Looks good! Could you share how you make kombucha?
Hi Jolene! There are lots of great Tutorials on Kombucha making right here on UA-cam. I just started making it a few months ago. It's easy and my family loves it! I got my SCOBY and starter tea off of Amazon. Hope that helps. Have a good day!!
I’m so glad you’re back! Missed you. 🤗🤟🏼💞
Yay! Thank you!
Hello my friend! That is so cool! Congratulations on your new endeavor! Many blessings from Washington State 🤗💞
👋Well Hello Kitty!!! Thank you!
its nice to see you back !
Thank you so much! I've missed you guys.❤️
Christa, I was so excited to see a video from you!! Congratulations on the farmstead and all the new adventures going on with you and your family. I can’t wait to hear more. I love when you do little devotions in your videos!! Have a blessed week!
Thank you so much!! I'm excited my sweet UA-cam friends are slowly finding my channel again!
Hi Christa! It's so great to see you back on YT! I love this new video and hope to see more. I loved what you said about how working together encourages the kids who aren't naturally hard workers to work hard and be proud of the accomplishment :)
Hi Lindsay!!! Thank you. I hope you are having a wonderful Sunday with your family!
Oh my goodness. I’m excited to see your new place. I love it!
Yay! Thank you!
We miss you
I miss seeing your videos, Christa! Hope all is well!
Hope everything is ok with you and your family🌺
Thank you for the very sweet video! Here we are still in a pandemic! I guess we will just continue on and do what we can do and be grateful! Starting THM and it's really feeling good for me. New subscriber!
I hope you are all doing well 😊
God bless you, continue encouraging people, continue spreading positivity.
Thank you! I’m just getting started, and this has made it so much simpler. I’m glad to see I’m already using some of these starter recommendations! I’m 65 yr. old and hoping this can be a weight loss answer for me!
Really such an awesome encouragement :) Thank you so much and will Im here to wait for the next one :)
Checking different diets, THM is really the most complicated with tons of books. Up to now, I like Weight Watchers more, pretty simple, not a tons of books and the site is very attractive and easy to use. I am not fan of Coconut Oil, I heard different and controversial critics about of its healthy or not, I prefer Virgin Olive Oil. Thanks for the information, of all the videos I checked about THM, yours is the most straight to the point, the others too talkative.
I always miss your videos in between! Looking forward to another! 💕
Thanks for your tips and tricks videos.
Hello love the haul. New to THM. I am dairy free so I can find two or three dairy free halo top.
Wise words my friend! I love your encouragement. I've gotten serious about THM and my goals over the past two weeks and my mood has been down more than up as I've taken my pacifier away pretending I was eating at or below carbs and fats for each fuel when I was eating over for most meals. I finally saw the scale budge at the end of last week when it hadn't for weeks. I started THM in Jan.. Have you dealt with having moodiness when you were trying to smash some weight goals?
It is ALWAYS a pleasure to see you on UA-cam! I look forward to your encouraging words & smile. 😊 I love you hairstyle you’ve been rocking lately! Blessings for today & all week! 🤗💕
You always encourage me, Christa! Thanks for the reminder to encourage others in my life. Have a blessed day!
Thanks Joni! You Too!
That's how I've always done THM my way & not perfectly on plan lol started 2 years ago & have lost 50#. Would like to lose 10# more but if I do I do if I don't I'm okay with it 🤷♀️ I do cheat occasional but basically maintain my weight by eating mostly low carb. I mix up THM dinners with keto dinners & it works for me & my husband who lost 25# along with me on this weightloss journey of ours.
I just want to thank you so much for this video. I am a THMer from way back - back when the original book was all there was. I lost about 30 pounds just eating THM style - no exercising. I even did a series on THM on my channel. But I eventually stalled out, got bored, and stopped eating THM. Over the years, I keep coming back to it because it truly is a wonderful lifestyle. I'd committed to eating on plan over the last month and was excited to finally put on some of my work clothes (I'd been working from home due to the pandemic) and they were all snug. I felt so discouraged. The past two days I've just found myself eating whatever because I was just so disappointed. But, I after watching your video, I feel like I've been encouraged again and am looking to put in a few of your suggestions. Some of the things you said really hit home for me. I'm not in the same stage of life that I was when I did THM before and that gave me a lot of food for thought. Thank you again for this video!
Mandi I am so glad it encouraged you. Early on in my journey I watched some of your series on THM and was encouraged by you as well so I guess we have encouraged each other!! 💗 Blessings on the journey, keep in touch!
Country fun, reminds me of my childhood & when my kids were younger. Such delicious looking food!!!
Thank you! Definitely, Farm + kids= fun!!
Fun to see all this. We are having Chicken Lazone tonight!
Chicken Lazone is a favorite around here!
I love THM grocery hauls! Zevia (cream soda) and Halo Top (cookie dough) are Mama-only summer treats in our house. They are yummy treats!
My husband and teenage daughter are on plan too so sometimes I share!😉
I used to forget to pull out my meat the night before, too! Now I do it twice a week instead and pull out what I need for a couple of days. I find it easier. We are having Broiled shrimp and the THM creamy coleslaw!
That's a great idea!! It might just solve my problem. Broiled shrimp sounds yummy!!
I have that same Pioneer Woman mug & it is my favorite for coffee. 😁 Everything looked great!
I love it!
Planning. Planning. Ugh 😩 I have an awful time with that. I find I have shot from the hip for so long that I’m having a difficult time changing. I’ve been doing IF for the last 6 wks doing more of a keto style but it is some much like THM. Bit this planning thing has me all stressed & frazzled a lot of the time lately. Congratulations for getting a tighter grip on the wagon! 😉😂 Blessings 🤗💕
I know Kitty!! The planning does feel overwhelming sometimes but it's so nice when it's done.
Wonderful encouragement! Thank you
I am on week 5 of my journey & have lost 9 lbs. so far. I am still reading up on THM. I couldn't hold off starting until the book was finished. :) I usually end up having an E meal for lunch each day. I was wondering if it's ok to eat eggs every single day? I've read different answers to this, but haven't found it in my THM book yet. You're journey is awesome, Christa! Thank you for sharing it.
Wow!! You are doing great! I eat eggs pretty often. I would say if it works for your body I wouldn't worry about it. If you start to stall out mix it up a little.
Love the Zevia all flavors
Cream Soda and Dr. Zevia are our favorite!!
Thanks Jennifer, the Dr. Zevia was good! I wish they had a variety pack so I could try all the flavors without committing to the six pack of a flavor I don't like.
THM here & the halo top peanut butter is my favorite & for the zevia unfortunately I cannot stand them. So I drink either water, bai raspberry super tea or the armor lyte drinks.
I have been wanting to try the bai drinks. Peanut butter Halo Top is yummy too !
Just started reading the THM book and I'm so excited to find a grocery haul with it, and hopefully get some tips and tricks from you
So glad you are here Jessica!!
I ❤️Zeva’s my favorite flavor is pink grapefruit & Ginger ale. My grandkids like the cream soda, I don’t care for that flavor but will ALWAYS go for the pink grapefruit. Stocking up on meat when you did was a God thing. Holy Spirit directed you same as my husband did for us. I’d like to know what your July meal plan is. I like your hair but understand when it gets longer than you are used it can feel odd, but it does look great. Blessings 💕
Thanks Kitty. I will have to try the pink grapefruit. That sounds good to me! I agree, I am so thankful we stocked up on meat. Have a good day!
I didn't know that Halo Top is on plan for THM. I've been missing out! 😂
It's actually a personal choice on THM so it's not totally 100% on plan but I eat them anyway, just not everyday 🙂
I second what Shanna said. Halo Top is a personal choice item. I eat a spoonful or two at a time on occasion.
I use those tortillas for a quick, low-carb pizza. Usually use olive oil salt and Italian seasoning as the base.
I love them that way too for a quick lunch bite! I have been realizing I am eating them too often though. I am going to have to cut back.😢 Everything in moderation.
Thanks for sharing this! We have been loving our school breakfasts, lunches, and food boxes too. I appreciate your reminder to not be ashamed of taking these gifts, but instead be thankful!
I've been loving these videos, and love feeling like I'm chatting with you! Your hair looks so cute!!
Awww thanks Lindsay!
I took some potatoes and cut like french fries blanched and froze them for later.
That sounds like a good idea. Some are rotting already. I also thought about making mashed potatoes for the kids and freezing them.
From Kansas as well and have been loving the boxes
Praise God you are being blessed with this food. Great plan to have the sugary stuff as snacks instead of the meal. The kids need protein power to run on & helps them to fully focus. Blessings! So glad to see you again! 💕
Oh soo funny about the van doors!! So real with family life!! Growing up large families were the norm, we have five children and people used too look at us too, but wouldn't trade for anything. Blessings to you and your family. You are an inspiration!
Aren't large families fun!! I completely agree...wouldn't have it any other way. Thank you!
We get school food too. Different state, similar food. We get gallons or half gallons of milk/chocolate milk. And often an entire vegetable. I get food for 6 so once I got 6 heads of butter lettuce. The program is for all children 0 through 18. Glad you are taking advantage of it as a homeschool mom. I always promote these programs because if they aren’t being used they no longer happen.
That's A LOT of lettuce! Our city advertises the same thing, that we need to take advantage of it or everyone loses it!
I can't wait to see your THM video. I've been on plan for almost a month now. I've been enjoying your back porch chats. Have a blessed day!
Awesome, Thank you Wendi!! The THM Update is scheduled to post next Thursday.
Another great reminder Christa, to look at the blessings. Sometimes in the middle of a situation, it can be hard to not focus on the negative. Have a blessed day!
So true!
I had a pastor's wife that used to tell me "We don't change our minds. We make new and better decisions." Glad to see you again. Hope you all are well.
Thank you Melanie! That's a great way to look at it.
