Summer has me feeling tired!
Our little farm has done nothing but grow lately! I can barely keep up! Let’s not even discuss the inside of my house 😳 Here’s a little peak of where I’ve been. #thewindyacre #gardening #homestead #minifarm

When you have a large family sometimes you have large gaps between the oldest to the youngest! And when you have large gaps you may have crazy weekends full of celebrations that other families may not have. And when you have weekends full of celebrations you may have a mess… And here I am in the aftermath of a 5th birthday party for my little and a baby shower for my big! #largefamily

We actually successfully hatched 3 of our chickens eggs with an incubator that costs under $50 on Amazon! This was such a fun experience. Link to Incubator amzn.to/4aNgxzl #largefamily #fostermother #adoptivefamily #homestead #chickeneggs #chicken #chicks #chickshatching #brooder #momof9 #farmlife

I notice you have a bunk bed do you like it
Yes. We have 4 kids in that bedroom so bunk beds are a must!
@@thewindyacre7251 Oh very nice can you make a video of the mattress protectors or covers? I hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day.
@@thewindyacre7251 My name is Ashley.
I did have a great Mother’s Day thank you! I hope you did as well! Yes I just bought new ones from target within the month. I will find the link for you
Here ya go. I haven’t noticed the weird loud noises and the kids haven’t complained about being too hot, so far so good! www.target.com/p/twin-twin-xl-waterproof-zippered-mattress-protector-room-essentials-8482/-/A-85071324
How do you get kids out of bed if they don't wanna get app mine or 5 and 6? I am a foster mom also what do you recommend for a crib mattress? I am having my first baby June 14th. My name is Ashley.
Hello Ashley! I’m sorry I think I read this at the wrong time and forgot to respond because of that! I literally have always just used mattresses that were donated to us with all the foster kids that have gone through our home. I’ve only had maybe 5-6 kiddos under 2 years old. I haven’t really came across a problem getting kids up that young! I always get the morning people and my kids and myself are not morning people! 😂I know with my own I tend to just dress them myself while they are still in bed trying to wake up. I did see on a Facebook reel this week that mom‘s dress their kids before they go to bed when they have to get up in the morning if they know that they won’t get up easily and then that way they’re already dressed and they don’t have to deal with that part. I know I’ve started a lot of times having my older kids eat at school because of the different times I have to drop off, that’s helpful for the morning rush. I’ve always been kind of weird about sleeping in clothes though, even on the kids pajama days they have to get up and put clean pajamas on before they go to school lol
Thank you for your motivation)
Absolutely! Exposing my embarrassing messes keeps me motivated to get back at it! 😂
Thank you for watching!
Hi, fellow Foster mama and new subbie.
Hello! And Thank you a ton! How long have you been a foster parent?
@@thewindyacre7251 going on 3.5 years now.
We have been since 2017. We have our 25 and 26 kids right now.
@@thewindyacre7251 wow that’s amazing, we have our 3rd right now first 2 sibling set were reunified after a year. Hoping to help many more throughout the years. Lord willing.
Thank you for your motivation) I don't have time for anything with one child
I understand! Sometimes it’s easier to have more than 1 so they can keep each other busy, or worse if they fight all the time like mine do sometimes! 😂
Adorable!😁🩷
Right!!!!
So cute
❤❤❤❤They are so sweet and adorable!!!
We are so excited!
É muito bicho de pelúcia.
Sim!
Que casa suja!
Sim, pode ficar muito sujo! 😂
This is indeed very heartwarming and very heartwarming and very positive and this brings back such great memories of when I use to be a 90s kid and an early 2000s kid as well:).
Right there with you! I am one of those "Here just let me do it" people also!
I’m glad I’m not alone! I’m the same way with cooking and baking. In theory we are going to make magical memories in the kitchen, in reality…. Well it can be memorable 😂
Get the kids to play catch their stuff and put away or throw it at their feet to pick up I but with 3 would get them to jump to nursery ryhmes or their favorite song and their washing machine was 1 5gallon bucket and another 5gal bucket to rinse in. Mind you that was a long, long time ago Your doing well Hi5 Heather.
Thanks! The littles did help with picking up dirty clothes and stripping beds but I don’t think I had that part in the video. 😊

Good work
Thank you!
Thank you!! I have always worked outside the home until last month. This homemaking gig is exhausting!
You take great care of those kids and you're home! So much work you do! Love your video ❤
I sure do try! I’m still trying to find the balance between getting things done and enjoying my kids. This is my first time not working out of the home and it’s exhausting being a stay at home mom!
I will! Thanks for the feedback ❤
Slowdown
Definitely get a female. Males grow big tusks and get very aggressive.
Do kunekune get tusks? I didn’t realize that!
@@thewindyacre7251 yeah all pigs grow tusks, even females, but a neutered male will having slower growing tusks. An intact female will also have slower growing tusks.
@@b.e.a.n.s_ thanks!

I’m all about the pork steaks! 😂
How exciting.. We live in southeast Texas so we have all of our brassicas in the garden and we are going to transplant tomatoes tomorrow to the garden. 🌱 I just started some herbs in trays. What zone are you in?
6B! I patiently wait for this time all winter because I never manage to get a winter crop done! I buy all the seeds I just never find the time. I absolutely love to garden, and I “study” it but I am still not good at it!
@@thewindyacre7251 You will learn as you go.. I learn something about gardening everyday! 🌱
