Hey sis. What was the link to the books? I want to get them for a few friends and my nephews as well. I didn’t see them in the description
ALWAYS supporting
Love it!
Good morning! I love your channel and want to share that I’m the youngest of seven sisters. Their bickering demonstrates the communication skills they're developing, especially in a homeschool setting. This is crucial for their growth as they learn to interact. These interactions, whether at home, with friends, or at school, shape their character. My relationship with my oldest sister, despite our 20-year age difference, exemplifies this. Giving siblings space allows them to appreciate each other more; they are truly each other’s best friends. Our respectful disagreements are just our way of sharing perspectives. I cherish the respect we've built. Growing up, my sisters were my closest friends. I was always involved in their lives, admiring them. When I was with peers, my conversations were different because our family's values were more advanced. My confidence in God developed uniquely, sometimes awkwardly. I now realize I was set apart for a reason. It doesn’t make me better, but my core values have allowed me to bring light into dark places, remain humble, learn, and contribute to God’s kingdom. I respect others' perspectives, even when I disagree. My mother often mediated our childhood bickering, teaching us the importance of choosing our battles and how we’d need each other later. She shared scriptures like, "Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good." (Romans 12:9) This helped us learn to honor one another.
Your work is impactful, and God has placed you in this role. Keep Him first; He will guide you. We'll continue praying for you. Your family's values and love shine through. God bless you both! We'll keep watching! Thank you for taking the time to read my comment. You and your husband are doing a great job!
Oh my goodness thank you for sharing!!!! 🙏 May God continue to be with you and bless you!
I used to have a neighbor that did that and I waited until he was out there one time and walked out and said "do you need a bag to pick up after your dog? I know how it is, sometimes I forget mine too". He just froze and gave me a shocked look then he picked it up and from that point forward didn't do it again. Every dog owner knows that they should pick up after their dog. Your neighbor was choosing to act like that wasn't an option because he didn't want to do it and wanted you to feel like the bad guy.

Can you link the Bible that you have?
I'm glad you listened to your husband and didn't go over to the neighbors house and ask her anything. That's something I was taught at a younger age, "don't ever go on the enemy's territory". And Jeremy, you were not wrong by saying something about the situation. People will continue to disrespect you and your property as long as you don't say anything. Hopefully and prayfully 🙏🏽 he will stop letting the dog come and relieve himself on y'all's property. It's a shame you're having to consider getting a fence, because I know you enjoy looking out at the open property as it is. But sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do! ❤
I am a recently retired teacher, something I found that helped kids with counting on to add was to have them touch their forehead with their open palm on their forehead to mimic holding the larger number in their heads and then using their fingers to count on the number being added.
The “Neighbor” story hit home and is one of the reasons I’ve been praying to God for my 100 acre, no neighbor land.😂 I think you all handled the perfectly and they should not allow the dog on your property. I mean really.
Happy Friday family❤. I loved every moment of this vlog, from the aesthetics to Jia taking over the vlog. Sis I’m the same way my 6 and 8 year old are the same and the more I try different things the more they continue to do but but one time I was so overwhelmed but it and the Holy Spirit revealed to me that I was trying to be in control too much of how they are versus how I want them to be and my oldest has always been calm and chill for 15 years and I expected them to be the same once I pray and gave it to God he showed me that I have to learn to parent them differently bc kids are all different so I feel you! It’s funny bc my husband’s and I were just having this discussion about a similar issue and the more you try to stay in a kingdom posture regarding the way you walk and respond to others and always trying to respond out of spirit snd not flesh it’s like your always tried but you both had else it so gracefully and just like God convicted the other neighbor and he apologized for his wrong, it’s a reminder that God is in control and try your best with not sweating it bc we’ve been in the place numerous amounts of times and some days encounters aren’t as easy to walk away from and not respond like you want to as others. I truly enjoy you guys and your beautiful foundation from parenting to marriage ❤. See you guys in the next one.
Thank you for sharing your walk with God and how you're handling your neighbors. God got this. Can't wait to see your garden.
No problem at all. Stay tune ☺️
I had a similar situation with my neighbor's son's dog; I saw online that citrus is a detractor for dogs, so I started putting
old grapefruit rhines near our fence so the dog wouldn't come over to our property to poop, and it worked. My neighbor asked my husband what was the purpose for the grapefruit rhines and he told her; to stop your son's dog from pooping in our yard. Problem solved, for us anyway. BTW, they are nice neighbors too. Hope you can resolve it amicably, but you did absolutely nothing wrong in telling them.
Hi there. I believe you did right by letting your neighbors know that what they were doing was bothering you. It sounds like they just have to get used to the fact that you live there now and their behavior has to adjust. If it were me, I would give them the time and space that they are asking for. You are asking them to respect your boundaries and giving them time and space would be respecting theirs. Conflict is part of life and it seems you are trying your best to make things work. Hopefully things will work out with them like it did with the older neighbor. As for the issue about your kids arguing a lot, I would say to have them be around other kids like on a play date or taking them to indoor play areas or playgrounds frequently to let them burn off some steam might help. Oh by the way, I really appreciate your sharing your Bible study with us.
Good morning, beautiful family. You are definitely not wrong, and I commend you for the way you handled it. Some people deserve that type of approach, and some need to be just told off. The world is so different, and I pray for strength every day. I find myself feeling bad about saying things to people who have done me wrong, and they simply don't care. I had the same situation, and after I was certain, this was a disrespectful act and not accidental. I then had to sternly remind them of boundaries and respect, and nothing less would be tolerated if we had to revisit this topic. In the end, it doesn't matter if you like me as long as you respect me. And grown mature people will do just that. Anyone else is a blatant waste of time. Good luck to you all, and I absolutely love your vlogs ❤ BTW it has never happened again 3 years later !
I love you guys! And I guess I’m talking to myself also, but Jeremy I feel you handled the situation beautifully…. And because now a new situation with another neighbor is maybe just Gods way to see your consistency in moving Christlike even when you may not be the problem or more importantly, your intent in moving Christlike. Is to benefit or because it’s the most upright thing to do, without Question, and thus you move in the manner almost like second nature, accepting of the fact that you can’t change the neighbor, but continually model being a good neighbor 🌹🌹🌹🌹 said in love from one human to the next! Like I said in the beginning, I’m talking to me also!
I always look forward to your vlogs , it’s so wholesome. And I’m sorry to hear about the neighbor saga hope all works out well. Xo from South Africa
Hey Family! You were absolutely correct to inform your neighbor about the dog feces. I had a neighbor who did the same; stated she didn’t have bags. I ran into the house and grabbed a Walmart plastic bag. The other issue I had was having a toddler who rolled into the poop and coming in my house with it on her clothes. That stopped immediately!!!! 😡 😡 😡. Petty ADDENDUM: collect Scotch’s poop and put in there yard!!!😂😂😂😂
Your home is super clean and fresh. Generally, indoor air can be a bit stuffy full of flu bugs; I use an Air purifier and it keeps the air clean of bugs and flu.
Loved this vlog- especially the Saturday morning Bible Study. I've been trying to find the right evenings to do Bible study with my teens. They work part-time so its been hard with the different schedules but we're home on Saturday mornings, so I'm going to follow your lead. 😊 It's so important for us believers to study God's Word with our children and let them see how important Him and His Word is to us and for us. Thanks for sharing yours with us...I don't believe you were wrong letting your neighbor know your boundary concerning your property and their dog pooping wherever he likes. If they were letting him do it because the property was empty for so long doesn't matter-your family lives there now. Hopefully your neighbor will understand your decision and there won't be anymore hard feelings,but if he doesn't so be it. You weren't wrong for bringing it to their attention. It's your property and your investment. Praying God's will be done in that situation and that your family is on the mend health-wise...As far as the girls bickering all the time,I had started having them ask each other for forgiveness and telling each other they love each other followed by hugging when they were younger It put their dufferences in a new perspective for them. It didn't eliminate all bickering bit it made them think twice in the future. The book series you have is a great tool to teach them how to manage their emotions and what God thinks about how we respond to life's ups and downs. I wish I'd had those when my four were your daughter's ages.❤😊
Hi I hope everyone is healed very soon. 😊 Also, glad to see someone who can actually afford eggs. I just can’t take out the loan to buy them right now.😂
"Fences make the best neighbors" That is if they continue to let the dog use your yard as a toilet.
You guys handled the dog situation well. It’s sad that certain people feel so offended when you tell them no. They feel like they’re entitled to any and everything. Even if it’s other people’s property
You both called the neighbors out on their 💩 and they got mad. They seem like gas lighting narcissist. Talking about how “they’ve been doing it” and now they “ need space”. Oh please !!! You two have been more than kind. Get a fence and hopefully they’ll learn how to respect boundaries at some point.
You shouldn’t even have to explain that to them…even if you all didn’t plan on getting things cleaned up or not, that doesn’t make it right for his dog to crap on your property, clean or not clean, it’s your property. It sounds like they are intentionally being covertly disrespectful. They’ve been friendly but on the inside they are haters. Smh.
That was supposed to say “intentionally “ just edited it
I believe it’s intentional. They ain’t right, and his reaction proved they ain’t right. They have no humility!
You are not wrong, I live in the city and a neighbor lets his dog do that in our yard. I told him that he wasn’t being very neighborly.
The more you get into the word of God the more your faith will be tested. Continue to let God guide you in how to handle your neighbors, you will prevail. Oh and yes, it would bother me. I’m the nice guy in the family, my husband, not so much!
In dealing with the same situation, I’m the only person on my street that doesn’t have a dog and everybody lets their dog roam around and they come in my yard and poop and pee, I don’t want to be the grumpy neighbor but I don’t know how to address the situation because for one I’m in what we consider the hood and my neighbor across from me are new and they seem kind of gangsterish so I don’t want to get killed 😂so I just pray for God to help me in this situation, I have to do a lot of praying in my neck of the woods
Where did you get the beautiful pink flowers in your kitchen can you share the link
I bought those at tjmaxx. Unfortunately I don't have a link for them. I'm so sorry.
It's called entitlement ! Ive been around here long before you , and you already corrected me about the property line , now you are trying to tell me something that... I know better than. You young bucks ! new neighbors !! I think you did a great job .lol
What was the link for the book and what's your sister's channel
My Pastor use to make his 3 kids sit together on the “Loveseat” until they could get along😂😂😂
I tune in every Friday because you guys are amazing. 🤎🤎🤎
Thank you! We really appreciate the love
Consider fencing your property, that would help with the deer issue as well❤
We definitely want one. I’m not ready to see the price of a fence around 2 acres 🫣
Fences make good neighbors
So sorry you are dealing with disrespect from neighbors.
I think a fence is a great idea. Good fences make good neighbors.
First I want to say Jia is ready for her vlog ..lol.. and no I agree no one wants to walk on a property and have to watch out for poop all over the place so yeah you guys should feel how you feel about that.. love you guys ❤
Blessings from Medina Ohio❤
Hi yall! It's sounds like you handled yourself well. I don't think it was you or your delivery. Maybe he was just having a bad day. Give it time and space. It may smooth over in time when he has time to think.
And this is why people stay away from neighbors 😂😂😂
So their property stays nice and poop free. That’s funny.
I woulda “coincidentally” went outside and started small talk with her every time I saw her taking her dog outside to do its thing.
Y’all did a great job lay low for now and see what happens next 👍🏾with the dog 🐕
Can I ask, how did you guys find your home being so far away?
We chose a state we wanted to move to then looked at listings. We flew out and toured different areas to get a sense of where wanted to live. We received an offer on our house but didn’t have a home to buy so we prayed on it. That same week our house popped up and it checked all of our boxes. We contacted listing agent and had a video tour. We liked it and put in a no money offer that allowed us to withdrawal our offer without losing an earnest deposit. We flew out during escrow to tour and have inspections done and a few weeks later we closed escrowed and moved in.

I truly enjoy and love your family interactions. However, the interactions with your neighbor were the best way I would have approached them. I agree with your husband about not saying anything to the wife, which would have made the situation way worse. This story is called "When Neighbors Feel Entitled." Do not question yourselves; know that you are very much valid.
When it comes to the neighbor asking where the dog could poop, how about his yard or when he was saying he's been using that spot for five years, that's fine, keep doing that, just pick it up. They have options.
First let me say, I love your vlogs and look forward to all of your postings. You are a sweet family and I enjoy watching you transform your home.
I love the snippets you share about your faith and commitment to the Lord. As a fellow believer and mature ( old enough to be your parent) sister in Christ let me offer this challenge.
Yes, you were right in what you felt. Jeremy handled it well. However, I’m going to challenge you with the harder task. First, read Romans 12. Focus in on Rom. 12:18 . Begin to earnestly and sincerely pray for your neighbors… both sets. It’s hard to hold angst toward someone who you are earnestly praying for. Trust God to do the rest because only He can change the heart. Begin to budget and save for the fence.
What I’m suggesting is not the easiest thing to do, but at the end of the day, we are image bearing Christ followers and want to do that which makes Him look good. I will be praying as well.
Hey 👋🏾 guys great video congrats 🎊🎉🎈 to Gia for being a big girl going to the potty 👏🏽👏🏽It would have done exactly what you done and I would’ve felt the same way so you was within your right to do and feel the way you did
Hello
I’m going to be nice and not say what I really want to say but I would have addressed it as well. I own 2 dogs and I hate cleaning their poop up let alone behind other people’s dogs. How are you mad when you’re not cleaning up behind your pet.???? Some nerve getting mad and acting out like a child. Jeremy handled it well. Glad you made peace with the first neighbor and prayerfully it doesn’t take long for the other neighbor to get over it. ❤
When some people value dogs over the comfort and well being of humans, it says a lot about them, thats all I gotta say. Sorry that you all had to deal with that and please know that you did nothing wrong. I am disgusted that they had a list of reasons why they should be allowed to continue disrespecting your property. Do they not know poop smells, brings flies and the girls can step on it.
Romans 12:20
"If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink. For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head" if he need time give it to him. Don’t count the days. People think just because they do things for you , they think you not suppose to correct them. He may be one of them. Also
Proverbs 25:22
"In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head, and the LORD will reward you"
Just know you addressed it. Now let God do the rest. Sometimes one do needs to process it all. I am sure he will get over it soon. He may not be grown enough in the word of God as you are to let it go yet. Some time men don’t appreciate another man speaking and telling his wife what to do. That probably helped him be pissed off because he didn’t protect her. So give a little grace and he will be back. You all did right. I am not saying you didn’t . Just let it be for a wait. Still wave when you see them that will completely the process and let them know you all are still okay . When one grow in the word there will always be another test. God bless.❤
I would be happy that’s he’s cleaning it up! Isn’t that what he should be doing? That’s their dog’s poop…I thought that was the point, I’m a little confused 😅
The point is, moving forward stay off of my property. They don’t have to worry about picking up anything when they just stay on their land, which they have more than us. Simple. And he made it very clear of our property lines when we first moved here, which we respect and abide by. His thing was the dog has been doing it for years, how is suppose to stop it. Well there’s leashes, dog collars, electronic fences, obedience training, etc
He needed to clean it up all along
I'm sorry, you didn't have to do what you did. He should have said thank you for being honest and letting me know. He comes off as very inconsiderate and privileged. He didn't think he needed to respect your space and felt he should be able to do what he wanted. He lacked respect for your space and boundaries. To have a problem with you asking for respect and him having an attitude about that, says he never really respected y'all from day one. From how he responded gives me he feels you didn't stay in your place he felt you belong on. Like, how dare you question me and what I am use to doing for 5 years with my dog. Like, sir...WHAT?? The dog should be trained to not go on other peoples lawns/properties. I had this problem too when we purchased our house in GA. Our neighbor didn't have a fence and our property didn't either. They have 3 dogs, 2 being horses they are trying to pass off as roc's. Yeah, they are huge dogs. These dogs were coming onto our property at any time of day and night. We don't live there yet, so we only saw this from our cameras. He explained to us that they are use to doing that because of the people who owned the property before us. He stated that the dogs would come over and play with the prior owners children. Excuse me? That sounds personal. My husband didn't want me to say anything and I didn't (reluctantly ... I wanted to give him my true thoughts). That was 2022. We purchased a fence that year and it is NOT better. UGH!!!
I would have said something, also. No one wants someone elses animal doo dooing on their property. Just because you been doing it for 5 yrs its not right to think its alright on a new neighbors land. Its nasty, thats why they have leash laws to make owners accountable for the animals they own, and pick it up.
I think putting fences up would be the best solution. It’s disrespectful that your neighbors are acting that way.. honestly it sounds like you have older privileged people as neighbors. I also live in Columbus I swear a lot of people in my area refuse to pick up after their animals.
"Hey Family," you have every right to speak-up about your property. I do not feel like you are in the wrong! I do feel like your neighbor is being standoffish when it comes to your concerns. Have ya'll thought about putting-up a fence?
You guys are great. I'm just wondering what's wrong with their property. Why can't the dog use it.
Yup, call it what it is…disrespect! Neighbors are a test! People know better and choose to act the fool. Prayers for you and your family 🙏🏾 OH is an education for real 😳
Sweetie, this old lady wants to apologize to you and your wife for the ignorance of your neighbor. Can you and your wife fence in your property?
aww that’s so sweet of you ❤️. We definitely plan on it. We have to see how much it will cost to fence 2 acres
Hey guys i think you had every right to request your property not be pooped on honestly i wish you had said something a long time ago. Your neighbor had no problem telling you to not cross the property line so its so nonsensical that he would not respect the property line as christians we should show love but we are not required to be doormats. Jeremey went above and beyond to try and reason and be peaceful but this wasn't something you needed to plead about yes he shouuld have picked up his dogs poop and i wouldnt have tried so hard to make him feel ok a one liner of no hard feeling and done you cant make a wrong feel right and he was upset because he was wrong
Now if the shoe was on the other foot. Would he like it if yall let yall dog do the same on their property... doubt it. smh . Yall are not wrong for being upset b/c I would be upset too!
He wasn't ready for the conversation Just because you Just wanted talk Just to share how you feel or explain
She the wife made it bad when she told him and it put him in a bad situation However you guys are expecting to much from people You guys are taking it personal that he was shamed and pissed with his wife You guys seem to want them to be joyful
....to put fear in him then what?
You been in Ohio to long "Colored Girls" Really
They are narcissist, look it up. They trying to make you feel bad for making the request. They will not change because that who they are. You are not wrong, if you did it on their property my God. Only one❤ thing may help is the fence. Praying for your family.
Man oh man!!! Look stop trying to figure out simple country ppl. You’ll go crazy. We moved to the rural ozark mountains from New Orleans…. Man oh man true country folks especially the older ones. I’m not as nice as y’all, and I’ve made that clear, but we are more spread out, so there’s no reason for anyone to be on our hobby farm., but the friends we made here and all from different cities in the USA. They also feel they same way, find y’all some city folk’s turn county folks.
🤔Jeremy did right by addressing the issue, and Shaunice you did right by 🤐🫣, I had the same issue, so unfortunately, we had to solve it by planting arborvitae trees, which worked out! Trees grow fast, and all is secluded! Just give that Neighbor to God to handle! 😉👍
