As an empty-nester of 4, these videos make me feel so good that their are women who believe home and children are the most important. Women of today need this kind of encouragement in a world that doesn't lift up this way of life. Thank you.
I love that, if they are being an irritation give them an invitation. They really just want to be involved 😩🧡
I loved that, too. 😊
That's it. That blessed me
I have three littles (5, 2, and 8mo) and I have been praying for guidance on how to keep a home with little children. Prayer answered! Thank you for taking the time to make these videos, your faithfulness in sharing God's word, and for opening up your home to women looking for encouragement. Blessings ❤
Much needed message right now! I'm currently going through learning the struggle of learning discipline in homemaking as a new wife... this was so encouraging, as well as your other videos. Thank you❤️
Congratulations! It is always hard when you're first married. Thank you for the kind words. Discipline is hard for all of us.
I am so happy I found your channel and website ✨️✨️✨️🙏✨️✨️✨️
Beautiful and so appreciated. Abba bless you and your family
Love that you’re Catholic. Sometimes it feels like we are a minority and so misunderstood by other faiths ❤ So glad I found your channel ❤❤❤
Yes! Very much so. Lots of misconceptions. 😔
I have actually had to battle quite a bit of discrimination (in the homeschooling 'world') where I live - being Catholic. there are not that many Catholic homeschoolers where I live & any time we try to pair up with other moms, it seems like their husbands are always pastors of a Protestant denomination. Some of their CHILDREN can be very unkind towards our faith & we always have to do alot of 'explaining' or arguing about why we believe what we believe. Having children tell your kids that they went to a Mass & thought it was "stupid that the priest wears a dress" or that we don't "know the Word of God" puts you in sticky situations if you want to continue with whatever group activity you are part of. Lots of unkindness.
I just came across your channel and am so inspired. I definitely struggle with self discipline in regards to homemaking and would love to tighten things up before we start our family. 💜
It is hard to start, but it gets easier as you get a routine down. You can do it! I feel more motivated now having kids than I did before, but it's always good to get into a rhythm beforehand. You got this!
You are so inspirational!!!
I feel like when I became a mom that's when I really started becoming much more self-disciplined in homemaking. I suddenly found a love for cleaning since before I was terrible at not cleaning things (but I did live completely alone for a long time before that and did not have anyone to keep things up with except me). I think the temptation of ordering in food or just having Ramen for dinner is one of mine. Cooking is that one thing that I know I am going to have to work on for years in order to really love it. But it is something that excites me! Creating things is a huge part of my soul and knowing that I can create beautiful and nourishing meals does sound fun. It'll be a process for sure since I work full time and my energy levels are much lower in the evenings.
And thank you for showing how to clean the cast iron skillet! I've felt like I've been doing it wrong because I have used soap before. I've usually left ours for my husband to do since he has got it down! But that's another thing I need to stop being scared about haha!😂
I also absolutely love the dress you are wearing in this video, it is so beautiful!
I am with you on the cooking. It hasn't been since this past year that I have really committed to from scratch cooking where I don't buy any box food and rarely any canned. I have never had a love for cooking. It is definitely an area I also struggle with, but like you, I enjoy the creativity. You do awesome things! You are a great homemaker and mom. Lodge says you can use soap, but when I have, I thought the food tasted like it. Don't be afraid of it. It's super easy and forgiving!
Thanks! This is the dress m.shein.com/us/SHEIN-VCAY-Allover-Floral-Knot-Split-Thigh-A-line-Dress-p-8026567-cat-1727.html?mallCode=1&imgRatio=3-4&src_module=search&src_identifier=st%3D2%60sc%3DWhite%20and%20blue%20dress%60sr%3D0%60ps%3D0&src_tab_page_id=page_pre_search1695574281846&showFeedbackRec=1
I just found your channel and I have been so inspired by you! Thank you so much I love your channel ❤
Thank you for the goal action plan! Lord knows that I need help with selfdiscipline..
With homemaking I do have discipline, i lack discipline with other things like food, watching tv and my phone for way too long. Or learning new skills, when it fails the first time, i quit all together 😂
Thank you for the tips!😊
We all lack discipline in one area or another. It is definitely easy to get sucked into technology! I am working on learning new skills now too....I definitely need to be more self disciplined to keep going, especially when it gets hard! You got this!
I like helping my mom with look at that chicken it looks really nice dinner i will promise being homemaker its a blessing for your family
You do need to teach your baby to entertain himself on the floor while you work. Great video. Love your dress and apron.
This feels like a non stop job personally that I couldn’t do by myself
Greetings and success from Indonesia 🇲🇨🇲🇨
So wholesome 🤍🕊️
Please look into the toxicity of seed oils, including canola oil. 💕
I love your video! So uplifting 🤍
❤
Love watching another Catholic mama with little ones! I have a 1 year old, a 2 year old, and another on the way. I would love your perspective on maintaining your household, patience, and sanity while pregnant and juggling little ones. I often am torn between staying on top of tasks vs giving myself rest vs giving time to my children
You are in the thick of it as well! Being pregnant is so hard, sick in the beginning and big at the end lol, it's hard to get it all done. Before I had my baby in February, I really just needed someone to remind me that it's okay if everything isn't done. We are each in different seasons, and it's important to give yourself grace. I am also working on patience. It definitely takes continuous practice. Give your body the rest it needs, so when you do go to complete tasks you have "more" energy and aren't completely drained running yourself into the ground. Keep it up! You are doing awesome!
I think it very important to know, The Child Jesus did house chores. It certainly Is growing a A discipline soul and mind in a child for God and for life skills. This gives you a break eventually, & especially when your not feeling well.
The way my mom recovered from pregnancies is that she would take a nap when the baby would nap. Since you have three "littles", I would suggest making sure you give yourself rest. I know of a single mom who was desperate to find time for herself, so she started getting up an hour earlier than her children. It took getting used to, as that meant getting up at 4 am, but, for her, that was necessary for her sanity. You have to find what works best for you. Remember that you cannot be at your best for your children if you wear yourself out.
Book of Tobit! Yes!!! one of my favorites. So glad to hear you quote it, seems like no one ever speaks on this book & many worthy gems in there!!!❤
I am so excited to have found your channel! I am a new Catholic and am so enjoying learning from you ❤
Thanks for your wonderful insights and helpful tips, I will definitely check out these templates!
I especially find it hard to keep my routines and discipline while my energy fluctuates so so much during the different stages of my cycle. In the beginning of the cycle I feel like I could rearrange and clean all the house non stop, and in the end I don’t find energy to do the simplest tasks… I will definitely use your advice and try to find the perfect verses in scripture for helping me stay disciplined! ✨
Wonderful advice❤
Loved this! Subscribed! ❤
Where is your dress from? I love it!
I just love ur channel
Love your channel ❤
Thank you 😊 💓
Just came across your Channel. This was an encouraging video. I’m not a homemaker, but i hope i can soon!
Your videos are really good, by the way
Your awesome Happy New Year
. I believe the lord showed me this channel never seen it before til last night. And I really like it Thank Lord
Just a heads up the H.E. Marshall books were written from a Protestant prospective. I think that's been the biggest eye opener for my husband and I, that we were taught "History" void of any credit given to Catholics (at best). We use Seton also ❤ and have been gobbling up the History given in light of the One, True and Holy Apostolic Church ❤ one of the best little nuggets is that George Washington had a devotion to Our Lady, her picture still hangs at his house Mount Vernon (now a museum) and had a monk come over from an island off the coast while on his death bed to be converted. Soldiers back then had to take to take oath not to be Catholic. The first slaves brought to America were Irish Catholics that were brought over by the pilgrims! It's just amazing how so many nuggets were left out. I always tease my husband, who's ancestors were on the Mayflower, that his ancestors brought mine over as slaves. I'm a whole Lotta Irish! I'll share one last one- all these cities and towns that are named after the Saints because it was tradition to name the city after the feast day they founded the city! And That's just beautiful ❤
Thanks for the heads up! I use anything against the Catholic faith as a teaching moment for my kids. We talk about why certains things are taught and believed, but why we don't view it the same. What beautiful insight you shared. I plan on going to Mt. Vernon in June, and will keep an eye out! That is so interesting! I love that many of the towns in Wisconsin are named after saints, and every 5 minutes is a beautiful old Catholic Church! 🥰
I’d be interested in how you season your cast iron. We are plant based so ours is used to sauté veggies most of the time and I am still not pleased with the way items stick. I find myself using my enamel covered cast iron because my other one frustrates me so!
Another great video and love the wisdom from Sirach❤🙏🏻
I saute everything in cast iron! We just did a huge veggie skillet. Once the cast iron is seasoned, it is super easy to use, clean, and maintain! It's the worst when things stick! I love Sirach and Wisdom too! ❤️ So many great verses!
Okay sorry, I totally read your message wrong. I agree, when it's seasoned there is less of an issue with sticking.
Quick seasoned (like the video) I wash it, place it on medium heat for 1 minute until the waters evaporated, added a little bit of canola oil, and let it heat up for about 3 minutes.
Deep season I wash, rub canola all over (top, bottom, edges) and place it in the oven at 475 to 500 degrees for 1 hour. You can also take it out add more oil and go for an additional hour. I do quick seasonings with every use (unless I use it for breakfast / lunch in a reasonable time frame). I recommend doing a deep seasoning on chilly days when windows can be opened.
@@faithfulacresfarmhouse I’m definitely going to try the deep seasoning this weekend! Thanks for your reply😊
Hello, I came across your channel today and became a new subscriber! Such a lovely video! Looking forward to watching more. What state do you live in? I am in PA😊 --denise
Thank you! I appreciate your words! We just moved to Wisconsin. Every time I see a video set in PA, I also think they're in Wisconsin!
I made those apples this afternoon! It didn't last 5 minutes 😄
😄 That's good though! My kids devoured ours too.
God bless you. What do use to keep your dog not running away while you are outside with family? Thank you in advance.
We used to have a shock / noise collar and "burried" aka laid wire around our property at our old house. That worked really well, and we did flag training where the wire was. We haven't done that here, and our dog does wonder from time to time, but she's honestly a good dog and doesn't run off. We also keep her inside when we leave just in case. We bought the collar and wire from Amazon.
It probably has the same effect but I use a little shot of olive oil on the cotton rag for my cast iron pans . .I must say you are very handy ,baking eggs and all other things and holding the baby at the same time ..did not work for me because of bad back . And a daughter who would always grab things 😅..
Apple and cinnamon ...mmm🤭 ,I also make apple sauce(hope this is correct translation!) ,easy to freeze and I like to use it with chicken ,on cakes ,..different countries and different tastes !
Greats, thanks and blessings from Belgium ❤
I have tried to make applesauce but it turns out too lumpy or smooth....It shouldn't be so hard lol! I also love using it with other foods. I would love to go to Belgium and learn many things! I have done oil on rags, but I find little fibers left behind, do you experience this? Maybe I'm not using the right rags.
@westmanacademy I use rags I make from bed sheets (hope this is correct word 🙂)
To make your apple sauce not so liquid , I use a little lump of butter so the apples do not stick to the pan. At a very low fire ,and cut in larger pieces. And this way I find the apple sauce not so liquid. But indeed ,it gets watery, which also depends on the type of apples used .
Blessings and joyful holidays 🙏🎄✨️🎊
Today I learned that there are more books in the Catholic Bible. Interesting.
7 from the Old Testament. Many Protestants consider them "the Apocraypha". When Luther split from the Catholic Church, he chose the Jewish form of the Old Testament. The Jews don't accept the books because they aren't written by prophets and were written in Greek not Hebrew. The books would've been part of the Septuagint, which is the Bible Jesus and the Apostles would've used, which is why the Church considers them "Spirit Inspired." 🥰
Where can I find that dress? It's so pretty!
I bought it at Shein, but I no longer support their company. Here's the link if you're interested

Nothing Fits But makes a similar dress and it's 100% cotton :)
I will look into it! Thanks!@@84AnnieK
Hi! I have the same image of the Madonna doing laundry! Are you Catholic as well? I’ve been loving your channel as I make similar content 😊
Do you? It was my grandma's she gave me. ❤️ I am! I love your channel, well both of them, but am very encouraged and inspired by your "This Mama's Faith" one! 😊
It is also nice to see another Catholic homeschool homemaking mama ❤️
Yay! That’s so awesome! I would love to chat more! Do you have Instagram?
@ThisMamasFaith Yes! I'm not on it a ton, it's just @westmanacademy or you could just type Kelsey Westman and find me 😊
@@faithfulacresfarmhouse I’m not on it much either! So happy to have made a new friend with so much in common ✨💞
Please tell me what zerack is. 26:14. I've never heard of it. Thank you
Sirach is one of the seven books removed or "separated" from the original Canon (books of the Old Testament) by Luther in the 1500s.
Many Protestants recognize it as informational or historical, but not inspired by the Spirit. As a Catholic, it is included in our Bible, also known as Ecclesiasticus, Ben Sira, or Words of Wisdom. It is very similar to Proverbs. Luther also wanted to remove James, Hebrews, Jude, and Revelation from the Bible, so I believe this book (Sirach) (as well as the 6 others - just as we believe James, Jude, Hebrews, and Revelation are) all Spirit inspired and part of the Bible.
The link provides more information. Hopefully I didn't confuse you.

@westmanacademy thank you for the explanation. Much appreciated!!
May I ask, where you got your dress 👗?
From Shein and the apron from Walmart!
It will not let me download 😢 I’ve tried like 20 times!

Out of curiosity what version of the bible do you use
I use the New American Bible and Revised Standard Version Second Catholic Edition
So settle down cobwebs, dust- go to sleep. I’m rocking my baby…. Babies don’t keep.
Ordered Toups & Co face balm, but you’re code didn’t work 😩
Oh man. Did you at least get the 10% off from their site?
CAN I SAY ONE WORD " EXHAUSTING. IT'S HARD TRYING TO COOK BREAKFAST AND CLEAN HOUSE WITH A BABY ON YOUR ARM.
That it is. It's hard to get anything done with a baby, toddler, or really kids in general. But there are also many rewards ❤😊
What is the Serach 26:24 , 7 minutes into your video?
I've never heard of that book of the Bible?
Is that the Hebrew word for
The Book of Sirach or Ecclesiasticus is a Jewish work, originally written in Hebrew. It consists of ethical teachings, from approximately 200 to 175 BCE, written by the Judahite scribe Ben Sira of Jerusalem, on the inspiration of his father Joshua son of Sirach. The book of Sirach is part of the Septuagint, the version of the Hebrew Bible from which the early Christians emerged. The Christian Bible contained these deuterocanonical books until Martin Luther, assuming the Masoretic text to be the original, removed them to match the new Jewish canon. Many Protestants consider it part of the Apocraypha (the 7 books Luther separated). Hopefully that wasn't confusing. Catholics believe it is Scripture inspired by the Spirit!
Hi. Where did you get your striped dress?
The dress is from Shein, but it's not the best quality. The striped part is actually an apron from Walmart!
We should actually boast in our weaknesses so the power of Christ can rest on us. Focusing on our weaknesses helps us rely on God’s strength. I’m guessing you are Catholic? Sirach isn’t in the holy Bible so that is why I asked.
I definitely think we should acknowledge our weaknesses and rely on Christ to help us! ❤️ I wouldn't want us to boast if our weakness is causing us to sin. But yes, we for sure need to rely on Christ to strengthen us! I am Catholic, yes, and I do believe that Sirach has always been part of the Holy Bible. ❤️
May I ask what your faith believes about salvation? What do you believe or teach your children on how to be saved?
Jesus!
Tie back hair, If you’re going to act like a teacher…start first to pull back hair from dangling over food prep…led by good examine.
This is dangerous , there has been cases where the child has been burnet, this is irresponsible behaviour, is questionable as to why she can not put the baby somewhere.
This is the second video of yours that I had started watching. Then you called out a scripture passage and I realized that you are being mislead by the teaching of the Mormon cult .
This book is not the holy scriptures ,pray for the truth to be shown to you weather you believe me or not. The
Real Lord Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Israel.
Your Jesus is not Jesus.
I'm not trying to be mean to you but rather I'm just trying to get you to search out the truth of what you have been taught .
I'm Catholic, but thanks for the concern.
I am so happy I found your channel and website ✨️✨️✨️🙏✨️✨️✨️
