I love how you described her ‘I have been thinking’…. My husband says the same. My ‘I have been thinking’ is often followed by his ‘how much time is this going to take me and how much will it cost?’ 😂😂😂
Watching a little baby, take the onions out of the basket after you put them in brought back so many memories. It’s so hard to get things done with a toddler. You’re doing a fabulous job momma! 😊
Making your own ladder to even get started on the proper project is insane. I have so much respect for people who can build stuff! And your husband has a cool sense of humor, too, his video about running the homestead in your absence was funny, haha.
What a blessing to have a husband who helps you with your projects and tries to help fulfill your dreams. Its also great that you all work together (with the kids in tow too) and happily have another one coming! Im always amazed at all that you accomplish on your homestead.
The way my heart warmed hearing you say "styles change, Beckys gonna want something else, and im gonna happily say yes". A husband and wife who serve each other is a masterpiece. Each bringing their strengths and weaknesses and working together! love it
Omg the scene with Cam saying “Becky came to me and said ‘I’ve been thinking, Cam…’” I almost died laughing and then showed my partner-contractor of 12 years and he got a huge kick of out it, too! We are NOT ALONE!!! lol.
Loving how much Cam has been partaking in videos. It’s lovely to see the whole family and the way you all care for each other so much. It’s a beautiful thing to witness 😊
So excited to see a little one on the way! What do you do when pregnancy fatigue hits? Do you let the garden go and rest? Do preserving projects go on hold for a day or so? Do you delay laundry? What do you do when you don't want to push it? I just got into sourdough baking and I still have plenty of garden to harvest, but those days of fatigue really make me worried about letting it go.
Haha… when I was a teen I would call my dad: “Hello” me: “soooo here’s the thing,” and he instantly knew he was coming to fix my car 😂😂😂. The bedroom looks like a beautiful oasis. And now I’m craving grapes.
🤣😂 When I say - “ I’ve been thinking” even though he try’s to smile - my hubby’s eyes roll back in his head🤣😂 Beautiful bedroom 💚💚💚 Thank You!!! I don’t know why but I totally forgot about fermenting some peppers!!! I have a bunch of nadapenos!!!
Even though Cam tried valiantly to fill the void created during your absence, moms are very hard to replace. When YOU are the mom in question, it’s not possible. The master bedroom looks great with the added elements adding texture and interest. Kudos to you for the inspiration and kudos to Cam for making it a reality.
If this world worked together even a little like your family does, it would be a much better place. Beautiful bedroom, hopefully it will be a great restful refuge for you when things get chaotic. Sorry to hear that you are having pest issues. I'm sure someone will have helpful advice for you.
"when things get chaotic" - look at the size of that family, with yet another one on the way, plus the work they do on the homestead... I'm exhausted just watching them! 😄
We have several type of fruit jams, but grape always gets use first! Cam and Becky, you make a great team and it's great to see the children helping in the garden and the house. God bless y'all and keep growing.
Congratulations on your family addition! How exciting to look forward to another blessing. Your bedroom is beautiful as are all those jars of salsa and dried herbs. Yay for you!
I love how the bedroom turned out 👍 and man those herbs were impressive. Thanks for a fun video 😀 It's fun to see how the kids too pitch in when things needs to be done. Have a blessed week! BTW you baby-bump is so cute 😍
Got a handy suggestion for all that chives. You can make these Korean chive pancakes which is basically uses a ton of chives, a little bit of flour, and some water.
What a great guy. He goes right into making your dream come true. What a guy. My ex would go into a fit when I asked him to build me something for my garden or home. And he was a great handyman too! He had the skills. He was just lazy and hated working. That’s why he’s an ex. I really envy others when I see men helping their spouse around the home or doing exactly what you’re doing. 👏🏼👏🏼 it’s so important to work with each other to achieve a mutual outcome…♥️
I agree. My ex couldn’t be bothered with our house. His mothers took presidency my husband will try. Is not always successful but he tries. God love him
Yes, Cam is a wonderful husband and father. Ans yes there are men in this world that need to step up. But I just couldn’t help but mention that it is much easier to be a great husband to an equally great wife. Not saying you or anyone else wasn’t a great wife, but as a woman I have come to find that when I feel like my man isn’t “holding up his end” I try to ask myself “Am I??” It’s easy to blame the other person and be the “victim “ or the person getting the short end of the stick without looking in to see the role we play. Once I started doing this, my relationships (not just romantic) changed for the better ❤
Burning a couple of candles near where you are cutting onions helps so much to avoid the really bad burning in your eyes. I'm guessing it is burning off the volatile gasses coming off the onions. I have found it works best to keep the candles as near to the onions as you can. Hope it works for you as well as it does for me!
You need a pampered chef corn cutter. I wouldn't do without. Some people say they don't like them without giving them a second try. I have had mine for years and got a second for my girls.
@TheSeasonalHomestead I wish I could show you how to use it. Watch that you don't hurt the hand that's holding the cob with the sharp edges... And keep the handle closer to the cob, to slide across the cob and not tilting it foward to far. Working downward away from you. It takes the kernels off close to the cob, just how we like it.
The bedroom turned out great! I have no idea how you keep up! I put up 6 jars of strawberry applesauce and then 17 jars of regular applesauce this week. I still have lots of apples to process off our tree. But that’s about all the produce my yard provided this year. Oh, I did get about a gallon or more almonds off our almond tree,
Just an idea but except for woody stems, why go through the hassle of chopping all the herbs prior to freeze drying because once dry you can crumble them in your hands or mixer. Love your husband's sense of humor! 😅
I hate painting - two things make it more pleasant. I bought two white long sleeve shirts and one pair of bibs - all white from dickies. I have some matching closed toe white crocs too. Having “pro” paint clothes seems to help my attitude, it also stops me from getting paint on ALL of my clothes. I also got a Graco magnum sprayer and that is a life changer by time I’m going to paint more than 2 gallons at a time.
Hi Becky! I live in France and I don't know where to buy the pot in which you sterilize your pots, with the basket that allows you to hang them in... do you have a link to share to buy it somewhere? thank you for this beautiful video!
Did you take the skins off of the roasted tomatoes when you made the salsa? I see some canners do and some don’t. I’ve started roasting my tomatoes and taking the skins off then when I can my pasta sauce and salsa, butI would much rather keep the skins on.
Do you have a video on preserving only with a food dehydrator? I recently bought a small one off of Facebook marketplace and would love to get some ideas on what to do 😊
No specific video but I have little bits here and there. We make dried apples, fruit leather, and I would dry my tomatoes and peppers to put in soups and stews over the winter.
Do you remember if the discount is better on the Birch mattresses during Black Friday deals. I want to replace all of our mattresses so I’m trying to be patient for the best deal. However, if this is it, I want to jump on it. 😊
Holy cow, we just helped my parents move their sleep number bed. That bed was the smelliest chemical I have ever smelled. I still have a headache. Can't believe anyone would want to sleep on that. Curious if the birch has a smell? We always have a baby in the bed and I'm terrified of all the fake fillers
With the birch mattress the only that I smelled at first was the wool- it’s sort of an earthy smell! But after a day or two it disappeared. The bed is all natural so you get no chemical smell.
A random question :what type of gloves do you use for cutting hot peppers? I use a different brand of gloves and I ending putting my hands in cold milk 😂. Please help 😅because I’m terrifying of cutting hot peppers again 😫…
I saw another gal pull hers through one of the holes in a collander rather than stripping by hand (she did hers really quickly). Would that work for you?

Congratulations on the new one to come. What a blessing! The bedroom refresh looks beautiful!
Cam, you're a good man. Becky loving what you reap from your work and garden. May God continue to bless you all.
I'm not sure if you announced this pregnancy already or if you snuck it into this video, but congratulations!!!!
Omg the scene with Cam saying “Becky came to me and said ‘I’ve been thinking, Cam…’” I almost died laughing and then showed my partner-contractor of 12 years and he got a huge kick of out it, too! We are NOT ALONE!!! lol.

Beautiful herbs, beautiful peppers and beautiful tomatoes❗all those peppers will make a great salsa❗
Yay! Congratulations on the baby coming soon ❤
Love Cam's humor. And the goggles moment was another of my favourites. Thanks for sharing a bit of your work! Much health and joy to you.
Congratulations Becky and Cam! Many blessings!!! Love the bedroom… it looks great! ❤
Oh, I wish I had a freeze dryer! I can't wait to preserve fresh herbs and actually keep their flavor.
Wow, just a plug for Idaho Farm boys. It makes me laugh, cause Cams humor and work ethic are just like my Idaho dairy boy! So blessed!
I love that you are freeze drying your fresh herbs!
Hi Becky, if you blend the soft fermented peppers, it makes a great hot sauce, or 'not hot sauce'. I add it to tortilla soups, beans and tacos.
The gift of herbs would be a joy to get. Bless you and your family.
So excited to see a little one on the way! What do you do when pregnancy fatigue hits? Do you let the garden go and rest? Do preserving projects go on hold for a day or so? Do you delay laundry?

Fermented carrots are really good!
Haha… when I was a teen I would call my dad: “Hello” me: “soooo here’s the thing,” and he instantly knew he was coming to fix my car 😂😂😂. The bedroom looks like a beautiful oasis. And now I’m craving grapes.
Beautiful work Becky and Cam. Riggs is a good helper wherever he is 😊
🤣😂 When I say - “ I’ve been thinking” even though he try’s to smile - my hubby’s eyes roll back in his head🤣😂 Beautiful bedroom 💚💚💚
Thank You!!! I don’t know why but I totally forgot about fermenting some peppers!!! I have a bunch of nadapenos!!!
There is something very satisfying about getting the harvest all ready for winter. Even the small batches make me happy 😊
Lol, Cam is so funny. My husband hates painting also, and he's terrible at it.😂 Congrats on your pregnancy!

The answer to "I've been thinking" is always "That is a dangerous thing"
Cam, next time you want some painting done, let me know.... I LOVE PAINTING! I know, sad, huh! 😀
Your videos are heaven sent. Thank you!
Cam is just the best, love how bedroom turned out just beautifully, I know your enjoying it, can’t wait to see next update.
If this world worked together even a little like your family does, it would be a much better place. Beautiful bedroom, hopefully it will be a great restful refuge for you when things get chaotic. Sorry to hear that you are having pest issues. I'm sure someone will have helpful advice for you.

Great job Cam and Becky you are amazing in all that you do!
We have several type of fruit jams, but grape always gets use first! Cam and Becky, you make a great team and it's great to see the children helping in the garden and the house. God bless y'all and keep growing.
You are a wonderful couple and a wonderful family.
You can guarantee that little step up he made today as a temporary measure will be in use for decades 😉
Totally do the goggle thing too! Salsa recipe please?! I keep striking out with salsa canning recipes, I need a good one.
Salsa recipe is from the book Foolproof Preserving… it’s soooo good!!
"That was dumb"
"Naw it's just your first time doing it!"
Such kind uplifting words to each other 🥹
Beautiful bedroom. Love the color! Amazed by all the work you do. (ALL of Y'ALL)
Happily say yes. Wow!!!
Congratulations on your family addition! How exciting to look forward to another blessing. Your bedroom is beautiful as are all those jars of salsa and dried herbs. Yay for you!

I thought I noticed something different about you! Congrats on the next little.. soon to be family of 8! ❤❤
Cam….you are an awesome husband!! A happy wife means a happy life!!😂
Your Celso looks amazing. I would love the recipe/process. Thank you so much.

Couldn't have worded it any better!
Great job!
Such a great video. The bedroom looks beautiful. Cam is great!
Cam’s shirt matches the paint!🤣
You can also use the herbs in tea

We need a Homestead Channel or a free streaming App
You need a pampered chef corn cutter. I wouldn't do without. Some people say they don't like them without giving them a second try. I have had mine for years and got a second for my girls.
I'll have to check that out!
@TheSeasonalHomestead I wish I could show you how to use it. Watch that you don't hurt the hand that's holding the cob with the sharp edges...

Hellou from croatia....i like yours videos a lot but it's soooo short i want mooore.... best wishes to yours beautiful family❤❤❤
you are so beautiful. congrats on your growing family
The bedroom looks great! Love the green. Love all the herbs too! The rest will go to the animals and the soil I presume?
Yes very little gets wasted here. Anything extra that doesn’t go to the animals gets mulched and added back to the garden 🙏🏼😁 -Cam
Wow, nice makeover. I wonder what other elements of French architecture will be incorporated into your lovely home?
Be strong, be couragous.

Becky’s hair is so long I’m so jealous
I had jalapeños galore. I canned cooked with then I dehydrated a bunch and ground up. Then made a jalapeño salt. Equal parts.
Just an idea but except for woody stems, why go through the hassle of chopping all the herbs prior to freeze drying because once dry you can crumble them in your hands or mixer.
Love your husband's sense of humor! 😅

Hello.
Next time you go to France, don’t hesitate to contact me if you want to visit Bordeaux region. I’m living there with husband and kids.
Love your family so much. And congrats on baby number…6?? lol
I lost count. But I wanted to ask, what color is your bedroom painted? I LOVE it. ❤
Cam is unhinged in this video lmao
I love the paint color in your bedroom. Can you share the make and the color? Thanks for another informative, fun video!
The paint is Benjamin Moore Vintage Vogue.
@@TheSeasonalHomestead Thanks!
Those darn animals. We had rat problems eating our pumpkins and squashes this year.
The walls look nice, but if you get tired of those slats, I think it would Be major to remove them.
Haha, Cam sounds like my husband. 😂

YOU NEED TO GET A DOG ASAP😅 keeps the animals away . I had raccoons destroying my raised beds . Got a dog . Problem solved .😊
Can I borrow Cam to do some honey do's😂
Did you dehydrate or freeze dry the herbs? Is there a difference when you use them as a spice or tea?
Freeze dried and they can be used for tea either way!

What color of green is the paint in your bedroom?
Benjamin Moore vintage vogue is the paint color
Did you put oxygen absorbers in with the herbs?
No, we used a vacuum sealer to get oxygen out.
Bedroom paint color?
I think that’s in another home tour she did! 😊
Please a make a video and let your kids edit it!!!!
Can I ask which salsa recipe you use?
Yes, I would like to know too!
