I think what you're doing with your children and what you're teaching them in the process is absolutely priceless. Our children thoroughly enjoy being in the garden with me and doing things around the house. Don't let any negative comments get you down. You are an amazing mother and you have an incredible family. I love watching your videos because you're always so peaceful. Thank you. ❤️❤️❤️
More people should have the kids in the garden with them, you get to spend time with with them, your teaching them, make it fun.
My daughter is a Montessori teacher. The philosophy is that work is play and play is work
People have to realize that the videos you produce are just a tiny glance into your day. You always stick to your theme of growing, canning and preserving. Of course the kids are part of that. You have a great balance. We see less than percent of your life, some people just don’t get that. I really appreciate the way you explain and share the things you do.
I never understand why people think chores are boring for little kids. My sisters kids loved helping me clean my apartment and doing things like that. Kids learn by doing.
Don’t let people’s negativity get you down. I grew up in a family of 6, four kids, and we did plenty of fun things with Mom and Dad but we also had chores and helped out because it was fun. So many children don’t get to experience this lifestyle because their life is school, sports, and and devices. I see it at the school I work at. They drop things on the floor and leave it there, they don’t know how to do basic things like tying their sneakers. Your doing a great job with your children. Be proud Mom and Dad! ❤️
Do you use the flower head?
My thoughts exactly. So annoyed at those who asked that, like their life is so much better for them - big fat NOT.
Always a treat for me to watch the progress of the garden & kids. Yes, always relaxing & edu. Kids today have too many stresses. And learning to CARE* is a task equal to taking responsibility. This allows great development instead of guidance through a computer screen. Which of course does has it's place.👍🥰🏜️
WHAT A BLAST! My grandchildren - like their Dad - grew up in the garden with us, helped prep meals and did laundry. They are SO self-sufficient now in their 20s and I am pleased I had a little to do with that. YOU GO, GIRL! 😊
People are amazing. It is sad they can't see the joy in your children's faces as they go through their days!
The little boys picking the berries and eating them along the way, was priceless. My children , who are 35,37,38 still laugh about doing that when helping mom pick strawberries, beans, or tomatoes. These are the blessed memories that stay with them, of being with mom.

I have 3 little grandsons your boy's age and they love coming to Nae Nae's house and helping in the garden and watering flowers. They are a joy and I absolutely love spending that time with them. They are learning good life skills and they enjoy every minute. I think you are doing an amazing job!
The extra things done for children melts my heart. ❤ I'm sure Gabe is happy.
Gardening is fun! You are doing a wonderful thing for your children. They learn by watching you and making chores feel like play ensures they will continue this habit as they grow older.
My Daddy use to say 'I'm Blessed with work.' He viewed work as a blessing and made work fun. We were designed to work and happiest when we are busy. Your children are happy and wonderful helpers.
Your children look like they are having so much fun and bonus they are learning too. I think this is so important especially since most kids seem to live in front of electronics these days.
My granddaughter is 3. She loves to help us cook. She enjoyed helping me plant my onions.
Jessica you and hubby are great parents. Do your own thing and do not allow others to dictate to you. The little boys are just fantastic and remember that not only are they having fun but you are also imprinting on them the VALUE of gardening and foraging. I am now 80 years old and when I was young not only was I required to do the dishes along with my two sisters but my mother also took the time to instruct me how to cook. I also took cooking in school and in those days that was unheard of but a great way to meet girls as well. I also got perfect marks for my cooking skills. Mother was so proud of me. When I retired I thought this retirement would be ever so boring with just the garden to tend. So I sat down and had a long talk with myself. I concluded that I knew how to cook so lets do it. It is a billion times more than I can eat in a lifetime so I give most of things away to needy folk in my neighbourhood and now I also have the love and friendship of folk I might never even know. If I require some assistance for a project all I have to do is make a phone call and many people will show up. I am truly blessed. Oh yes congratulations on the baby. Children are a blessing. Great work for your oldest in his baking. Even if he only bakes his future wife a birthday cake, he will be truly blessed.
God Bless always Joe Scott Muddy Dog Ranch
Thank you for the encouragement, Joe ❤️
Jessica, your videos are such a highlight of my week. It is so heartwarming and educational to learn along with your children. Such a beautiful family. The wild dogs were scary. How do you and Adam deal with the fear of the dogs while the children are playing outdoors?
Thankfully our whole property is fenced in. We also have three livestock guardian dogs that patrol the property and would never let one of those dogs near our children.
Love your shares with us! Your children are exceptionally blessed to have so many siblings, a mother that gets to stay home and raise them, and learning all these life skills. Please continue the shares. GOD bless
While it may be true that you repeat some of your meals, I don't find any of them boring. I like seeing the dedication you put into every meal you make for your family, hearing your thoughts about things and I especially love seeing your kids' reactions as they eat. I LOVE Gabriel's shirt with the cat on the computer! I'll have to look for that online and buy it.
Me too
I received a survey from youtube asking me if this video is a good recommendation for me. Of course I said yes.
Joy in homemaking, and helping out around the house or farm is some of the greatest joys in life! I think it’s beautiful to find joy and fun in the very normal things in life. You are SO good at teaching that. Being together-being smart & useful-making someone’s day better! Not always seeking after the next big event or thing to do. Contentment is a prize! You are one blessed momma 🩵
Jessica, you and Adam are doing a great job raising great kids!!! Don't let anyone make you think otherwise! I am a mother/grandmother/great grandmother. I follow several large families on TH-cam that homeschool and homestead. I am 100% more impressed with those families (yours included) than the ones whose kids sleep half the day, play video games all night, demand the best shoes, clothes, etc and give ZERO back to the family unit. They have total meltdowns if asked to carry their dinner plate to the sink! Most kids now are lazy, entitled little brats being created by their own parents! You are raising children to be responsible adults. Life isn't just about "fun" but your children seem perfectly content, well mannered, and eager to contribute to their family. I am very, very impressed. I canned 42 pints of pickles and 25 pints of tomato relish. Shredded and froze a lot of zucchini for zucchini bread and zuchini/yellow squash for making quiche. Canning potatoes tomorrow and some cowboy candy another day. Taking a short break to go on vacation then back at it. It is hard but very rewarding work indeed. Have a great day!
Oh, the little man ,marching so proudly with the scapes and the bowl, precious:))))
I'm sorry I just had to pause this video to tell you don't let these keyboard warriors get to you. It blows my mind the disrespect some people will spew because they can.. since their hiding behind that keyboard. You do you boo.. Don't apologize for living a wholesome and godly life and raising your children the way you do. Cause let's be honest here.. Most of the negative comments come from jealously anyway!! I really enjoy your channel and have just recently binge watched most of your videos and have enjoyed them very much!! =)
I would like to extend a Happy Father's Day to Adam....a little late. I hope he is feeling better from his summer cold. Your gentle attention and elderberry care is encouraging to witness.
My takeaway from this video was your precious attention to your family. Elderberry. Scape snack jars. Berry hunting and snake scouting 😂.
Such beautiful memories.
Have a glorious week!
I’m the same home is fun for me, I worked to raise my sons as a single mother, now this time of my life my garden, yard sewing and canning is so satisfying for me.
The time spent doing what you are doing is so awesome and they will remember for years to come
One of my daughters educated me on the use of Elderberries for my autoimmune health issues, about 4-5 years ago, since then I have tried taking it every day. She makes hers while I buy mine as the vegan version. Soon I'll make my own as well.
I recently learned about the use of garlic scapes, and my little ones love to watch them growing in my garden. We have enjoyed them in different recipes, but I didn't know we can eat them raw. As long as there's life, there are lessons to learn.
Your boys are so cute. I used to eat fresh berries last time I was able to pick some at 11 yrs old. Once I was told I could eat them, I think I ate more than I collected in my basket for pies. I don't eat the frozen ones in the store and basically only eat strawberries from the stores. Fresh from the bushes is much better. I hope to visit a farm this summer.
I love to see the canning process.💖💖
Thank you for sharing. 👍🏽
So sweet that your boys help you. It's good for them to learn all of these things for their future. They sure looked like they were having fun. 😊
For the challenge, we did an inventory of all our freezer and pantry. This created inspiration for a week of great meals.
As to having fun, I see your "3 little stooges" having a great time with Mom in the garden!! I am always impressed with your creativity using your garden. Happy Birthday to Benjamin 🎉❤ . I hope Adam is feeling better and wish him a Happy Father's Day! See you mid week my dear friend!!
You are a blessing to watch and see your beautiful family. Sweet Hannah is getting so big
Some of my fondest memories as a child was helping my grandmother in the garden. I loved it. Sadly some didn’t have those experiences and perhaps that’s why they don’t realize what fun is to children.
I think the outdoor fun is the best! My grandchildren love nature walks and gardening. When kids grow up expecting to be entertained, I think they expect bigger and better venues as they get older. They don't learn to entertain themselves. When you do go on special trips, they are going to remember and treasure those memories.
People who didn’t experience a farm, and/or a garden growing up don’t understand the adventure, and the joy that can be had just by being outside. The garden, the outbuildings, the fields, the woods there’s so much to explore. Nature provides so many wonderful ways to learn and have fun.
Jessica, thank you for sharing these additional videos with us. Please know how very appreciative we are to have them. Your 3 little boys look like they'd be so entertaining. God bless you and your family.
This is the best way to teach the value of the labor. Congratulations! Your children are fortunate
Your kiddos are so lucky that you're letting them help you. I'm grown and still love to harvest stuff. I always have. You're not only teaching them how to grow stuff but you're also teaching them to be responsible and amazing. I loved watching them help you
Seeing those happy children in the garden with you is so wonderful. Your videos are always a blessing to me.
Thank you for sharing your wisdom and life moments with us. It was so sweet and precious to see Gabriel holding and showing little Hannah the chickens while you were picking mulberries from the tree🤍💗
You are such a well oiled machine! I couldn’t agree more with you about having fun, what’s more fun than spending time accomplishing things with the ones you love! Thank you for sharing all your tips and ideas, you’ve definitely helped me use more waste less!! Blessings
Happy Sunday Morning!! Love watching you all in the garden, what a special time! Your oldest, I believe Gab, is quite the young man, caring so sweetly for his baby sister. So cute! Have a great day, Jessica and family!!
Hi Jessica, we love watching your videos! We look forward to them every week. Learning so much from you. You are a great Mom! The kids look like they are having so much fun and learning too! Hope Adam feels better soon! 😊
Love the way you are teaching your children to be responsible. Don’t ever let people’s negativity ruin your day. That’s the kind of people that has such bratty kids that workers has to deal with out in public.
Blessed Sunday to you and everyone and prayers Adam recovers soon. My mother loved mulberries and we would pick them and just eat them or she’d put them in a cake. I haven’t had luck growing garlic but canning those scapes (sp?) looks wonderful! Teaching children about nature and gardening is a gift and a blessing. Your children are blessed to have a mom and dad like you and Adam. Another wonderful video - thank you!
Awww loook at the baby!!!😍😍😍 all them boys!!😩 so adorable and such good helpers
Love seeing all of your little ones helping you.
I wonder what they consider “fun”, when I was a kid I used to love digging for worms, making mud pies, rose petal perfume etc free and fun when you are a child ❤
I got a little teary-eyed seeing you and your boys. Very sweet!!
Awww what sweet helpers you have 😊😀. Definitely nothing wrong with having fun while spending time outside in the family homestead 👍🏻👍🏻🕊🕊
Your little boys are so darling picking the berries with you.
The childern will remember all this time picking berries and all the rest more than what you bought them.
I remember making and baking cookies and homemade noodles with my mom more than what we got for Christmas.
When she passed that was the thing I missed the most, oh and we cut each others hair so I did miss that too.
You can make a custard ice cream base with coconut milk. The texture would improve, you could use up eggs, and the added nutrition would be a benefit. Maybe a project for David? Mulberries are such a delicacy!
❤Your boys are so sweet! Great job, mama! What a fun childhood 😊
I used to pick mulberries when younger, we lived new mulberry bushes, I miss doing that
So nice to see washing (laundry) hung outside to dry. In New Zealand that’s still something that happens daily. All I seem to see is videos from USA it’s all about washer and dryer. 💚💚 the freshness from outside drying is the best
My dad always let us know what we could eat when we go in the woods I still remember what he would tell us.
This is FUN! Some of my favorite memories are doing things in the garden/yard/fields with my siblings and parents. These are wonderful opportunities to bond and learn so many lessons of life. A parents job is to help children become wonderful individuals that will contribute to society. In the current society of "self" and selfishness... (me me me me people), it is wonderful and so refreshing to see parents and family that are teaching children responsibility, togetherness, and learning. Way to go!!! Good job Jessica!
I did the same thing when picking blueberries, strawberries and raspberries. I ate mor than I saved. My Mother never became angry! She said it was healthy for us and regardless of how many we saved, she never minded. It was always fun going with Mom…we got to eat berries! And of course, help her in our own way…Lol…
May God bless you and your children all of your days. Keep up the great work I love watching
I made echinacea tincture and mullein tincture and it helped both of us thru Covid which was a blessing because he has COPD.
I saw your hula hoe from the garden tour last week and IMMEDIATELY went to Amazon to order one. I got one with the adjustable handle and omg the difference my weeding had been. It’s been a quick work. Thank you for sharing that.
You are so inspiring. I would love to grow my food. We had a big garden growing up and mother canned. I remember our little house being 100 degrees when she was canning. We would weed the garden morning and mom would take us swimming in the afternoon. Something we loved doing was going swimming when dad got home after dark. That was always so fun. People can’t imagine having fun without spending hundreds of dollars. And they get their kids as obsessed with money and material things as they are. And they grow up to be completely stressed out, like their parents. Doesn’t sound fun to me.
Congratulations on the progress of your new home. Jalapeno peppers will turn red when they ripen. Most peppers will turn red as they ripen. The grey zucchini look good. Your garden look great, the plants are growing like wildfire.
You are superwoman, Jessica! ❤ You can just see that a true love and following of our Creator is what drives your lifestyle and commitment to your family and honoring the land. Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us. 🙏🏼Happy Father's Day to your husband! You all are so blessed!
A Happy Father’s Day to Adam 🌷As always a peaceful video, full of valuable information
Thank You🌻
You and yours have a Blessed one also
What kids don’t like playing in the dirt but the quality time you spend with the boys will be memories they will have a lifetime. You are an amazing mother please don’t let anyone suggest otherwise ❤
One of your videos popped up a few days ago in my recommended, I am SO grateful!! Your channel is absolutely amazing and you are such an amazing mother and wife. The children are so blessed to have so much experience in gardening and home chores, etc. with a loving mother. Did you have a similar childhood and grow up gardening or did you learn to garden and take care of animals later in life? If so, how did you learn? I'd love to see more videos of you talking about parenting, you are very inspiring. All natural ice-cream!! AMAZING! Thankyou so much for doing what you do! I also recommended your channel to my friend. Love from Australia.
Loved seeing you and the boys working/playing hard. Garlic scapes look amazing. Thanks for starting off my week.
I have really enjoyed this video. It's great teaching you children to do these thing. I love watching this.❤️
Nice content, Jessica. Love to see the kids in the garden. Some of my best memories are "helping" my Dad in our garden. Learned more than I realized about growing things and about life.
Canning season has begun here, too. Some of my children are canning for the county fair. I just wish it weren't so hot here.
God bless you and the family! Prayers for speedy recovery for Adam.
Of course they are having a blast!! We had a U-Pick Strawberry farm for years and bus loads of students would come on field trips to spend a day on the farm! We loved their squeals of delight! When our own daughters were grown, they helped us run it and brought along our young grandkids who loved it! Your yard is like Disney World to them!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing, Jessica! The part of your video where you said that people ask you what you do for fun, I immediately thought to myself, being in the garden and harvesting, planting and just looking at the progress is fun!! I agree with you, it's a lot of fun! And if I can encourage you, you are doing a wonderful job! I'm learning a lot from you and I appreciate you sharing. Thank you! ❤ God bless your week! And believing the Lord touches Adam with His healing hands. Oh, and if you have a chance and are able to, I was wondering if you are able to share the meals that you eat being on GAPS that is different from what you make for your family. I recently got the book, getting through it, but I find it's just a small challenge making myself something different sometimes. I'm not fully on it but have just cut out all grains for now until I learn the rest of it. Thank you, again!
Awesome video. I think your food preservation videos are my favorite, then there are the recipes and watching the children grow, oh well my favorite is the Sunday upload, always educational and interesting.
I came across you through living traditions and to see your in Ohio like myself I love following Ohio farmers to learn from I’m in Cincinnati
What you're teaching your children is amazing. Those memories will last forever and help them become better parents when they have a family of their own. Thank you for sharing
The children are learning so much! Your great!💗💗
Love this!!! These little boys bring back so many memories for me!!! We had our 5 boys with us all the time. God sure blessed us when he gave us our boys.
I love to learn from you sweet lady!! Amazing how you find a use for your food. I had never even heard of scapes until you! God bless you and your beautiful family!
Jessica, if you add the raw honey after the elderberry tonic has cooled down to "just warm", you will keep all the beneficial nutrients as well as the antimicrobial and antibacterial properties that diminish when heated.
I can't believe people ask if your kids ever have fun. Like you film every minute of your lives. 😅
Good morning 🌞
Hi Jessica
I just love watching your children helping you in the garden. They think they are having fun and don’t even know how much help they really are. And oh the memories you’re making!! My oldest son (he’s 44) just told me one of his favorite memories is when he was little helping me and my grandma snap beans on the back porch. We got a huge job finished in no time and heard many stories from my grandparents and the boys learned how to preserve beans. What great times!
Keep up the good work!
Love your videos🙏😊
I love the way you parent your children! Play to learn and learn to play imo is the best and most effective parenting method. Many people today don’t understand the true value of that for the whole family. I am really interested in trying garlic scapes.
Jessica, you have such adorable children. And I love that the little ones enjoy being with you in the garden. It's precious ♥️
Good morning
Your 3 little musketeers are adorable ❤❤❤❤❤❤
It’s obvious from looking at the faces of your young boys that they are thoroughly enjoying their time in the garden with you. This may look like work to some, but to them it is better than play. Your investment of time with them is so valuable…and they are making memories that they will have forever, plus they are learning useful things as well.
Just look at those children’s smiling faces and it tells what a good and loving mother you are. Plus, you are teaching them wonderful life lessons. Just “shake the dust off your feet” and move forward when you hear those comments. ❤️❤️❤️
What perfect timing for this video. We have lived in our suburban house for 15 years and never knew that we had a mulberry tree on our side yard. This is the first year it actually grew mulberries. I don’t quite understand why. Maybe it needs to be cross pollinated and until this year there weren’t any other trees. A nice neighbor must have been kind enough to plant one?
I love all your videos but I really love tour canning and preserving one the most. I kearn so much😊
Oh and we finally got some rain!!! Thank you God!!! It was a very long six long weeks with no rain.
So great thanks Jessica! If you ever find you have the time - An ebook of all your baked goods/canning/home remedy recipes would be amazing to purchase. A collection of all your wisdom - as I’m often scrolling through old videos trying to find random helpful hints or recipes you have shared 👏❤️.
You are an amazing person, and raising your children like that is the very best! So happy I found you. Keep up the good work 👍you are a breath of fresh air.
We have nothing even close to a property your size, we have a small garden in a housing estate but my almost 3 year old daughter loves helping me to garden chores and we grow strawberries and she is so excited checking for ripe ones every day. Kids enjoy doing whatever you're doing. Spending time together is what they want more than anything
You have the cutest little helpers!
I planted garlic for the first time last fall and had totally forgotten about the scapes until I saw them and was so excited! It really takes some time to get them all chopped up! But I am glad to see this video because I left some for me to pickle them and see how well we like them ❤
You are the best mom. We all need to teach our children to work and be part of a family where everyone helps out. Kids love learning and helping. Ty for a great video Jessica.
My first canning project of the year was mulberry juice, I made a tart as well. We live mulberries and I have never thought of making ice cream. My son has a dairy allergy as well. Now I have gooseberries and garlic scapes to take care of. The blackberries are not to far behind. We are on a new to us homestead and are enjoying the fruits of the land.
