had other breakfast meats and some cinnamon rolls etc. so many ideas you could do with this!
Folding a fitted sheet is so simple. I managed a hotel and did tons of laundry so we folded flat, fitted and pillow cases all together. And we do king sheets and all in a set.
If you would be comfortable, maybe consider having domestic help as an option for you. I can understand how you would be tired/exhausted beyond belief. Also, this way, if possible, you can be very well rested up for your husband and such, example, if your husband is coming at 5 PM you can take some rest and then take a shower and put perfume whatever you would like to do and be completely energized and fresh
French toast challah is great. I’m not orthodox, but even I know you are supposed to crack your eggs into a clear glass first. Are you B’aal Tsheuvah? I’m sorry, but the egg thing is very basic.
I know we could be great friends cause I see all those craft goodies in your school room. I have my hands in so many crafts, embroidery,quilts,T-shirt, candles,cards and some others.
@@jaroffireflies I’d love to try the screen printing as well but haven’t gotten the stuff yet. Once I can get my husband to get me a craft shed I’ll start getting everything. Right now I have to fight cat hair lol I have a Cricut Maker and Explore Air 2 for vinyl shirts and my embroidery machine shirts.
Great question! So we recently redid our kitchen and some of the cabinet doors needed to be replaced. We haven’t put the cabinet pulls on those cabinets yet :) In general there are a lot of little things like that all over my house that need to be finished :)
How lovely to see ‘proper’ home schooling! Lets all the lockdown mummies who were talking about how stressed they were coping with homeschooling see that they were doing nothing of the sort!
For dinner take one day a week and do massive freezer meals so you just take the stuff out the night before and let it thaw in fridge. If you have a crock pot you can do dump and go meals where you put everything in a crockpot bag and freeze it then the night before let it thaw and let it cook all day.
Thanks for the advice! I’ve tried stuff like this in the past but my kids don’t love the meals 😕 I am on the search for things like this that they would like though :)
@@jaroffireflies do they like broccoli or cooked spinach? I have 2 awesome meals on my Pinterest board that my family love. They have a white sauce on them and are demanded twice a month lol. Once I find stuff my crew loves I make a double batch the next time and I’ll cook 1 that night and freeze the other for another night. If you would look at my Pinterest boards please feel free to. I’m Robin McCrea on there with a me and hubby ( I have a black shirt on)
Do you and the kids eat at different time then your Husband? Does your Husband work out of town a lot? Why did you decide to convert ? does your parents follow your rules? or how do you do that. I'm thinking your parents and siblings are Jewish. on Friday's is it your husband that is to cook for Shabbat? or does he just like to cook for it? and do you have the same things every week? and if you can't cook. what do you feed the family for breakfast and lunch and dinner on Shabbat? I have been watching so many of your video's that's why all the questions. Is there a difference between you living in Texas and the ones that say live in New York? My Mom worked so she was tried from a long day. So we had breakfast for dinner all the time. and as my kids growing up. they also grew up with it. and now it's just hubby and I we still have it. can you use a crock pot? if you can that would help with making healthy dinners. We have all been there ... the clock strikes 5 pm and we have no idea what's for dinner. That's when breakfast for dinner comes in a lot. : ) Oh one more question. can you work outside of the home?
About half the time we eat at a different time than my husband because he often has meetings in the evening. He does not work out of town. You can check out my conversion story starting here: th-cam.com/video/BfJxZH3rKKI/w-d-xo.html (Parts 2 and 3 are linked in the description box). My husband loves to cook for Shabbat so that is why he does most of the Shabbat cooking. We have the same meal Friday night and have a few meals we pick form for Saturday. I can use a crock pot. We usually have the Moroccan fish and salads Friday night, a meat and salads on Saturday lunch, and for breakfast usually cereal or some kind of muffin or scone if I bake on Friday and there are leftovers :) Thanks for watching!
@@jaroffireflies thank you. I will be watching them. I haven't caught up yet.It's great when a husband loves to cook. My Dad cook alot. My husband is blind so I do all the cooking.oh and driving. haha
Are your eyes gray or light blue, I can't tell?? We lost power for 40 minutes or so. It came back on thankfully. My guess is everybody is using their AC. I didn't need groceries today, I just picked up snacks for my dad and me, our trip to Akron OH, and no we don't have family there, it's just a more interesting city in OH. We're hoping to get a good meal. So I might get to watch your Monday video until much later. I will have my tablet Fire with me, but I don't know if we'll have WiFi or not??
I’m not surprised you are tired at the end of the day. You’re doing the work of 3 people. Is it common for a stay at home/ Homeschool mom to do ALL of the schooling and ALL of the housekeeping , without any help?
What’s a part of your evening routine that you love?
For me it’s putting my little two to bed and saying goodnight to my oldest :) Even just those few minutes of one on one time with them helps us to be so connected 💗
I too like bringen the little to bed.
And after that I like to finish my household and sit in the Garden and listening to a shiur of our Rebbe before going to sleep .
@@anjahorn that sounds delightful!
Davening. Then I like to listen to a class while I sit and do my skincare. Then I snuggle up on the bed with my little dog and watch a little TH-cam or another lecture.
@@mcomeslast that sounds lovely :)
Such sweet children! Wonderful job at following their lead at bedtime. Good to see such advance preparation.
You are so kind thank you 😊
I hear you on the meals. I have finally realised that we are never going to get bedtime sorted if I’m trying to cook every night so I’m going crazy with batch cooking and canning to fill the freezer and pantry with ready-to-go meals we can eat most nights during the week.
I'd like to get into more meal pep stuff and crock pot meals but its so daunting to even start! You are a rock star!

Woops I take that back, our oldest drove down from Portland Oregon to help us buy a car. He is in a Tesla club and wanted to put his two cents in lol maybe like about 20.00 worth of information , it was a good thing because he got the price down a bit since he owns one and has 4 or 5 friends he helped buy ( give his opinion) lol on. No grandkids but we have a sports car… that is not the same but fun to drive during covid we just take little rides on hubby’s days off , we don’t drink but it’s fun going to the wineries, Walk around , take pictures, I’m artistic, I just got a DSL camera, so I’ve been having fun taking pictures of grape 🍇 vines , animals and flowers. Lots to learn, not like an I phone but I’ll admit the I phone 10 takes great pictures.

@@Fran-tl6bx yes, I’ve seen our tribe of many :)
I enjoy watching your videos..your voice is so soothing. Thx for sharing your life with me. Lol I’m a 70 yr.old grams who enjoys your channel.
Thank you so much! I’m so glad you’re enjoying my videos :) I hope you are having a wonderful day!
Now THAT is the way to serve French toast! Growing up, on really hot days in the summer, my Mom would sometimes serve vanilla ice cream topped with cornflakes for dinner. As you can imagine that was always a fav with us kids.
Wow yes that would be amazing!!!! I have never heard of that! Thanks for teaching me something new :)
Just a thought about fitted sheets, if you fold the sheet in half then put one corner inside the opposite corner then the other side then fold again and then put all corners together it should be a square then it should all line up and be able to fold easier. Happy folding 🥰
Thank you for the tips! One of these days I will get it lol
The key word is "should". 😅
Quite a harmonious video. When I was a kid, once in a while, my mother would also make breakfast for dinner -- like pancakes. It was always a fun thing. Nice job!
Thank you Karen! So glad you enjoyed :) My grandma used to do breakfast for dinner and it was always a hit!
Cold water is best way to rinse away flour
Thanks for the tip!
I love breakfast for dinner. It doesn’t matter what your meals are as long as they are eating them. Don’t feel guilty just do what works for your family ❤️
Thank you 💜
I most days have a hot lunch so dishes are and I'm not so tired in the evening. Also a green and Berry smoothie has stopped me wanting something sweet in evening.
Glad the kids enjoyed the dinner!
Absolutely! Thanks for watching Sandra!
Loving your dinner😍- I do that too. 👩🏽🍳Breakfast 🍳🥞🥓🥛☕️🍽 food is good anytime👍🏽😋God bless!
Thank you friend:)
Have you ever considered a drip irrigation hose? It would enable you to just turn the hose on and walk away. It also helps prevent some diseases/fungus issues in plants increasing yields.
I honestly haven’t considered it much. I really enjoy my time in the garden :)
I live in Germany and we usually eat bread for breakfast and dinner and have a hot lunch. So we do breakfast for dinner everyday :)
I recently found your channel, you seem like such a nice and genuine person, love watching your videos!
I really love that! and Thank you for your kind words!!!
You are such a great mother! I genuinely cannot help but smile when I see your interactions with your children. And your son wanting to go into space was so cute!
Aw thank you so much! I really appreciate that :)
@@jaroffireflies Of course! And when you talk about not being one of those mothers who can always put a really fancy dinner on the table, remember that you are only human. And there are a finite amount of hours in the day! You do an amazing job. You cook lunch, you clean, you homeschool! Supermum! 😁
@@michaelurvoy thank you for your kind and encouraging words :)
@@jaroffireflies Your kids won't remember the fancy dinners as much as they will the breakfast for dinner.
I was going to comment the same thing. It's heart warming to see how much you seem to cherish motherhood and your children's experiences.
"I'm going to spend the next three hours telling kids to go back to bed." That's my life too.
Right? Its every night lol
😆😅😅😅😅 that is the story of every house hold. Feel at ease. They remember every thing at the last minute🤣😬
Chanah it depends on how old they are and what kind of routine you have set up.I use to have them run up and down the hall!! unless you live upstates apt. have them do some kind of exercise to tire them out. then start the bedtime routine. read the book('s), brush teeth, drink of water, go potty, bath time there blankie you get the idea.any thing and every thing be for you go into the bedroom ( not in the order I wrote) So when you finish the book they know there is NO getting out of bed.I hope this helps. With Covid there inside the house so much more then normal. they have energy built up. make it fun!
I just love how real and down to earth (and honest) you are in your videos. I work full time outside the house and I get stuck watching these videos and these women prepare suck elaborate meals and I sit here feeling inadequate. You're truly showing real life...so thank you!!
It’s my pleasure! I’m so glad you can relate (it means I’m not alone!). Real life is hard and we are all in this together 💜
Love your videos
Thank you 😊
I get what you say about not being able to do the "normal" dinners every night. I remember talking to a family member about the veggies my kids like and when I told her they were canned most of the time, she jumped down my throat for not giving them fresh veggies every evening 🙄 sheesh. We as moms do what we can. Our kids don't starve AND enjoy the meal. Im going to try that breakfast board.
I hear you! We definitely do our best! And I am sure you are doing awesome :) Enjoy the breakfast board!
I am a newbie to your channel. 😊 I enjoy your personality so much! You are a great mom, wife, and friend! Thank you for sharing your life with us!
Thank you so much! Welcome! I am so glad you are here :)
You are an awesome mom, an inspiration, much love and thank for posting so raw. I struggle sometimes as a mom and it’s nice to see how you manage and prioritize so we can learn. Please post on your prayer book. Recently I have decided to started learning the Torah and to start praying and I’m exciting to see how and where to start.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I show my prayer book and talk about what prayers I say here: th-cam.com/video/iOeUnm-KkFs/w-d-xo.html
The fitted sheet part is sooooo me😂😂😂
😂😂😂
I’m experiencing a very very difficult time in my life, your videos bring me much needed peace. Thank you!
Oh Llisel! I am so glad to hear that my videos are helping you. I pray that you find peace and comfort soon!
I just stumbled upon your channel and watched a few videos and I really enjoy watching you. Your manner and attitude are so nice to see. I am not Jewish, but I live in an area with a large Jewish community and many of your videos have given wonderful insight into the beliefs of my neighbors. I feel that openness and understanding of others beliefs is so important in acceptance of others and being able to live peacefully with our neighbors. Being joyful and committed to one’s beliefs while allowing others to be joyful in their beliefs I believe is important. Thank you for the fun and also educational videos!
Thank you so much for your kind and encouraging words! I really appreciate it! I am so glad that my videos have helped you to better understand your neighbors :) And I love your attitude about life!
My father would ask me every night until I left the house for college if I said the Shema. 💙
Awww
Wow love to find you guys, I'm also jewish and to find women like us on TH-cam is really hard. Your a hidden gem 💎
Thank you so much! I am so glad you found me and that you are here!
Challah makes thee BEST French toast!!
Lol...my son is 16...and the syrup dripping is still an issue for him to this day... it's so good...but oh so messy...lol
Awww!!! Bedtime is so sweet with littles. I used to sing my 2 to sleep when they were babies..now I have a 20 and 16 year old...my 20 year old (when she's home from college) rests her head on my leg and let's me scratch her head (play with her hair) cherish every single moment....it goes by so very fast
I enjoy these videos...they give me motivation to organize and actually start daily routines...especially quiet time with God, so very important and sweet.
Thank you Chana 💜
Aw you’re so welcome! Thank you for being here and for sharing ❤️
Hi! I’m new to your channel and catching up on some older videos. I really enjoy learning about the every day details of Jewish homemaking. I’m fascinated by the orthodox lifestyle and noticed something. Is it just a coincidence that I never see carpeting or rugs in Jewish homes?
Hi Edith! Thank you so much for watching my videos! It is definitely just a coincidence that you don't see carpet or rugs in Jewish homes. I have rugs in all of our bedrooms, and before our remodel we had carpet in about half the house. :)
You must’ve never met Persian Jews!
@@benjaminr6153 LOL right?!
To help with a Texas garden, I am in the next county west of you, mulch mulch and more mulch. It helps retain water, found a new product this year. Compressed coconut fiber, it once was considered a waste product from coconuts. It’s on Amazon, it’s kind of strange a block of brown stuff, I put in a tub and soak it with water, stir, add more water. I have been putting it all my flower beds and potted plants this summer and so far so good. Good luck
Thanks for the tips! I was planning to do mulch next year because the weeds here are just out of control this year.
I know they say you can put pans in the dishwasher, but it'll eventually degrade them.
My favourite part of my evening is taking my son for his bath time routine and when he finally sleeps I can spend an hour or so learning on my interest which at the moment is Judaism and Torah.
That’s so lovely!
My favorite part of the evening is when I get to sit and rest in bed for a few minutes before sleep. I dont sit or lay down hardly all day. The rest is nice❤❤❤
The best!
I love the princess story to prepare for tomorrow. That is a wonderful idea and I'm going to use it.
Yay! So glad you got a new gem from this Amy! Enjoy it :)
Yes I love that so much!
Your children’s sweet voices are so precious. 💜
Thank you :) I totally agree! But I am also terribly biased lol
Amen😊
Bahaha! We just ate "hootenanny" for dinner and its topped with fruit jelly. I love my family but it's just unrealistic to make a big elaborate dinner every night. Thank you for your realism! ❤
Right? There’s just no way I could do a big dinner on top of everything else. Something has got to give! What is hootenanny? The word is familiar but I have no clue what it means?
@@jaroffireflies Its the English word for German pancake or sometimes called a Dutch Baby. It's a stick of butter in a 13x9 melting while the oven is preheating to 425, then mix up 1 C flour, 6 eggs, 1C milk - i add vanilla and cinnamon too. Then when the oven is heated remove the 13x9 with the melted butter and pour the mixed ingredients over the butter and bake for 20mins. Yum!
@@josiesmith4711 Sounds so delicious! Thank you so much for sharing the recipe with me!!!
I really enjoyed this video. We did a lot of breakfast growing up. Mostly when my dad did training exercises-he was in the army. When my boys were little, they are grown men now-we would sit on their bed or in the chair and read books. I miss those days. My oldest reads to his son or did when he was smaller. The good thing is, they all love books. Thank you for sharing your nightime routine with your kids. Hope you have a blessed day!
Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your stories Debbie! I love how the memories lasted so long for you :) how special!
When my son lived at home we often had breakfast for dinner on the Monday night, we both loved it. Your charcuterie board looked fabulous and I adore french toast. It was such a joy to hear you saying goodnight to your son and daughter, very sweet. Have a great day.
What a fun tradition! So glad you enjoyed this video Karen! Thank you for watching and commenting!
I'm really trying to get myself more organized in the new year.
Hope it was useful for you! ❤️
Me too
Praise God no skin cancer today for me🥰 at my check up❤❤❤
Amazing! Glad to hear!
Oh,I love breakfast for dinner.
The egg.
A perfect food!
And,oh my gosh ,French toast,made from challah bread!!!!
That sounds amazing,your beloved family is so fortunate to have such a dinner!
I come from a different culture,a culture that eats pork.
I don’t.
I have tried it,I can’t stand it,my family always were baffled by this!
Maybe I’m a closet Jewish man😂
I say this to make you laugh,not to offend😊
Where did you get the silver cups for the syrup? They look perfect for my clotted cream and butters.
I don’t remember! Ive had them for so long. They are 2 ounce stainless steel cups of that helps on your search!
You can find something similar at the dollar store.
They also usually have them at restaurant supply stores or probably on Amazon under stainless sauce cups
Having a clean kitchen. Not having a dishwasher, just me., i like to make sure both sinks are empty and clean. I wont sleep if my house isn’t all picked up the night. 🙂🙂
Chana you are a busy ima 💜 I do the same thing at night (minus taking care of children lol). Our children are grown but we love it when the gbabies come over. I have to make sure the kitchen is clean for sure! Straighten up everything else also. Great school prep idea too. That would seem to be helpful for morning.
Your charcuterie board turned out soo cute. We like breakfast for dinner sometimes too. Thanks for taking us along. 💜
Thank you so much for your kind words! A clean kitchen is the best thing I do for myself for self care so I wake up with a clean kitchen!
Their little voices!!! 😭 I have four children, my youngest just turned 20! I so miss their little voices….. precious!
My mom worked full time and the only meat, vegetables, mashed potatoes, biscuits or cornbread meal we had was Sunday dinner. Monday through Thursday was leftovers. On Friday we had fish (catholic pre Vatican II) and potatoes. On Saturday she usually made a one pot dish that we ate in the middle of the week. If that was gone then wieners and beans. My sister and I ate it. I love leftovers.
Chana I made dinners but my kids were so picky that they often had cereal or a sandwich( which they made by the way!} your lunches are so nice, and hey I would like to attend your home school!!!
Thank you so much :) my kids can be picky too, especially when I try to make a normal chicken and mashed potatoes type meal lol
Ah I remember reading the chemistry eyewitness book when I was young. It definitely facilitated my love for the subject!
Cheers from Ottawa Canada ❤️
Such a great book!
I laughed at the fitted sheet....at first it looked like you were gonna teach me something...LOL But nope. We fold the same.
🤣 I’m still trying! Every time!
Thank you for giving "a real" view of Orthodox homelife. You also answered one of the "can you people?" with the black lab looking for dinner too.
You are so welcome! Thank you so much for watching Cecil!
A girl after my own heart. Fold roll the sheet. No one will ever know.❤️
LOL Yes!
I loved seeing your nightime routine! My kids also love breakfast for dinner especially pancakes! You're so organized and detailed! I wish I could be like that as well! Much love and I look forward to your next video 🥰
So glad you enjoyed! Pancakes for dinner is my favorite too 😊 My grandma used to do that for me and it brings back such great memories!
Finally catching up on this video (I've started limiting my TH-cam so I have more time with the kids). Love brinner and we've had it 2 nights in a row because I couldn't figure out anything else to eat and I finally got my vegan gluten free waffle recipe right, even my daughter is loving them 🙃
Thank you! Brinner is so fun :) Even two nights in a row! That's just double the fun :)
Do you mind sharing you GF bread recipe? I have to eat GF and store bread is so expensive for that! I tried a recipe at home but it didn’t turn out :/
I don’t mind at all! I made a video about it! Part of it is technique so the video is definitely useful :) Here is the link: th-cam.com/video/0PUzgMR4JtU/w-d-xo.html Happy baking!
I know these are simple tasks but I really do enjoy hearing your routine.
Thank you!
We call it Brinner (breakfast for dinner). I've watched several of your videos and you don't mention your husband. What does he do and does he help with the kids?
Brinner! I’ve never heard of that! My husband is a contractor and he absolutely is an amazing dad who does so much for the kids and for me :)
Thank you for your reply. It's so wonderful to hear he's a hands on dad! I'm enjoying your videos and learning about your religion, since was was raised catholic. When I was in high school, mid-60s, one of the students was Jewish but attened our catholic all girls school. I wanted to attend her synagogue but my parents wouldn't allow it. She was so sweet, we became friends, and she gave a little insight but then they moved.
I put the sponge in the dish washer.
That’s clever!
This was very interesting, I like charcuterie a lot but I’ve never come across a breakfast charcuterie, I’ve only ever done the more classic ones that are things like cheeses, nuts, stuffed grape leaves, fresh herbs and stuff like that lol
I got the idea from a magazine:) it was a lot of fun!
I love the princess story prepping for the next day! I do a princess story as well with a recap her day.
Love that!
I watched one of your videos where you had stated that the Catholic religion really wasn't centered round Jesus is was more centered around God the father. Catholics believe that we have 1 God. God the father God the son Jesus and God the Holy Spirit. 3 people in 1 God. The Holy Trinity. the Eucharist is turned into Jesus' body and blood. Our Eucharist came from the Jewish
Passover celebrated God's freeing the Israelites from slavery in Egypt. The blood of the Passover Lamb on their doorposts saved their firstborn from the angel of death. The Eucharist celebrates God freeing us from slavery to sin and death. That is why Jesus is called the Lamb of God. Since you conversion what is your belief in Jesus?
She’s Jewish. She doesn’t believe in Jesus. Full stop.
As a Catholic she was taught about Jesus that's why I asked the question.
Hi Chana, you should try some freezer crockpot meals. I enjoy the Wads on TH-cam check out her meal prep, many of them could be kosher. I just bought that game you played at the cabin.
Thanks for the tip! I have looked into the freezer crock pot meals and meal prepping etc but I am just not there right now :)
I work in a kitchen, you could try and meal prep. Like meals that could be made a head of time and then frozen. I am not sure as for you being a Jew since you have certain things that you do with your food. You could take one day a week or every other week to do it. But I am not sure if you would have a lot of time with everything else you do in a day. You might find some recipes that you can make double of and freeze the second portion. By the way I love your videos, New subscriber.
Welcome! Thank you so much for subscribing! I’m so glad you’re here! And thank you for your suggestion of meal prep. I’ve tried it in the past and it hasn’t worked out super well for me. I think I just need time good go to meal prep recipes which means more research! I’ll get there :)
Story of the World - I loved her series! My son and I learned so much, and we still read her adult history books now for fun.
She has adult history books?! Oh I need to order those!
I discovered your channel and Instagram. I think a week or so ago and have been watching quite a few of your videos. I just love your perky personality.
Thank you 😊
I thought I understood from your prior video the kosher approach to food, but now I'm confused, haha. I thought you couldn't combine meat and dairy in the same meal or at least on same plates, etc. But this dinner had dairy (egg in the french toast) and meat from the sausage. What am I missing? The french toast looked so delicious!!
Great question! So eggs are considered parve (not meat or dairy), and the sausage was vegan 😊 Sorry about the confusion and thank you for giving me the opportunity to clear it up!
R U learning פרשה?
The big boy is learning תלמוד-גמרא?
I have a homeschooling playlist if you’re interested in how we homeschool
Your little smile at 14:20 is the most charming thing. Incredibly relatable.
:) Thank you :)
I love breakfast for dinner! We do either French Toast or pancakes and eggs.
When I worked, it was essential for me to set up everything for the next day: putting out something to wear, cleaning my kitchen and, if I needed to bring something with me the next day, it went with my purse, at my front door so I would literally trip over it and not forget it lol or straight into my car so there's no excuse.
If I didn't do all of that, my mornings were chaotic which definitely doesn't set the tone for a good day 🤣🤣.
I’m already planning on pancakes and eggs for our next dinner after Shabbat! 🤣
I love your clothes!! Do you mind if I ask where you get your head covering and clothing? I find it difficult to find good clothing that's modest.
Thank you so much Kay! The shirt I wore in this video is Lularoe (the Randy tee). The head covering was a gift I got ten years ago from my sister in law from Israel (I think... its been a while lol). I am hoping to do a video where I film my closet and try on all my clothes and talk about where they are form etc so stay tuned!
Folding fitted sheets are so easy. You have to fold in half, tuck the corners into each other, fold in half again and tuck the corners again, then it folds so easily.
You make it sound so easy 😂
@@jaroffireflies It is after a few practice runs.
@@deborahfont8697 I’ll try again 😊
Going to try that!!!
I think it is so sweet your children call you Ima❤
It took me a bit of getting used to but I have to say I love it 🥰
We have breakfast for dinner fairly often. I have seen Kosher kitchen with two dishwashers so that various dishes don't get mixed together. You seem to have one only. So you can wash a plate that had meat alongside a glass that had milk in it?
Breakfast for dinner is awesome! As for the dishes, I use the dishwasher for my meat dishes. I hand wash my dairy dishes :)
As someone from England I'm so impressed by the garbage disposal - that isn't a thing here really. We have to put a little metal sieve over the plug hole when we wash the dishes so it catches anything that isn't liquid then put the rubbish into the bin manually.
I do that on Shabbat and holidays when I can’t use the disposal :) My husband who was born and raised in Israel and then lived in England for a few years in his 20s tells me that I’m to only reason he has a disposal 😂
@@jaroffireflies It seems like a brilliant invention! It's interesting to see the differences in living even between two somewhat similar countries! I like to think I'd get a disposal if I lived somewhere where they were the norm - such a good idea! 🙂
How do you keep your house so clean that’s the video I need
LOL I am such a naturally tidy person :) So that's the main thing :)
It is a great joy to watch your videos. I am inspired especially about your conversion story. You are doing super fabulous. The french toast looks so yummy. Can I make one tiny observation about the eggs? I hope you don’t mind me explaining. There is kosher procedure to check yolk for blood spot to make sure there’s none. Because blood in the egg makes it not kosher which we can’t use. One way is putting the egg in a clear glass to check from all sides. Another way is after cracking the shell, you put the yolk from one shell to the other half shell back and forth a few times to make sure you check all sides of the yolk to be free of blood spot. Hope this info helps.
So glad you are enjoying! I appreciate your advice but don’t worry, I do check my eggs for blood :)
What a clever idea of a breakfast charcuterie! I will have to try it at our house.
It was definitely a hit! The idea I saw in the magazine also had other breakfast meats and some cinnamon rolls etc. so many ideas you could do with this!
You are so well organized! And a wonderful mom.
Thank you! 😊💜
Folding a fitted sheet is so simple. I managed a hotel and did tons of laundry so we folded flat, fitted and pillow cases all together. And we do king sheets and all in a set.
I think it’s simple once you figure it out. The learning curve is no joke
Beautiful video! Where are your dinner plates from?
Thank you so much! The plates I got from Ikea 🙂
not that im gettin dinner on the table everynight but when i do its by making the components throught out the day makes seem like less work
That’s a fun idea!
If you would be comfortable, maybe consider having domestic help as an option for you. I can understand how you would be tired/exhausted beyond belief. Also, this way, if possible, you can be very well rested up for your husband and such, example, if your husband is coming at 5 PM you can take some rest and then take a shower and put perfume whatever you would like to do and be completely energized and fresh
You did a great job with breakfast for dinner❤🍳🥞🧇. ☺️
Thank you 😊
We do breakfast for dinner once a week. We eat “easy”; sometimes it may be soup and grilled cheese.
Delicious!
Hi again! We had breakfast for dinner at least twice a month. Looks like yours is awesome
Breakfast for dinner is the best!
French toast challah is great. I’m not orthodox, but even I know you are supposed to crack your eggs into a clear glass first. Are you B’aal Tsheuvah? I’m sorry, but the egg thing is very basic.
I know we could be great friends cause I see all those craft goodies in your school room. I have my hands in so many crafts, embroidery,quilts,T-shirt, candles,cards and some others.
Yes! All the crafts! What kinds of t shirts do you do? I want to get into screen printing and would love advice if you’ve tried that!
@@jaroffireflies I’d love to try the screen printing as well but haven’t gotten the stuff yet. Once I can get my husband to get me a craft shed I’ll start getting everything. Right now I have to fight cat hair lol I have a Cricut Maker and Explore Air 2 for vinyl shirts and my embroidery machine shirts.
@@McCreaFamilyHomestead I hear that. I have a cricut also but I don’t really love it for cloth.
Another excelente vídeo. Thank you 🙏
Thank you for watching Daniela! 💜
I am curious as to why some of your cupboard doors do not have handles? I appreciate you taking time and trouble to share with us.
Great question! So we recently redid our kitchen and some of the cabinet doors needed to be replaced. We haven’t put the cabinet pulls on those cabinets yet :) In general there are a lot of little things like that all over my house that need to be finished :)
Do you make separate food for your sons diabetes?
I saw you pour syrup, was it sugar free?
Nope, he eats what we eat. The syrup is regular.
How lovely to see ‘proper’ home schooling! Lets all the lockdown mummies who were talking about how stressed they were coping with homeschooling see that they were doing nothing of the sort!
For dinner take one day a week and do massive freezer meals so you just take the stuff out the night before and let it thaw in fridge. If you have a crock pot you can do dump and go meals where you put everything in a crockpot bag and freeze it then the night before let it thaw and let it cook all day.
Thanks for the advice! I’ve tried stuff like this in the past but my kids don’t love the meals 😕 I am on the search for things like this that they would like though :)
@@jaroffireflies do they like broccoli or cooked spinach? I have 2 awesome meals on my Pinterest board that my family love. They have a white sauce on them and are demanded twice a month lol. Once I find stuff my crew loves I make a double batch the next time and I’ll cook 1 that night and freeze the other for another night. If you would look at my Pinterest boards please feel free to. I’m Robin McCrea on there with a me and hubby ( I have a black shirt on)
@@McCreaFamilyHomestead I will look it up thank you! My kids do like broccoli!!
Do you and the kids eat at different time then your Husband? Does your Husband work out of town a lot? Why did you decide to convert ? does your parents follow your rules? or how do you do that. I'm thinking your parents and siblings are Jewish. on Friday's is it your husband that is to cook for Shabbat? or does he just like to cook for it? and do you have the same things every week? and if you can't cook. what do you feed the family for breakfast and lunch and dinner on Shabbat? I have been watching so many of your video's that's why all the questions. Is there a difference between you living in Texas and the ones that say live in New York? My Mom worked so she was tried from a long day. So we had breakfast for dinner all the time. and as my kids growing up. they also grew up with it. and now it's just hubby and I we still have it. can you use a crock pot? if you can that would help with making healthy dinners. We have all been there ... the clock strikes 5 pm and we have no idea what's for dinner. That's when breakfast for dinner comes in a lot. : ) Oh one more question. can you work outside of the home?
About half the time we eat at a different time than my husband because he often has meetings in the evening. He does not work out of town. You can check out my conversion story starting here: th-cam.com/video/BfJxZH3rKKI/w-d-xo.html (Parts 2 and 3 are linked in the description box). My husband loves to cook for Shabbat so that is why he does most of the Shabbat cooking. We have the same meal Friday night and have a few meals we pick form for Saturday. I can use a crock pot. We usually have the Moroccan fish and salads Friday night, a meat and salads on Saturday lunch, and for breakfast usually cereal or some kind of muffin or scone if I bake on Friday and there are leftovers :) Thanks for watching!
@@jaroffireflies thank you. I will be watching them. I haven't caught up yet.It's great when a husband loves to cook. My Dad cook alot. My husband is blind so I do all the cooking.oh and driving. haha
@@HazelHammond1505 you are so welcome! 💜😊
Are your eyes gray or light blue, I can't tell?? We lost power for 40 minutes or so. It came back on thankfully. My guess is everybody is using their AC. I didn't need groceries today, I just picked up snacks for my dad and me, our trip to Akron OH, and no we don't have family there, it's just a more interesting city in OH. We're hoping to get a good meal. So I might get to watch your Monday video until much later. I will have my tablet Fire with me, but I don't know if we'll have WiFi or not??
My eyes seem to change color based on what I’m wearing 🤷🏼♀️ Sorry you lost power! Hope it wasn’t too inconvenient!
@@jaroffireflies It turned back on in 40 minutes so I didn't lose any food.
@@michellesunshinestar Thats really good :)
How do you manage dishwashing with meat and milk things needing to be separate?
We hand wash our dairy dishes and put our meat dishes in the dishwasher:)
I’m not surprised you are tired at the end of the day. You’re doing the work of 3 people. Is it common for a stay at home/ Homeschool mom to do ALL of the schooling and ALL of the housekeeping , without any help?
I was told to fold them inside out. I don bother trying but you could try that.
Thanks for the tip!
you make keeping house fun !

Potato pancakes are so yum! I might have to make those for dinner soon just for fun :)
