What a lovely follow up! A hive of activity in the kitchen! So lovely to see them working in pairs I love Kaitlyn’s pretty dress! A lovely way to celebrate with homemade treats and home videos 🤗🙏🏻❤️
I was sad when you said the dad hadn’t been in contact with them in a few years. You are doing a fabulous job raising kind thoughtful and gentle children. It must be difficult without family help out.
I recently found your channel and have watched all your videos and marvel at your strength!! You definitely turned lemons into lemonade on Father’s Day!! May God continue to bless you and your beautiful children!! ❤
For me I like the short ten minute videos for the evening and I watch the thirty minute plus ones on Sunday afternoon. Looking forward to a new one soon.
Anything anyone does on the homestead. Planting, harvesting, preserving, garden, and then how you use it, the meals. I've noticed the longer videos get more traffic. Just because you know how to do something, please don't assume others know how. It is especially cool when you can show things your children know how to do. Maybe a day in the life, doing chores and whatnot around the homestead. I will watch any video you put out, but noticed others watch when it 30-45 minutes long. Of course, I have no idea what goes into making those kind of videos. UA-cam is my TV since I cut the cable cord years ago. For me the channels I watch are like mini series. I think you are an amazing woman and mother! You could show the cleaning routine or children doing laundry and I would watch. Daily chores, anything new with any of the animals, children building a fort, doing a skit or play, organization for the large family, anything you do really. Maybe you could edit some parts of home movies or children's reactions to some of the movies. Recipes and cooking meals, especially since you mentioned you make them healthier. Most of us in the world have no clue what healthy meals are...😂. Substitutions for junk food because most of us are addicted to them. You just really seem to have it altogether. You could teach the rest of us so much. I would love to see you with videos and your channel grow!
This is awesome! Thank you so much! I will write all these ideas down. You gave me such valuable input. Madalyn was saying to do very short videos, so I was trying to edit and keep them shorter. But I prefer to do longer ones and be more detailed. Just didn't want to bore people or turn them off if they see the length and don't have time at the end of a busy day. So I'm glad you said that. I do enjoy making longer ones. The only challenge is uploading, but as long as we go to town for internet, it can be done. I first assumed my audience would be other homesteaders so showing how to cook from scratch or eat healthy would be preaching to the choir. So I'm so glad you said that most people do want to know how to eat healthier. Thank you for your kind words and encouragement! No, I don't have it all together but I do want to help others live a simpler life with less stress, more appreciation for blessings and little things, and more joy filled moments. I want so much for people to make a happy life for themselves and love it.
I think keywords in the title of the videos also may have something to do with it. Any farm animal, chicken, duck, and so on, farm, homestead, garden, supper, dinner, or family dinner, teen cooking, or maybe pre-teen if appropriate, You could also do: A day in the life of single mom on a farm/or homestead every week! I will never get tired of watching you and your children! I really pray your channel grows leaps and bounds.
@@christydenney5893 Yeah I gotta figure out the keywords thing. Thanks for saying you'll never get tired of watching us. That is quite the compliment! Wow. Thank you for your prayers. You're so sweet.
I’m so happy I recently found your channel . I love watching your videos. Thank you for sharing your family. I love the cooking videos and working in your garden and every day life videos . Love them all ! Keep them coming.
My daughter and I celebrated Father’s Day by doing a similar activities as you. We celebrated the day as an extra day of love that we had for each other. Usually it included an all day activity most times with our horses and a meal out or a special meal at home then a movie time. You’re doing a great job. That’s all we can do. ❤
So beautiful and courageous, your children and Mom! I love those amazing desserts! Thomas siblings and amazing Mom!❤🙏 God is our faithful Father and spouse...still so painful.
Marcie, This video blesses my heart so much, I just wish they were longer, lol 😅 I love, love seeing how you and your family interact with one another. The word says to judge people by their fruit, sweet friend, your beautiful soul shows through your children, you have awesome fruit! 🍎🍋🍓🍐🍉 Blessings to you and your amazing family!❤
I'm happy to make them longer. :) Not sure if they were boring to people or if they had time for long movies, but I'm happy to try that suggestion. Thank you! Thank you for your sweet and encouraging words.
All those desserts looked absolutely delicious! Great job kids! Looks like a fun Sunday! You all are making the best of Father’s Day without dad! It is him who is really missing out on his beautiful children! They are so lucky to have you for their mama!
I am new here. Your kids are good in the kitchen and that is because of a good mom. Looking forward to getting to know you and your precious children. They are well behaved. YUMMY!!!
Love this and thank u for sharing - u have really inspired me with this series to get my kids involved in the kitchen. We are just sitting down to dinner with delicious potato wedges one of my boys made tonight and he is so proud of himself! 💙
I love your creative family way to celebrate Fathers Day without a father. The bigger kids teaching the younger is a great system. I pray for your family to include the kids’ father. God bless!
I do work. I work all day from the moment I get up until I go to bed at 11pm. My goal is by fall to be able to finish at 10:30 and read for 30 minutes before bed. :) I do lots of jobs to bring in various income and still be able to stay home with my children. Last summer I worked at a bakery but it only paid $9 an hour and my kids suffered from me being gone. So I'm trying to stick to mostly in home or flexible jobs. I baby-sit, run nature camps on my property, write homeschool curriculum, homeschool coach, and have a blog. When I go to town for an activity or appointment I walk a dog and clean houses so I'm not making an extra trip to town. And my kids come help with those too. Next week, for example I'm helping someone pack and move (that pays $20 an hour, so much better than the bakery job) for 3 days, doing a nature camp and babysitting. And any moments I'm home I am writing curriculum to sell on my blog, answering blog emails, homeschool coaching, and working on my YT channel (comments or putting out new videos.) I work till late at night writing the curriculum while it's quiet. My goal is to be able to one day make enough from that and homeschool coaching that I don't have to have so many other odd jobs. We also sell eggs and blueberries from our farm. Kaitlyn babysits and sells stuff she crochets. Thomas does yard work for others and helps me with my business which I pay him for. So we're all working as hard as we can. No, we still can't make ends meet yet and have food stamps to help with food and parents help with the mortgage. And so many nice friends have randomly bought us toilet paper or ziplock bags or shampoo right when we needed it. But every month my business does a tiny bit better so I'm looking forward to the day I can provide for ourselves without any outside help. Do you know anyone who wants homeschool curriculum or coaching? Share my blog with them! I also do any kind of coaching: sleep training, potty-training, meal planning, any mother related topics.
@@lorib4516 You’re good! Lots of people have asked what I do for income or assume I don’t work. Just because I don’t have a full time job in town. I applied to lots and didn’t feel good about them. They don’t pay more than $12 an hour even though I have a degree. I’m having faith that my business will someday do better than that. And will be more fulfilling and bring me joy. I also thought if I worked in town 9-5 I would have to put the kids in public school and we might as well all move to town. But the purpose of moving here was to homeschool, farm, play outside, have animals, etc. So I’m doing everything I can to keep that dream and find jobs I can do on my property like the nature camps while only occasionally going into town to work for others. And hopefully my business gains traction and eventually provide ms for us with enough to share with others how people have shared with me.🤞🙏 Thanks for asking. I appreciate people being interested. And yes I’m exhausted! Every moment even while the kids are showing their art picture I am thinking “this doesn’t earn me money. I need to be earning money.” It’s a constant pressure to use every moment wisely and be doing something- writing curriculum or a new blog post or texting moms about my nature camp-. I have faith it’ll all work out! And the kids are happy in the meantime. They don’t care about being poor.
We have a renter with similar but different circumstances. She said it barely pays to work in the summer or for after school care for her children. She tries to work jobs that allow her to work around the kids schedule or she takes them with her whenever possible. She paints, cleans houses, etc.
Hi Marcie, I am new to your channel. I love your videos, your family is such a blessing. I am wondering about your milk cow, if you know what happened to her. I love raw dairy and hope to have my own cow one day. Do you think you will get another one? Thanks for sharing your farm and family with everyone♥️
She was old and bought at an auction from a dear friend and given to us. She gave us delicious milk and was the sweetest cow ever. But she got old and sick and died. Yes, we'll for sure get another one! I miss the raw milk and yogurt so much! I hope you get one too.
You Mom are amazing✝️
You are such an amazing mother. I have so much respect and love for you. Great job!!
Some of the best memories are made in the kitchen. Your children are awesome. They know exactly what to do. Good job you guys. Super Mom.

Thank you for understanding and validating. And thank you for your kind words. They lift me up.
May God bless you all...❤

Such a wonderful family!!
Perfect ending to an awesome series. Looks like yummy treats were enjoyed by all! 😊❤🙏🏻Val C
So sweet. I'm sure it's challenging to not have contact with father. Been there myself . Hats off to all of you
Still love the idea of the series ❤ thank you all the family team to cook for us 😊
Sending love from 🇨🇦
Love all the baking🎉
The desserts look so delicious. your children are so well mannered and they all work together, helping around the house. God bless you ❤️ 🙏 😂😂❤

@@singlemomonafarmwell you do have plenty of land for horses. They would be a lot of work I know.

Ooh!! I'd love to do that! Thank you! Great idea.
Looks like a really happy family evening. Good job Mom!
