When I hear you go through all the disclaimers of wich and what, and why you buy it I feel sad. Apparently you feel like you have to defend yourself. From maybe nasty comments you have been getting. Please know that (if anything) the people who follow you are behind you. We know that live is all about making compromises. And seeing you making decisions and taking care of your family is just a great joy! Don't ever apologize for your way of life or the way you live it!
I truly wish I could be a mama like you! Finding such joy in providing for your family in the old fashioned way instead of the way we do now. Especially for Gabe and yourself and allergies. You were meant to be a mama♡♡♡
I only discovered your channel recently and let me tell you: it’s wonderful. You have a beautiful family, God bless you all. I love the way you look after your family in the old fashioned way. I wish more people realised that’s how we are meant to live. Please keep up your encouraging message. 😊
I showed my 8 year old the part where your children were doing chores. He always says “I have to do it all” when asked to take out the trash. He said “oh great, now you’ll think I need to do more!” LOL
I homeschooled our two daughters all the way to college, and your videos bring back fond memories for me those times. But more importantly it reminds me how much I accomplished in those seasons because I had to be diligent in all the areas. Now that my daughters are grown, one married, and I have a grandchild, it’s tempting to keep easier pace. But you inspire me to be more diligent about gardening, preserving, home keeping, And mentoring, all while running my two home-based businesses.
I love how confident and capable your kids are. It is a testament of the way you are raising them. The majority of kids these days are lazy, self centered and entitled. More families should do what you do.
I nap with my boys (they’re both little) every day, and I can’t imagine doing it differently. I need that rest as much as they do! And I love the bed in the family room: it reminds me of how people used to have one room houses/cabins and the beds were always in the living area.
You are a very organized Mom! I can see it is paying off with such well-behaved children! I am very impressed with your lifestyle! Blessings to you and your family.
I don't have children but am a stay at home wife and my day starts at 445am during the week. I take a 1 1/2 hour nap each day too usually 3pm to 430pm and yes, we all need that quiet time to rest, read a book, just some "me time". It is good for the body and soul. Anna In Ohio.
I am enjoying a peek into your days! Thank you for sharing! So many things I can relate to.. Im a mother of 4 oldest is 8 youngest is 2. Makes me smile to know Im not alone in this homeschooling, homemaking life! ❤
I'm a homeschooling mom to 8 , I have graduated 2 and have 6 left to go and although I feel like I have grown older and wiser I always glean wisdom from you . Thank you . God bless your family.
What a wonderful family you have!! You are the epitome of a super Mom!! I love your planner you use. I have used a planner for years and I don't know what I would do without one. Kids normally love structure and you have your days wonderfully structured. Thanks so much for sharing your day. What beautiful children you have!! Gods blessings 🙏
Enjoyed seeing the life of a loving family. So organized and efficient but real and normal. Well better than normal. I wish more people were doing this.
Thank you for speaking to the introverted, yet involved and invested, Mom! Taking care of ourselves allows us to beat mother them and teachers them to care for themselves, too.
Your life is perfect. I only have 3 children but I made them take naps until 5. I said if they couldn’t sleep it was just quiet time. Definitely best thing I did for my sanity
I live in Australia and I love daylight savings because of the extra light but my body clock is always out for that 6mths and I always tired. I love when Autumn comes and we turn back our clocks, I feel normal and human for the cold mths. If I had to choose I would pick winter time just for how I feel energy wise.
I've really enjoyed being able to watch a weekly video from you every Sunday morning. It gives me something good to enjoy watching while I have my morning coffee before having breakfast and getting ready for church!
Thank you for sharing your life with others; I can't tell you what an encouragement it is to me, and many others. You are like a mentor to me. May God overflow your cup with peace and blessings.
I just found your video and I am so thankful for that. I feel that I was led to this channel. As I am trying to be able to settle down and quit stressing about things that I have no control over. We have had a very bad December with events that we had no control over. So with a lot of heart to heart with my husband and prayers I am working toward that goal. Again thank you so much 😊
You rock and roll girl. You have a wonderful family. Seven handsome children and a husband that helps with them, that’s great. Thanks for the insight. I have to admit, just watching you wears me out! Now i need a nap. Salute
I love that you take that time in the afternoon and encourage other moms to do so. I do that too, although it's more of just a quiet time. It's so needed! Thanks again for sharing your life with us.💓
I enjoy watching the kids doing their chores. I'm homeschooling one of my kids and he has health issues. For us at this time getting him out of bed is a win. Someday I hope he'll be able to do chores too. It is such a sense of accomplishment. Your video gives me hope.
After teaching school for 30 years I became the care giver for my grandkids. One who was three was a wonderful napper! Three hours every afternoon. The new baby proved to be 'wide eyed and bushy tailed' and could go and go with only a 45 minute nap.
I think it's wonderful that you encourage your child to bake and accomodate special dietary needs. No need to apologize for the palm oil. We all do what we have to do in some area or another. Some admit it and some don't. God Bless.
I love watching your videos so much. I am an introvert as well. When my kids were young I always rested when they napped. Although I have 4 kids, not 7, I did child care in my home so always had others as well, often 7-9 total. Nap time was mandatory, even if they just had quiet rest time and read books or listened to audio books. I needed that time to refuel and rest and withdraw for a bit to get through the rest of the long day. I think it is so important. Mommies go from early in the morning until late in the evening and that break to refuel makes all the difference.
We are in NE Ohio, snowbelt area. The boys just built their first mini snowman today. Crazy! We got our first snow on November 2nd! Should be an interesting winter. 🥶 Thank you for helping us remember the beauty of winter!! 🥰
I really enjoyed sharing a day with you and your children. Thank you for sharing your Azure order with us and explaining how you use the different products. I'm still learning about many of the foods and buying products in bulk. I really have enjoyed the products that I have tried from Azure and hope they make it through these hard times. Blessings to you and your family.
I loved this. 😊 So inspiring and encouraging. We order from Azure too and have started milling our own flour. I'm so glad you said that about the rolled oats gunking up your mill, I hadn't thought about that happening. I actually did try to order oat groats last month but they were out by the time I tried to order them. I'll try again this month. Loved the bed in the family room, such a great idea and sounds so functional. We have done "unconventional" things like that too. I love how real your home is, it reminds me of mine. Except mine is in the throws of a big renovations so we have some not so pretty parts to it right now. I hope your nap was restful, so wise to give yourself that and to encourage other mamas to do it. I did when mine were napping ages too. ❤️
I am SO excited to learn about the Country Save! Thank you for mentioning the oat groats as well! I’m about to purchase my first hand mill and absolutely would have put rolled oats in there if I hadn’t seen this video! We are in Ohio as well. I’ve been watching you for a half year or more now. We just purchased our first home with acreage and I homeschool our two littles. You are an amazing inspiration and give me hope that I can “do all the things” without losing my sanity ☺️ Thank you for sharing your life as a comfort to others.
When I was home schooling my three kids, out library had a series of books that showed what people eat in other countries, complete with recipes. That might be something you could add to your country study, if you wanted. We had wheat and dairy allergies in our home too, although not as severe as your son's, and we still found interesting things to try. Now you have the bonus of You Tube videos to watch about this as well.
My babies are grown up pretty much, one is 22 and the other just turned 18, if I could go back and change anything it would be homeschooling! Them beautiful children will forever benefit from your love. Thank you for sharing your personal life with us. Oh I noticed your dishwasher lol I have the same one, question how do you get that very top drawer pulled out?😆 mine barely comes forward for some reason lol
Our dish washer breaks so often we gave up on it too. Even after it was replaced. It's just been better to get used to doing it by hand each day rather than depend on a machine that isn't reliable and has left us in a lurch too many times (in the form of a mountain of dishes, lol). We use ours for storage...pots and pans and cutting boards and oven gloves.
We were wondering, if you'd share the cost of running the freeze dryer, the increased cost of electric is our concern in thinking of making such an expensive buy. Thank you for sharing your busy day, I remember the days of home schooling the children, canning, getting prepped for the next days meals, preparing meals during the day for our family. I still do many of those things just more on my time schedule and yes I still try to nap, even if it's just for 15-20 minutes, it renews me and since we rise at 4 am, to get my husband off to work, read our Bibles, breakfast made and his lunch packed he is typically out the door headed to work at 5:45am, then my day begins for things I need to do here. We try to retire by 9pm in the evening doing a couples devotional.
Sarah and Kevin from Living Traditions Homestead on YT has a very in depth cost analysis and comparison using their Freeze dryer which I believe, is the same size as Jessica’s-just a FYI!!
For my Grandson, I fill a mug with whole milk, add a splash of heavy cream, about a tablespoon of cacao, a little bit of vanilla extract and then sweeten it with 100% pure maple syrup. It’s really good:)
I too homeschooled my 3 children all the way thru. My daughter went on to college to become a wildlife ranger. You doing the countries bring back memories we did the same . We also look up recipes of dishes in that land. Cook dinner. Fun times miss it.
New subscriber. My children are all grown now and in college, but yet I continue to learn from you. What a blessing you are to your family. Raising your children up to be faithful servants of Jesus Christ is a wonderful thing. As your children get older and go out into the world, you will see how this dutiful work will serve them well. God bless
I just love your channel 😁 I am sooooo glad that I found you a few months ago.❤️ You have such calmness about you 🤗🥰 I also love Azure food hauls! Thank You for sharing 😃 Blessings from Green 🌱🥬 Ohio 😊
Ms. Jessica you dont have to apologize. You have to do what you need to do. You have a wonderful family. My daughter is vegan ethical. So I know where you are coming from
Can't wait to start ordering from azure. I actually wanted to do it this month but we are going out of town. I miss homeschooling the kids but they are all grown up
We are in Ohio the southern part and got our first snow ❄fall yesterday and it's coming down again today😉 It is the earliest I can remember. We have got flurries before on Thanksgiving but this the earliest for sure.
I'm impressed that you're kids love split pea soup so much! Its a favorite of mine but I don't really make it anymore because my littles aren't big fans. Maybe I need a new recipe... I'd love to know what you put in it.
Always enjoy your videos Jessica! I'm also a Homeschooling, canning, preserving Mom. I have bought the Sams Mills brand of pasta from Azure and really love it. Tinkyada is good, but I find the texture of Sams Mills to be better. It is corn based - although I think they have other varieties now.
I gotta say...You have a beautiful family and you got it all under control, girl!! I have 6 children and am frantic about everything. I don't delegate though either. I have some changes to make....LOL!!!
When I hear you go through all the disclaimers of wich and what, and why you buy it I feel sad. Apparently you feel like you have to defend yourself. From maybe nasty comments you have been getting. Please know that (if anything) the people who follow you are behind you. We know that live is all about making compromises. And seeing you making decisions and taking care of your family is just a great joy! Don't ever apologize for your way of life or the way you live it!
Yes, I had that thought too. She doesn't need to explain her choices. People can be so judgmental about what food is best and why.
I truly wish I could be a mama like you! Finding such joy in providing for your family in the old fashioned way instead of the way we do now. Especially for Gabe and yourself and allergies. You were meant to be a mama♡♡♡

its off en not off ten
Well done busy momma
I love how confident and capable your kids are. It is a testament of the way you are raising them. The majority of kids these days are lazy, self centered and entitled. More families should do what you do.
I nap with my boys (they’re both little) every day, and I can’t imagine doing it differently. I need that rest as much as they do! And I love the bed in the family room: it reminds me of how people used to have one room houses/cabins and the beds were always in the living area.

Love how you wait for the kids to come to you with their questions! That teaches them that no question is a stupid question.❤️
Bravo! You really educate your kids on other countries beautifully! Love seeing your process !
I am enjoying a peek into your days! Thank you for sharing! So many things I can relate to.. Im a mother of 4 oldest is 8 youngest is 2. Makes me smile to know Im not alone in this homeschooling, homemaking life! ❤

Kids normally love structure and you have your days wonderfully structured. Thanks so much for sharing your day. What beautiful children you have!! Gods blessings 🙏
Love watching all of y’all. It’s wonderful to see true healthy loved children thank you for sharing.
I could watch all of your videos all day!!
Amazing!!!!!!
Enjoyed seeing the life of a loving family. So organized and efficient but real and normal. Well better than normal. I wish more people were doing this.
I love your kitchen it reminds me of my grandmother's kitchen don't change it

Whenever I watch your videos, I get permission to be myself. 💗
This is one of my favorite comments ever 💓
Love ALL your videos but day in the life are one of my favorites
🙏❤️🙏❤️☮️I can’t tell you enough how I enjoy watching your family! And then to watch your newest videos! Thank you!❤️🙏❤️🙏☮️
I remember discovering Microsoft paint as a kid! Many, many happy hours spent there. 🥳

Grace has the cutest style! She always looks so chic the way she tucks her shirts into her jeans 😊
Thank you for sharing your life with others; I can't tell you what an encouragement it is to me, and many others. You are like a mentor to me. May God overflow your cup with peace and blessings.

I really love how you study the countries.
Just found your channel because someone was bragging on you in the comments of another channel I watch. I’m loving the content. I subbed! God bless
I'm so envious of your homeschool life! bless you!
You my dear have it going on!!! You are a wonderful mom...I love the softness in your voice..all i can say is keep it up!!! Just keep on keeping on🙂
You rock and roll girl. You have a wonderful family. Seven handsome children and a husband that helps with them, that’s great. Thanks for the insight. I have to admit, just watching you wears me out! Now i need a nap. Salute

Praying for your son's health
Prayer for your son, and you. Its never easy being a caretaker.
Would love for you to share a Sunday worship time with us. 🥰🥰 blessings to you today!!
That would be so lovely to enjoy!!
Great video! Excited for the fluff recipe! Hope you all have a great day!
Gosh, you're such a sweet Family!
Love the Content. I'm catching up watching your videos.
After teaching school for 30 years I became the care giver for my grandkids. One who was three was a wonderful napper! Three hours every afternoon. The new baby proved to be 'wide eyed and bushy tailed' and could go and go with only a 45 minute nap.
So my naps , which had been an hour, became much shorter.
I think it's wonderful that you encourage your child to bake and accomodate special dietary needs. No need to apologize for the palm oil. We all do what we have to do in some area or another. Some admit it and some don't. God Bless.

Love this! My kids are grown but I fondly remember these days. God bless you 💜
Don't listen to or pay any attention to those ney sayers out there! You truly are a wonderful woman!! I really enjoyed this video! Thank you.
My favourite kind of video from you 🤗 this always excites me and I am at awe of what all you get done in a day 😅😃 love your vlogs Jessica ❤
Love your sweet family Jessica. Thank you for sharing with us.
We are in NE Ohio, snowbelt area. The boys just built their first mini snowman today. Crazy! We got our first snow on November 2nd! Should be an interesting winter. 🥶
Thank you for helping us remember the beauty of winter!! 🥰
YOU'RE AWESOME SISTER!!
My children are grown. Ages 49 and 42. And I have Grandchildren. Retired RN here. Stay safe and stay healthy.
I love the idea of the bed in your family room.
I throughly enjoy your videos. What a happy and joy-filled family!!! Love and Peace 💜💜
I really enjoyed sharing a day with you and your children.
Thank you for sharing your Azure order with us and explaining how you use the different products.
I'm still learning about many of the foods and buying products in bulk.
I really have enjoyed the products that I have tried from Azure and hope they make it through these hard times.
Blessings to you and your family.
Awesomeness. God bless you all
Lovely! God bless you and your family.
😍Wow I loved how you organize Youre households your kids are amazing🥰
You are a wonderful mama. Homeschooling done and did it for 15 years with two sons. Naps are great!!!

You are a superhero. 💙💙💙
Beautiful family, you have such a charming home!
I am off duty once my husband comes home too! It’s so nice! What a lovely day in the life!❤️
You’re such a great Mom, you’re children are so blessed to have you ❤️

Also Azure sells delish Carob chips that are unsweetened! My family LOVES them!
Thank you for this day in the life. Putting up groceries is not glamorous but it is neccesary.
I would love to see how you make your hot cocoa and marshmallow fluff! Thank you for sharing your Azure order with us.
I homeschooled my youngest. She was so asthmatic. She also homeschooled 2 of her daughters. I totally agree with it.
My babies are grown up pretty much, one is 22 and the other just turned 18, if I could go back and change anything it would be homeschooling! Them beautiful children will forever benefit from your love. Thank you for sharing your personal life with us. Oh I noticed your dishwasher lol I have the same one, question how do you get that very top drawer pulled out?😆 mine barely comes forward for some reason lol
Ours is broken 😞 It's just a really expensive drying rack right now 😂
Three Rivers Homestead oh no!! Ughh that’s definitely not fun having to do all them dishes😆
Our dish washer breaks so often we gave up on it too. Even after it was replaced. It's just been better to get used to doing it by hand each day rather than depend on a machine that isn't reliable and has left us in a lurch too many times (in the form of a mountain of dishes, lol).
We use ours for storage...pots and pans and cutting boards and oven gloves.
You're amazing and do it all the children helping is great.

Sarah and Kevin from Living Traditions Homestead on YT has a very in depth cost analysis and comparison using their Freeze dryer which I believe, is the same size as Jessica’s-just a FYI!!
Maybe you could video your homemade hot chocolate recipe sometime. That's a great haul! I have never ordered from them but I have looked into it.
I second this idea!
Yes please!!!
For my Grandson, I fill a mug with whole milk, add a splash of heavy cream, about a tablespoon of cacao, a little bit of vanilla extract and then sweeten it with 100% pure maple syrup. It’s really good:)
I too homeschooled my 3 children all the way thru. My daughter went on to college to become a wildlife ranger. You doing the countries bring back memories we did the same . We also look up recipes of dishes in that land. Cook dinner. Fun times miss it.
Your so organized great idea for the children if I don't write stuff down I forget about it
A wonderful life.
Love all this! We do AFV Sunday nights too. My favorite pasta from Azure is Sam Mills red lentil spaghetti.
New subscriber. My children are all grown now and in college, but yet I continue to learn from you. What a blessing you are to your family. Raising your children up to be faithful servants of Jesus Christ is a wonderful thing. As your children get older and go out into the world, you will see how this dutiful work will serve them well.

Love your videos Your children are precious
My goodness David got so tall all of a sudden! I could nap just from WATCHING all you do LOL
THANK YOU VERY INTERESTING . GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
I just love your channel 😁 I am sooooo glad that I found you a few months ago.❤️ You have such calmness about you 🤗🥰 I also love Azure food hauls! Thank You for sharing 😃 Blessings from Green 🌱🥬 Ohio 😊
Quiet time is needed for not just mama but the children as well. Nice haul from Azur.
Thanks for sharing your Azure Standard delivery. On the coconut cream alone the Azure price for a case is about 15 dollars less compared to Amazon.
Costco carries the same organic flour which I have grown to love so it’s good to know azure carries it as well!
You are truly an inspiration ❤ love this so much. Definitely a new subscriber here.
Jessica, your kids can use the empty ketchup bottles as water shooters in the summer.
Ms. Jessica you dont have to apologize. You have to do what you need to do. You have a wonderful family. My daughter is vegan ethical. So I know where you are coming from
You have a beautiful family.
I think your children have a blessed life❤
Hey there.... homeschool mama of 7 as well. This is helpful. I feel like a failure soooooooo many days because we don't do "all the things"
Can't wait to start ordering from azure. I actually wanted to do it this month but we are going out of town. I miss homeschooling the kids but they are all grown up
I would absolutely love to see one of your lessons on geography or a full list of what you cover for each country. Im new to homeschooling
We are in Ohio the southern part and got our first snow ❄fall yesterday and it's coming down again today😉 It is the earliest I can remember. We have got flurries before on Thanksgiving but this the earliest for sure.
I'm impressed that you're kids love split pea soup so much! Its a favorite of mine but I don't really make it anymore because my littles aren't big fans. Maybe I need a new recipe... I'd love to know what you put in it.
Always enjoy your videos Jessica! I'm also a Homeschooling, canning, preserving Mom. I have bought the Sams Mills brand of pasta from Azure and really love it. Tinkyada is good, but I find the texture of Sams Mills to be better. It is corn based - although I think they have other varieties now.
Your family is beautiful
I gotta say...You have a beautiful family and you got it all under control, girl!! I have 6 children and am frantic about everything. I don't delegate though either. I have some changes to make....LOL!!!
