I used to think how great it will be when I can sleep through the night after my children grew up. What no one told me was that when I got older I would not sleep through the night! Between bathroom visits, falling asleep too early & waking @ 3am/4am I still never sleep. Nap, Nap, Nap as often as you can.
Love this video and sharing feelings that are so true for all of us! I work full time in healthcare, care for a disabled husband and always seemed to have things on my mind. I started carrying a small notebook, even putting it by my bed at night, and just jot down things I need to do or anything on my mind. It has helped so much! Once it is written down it clears my mind. Thanks again for your uplifting videos!
Fascinating Hanna. I know noting about the life, and I'm full of admiration at your dedication and energy. I love how you integrate nature and food growing in your kids' lives.
Hi Chana, thank you for bringing us along on your WITL. My absolute favorite was watching you prepare the picnic lunches for the outing. I can see how later in life your children will always talk about and remember these extra fun details that you made time for. Kids always remember these special treats. See you soon!
It's been many, many years, but I remember being so tired at the end of my pregnancies. I don't miss those bathroom trips. Even old age isn't that bad! Lol! Can't wait to be introduced to your littlest one!
I just love your vibes! I am an ex Mormon kid and not religious but, I am a homeschool Mama! We often go to the game store and stop to watch the people playing! We love to spend the weekend at home eating good food, playing games and hanging out as a family. You are a gem and I get so much encouragement from you!
Watching you from Africa, Kenya. I just love everything about you. I am among people who practice Jewish religion in our country Kenya..hoping to learn more from u
Dear Chana, At a certain point, TH-cam is no more a hobby, it becomes a business of its own. I think you've reached that point, so congratulations for your well deserved success. But since you are still a very active homeschooling mother and homemaker, I am not surprised you feel a little overwhelmed sometimes... And you are also expecting child... What a full life ! I wish you the best ... and don't forget to rest.
Hi, Chana! Girl, don't be too hard on yourself; that baby is getting ready to make an appearance, and you need your rest. Your energy is usually through the roof, so I'm sure this fatigue is bugging you! Love to watch you prepare plates and picnic boxes; your creativity makes everything so fun. Love you, girl- have a great weekend and a wonderful Shabbat! Love from CT
Hi Chana, I hope your feeling better today. It’s perfectly normal to be anxious about everything when your expecting a new baby. Being a mother is the most important job in the world and your doing homeschooling too which is so much harder. Take care of yourself and breathe. Love your videos and thanks for sharing.
Chana, truly, your videos are so relatable. My lifestyle, in many ways, is very different from yours. But so many of the worries, stresses and joys of motherhood and family life are so universal. I can’t tell you how often I think ‘same!’ when you are talking about life. It’s is such a great reminder that no matter what peoples differences are, there is so much we can share!
You look so glowing! Glad the Dr appt went good I'm sure it's getting close to meeting your lil bundle ☺️ I love the bookmarks I'm going to try that with my grandsons.
Thanks Sandra! It's not even a maternity top! Officially :) Its sold on a regular website and they have a maternity friendly section. I have gotten a couple things from there because like you said, it will be great before and after!
Hi Chana hope your well we loved the video as I was reading through the comments I just realised what a fantastic and important job you do . So many non Jews love your videos its such a kiddish hasem your making it's wonderful keep well regards from my wife from Jerusalem
I love how you always go out of your way to do the little things for your children and the bookmarks they made are beautiful! I’m happy to hear the baby is doing well and is healthy and that you enjoyed your Mother’s Day! I always enjoy seeing the week in your life videos! Another great video, much love to you all! ♥️
I love your outfit at the beginning of the video. It looks so flowy (is that a word? 🙃) and comfortable! The bookmarks are lovely. I so enjoy all of your videos!
This is my real first time watching your vlog and I loved it will definitely be a regular now. Your not sleeping made me think of my daughter who is very pregnant and also has 18 month old twins. Please rest up before baby arrives. 😄❤️❤️❤️
Ah yes, that middle of the night list of things to worry about. The one that feels like everything is so dire it must be done immediately, until you get up in the morning and realize half of them aren't really important. Sometimes, I'll write them all down so they're out of my head until the next day.
Chana, the bookmarks are beautiful. My Bubbi had pictures made from pressed flowers in her house. They used like a cotton wool to set the flowers in, and the frames were so ornate back then.
Loved the video Chana!!!! I don't know how you do it... But you are one awesome lady!!! Thank you for capturing the dragon fly= they are big there and so full of color. Also Thank you for your promos... I did the learning channel one and Fetch... Both brillant. Tks!
I identify with the logic that you had with your conversation. I wanted to do it for a long time. It would be the most flattering experience of My life.
Good morning! What a yummy presentation for lunches. Also enjoyed your explanation for the peg dolls. I also wondered what it was representing. Bloopers are fun to watch. Have a wonderfuland relaxing Shabbos.
Loved the pressed flower bookmarks! Questions and thoughts in the middle of the night or after a bad night are anxiety producing for sure! I usually keep a cookbook at my bedside to browse through. I can't start a new mystery or novel because I will keep reading until I am done, therefore getting no sleep! Love the cutout melon pieces, they looked so appealing! As always a pleasure to watch and learn......
Hi Chana, you have had a busy week. Nice that you have so many things to do keeping the kiddo’s busy. Your lunches always look so good and healthy. The bookmarks turned out so perfect. Great to go to the park, visit and relax, be good for us all. Enjoyed 🤗.
Thank you for sharing Chana! I think being schooled at home must be wonderful,especially when you don't stick to a rigid schedule. What a wonderful childhood! ❤
Uau!!!! ( like we say in Portuguese).🇧🇷 You are a very positive and productive person!!!! I like very much your videos , always, good vibes🙏. Your family is beautiful like you are🌻🌸🍀
Lack of sleep and a million & one little worries add up to a lot !!! no wonder you felt anxious, good that you got outside with a picnic & friends a sure way to recharge the batteries :) The picnic looked so inviting I loved the little cookie cutter melon slices. Rest as much as you can, even if you can't sleep make sure you factor in time to put your feet up.
Another kool video! Thanks! I can kill snakes in the yard but roaches? Roaches are creepy! As the summer aproaches they like to remind everyone they still exist. Lol. Sometimes I mistake the peel of a red onion for one and run out the door 😂😂. Shalom!
Enjoyed your week in the life. I love mother's day 🌼flowers and presents and as I am the oldest in the family I have grandchildren and all at my home. 😊. I have out cleaning the caravan and getting ready for our travels. We have a campsite not to far from home so we are looking forward to the rest 🌹❤️Ireland
Oh, Chana..the pressed flower bookmarks are wonderful! I think your kiddos have so much balance in their lives, thanks to their parents. It's about faith, education, healthy eating, crafting and a large dose of fun, as kids should have. This creates great memories and a strong foundation for their lives. I always enjoy your sharing your life with us. Thank you; hope you feel better. Shabbat shalom, and, enjoy your weekend! Rosemarie 💖
The bookmarks turned out perfect !!! What a lovely, creative idea. I have to say, your little girl always has on the prettiest dresses !!! Happy Mom's Day !!!!
Good evening Chana. Another terrific video. Every time I watch your videos I just cannot help thinking how well put together your house is. You keep things rolling so well. I also was surprised to find out that you and your kids like Little House on the Prairie. That is one of my favorite classic shows as well. It's a shame that TV, today, does not have that many good show like that on anymore. I look forward to your next video.
I totally understand the juggling a hundred balls and afraid that if you drop one they will all come crashing down. I will say finishing up our hs year last week made things easier. The time used for that can now be dedicated to other things. Definitely going to check out the link. Any way to make a little extra money from home is a plus. Until Monday! Blessings!!
Hi Chana. Thank you for the video and all the hard work you put into them. I loved the bookmarks. What a great idea! So glad you were able to spend mothers day with your mother! Loved the glimpses of the kids . What a great idea for them to have their own garden. I hope you have a great rest of your week!
Newer subscriber and I’m loving learning about your faith from you. I also find your videos to be very peaceful. Loved the bookmarks, they were beautiful!
That reminds me of my favorite shop; Hobby Town. I only go there when I have a lot of cash because I always end up getting a bunch of little dollhouse kits. I'm running out of shelf for them lol.
Chana, thank you for doing this viedo and sharing your life. You are so creative to come up with making bookmarks out of pressed flowers, what a great idea. I am praying that the rest of your pregnancy/birth goes well:) Happy Shabbat early!
Hello chana, thank you for sharing this video. I like how you prepare the picnic. The melon look great. I hoop you are doing well. Have a wonderful week. Greatings annie
You and I both when it comes to the cockroaches. One time I saw one on my roof and I had to call my mother into the bedroom just to take care of it. That woman chased the little varmint out our front door with a broom. It was the biggest heroic success I’ve ever witnessed all the while I was screaming on my bed
Hi Chana...you're amazing!! Another lovely video.. you really do sooo well ,juggling everything..even though you said you felt anxious..my heart went out to you.. Sallyann
Exceptional episode! Loved the bookmarks, lunch and can so relate to all the little things that continually need to be accomplished! I really enjoy seeing all the creativity you bring to your homeschooling!
Hi Chana, Hope you are feeling well. the bookmarks were a great project to make with the kids. They were so pretty with the flowers. Also, there aren't many people that can make a peanut butter sandwich look so yummy, but you manage to do it, and the fruit cutters are also an added treat. great also to get out and chat with friends. Kids had fun and so did you! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for taking us along! Can't wait to see next week's video! Have a great Shabbat and restful weekend. Tomorrow is my birthday and we will be spending the day at a frog jumping fair.
Hi, glad your baby is doing fine. Love the garden your children have n take care of. Great idea with the bookmarks with the pressed flowers 👍. Take care n see you next time. 🌻
I can't wait to see the harvest from your garden! I hope you are able to get some rest, third-trimester sleep was probably the worst of my whole pregnancy, so I tried to nap as much as I could.
Hi Chania. Thank you for taking med along for your life for just a bit. And thank you for being real. Take care. The bookmarks were lovely and I hope your son will harvest some watermelons. Here in Denmark Watermelons only grow in the greenhouse, but my friend managed to grow two last year😃in hers.
Give yourself a break Moma. Your doing great. You have done more then enough for your family. My 5 are all grown and as I look back at my anxiety levels as wish I’d just relaxed. everything just works out 💕
When anxiety hits, use your senses. Find 5 red things, taste 4 things, feel 3 things, listen for 2 sounds, etc. Also, "perspective". Is every ok? Do you have shelter, food, safety ? Losing our son taught us not to sweat the little stuff. If you are all safe and healthy, everything else is just gravy...
HI CHANA ,THANKS FOR SHARING I LOVE THE BOOK MARKS AND THE CHILDREN'S GARDEN THAT IS SO NICE THE ZINNIAS WILL LOOK SO PRETTY WHEN THEY BLOOM I HAVE CACTUS 🌵 BLOOMING IN MY YARD OUT HERE IN ARIZONA I PURCHASE TWO GALLON PLANTS OF LAVANDER FOR 2.OO AT HOME DEPOT THEY WERE 9.99 BUT SUNDAY THEY PUT THEM FOR 2.00 EACH🥰🦋🦋🦋🌻🌻🌻🐝
I'm with ya about roaches. When my neighborhood had those giant water-bugs 3 years ago, I found myself thinking I might have to burn the house down with everything in it. Fortunately, a small rational part of my brain ventured the opinion that might just be overkill. Since I have a chemical sensitivity which precludes using pesticides I felt pretty desperate, but I found something which surprised me by working: bay leaves. I spread a band of powdered bay leaves about 6" wide all around the perimeter of the house, plus some in the mulch on the garden beds. I also sprayed a mixture of Listerine mouthwash and spearmint all around the doors and windows every few days. Yes, my house was minty fresh. 😃 But it worked! Can I just say how much I enjoy seeing you grow your baby? Since I'm housebound, I don't get to see many pregnant women anymore. It may feel awkward to you, but to me you look beautiful. You're getting the pregnant woman walk, too. We usually think we're anxious because of this or that thing we're worried about, but I think sometimes it works the other way. That is, our body fires off some anxiety hormones which make our heart rate go up and our muscles tense and so on, and then our brain scrambles around looking for something to be anxious about to explain it. So suddenly we're worrying about things we'd normally take in stride, just to make sense of a biochemical hiccup.
Shavua Tov Chana. Loved this video. Since I’m a Bubba now, I am taking life a little bit easier. Just a little bit since grandchildren are my joy. I wanted to know where you got your lovely sheitel? Here in Brooklyn and in my community of course there are many shops but so expensive!! If convenient please let me know. I would like to wear with a headband (i have many of those). Toda Shalom!!
Shavua tov! So glad you enjoyed! I got the fall from a local sale. We don’t have any shops around here but a woman brought in a bunch from probably New York or the area and did a sale out of a private home. I think the brand is Mira. Hope that helps! I really enjoy the fall much more than a full Sheital.
Good morning lovely Chana! Thanks for the WITL video, I always enjoy seeing what's going on with you and your family. The bookmarks turned out so pretty! In my house there never can be too many bookmarks :D Also enjoyed seeing the little metal containers you used to pack your picnic lunch. Can you give any information about those? It's a draggy, rainy sort of day here today, so seeing your smiling face and watching you go about life with your kids is a nice pick-me-up.
I got the lunchboxes years and years ago and they aren’t carried where I purchased them. But if you search metal bento box on Amazon I’m sure you could find them or something similar :)
I have an ear infection. I talked my uncle in taking me to urgent care yesterday. They prescribed penicillin (which I've been on before for pneumonia). I was in their system already because the lab I go to is in the same system (with my insurance). They had my med list right on their computer. The ringing died down a LOT, and the pressure is much better. Today I got my lab work done, my mom took me, we also went to McDonald's for breakfast, and the library. I want to make rice crispy treats, but I don't have rice crispies.
Thank you for these videos! A highlight of my week. If you don’t mind sharing, where did you get that purple shirt you were wearing during the Sunday part of your video?
Hi Chana, I thoroughly enjoyed your WITL, I have the back door open and its a lovely day. The bookmarks are gorgeous and what a lovely thing for the children to make. Can I ask, what your were scooping out into bowls - it looked like sorbet, anyway it looked amazing. Instead of coffee today I have had watermelon ice lollies. Take care and try and get some good sleeps in.
listening to this while i finish my day at work ... best way to get me through the day - ALSO - saying you were watching Little House (i was a huge fan as a kid) - have you ever watched the 'wartime farm/victorian farm/edwardian farm" series? i will email you the links - i think you would love them.
I love watching your videos! They are very informative and endearing. I love the q&a’s with your husband. The interaction between you both shows the true partnership you share. I do have a question. When you are with your side of the family do they call you by your given name or your Jewish name?
Oh the book marks looked amazing What a fun project If you don’t mind can you tell me where you got your flower press ? So glad drs appointment went well❤️
Hope you guys liked the video! I love getting paid to give my opinion on products!

Thank you so much Annie! Hope you are having a good week too!
The bookmarks are really nice!!😊
You and I both when it comes to the cockroaches. One time I saw one on my roof and I had to call my mother into the bedroom just to take care of it. That woman chased the little varmint out our front door with a broom. It was the biggest heroic success I’ve ever witnessed all the while I was screaming on my bed
Yup that’s me! Give me snakes or spiders or literally anything else!
I love those metal type lunch containers! They’re awesome!
Yes they are!
Hi Chana...you're amazing!! Another lovely video.. you really do sooo well ,juggling everything..even though you said you felt anxious..my heart went out to you..
Sallyann
Thank you so much Sallyann!
I really love your videos, God bless your family and your baby, stay safe
Thank you Evelyn
Oh boy...love the bloopers !!!!
Exceptional episode! Loved the bookmarks, lunch and can so relate to all the little things that continually need to be accomplished! I really enjoy seeing all the creativity you bring to your homeschooling!
Thank you so much for your kind words Marina! Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi Chana, Hope you are feeling well. the bookmarks were a great project to make with the kids. They were so pretty with the flowers. Also, there aren't many people that can make a peanut butter sandwich look so yummy, but you manage to do it, and the fruit cutters are also an added treat. great also to get out and chat with friends. Kids had fun and so did you! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for taking us along! Can't wait to see next week's video! Have a great Shabbat and restful weekend. Tomorrow is my birthday and we will be spending the day at a frog jumping fair.
and we also totally loved the Green Ember series too!!
Happy happy birthday to you!!!! And so glad you enjoyed the Green Ember Series :) We are loving it so far too!
Hi, glad your baby is doing fine. Love the garden your children have n take care of. Great idea with the bookmarks with the pressed flowers 👍. Take care n see you next time. 🌻
I can't wait to see the harvest from your garden! I hope you are able to get some rest, third-trimester sleep was probably the worst of my whole pregnancy, so I tried to nap as much as I could.
Thank you 😊
Hi Chania. Thank you for taking med along for your life for just a bit. And thank you for being real. Take care. The bookmarks were lovely and I hope your son will harvest some watermelons. Here in Denmark Watermelons only grow in the greenhouse, but my friend managed to grow two last year😃in hers.
Thank you for your kind words!
What a great project with the pressed flowers. I used to press flowers years ago not sure if I still have my flower press.
Give yourself a break Moma. Your doing great. You have done more then enough for your family. My 5 are all grown and as I look back at my anxiety levels as wish I’d just relaxed. everything just works out 💕
Those bookmarks are gorgeous!
Thank you so much Aviva!
When anxiety hits, use your senses. Find 5 red things, taste 4 things, feel 3 things, listen for 2 sounds, etc. Also, "perspective". Is every ok? Do you have shelter, food, safety ? Losing our son taught us not to sweat the little stuff. If you are all safe and healthy, everything else is just gravy...
Hey Chana! Thanks for taking us along for the week. I feel you on the cockroaches. ;) Loved seeing the bento boxes. Have a wonderful day!
Thank you! You too!
@@jaroffireflies Thank you :)
HI CHANA ,THANKS FOR SHARING I LOVE THE BOOK MARKS AND THE CHILDREN'S GARDEN THAT IS SO NICE THE ZINNIAS WILL LOOK SO PRETTY WHEN THEY BLOOM I HAVE CACTUS 🌵 BLOOMING IN MY YARD OUT HERE IN ARIZONA I PURCHASE TWO GALLON PLANTS OF LAVANDER FOR 2.OO AT HOME DEPOT THEY WERE 9.99 BUT SUNDAY THEY PUT THEM FOR 2.00 EACH🥰🦋🦋🦋🌻🌻🌻🐝
I'm with ya about roaches. When my neighborhood had those giant water-bugs 3 years ago, I found myself thinking I might have to burn the house down with everything in it. Fortunately, a small rational part of my brain ventured the opinion that might just be overkill.
Since I have a chemical sensitivity which precludes using pesticides I felt pretty desperate, but I found something which surprised me by working: bay leaves. I spread a band of powdered bay leaves about 6" wide all around the perimeter of the house, plus some in the mulch on the garden beds. I also sprayed a mixture of Listerine mouthwash and spearmint all around the doors and windows every few days. Yes, my house was minty fresh. 😃 But it worked!
Can I just say how much I enjoy seeing you grow your baby? Since I'm housebound, I don't get to see many pregnant women anymore. It may feel awkward to you, but to me you look beautiful. You're getting the pregnant woman walk, too.
We usually think we're anxious because of this or that thing we're worried about, but I think sometimes it works the other way. That is, our body fires off some anxiety hormones which make our heart rate go up and our muscles tense and so on, and then our brain scrambles around looking for something to be anxious about to explain it. So suddenly we're worrying about things we'd normally take in stride, just to make sense of a biochemical hiccup.
Shavua Tov Chana. Loved this video. Since I’m a Bubba now, I am taking life a little bit easier. Just a little bit since grandchildren are my joy. I wanted to know where you got your lovely sheitel? Here in Brooklyn and in my community of course there are many shops but so expensive!! If convenient please let me know. I would like to wear with a headband (i have many of those). Toda Shalom!!
Shavua tov! So glad you enjoyed! I got the fall from a local sale. We don’t have any shops around here but a woman brought in a bunch from probably New York or the area and did a sale out of a private home. I think the brand is Mira. Hope that helps! I really enjoy the fall much more than a full Sheital.
Good morning lovely Chana! Thanks for the WITL video, I always enjoy seeing what's going on with you and your family. The bookmarks turned out so pretty! In my house there never can be too many bookmarks :D Also enjoyed seeing the little metal containers you used to pack your picnic lunch. Can you give any information about those? It's a draggy, rainy sort of day here today, so seeing your smiling face and watching you go about life with your kids is a nice pick-me-up.
I got the lunchboxes years and years ago and they aren’t carried where I purchased them. But if you search metal bento box on Amazon I’m sure you could find them or something similar :)
@@jaroffireflies Thank you
@@heatherinparis you’re so welcome!
May I say, I think you are very hard on yourself. You work very hard.
I have an ear infection. I talked my uncle in taking me to urgent care yesterday. They prescribed penicillin (which I've been on before for pneumonia). I was in their system already because the lab I go to is in the same system (with my insurance). They had my med list right on their computer. The ringing died down a LOT, and the pressure is much better. Today I got my lab work done, my mom took me, we also went to McDonald's for breakfast, and the library. I want to make rice crispy treats, but I don't have rice crispies.
I hope you feel better soon!!!
Thank you for these videos! A highlight of my week. If you don’t mind sharing, where did you get that purple shirt you were wearing during the Sunday part of your video?
Thank you for your kind words Anne! I got the purple shirt from Maya’s Place :)
Hi Chana, I thoroughly enjoyed your WITL, I have the back door open and its a lovely day. The bookmarks are gorgeous and what a lovely thing for the children to make. Can I ask, what your were scooping out into bowls - it looked like sorbet, anyway it looked amazing. Instead of coffee today I have had watermelon ice lollies. Take care and try and get some good sleeps in.
Thank you so much!
listening to this while i finish my day at work ... best way to get me through the day - ALSO - saying you were watching Little House (i was a huge fan as a kid) - have you ever watched the 'wartime farm/victorian farm/edwardian farm" series? i will email you the links - i think you would love them.
Thank you! I got the emails :) I’ll check it out!
I love watching your videos! They are very informative and endearing. I love the q&a’s with your husband. The interaction between you both shows the true partnership you share. I do have a question. When you are with your side of the family do they call you by your given name or your Jewish name?
They call me by the name they gave me :)
Oh the book marks looked amazing
What a fun project
If you don’t mind can you tell me where you got your flower press ?
So glad drs appointment went well❤️
Thank you Susan! The flower press was a handmade gift from a friend
Oh wow can I have that friend 😜😜
