I miss the snow. It's hot here!
I'm sorry! 😭😘
Ahh snow, we rarely get it here in Hampshire UK. Lovely vlog, thank you 🥰
Hi! We don't get much here actually. The kids love it so much, I wish we got more. I love how bright and quiet it makes everything. 🥰
@@WifetoJohn that explains why they were excited to see it, yes it goes so quite you can hear it falling ☺🌨
What a gorgeous, snowy day. Do you have many snowy days there? Hubby grew up in snowy places but I didn't. I want to live where it snows one day ❤❤
Hello! We don't get much snow here. I wish we got more. 🥰 I love it too!
This was so lovely seeing you having a happy day indoors. I love the fact that you were cooking & looking out into the lounge with the children playing .I also make hot food for my chickens, I'm glad I'm not the only one 😊
Thank you Suzanne, it was a lovely day inside. I guess we both love our chickens and spoil the sometimes. 🥰 Hope you are well!
The milk glass hurricane lamp on your table is my weakness. I had one as a kid that was broken by wind and a child. Since then I have bought way too many at thift stores but I love them and I am always looking for more.
Hello! I love them too!! 😊
Such a lovely day! I love that you made some warm food for the chickens!
Hi Emily! Hope you guys are staying warm and cozy in this weather. 🥰 Have to spoil the chickens sometimes. 😊
@@WifetoJohn It has been good. Better than expected so far for this storm. We also got some treats for the chickens before the store hit. I need to make them a warm treat!
We love catan too! Great clothes haul! I love sleeveless too. I totally understand feeling overwhelmed in some clothes too. I love that you have a Moses. <3
I'm glad I'm not the only one! 😊 Does your family get a little intense with Catan?? 😅 It's just a game folks..
@@WifetoJohn Oh yes! There is a long time 'war' with 3 of them. Others don't care that much but enjoy the ride. lol
I love seeing these videos of your family. Rdr. Matthew
Hello Matthew! Thank you. I hope you guys are staying warm. 🥰
Would love for you to incorporate my videos into your home schooling routine!
Hi, I also wear whats comfortable & what I enjoy, fashion does not come into my choice & most of my clothes are thrifted. Thank you for sharing 🥰
Hello Suzanne! It's so nice to be comfortable isn't it?🥰
@WifetoJohn yes definitely 😊
I love your outfits. 🥰 They look beautiful and comfortable too . The last several months I've been trying to look more put together, even at home . I am not naturally good at knowing what suits me and that used to bother me but I now wear what's beautiful to me , fits me well, is modest and I don't spend much on it. I adore free swap days ❤ I love layering too. ❤ I'll go check out her channel , thank you for sharing some modest and Beautiful outfits ❤❤
Thank you! ❤️ I'm not sure I know what suits me too but I'm trying not to worry about it. I don't like things tight around my waist, it's a sensory issue. So some things I wear are kind of loose and probably aren't flattering but I have to be comfortable. I really like how you wear your head band/scrafs. I try to wear them but sometimes I have a hard time keeping them on. I'm sure you look lovely in your clothes!! ❤️🥰
I love that cotton striped shirt you found! So cute!❤ Time & true seems to hold up well so it’s one Walmart brand I will buy at the thrift or in Walmart! I love your children’s names so much!
Thanks Joelle!! ❤️
Whaaaatttt! Totally didn’t expect the mention! Thank you Brooke!!🥹🤗 We mutually inspired each other and you were totally why I decided to share my outfit in my video yesterday!!🥰 I love your outfits you put together so much!!
You're welcome!! Not that I have many subscribers but I wanted to mention your channel, it's so lovely. I love your outfits too, your style is spot on in my book. 😊👍
I love the patchwork curtains throughout your home! Wisdom and I have been planning on making some like that but only got as far as dyeing some of the fabric we wanted to use… I think I am seeing an embarrassing trend here..😂 lotssssss of unfinished projects..
Hello! Patchwork curtains would look so nice against your wood walls. I totally know about unfinished projects... 🤔🥰
2:29 that quilt!! Soo beautiful! I’d love top make one in that pattern some day but first i need to actually put together my first two quilts…😂I have a bunch of nine patch blocks but I need to purchase sashing, batting, and backing to finish it… I also have a Dresden plate quilt but again, I have only sewn the plates..😅 someday… also, where did you find the dresses you were wearing? They look so comfy & cozy!
Sorry Joelle, I missed this comment! I bet whatever quilt you make will be amazing, just like you knits. 🥰 I thrifted that quilt in the vlog, well, it was from a antique/flea market. That green dress is Lands End, thrifted. It was on sale and I paid a $1...😘
@ no problem!🥰 Thank you Brooke! What great finds!! I love looking for Lands end at the thrift store!
Your room looks so cozy! I love the little sewing area with the granny square cushion!🥰
Aw, thank you!
Hello from the bottom of the world. It’s amazing to see how different our seasons are ❤ Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful family
Hello friend! It is amazing and this day was an unusually warm day. We've been having several actually, it's so nice because in January and February it can get pretty cold. I hope you guys have a very Merry Christmas!
The title says it , beautiful home life , what a blessing raising families can be. Thank you for sharing the beauty ❤❤
Hello friend! You're so sweet and so right, it is a blessing. ❤️ Hope you and yours are well and have a very merry Christmas!
We love some of these too! We will look for Ribsy and The Swamp fox. Thank you!
You're welcome, I hope you enjoy them.🥰 I want to find, is it the Sugar Creek Gang? I saw Joelle reading them in a vlog.
Love this! Such a fun idea. Outdoor areas are so good for all of us. Love the Battle shack! And nothing tops it off like a good hot chocolate! Looks like a great day!
Thank you! 🥰 I like your outdoor kitchen, one day I would like one. It's gets so hot inside during the summer.
@@WifetoJohn currently it is our only kitchen. But I love it too. I almost don't want to move it indoors.
Nature and water. So good for this. <3
One of my favorite quotes!!!
I'd love one of these spaces for myself!
Aw, thanks Jane! It is cozy. 🥰
What a lovely cosy space! my son loved Lego as a young child & still does today age 22! 😊💖
Thank you! That's neat that your son still enjoys Legos, they can be so relaxing and a great way to be creative.
What a great use of space and you've done a beautiful job of making it comfy too. ❤❤ Thank you for sharing lovelies
Thank you ❤️
That's really neat!
Thanks!
The thrift stores in my area aren’t generous at all
I'm sorry. ❤️
Love this, I enjoy simple meals & they are often the most healthy. I also use the whole chicken, I was brought up with the saying 'waste not,want not'. I love what you said at the end about your home making is important, its definitely been an enjoyment in my life over the years 😊
Hello Suzanne! 🥰 It's a good feeling knowing I've used our resources well, I like the challenge and creativity frugality inspires.
Lovely finds & great prices! I have used charity shops here in the UK for years, I love them & its great for the planet to 😊💖
I wanted to mention, this little thrift shop is in our small town. Almost everything is $. 50. Jeans are a dollar, hoddies $2 and coats $3. My email is pearlsteinphotography@gmail.com if you want to know where it is. I don't want to say our town publicly. 🥰
I love the outdoors for kids and this is a great idea. Mine love digging too😂 especially when it's muddy.
Playing in mud is a favorite here too. 😊 Thanks for visiting!
This is fun. Reminds me of when my boys were young. One Christmas I bought them The Boys Own Handbook and I think they lived that book. It's still a great resource book. Somewhere in this house I have a book on how to make all sorts of "camps" . I'll have to see if I can find it.
I'll have to find that book, thanks for the recommendation. 🥰 I love seeing what kids come up with when they're playing.
Jane, I looked up The Boy's Own Handbook, is it by, Cecil H. Bullivant?
@@WifetoJohn Hi Brooke! It was written by Daniel Beard. I got the title wrong, it is titled The American Boy's Handy Book. All his books are quite fun for adventurers. The one for the girls (written by his wife) wasn't as good.
I love it when kids get creative outside and make play spaces that they entertain themselves in for many hours. Its such a blessing to have the space and freedom for them to do that. We played covered wagons too. We just laid out old boards to represent the size of ma and pas wagon then put the basic things inside that Laura mentions and old sheets over it but i thought about making it to last a bit longer , maybe big tomato stakes in the ground , i have old poly pipe and id use that to make an arch between them. Then the tarp over it . I think i have so much fun outside too. Haha . Great job everyone and happy playing ❤❤
I know, I like to create with them too! Those are good ideas about the wagon. ❤️
I wished I could go back in time and avoid buying pre-cut because it will save me $$ but that is life ! We learn as we get old so now that I'm cooking for myself I buy whole chicken and I process it into individual portions , first I take the skin off and freeze it in portions too so whenever I want to put some chicken flavor to any meal I take it from the freezer and use it to cook instead of oil or instead of using chicken bouillon (which I don't buy it anymore ) plus I have a nice treat for me and my dogs eating the crunchy chicken skin 😊 then I debone and freeze the bones by pieces as well for whenever I want to make soup or broth which still have some meat there so that's a extra bonus for my dogs after I'm done cooking it and last step I freeze the chicken meat the same individual portions for whenever I crave it (I don't eat meat every week) sometimes we think "oh this is so easy,simple or makes sense nobody will care for it " but there is plenty people that never cook or got any interest of cooking for many reasons and now they want to learn and with that comes the interest on saving money , just an example my mother and my older sister are learning from my "cooking and saving money techniques" can you believe that ?! It should be the other way around right?! So, Yes to more videos please!!!🤗🌸
Ohhhh! I love the idea of freezing the skin and pulling out later! Have you heard of the blog... Hopeandthrift. Blogspot. Com... I think you would enjoy her. She saves her chicken fat in a jar in the freezer and even makes pie crusts with it.
So this was basically the everything is 50 cents each thrift haul sale. 😀 So many amazing things! What a fabulous haul!
Ha! Yes, I guess it was. 🥰
Beautiful your family
Thank you. 🥰
Beautiful your family my dear
Thanknyou. ❤️
I love flower too❤
Beautiful Black hat❤
Hi Brooke. . . LOVED reading your bio. I think you are my sister from another mother! hahahaha 🥰🥰🥰 Hope you have a blessed thanksgiving! Liz
Clearance racks and discount grocery stores is my way to go to stock up my pantry even tho I eat mostly organic I do find great organic food items for a dirt cheap price, you have a nice haul there 👍 thanks for sharing 🤗have a nice evening 🌸
I know from your videos you find great deals on good food!
I need to read this quote several times a day ❣️
I love the movie “I Remember Mama”.
Wow! I tell people about this movie but no one has heard of it. I love it too! ❤️
$.50 cents!!!! The cheaper I can find at my thrift store is $2 and not so good stuff ,I do have better luck with shoes for $15 or $20 good brands and always new ones , thanks for sharing your haul 👍 have a nice evening!
If I go to the bigger city we live near the prices are higher. There is one thrift shop that is run by volunteers and their prices are pretty low. $15 or $20 for new shoes is still a great deal. 😊Have a good day! ❤️
@ yes ,all my shoes from the past 5 years are from the second hand store I'm very lucky and thankful, I wish you have a nice weekend full of blessings !!! 🤗
Nice finds and great prices! I love thrifting!
I love it too! 😊 Happy thrifting to you!
Great finds and you sure can't argue about those prices! Isn't it fun hunting for bargains?
It is SO fun! ❤️ Thanks for watching Jane. 🥰
I didnt know they sold a chickpea chocolate spread. I make chickpea "cookie" dough dip and we have it with fruit , usually apples . Its so tasty and filling . Buying meat on sale and putting it up for later is always a great idea ❤❤
I was looking at the ingredients and thought maybe I could make this? 😊 Your chickpea cookie dough sounds good!!
@WifetoJohn we use the recipe on a site " From my bowl " . We just finished off the batch yesterday. Delicious 😋
@countrymousesfarmhouse497 thanks!!
Thanks for sharing this video, I'm close to the 50's and my kid is already far long out of home and I do miss all the mom life much more than anyone can imagine so listening the kids being kids while you bake or do your house chores it is very warming to my heart , very nice video🤗
I too share your same feelings at the ripe ole,age of 76+ ❣️
@ oh that means this melancholic feeling doesn't go away with the time which means I need to create a plan B 👍 , I wish you have an amazing and blessed weekend !!!
I hope I am doing a good job of savoring it all, some times it's hard to remember that life will not always be this way. ❤️
@@WifetoJohn you are doing a great job ! Believe me,I know the difference from kids with problems due to dysfunctional home because I lived that ugly experience, your kids make noise , play , laugh, interact with you , listen to you both and such that is a blessing !!! That means you are doing a wonderful job momma 👍🤗🌸
@Nostalgicpeapod I'm so sorry you went through that kind of home life. ❤️ Thank you for you sweet and encouraging words.
Hello 🤗, I'm way overdue for this but I finally did it so now I'm subscribed 👍 I think you are really sweet and beautiful woman , I love book reviews because brings me back some of the very few good memories from my childhood, thanks for sharing! hope you are having a nice day so far!
I hope you have a very Merry Christmas! 🥰
@ thanks! I wish you and your family have a blessed day, Merry Christmas !🤗🌸
Thank you for sharing the things you love. I love the Laura Ingalls Wilder books! I remember reading them with my children when they were little. (They are all grown now) My kids liked Beverly Clearly as well! I will have to check out swamp fox. I don't believe I have heard of it. I remember watching Daniel Boone when I was a child!! I loved that show! I hope you and your family have a great week to come!
It sounds like we enjoy the same things! I hope you have a very Merry Christmas. 🥰❤️
@@WifetoJohn Merry Christmas!! 🥰
@bettyjo2737 thank you! 🥰
I really enjoy recommendations for books and movies . Ill have to see about Swamp fox . Im terrible at remembering names of movies and books , so i dont know if i read Little britches or just heard of it somewhere. All my kids and i are big fans of old animal based movies and books . I hope you have a beautiful walking date . Thank you for sharing some favourites with us ❤❤
Hello friend, I hope you have a very Merry Christmas. 🥰❤️
