What a blessing to have all that fresh fruit and vegetables!
Marcie, you are a huge blessing and a wonderful mother. The children have ownership in their garden plots and help prep at the table. Blessings to all of you.
Happy birthday to Tilly! May God grant her many more blessed years.
Hi 🎉 I'm a great grandmother & I just found you & your beautiful family 💖 God bless Happy Birthday Tilly 🎉
You said on the last video that you thought your family was poor I beg to differ poor is a reality but you are so much more you are rich in the blessings of your children in where you find strength to carry on I am inspired by you❤😊
Happy Happy Birthday! Wishing you many blessings! 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼
😅New subscriber. You know when you get goose bumps all over it's the Holy Spirit touching you! God bless you all and many prayers 🙏🏻 Nurse Judi in Scottsdale AZ and Eucharistic Minister 🙏🏻 ☦️ 💙 ❤️
Enjoyed the video. Just seeing how you have taught the children how to manage with a garden planting, weeding, watering, gathering and putting things in the freeze! You are definitely a loving mother!!
To see children play outside reminds me of home. We lived in an old farmhouse with trails and creeks. Such great memories. Loving your videos!
We all did chores growing up, "many hands make light work" and mostly we had lots of fun together. It made us feel like we were capable and we learned skills, patience and perseverance along the way. I trust you will enjoy your time at your Mama's house in California and return home the better for getting together with your extended family. Travel safely! Anne, Australia 🦘
You are an awesome Mom and have wonderful children💖💖💖💕
Happy Birthday Tillie🎂🎂🎂🤗🤗🤗
Thank you so much!
Love your videos! So precious how the children help and get along so well. You are a wonderful mother, teacher, influencer, and a thousand other roles. Many blessings and well wishes! Janice from Arkansas USA
Didnt know you could freeze cucumbers. Learned something new.
Yes! Great for smoothies especially.
Beautiful Kids adorable
Please include a PO Box address so viewers that would like, could send gifts or cards to the family.
And/ or an Amazon wish list!
I'd love it please list if possible.
If she would enable the thanks option on youtube, I'd donate that way or use the cash-ap would be even better because they'd get 100% of those donations whereas youtube keeps like 30%.
I'll bet you have ginseng in those woods and there's really good money to be made from hunting ginseng. Plus most people will let you hunt on their land. It's on hillsides. You can also sell moss. Just Google how to ship it and who buys it but I'd seriously be looking into the ginseng hunting. There's only certain months that your allowed to sell it in and I believe that's from the beginning of August to the end of September but I might be wrong. I do know I have a friend whose husband and son go ginseng hunting and the year before last they sold over $30,000.00 worth and they only hunted in the afternoons and weekends and there's just the 2 of them. My grandmother knew how to find it but I don't. In the early spring you can make money finding/selling Morrell mushroom aka dry land fish. My husband (RIP) use to find that and sell it. I know it grows around Poplar trees. Again, you have to know how to package it. I remember in the early 90s he was shipping it to a New York City restaurant and getting $10.00 per pound. I'm not sure how he found out about that restaurant but my guess is the internet.
@@helenahandbasket3016 my ex-husband used to dig ginseng and there are laws that govern when you are allowed to dig it. I think it has to be a certain size and if you want a good price for what you dig, you need to let it dry really good. You can sell it wet, but it wont be worth much money wet. Also if I remember correctly, it’s best to sell it by the pound and to get a full pound of ginseng is gonna take a while. I think my ex dried his for about 2 months before selling it. I would not recommend anyone depending on ginseng to make much money. In my opinion, it’s a waste of time and also when digging ginseng, you have to be very careful of snakes. God loves you. Jesus loves you and died for you. God bless you always.
What a fun time! Happy Birthday Tilly! So nice all kids have their own garden beds and all contribute to helping! I know kids enjoy seeing what they planted, grow into something they can eat! Love seeing the ducks and chickens! Hope you have a fun and safe trip to your mama’s house and have fun with your siblings! Sorry to hear of your dad passing, may the Lord be with you and your family and all the happy memories bring you peace.
So much good food, lots of work. Hope your flight is great and the family reunion is very memorable😊
I love these kinds of videos. I hope your trip is going well, if you aren’t home yet.
Thank you! Just got home late last night!
I found your channel yesterday and I've been binge watching. Your story and your lifestyle are so inspiring. Please PLEASE create and post an Amazon wish list for your viewers. I don't homeschool so I can't buy your curriculum but I would love to order from a wish list for your family!
Ok, thanks! I started a wish list but can't think of anything to put on it at the moment. We really have all we need. We're pretty simple. There are some things we want but we can work and earn the money for it ourselves. I feel like if we put a "want" on there then people judge us. Like if I were to pick an expensive coat. People think poor people should get an old coat with a broken zipper, not a fancy new coat. But poor people want warm, good quality coats that will last a long time too. So it's hard to make a wish list. Sure my kids want piano music or matching outfits. My boys would love a nice swimsuit. But they have old ones that work just fine. I'd love a real desk, but this old table that I found in a shed when we moved here works just fine.
People don't usually want to buy us nice things or extras like that. They're willing to buy toilet paper or canned soup and that's about all. And that's fine. We have all we need. When my business does better I can get those things.
I'm also hoping to be able to take the kids to historical places like Kitty Hawk, Monticello, Gettysburg, National parks, things like that. I took my older kids but my younger ones weren't born yet. I want them to see these places and gain a love for their country before they're out of the house. I think family car trips are worth the money, even better than stuff. So I wish I could put a hotel stay or ticket to Monticello on the wish list. :)
Thanks for watching my videos! You're so sweet!
Blueberries are looking good. What a lovely gift, time with your family 😊. Hope you have a safe journey and fun time. Val C ❤️🙏🏻
Birthday blessings to Tilly
In regards to gymnastics, if you can find or buy a 4 inch post, you could set low into the grass to practice.
They are 16.5 ft long normally but 8 or 10 ft is usually an option for fencing.
Just take the sander to it and seal.
Yes, we do have a balance beam, I just didn't swing the camera around to show it. It's by the trampoline. Not as good as the one my dad made for me, but it still serves the purpose. I'm sure they'll be doing lots of gymnastics as the Olympics come on!
Rough play is part of growing up. Great video
Hard workers
😅
Where is your blueberry farm? We live in NE TN and would like to pick blueberries on your farm! Love your story:)
It's in Ararat, VA
Do you wash your fruits and vegetables before you squish them and freeze them? I didn't hear you mention that. Good job
I usually rinse off the tomatoes.
I wash the blueberries and blackberries for sure because there are usually little debris in the buckets.
I don't wash the cucumbers, squash, zucchini, or pumpkin. Never really occurred to me.
I must commend you living on $20,000 a year with 10 kids it can't be easy
Thank you so much! Many days the burden feels too great. Especially this past spring as business was extremely slow. But things have picked up this summer so I'm feeling more positive. Hopefully this is the last year that I have to live on $20,000. :) Thank you for your kind words.
The zucchini that is being shredded has magic marker drawn on it. Maybe it should be peeled?
Yeah, probably. Too late now. But if they draw on them again, I'll remember that.
I sent an Amazon gift card via your email. I hope you received.
Yes, I did! Thank you so much. Haven't spent it yet. I will probably buy a birthday present for my daughter's birthday coming up. She's in college and could use more than a hand me down gift. Thank you!
Do you know Jesus is a messenger of God
If your ex-husband is no longer capable of working and could get disability you would recieve money for the children.
