I am a wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother to a two year old little girl. Allow me to tell all the younger moms out there........enjoy those babies and children now. I look at my family and wonder how in the world time flew by so fast. I look at them and wish I had done a few things differently. I wish I had not put so much pressure on myself for things that I now realize were not that important. Slow down. Spend more time than money. Kids won't remember what you bought them for Christmas, they will remember what you did with them. They will remember the traditions. They will remember how you made them feel. Taking care of a family is the most important thing you will ever do in your lifetime. Don't take a moment for granted.
Lovely words and so true ❤. My sons are young men now, and I wish I had not been such an anxious Mum, although we have enjoyed lovely times! Learning to live in the moment 😊 as time does just fly by 😒 🙏
You look so content and beautiful caring for the home. What a gift to yourself, your husband, your kids, and your spirituality. It just brings me joy to see another mama finding her way in her home, being in her element, and sharpening her skills. It is so underrated how special this is. I pray more women are called home and realize the beauty and joy of being a wife, mother, and homemaker. I am in my first trimester after miscarrying in April. God willing this baby would be my fifth with 1 in heaven. What a blessing to try again. I am currently in a season of rest. I am always tired during my first trimester. I feel much better cutting back on the grains and making protein a priority but until I get to my second trimester it’s just something I deal with. After that I usually feel pretty fantastic. I look forward to getting creative in the kitchen again. Right now I’m just keeping meals simple. I can’t wait to make the einkorn cookies for the family and the fat bombs for myself as I am currently nursing my toddler and pregnant so I could really use that. Thx for sharing as always. Peace and grace mama.
Watching your videos helped me feel better about my decision to be home with my children and be a homemaker. It seems so undervalued these days but I know that God called me to live this life.
Great video!! You should do a what I eat in a day video especially eating this way- I'm sure it would help some moms! (Including me as I'm struggling with similar things)
I feel like I can relate to you so well. I'm in my early 30s and had my 5th baby a month ago. I have also been slowing down and really savoring this sweet newborn stage and time with my kids. ❤
You and everyone supporting your channel are my people! Haha I love reading the comments! I love your content and agree with your perspectives and appreciate your research and values
Can you please do a video about when you stop co-sleeping, how you train the baby to sleep better? I co-sleep with my baby and he’s almost five months old, i feel like his lunching to me pretty much all night long 😅
I just love your videos! Your daughter looks like a MINI ME of you. She is so cute! and when she holds the new baby.....double adorable! Thanks for sharing your lovely home on the outside. I live alone but my dream home style is yours! Can't wait to see it after you paint it. See ya next week. Your Catholic friend in OHIO Nancy....
I have been having very similar health problems and I'm doing the GAPS diet. Not sure if that's what you're doing but it's helping me SO much. Glad we're on this gut healing journey together ❤
Im 29, and now I am a homemaker after six years of being a crematory operator. My husband works two jobs now to support us. And he said I'm just happier at home. It brings me such peace ❤ I feel like God has pushed me to my calling. My day to day life of caring for my three children and our home is easier and easier everyday. And now I find myself wanting more children. I had a miscarriage in March. But I just keep praying that God will bless us with more precious gifts. 🙏 ❤
I love your videos and all the cooking and bakeing i have learned so much from you. The learning will never stop i will keep watching and some of your videos i do save so i can go back to them and cook a full meals for the week. Thank you so much what would be nice is one day the two of us can sit down to a cup of tea or coffee and cookies ???
I just came across Karen Hurd's Bean Protocol. I am on day 3 and I can see improvement in my gut health already. Post virus my gut began to have slower motility and new sensitivities.
Hi, I just came across your channel yesterday and I’ve already watched so many videos. I am 25 with a 6 month old daughter and a SAHM. We have the same lifestyle and values, but obviously I’m not as experienced & wise as you. I’m still learning a lot. I do have a couple questions- 1) Do you spend a lot of time during the time with your babies working on their development? I have been told by other moms/pediatricians that babies need to be in “playtime” when they aren’t eating or sleeping. This only leaves time for me to cook & take care of other things when she is sleeping. What are your thoughts on this? 2) Also, when do you have time to deep clean the home and what does that look like? Please feel free to just point to a video if you have already talked about these things! :)
Thank you for these amazing videos! I'm a young women still under 20, but I wanted to ask what would be best to focus on health wise at this stage? (before kids, no known health problems, etc) I want to prepare myself the best I can for my future family and life but don't know where to begin. The first step has been taking desiccated liver for low iron. Your daughter is many years younger than I and other young women in my place, but I am interested to know what supplementation and other health approaches you implement and plan to introduce as she grows older. You're like an older sister on youtube who helps me prepare for and improve my life, thank you for that! God bless!
Hello, I am very interested in Thrive Market membership. We currently order occasionally from Azure Standard for bulk flours. I would order Thrive for pantry staples and like the idea they will be delivered to our door. Do we have to order every month? I would most likely order quarterly. Just making sure it is not an auto-ship situation. 🥰
can we get a video what exactly you eat. i have struggled with gut health for years and couldn’t find the cause i have monthly episodes that i just can’t explain so any information will be great. love your channel
I watched the other video but I can’t remember if you said: How long are you restricting grains and sugars for to heal your gut? I’m thinking of trying it for 6 weeks and adding in L-glutamine
What difference are you doing while breastfeeding? I assume more protein? Every time I’ve done Keto I lose weight real well but my supply drops and then I get pregnant right away again 😅
We make our own! Someday I may show more of the meat processing side here on TH-cam, but my husband has his system down and doesn’t wait for me to get my camera out lol!
“The toddler is around playing with the kittens. Hopefully not hurting them.” 😂😂 currently my situation as well 🤣🤣 Lots of adorable kittens running for their lives/ babysitting my children.
That is kind of terrifying - like can’t you just make sure your little one isn’t hurting a baby of another species? Seems like an odd thing to be lighthearted about.
@@trishanderson1505 Do you have children of your own? If not, then you wouldn’t understand the exaggeration for humor. Of COURSE my toddler isn’t actually left completely unattended with kittens to hurt them 🤦🏽♀️
I know probably everyone is recommending things , but there’s a gal I found on TH-cam (sue Becker-Bread beckers) her video is called the staff of life, the history of white flour. I know you do your homework on a lot and so did she. Degree in food science , but learned about what flour from a book (not govt schools/fda) highly recommend watching her video or listen to her podcast
I have a question on what sources you follow to do your research! I want so badly to do research for my pregnancy but I feel like I don’t know where to start!
Where is your baby swing from? I'm sure I'm beat because I'm in Canada lol but im dying to know:) PS. Great job mamma. I'm homesteading alone in Northern Ontario because I am the black sheep in all the generations of my family lol but it's people like you that keep people like me, doing it alone going and motivated!!( boyfriend also goes off to work for up to two months at a time to afford our life) But I pull my weight and my god, this life ain't for the weak or comfy that's for damn sure lol! xo
Seeing your toddler out in the driveway, as the pickup with the hay wagon drives up, reminded me to tell young families, and even grandparents, watching little ones, to be confident you know where your children are, before backing up, especially with farm equipment. Just this week, a family about 4 miles from us, lost their 3-year old child, when one of the parents accidently backed over him. I also have a friend whose husband was driving a wagon for a Halloween wagon ride, and one of their small children fell between the wagon and the tractor,and was run over and killed, when the wagon rolled over him! We know God has a purpose in all things, and those two little ones are in Heaven, praising Jesus today, but we need to slow down, as you have said. Never be in such a rush, that accidents happen, that will change your life forever!
The Plath family of the show Plathville also had a vehicle tradgety. The mom ran over their toddler years ago. How does anyone get over that? Praying for strength is an understatement. I have not heard of these you mention above but gives me chills! I am sure her hubby saw her toddler there but always a good reminder.
Help! Trying to make your pullman sized "pain de mie" bread recipe. ( Sorry if I spelled it wrong) It seems to have disappeared! The link in your shorts video is not leading me to the recipe either. Help?!
Found it on your blog! Was looking for the *video, so I had a better idea if my dough was to "wet." Hopefully it will turn out like last time, good! Its had to find recipes that fit this pan. Love this pan!
from Thrive Market's blog: "How Thrive Market and The Pride Pantry are Nourishing LA's LGBTQIA+ Community"...This doesn't seem like something a Christian should be supporting or promoting. Not sure if you knew about this or not.
“They also will answer, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you? He will reply, 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me. (Read Matthew 25:37-45)
@@RobertaStonequist Absolutely! I'm not saying withhold food from someone gay; I'm more questioning the company that is only giving to an LGBTQ "family in need." If a company committed to giving to a Christian family in need people would be irate.
OK here here we go blaming vaccination and babies that are in daycare for fussy babies🙄 I had four children they were all never sick they were vaccinated,I did not breast-feed and my fourth actually did go to daycare after a year and they were simply amazing !so Mama’s don’t let her fool you that you’re doing something wrong because you choose to do things differently!
I don't doubt your children are amazing, but this is for the most part, NOT what you should be doing. I praise this gal for speaking out about it. Trust God above men
Just because your kids are fine, doesn't mean all kids are. It's definitely better to be present in your child's life. Daycare shouldn't be so normalized.

Hi!! Can you please show videos of what you eat in a day? Would love lots of recipe ideas! ❤❤❤
Great video!! You should do a what I eat in a day video especially eating this way- I'm sure it would help some moms! (Including me as I'm struggling with similar things)
I went carnivore 9 months ago and now I took myself off of levothyroxine. Had my blood work and thyroid levels normal! We need fat and protein
Amazing!! 👏🏽
I also think that complexed carbs, get blamed for what refined carbs have done. Thanks for such a relaxing video.

Thank you for sharing your life with us! Love your channel! ❤
Appreciate your videos so much, thank you!❤
those jean shorts are perfect!!! where did you get them?
I wish these videos were longer. ❤💙
Finding contentment in each stage of life is HUGE ❤
Thanks for the video! You make a great point that as the children grow up, they can really help around the house.
I’m wanting to try the whole30 as well I’d love to hear more what you eat during this time

can we get a video what exactly you eat. i have struggled with gut health for years and couldn’t find the cause i have monthly episodes that i just can’t explain so any information will be great. love your channel
Yes that’s next weeks video! With recipes!
How do you manage picky eating in kids or refusal to eat certain things? I struggle with this a lot with my two young boys and I’d love some advice!
I watched the other video but I can’t remember if you said: How long are you restricting grains and sugars for to heal your gut? I’m thinking of trying it for 6 weeks and adding in L-glutamine
Where did you get your dress? It’s so pretty!
What type of wrap are you wearing for the baby in your back? I love it! ❤
Enjoyed the o😊
Enjoyed 😅
What difference are you doing while breastfeeding? I assume more protein? Every time I’ve done Keto I lose weight real well but my supply drops and then I get pregnant right away again 😅
Oh my goodness I’m milking currently and it’s the biggest blessing/burden ever lol 😂
Could you do a short or video about baby wearing? That back carry looks amazing but I cannot figure it out for the life of me!!

When you start milking again find some kefir grains & start making kefir! Kefir will heal your gut in no time!
I second this! Although you can use store-bought milk too. I use store-bought when our cow isn't in milk
I love kefir! Using Alexandres now until the cows calve!
What's the paint color on your walls? It's very pretty.
Aesthetic white - I love it, very warm!
