Congratulations honey, you’ve reached the point in life where errands count as a date 😂🎉
So true😂
🤭😂 very true
A new aldi opened close to me a while ago and my husband was disappointed I didn't wait till the evening to go with him. He said ah I was going to bring you on a date to go see it 😆
Yeah its gets better being at each other’s doctor visits to have lunch on the road date. Lol
Congrats and prayers
Becky casually waving Josh's hand about so she can still talk with her hands @19:50 is honestly so cute. I love how they both compliment each other so well!
I know! This Family definitely deserve this! My favorite family to watch on TH-cam
LOL totally cute talking with hand holding.❤️
Looking forward to 3 years down the road and Becky showing us her freshly planted plants and then toddler A helping mummy by digging them all up right behind her lol my child did the same to me.
Becky- it sounds like one of your future wish list items should be a whole house generator. We bit the bullet when we moved to our home and it is SUCH a good feeling knowing that we are covered when the power goes out- as it will. It is a sizable bite- probably around $8,000-$10,000. I’m just picturing all that good food in your freezers- you definitely don’t want to lose all that.
What kind did you get?
And i agree completely. Definitely get a generator becky!
We have a natural gas Briggs and Stratton 12kw generator. It starts automatically when the power goes out- you don’t do anything manually. I’m wondering if Becky has propane and not natural gas. I know she has a propane stove/oven. I wouldn’t know anything about how that would work- but hopefully it is adaptable.
@@susanbehler691 im sure its adaptable, gotta be right? That sounds so convenient and man is it helpful. I live in Florida and we don't lose power often but u never know when the next cat 5 hurricane is going to come through and keave ya without power for a week or two. I have an old generator, still works good but definitely need an upgrade and have been researching and saving. Big purchase for sure. I gotta say our power grid here is super tough, it takes a ridiculously strong storm for us to lose power. The electric company (Florida power and light) is phenomenal and is constantly reinvesting in the grid and maintenance makes me happy when i pay my bill knowing its going towards not only my current electricity but also keeping me worry free for storms (unless its a cat 5. We never lose power) 🙂❤️
All that frozen meat. Definitely need a generator.👍
I often wrap frozen breakfast sandwiches with a wet or just damp paper towel before microwaving to keep the English muffins or tortillas from drying out. It helps! ♥️
Yes! I do the same thing it really does work!
Yep! Done the same with a cotton tea towel
We do the same thing.
I do too! Works great
Yep! I do same and I actually do that with all foods I reheat
I had my son on December 20th. It's so fun to cuddle him and watch these videos. I honestly have no clue how you get so much stuff done! You're an inspiration to me to get things done. Thank you for being so great!
Aw congratulations I had my daughter on dec 20th 2010 ❤😊 and then 6 years later I had my son on dec 25 ( Xmas day of coarse 🥰)
congratulations and he has the same birthday as mine.. may he be blessed with good health.
I also have BD. There are those that will feel bad because it’s so close to Christmas. Not so! The world is filled with bright lights, people are generally merry and anticipation all around.
That’s my birthday. ❤️
We had our 12th grandson on Dec 20th Sebastian...
Becky, for your garden tools you could build a small storage shed that looks like an outhouse in your garden area so you won’t need to load your tools every time you go out to garden! It would be fun and practical!
I literally had this same thought. Very practical for her because the things she needs most often could be right where she would need them. Josh could build it easily.
Great ideal
And a shed that looks like an outhouse would be super cute and kitschy!
@@bethhelminiak5063 or one made out of salvaged doors and windows.
I would see if a farmer around there has an old outhouse! Or even an small old shed that could be dolled up for the garden
Becky, Laura from Garden Answer would be the perfect person to talk with! I'm sure you have heard of her, I find she has wonderful info on all things garden related. Good luck on your new garden!
I agree!! Laura gets great use of her vehicle!!! Her two kids are growing up so fast 🤗
Yes! I was thinking the exact same thing!!! She has a John Deere Gator I think it's called? Seems to do the job in her garden!
I watch Garden Answer also and I've learned so much from her
@@mommag3024 For sure!!! Laura is an excellent teacher with regards to everything garden: trees, shrubs, flowers, vegetables, etc. I love her generous spirit: donating to others, giving of her time and talents. I also appreciate how she invites us into her family life - allowing us to watch little Benjamin and Samantha Grace grow up. 🤗☺️.
@@BouncySlim1 👏👏
There were some days that all I got done was holding my newborn. I always felt guilty but now I look back at those days as the best days ever and truly miss them 💕
I put a damp paper towel over our frozen burritos so they don't dry out. Works great! I love your real life look. I don't like always seeing everyone prim and proper. Nobody looks like that when they work.
Hey Becky my landlord was looking for a utility vehicle to use for things for his garden too and he went to a dealership looking and a friend of his was working there and he told him that he should get a Golf Cart and that he could get some kind of wagon/ cart to pull behind it said it would be cheaper and would suit his needs. So thats what my landlord did and he said he love's it and works great for hauling his garden stuff around :) Just thought I'd mention it to y'all becky ❤
that's a great idea!!
I have an electric golf cart, it is silent and I haul all kinds of stuff. The back seat folds down and there is a diamond plate bed.
Yes, golf cart is quiet and mine has a bed on the back - what I use in the garden all the time
Yes I think a golf cart with a little trailer behind would great too! ♥️🫂☺️
@@SharaLee60 we just checked on the price of the John Deere electric gator and whoa!! I think we will check out the electric golf carts instead.
I’m so excited for you to start talking about and then eventually showing your garden again, I really miss your garden content. :)
Me too! Love Becky but miss her in that garden!
Becky, congratulations on the birth of your little one. Many blessings to you and your husband. As a mother, mother hen, I always been told I worry about things so I decided to give you a little advice,I know as a new parent there is so many things to be done and learn. When you are in the kitchen, put the baby on the bassinet do not hold him, while you are close to the stove. I saw when you were canning I almost had a heart attack, because many accidents can happen. I hope you don't mind me telling you about of my observation. I am a grandmother . I wish you the best enjoy your little one. You are an excellent mom. Blessings, Laura M. From Rockaway Park, New York
My best friend was canning and a large air bubble popped up and sloshed boiling water down her ample cleavage. She has some serious scars from it.
Thanks for saying it, I freak out every time I see her with the baby near the stove or canning stuff! 😬 I didn’t know how to say it nicely 😅
I agree, I felt the same way. I lost a cousin who caught on fire by her stove. I won’t go into details, but it’s not worth it by the stove. Please Becky, as much as you and we want to see it all, Baby A is much more important ❤️
I know Becky's really careful but I was wondering a little bit too. I once had a flannel shirt get too close to the stove and it actually started on fire while I was wearing it. And mine was an electric stove at the time and the fabric hit that coil. I kept thinking he's getting a little warm bun. It is so fun to see her with her precious little one
Lots of us are nervous watching the baby so close to stove, spices, very loud noises.
Warmed my heart when u said baby acre just wanted to be held by his mama and I will always oblige :) super sweet mama!
That was the best!!! 💖💙
We had a 25 year old Mule and just upgraded to a 2022. We drove and tried everything and the Mule was our favorite. We got the 6 seater, but the second row folds up to extend the bed. We have a designated booster seat for our grandson!🥰 Hope you guys love your pick! I know it will make your gardening easier!
We have a mule as well and love it! ❤
What Brad and do you have a pic of it?
Hi Becky, thank you for sharing all of your exciting ventures with us. Recently I’ve had a very difficult surgery and I’m stuck in bed these days so looking forward to your videos brightens my day. You are so sweet! Take care of yourself and hoping you are getting sleep!
Great seeing you go through this process. 3 Things
1. A damp paper towel wrapped around the breakfast tacos will help them not dry out.
2. If you were to buy the metal bed vehicle, you might look into Rhino lining the bed. It would keep the scratches at bay and rust as well.
3. I am in LOVE with your one hour roll recipe. I've made them several times and they are perfect every time. I'm also using the recipe to make cinnamon rolls. YUMMMM
So excited for you to get a utility vehicle to make your gardening easier!😊
We bought a used Polaris two seater with a dump bed, winch, electric plug-in, snow blade and hitch about 7 years ago. It's been invaluable on our mountain property. You may not think you'd need all those extras, but when we're at the far edge of our property, they've come in very handy.
In Australia we attach a small trailer to a ride on lawnmower to manoeuvre things around the acreage. It's very practical and not to expensive if buying used.
Qldr here what brand mower and trailer do you have im in the market for them
It is absolutely heart warming to see baby A wrapped up with you in the kitchen! You look like your doing a great job and that you’ve had him forever!!! I love seeing how much in love you and Josh are! God Bless
Baby A will be a real good cook some day. He has the best teacher, his mom
@@lovepugs05 you’re right 100%
I couldn’t help but smile as Becky did the mom moves while talking to us. It’s like as soon as we have a baby in our arms we HAVE to rock them. It becomes such an instinct to just rock. For years I noticed I was rocking even when my son was asleep and didn’t need it, or when my son wasn’t even in my arms anymore haha. I even caught myself starting to rock just watching Becky and my son is 14 so I haven’t done any rocking in a loooong time lol. I’m also so glad you have an amazing support team. I’m sorry your birth story had such ups and downs, but I’m glad y’all are healthy and happy now. It looks like you’re both adjusting to parenthood great though!
Rock on. That rocking movement kills a man's back. Women have hips that handle that. Celebrate life.
Sometimes I do that with the grocery cart 😅 my baby is 15 years old now 😂
After becoming a mom, once I got a puppy I caught my self rocking it while it was a sleep on my lap. It just sticks with you.
I find myself rocking when I'm not holding my kids🤣 my son really loved the rocking...he'll be 5 soon and still wants to be rocked lol. He's big and hard to hold though🤣 My daughter only recently started to(she's 1..around 10 months lol..)..
@Paul Mastre naw it kills my back but I do it
Love the “Momma sway”! It never goes away, even when holding the next generations! What wonderful adventures, are coming your way!
I have a large property and also wanted one of those to make life easier. Ended up getting a gas golf utility cart that has a dump bed. Best decision ever. Small enough to get around with a good size bed to move garden supplies as well as compost.
Agree, we have 30 acres and a 1 acre garden, I use my golf cart for most and what that doesn't work for I use our rider with a dump wagon.
We bought a used kawasaki mule 17 years ago. Most used tool. We use it for gardening , moving stuff around yard, garden etc. We love it. Driveable wheelbarrow
I believe you can also get snow plows for them, double the use.
Hot tip! If you want something frozen to warm through more evenly, set the microwave power down (maybe to 40%) and cook for a longer time. This will ensure it’s warm all the way through, without overcooking or drying.
Also great for reheating a rare steak!
This is what I was going to suggest as well!
I’m so happy for you guys. Living my gardening dreams.
So cool to see the different aspects there are to having a homestead. I really enjoy going along on all the journeys. Can't wait to see what you have planned for the garden
I love what a sweet, responsive mama you are!
Motherhood looks great on you.
Loved how y'all hold hands so sweet
You are so organized and have so much energy!
DEFINITELY need a Generac or Koehler whole house, propane driven generator. They kick on automatically when you lose power. Make sure your well pump is on it too, if you have a well, or you won’t have water. Ours sends us texts and emails when it exercises or takes over during power loses.
Two of my neighbors have the Generac and are happy with the investment you get $ back when you sell the house too
We have a generac and it has been the BEST investment!
Yes. I worry about all her frozen meals. I know it’s winter, but it’s still a lot of time and money invested in the freezers.
I was sad to lose half a container of soy milk when my fridge broke last summer. Glad the freezer was somehow still working.
We love our Generac whole house generator. We are in a gorge in western North Carolina and we get strong winds and it is common to lose power. Now I no longer worry about losing my freezer stash.
We have a Kohler whole house generator and love it!
Such a sight of delight seeing you both. What joy. May you both have a very happy life. & Josh💖💕
That is so sweet he’s so little.
You're just so adorable!! The world would be a much better place, if more of us were like you!! You emanate such positive energy. Just seeing you puts a smile on my face. Thank you for sharing your life experiences. Love that Josh and you are having a date. 😊
What a joy to see you and Josh out together, even if it’s looking for a utility vehicle! Loved seeing baby A getting a little love from mommy ❤
Perfect timing, I’ve been sewing all day, just sat down with a coffee!! 🖤🌸
You are so special! Congratulations on being able to get things that will help you in your garden and around your property.
You will LOVE your side by side!! I have a very old utility golf cart with a dump body. Im grateful to have that as it makes my gardening SO much easier. Hopefully a newer one in my future...😊
Hi Josh & Becky, what a fun day. I am sure y’all will find just the right garden vehicle. So happy Becky that you are feeling well enough to be out on a day date & do some shopping. Thank you for taking us with y’all. Until next time take care❤.
I can't wait to see the garden plan!! We just sat down and decided what we will be growing this year... fun times! Trying those peach peppers you grew last year..
Cherish those cuddle
Moments! They are very precious times!
So glad you are preparing for your new garden. I know that, and your kitchen, is your happy place.
We LOVE our John Deere Gator. You really should check them out before you make a decision. They have power lift for the box which would help you lots and of course all the other great options. Good luck!!
We got a Gator a year ago and wondered how we ever got along without it. You’ll love it!
I'm so excited for your garden this year.
Its so fun and heartwarming to see u cuddling your baby! 👶 I'm so happy for u both, babies r a blessing!
I love these videos your family is blessed
Becky, I just have to say. Thank you for blurring the salesman’s face. I feel like so often people don’t offer to blur them because they don’t “have to” but I appreciate you being courteous to his privacy!
Thanks for taking us along. That was fun. ❤️❤️❤️
Excited to see the new garden spot and how you are going to plan it out .
I had a Polaris which I used for hauling chicken feed, hay and straw as well as potting soil. It was a short bed with a tilt so it was also used to clean out the chicken coop then haul the mess off and dumped. I had a windshield and roof….must haves. 😊
I'm so excited for your new garden!! Can't wait to see every little step! 🎉
I have been in love with Becky's channel since she began in 2020. It is such a joy to see her as a new Mom! Can't wait to watch as their little family progresses and they build a new garden!
That’s GREAT Becky. It’ll be such a help for you especially that final harvest/clean up.
And you have so much more land at your new place. I have my seeds all ordered and still lots here. I’m already growing lemon balm, and I’ve 2 Roma tomatoes - one is 10” now and flowering 🤗 canNOT wait
We have a smaller greenhouse by the veggie garden and that’s where my gardening tools stay all summer as well as wheel barrow, whipper snipper and mower
Enjoy the rest of your date you two ♥️😊
The infant carrier can be used independently from the base that you have in your car. The base is more of a convenience of just being able to click in and out.
My job is head gardener on a private estate and using something like what your thinking of are very useful indeed. They sure save a lot of back braking work. 😊
Cornelius Roadhouse! We’ve been there so often, I used to work down the street. Now we live in Washington, on 20 acres, doing our own homestead thing. Love to you, Josh, and baby acre.
Aww, sweet baby cuddles! I remember when my godson was that size. Cuddling the baby is one of the best things in life!
We had the same UTV experience. We wound up buying dump bed utv style golf cart. It’s PERFECT! So easy to drive and goes up and down our hills. Pulls a trailer too!
Becky, you are so sweet and delightful. Love your terminology for baby...wiggles...babies do need their wiggles and do need their mommy. Thanks for sharing your special date with Josh. Best wishes on this year's garden.
This was really fun. Thanks for taking us along.
Absolutely love you Becky. Enjoy your channel so much.
Have you considered putting a shed somewhere near the garden to store tools close by?
I have a John Deere Gator and I just love it!!! It has a roof and windshield. It’s such an important tool on our farm!
This was so interesting! I’ve always wanted a side-by -side. I didn’t realize so many of them were more toys than utilitarian. This is so cool!
We have a Polaris Ranger and we LOVE it!. It is a little work horse. The bed size has never been an issue for us and we haul feed and load used straw from goat barns in it every week. The bed dumps very easily. We can't believe how much we use our Ranger.
So excited for this!!! When you first showed us the house and the yard I was like 😱 thats a lot of walking and incline to carry stuff. Can't wait to see the plans for the garden! Don't forget to leave space to drive your new non-toy through!
You are doing such a great job!!
My niece has a Mule just like the one you were looking at (the bigger red one) to help haul feed etc for her cows. She loves it and it makes her work so much easier. It is really a good investment!
Can't wait to see your garden area.
I definitely recommend the ones with a hydraulic lift!! I worked on a solar farm with one of these and had to constantly lift the back of it. It was so much easier on the ones with the lift.
Can't wait to see what you decide. I love the hydraulic type of lift. Will be so helpful especially when it's weighted down. You can always put a Rubbermaid type of large compact storage shed out in the garden for your basic tools.
Awesome talk about the differences of the UTV’s. I would love one to get around our property too. Hoping it makes your gardening easier.
We have a Polaris 1000, 4 door side by side and LOVE IT!!!!!! I use it for garden and yard work all the time and my husband uses it during deer hunting season. We love just riding the dirt roads in the evening too.
Hi Becky pls make sure all 4 sides of the basinet are up out habit. I know he is a newborn but doing wiggles babies move.
I am so anxious to see how you have placed and designed your garden. I am just frozen in place for what we want/need for a garden
Take that first step and you can always change things around as you get more experience.
You’re doing a great job with motherhood and your videos. Love watching you!
You will love your side by side,we are over 60 years old and it helps us on the garden and hauling brush and whatever needs to be done.
Enjoy all the snuggles, it goes so fast. Your video is right on time today because I’m motivating to do some deep cleaning.
I have a toy side by side with the aftermarket windshield. I would recommend getting one with a windshield and wipers. We don’t have wipers and it makes driving in the rain impossible. We tend to just drive it with the windshield folded down.
You are such a good momma! I love your love for your family! ❤️
You deserve someone else making your coffee that day. You make motherhood look easy! Enjoy your videos.
It’s always great to see Josh pop up in your videos from time to time! You both look so happy!
When we do breakfast burritos we will bite the end off then use a butter knife to make a hole down the middle for hot sauce.
I'm so happy for you guys and excited to see the garden this year. Just an FYI remember mirror surfaces will reflect Baby Acres's reflection too. When you are standing by the fridge, your water dispenser is so clean you can see the baby's reflection.
I love your channel but really loved today because I am in Australia and I loved how much you told and showed us of your area. It was very interesting. I also loved seeing you both holding hands it was so sweet ❤
Becky check out Amazon's corrugated raised garden beds I just bought 2 6×3×2 ft tall. I'm 75 and love them. Just ordered 2 more. Less bending from my other beds. That side by side will be great don't forget to get a trailer to haul all your plants gravel or just dirt. Best of luck on the garden I love to grow my own food and freeze it. .
I highly recommend you check out a John Deere Gator. These are phenomenal for garden use, and built for it.
Bingo 💯 yesss... that's what Aaron and Laura use from Garden Answer. 😊
We have a Gator also. It works amazing for the gardens. Ours has the dump bed and it is great for compost and gravel.
John Deere also has an electric gator that's so quiet to use. Also look for a hydraulic lift for the drop box. When the box if full of mulch ect..it gets heavy to lift up. We are in the process of purchasing a UTV so for me 1. a cab with windshield, 2. battery operated so it's quiet. 3. able to attach a snow plow (or blower) for winter clearing the snow out of the driveway. 4.hydraulic lift box. Yes, it will be an expensive purchase but in the end it will have many uses and will be well worth it. Good luck!
Another voice to add to the Gator chime board! Gators are amazing and the electric ones are very powerful.
Yes!! Look at the gator!!
If you get a side by side with a tow hitch on it, they make a really awesome tool caddie that hooks up to the hitch of a side by side. It has vertical storage for shovels and additional areas for buckets and tools.
Excited for the garden for 2023
You are such an inspiration to me. Love love love the beautiful amazing people you are!!!
Me and my husband got married 1 year after our first date, on the anniversary of our first date. I didn’t know then but it was also his parents wedding anniversary too. It’s nice to share that date with them. We’ve been together for 15 years now.
I live blocks from the first place you looked at side by sides at. It's right across from the fair grounds. I am so happy that Josh views your garden as a major investment into your future. Well done Josh!!
Side by sides are great for around the farm. My husband built the best small trailer from an old boat trailer and put on a hutch for an add on to pull things around
I live in Wales UK and we know when it is summer because the rain is warmer. 😂😂😂😂 I loved the vehicles even the ‘toys’. 😊😊😊😊
So excited for gardening content to begin again!! You’ve inspired me to start gardening at my new house, and it is such a peaceful hobby :)
Beckie, I noticed when you were holding the baby standing in front of refrigerator,just above the ice dispenser is very shiny and you can see the baby and I know you are trying to keep him off camera. Wanted to let you know. Love y’all. ❤ Carol
Thanks for the tag along…I so enjoyed it
