Meg, you do so many things well, but let me say that from one editor to another, you do a great job telling the story. I only got a glimpse of you editing, but if you are doing it on a lap top from the touch pad with no mouse, my hat is off to you! I would never have the patience not to have a mouse. Granted, I use a lot of special effects and do music vids, but you just consistently turn out good storytelling content. The music is tastefully and meaningfully done, an art a lot of content creators never quite seem to master. Sounds like you might be doing some music vids before long with little Meg starting to sing her way thru her work! That's the way it starts! You do realize she was ad libbing the music and the lyrics, and in her own way, it was making sense! And that little voice. The best music in the world!! ❤❤
Thank you! I really appreciate that. And she is quite the little singer already. ❤️
@@TheHollarHomestead ❤❤
So true!
I noticed her tune was in tune, myself. That child is a wonderment.
Brett seems to watch over her like a hawk helping keep his little sister safe so she can thrive.
I adore this family. Makes me miss my boys being younglings. My granddaughters are lovely, but they have homes. I'm an old-ish man with an empty nest. 🙁
I remember Meg saying one day "excuse the mess, we live here" I felt that, now I say it to everyone who visits or anyone who says "excuse the mess" Great quote 👍👍
Same 😂
Never say excuse your mess….never make excuses for living in your house….our houses are our sanctuary….real friends will never judge.❤️🙏
I like to say ‘excuse the mess, we’re busy making memories’
I love the Swiss Army Wife! A lady of many talents. When partnered with a Swiss Army husband the possibilities are endless. Fantastic tagging along. Thank you for filming and sharing. 🌻🌻💕💕
What a blessing to have a husband who appreciates the canning.
What a super blessing to have a capable wife with the ability and desire to do it. AND Good looking to boot!
Buggy is one Homestead Chic kinda farm girl with her adorable sundress and her muck boots/rain boots!! 😘
Putting the word “party” on anything makes it a better time. 😅
Hi chaoticCountry where are you from?
Next time you need an animal shelter, I bet ur boys could build it 😃 Maybe you should give them a try?
We raised a dozen kids, everything cooked in huge pots. Normal was often multi tasking w/other foods/meals going, but it takes confidence & much practice to flow as smoothly as Meg does. It’s like a fine symphony. Meg flows flawlessly w/such smooth harmony. I love her joy the most and her heart to provide for her family. God says,
“Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it w/all ur might” - that’s Meg.
God Bless ALL ur summer efforts. I Enjoy ur channel very much. ❤
Meg, I've had many jars break recently. I don't think it's you at all!
I just love the Hollar Homestead family so much!
I've been canning for almost 40 years and I've had more jars break in the last couple years than I had in all other years put together
The glass is thinner.
My kids threw out all my canning jars. I was SO angry! I even had some from my grandmother-I didn’t can with them, but they were some thick jars. I told them to mark my words, someday they’ll be sorry they did that. Sounds like “someday” might be coming fast. 😔
Meg IS the all knowing cook, but she is smart enough to refer to the canning expert recipes as needed. Thanks, Meg!
Ben talking about the pig being so judgemental is so funny. 🤣😂 Your content is awesome!!
I canned 50 lbs of tart cherries and 4 qts of chicken broth today. Tomorrow is dishes. Homesteading at its finest. Day of rest so important
You brought back a good memory of my mother and I canning raspberries together one summer. She went to Florida and took some with her, and we both opened jars on Christmas to remember our summer together, and enjoy that summer fruit! She was 90 years old at the time, and our last summer together.
I'm so glad you had that last shared summer memory. My dad passed two years ago he was 87. Our last memory was when he came to visit in the Fall. We went for walks, talked, and prayed together. He passed two months later in his sleep.
Sweet memory
❤
Just a thought from my past when I was a child, my mother would have a big bread pan with a dish towel in the bottom she would have a couple of inches of hot water to sit her jars in to preheat them . This would prevent extreme temp changes and no breakage. Might be worth a try. Love your videos, always looking forward to what's next.
I’ve been canning for years and that’s the first time I have heard this tip..excellent! Glad you shared ❤️🙏
Now that you mention it I recall my Nanny and Granny (great-grandma & grandma) doing the same.
Buggy is an awesome helper😊
😂 dry it off dry it off la de da de da 😂 so precious
Buggy, I love your enthusiasm! The pig shelter came out great- Just paint the other side gray. LOL. I love how y'all do everything you can for no waste. Smart! Beautiful family!
paint fixes lots of things!
I canned cherries one summer and added vanilla bean to the syrup. I then put a piece of the bean in each jar. They were so good with a delicious vanilla back note.
Think about it this way. The pig has one pretty wall on the inside!
I enjoy watching all of your videos....the gardening, cooking, canning, maintenance.....all of it. Don't think we get bored with watching. We don't!
“Swiss army wife”…I love it! Meg you are the poster woman for a super mom, wife, teacher, chef and caretaker of the home!! Your so talented in the kitchen…absolutely amazing! Ben, the pig shelter looked great and I so enjoyed watching Buggy hanging right with you…as she always does! Blessings Hollar family from your biggest fan❤🙏
At least Mo has an accent wall in his new bachelor pad!
I know I have said it before but I love how you all get in together as a family and get jobs done.
It warms my heart. My two eldest have moved out this year. One to follow his dream of becoming a spray painter and moved to the city to gain more experience ❤️ and the other other interstate to Melbourne for University ❤.
Which only leaves my baby (15 almost 16 ) at home. As much as I don’t miss the arguments I miss them being here. Enjoy them and the way they help. That is a true credit to you both as parents.
I love watching your videos the banter and the laughs. The way you show the good and the bad. Thank you
Sweet little Buggie brings me such joy. I hope I have a granddaughter just like her some day. ♥️
LOL I have a passel of grandkids. They all are my favorites. The youngest just turned 4 and is a princess. She has to have dress up (Disney princess dresses) clothes on almost everyday for the last 2 years. And she will tell you just how things are. She & Buggie would make a great set of twins.
I think Buggy needs to decorate that side of the pig shelter:-)How fun to look out and see that,and she would be so happy.
Love the way you are bejeweling the kitchen with all the jars of goodness.
God Bless
Donna
You encourage the rest of us to shake it off and keep going when we see that you make mistakes too!
Your young son, whose always with you and watching looks ready and keen to start helping you with building projects.
I live in the cherry capital of the 🇺🇸, Northern Michigan. Cherries were in great abundance this year.
💚 Love that pig shelter! What a cherry-pitting party..SO many cherries! The pinwheels look so yummy. Love Buggie singing while she dries her pink tea cup💚
I just want to say that you as a families videos are the highlight of my evening!! I know that as a family you have to take off time for yourselves and other things..but I could watch you all-day long and trust me.i have!! I love seeing the chemistry you two have between each other as husband and wife...it's nice to see the love you have for each other..I also love just watching you as you do your daily activities..I think it's safe to say that I really love you guys!! Thank you for the time you put into making these videos for all to see and enjoy!! I pray that God blesses you all in your coming and going endeavors!! And I just want to say that buggies looks so much Luke her younger brother...God Bless you all ..much love!!❤❤❤
There's always gray paint...Love Mos new home. Yay! Canning!
Meg you are a rockstar at canning. It happens to everyone.
I love videos that feature little Buggy doing her cute sing-song playing. She reminds me so much of my daughter when she was that age. She was also a little blonde peanut and her nickname was Boogie, and she was always chatting away and singing in a little high voice just like Buggy. So busy and precocious! And every time Buggy is featured I always think of my daughter who is now 24. enjoy it, it goes by fast! ❤
Memories for me. When my four boys were young into teen years, every summer I would can fruit, pickles and beans to have for the winter. Both Royal Anne and Bing cherries were 10 cents a pound so we upicked around 80 pounds of them. And I would always manage to find pie cherries for upick, sometimes free and sometimes 5 cents a pound. They were so easy to prepare since you pick them with the stems on, wash and then pull the stems. Pits come out with the stems so I would freeze them in quart bags with a little sugar, all ready for pies. The other cherries I waterbath canned and I will tell you, after the first year, I never pitted another canned cherry. Everyone just had an old Tupperware little bowl by their plate and the pits went in there. Two cookies and a bowl of cherries was a great after school snack. We would get 50 quarts or so. That was on top of all the peaches I canned after you picking them, all the tomatoes, dill pickles, bread and butter pickles, tomato sauce, applesauce, wild blackberry jam and frozen berries for crisps and usually 30-40 pounds of blueberries frozen in old metal coffee cans for muffins and pies or just a handful icy cold for desert. I miss all of that hustle and bustle and everyone working together and laughing. My boys still talk about doing it with fond memories. My oldest is no 55 and youngest almost 50 so those were busy years and oh how I miss them. I also love watching Simple Living Alaska and you should see if Buggie would like Girl in the Woods. Cute little doggie, fishing, hiking, flowers, berries, building and quiet solitude in the woods.
Love the pig shelter build. Hope Mo approves. 🤩
🎶Dry it off! Dry it off! Dry it off!! Doot-doot-doo-doooooo!🎶
The cuteness dares you not to smile and wanna hug her.🧡🧡🧡
Meg is phenomenal in the kitchen caring for her family 😊
I just love me a judgmental pig lol 😆 they are so smart!
Meg, the original Swiss Army Wife… yeah!!
Cherry stained wood is beautiful 🍒
I can hardly believe how fast the kids are growing, must be all that awesome organic food!
Enjoyed this entire episode of the Hollar Family. Thanks for posting! Have a very nice weekend 🥰
As much as I don't understand English very well I'm loving your videos
I love that yall show so much about canning. Not a lot of the homesteading channels I watch do, and I'm in the process of learning. Plus, Meg shows a lot of ways to use different things that you grow..
When you can a lot of food the odds are that you will experience some trouble here and there…you can a LOT!
I lost my first jar years ago, the bottom broke cleanly around, that was the hardest.
I love the new name Swiss Army Wife!
♥️👍🤓
Pig house looks great! A whole lot better than what I threw together
Love, love, love this channel...so friendly and just plain charming...but, most of all real. Thank you so much for your videos...take care! 🍃🌞💚🌻🏠
Yay! The Hollar Homestead video is up!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Rub your hands, etc with shortening or the spray Pam helps not stain as bad. I’m a custom cake decorator and it helps when I have to use food gels. Comes off easier.
Love the tip.
That little buggy girl is the cutest little girl!!!❤
Ben, you are so funny as you commentate on what's going on in the kitchen! Oh and that Buggy what a character! That fake cough was hilarious! Meg you are a cooking wonder!
I’m having a party for one, canning green beans, juicing choke cherries and then canning the juice. I’ll make jelly with the juice at a later date. My children are grown and on their own. They do like to shop my pantry though.
Lol..my kids shop my pantry too…and I love that they do. Blessings❤️
Awe Meg I’m so sorry you’re having such a hard time with those darn jars!!! Ball needs to get on the job here and fix this problem or another company will scoop in and see their problem and start taking customers 😮
Meg, hun, it's not just you I have had more jars shatter, crack or refuse to seal this year, than ever before, and I have been solo canning since I was about 10, and I'm in my 40s
Awesome pig shelter and the pitting party, awesomeness family!!!
The real question is how many cherries 🍒 actually made it into the bowls? Lol 😂
Moe’s going to appreciate his cover this winter either way ! Just as you’re going to enjoy all of your preserving this winter. 💕
Great shelter.
I love the canning and the building, the planting, the harvesting, well, safe to say I just love your videos, lol.
Oh, I love cherries 🍒. Great family effort with cherries. The pig shelter looks great.. you could always paint the odd side. 😊
I love to see the family working and interacting together. It looks like fun and it gets things done quick, fast and in a hurry. Buggy is the supervisor over everything; from building the pig shelter to the pitting and canning of cherries. She lets her wishes be known. 💕💕Meg is the hardest working Mom and Wife. She really is a superwoman. Good content in each video.
Meg , you are a mad canner! Way to stock those shelves. Summer in a jar 😀☀️
Pitting parties make good memories!!! I have a Rooster that gives me that same look and his name is Moe. Lol
A messy kitchen is a productive kitchen 🤩
My mom & I canned together & now I have some beautiful memories with her 😇
I will never get tired of watching gardening, canning, building etc with your family ❤❤
👵🏻👩🌾❣️
I like the fact that you show the awesome, great, good parts of homesteading as well as failures. Reality is that you can't control winning outcomes all the time but about 90 0/0 of the time there is awesome benefits. Living life on what works for your family. Thank You for showing us it can be done.😊😊😊😊
When I can, I put my clean jars in a 250 degree oven and then I prepare my food to can. By the time I’m ready to fill jars, they are warm enough for the boiling water.
Tgif,and happy weekend and ty for sharing all your canning, i for one love watching you do this,my mom always did that during my younger years,she is now 90 and i miss her doing that👍😊...
I’m loving the canning! I’ve been canning everyday too!
I love to watch all your kitchen cooking and canning❤
I love to watch Simple Living Alaska your videos are awesome as well 🎉
Meg don't feel bad about a couple of broken jars you are just showing us what it really is like it does not always go as planned you can only clean up the mess and move on so you go, girl
I love how you show everyday life on your homestead. Blessing to you all.
Canning is such an important staple in all homesteads, and you have so many hands to speed up the work!!
Thank you for all of your videos, mistakes and all!!
Blessings!!
Hmmm... I never thought to jar cherries. I've jarred cherry jam, pie filling, and made wine, but I never thought to jar them by themselves. There must be recipes for jarred cherries somewhere.
Just a safety tip... always pour away from yourself so you do not get scalded if the pot slips. You may find that you have better control if you place the container in a stool. I'm surprised that large glass jar didn't break when you poured hot cherry water into it. What I do sometimes is to run hot tap water around the outside of the jar before pouring hot liquids into it.
As for the pig wall, you should paint it to seal the bare particle board. Moisture will cause it to expand and fall apart. If you teach your sons to build and cut along with you, they will catch your mistakes before you make them. (eventually)
Nice to see the entire family working on the cherry project. Sure wish we had that many hands again. We normally pick our cherries at an orchard, but this year I am too far behind on everything to get it done. Tough year.
Love your "pitti" parties and it seems the kids do as well. Yum! Sorry about the broken jar. That stinks. Ben the pigs don't care what their house looks like but you could maybe pick up a spray can of paint and touch it up if you like.😘 Enjoy your weekend!
Then again... perhaps Mo really might appreciate an Accent Wall inside his Batchelor abode. Pigs are smart. 😊
I was so happy to see this video. I got cherries from my In Laws family fruit farm. My husband and I pitted them and chopped them today. We got 5 bags of 2 pounds each to make jam. I will make 2 batches of jam tonight maybe? And vacuum seal the other 3 for jam through the year. I will give the In Laws a batch now and if they want one this winter make them up another one. With what they gave us it came to 10# ( For jam) and 9.6 ounces in a bowl in the fridge for the kids to make milk shakes tonight. We had it knocked out in under an hour. I was shocked. My In Laws said if we wanted more sweet cherries to come and get them since there shaking them. My husband and youngest son Ryan are headed out to the farm to get a lug of cherries. After seeing your video I decided to can some quarts of cherries and something else with the ones they are getting today. We get it free so what a huge blessing. We also get bushels of variety of apples in the fall and make all kinds of things. I would have never though to can them until I saw you do that yesterday. Thank you so much. Can you add to a video just a few words of what all you use the cherries for please? I know you said jam and Danishes I think was mentioned? Never made them but I am up for anything. I have been canning 30 years but still always learn new things and love it. Enjoy your video's so much. Thanks for sharing. Have a wonderful weekend.
Love all your videos! Especially the ones where you are working together ❤
Our neighborhood got together and we have an Azure drop now! So excited, and the first thing I ordered is the cherries!
Love watching Meg cook, everything looks Sooooo Goooood
Meg, you are a Proverbs 31 woman, aka “Swiss Army Wife”. When a household decides to cook from scratch, it is a big job. Taking into account all the other chores, you still have to put together meals that take time, attention and care. What a great example you set. It’s also heartwarming to see how much your family truly appreciates it all.
Cherries!! Yummy! 😋😋😋
I love Simply Living Alaska too! It is a good show .. The Alaska channels are good and beautiful but you two are one of my favorite ! I am canning watching you..
great job on the piggie house hugsss
I love the canning videos and seeing all the kiddos helping prepare food for Meg to can. ❤️
Outstanding!!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Patricia
Thank you for sharing the good and the "ooops"!
Lovely family togetherness. Thanks for sharing.
I loved, "you're a Swiss Army Wife". That was so sweet.
I love ALL your videos…especially the ones that include both the inside and outside activities! Those pinwheels looked absolutely delicious🤗! I love cherries too😘. I’ve been known to get sick a time or two from eating too many🥴! Little Buggy was so adorable hanging with Dad in her red boots and washing her teacup in the kitchen🥰.
Love hearing Buggy sing/hum. I love watching you can. Reminds me of when my mom used to do it. Have a great weekend! ❤
Have a great weekend😊
Not to be confused with a pity party! hahahhahahahahahaha! Once again, Buggy shines!
7:39 😂Love the “Mama! It’s pa-tink-ing outside!”
Great job on the pig hut happy cherry pitting have fun with the kids its so good ro see the whole family working together on projects
Sorry your jars are breaking im having problems with mine unsealing n ruining my beans
I love to watch you preserving your food, canning. I’m canning green beans, I’m almost done and then I’ll plant more carrots and beets. I made some pickled green beans and that’s how I can all my beets. I think Mo will like his house no matter how it looks! It’s awesome! Omg, Buggy and her song is adorable! “Dry it off, dry it off!” ❤️
I like the canning and preserving videos. It's important to show Farm to Table, now more than ever.
I actually love, the most in the whole family is involved in a chore
If you feed the cherries to the chickens keep those eggs aside for you sweet baking. So pie crusts cakes, cookies etc. they are incredibly sweeter and richer when fed cherries. It sounds silly i I promise chicken eggs fed on cherries will change your cakes for the better. I used to live near a cherry farm and they started selling cake eggs after I asked if I could buy a box of the cherries off of the ground for my chooks.
They let me have the box for free (off the ground) I also bought 4 boxes of edible cherries from them. (In Australia we get boxes about half the size of yours) then when I went back next time she would give me 2-3 boxes every time as a thank you. ❤❤❤
Buggy singing...adorable!❤
I am a canner, the type of break you get on the jar may be related to temperature shock- which puts stress on the jars. Hot jar + hot liquid= no problem. Cold jar in hot water= potential for jar mess. The way that NCHFP instructs how to pack the jars is to heat the jars on the stove (in water) and pack them one by one, returning each one back to the pot after putting the lid and the screw band. Then you et your next jar out, pack it, and so on. I haven’t had any breakage that way. enjoy the season. And the cherries.
Lots of memory for your children
Awesome progress & family! Thanks for sharing!
Losing the jar of cherries was very sad. The pin wheels looked amazing!
Saw Becky’s Acre Homestead video with the stress relief kitchen mats. Thought of you, Meg. And your helpers.
Tip. Use a cut lemon to remove gardening or cherry/currant stains from hands and nails. If it doesn’t instantly work, leave juice to dry on for a few minutes then rinse. Saves on rubbing hands raw. 💅
Works on wood work surfaces too if you want. 👍🏻
Thank you all for sharing your life. I feel peace and calm when watching. Love your family! 🥰
