Happily married 47 years, no children. God is good. We have a full and wonderful life! Retired RN. Boundaries are good and appropriate. Love your videos.
Your a sweet / Beautiful young lady who answered Personal questions with Grace...People can be really rude without thinking about How rude theyre being...Just like asking a woman theyre age or weight !! You placed a lot of thoughtfulness in your answers ♥️ Its not anyone's business, You share what you want to share. Plain & simple !!
I understand the kids question. My wife and I tried for 8 years before having our daughter through IVF 3 months ago. I understand the hurt and frustration about having to say it doesn't bother you when deep down you are frustrated. I know so many people didn't mean to be rude or hurtful but you are right it's a hard thing to always put a happy face on about. We were married for 11 years and it was always a question and it truly sucked.
I would love to see what you do to help with anxiety! I have started to struggle with anxiety since August and could use all the tips and tricks I can get. I don't want to take medicine, I'm not comfortable taking meds at all. All helpful tips would be greatly appreciated! Thank you up front!
I wish you the best combating your anxiety. I know that exercise and sunlight have helped me fight off depression, which is often a sign of anxiety and vice versa. Regular exercise... 20-30 minutes daily, or more, just walking for instance, which is what I mostly do, helps so much. Sunshine helps your body to produce Vitamin D, which is HUGE in keeping your body healthy, not just for strong bones, but for gut health, physical health fighting illnesses, or even preventing them. And also found to greatly help fight depression. There have been many studies in recent years to show the beneficial effects of Vitamin D, and the vast majority of us are deficient in Vitamin D. Take a good look at Mayo Clinic, or CDC, or NIH or other health facilities and experts to read more about these studies. And it can't hurt to get yourself tested for Vitamin D levels. You may need a supplement and if you have a doctor who is forward thinking regarding preventative health care, that should be easy to make happen. Wishing you the best in your fight against anxiety. (p.s. hormone levels can sometimes be off too, and I'm not talking about just "male/female" hormones, but our whole body is regulated by hormones! Depression, Anxiety, weight gain and loss, digestion of food, etc. etc. etc. all hormone based, which are essentially just chemical reactions within our physical body) (p.s.s. I am not a doctor, but have been in the Medical field as a former EMT and later as a Medical Laboratory Technician)
@@kblewis3331 Greatly appreciate the words. I've already contacted my doctor about getting my levels tested on a regular basis. Up until 2 months ago I never really worked out. Never needed to as I've always been skinny and healthy (to an extent.) lol But I'll look into everything else. Thank you!
Yes! Please talk about your journey through you anxiety..my daughter struggles greatly with anxiety and depression...your whole families TH-cam channels are my favourite to watch.
Would love to hear more about anxiety I myself have had a few bouts with it in the last few months. I love your channel, Jay and the cornstarch family. Nave and Natalie are pretty special young ladies as well. They pair perfectly with Cole and Cooper. Your parents are the best videographers too they both are so fun to watch!!! Much love, Eudene from Southeast GA.
Summer I also have anxiety and depression issues. I would love to hear your take on your anxiety and mental health oh, I believe mental health is a very important part of life, and now more than ever there are things in this world that mess with our mental health whether it is the food we eat or whatever. Keep up the good work summer
Hi Summer. I’ve been a RN for 15 years, and I so agree (especially the past two years) with your healthcare view. I still haven’t figured out what else I want to do, but when I leave nursing I know I’ll never go back to it. I’m glad I found you and your family, you all are good people. 😊
That was an awesome Q&A. 👍 And yes, it's God's will if you have children, to which I can attest from experience. I was married twice before and have 3 grown children from those whom I was fortunate enough to raise and love dearly. I remarried a 3rd time in 2007 and believe me, we tried. We aalllllll-most gave up on it, and then my lovely wife became pregnant in 2013 and had a baby at the age of 40. That little girl turns 8 this April. She's muh pride-n-joy. 🤩
I love how pretty and perfect your hair is. I would love to hear your husband preach a short sermon. You guys are living for the lord and there is no better way to live. God will take care of you both and keep you safe and happy.
Having a sister that has had fertility issues, I Hate when people ask couples if or when they are going to have children. I agree,you should really stop and think before you ask that question. I also admire your decision about nursing. I have been an RN for 38 years. Most of my career was in the hospital setting. I now do telephone triage. Nursing is hard! Do what makes you happy and yes you can always go back to it someday if you chose.
The way my daughter put it about kids was she wanted time to do college, get a good job, and have some time to just enjoy life as an adult. Then she'd have a kid. If she hasn't had one by 30, there wouldn't be any. I love your gardening, thrifting and home remodel videos. I'm jealous of some of the things you find thrifting. I never find anything that nice in any of the thrift stores by me.
Hi, I was 37 when I had my daughter, I was career minded and so focused on money. Now, she's 27 and has a 2 year old, and I'm loving life as an oldster, with time for my darling grandson.. Never say never.. ☺️❤️
My experience is that most fellow parents at my children's schools also waited til after 30 to have kids. You can safely have kids generally these days til about age 42.
Every time I called my mom and said, “guess what?” She always said, “you’re pregnant!” Even after menopause and after I turned 60. I never had kids. I’m 72, a widow of 12 years and retired. I’m okay being alone. I do have an amazing stepdaughter who is 50. She owns a dance school. She doesn’t feel it’s necessary to have kids. She and her husband travel a lot, as did my husband and I.
Thank you Summer for a really lovely video sharing more of yourself. You have the same talent in communicating that Cole has. You are a beautiful young lady, in so many ways, reflecting the values of your wonderful parents. Best wishes to you and Jay.😃👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️
Summer to me this is your best video. Reasons are a spirit of Peace from God, you actually look free and happy, and the credits you give to God and your Mom. Prayer and love to you dear.
I do suffer from anxiety myself as well too, sounds like 2022 is going to be a big year for you Summer, i have been offered a new job so I'm pretty excited about it, thanks for sharing your video, I haven't been to Iowa for a long time
Great vid and well presented. I think you’re very smart and deliberate about what you do and don’t share on your channel. I’d like to see a session on dealing with your anxiety. Anxiety is rampant in today’s society and I think any information with how you personally dealt with it would be great. Loved hearing about your journey with your spiritual life as well. It told me volumes about you and your personal growth! Blessings to you and Jay. You guys are going to be great parents whenever God blesses you with a child.
Can’t wait to see you do the kitchen! I want to remodel ours this summer. Love your Reno’s and organization projects. My husband and I were married for 6 years before we had kids. I will pray for you 💜 I also get anxious at times and it goes up and down. I work in education and that has been a main source of my anxiety in the past. I would like to hear what has worked for you in past and present.
If you have tips and strategies for helping with anxiety, I'm sure that would benefit a lot of people. I know for me, and for others, anxiety is something that a lot of us go through at one time or another, so yeah...I like the idea of you speaking to that topic.

Hi Summer! I totally understand the pregnancy question. I had one pregnancy in my 20’s which I lost at 15 weeks. Never another. Always asked and despite my heartache I always answered with an upbeat response. At 30, two weeks after my yearly exam with my doctor since I was 18 I had a pain like I cannot describe in my right side. Took me to the floor and I almost blacked out. Mother took me to the ER where fortunately the top OB/GYN happened to be on call. After my exam I started to sit up and he literally pushed me back down. No way other than to say this he said but….you have a tumor so large it’s filled your entire abdominal cavity and has no where to go. If you sneeze, cough, tie your shoes or bend in any way and it ruptures there’s nothing we can do. My heart stopped and my Mom’s face said it all. What? I’d just had an exam! Shortly I could hear the ER doctor literally screaming at someone. Then I realized it was my OB/GYN!!!!!! Telling him how incompetent he was and he shouldn’t have a license and he better pray he could get me through this or he would recommend a lawsuit for malpractice!!!! Omg! He had been one of the best in town. I just remember being admitted and bed rest only. No getting up, period! Massive antibiotics for 2 days then a 4 hour surgery and a 12” incision. Thank goodness he kept me sedated in ICU those 2 days. After the surgery he woke me up saying he got it. It was on my right ovary and my left was growing one too. He kept saying it wasn’t cancer! I didn’t know he suspected that. He had no idea after massive hormone, thyroid and every other tests he could run what was going on. Years later a hysterectomy. Then…….I found out at 40 what caused everything. Auto immune disease. Full blown Lupus, RA and Psoriatic Arthritis. Sometimes God has other plans for us and that’s okay. I raised 2 beautiful step-children that filled my heart with joy and now my great-nieces and nephews do. Even though my dream didn’t happen I was and am blessed. I was somehow able during all that illness to get my nursing license also. God bless sweetheart. 🌺
Glad to see you get some time off after a busy harvest. You all deserve some much needed vacation time! We have alot in common.. I love gardening, remodeling, thrifting, refinishing furniture and learning new ideas and things! Never tried the oils but would like to. Would love more details on what you use and how you use it. When it comes to having children, that's a pretty personal question! You handled all of the questions with such grace! I think couples should take time to do all the things you want to do before you have kids. Plus I think it makes the relationship stronger in preparation for that day as it will change your life forever. Take the time to do all the crazy fun things you can think of to do now! I see a cute little girl with blondie curls in your future! It will happen when the time is right! God's got this! Thanks for sharing your journey!
*⏩ Yes, please share your experience and solutions to anxiety.* My daughter really suffers from it. Thank you, Summer! ♥ PS. I agree about joining a Woman's Bible study. It is fantastic and kind of like a support group with spiritual encouragement. You don't necessarily have to be a Christian to join, for any women wondering. You can call the churches on your area to find out more.
I hope you're considering getting infertility assessment. I went through it in my early thirties, I never got a definite answer why we didn't have kids. I just know it can take time and the sooner you figure out what is causing the issue the more likely you could fix it. But the Lord does provide us with what we need.
Happy New Year Blessings I am looking forward to spring as I pour over seed catalogs to plan out 3 new veggies to grow and preserve for this year's food resource. I truly enjoy listening learning and sharing with others garden, flowers and raising chickens with others. I appreciate you sharing your organization and home improvements. I have found several to be extra helpful. Woman of faith, warriors in our faith individually or in community is something I hunger for. It's so refreshing to see an or hear you share. We all need a boost 🤗 You and Jay build your foundation with Christ as your corner stone. God will Bless you both in his perfect timing. Children our a beautiful quiver in are bows. You will be beautiful in what he has in store for you both. Enjoy the deep breathes of farm life right now. Joy to you
Thank you for addressing the anxiety issue. At 82 with all that is going on in our country and the world, I find myself feeling that way. Your suggestion of a Bible Study (with an older group of ladies in my case) would probably be very helpful. God Bless
Yes! Please make a video on how to alleviate anxiety. Like you my anxiety has gone through the roof this past year and I would greatly appreciate any help that you could offer 🤗💖🙏🏻✝️
Me and my wife waited for children to happen and have been thru the emotional rollercoaster it can be. With a small amount of medical treatment, we have three. I feel so grateful that it worked out for us and would like to offer my support for you and just encourage you to stay positive Summer. I also have a friend who had challenges have chidden with his wife and with some more involved treatment, they have one. Stay positive Summer.
You for sure could make a living being a professional organizer! Love your videos. It's nice of you to answer questions. It makes me angry when people ask other people about having children. It can be so hurtful. We appreciate you and your Cornstar family 💗.
I have a niece who lives in a town in NE Iowa. She was a teacher in a town with a prison. That town had a fair amount of women with children living there on purpose because the father was in the prison. She had so many verbally abusive students that she had to quit. She was called things I won’t post here. She wasn’t teaching for a few years and she finally got a job as a teacher at a private school and the positive difference from the previous job is huge.
Summer, Right now I'm sat here a wise old 61 years of age. We got married in 1985 and for the first 5 years just had a hoot together. Never really considered kids as a subject until our families became "concerned" . It was like, revelation! Oh! Yes. OK. So we got Caitlin and moved on. When we! decided for another it took a long time to get Tom! 5 years. My advice to you is, stay private, optimistic and when the day comes pretty much keep your baby to yourselves with guest appearances. Very much enjoy listening to your fresh approach to life. Regards Stephen.
I have a gardening tip ,,if you will bury a handful of cow minerals under each tomato plant ,,you will never stop thanking me for telling you.also the deer blocks or minerals even work better
Thanks, Summer, great video. Many times people just don’t know what to say so they ask standard questions such as plans for starting a family. I was only 19 when we married so got that question endlessly. Five or so years later we felt ready, but the Lord had other plans. We actually had people asking us if we liked kids or not (at the time we were youth leaders, Sunday School teachers, VBS leaders, etc.). We are private people so did not share with anyone that we had gone through basic fertility testing and procedures with no results or answers. We trusted that God had everything under control but will admit constant questions or comments about having kids was tough sometimes. We did after much prayer investigate adoption and adopted a newborn baby girl (who is now around your age). Two years later we looked in to adopting again and ended up conceiving and now also have a boy (actually now a 21 year old man). Long story short, just an encouragement not to let people’s questions discourage you as most really do mean well and as you stated to also encourage others to think before feeling the need to ask as it is a very personal situation and they really may not be aware of struggles or discouragement being experienced in that area. Thank you for being such a lovely, kind, and sweet encouragement to us ❤️
Fun fact, bleach can be used to disinfect drinking water. And we had to use bleach water overseas to clean produce because it was grown in night soil. When it comes to bleach, dilution is the solution...and it can be safe to spray in your mouth.
Hey Summer . Hope your New Year is Joyfilled and Blessed .Love the Q&A , Hopefully people will fall in love with all your Honesty,and good finds and decorating tips. Yep another satisfying video Summer
Hello Summer! So nice to see you today! I am always inspired your positive outlook in your videos. Happy to hear you are thinking about coming to Utah! I, of course, can't say enough good things about it. Hope you have a nice break!
*⏩ Friendly suggestion:* I'd wait until you're at least 30 to have kids. Then do all the things you want to do NOW and really really ENJOY it (especially things, trips, etc. with your husband.) Kids are definitely the very best part of life, but they also take up ALL of your, and your husband's time. *When you are ready to have kids, start taking your temperature every day at about the same time. When it goes up, you're ovulating.* I'm a devout Christian also, and this technique worked great for us, and for both of our children. It was told to me by my devout Christian MD and worked like a charm right away!
Summer, I would love to hear how you can help with anxiety. I suffer with it. I love hearing you answer the questions. Thank you. Looking forward to seeing more. Hugs ❤️
As a woman who was married 8 yrs before having children-2; girl then boy-we tried for 6 of those 8 yrs. Although I wished they would have come sooner, I would not trade those 8 yrs. Alot of fun was had. Downside? Husband suffered a TBI when son was turning 3 (he will be 19 this year) & was not a 'hands on parent'. I've pretty much raised them myself. Yes. We are still married and he is able to work & do everything. A bit of a speech impediment as a result. Short tempered too. Cause of TBI? Motorcycle vs double trailered semi with no helmet. He was on his way to work on a summer day in July. Anyway, I'm a state away in Illinois and have watched yours & Cole's channels for quite some time. Glad you & Jay are trusting your process through the baby issue. It can be very emotional & stressful.
My goodness but you are wise beyond your years. You exemplify Piety. Write books. Consider a speaking tour. Go from school to school offering to speak at assemblies. Offer to appear on your local TV station explaining how to live a life. The world will become a better place.
You are strong to let people know of your anxiety I to suffer from anxiety somedays are better than others as I am a care giver for my wife she has been bed ridden for over 8 years I take care of her at night and she has to have PCA help during the day while I work. I have been taking medication for around 10 years which has helped a lot.
Me and my wife tried for 8 years. Got pregnant and had a miscarriage. I used to be quite rude when people asked that question. Then all of a sudden boom we r pregnant. As you said god has a plan. I am glad you explained that it’s not just gonna happen because you got married.
We married at 21 and had our only child at 30. I had one miscarriage at 29. We tried for more until we were 37. We were very much in the area that God will let us know. We had no more but we were blessed with our wonderful 29 year old daughter.
Good Q & A time, one of the things I was curious about was your relationship with God. I kinda figured your family is Godly people, but not much is ever mentioned, but I could tell. Thank you for answering that question. Good luck with the new job.
Memorial day to labor day is me and my wife's favorite season also known as rummage sale season. Right on its all in Gods hands. I have had mine all young and worked out for me with my health going down in age so understand why God wanted me to have them young. Its all in Gods hands he knows when it is the right time
I enjoy and love your families faith and it is a power many do not understand. We would move to Iowa from Minnesota to get away from the looong winters. We have a daughter in Peoria Ill. and we love it in the area where you live when passing through to visit her. Thank you for the video!!
god has so much for you and your loving husband and i pray for you and your beautiful family and my god be with you in all your life and projects and love watching your chanel and Cols and Daddy cornstar i so get so much from you all so thanks and god bless
I struggle with anxiety as well it has tried to control my life since family loses and being hit head on by drunk driver which put my wife in a coma for six months prayer at her hospital bed daily our faith in God pulled her through. She is still recovering from traumatic brain injury. Anxiety is a dark spirit which seems to control and destroy it's victims. My faith in Jesus is my strength and helps me overcome daily. I love watching TH-cam you and Cole are channels we watch and like and my wife likes Nave's worship videos. I pray for your family to always trust in God's mercy and grace and Overcome Always.
Glad to hear you're coming to Florida, we love it here. Can't wait to see your videos with Nave on vacation you two are a riot when together. I hope you plan your time wisely as there is so much to do here.

RN for 27 years. I also walked away and will NEVER go back. Health care is not what it was when I started.
I’m an RN as well. The deception and the need to ‘look away’ just to keep a job is horrible. All I can think of is end times culture
Love hearing about your faith journey and drawing closer to God over the last year!!
That was an awesome Q&A. 👍
And yes, it's God's will if you have children, to which I can attest from experience.

Accepting God's timing with such calm maturity. WHAT A PRECIOUS GIFT! You are going to be such wonderful parent when it is time!
Thanks for answering our questions. You've got such a great attitude!

No way other than to say this he said but….you have a tumor so large it’s filled your entire abdominal cavity and has no where to go. If you sneeze, cough, tie your shoes or bend in any way and it ruptures there’s nothing we can do. My heart stopped and my Mom’s face said it all. What? I’d just had an exam! Shortly I could hear the ER doctor literally screaming at someone. Then I realized it was my OB/GYN!!!!!!
Telling him how incompetent he was and he shouldn’t have a license and he better pray he could get me through this or he would recommend a lawsuit for malpractice!!!! Omg! He had been one of the best in town. I just remember being admitted and bed rest only. No getting up, period! Massive antibiotics for 2 days then a 4 hour surgery and a 12” incision. Thank goodness he kept me sedated in ICU those 2 days. After the surgery he woke me up saying he got it. It was on my right ovary and my left was growing one too. He kept saying it wasn’t cancer! I didn’t know he suspected that. He had no idea after massive hormone, thyroid and every other tests he could run what was going on. Years later a hysterectomy. Then…….I found out at 40 what caused everything. Auto immune disease. Full blown Lupus, RA and Psoriatic Arthritis. Sometimes God has other plans for us and that’s okay. I raised 2 beautiful step-children that filled my heart with joy and now my great-nieces and nephews do. Even though my dream didn’t happen I was and am blessed. I was somehow able during all that illness to get my nursing license also. God bless sweetheart. 🌺
Glad to see you get some time off after a busy harvest. You all deserve some much needed vacation time! We have alot in common.. I love gardening, remodeling, thrifting, refinishing furniture and learning new ideas and things! Never tried the oils but would like to. Would love more details on what you use and how you use it. When it comes to having children, that's a pretty personal question! You handled all of the questions with such grace! I think couples should take time to do all the things you want to do before you have kids. Plus I think it makes the relationship stronger in preparation for that day as it will change your life forever. Take the time to do all the crazy fun things you can think of to do now! I see a cute little girl with blondie curls in your future! It will happen when the time is right! God's got this! Thanks for sharing your journey!
*⏩ Yes, please share your experience and solutions to anxiety.* My daughter really suffers from it. Thank you, Summer! ♥
PS. I agree about joining a Woman's Bible study. It is fantastic and kind of like a support group with spiritual encouragement. You don't necessarily have to be a Christian to join, for any women wondering. You can call the churches on your area to find out more.
I hope you're considering getting infertility assessment. I went through it in my early thirties, I never got a definite answer why we didn't have kids. I just know it can take time and the sooner you figure out what is causing the issue the more likely you could fix it. But the Lord does provide us with what we need.
For everything there is a season. You have to enjoy the time you are in. The next step is coming, so no regrets enjoy the process.
Enjoy your life as a couple and when it happens it happens. :)
Happy New Year Blessings
I am looking forward to spring as I pour over seed catalogs to plan out 3 new veggies to grow and preserve for this year's food resource. I truly enjoy listening learning and sharing with others garden, flowers and raising chickens with others.
I appreciate you sharing your organization and home improvements. I have found several to be extra helpful.
Woman of faith, warriors in our faith individually or in community is something I hunger for. It's so refreshing to see an or hear you share. We all need a boost 🤗
You and Jay build your foundation with Christ as your corner stone. God will Bless you both in his perfect timing. Children our a beautiful quiver in are bows. You will be beautiful in what he has in store for you both.
Enjoy the deep breathes of farm life right now. Joy to you
What a wonderful job, you are a natural in front of the camera! Looking forward to the Garden💐🤗
Well you in your garden is my favorite part of the channel.
Thank you for addressing the anxiety issue. At 82 with all that is going on in our country and the world, I find myself feeling that way. Your suggestion of a Bible Study (with an older group of ladies in my case) would probably be very helpful. God Bless
Yes! Please make a video on how to alleviate anxiety. Like you my anxiety has gone through the roof this past year and I would greatly appreciate any help that you could offer
🤗💖🙏🏻✝️
Talking about anxiety and how to cope will benefit many of us.
Me and my wife waited for children to happen and have been thru the emotional rollercoaster it can be. With a small amount of medical treatment, we have three. I feel so grateful that it worked out for us and would like to offer my support for you and just encourage you to stay positive Summer. I also have a friend who had challenges have chidden with his wife and with some more involved treatment, they have one. Stay positive Summer.
Summer so proud of you to stand up for your values! Go you!!!!
You for sure could make a living being a professional organizer! Love your videos. It's nice of you to answer questions. It makes me angry when people ask other people about having children. It can be so hurtful. We appreciate you and your Cornstar family 💗.
I have a niece who lives in a town in NE Iowa. She was a teacher in a town with a prison. That town had a fair amount of women with children living there on purpose because the father was in the prison. She had so many verbally abusive students that she had to quit. She was called things I won’t post here. She wasn’t teaching for a few years and she finally got a job as a teacher at a private school and the positive difference from the previous job is huge.
You are such a sweetheart! I just love your values and how you care so passionately about what you do. God will continue to bless you and Jay.
Summer, Right now I'm sat here a wise old 61 years of age. We got married in 1985 and for the first 5 years just had a hoot together. Never really considered kids as a subject until our families became "concerned" . It was like, revelation! Oh! Yes. OK. So we got Caitlin and moved on. When we! decided for another it took a long time to get Tom! 5 years. My advice to you is, stay private, optimistic and when the day comes pretty much keep your baby to yourselves with guest appearances. Very much enjoy listening to your fresh approach to life. Regards Stephen.
Please do the video on your mental health journey- so many of us have issues and building a tool box from many sources is helpful!!
I have a gardening tip ,,if you will bury a handful of cow minerals under each tomato plant ,,you will never stop thanking me for telling you.also the deer blocks or minerals even work better
I also suffer from anxiety it started years ago and has gotten worse as I've gotten older.
Oh summer I just learned that if you put Lang Lang on your cheek to settle some tooth aches it works extremely well!!!🧑⚕️💯💫💫
Girl u do u take it easy while your off we all need our time🤷♀️👍🤗❤💯
A really good Q&A, thank you.
Thanks, Summer, great video. Many times people just don’t know what to say so they ask standard questions such as plans for starting a family. I was only 19 when we married so got that question endlessly. Five or so years later we felt ready, but the Lord had other plans. We actually had people asking us if we liked kids or not (at the time we were youth leaders, Sunday School teachers, VBS leaders, etc.). We are private people so did not share with anyone that we had gone through basic fertility testing and procedures with no results or answers. We trusted that God had everything under control but will admit constant questions or comments about having kids was tough sometimes. We did after much prayer investigate adoption and adopted a newborn baby girl (who is now around your age). Two years later we looked in to adopting again and ended up conceiving and now also have a boy (actually now a 21 year old man). Long story short, just an encouragement not to let people’s questions discourage you as most really do mean well and as you stated to also encourage others to think before feeling the need to ask as it is a very personal situation and they really may not be aware of struggles or discouragement being experienced in that area. Thank you for being such a lovely, kind, and sweet encouragement to us ❤️
Thank you for sharing your story!
SUM BLESSED STUFF Thank you Summer, for being you. ❤️🌻❤️🌻❤️
God’s timing is perfect. Blessings for an amazing 2022!
Great answers Enjoyed the conversation. God Bless 🙏
That was so well said about kids Summer🥰I find it rude of people to ask about something so personal😑
Very good video Summer thanks for standing up for your values
Fun fact, bleach can be used to disinfect drinking water. And we had to use bleach water overseas to clean produce because it was grown in night soil. When it comes to bleach, dilution is the solution...and it can be safe to spray in your mouth.
We all like ya lls family great work summer take care of daddy cornstarch and momma constant God bless
Hey Summer . Hope your New Year is Joyfilled and Blessed .Love the Q&A , Hopefully people will fall in love with all your Honesty,and good finds and decorating tips. Yep another satisfying video Summer
Hello Summer! So nice to see you today! I am always inspired your positive outlook in your videos. Happy to hear you are thinking about coming to Utah! I, of course, can't say enough good things about it. Hope you have a nice break!
I can see you accomplishing a lot in life! You really are a go-getter.
*⏩ Friendly suggestion:*
I'd wait until you're at least 30 to have kids. Then do all the things you want to do NOW and really really ENJOY it (especially things, trips, etc. with your husband.) Kids are definitely the very best part of life, but they also take up ALL of your, and your husband's time. *When you are ready to have kids, start taking your temperature every day at about the same time. When it goes up, you're ovulating.* I'm a devout Christian also, and this technique worked great for us, and for both of our children. It was told to me by my devout Christian MD and worked like a charm right away!
I needed surgery and medication to get my 3 children. Don’t wait too long before seeking help or testing.
That was good of Cole to give you Christmas off ,, I really like his videos when you edit them
Summer, I would love to hear how you can help with anxiety. I suffer with it. I love hearing you answer the questions. Thank you. Looking forward to seeing more. Hugs ❤️
Continue following Gods will for you Summer he will be with you I think you will make a great mother
I have been a nurse for many many years. I can totally relate to how you feel!!!
As a woman who was married 8 yrs before having children-2; girl then boy-we tried for 6 of those 8 yrs. Although I wished they would have come sooner, I would not trade those 8 yrs. Alot of fun was had. Downside? Husband suffered a TBI when son was turning 3 (he will be 19 this year) & was not a 'hands on parent'. I've pretty much raised them myself. Yes. We are still married and he is able to work & do everything. A bit of a speech impediment as a result. Short tempered too. Cause of TBI? Motorcycle vs double trailered semi with no helmet. He was on his way to work on a summer day in July. Anyway, I'm a state away in Illinois and have watched yours & Cole's channels for quite some time. Glad you & Jay are trusting your process through the baby issue. It can be very emotional & stressful.
thank you for sharing your story!
Have you ever thought about a green house project
My goodness but you are wise beyond your years. You exemplify Piety. Write books. Consider a speaking tour. Go from school to school offering to speak at assemblies. Offer to appear on your local TV station explaining how to live a life. The world will become a better place.
You are strong to let people know of your anxiety I to suffer from anxiety somedays are better than others as I am a care giver for my wife she has been bed ridden for over 8 years I take care of her at night and she has to have PCA help during the day while I work. I have been taking medication for around 10 years which has helped a lot.
Thank you for sharing your Faith. God bless.
I agree 100% Summer. Having a child will come when the Lord wants it to. I had my son at age 39. Was married at age 26.
Thanks Summer, looking forward to 2022 myself.
Me and my wife tried for 8 years. Got pregnant and had a miscarriage. I used to be quite rude when people asked that question. Then all of a sudden boom we r pregnant. As you said god has a plan. I am glad you explained that it’s not just gonna happen because you got married.
We married at 21 and had our only child at 30. I had one miscarriage at 29. We tried for more until we were 37. We were very much in the area that God will let us know. We had no more but we were blessed with our wonderful 29 year old daughter.
Try taking magnesium for anxiety. I left medical field also, I refer to it as a sick care system.
Summer , your a beautiful person . Inside and out. Your honest and sincere person, and I like that. God bless you and Jay . 🥰🌹
I really enjoyed your Q&A Summer and you are just a beautiful person Happy New Year to you and Jay
I would love to watch when you talk about anxiety.
Good Q & A time, one of the things I was curious about was your relationship with God. I kinda figured your family is Godly people, but not much is ever mentioned, but I could tell. Thank you for answering that question. Good luck with the new job.
Memorial day to labor day is me and my wife's favorite season also known as rummage sale season. Right on its all in Gods hands. I have had mine all young and worked out for me with my health going down in age so understand why God wanted me to have them young. Its all in Gods hands he knows when it is the right time
I enjoy and love your families faith and it is a power many do not understand. We would move to Iowa from Minnesota to get away from the looong winters. We have a daughter in Peoria Ill. and we love it in the area where you live when passing through to visit her. Thank you for the video!!
god has so much for you and your loving husband and i pray for you and your beautiful family and my god be with you in all your life and projects and love watching your chanel and Cols and Daddy cornstar i so get so much from you all so thanks and god bless
Lots of knowledge you have. Or should I say, great perspective on life and things in general.
I struggle with anxiety as well it has tried to control my life since family loses and being hit head on by drunk driver which put my wife in a coma for six months prayer at her hospital bed daily our faith in God pulled her through. She is still recovering from traumatic brain injury. Anxiety is a dark spirit which seems to control and destroy it's victims. My faith in Jesus is my strength and helps me overcome daily. I love watching TH-cam you and Cole are channels we watch and like and my wife likes Nave's worship videos. I pray for your family to always trust in God's mercy and grace and Overcome Always.
Please talk about how you delt with anxiety, Thanks
Glad to hear you're coming to Florida, we love it here. Can't wait to see your videos with Nave on vacation you two are a riot when together. I hope you plan your time wisely as there is so much to do here.
I am unsure if there will be much filming but I am sure there will be something to share!
Great job. Happy near year 2022. Keep up the good work.
You are a beautiful soul,I’m sure God has a wonderful life planned for you and yours,God bless.
I like the projects and gardening
I would like to see more of you interacting with Ollie 😻
