Genius level hack on the bubbles taped to the railing!
I love the idea of taping the bottle of bubbles to the railing! I’m stealing that hack😊❤!!
I’m surprised your HOA allowed such a large garden and a greenhouse. Your lucky
Your brother has so blessed you and you have so blessed your children! 💕
What a lovely way to start my day. The glances and smiles from the twins during singing at breakfast-cuteness overload. ❤
I sometimes teach classes for homeschool co op and I always say we do t make mistakes…we only make correctable solutions!! The kids love that!! They feel like it’s ok to don’t do everything right the first time. They’re all learning experiences!! Love the way you felt with the watering situation!!❤❤❤
When I homeschooled my granddaughter I would tell her school was for learning new things. If we already knew it we wouldn’t need to learn it. That helped her when she became frustrated.
Awesome, Grace!!!! You are such an awesome helper for your mom.
You look so peaceful and happy, it's lovely to see. Also the way you handled the problem with watering was very kind hearted, deliberately not calling out the child or shaming him but gently teaching. Finally, what a nice time with only Justice and you. Congratulations to Grace!
Grace was always beautiful but she is becoming stunning. I pray she is lovin her new life💕💕
Beautiful children. Grace is amazing. Besides her school work, she jumps right in with everything and knows what needs to be done 💕🙏🏼
Hi.... Bri nice to see you and your children to, thank you for showing your video homestead 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 🌱🏡🎥👍👍👍
Brilliant idea taping the bubble container to the railing!!!!😮😮😮
Right! I’ve blown bubbles with dozens of toddlers over the years and never thought of this. Brilliant!
Congratulations Grace!!! Bri I just love your type of parenting! Your kids are great! Im proud of you and the way your rising from a very tuff year.I’m sure all days are not sunshines and rainbows but your working on making this new life good for your kids and yourself!
Grace is so beautiful ~ inside and out! You are so Blessed Bri. ALL your children are reflections of how you have raised them and treated them from day one. You give them all the gift of LOVE and it shows! It was so special to see the twins while singing your Praise song - and how she was swaying and full of joy and he was checking her out... and you could tell that he was learning from her. They are amazing ~ the twins ~ and ALL the children! GOD BLESS YOU ALL! in the Name of Jesus Christ!
Good for Grace! How exciting! It's lovely to see you sit with your children at breakfast and sing to the Lord. You are doing wonderful, Bri. Don't doubt yourself.
Love how you are teaching the kids how to garden. Excellent!
I love that your children help each other so much especially while you go out to the garden and teach one of your son's about what to do and how to do it. It was so exciting that everyone surprised you the other day with extending your garden and a NEW GREEN HOUSE!!!! Bri you know that God is SMILING at you in many many ways. Just keep that smile going and looking UP. Big hugs to you ALL. Thank you for a GREAT video.
Also, I love how you turned the gardening oops into a learning experience for all, Even US!!
That's awesome that you turned the water incident into a learning lesson for all the kids.
And for me! I really am not careful about watering, so I appreciate the lesson!
@@wendycape7283 it was a lesson for me as well
A tip that I learned about direct sowing carrots or any tiny seeds is to add the seeds to some sand, then broadcast. You will see where they are landing and how thick. You won't have to thin as much.
That's a great idea. I thicken water with cornstarch, the next day I add my carrot seeds, then pipe them into their rows. It works for me with little to no thinning🥀
“Let’s just step back and just look at the garden.” Love it!
The depth of peace and joy us kindred garden souls experience is beyond description.
The troubles of life literally melt away when I am gazing at my garden.
More inspiration than ever! A child so lovingly and gently corrected…darling babies having breakfast. A beautiful young lady being celebrated for her diligence and hard work, and a lovely garden plan that will enrich everybody….some who don’t even know it yet!!😉 you are so like my daughter Pam. She also homeschooled her children and oh what wonderful times they had! Both are college educated,wonderful young men. When we would go to the homeschooling group gatherings, it was pure joy to see such a group of children so kind to each other and well mannered. If ours were little today, they SURE wouldn’t be in public school!! I applaud all of you moms and dads that take this route.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💖🤗👍👍
Easter can be everyday, but we are in the 40 days of Easter then he goes on up. Y’all always a pleasure
Your thoughtful mothering is a huge gift to the world.
I remember Brighton being your little gardener at the farm. What you are teaching him is better then any book knowledge He will be able to feed his own family one day. Your garden looks amazing Bri, praying you have an awesome first harvest. Love watching your children, they are all a delight. Grace is such a gently beautiful soul but then all your children are. Hugs.
When a plant dies in the weed fabric, I plant some flower or herb seeds in that hole. It helps with the pollination and pests. Your an inspiration. Keep up the good work. I also plant (selective weeds) In the weed fabric. Ex. In your tomato holes I also plant basil marigolds or allysum seeds. Once the plant gets big your going to get weeds in the hole. If you plant your selective weeds it will keep your ground covered with stuff you want.
Love this! I often do the same with planting herbs and flowers throughout my garden!
I am so impressed by your knowledge Bri! I am also so impressed by the gentleness you have with your children❤️ I personally am working so hard to improve that with my own kids and it really helps me hear how you talk with them when your busy trying to get things done❤️ thank you for being a great example and allowing us to learn from you!
You are an inspiration too many. Your calm demeaner, calm voice and joyful smile is contagious. The way you dealt with the watering issue was to be commended. It taught a valuable lesson not only to your children but also to me! I can not wait to see the garden in a few months.
I love that you garden with your children and you do it in such a peaceful manner that the children love being with you❣️
I also love that you teach them as you go and not just by doing but letting them try also!! It was wonderful when I heard you say that your child was far more important than any plant that might get killed accidentally!!😊♥️😊♥️😊♥️😊♥️😊♥️
How incredible that statement was and how good that made the child feel and he will reflect on that for years to come.
Another thing you did, Bri, Was to teach all the children about watering at the same time instead of shaming to one little boy for what he did wrong. Again your statement was that you would never humiliate him in front of the others or make him feel bad because his self-worth was more important than correcting him in front of the other children!!!! What a wonderful mother you are❣️❣️
In terms of the cardboard blowing away and weighting it down, Some thing I did was she put dirt on it, not necessarily completely over the entire amount of cardboard but just enough at the end inside and even the middle, if it was a big piece, So that it could not Blow away… you might have to replace some of the dirt mid summer but that would depend on how much wind and rain you had. I noticed that some of your cardboard was very shiny on one side so it was very good that you put that side up otherwise it would make a barrier for moisture to get through. Also, you can use newspaper instead of cardboard and it does not harm the plants. I used newspaper a lot in my Garden when I did not
Have access to cardboard. Just another idea for keeping barriers between plants.
I feel your excitement…I know you sleep well at night…oh, I remember when I had your energy!
How pleased God must be to hear you all sing the praises of our Heavenly Father for your blessing. It lifts me everytime I hear it. I’m catching up with your videos. Bless you from Texas.
That's what I call parental sensitivity. You didn't blame but you taught the lesson obliquely, then followed up with a nonjudgemental reinforcement. That's a special skill. I didn't always have it when my own kids were small. Fortunately, I sometimes did. I think I'd be a better parent now and that learning experience is probably why my grandmother was a delight for me but was harder on her own girls. Mothering is a skill that needs experience to master, like anything else.
a fantastic vegetable garden is growing
I was unable to comment on your latest video of your visit to the farm to see the calf…. I’m sure I’m not alone but I was crying with you … I felt your pain, I’m so sorry for your loss but embrace what you have now and enjoy the life you are creating with your gorgeous children xxx
I know that feeling of accomplishment and enjoying the beauty. I hope you sleep well each night. I love how much the kids have learned!
Looks like fun day in store for you all
You are doing an amazing job, Bri.
Congratulations Grace!!!🌷🌼🌻🏵
it is great to see GRACE. i miss seeing her
I'm so happy you decided to get back on you tube. I'm always happy to see your post. Good job Grace. Thank you again .
Dear Bree--you wonderfully sweet lady… I’m so happy for you that your garden is coming along. I will pray that you get your plants, flowers, fence all put in. Blessings Helena Montana. We might be getting snow ⛄️ today. 😢
Your joy in your child’s rainbow wonder is very special. Hugs.
You are a teacher. Whether in schoolroom or the garden, you turn every opportunity into a learning experience. ❤
Also - you're doing a great job editing your videos. You're a quick learner!
Also - I don't know if this would work, but maybe those tiny clips that are used in sewing could do a good job holding your netting onto your garden hoops. They're like chip clips, but they're REALLY small (used instead of straight pins while sewing), and you buy them in bags of about 20.
Bri, each time you post a new video it just fills me with so much hope. You seem to come more alive with each video. Thank you for sharing your beautiful and hopeful journey with us. I can really see God showing up everywhere around you. I hope you and the kids have a blessed day.
Thank you for sharing your information about cutting off sick leaves. After you told us I went to my roses and cut off the leaves that had rust spots and threw them in the trash.
Bri, Praying your week is blessed and pleasant! I love how you teach your children about gardening. It’s also cool how your oldest daughters learn about cooking. Singing hymns at meal time is very precious. You inspire me in my daily walk with God. God bless you Bri! ❤
Grace is such a bright and beautiful girl! Such a bright future ahead!! Bri you're a star mentor fir your kids!! Lovely video!! 💕🙏💕
I love the way you dealt with the watering situation, very wise!!
First off Congrat Grace on your home school awesome job. Sec Bri I love how your son helped you in the garden and how he payed such great attention to you. Joy awesome job on fixing lunch for everyone . Bri your children are growing up to be such a Blessing to watch.
Keep up the great work to an awesome mother!
Thanks for sharing love watching you how you cope with your children you are blessed thanks for sharing love Kathy from Australia 🇦🇺 🇦🇺 🇦🇺 😊
Youre a great mom, those kiddos are so blessed
It is lovely to hear you all singing hymns together (and the babies enjoying it). Grace has grown so much over the years. I also have an 8th grader who is finishing up school soon. Then my two oldest will both be in high school. It is craziness, but wonderful.
Sidewalk chalk is so much fun for all time.
It is good that you didn't embarrass your child about the plant issue when they were doing their best to help, and instead used it as a way to learn and grow for the future. We all need to learn and improve.
The garden is growing so much already!!!
Yay!! A lovely day for you, caused by your great attitude!
He's an adorable child! I loved teaching children to garden at a children's center.
You are a amazing woman and Mama. Be proud. Love your family singing. Your garden is amazing and will your family constantly. Love you and your children. Keeps smiling. From Dartmouth Nova Scotia 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️❤️❤️🌸🌸🌸😍😍
Awesome Grace, well done!!!! God is soooo good.
😊💕🙏🏻🇨🇦
Bri, the sun filtering through your hat formed beautiful white freckles on your face! So lovely!
Great job Grace! Sorry to hear about your plants. I'm sure it was one of those moments where Bri needed to step aside and take a deep long breath. You handled the situation very well. I'm glad you did not lose more plants than you did.🤗💛
Brighton is your gardening buddy. He is developing A passion for it thanks to you. Sorry if I misspelled his name. Love you and your kiddos. Coleen from Nebraska.
He really is my kid that loves the garden!
Congratulations Grace I am so happy for you. Bri your garden is coming on nicely. Have a lovely day.
Did you ever try to take the seeds off a strawberry and dry them on a paper towel and then plant them. I was so surprised I could do that. It would be a nice project for your kids to try. Love watching you. God Bless
Congratulations Grace!
And…What a beautiful way to teach when what we call here “accidents happen” about the watered garden. Rather than scolding. Good job Mama!
I love all your future garden plans. I can’t wait to see what’s next!
That's awesome you may be approved for a fence not for only the garden I hope you get it all around like you wish for that will be great for all the kiddos, because of the road....you're garden is looking great keep up the good work 😊
He is such a great helper 💙. All of your kids are great!😊
Beautiful, so beautiful! Your children are so very nice and well behaved. I love how they have interest in the garden. Truly a blessing from above! It was so good to meet you last weekend. Blessings on you!
Nice you have a sister to help with the plans you look so content 🙏
My little Shih tzu Maltese mix got spayed two weeks ago and she acted completely normal, full of energy, the next day when the meds wore off lol We couldn't catch her to stop her from jumping up and down from furniture. We closed off the stairs so she could do down at least lol
You are such a great mom, so sensitive to your children’s feelings. Congrats Grace! I’m am totally amazed you have been able to do as much as you have on your property, dealing with HOA is most cases is a battle.
Love it. I love the fact that you know how to enjoy what you have and not to worry about what you don't have! ❤❤❤ Keep it that way, friend!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge on gardening. I'm new at it and use help.
Such a good momma!! I worry when the world breaks his/her heart!! But be strong and courageous in the Lord. I always teach mine at the appropriate age, that at home we make mistakes and do not condemn. In the world it can be different. I preach Psalms 23 to my kids. "He prepareth a table before me in the presence of mine enemy." and to "Be patient and wait on the Lord!" I have used these scriptures so many times when feeling humiliated or misunderstood. God always reveals my intentions. I just love, love, love, and God handles the rest..
I love the ending of your video. From one Momma to another. I love those little pockets of time.
Hi Bri, I have just started watching your channel and your positivity throughout your struggles and your sweet nature really shines through, you're an inspiration to us Christian mothers and I know you will be rewarded when you get to heaven one day because you pushed through the fire and didn't give up on The Lord. God bless your family.
God bless Grace as she enters high school this Fall! 🤗 Bri, I like how you're her biggest fan.
Bri, You should run for the HOA! Get things done for the neighborhood!!
Just adore how much your kids show so much love to you as you do them. ❤
I love how you made time for self-care.❤
I am so proud of you. I have to admit that I thought of you and the children last year and was worried. You have emerged stronger and more beautiful than ever. You are a wonderful example for your children.
Bubbles are the UNIVERSAL HAPPY MAKER! Just want to tell you I love watching your channel all the way from Victoria Australia You inspire Me as a single Mum of 5! THANKYOU
Beautiful singing, congrats Grace. The kids are great. Prayers
Hi Bri. Haven't been following you for quite a while so was shocked to see what you have been through this last year. Full credit for you for coming out the other end a much stronger person. Do keep giving updates 💞
We love our wireless fence!! The only bad thing is when the power goes off or their battery dies.
Burlap sacks are another great option for keeping the soil moist while you're carrots are germinating.
Great tip!
@@Brifromscratch I picked up a bunch of long narrow strips of burlap at a thrift store a couple years ago. And they've been really helpful for germinating rows my of carrots and parsnips, too.
Great tip! I’m determined to master carrots this year!
Hi Bri,that sounds like one of My Mums meetings.
Bringing to light observations She has made without shaming in front of others,very cool ❤.
JO JO IN VT 💞
What I do to move plants is use a soup spoon or serving spoon to pull both plants out, then separate and then plant where need to plant.
❤Such Awesome news. I will send some prayers. Thank you you so much for sharing this with us.
That's so awesome that your daughter knows how you like your sandwich! Myers husband of 27 years didn't take the time to learn mine! Read your book and enjoy, you so deserve it!
What a beautiful way to address the watering issue with children, well done to you. Those gorgeous toddlers are growing so quickly.
Can you use the issue of having young children out in the garden for a fence?
Everything is looking absolutely stunning❤ what a sweet blessing getting your beautiful garden in, it's gorgeous😊
It does my heart good and increases my faith to see those babies so healthy and beautiful! You have amazing children! I wish that I had just a fraction of their energy. 😁
Instead of the cone of shame, it works to cut a pool noodle. Thread a rag or her collar through it. Effective and more comfortable.
Such a nice surprise to see you at the Mom’s forum at the Farm Where You Live event on Saturday! That made my weekend.
Hope you enjoyed it!
The garden is coming along nicely Bri. Hope your fence gets approved 😊I really like how you handled the watering mistake. 👍🏼And good job Grace !
MY OLDEST GRANDDAUGHTER IS GOING TO HIGH SCHOOL THIS FALL ALSO, SHE IS IN ADVANCED CLASSES AND SHE IS HIGH HONORS,RECEIVED PRINCIPAL AWARD,SO IM VERY PROUD OF HER. SHE SAYS SHE WANTS TO BE Astro physicist
My! What a lovely garden! Many hands make light work and being in the garden with the children is such a valuable time for both parents and kiddos. Blessings Abound.
I'm really counting on you to help me with my garden ❤ thanks!
Bri, you're the best! The way the sun filters through your hat makes you look like you have sparkly freckles!
Bri, The mother you are is beautiful! Such a faithful teacher to your children you are. You put God Jehovah first in all things, and it shows in how you strengthen your own children in your everyday faithful living.
In all things you do, you do it with prayer and guidance. So proud God must be when he sees how you overcome such obstacles, you wholeheartedly surrendered, and now healing is truly obvious. Faith is a beautiful thing, this you are not short of!
Have a beautiful rest of your week…you and the kids!
