Bri. Thank you for sharing your life’s journey. It is great to see you succeeding in your recovery from a difficult situation. None of us can do it alone. You are an inspiration to others. Praying for you and your family, extended family, friends, community.
I so enjoyed seeing your gorgeous neighborhood on your morning walk. What I love is you are real. The piles of laundry on the table and the kids running around is so refreshing. It is nice you had a visit from Grandma. Sure hope your friends and family can spend time with the children so you can get an occasional rest to do nothing or go somewhere you like. It is so nice that your older children can help mind the babies even for a few minutes. You seem to have settled in and are adjusting to your new home, which by the way is beautiful!
I cannot believe how great your garden looks. Success!!!!! Your climate and soil must be good. That bank is going to be fantastic when it gets established.
My baby girl(14 months now) would constantly spit up on my breastmilk. No matter how bland my diet was, she would just spit up. We tried raw milk and still, spit up. Definitely diary sensative. 9 months old, our neighbor brought over goats milk and we started giving her that and no more spitting up. By 10 months old she just didn't want to nurse anymore and just wanted the goats milk. I was sad, because i normally breastfeed for 2 years, but decided it was best for her tummy to just give her the goats milk. She still loves it, wants it all the time.
Freeze dry your eggs then grind to powder. Your garlic, your herbs. Your fruit like berries, apples, tomatoes, your soup, your ice cream sandwiches, your homemade broth then powder and place in mylar bags with oxygen absorbers. Freeze your broth in cubes first makes it so so easy. Your cooked meat. Your cooked beef stew. Your onions!!!!
This literally made me tear up. That's the neighbor I aspire to be. I'm so happy y'all found a solution ❤
Posterior tongue tie sounds like the culprit
Hi bri I'm praying for you and your family including Arthur every day❤
You're the most amazing women ever!!!!!!!!
Please take time for yourself and take care of yourself so you can be there for your children but my heart aches for art also , how is he coming along?? Hoping and praying that someday soon you will all be United like a beautiful family that you are. With all my Love to you all marilyn w
@@marilynwaldner6224 I think BRI is amazing I also pray Art is ok
I Hope you plant the foxgloves somewhere out of the reach of the toddlers.
I love foxgloves, but since they are extremely poisonous .
I’ve been too scared to plant any in my garden😢
I think I will try and grow some from seed next year and have some glorious flowers for ( hopefully) quite a few years , until I get grandchildren😅
The clover like plant with the yellow flowers and tart flavor is wood sorrel
Bri, you sound so UP in this video. Love it. God bless.
Oh my goodness, we like the quiet because we're old lol. Probably my favorite part of the whole video
Wow what a beautiful place to raise your beautiful family! 🥰
The mountain laurel is just exquisite. That looks like bamboo what you called cane and it is a pest and difficult to get rid of
It looks like bamboo but I am pretty sure it is river cane. I was at the river yesterday and there it was. And yes, definitely a pain!
@@Brifromscratch It looks like either cane or bamboo. In either case, the best way to get rid of it, is to let all of the energy go to the leaves from the roots, and then cut it down as far as you can. Doing this multiple times, will eventually deplete the energy from the roots.
@@Brifromscratchif it's bamboo I read few years ago the tender shoots are good to eat,use in cooking.
Hi Bri you are a wonderful mom. May Hod bless you and your family. Praying for Art believing that God will heal his mind ❤
I think that the freeze dryer works best when you but all one type of food. Like all berries or all gummy bears but I am sure you will figure it out with time
You know I'm sure that foxglove is highly poisonous. Digitalis, & if the children have no fear of eating plants, please WATCH OUT!❤❤
I accidentally discovered a deer repellent last year. I normally make my own fertilizer for my veg garden, and the day I went to pick up the ingredients there was no canola meal ( nitrogen source) so instead I used blood meal as it is 4 times stronger than canola. I never saw a deer in my yard until August, they never touched the flowers or any veg. Potatoes really like blood meal you could top dress with it.
Daughters who’s on their way to grow up is such a blessing to us moms.
Grace is such a sweet caring daughter, just like mine is.
I feel so blessed as I’m sure you also do🥰🥰🥰🥰
So proud of you and the joy you bring to life, even though your life has been tough. Have to admit, it makes me sad that Arthur is missing out on your wonderful life.
Bri do a check upon foxglove. I think my neighbor pulled it out saying it was poisonous & said her little ones liked to sample everything in the yard & she didn’t want them to get poisoned.
YOUR OLDEST DTR IS SO BEAUTIFUL! I MISS SEEING HER BEAUTY MARK. WHAT A DOLL SHE IS! SHE WAS. ALWAYS. THE ONE IN THE KITCHEN COOKING FOR YOU ALL. EVEN IN THAT RV'S TIGHT QUARTERS. SHE WAS ALWAYS IN THERE. I MISS HER MORE IN YOUR VIDS!! PLEASE TELL HER THAT WE APPRECIATE HER & MISS HER. NURSE JUDI IN SCOTTSDALE AZ AND EUCHARISTIC MINISTER PRAYERS FOR ALL OF YOU.
The Elderberry has over 100 vitamins an nutritional,all by its self.
Wow the Mtn lorell is sooo beautiful!
Make sure you put the mints in a separate closed garden away from everything else, because they are so invasive!
With your joy and love for gardening,since I have been going through a similar situation,you have inspired me to start my garden again. It’s been 2 years since I did anything with it,but now I’m excited to do it this year! Thank you so much for helping me! ❤❤
Bet putting all the same things that are all the same size, makes timing for the freeze drying less of a challenge ❤❤
Good advice!
Candy does not really freeze dry it is heated during a vacuum process so putting candy separate with the drying temp at 150 is the best.
Hi Bri, your videos are such a gift to me! I know everyone says that but it’s so true! It’s a comfort to see gentle parenting and raising children who love the earth. I’m so proud of you for carrying on your lives in a way that keeps it peaceful for your kids. I’ve been there and I didn’t do it as gracefully as you. Watching you makes me wish I could rewind and do a better job. So, thank you, for so many things. 💕
SoilSista freeze drying is a total game changer! We love drying our tropical fruit we grow. There is a candy mode which help the candy better. Skittles and nerds gummy clusters are amazing. Pineapple and banana though, OMG!! Delicious... Ha! I even freeze dry collards and powder them to sprinkle on everything. Lol! Eggs and milk are awesome also. As you can see we freeze dry everything 🤣🤣
I really like your place, nice house- roomy, big yard! You are so knowledgeable on plants, and gardening. And your patience with the kids!! It can’t be easy with s many responsibilities! You’re doing great- blessings from above❤prayers!
I just want to praise you for all you do u are a real inspiration for all women ❤
I think that's mountain laurel? We lived near Brevard for a number of years, and rhododendron and mountain laurel both grew everywhere in the woods. It's been years since I've seen it. It's so fun to see you smiling and happy, Bri! Plants make you so happy :) Now I want to smell some of that Tulsi Basil (or however you spell it).
Bri I love your plants , girls your such blessing to mom your such sweetheart 💗 girls , miss seeing Art maybe one day will see him . Love your Family.
I think that one plant (the one you said was a landscaping thing) is creeping juniper. They use it for ground cover here.
What a lovely walk that seemed to have been! Nice stretches afterwards. Oh man I want to be able to stretch like that again after I have this baby in a few weeks (and to walk like normal again too).
Grace is a good kiddo to help out so much and cook for you. That is beautiful.
Having a plant lady seems like a fun thing to have. Your basil looks so nice. Your plants are all so nice!!!! I liked learning about acclimating plants to the sun. I tend to let things sit in the sun for a while before planting them anyway, but didn't know that was an actual good thing to do.
Hey! You're not old! It will be interesting to see you at 70 doing videos and then saying, "Remember when I was way younger and thought I was old?"
Bri, the "sour" grass with the yellow flowers is wood sorrel. 😉
Thank you! It was so familiar to me but could not remember!
That tart sorrel makes great "lemonade". Everything's looking amazing!
Hi Bri love the video. Please just be careful of the mountain laurel all parts are extremely toxic to humans and animals
The long leafed plant kinda looks like bamboo?
That’s what I thought, very invasive
I think the plant you said you have a feeling is impossible to get rid of is bamboo of some sort. Love the videos!
You are an artist with plants. Please consider planting Lady's Mantle to hold your bank in place, which are grown for their leaves. They are exquisite in the morning when the dew is on their leaves. Also, they are easily divided.
Why haven't you planted your Tomatoes yet an all summer plants.Make sure you plant a elderberry bush.Make sure it's the American type.
How cool that your friends come over to garden 💗
I just purchased so unusual herbs, Cola Herb (Smells delicious) and also Mushroom Herb apparently tastes like mushrooms, and Pineapple sage delicious. Your plants look amazing love perennials.
It's good to see grandma! She's an amazing woman.
You have deer that close and they haven’t found your garden! You need a fence bad!
as a gardener and mum please be care with foxgloves they are highly toxic to children and animals. but the salvia's are my fav!! my one is called "hot lips" and they come up so beautiful every year! well done Bri and fam. garden looking wonderful
Looks like paradise ! 🙏
The children are just adorable, precious 💞! So sweet,smart, helpful!! The young man explaining the smoothie,i just wanted to hug him!! It is beautiful where you live,i would love it!! The old home place too!! I love that you can grow anything,and mild winters.
I think it's a dwarf juniper.
Looking so good. Great to see all of the smiles!
You are making your yard a thing of beauty . 😍
Do you eat the nasturtium flowers? They are delicious. Peppery. Pretty and yummy in salads.
Mountain Laurel is our state flower. They are so beautiful. ❤
The deer were soooo cool
Good morning cute and adorable sisters 🐶😼😂 I hope all of you are always healthy 💟💟
I believe your unidentified plants are Juniper (great for erosion prevention) and a bamboo
... Blue Rug Juniper ... great erosion control and a nice addition to any garden space ...
You do so much love what you all got done today!
That plant looks like bamboo, it spreads very quickly and can grow through concrete, hope I am wrong.
❤ I SO ENJOY YOUR VIDEOS....THANKS FOR SHARING....BY THE WAY, YOU ARE GLOWING....GOD BLESS !! ❤
I want a freeze dryer so bad! 😊
Medicinal plant.dont throw it away.Called Ramps
You should dig out the center of the stump and plant something beautiful! ❤
please be careful with foxglove it is toxic.
The more videos I watch the more I understand your home and property. You are so incredibly blessed! That wide cement walkway to your backyard is amazing and going to be very useful with your children. It looks like you might have an acre yard. I’m so happy for your blessings! 💗
Kalmia latifolia! Mountain Laurel. Such a beautiful plant…Love your videos!
I was on goat's milk from birth, dairy allergies and in 1960 all formula was cow's milk based. These days I have soy milk, but use goat's milk soap as I'm also allergic to petrochemicals.
Guarding is so good for your soul and I love that you were teaching your children, Bri, To enjoy the garden life… The reading process the cultivating process, the “hardening” of the plant BEFORE actual planting (I am willing to bet that 40 to 50% of the people we’re not even aware that that was important to do and if they stick their plants right in the ground upon purchase), so I hope they understood the importance of acclimating the plants to sunshine.
I had a dehydrator when my children were young and it was a wonderful way to preserve healthy food as well as provide wonderful snacks however, one day someone that they really like came into our home and made fun of the hydrated food and they would no longer eat any of it. You are doing SO MANY THINGS RIGHT, BRI.. letting the children have hands-on and so many of the processes from gardening& the Value of growing your own food, to hydrating, & teamwork for housework and Especially dining together, as well as teaching them Your Faith❣️❣️
Be proud of yourself because we are proud of you, Bri♥️❣️
By the way your oldest daughter is a big help to you. I was in the position of caring for six younger children in my family and hoping to cook the meals and housework at Cetera so that my parents were able to farm and do our jobs to help pay the farm off and I learned a lot which prepared me for the role of housewife in motherhood and just taking pride and caring for my home and the joy of gardening. Thank you who is the oldest who is willing to be a support to your Mom~ She is an amazing Young Lady♥️♥️❣️❣️
Foxglove and toddlers who eat plants! watch out. Foxglove is veryPoisonous
Bri my top tip for strawberry plants is tp grow them in hanging baskets. They also look so beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yay Bri! I used your link and put a freeze dryer on layaway.
I wanted to help you out in some way and I hope this helps. I am so proud of you and everything you are doing for you and your family. As a single mom (kids are grown up now) I see strength in you and your children. If I lived closer, we would be such great friends. Thanks for all your tips and being so real! 💙Love from Kentucky.
Turn gummy bears into power, then sprinkle in ice cream. Kids love it in my house.
Marshmallows are awful
Such a beautiful spacial area you live. I can't understand why you can't have chickens🤔
Where the grass is patchy is where some landscape (edible or medicinals too) can go first. Probably dry loving plants (mediteranean herbs for example)
Thank you for sharing this video. Love following along. We have found the meat does really well. It rehydrates faster if we cut it in smaller pieces before freeze drying. Pulled pork rehydrated in seconds with hot water.
That green plant that you didn’t know the name of, the one you said you would keep because it’s holding your bank on… I think it’s a juniper shrub.
What a lovely area you live in , we kangaroos instead of deer
The thing you had a feeling was imossible to get out...IS ! it’s bamboo. Yikes. Cut it back enough and it will only live on the edges but still...
Having your friend come over and help is such a blessing.
I loved the flower crowns. I so loved all this video. Every minute. Hugs and luv.
Love watching your flower garden come together. I work at a perennial plant nursery in Alabama. We do a public plant sale each year with the extra plants we have. We sell at a fraction of the cost to what they sell for in the stores. Wish you lived closer, I could really set you up with some awesome plants.
I watch a few times I love you so much your beautiful voice is soothing ❤️❤️🙏🙏🤗🤗
Juniper is the green fir. They're low grown growers but can be invasive if not trimmed regularly.
Hey! That smaller plant that you didn’t know what it was looks like Heather- if it turns to purple or pinkish, it’s Heather.
The mountain laurel is gorgeous. I found a photo of it online 20 years ago and had it hanging up but I’ve never seen it in the wild. ❤
One lady on you tube freeze dried breast milk! It turned it into a very fine powder that will last until her baby girl is grown up. It had accidently thawed out. She can donate it to a breast milk bank! I love every one of your kids and you!
At about 11:55, it looks like a "blue rug juniper" and the "river cane" you have, please for the love of your garden, if you ve to pull it our in pieces, get all of the runner root and main roots or it will destroy your garden ... it may take quite some time to get rid of it all by pulling it by hand whenever you see any starting to poke it's ugly head, but you have to stay on top of it or it will completely take over and the only way to get rid of it then is to remove the soil (usually about two feet deep and more sometimes) ... I am sure your fence garden will be even more beautiful with each passing year ... and the perennial herbs will be beautiful also ...
I put 12 hours of extra dry time on mine to make sure it’s done, plus in case it’s done in the middle of the night you don’t have to worry about it. Anything with seeds (strawberries) need longer time because the seeds hold water. I have a chart for candy settings if you’re interested
Sweet grapes are off the hook freeze dried. We actually cut them in half before doing them. they take a long time to freeze dry since they hold so much juice. Freeze dried Fresh Pineapple is the same way.
Please don't throw that plant away.its wild leeks.its a herb
Bri the plant that you don't want growing anywhere is bamboo. It will invade your garden. You will need to find a way to remove it so it doesn't take out your garden and fencing.
The stuff that shoots up (river cane ) it looks like bamboo. It's a nightmare to get rid . U have to dig all roots out . There roots travel until they see day light then up it comes .
Good morning, Bri! 😊
I think this might help with your blueberries!ua-cam.com/video/e0ghQucJoTk/v-deo.html
Do yourself a favour get a book wright down how long it take you to freeze dry each thing so when you freeze dry you can put thing that take the same time together to freeze dry and your chicken finger to hydrate you have to put in water then you have to reheat and the coating might get to soggy you can do mashmello and milk ,eggs ,great thing to have in your pantry
You don’t worry about the deer eating your beautiful garden 🙈 we have deer and I had to fence mine in ….they were eating everything down to nothing.
When you weed like you did the perennial boarder right before perennial planting, use a 4 prong garden fork to lift weeds and thier roots.
That cane is bamboo and has a tough and connected root system. Really invasive.
Blueberries need to have little holes put in them unless they were frozen ones from store and usually needs 24-30 hours of dry time
Mountain Laurel is the state flower of my home state, Pennsylvania.
"We like the quiet cuz we're old." I have never related to something more! Lol
If the babies put everything in their mouths make sure they don’t eat the fox glove it is very toxic
Your😊 just lovely to watch your being joyful
So many beautiful plants in your yard. After you showed us the mountain laurel, sedum and hostas… you asked what that green landscaping shrub was.. it is called blue star juniper I believe.. it stays short and only speeds 2feet. Lucky girl to have such a yard♥️♥️♥️♥️
13:10 those are bamboos i think ..
you really need to get rid of them soon if you dont like them by digging the roots out because they keep growing
