Micah is looking so much like Luka now. He has just grown up so quickly, the time has flown 😊
When our kids were little we would have a little house on the prairie night. We cooked outside and only used candles and the fireplace for light. We played games and just spent time with no distractions. We would all sleep in the living room together. They thought it was so much fun. Luka seems so much more comfortable around the camera now. He is just the cutest when he is teasing you.
My kids would LOVE that!
I always enjoy Sarah’s content but as a single older woman who only sees my three grandchildren a couple times a week I especially enjoy the noisey family vlogs. I grew up 7th of 9 kids so to me NOISE is LOVE 💕
I think the chickens will need a heater in their coop …my brother has chickens in ny state and they definitely have a heater
@@daveshoemaker7137 it’s the light that causes them to not lay eggs, winter has very short days. Martha Stewart is the last person I’d look to for farm advice, she has a staff that does everything for her.
Martha can talk about lots of things as she is very smart. I love Martha Stewart...loved it when her mother would come cook with her.
Yep❤
Sarah your doing such a wonderful job in raising your children , your such a good mother 👩 👨🍼 ❤️ ❤ and solo is a good dad , your kids are darling love your show ❤️ 😘
I love how Luka has gotten so comfortable around the camera now. “ Oh, outta 10? A 2 then!!” It made me laugh. You guys are my favorite family on yt and I always look for your videos first ❤
Belle is so generous and kind! The rolls look Amazing!
When your kids grow up the memories they have the size of the house isn’t going to matter it’s the love they were shown that they will remember.
Your 1st winter on a rural property is like disneyland…every day something new and magical ❤❤❤
Sarah, you are all making so many memories in your "little house". Watching the kids roast marshmallows is delightful! You WILL look back at this season and have so many fond memories. There was a country song titled "Love Grows Best in Little Houses" with few walls to separate. I think that's true.
You guys are so wholesome. It does my heart good to see your family enjoying the simple things and just loving each other.
One of our fondest memories when we moved into our new home is cooking hot dogs and marshmallows in the fireplace with grandma and grandpa while the kids were freshly bathed and in their pj's. ❤
Sounds like so much fun!
I love your children's imagination. When I see a messy home, I know how real you are. We've all have been there, done that. I don't have any animals, so I can't relate but I love watching you learn how to care for them. I wish you had smellavision because Belle's cinnamon rolls looked delicious. 😋
Love your channel and this is not a criticism - my friend's child was strangled when her scarf got caught under the wheels of her bike - I'm always nervous now - hope your little ones will be safe in their cold weather fun.
I'm ao sorry. Thank you as I had honestly never ever imagined that could happen. Now that I k ow I will be sure my kids keep scarfs inside jackets.
I was thinking that too.
@@liveyourbestlife143Happened to a famous woman dancer. They made a movie about her life. She wore very long silk scarves .While riding in a car , it wrapped around the axel . A low Bugatti two seat car.
Yes they make scarf that just a circle that goes around the child's neck and so tangling helping
Oh my gosh. That must have been so hard to see your friend go through. I can see why you’d want to share that warning. ❤
Chickens actually handle cold better than extreme heat. We’ve had chickens for years and never heat their coop. A heated waterer is a huge help though.
For me I enjoy watching regular messy days!! Having the RV near you would be good for extra space!! We use to roast marshmallows in our fireplace when I was a child, such fun!!
We have chickens in zone 5 and they do really well in our harsh winters. They will lay eggs in the winter, especially if they have access to outdoors, but they just lay fewer eggs. Good Ventilation, dry bedding, a dust bath in a dry area and an electric waterer will be all they need.
We have chickens in Central Canada with cold winters. They do well here in winter. They do not go outside when it is very cold but we have lights on a timer from 5 a.m. to 7 p.m. They lay decently well this way better then they did in August when it was so hot.
@@rosannasauereisen2827 Good to know!
@@OurTribeofMany That said, my chickens are in a barn not a Coop and it is insulated. I'm not sure if your building is. Though I don't think Nebraska gets nearly as cold as Manitoba, Canada.
It's great how the kids entertain themselves. Its good for them to play outside before bad weather sets in.
So glad the outside doggy is working out! Also just remember they are animals and mainly they need wind break relief , dry living conditions and thawed water. 😉 Maybe a tote in the garage for easy access for clean RV bedding would be a solution so that you could use your fireplace as wanted. There are brands of automatic coop door that you can set a time for it to open instead of day/night auto open/close.... that might be helpful for ducks.
This "regular day" brought me so much joy. Thanks for sharing it with us!
It’s so funny when you call this house “ tiny”, it would be a huge house to most people.
Good job with the birds! I’ve had chickens for years and watching all these people that have jumped into chicken keeping recently is driving me crazy. Heaters?! 🤦🏻♀️ Sooo many people burn down their entire coop and loose all their animals that way. They’re BIRDS lol. We do deep litter method and feed very early in the morning to get their systems warming up, oatmeal and corn work great in the winter! The only thing I’d recommend is a heated water holder to prevent freeze.
I love Seth showing off his "thumbs up" skills ❤ You got it Seth!
We don't use heat or light on our chickens in the winter either. Why we do have some freezing temps, our winters are probably mild compared to Nebraska, but we find that our new layers lay most of the winter if not all. So if they've just started laying, you might get eggs straight through till next fall.
I've learned that it's a good idea to discourage pup from eating the broken or raw eggs as there's less chance he will become an egg eater. Once they discover there something yummy in there they like to break them open and eat them.
Love this video and definitely want to make whatever that is you just made! Yum!
Oh Sarah, you pulled at my heart strings in the last clip. I imagine it’s very hard once your kids start their own lives so I’m glad to cuddle mine while I still can for now. ❤
Its great that the boys are hands-on learning new skills
Hey Sarah, I know this is work but all of you look like you're having a great time on the homestead!!
I enjoy watching all your videos Sarah but these ones at the new home stead are especially nice because I can feel the joy that everyone has in playing and learning to live on the land. Gable is just the cutest dog.
What a wonderful loving fun home to grow up in.
Watching this with my kids today as part of homeschool. My teenager is very interested in homesteading. She has her own chickens she tends too. Even though we don't have snow it is very educational. And we can't get enough of all your animals!!
Wow....I'm honored!!
Destiny with her sweatshirt on backwards 😂😂 LOVE IT!! 😅
Lol, right?😂🥰
Ha....something that regularly happens around here😂
Great to see you and your family settling in to the new property. Your children are so wonderful and imaginative. That last meal you made with the tomato sauce and flatbreads etc looked amazing, can you share the recipe please? Was lovely to see your little ones toasting their marshmallows. Thank you for sharing Sarah xxx
So cute, Destiny's sweater was on backwards, I remember when my daughter's dressed themselves at a young age and things would be backwards, and somehow, sometimes upside down......kids are so much fun!! ❤
I love all your vlogs, thank you for sharing!
Love it when everyone works together!!! The food is always delicious looking!!! Your beautiful tribe of many are very talented and skilled!!! God bless you all abundantly 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Sarah todays vlog is another perfect example of how wonderful your family lives , works & plays together. Idk if you realize how rare & wonderful this is to see. Everyone of your children are just a joyous pleasure to watch & you & solo should be very proud of the family you've created. And I am also thankful for your sharing with us. Much love to each & everyone of you. Ps I miss Judea too!! ❤️❤️
Your channel and family make me smile. As a child in Minnesota we enjoyed the cold. My six children skied, ice skated, etc. fun
Peace is so precious!
We have an omlet automatic door on our coop. It turns a light on inside the coop a bit before the door shuts, and they learned quickly to go in when the light turned on. The first few nights I had to go out and shove in stragglers, but the figured it out. Our first flock used to roost in the trees, but we taught them to come down in the evening with some scratch corn. 😊 Whenever we have lost a chicken it's been to raccoons.
I remember those Nebraska winters but living in Arizona now ...well glad that they are mild out out here as my old bones cannot take that cold anymore...and yet I still miss my old state.
It's good to put some natural branches for them to perch on in the coop. Smaller in diameter to medium. It's easier and healthier for them to grip and the roughness of the branches give them air flow under their feet. As they have demonstrated, they like natural branches -- it's what they use in the wild. The ladder might be difficult for gripping and even painful because they are flat, rectangular with no airflow :)
I love your kids’ imaginations. My kids didn’t have much of an imagination at all and it was so sad to see and hard to raise. Not because of electronics, but just naturally didn’t have one. I love the things your kids come up with to do. ❤
Fantastic channel, so much education for me at age 73. I am enjoying every minute of your beautiful family. Your kids are so sweet, very smart and really are a big help in your large family. Learning so much about Nebraska too and chickens and cows.....love your new dog and your cats too. I grew up with one brother and two sisters on four acres just a town away from where I live now. Never been any further east then Colorado and New Mexico, but love to camp and travel. We were beach kids and thats where we always camped up and down the coast of beautiful California. We were a "surfing" family and truly loved it. My Dad was a door to door milkman for 32 years and we all enjoyed going on the route with him in the summers of the 50 and 60s. Keep up the great work. Love you all from Debbie and Dexter-Dog my sweet tiny rescued Chihuahua companion living a quiet crafty life in southern California.😊😊
This video was so much fun to watch. It brought back many good memories of times spent on my grandparent's farm in WV. I love watching your kids being kids and having so much fun! Gable is a sweet pup. ❤
Thanks for sharing your day! We've watched since you started vlogging, and have enjoyed the wholesome content. Homeschooling mom of 10, ages 4months - 13 in a 1,000sq ft home. Nope, it's never clean or quiet during the day 😂 I just remind myself I'll miss having the mess when and noise when they all move out!
So true!
Sarah you Solo and the big kids need some thermal coveralls. They are a must for winter.
I love seeing Gable. He’s so cute and fuzzy!
It doesn't get any better than this! I miss those times so much all of it! I am the only one left now!. I have my sweet dog and he is the best!
Also- you may want to ask your carpenter friend to build some sort of lean to - to protect your feed buckets from snow and give you protection from the wind this winter. Or build a “tack box” to place the feed buckets and water in to prevent from being xo twitch snow and ice. Just a suggestion
Loved this. Your children are so well behaved and sweet. They are being raised up right. Great job mom and dad.
@ourtribeofmany get a very large container of vaseline. When the temps and wind chill start dropping rub the vaseline all over their combs waddles feet and legs. It will help protect from frostbite and also scaley legs. I use it every year.
Have been watching your channel for years. You and your husband remain humble despite the economy, location changes and dealing with children going off to college. God continue to bless you in all that you do.

I’m waiting for Solo to share his chai recipe again!! I asked on a previous video I think ❤ I LOVE CHAI. Gable is adorable and getting big already😊
Loose tea or tea bags....one third milk.....two thirds water.....cinnamon,ginger,nutmeg(if you like it). Bring to a boil, add sugar and it's Chai Kenyan Style!
@@OurTribeofMany Many Thanks !! I know in one of your earlier videos, or I think that I know, some of Solos family was in visiting or something and he was making a big pot of it. Now that I said that, I hope it was you guys !! Lol.
We lived in our fifth wheel one winter In Wyoming and it wasn’t any problem at all. We used our pipes all winter. Something that helped a lot was adding a skirt or a barrier around the bottom the keeps the wind from going across the bottom
Large plastic totes with lids for the extra RV linens would do the trick! You can even store it on the deck. ❤
Hi Sarah, love watching you and your Beautiful Family, I Always say a MESSY HOUSE IS A HAPPY HOUSE,and love hearing the kids in the Background 🥰🥰🥰🇬🇧
From one farmer to another, if you want your chickens to keep laying, you can get lights on timers that will simulate the sun, and yes, heat lamps help as well. Just a thought😀 Also, I wrote a book about dogs, and if you're interested, I would love to send you a signed copy!! Love your content! hugs from Ontario Canada
How nice.
For the extra bedding…. Amazon has soft sided storage bags that zip close. I use them for my extra beddings for my Airbnb! I put a fabric softener in with them, when being stored!
OMG !!!!!! I was having a spaz attack watching the kids doing their "indoor track" jumping towards the fireplace thinking someone is going to crack their head into the bricks..
No supplemental heat for the birds in the winter!!! I had to chuckle when you mentioned watching the puppy go up the steps. They are so clumsily at that stage :)
Such a fun video to watch! Love watching your kids playing !
Pullets will lay consistently through the winter. We have the same coop door and set timer to timer to ensure they are all in before the door close!
I think they are called pullets before they start to lay eggs and hens after they begin to lay.
Belle is a sweetheart!
😍 Sarah you look like you could be the Big Sister!!! God bless you! This video brought me such joy! Been feeling unwell, your Family always brings me joy! Thank you 💗
We live in Iowa and have had chickens over 10 yrs. We don't use a heat lamp either. They survive just fine. Run around and plays in the snow. We increase their protein in the fall amd winter. It helps with new feather growth and egg production.
Those cinnamon rolls look good.
Micah seems like such a responsible fellow.👍🏽👍🏽
You might consider covering the RV with a tarp, as much as you can without blocking access. We use the reinforced clear plastic tarps around the farm. They also come in dark colors which would protect from sun, but the clear would let light inside.
When our boys were younger, we used to roast marshmallows over a candle 😂
Yes, I missed my sons too when they moved out. I think it seemed worse to me maybe because I had a loss in our little family before that.
Chickens are quite resilient. If it’s below freezing we have put in a heat bulb. We have had waters freeze on us. Then we end up putting buckets of water in the pen.
Y’all are great at taking care of your animals!
Live in the moment, even when the house is small and messy. Those years pass by so quickly! This too shall pass!😊❤
Growing up, my parents and sibs, 13 in number, lived in a 24x16 house, with a small leanto at the end of the house. Some slept in bunk beds. It was very pioneerish.
This was such a fun vlog to watch, love your family! I really wanted to see the coop door close, lol.
Your coop winterization is great! I'm in Montana, and I don't do artificial light, but I do turn the heat lamp on (zip tied so it doesn't fall) if it's below zero. I didn't last year and I lost a few. I feel terrible about it still.
I live 3 1/2 hours north of Lincoln. My chickens (30) will be going through their second winter. I keep 2 heat lamps (hung from the ceiling about 2-3’ off the floor), and heated water bowls. They also have several inches of pine wood chips to nest in, a low roost and a high roost. They stay inside when they choose. Feed them well, and they will be able keep themselves warm.
I live where it gets easily to -35 Celsius with wind chills sometimes in the -50. My chickens did well last winter with just a heated waterer and a light on a timer. I would use extreme caution using heating lamps. They are a fire hazard so I chose not to use one. My barn is insulated thought.
Edited for correction: if their house was insulated I would not have heat lamps, but it is corrugated tin, so I feel it’s needed. I’m sure they are not as hardy as birds who have no heat in the winter.
@@kamidsjournee I was wondering if their building was insulated or not. I would still be concerned about using heat lamps though.
@@rosannasauereisen2827 honestly, I am too, but I’m not sure what else to do. I try to manage dust and anything flammable. And I pray. Yes, I pray for those silly birds. 🥰
You always seemed close family but since moving into the small house you all seem even closer xx
You seem so, so happy Sarah!
You find your birds lay through winter since it’s there first year! Next year they will probably slow way down, that’s why so many add new chicks to the flock every spring so they get eggs every winter ❤️
I live in Southeast Texas and we do not have winters like you do however when it is in the thirties I turn on the heat lamp and my chickens are almost 10 years old and very healthy
We have had property for 5 years and just recently got Guinea’s. They are SO FUN TO WATCH. Not the smartest but we love them and we had fewer stink bugs this year.
I wish I had all that noise in my house! 💖
I would have them jump away from the fireplace in case someone falls forward 😬 coming from a mom from past experience with that
There is no better heat than wood heat! I hope you'll put a woodstove or fireplace in your new house cause you'll love it!! I live in Maine and have always had a woodstove, just make sure you clean or get someone to clean the chimney every year!!!
We bought a house in the country in April of 2022 that came with a woodstove. We love the feeling of wood heat! I don't know if I could go back. Especially living in Central Canada where it gets so cold in winter. I felt cold much of the winter previously.
I can't believe he only gave you a 2 or 3! I love seeing messes...because it feels like our home.
The calm at the end of the day is just the best 😊 i would love to have a real fire! So cozy and comfy
We trick or treated in the snow, and I have come out to an iced over car every day since!! Yay winter 😂😂 Also I love Belle's shirt!!!!!
Cool video! Lots to do on the homestead! I love Micah's mustache!
Hi Sarah, you may want to switch out the metal ladders for wooden ones for the winter. Metal tends to freeze and their feet might freeze when they’re roosting on the metal. But otherwise you are doing incredibly awesome! I live in Northwest Minnesota and my birds never had heat lamps or anything like that and they did just fine. I love watching your joy and excitement with the animals!
Pick up some of the extra large vacuum seal bags for the extra bedding. Those are good for out of season clothes too.
Weve never heated our coop. We just keep the water from freezing with a bucket heater. Chickens are hearty birds. We live where it can get to -30, so very cold. They would probably appreciate some heat but will thrive fine without too.
Also I love your real life vlogs with messy house and all! It's more relatable for me 😊
When I was a kid, 😂 Our guineas roosted in the trees overnight most of the time. They are pretty independent like most birds.
Building a rv shed cover is probably cheaper than paying to store it.
What a great life! Great family! Great Blessings! ❤️🙏🏽
Your property just gets better and better 💙🥰 love watching you always, take care and keep warm. We are starting summer here in Australia 🇦🇺 it’s getting hot
Wish we were starting summer!
Gable is so cute!!
You are truly blessed ❤❤❤❤
Making memories !
Well done Luka! Good job😊
How about making minestrone soup with all those tomatoes? You can add more pasta & and spinach or kale for a filling lunch or dinner with your homemade bread
Absolutely loved this video ❤❤❤
Love you guys!!!
Y’all are the busiest people!! Kiddos, animals , shopping and cooking !! I love it !! 😀😀
What a lovely fall day!
Good morning family ❤❤
Love your family
Fun video thanks for sharing 🙋🏼♀️
The puppy is soooo cute!
really enjoyed this video, thank you
