When I was homeschooling my kids…one of my daughter’s classes was being in the kitchen with me as I cooked to learn, then she moved onto baking and then making a full meal a week. She is a wonderful cook for her family now. 💕
Please do another Q & A while you are just going about your day. Did your inlaws live in the farmhouse until you and Josh moved in? What do they think of all the updates and changes you have made? Can you share how you budget, is farming income inconsistent or fairly predictable? I love all your content🥧🚜🐄💐
It’s amazing to me that you host as much as you do being a busy farm wife and mom of four, also homeschooling and doing UA-cam as well. Please take care of yourself, you really can say no if you need to!
First video of yours watched and I’m a new subscriber! Loved this real life video-I’m a mum to five girl from Scotland living in NC. I homeschool as well and enjoy cooking and baking for my family. Your video was so relatable and I’m hooked❤
Yes, we enjoyed it. Beautiful flowers, the ones you cut looked like they would have made a bouquet but pruning is a part of the process. I admire your farm life. Take care and have a great week!
I feel happy when I get a notification that you have uploaded a new video 🥰😘😍. Thank you very much for uploading the video. Your videos fill me with so much positive energy 🍓♥️🥰😍😍🍓♥️🍓🥰🥰
Busy busy! I love cleaning most things with Vinegar. I started adding the super washing soda to my laundry and it helped a lot too. We have hard water and nothing else really seemed to work as well.
We’re hosting a lot of company this week. I’ve been cleaning and baking. Our Fall project, yes Fall temperatures arrived today in the Arizona desert, is tackling some planting of xeriscape friendly plants in the backyard that will welcome butterflies and hummingbirds. I’m enjoying your videos. Thank you. You have such a sweet spirit.
Was so excited when I saw a new video pop up, love day in a life , baking, love your beautiful flowers. What are the flowers called! Beautiful colors, would love to see your thriftying videos and what you got and for how much? Love your sweater you where wearing, your kids are so sweet. God bless your family. Can't wait to see the new look of the improvement in front of your kitchen.
That’s funny, you are harvesting your crop today as I watch this video and we have got the tractor here today plowing the dirt in preparation for our maize to be planted. I live on a dairy farm in New Zealand . Opposite seasons 😂🌏 Love watching your videos and I love your style. Hope the week’s craziness settles down🧡🌻
We are redoing our guest room. We just pulled out all the carpet and padding and all the shelving. It is now ready for a fresh coat of paint, and then the wood floors refinished.
Steph, you asked us what we do for meals when we have a busy week. I like sheet pan meals and crockpot meals. With planning everything can be put in the crockpot early in the morning and you day is free to get those much needed jobs done. You are amazing in all you get done.
Working on our just married grand daughters shower. Love love your channel and the kids. What can I say you are so down to earth and I just love your purity and honesty
I love your outfit! I'm Canadian too . Happy Canadian Thanksgiving 🍁Can you do a video about homeschooling sometime? I'm a homeschool mom too I find it hard to get everything done each day. I don't know how you do it all. A yummy fall one pot soup I like is hamburger soup, check out the pioneer women's recipe. It has so many veggies in it, I add barely to mine instead of potatoes.
Hello again from Pennsylvania! Hope you and your family are well. I saw in your vlog that your daughter loves cooking and baking. I did at her age as well and it is still a passion of mine. One thing that I remember making at a very young age was trail mix. A wonderful mix of dried fruits, nuts, m and m candies, and cereals. The little ones could definitely help make it and it stores very well in the snack size zip lock bags. Always there for a quick treat! God bless and have a wonderful week.
When I am busy I try to cook one pot dishes as well. I cook different kinds of soup, vegetable soup ( borshch as well, my family loves it, I just cook it a bit differently. I got the recipe from Tatyana’s every day food on UA-cam) . I also braise potatoes or cabbage with vegetables and meat… also my family love slow cooked pork ribs, which takes only few minutes to put together ( I rub ribs with olive oil, paprika, salt and pepper . I put few table spoons of water mixed with heavy cream on the bottom of the slow cooker & cook for few hours until it’s slightly crispy on top. You can add some barbecue sauce as well…) That’s my ideas for busy days 😊
My 4 year old son loved seeing the combine chopping corn! 😊 Can't wait to try the muffin recipe. Just curious, do you buy maple syrup in bulk? It's pricey in the grocery store, but we do love it!
It's okay to not be busy. I raised five children and homeschooled. A slower paced life eases everyones schedule and brings peace. I wished we had adopted a slower life, which I am now implementing and encouraging my grown children to also do as they are now starting to have families. You have a beautiful family and are a lovely woman, may God bless you as you raise your children to follow Jesus.
I like the kissing window. I am making Ginger snap cookies. My husband us from eastern PA and there are ginger snap cookies he loves that cone in an irange and black box, but he thinks mine are very comparable if not better. Anyway that us my project alongxwuth laundry. That's what's happening in our neck if the woods..... central IL! My dahlias are still blooming here. Can they take some frost?. This is only my 2nd year growing!
It appeared in the video that you crumble muffins into a bowl and add milk. I’ve often had a glass of milk with a muffin, but it never occurred to me to combine the two in a bowl. Did I see correctly? I might try it some time. Also, your flower garden is stunning!
I love how you get your kids involved in the kitchen. Also, Amway laundry detergent is what works really well for me. It has a lot cleaner ingredients than some. I can give you my friends phone number who sells it and she would most likely deliver to your door.
I put the baking soda directly in the drum with the laundry and detergent. The vinegar I put where the softener goes. I have a top loading washing machine though so not sure if it would be different?

Thank you, Michelle 💗 I’ll have to keep that in mind!

That’s incredible! I love learning more about natural cleaning products vs all the chemical filled ones! 😅

We are redoing our guest room. We just pulled out all the carpet and padding and all the shelving. It is now ready for a fresh coat of paint, and then the wood floors refinished.
A lovely glimpse into your life. You live in a beautiful part of the country. Thanks. 🤗
Catching up on laundry and cleaning!

I have enjoyed discovering your channel and am watching this video while doing my own dishes.
Aww thank you so much, Elizabeth 💗
Working on our just married grand daughters shower. Love love your channel and the kids. What can I say you are so down to earth and I just love your purity and honesty
Enjoyed the video, you are truly a Proverbs 31 woman, consider using clear panels for the new sunporch roof, like a Florida room
You are so kind, Lydiann 💗 thank you!
Is the string around the dahlias to keep deer out or to support the dahlias? Looks brilliant either way!! ❤
Wow! I’m always blown away you have a wonderfully beautiful home and family! Praise the Lord
Sometimes you just have to lick the spoon! 😂❤
My mom made corn dolls when she was young and we made some too but not as much. My kids now think it’s creepy. 😂 they are teens.
Love it so much! You are definetly my favourite UA-camr🤍

So great to watch! You are awesome, your kiddos are lucky to have you! ❤️ Love the idea of cooking for school.
Some of our favorite "one pot meals" (or two pots sometimes lol!) are turkey chili, taco soup, and baked ziti!

The sun itself is a very good stain remover . If you can line dry 😊
Yes!!!! Loooove hanging things in the sun ☀️
I use vinegar/baking soda too.☺️ It does work wonders.✨Loved the vlog, Steph!🍂☺️
I got tested for mold a couple years ago. It’s so bad for a body.😞
That’s wonderful 💗 and I’m sorry you’ve also dealt with mold 😔 that’s so hard!
Such a familiar site of the corn combine harvesting. I am a city born and bred girl loving life up here in rural Lebanon County PA ❤️ 🌽
Loved every second of this❣️. God bless you and your sweet family❣️
watching you cut those beautiful blooms and dropping them on the ground literally gave me anxiety. LOL
I absolutely love your videos!
Thank you really cheered my mom an I up watching your video very inspiring we are going to make the muffins an some cookies
Thank you, Donna 💗 I hope you enjoy the muffins!
We love the muffins ❤

Today is Wednesday so it’s date night tonight and I’m just doing chores around the house 😂maybe a workout but we’ll see
We love chili..and chicken tortilla soup. I love beef stew..would like a good thick insta pot recipe.
Our favorite one pot meal is cheesy chicken w/broccoli and rice 😊
Cleared the loft what you would call attic everything left is being organised and labelled 😊
Wow that’s amazing, Lucy 💗
Love this! Where did you get your kids stool in the kitchen?
I like the kissing window.
I am making Ginger snap cookies. My husband us from eastern PA and there are ginger snap cookies he loves that cone in an irange and black box, but he thinks mine are very comparable if not better.

My dahlias are still blooming here. Can they take some frost?. This is only my 2nd year growing!
Aww that’s so sweet of you to make cookies for your husband 💗 dahlias do not tolerate frost, sadly!
I need to proof read! sorry!

You do have a lot of people & work going on! Busy, busy!
It is! Ready to slow down a little, but trying to embrace this season too 😊
Muffins look delicious. Blessings
Do u use straight vinegar to wash windows, looked really brown
I am on vacay and my project is to draw my childhood home the way it was in 1970. My childhood home is probably 200 years old.
Wow, that sounds amazing!!!
Can you share the link to your pants?🥰
So when you add the vinegar & baking soda where do you add it & when? I have a front loader
I put the baking soda directly in the drum with the laundry and detergent. The vinegar I put where the softener goes. I have a top loading washing machine though so not sure if it would be different?
You look good in that outfit. With schooling taken care hubby being house wife and having a spotless house how do you do it
Do you keep your own chickens?
Love those beautiful flowers , could tell me what they're called ? 💐
Thank you, Judy 💗 they’re dahlias 😊
Oh my goodness take care of yourself because if you don’t it ends up with collapse 🤔 and then your be forced to say no x
That’s right! 😅
decluttering...again 😆
Oh no I understand you were dead heading the flowers but they still looked beautiful why didn’t you bless your home with them ????? 😢
Where did you get the curtains in your dinning area?
I believe I got them from Amazon and then bleached them (they were more of a beige color).
Do you have a boy where is he the girls are beautiful
What kind of machine was that your husband was driving, was it a sprayer of pesticides? If so, maybe that’s why you were not feeling well? 🙏🩷🌻
