You look amazing, Lauren! I’m praying for your beautiful family and those precious twins.
Another great an educational video. Wow blessed with so many, vegetables, raspberries, and honey. Fruit leather looks amazing. Nice to see the kids enjoying everything.
Praying 🙏 for you and the twins such and exciting time.
My grandfather had bees. He had a stroke and the first thing he wanted handled was someone to care for the bees since it was July. He had the most fabulous sourwood honey. I have learned so much about the process from your videoed.
I’ve learned so much from your family, Lauren! Never thought my life would take me into homesteading activities, yet here I am! Learning to provide for your family without being dependable on anyone else has such an amazing feeling! Thanks for all you do!
Great video. Hope you are feeling well. Make sure you rest up. Take care🥰
That honey will be amazing, worth the effort. You are looking well Lauren, hope your pregnancy goes well. Praying for healthy babies!! Have a great school year boys!!
VERY HEART FILLED CONGRATULATIONS ON THE TWINS. I AM WISHIMG YOU A STRONG AND HEALTHY PREGNANCY. ALL THE BEST TO YOU AND MARK. GOD BLESS. PLEASE KEEP US UP TO DATE AS MUCH AS YOU ARE ABLE TOO WITH YOUR PREGANCY. IT'S SO EXCITING.. TWINS, WHAT A SURPRISE..EVEN FOR US🤗🤗🤰❤

Honey is beautiful color
SOOO many raspberries! Love love love daily Hamm life. Thanks for letting us into your world. Blessings to you all always!
Another amazing vlog. Love learning about the honey and seeing all your uses for rasberries. That dehydrator is awesome!!!! Keep up the great content.Continued prayers for Lauren and babies!!!!!
Really nice looking honey! The raspberries were very abundant! Hope that you're feeling well Lauren!
What a wonderful luxury to have so many raspberries growing at home. Different climates effect different fruits. I have a raspberry as a potted plant which I care for cover with a net to stop the birds eating them. I get excited when i see the first one. Yours must taste so delicious. Here raspberries are generally used for decoration on sponge cakes pavlova as they are considered special & a treat. The honey from hive to finished product in a jar is beautiful. Thankyou for yet another informative & enjoyable video.
Lauren and Mark is awesome parents
Congratulations on your being a Mom again.
Such a “Sweet” video😉 Love seeing the whole family working together🙏🏼❤️
Good morning. Loved your video, thank you for sharing all your ideas with your fresh grown raspberries. Looks like you have plenty of honey to last you awhile!! Looks so good!❤
Congratulations again on your pregnancy can't wait to hear what you are having!!!😊😊 so happy for you.❤❤❤
I love honey. No matter how lobg you keep it, honey will never go bad. Honey may get grainy, dryout a bit never will it be rotten. Much love and many prayers. 💖💖
Fun video, happy to see all of your sweet faces.....thanks for sharing! Many blessings for a healthy pregnancy....excited to see your journey with twins! 💖
I love that your boys are so willing to help. They will be such good big brothers😃
That honey looks amazing!!! Thank also, for continuing to explain the process. It is so interesting!!!❤️❤️
That was pretty cool to watch what you and your family can make with berries ❤
When this happened to our honey we spoke to the bee society and they said it get solid because it wasn’t filtered well and that some wax had gotten into the honey either from de capping or from filtering. But as you say still tastes ok, but I prefer if when it’s a flowing golden stream. I usually used the set honey in cooking. I have an awesome chicken, ginger and garlic recipe which is truly so tasty I could eat it continuously 😂
The Bees and honey was so interesting.
Oh my gosh your stair railing is beautiful. Please do a house tour.
What does Mark do for a living?
This vlog was so interesting. Thank you.
Congratulations on the new twins ❤️praying for everything to go well 😀we also have bee hives and it is a lot of work , and I agree you won’t have time to mess with the livestock 😂as we call it . We do centrifuge ours and strain it and bottle it , it’s a lot of work 😮
You are now a raspberry farmer! Like any farmer, fall is a very, very busy harvest time! The same with being a Honey farmer. I didn't realize how busy and interesting that Honey is. Thank you for sharing your busy life, I love watching your family. It sounds like your dehydrating machine got a workout in this episode.
Your glow is so beautiful congratulations on your special blessings
I’m so happy for you, Mark, and the boys! I almost feel like I am having them. (I’m 70! ). I will live vicariously thru you. You are able to get so much done! Amazing! Hope you are resting a couple of times a day at least. Prayers for all of you🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
The honey looks amazing! I loved seeing all you did w the Raspberries! Great video ❤ hope you are getting enough rest❤
Those cookie pencils were teally cute
Wow that honey is a stunning colour.
Wonderful,beautiful honey,abundance of raspberrie.Lauren you look amazing.Tell the boys and Mark I said hello.Keeping you and baby's in our prayers.
It’s so good to see how your family is helping u out while u are pregnant u are lucky to have such a blessed family
You really know how to make from your harvest of raspberries and honey. Thanks for sharing. Hafa adai and love from the island of Guam 🌴❤🌴
Hi Lauren. I so love raspberries. So expensive here. I think it’s too hot in Australia to grow them successfully. I still can’t believe you’re expecting twins. I’m so so excited for you all. The summer went quick. We’ve had a very cold winter and we are in spring now. We’ve had severe rain and wind here for two days. Even the dog won’t go out. Lol. Freeze drying raspberries is great. I love raspberry jam too. Thanks for your update. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Raspberry pie is my all time favorite. My mom used to make it. Yum!!
Yum! I still need to make a raspberry pie!
@@ThisAlaskaLife I'd LOVE to see you do that!
You are going to dream about raspberries!! 😊 The honey looks so beautiful in color 👍 I'm amazed at how many different things you can put in the freeze dryer!!
So happy for yall.
Loved the honeycomb from my grandfather’s honey.
Hope you and the babies are doing well
That was a very informative video. I really enjoyed learning how to do things with the raspberries. Thank you for video.
Your honey looked beautiful
A friend of mine took freeze dried raspberry and powdered them, and added to marshmallow treats. They were delish
Freeze dry or dehydrate raspberries, powder for flavoring to add to cake, pancakes, yogurt, ice cream, etc.
Raspberry jam..yum!!!
Love your videos. Very interesting and lots of love!
God' journey is totally Awesome!!!🤣😁😇
wow more then I thought n it's beautiful color
You have become my favorite TH-camr ❤
Hi Lauren, I am so envious of all those raspberries you are dealing with. You can also try making a raspberry cordial that you bottle and can use later.
Excellent, enjoyed this so much…
Love your videos! Good luck in pregnancy love to u and your family !!!!
Your honey is beautiful in color😊
New subscriber here. Congratulations on your new babies to come. You've been a suggested channel to watch..& I've watched some..but really kept coming out w great content. Just a 40 something Grandparent although we go by Mimi & Papa to a 5 yr old who lives in Montana. Your videos showing the beautiful sites of Alaska & your husband showing the boys how to do all things Alaska on his channel as well is excellent! Can't wait to see more!
Welcome. I'm glad you are enjoying the channel. 😊
Just love the videos you put out! The honey that crystallized you can make whipped honey it last longer and you can add vanilla or cinnamon and its great to give as small gifts
Great tip! Sounds delicious!
Just put your crystallized honey in a mixing bowl and whip it around 10 min it will turn kinda white looking! It will thicken a good bit kinda like butter but it is best way save your honey and makes Great gifts for family and friends
How far along are you now? This is going to go so fast 👶👶
Can you post your fruit leather recipe. I think my grandson work like it. So excited to follow your new journey with your pregnancy. Praying for you all.
Honey looks good
Great harvest ,get some good rest yourself. You will need it with 2 babies ! Yummy raspberries love them . Iam the only one in my house that likes them !
Good morning and happy Friday great video look good
I had to chuckle every time one of you said "honey bucket". Growing up in the 60's, a honey bucket did NOT have any honey in it.
I agree! Lol We sometimes use “honey buckets 🪣 “ at the cabin but I couldn’t think of what else to say. 😂
Raspberry & white chocolate muffins.
We use that freezer jam recipe. We like to run it thru a food mill/strainer.
Great idea!
Good morning all happy Friday morning and I loved your vlogs and you all amazing Supporter, new subscriber
I am so grateful for this vlog. There’s just something special about your vlogs. There’s no drama, there’s no crazy or hype up. It just is. I don’t know if I can adequately express it. It’s a really nice balance of life and teaching and learning. Would J ever do Bee’s no, but I found all the vlogs about your bees fascinating and really learned alot. Such a lot of work for honey. Thank you for sharing.
This year's honey is Color of our honey in Indiana.
Use the honey with the comb in it on peanut butter sandwiches.
Hi Friends, now we know you are pregnant with two blessings it makes sense why you had been so exhausted this summer. 😊
Oh my I bet the house smelt amazing all those raspberries. One of my favourite berries, normally so expensive though. I would love a freeze dryer but the price for one in Australia is crazy expensive $8000 plus. Hopefully they will become more affordable in years to come. Definitely not in the household budget in the near future.
Bennett loves to help with the cooking. I think he would become a chef maybe though. He's very hands-on. It's so enjoyable to watch Evertte help you buy the ingredients from Costco and Garden. This is a beautiful family life. I'm going to watch you making raspberry freeze jam on here.
Say happy and healthy
Can you put up the recipe for freezer jam, please? Thank you xx
On your bees, you said you give them sugar syrup syrup what part of sugar do you leave the bees some of the honey to live off over the winter or is it the sugar syrup so they can make more honey? How do you add syrup? Do you give the bees sugar syrup every day or a couple of days so they can live off that over the winter month? How do you give them the syrup without interface the bees? How did you get the honey onto your trays without spinning them? It's good that you know there's Alaska wild flower and Honey that puts the honey in jars for you. 60 cents a pound is cheap. Sorry for all the questions. I'm Interested
Hang on there are you pregnant with twins?? Or did I get it wrong? Have you given away your bees or in the process of doing that.
There is a special box that you put on top full of sugar syrup. They then turn that into honey very quickly because it is so accessible. If you go back to our very first bee video of the season we fed them sugar syrup then, they need it in the spring and the fall in Alaska because of the short summer.
This video shows it th-cam.com/video/9ogXsI9GUDg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=clUK7ly1qW9GIJdv
Yes we just announced that I am pregnant with twins! th-cam.com/video/cP6msCffhNA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=V4Qbiq7phQ28AnWI
@ThisAlaskaLife I will definitely watch those videos thank you.
I don't know if you use all the leaves on your celery but its amazing to put into soups and stews
I keep it in the freezer for soups!
Nice video
Good Afternoon Hamm Family ❤️
The temp dropped two degrees (74°F) since my prior video comment (... the End). The thunderstorm is raging all around us, but not so bad over head. We're in the lower foothills, so sometimes the storms split around us by the time they get here. Still, it's wet and a little windy. The creek is rushing along, but no signs that it will even reach overflow 🏞️
Those wafer pencils are simple, yet cute. Moose Stew sounds yummy. I've never eaten moose 🫎
The fellas look handsome in their back to school clothes. Have a great year. They're going to make awesome big brothers 🧒
That's a lot of raspberries... making up for the lack of honey, I guess. Fruit leather looks good. Store-bought leathers are meh, but I hear homemade is best. Bennett has absolutely no regrets 😋
Hey, you've got my popcorn bag sitting in the background... Very yum 🍿
I've made strawberry and peach freezer jam, but never raspberry. Since I'm not the biggest raspberry fan, on their own, I think they'd be good in a mixed berry jam. That is a bountiful amount of jam 🍓
Honey. So yum. I love honey. Haven't found one I don't like. All the colors, consistencies and flavor profiles. It's good to know that 60 cents a pound for honey harvesting is the secret to a happy marriage... LoL. Mark's like a little kid indulging in the honey runoff. A good peanut butter and honey sandwich is delicious, especially if the bread is fresh, lightly toasted, still warm from the oven; or make the PB and honey sandwich, slather outside with butter and grill like a grilled cheese sandwich... Mmmm 🍯
Freeze-dried fruit is great. A lite snack on its own or crush it into or onto oatmeal, yogurt, cobblers, cupcakes, crisps, cookies, waffles or pancakes, toast, ice cream/cookies/cones, a milkshake or smoothie, muffins, etc. Nice to see the fellas so invested in all your foody adventures 🧁
Everett with his glasses reminds me so much of Bry when he was his age, minus Bry's toe-head, white-blonde head of hair... just like his Momma was 🤓
Too bad the honey harvest was slim, but every little bit is a sweet prize. I need to check with my apiary on how their harvest went. Almost time to stock up again. We've had a lot of hot-humid days and a lot of rainy days too. The bees do love the honeysuckle growing out back and the trumpet flowering vine along the house which is a Hummingbird eatery as well. I'm happy to report that Maggie has not eaten a single bee this season. No pathetic swollen snoots nor benadryl hangovers. If you've ever seen a Polar Bear dazed and confused, well, that's Maggie on benadryl... and just as clumsy 🐻❄️
Shaker lemonade sounds so delicious and refreshing 🍋
Hmmm, interesting cookies. As long as the flavor is good... happy little accidents 🍪
Oooo, honey... luscious golden deliciousness. The variety and differences in honey are true treasures. Have you ever looked into dissolving labels instead of using a marker or labels that are a pain to remove? They work great 🙂
It's always a blessing to spend time with you and your Family. Have a great weekend. Take care. Yah's Blessings 🤗
P.S.: I'm all caught up... Yay me 😁
And a little veg oil to the white chocolate to thin it out.
It was a lost cause, wouldn’t even melt. Don’t know what happened to it but it was really old.
I am happy you were able to get as much honey as you did. It looks very pretty. Were the people you offered the bees to able to successfully rehome them?😢
You look radiant
LOVE your channel, I used to work in a honey processing plant, it is such a putrid smell but so tasty lol
My mouth is watering too!🤣 No moose in Florida. 😢 Is that Cabelas freeze dryer a good investment? Now, when is the final raspberry picking? I really enjoyed you explanation the bee hive preservation for the bees. Can’t wait to see the finished product. Can you make raspberry flavored seltzer? Well, I guess I saw the done honey. Lauren, you and Mark make a great team in the kitchen. Thank you. Till next time.
You need to get upgrade on the freeze dryer it’s going to five trays
Maybe the people you gave your bees to will share some honey with you
Love freeze dried raspberry
So good
@@ThisAlaskaLife I love all freeze dried fruit.. we don't own a freeze dryer.. Australia doesn't have a company. Not that we have found.
Such an interesting video!❤
I love all the information you give us. My only question is how did the people that were taking the bees collect them all ?? Love all the raspberries and everything you were able to make with them all ❤
You dump them from the boxes and try to get as many as possible. You do lose some. Same thing we do when putting the bees in our hives or combining hives.
@@ThisAlaskaLife thank you so much. Hope all is well with you ❤️
Mark looks so bummed about the amount of honey from this year.
Hey Lauren! Where did you get that dark blue dress? It’s really nice and modest which is hard to find nowadays.
Looks awesome and yummy...how our you going with your pregnancy and what was the reaction from boys where are they excited congratulations bye the way 🎉from Perth Australia
Wow you show us so much and educate us. Do you ever get to a point with your raspberries that you sale to the public?
Used to but haven’t for several years. Our harvest was really low the last 2 years so we stopped opening it up to the public. This year we are having a huge harvest but I haven’t had the energy to open it to the public so we have been picking and inviting friends to come pick.
Another great video, how do you not have trouble with birds or bears eating your raspberries?😊
Hi Lauren! Great video! I wanted to ask can you use Splenda or another artificial sweetener making the freezer jam? My mother is a diabetic and I would love to make her either strawberry or raspberry jam. Thanks!
You need to get the pink box of sure gel pectin, it allows you to use less sugar and sugar alternatives. The original sure gel, you have to use regular sugar or it won’t set.
60 cents a pound to save you marriage, thats money well spent 👍
funny looks like tallow
Very ice video. Life setteling down to a little more nirmal or routine.
Why is the honey a different color in different years? Is it the flowers they have available?.
It was almost painful watching you make that Moose stew. Tom would get a moose every year and that was one of our favorite meals. Moose Jerky the kid's favorite.
Take care all...❤❤
😊
❤
Do you know if I could use your recipe with artificial sweetener or does it need to be sugar?
Where the inspector aka Luna?
Sorry I meant fireweed honey not firewood
