Suburban homesteading is so important. Everyone can’t be a farmer and we wouldn’t even want that to be a goal of self sufficiency or prepping, but if most suburban homes grew gardens our world be a kinder and safer place! Great job showing a manageable life for most people ❤
Just started watching you. My kids are grown and married. I think about you a lot because of what has happened. you are doing an excellent job Bri. I ran a daycare for 20 yrs and understand many children. Your peace from the Lord seems to be what sustained you. As a retired, Christian woman I am still learning so much from you. You share many nuggets of practical wisdom. I’m praying for you and your sweet family…❤️✝️🙏🏽
Without the farm chores it is giving you the time to settle and organise your family. Having a basic routine works well with kids and always leaving space for adding something interesting and suprising. You are doing a super job Bri!! Impressive lady
You are a beautiful family. You are glowing and growing into yourselves. You are an inspiration. Beautiful role model for your kids and others. Thank you for sharing your stories and life with us.
I'm a retired middle school teacher, still teaching part-time at a preschool in California. As a mother of 3 and grandmother of 7, I applaud you for your ingenuity. Your support of routine is critical. It was fun to meet you yesterday and now be a part of your TH-cam audience.
Bri, such a joy to see the twins thriving! You have such a tender soul that shines through in your videos. It is an answer to prayers that you are able to work at night, and still be a stay at home Mom. Your resilience, in the face of all the challenges, is inspiring. I pray God continues to bless you, and your children, and Arthur, and also everyone helping you (especially the grandparents). Thank you so much for sharing your grateful heart. It has helped me look for more reasons to be grateful in my own life. During the gardening season, my prayers flow abundantly... your openness has been a blessing, helping my heart to find peace and gratefulness away from the garden.
These videos are very instructional. They are helpful to understand exactly what you are doing on a daily basis. I feel so much respect for you Bri. I am praying daily to God for you to have strength and energy and be successful with your precious beautiful children.
All of your children feel so nurtured, and it is obvious. I especially loved seeing you and Brighton (sp?) having your time with the Lord. Joyful is so much like you.
I had a child care business for 19 years. I had my two children and four more most times. I appreciate how much work it can be however, they went home in the evening and I had a husband to help when he wasn't at work. You're doing so awesome Bri, it is evident your children love you very much and that is priceless.❤
Hi Bri, I came over from Three Rivers and am so encouraged by your gentleness and affectionate love you show. I’m a single mom trying to get started homesteading while working from home and homeschooling two young children. I’m praying for you and am thankful God used you as an example to me as I adjust to the new circumstances in my life. May His grace be upon you and yours.
Life is really quiet now that mine are grown but this makes me remember the sweetness of 'mushy' children before they get busy with their day, making their first morning connection with Mom. Very sweet.
Bri, I can't even explain how it fills my heart with gladness seeing how healthy, beautiful and smart Royal and Truly are. I prayed so much for them when they were first born. Prayers were answered!
Such a lovely video thank you so much. Its a blessing that you dont have animals to care for at this stage in your life. You have so much to do as it is and the hugs you give your darling kids in the mornings will stay with them forever. Such a lovely dear mother you are Bri. xxxx
“Know who you are, where you are, and work with that”…. Perfect! Too many younger moms with littles compare themselves to others and feel defeated or less than. Love yourselves, love your families and be thankful for the small things. Thank you Bri, another great video with encouraging words. Blessings.
This was great. I got so many ideas. I have 8, aged 8 and under with two sets of twins. It was great to hear your feedback on mornings after twins, it was very validating. Both sets of my twins are 2 and under I haven't gotten back to a good rhythm yet. ;)
I admire yours so much as I was single mom of three over 35 years ago and I found it hard.How do yours carry on and I had one set of twins and you have two.can I ask how you are a single mom and why Bri is?.lts not easy to be on your own but sometimes you’ve no choice.xxx❤
No matter what you do it's always fun to watch you & your kids,I look forward seeing what video you have next ,you make your routine look so relaxing💛😊
Bri you are so wise. I love that you have created routine so your children know what to expect. It's wonderful how you know that you need a slower pace in the morning after having worked at night and you give yourself that. That is awesome! Plus, every quite moment with those babies is precious as they will be running in the other direction before you know it.😊
What a treat to start my day with yall. As a newly single mom, I am gleaning from you and am so encouraged by you. Weekends are hard. Sadness sets in as the busyness of the week doesn't keep me distracted. But this brought joy to my soul. Thank you ❤
Would it work for you to bake for a large family or an elderly neighbor? Or visiting a nursing home? Anything that gets you thinking of helping someone else might help. I’m sorry you lost your marriage.
@@cynthiafisher9907 thank you so much. I've been making bone broth for cancer patients and this has given me something to focus on as well. And helping a young momma with 2 babies. It really does help to focus on blessing others. You are spot on❤
Sounds allot like our routine❤ we do have a small farm, so animals have to get fed in the morning as well. But we love you and are totally inspired by your family
I too enjoy the slow days without many activities and expectations. I have two girls and our days look very much like yours; with less kids lol. We homeschool too. One of my girls is a 1 year old who still nurses frequently through the night so I am VERY thankful for the slow days.
I love seeing all your children, each one is so special. Of course, who can forget Wilder, he's such a fun and funny boy! I can even tell the twins apart as Truly just has that 'girl' face. I admire your loving patience as always🌺💜🌸
Thanks for sharing My boys only 2 are grown up and I'm waiting for grandchildren I can wait it's ok because of women like you sharing your busy life with me Thank you I'm so glad you are back it's a good way for you to have support 💞and for other moms for support too Ideas to get through the day :)
Bri you amaze me. I only had 4 children at home when they were younger and my oldest 2 helped a lot, and I was exhausted by the end of the day. Lots of love and hugs to you and your children.
I love how affectionate your kids are with you. Warms my heart and makes me think of when my daughter used to kiss my cheek before she left the car to go to school. Such a special thing! She now has two sons of her own. 🥰
Outside is very important. I just saw a youtube about studies on increasing nearsightedness because kids developing eyes don't get enough outside time.
I love this video. I am so happy for all of you at the closeness all of you enjoy together. I can feel the adjustments the family experiences as you settle into your home and life. Every one of you does their part and it works. You include the children in the goals of a well run family and household. Godspeed as you journey along. God love you all and He does.
After the babies started to get older ,I remember My Mum about once a month would have a Family meeting . She would go through the things that She expected of us, to get along and bond . We were 7 kids with 1 Her. There were a lot of things we had to do that other Kids didn't. We occasionally needed reminding of this. It wasn't easy but it had to be this way in order for us to make it! You have a great bunch ,you are Blessed ❤️. JO JO IN VT 💞💨❄️☃️
My sweet Brianna I believe I am the most grateful person to have you in my life. You have given me the difference ways to look for my happiness. Love you so much from this old 65 year old grand ma to be.
Lovely video. I felt myself relaxing some. 😎 I’m glad you have that lovely large home for you and your children. Don’t worry about the noise. We can hear you and the sound of a busy home filled with the voices of children is actually a sweet sound. 😊❤ Have a great weekend! Oh, and SO happy to see your channel growing! 🎉
I appreciate that! All my kids are young and our mornings are slow. I beat myself up about it sometimes, but you are right I am productive in the afternoon and the kids and I need these slow mornings at this point in our lives.
Love the truths that kids love structure and knowing what is expected. So many young families don’t think that kids should have any responsibility for themselves or to anyone else. 🙏♥️🙏♥️🙏
Thanks for sharing your wisdom & tidbits of your morning. I love how each child finds their time to snuggle with mom & help with the littles! You’re doing awesome! Blessings to all🤗💜🇨🇦
I totally agree Bri about structure and when my son and daughter were toddlers between 3 and 4 they were diagnosed with Autism and routines was a must and when an appt. or business was going to be a interruption but we survived.
I agree routines are so good for kids. I loved when you had your farm but I am glad that you get to have more time to just be focused on the kids from where you are right now. I love that you kiss your kids and they are cool with it no matter their age. I kiss and hug my 16 and 14 year olds daily and they aren't weirded out by that. Keep it going.
Good only gives us what we can handle. Its a blessing to have a slower morning rhythm. You have lived the busy early morning farm life with children. God knew that would be too much for you now, alone with 7 children. You are in a different season of life. You are raising a beautiful family. Peace and blessings.
I just have to say, content aside, the love you show and receive with/from your children makes everything else secondary. As long as God and you are their constant, the rest will happen. ♥ loved seeing the calmness surrounding the tiny moments.
When I have banana bread or any kind of fruit loaf that has been frozen, and then thawed, I will slice it and put it underneath the broiler in the oven to sort of toast it and then put some butter on it… Yummy yummy!
Hey Bri! I absolutely love your channel and your energy! I'm a first time mom and you inspire me a lot with all that you do and the peace you carry ❤ I love what you said about slow mornings. I'm definitely in a season where we are enjoying slow mornings and I am in love with it!
I would love for the kids to have outdoor time in the morning before school, but I have a hard time reigning everyone back in when it's time to start school. Maybe we just need to do it a little more consistently until it's more of a habit. Loved seeing a morning in your home, Bri. ❤
Sweet, beautiful Bri… Thank you for your raw, honest videos which chronicle your daily journey..You are so encouraging with your positive , upbeat , determination and purpose! God bless you little sis!❤
You are so sweet loving and patient!!! I’m a great grandma so I haven’t had littles for 50 years I was very young but I wonder if I was as calm as you are😅
I love that you allow your teen to focus on her own schoolwork instead of making her focus on babysitting all the time. It's always great to get help from older kids from time to time, but it's so important that they have enough time to focus on their own goals/education/interests, etc. This is such a great way to do it. ❤
I love that you are confident in who you are and what season of life you are in. You are a wonderful mother and a wonderful person all around. You have a lot of wisdom.
Suburban homesteading is so important. Everyone can’t be a farmer and we wouldn’t even want that to be a goal of self sufficiency or prepping, but if most suburban homes grew gardens our world be a kinder and safer place! Great job showing a manageable life for most people ❤

I agree! I am 50 and she inspires me!!!
you are in for a treat. she has years of vlogs here starting more than 6 year ago I think.

Joyful is such a loving young woman. I see her nurturing the babies too. All of your children are great!
I admire the stability you are providing your children. I see your love. I see your nurturing. I see your sacrifice.
You are a beautiful family. You are glowing and growing into yourselves. You are an inspiration. Beautiful role model for your kids and others. Thank you for sharing your stories and life with us.

You're not doing so shabby yourself #1 best selling book on Amazon?? Is that right? Whaaaat?😊
I just love the way your children help you out with the babies and with each other! What a blessing they are, just as scripture states!
All of your children feel so nurtured, and it is obvious. I especially loved seeing you and Brighton (sp?) having your time with the Lord. Joyful is so much like you.
I'm so inspired by your loving patience taking time for each child. You amaze me. God bless you all.

@@cynthiafisher9907 ❤
Love you Bri! You’re awesome!!!
You are super mom,and a great encourager
Brightens little head nudge with love on mama was super sweet!
You are a beautiful strong mother. You are your children’s hero remember that.
The moment they wake up and when they go to sleep, it you they see.
❤️
I agree with your routine statement. I thrived as a teenager when there were rules and routines.
I recently found your channel a week ago & I am loving all your content! ❤
So realistic & relatable!
Welcome!
Sounds allot like our routine❤ we do have a small farm, so animals have to get fed in the morning as well. But we love you and are totally inspired by your family
You are so organized.
Enjoyed your video today as I always do! 😊❤
You are one busy momma. May the Lord give you what you need always. ❤️🙏🏻
Keep going, you are doing an amazing job with your children...wish all children had the same love, care and respect as you shower on yours.
So much love and team work .
Aww! I remember those baby snuggles. Miss those!
I too enjoy the slow days without many activities and expectations. I have two girls and our days look very much like yours; with less kids lol. We homeschool too. One of my girls is a 1 year old who still nurses frequently through the night so I am VERY thankful for the slow days.
We were the same way in just raising one child!! We had routines, expectations, and always let her know the plans to help her with transitions!!
Seems like a very good routine you have and so wonderful all the children help. Have a great weekend ❤️
I love seeing all your children, each one is so special. Of course, who can forget Wilder, he's such a fun and funny boy! I can even tell the twins apart as Truly just has that 'girl' face. I admire your loving patience as always🌺💜🌸

You and your children are awesome!
Goodness!! Those sweet babies are so happy and just have an air of being so loved. You're doing good work, mama!
You are such a big inspiration and help for me Bri❤! Keep the videos coming❤👏!!!
Great being an example for your kids and for the rest of us out here trying to do life!
Love the truths that kids love structure and knowing what is expected. So many young families don’t think that kids should have any responsibility for themselves or to anyone else. 🙏♥️🙏♥️🙏

P.S. I loved Teaching Textbooks for math for my kids too. I am glad you also mix up the curriculum.
BRI bacon cookie sheet oven! you will love it
I won't go back to frying it on the stove! No more bacon grease splattered on my clothes and arms!

I'm so happy you're posting again!. Sending love and prayers to all of you xxxx
I feel like I am learning so much about parenting from you. Thank you
Joyful has become an awesome little woman😊
Bri, you are doing a great job with your Children and taking care of your House.
May ELOHIM bless you and your family abundantly.
Have a blessed weekend. Much 💕✝️

I love watching your videos. So much inspiration. I am also a homeschooling momma of 7. Ages 1-14.
Mom of 5 here. Mine are mostly grown now. Still thank you for the great reminders!!
As someone who is going to start homeschooling this year and going from working this was wonderful to see! I love the routine ideas!!
I just have to say, content aside, the love you show and receive with/from your children makes everything else secondary. As long as God and you are their constant, the rest will happen. ♥ loved seeing the calmness surrounding the tiny moments.
I was just standing here making the kids lunch and wishing for you! Yay!
I definitely relate to the slow start--my business is in the afterschool hours to the evening so mornings are for snuggles!
I came over from Jessica at Three Rivers Homestead! 😊
Very well said about the kids needing to be informed. It is a massive game changer for my kids.
When I have banana bread or any kind of fruit loaf that has been frozen, and then thawed, I will slice it and put it underneath the broiler in the oven to sort of toast it and then put some butter on it… Yummy yummy!
I only have 2 little ones and I feel like I am tired lol😂 I need to get it together!! You inspire me to do better
Hey Bri! I absolutely love your channel and your energy! I'm a first time mom and you inspire me a lot with all that you do and the peace you carry ❤ I love what you said about slow mornings. I'm definitely in a season where we are enjoying slow mornings and I am in love with it!
Really enjoyed the video!🙏💕🙏

I admire you, mama.
You are so busy Bri I honestly don’t know how you do it!
Sweet, beautiful Bri… Thank you for your raw, honest videos which chronicle your daily journey..You are so encouraging with your positive , upbeat , determination and purpose! God bless you little sis!❤
Good morning Bri and family.
You are so sweet loving and patient!!! I’m a great grandma so I haven’t had littles for 50 years I was very young but I wonder if I was as calm as you are😅
