My hats off to you on how you handle and answer out of line questions. We see moments of your life and have no idea what really goes on but it is obvious just watching that all the kids do plenty and I am amazed at what a wonderful mom you actually are. Your children are productive, well behaved and good mannered. They are exactly what we need more of in our society so bless you for doing such a good job. You have a full plate and when your husband has a full time job you have to prioritize just how much you can actually do. You are great a knowing the season of life you're in and God knows also. Blessings to your whole family and thank you for sharing!!
I totally agree with the way you raise your kids. Kids need time to be kids.
A 34 minute video?? What a treat! Thank you for all you share. It’s so encouraging!
Look at Gracie, sitting there like a little lady her wrap around her shoulders. Your children are so well behaved. Elizabeth is also following mommas foot step being a little lady. Your doing great momma
I was the youngest of 6 kids growing up on a dirt farm. Our mother was a woman who felt she had never had an option for a different life and if she had it wouldn’t have been what it was. She was a very harsh woman but did the best she was able--we never went hungry, had a roof over our heads and learned independence very early.
You seem like a woman who enjoys your life, your choices and your family. Your children do indeed seem to be growing up enjoying their lives and developing their independence and intellect. There seems to be such a peace around there. I have seen some videos with large families that it seems the children are being forced into showing how polite or helpful they can be but their bodies are rigid as they are “spontaneous” demonstrating their positive traits to the camera. One of my favorite things about your videos is when there will be background noise because you can hear the genuineness of the children playing or talking with each other. I enjoy the fact that you balance chores, education and fun. I was surprised that you allowed games as goals but when you explained it is brilliant. So often when parents are trying to encourage goal setting it can be more like teaching them how to achieve things when you don’t want to do them. And with the way you set up chores they are learning the value and joy of working together instead of resenting everything that is expected of them which later results in rejection of the lifestyle as they grow older. Wish I would have had the parenting wisdom you demonstrate when my children were growing up.
I so wish people would stop being negative and judgmental towards you! You seem to be totally in control of your family and have extremely independent and well behaved children. I dont think anyone could ask any more of any of you! I love watching your family go through your days. Thanks for sharing another great day with us!
Don't pay any attention to what people say, they only want to complain or be a trouble maker. You do an excellent job. Thumbs up to you and family.
I just love how your family works together. Everyone is so loving and respectful, such a beautiful picture of God's intention for families. Keep up the good work!
Hi sweetie I’m the oldest of eight my mother had three girls first and then five boys lol well she was a nurse she was a hard worker and she was a smart woman because she taught all of us how to cook and clean and take care of ourselves and run a household man or woman she said has to be able to take care of everything so if you were canning or changing oil no matter what needed to be done we helped each other so everything got done let me tell you this she was a strong woman she drove herself to the clinic had her baby and came back home and was cooking dinner and we helped her and we had to make her rest lol so I can thank her for teaching us how to work together and raise our children and be able to work and take care of our family I miss her very much you are doing a great job with your family I love y’all
Your very gracious how you address the .2 cents that viewers feel to leave. I don’t think I would be so polite. Your like the epitome of perfect . Your taking time to share all these valuable skills and blows my mind how someone would feel the need to pick apart such frivolous things.🙏☮️💚🤦🏻♀️
It really bothers me that people actually think they can question you about how you delegate chores or anything else for that matter. But let me say I LOVE your answers! Bless you. You are amazing!
Thank you all for sharing your day. Proud of the hard work each child is doing and you are all a blessing. God bless
Been missing your videos!!! I hard boil my eggs this way: put a stainless steel colander inside my largest stock pot, add an inch or so of water to the bottom, stack as many eggs as I can fit, add a lid that’s tilted a tiny bit for steam to escape, boil for 20 minutes & it’s done! That recipe was from Jill Winger’s cookbook & UA-cam channel. Works like a charm!
| FORAGE | I have started to allow and introduce plants to my garden that one would forage. They are dependable and self spreading...all I need to do is to learn how to use them.
I pressure cook my farm fresh eggs in my Instant Pot and most of the time I have no problem with peeling!
Thank you for the channel! I learn so much from you about ssooo many things us non-homesteaders don't even think about. That pancake is similar to something we eat ...a dutch baby. No idea why it's called that. We serve it with powdered sugar and fresh lemon. Other fresh berries are great too.
I think you're an amazing lady and very blessed I don't think I could do what you do I had 5 babies and a set of twins in there and between cooking cleaning and taking care of twins and 2 toddlers I never slept I have OCD and it was hard because everything had to be clean organized and spotless so I just want to say God bless you sweetie your a wonderful mother..take care and God bless you and your family ❤🙏
It’s your business how you raise your children….your doing a great job!
Nice to see you again! Thanks for the update ❤️
Love getting to see a peak into your days!
You are truly such an inspiration and exactly what the proverbs 31 woman is all about. I am still so amazed at everything I just saw like howwwww. . Haha I know Jesus is your strength. God bless you and your wonderful family. Love you guys so much
You are an inspiration. I'm #13 in my family. You remind me of my hard working mommy. She has been gone for years. We lived and worked hard pm our farm. Your children are so BLESSED . You and husband are BLESSED. I'm BLESSED God has allowed me to follow . I enjoy watching that oldest daughter. Wearing her shawl and I believe shes your seamstress. David the cook. Amazing. T u
I'm a new wife with a new big family of 7. Your videos have motivated and inspired me! May God continue to bless your family.
Thanks for all the tips!
Thanks for the tip about the egg steamer. I definitely plan on getting one!
I don't know how you do it all! God bless you! Thanks for sharing!
Love your family, and all that y’all do
Awww the beautiful cow wanting cuddles bless her
Ok, here is the hard boiled egg fix! I do them in the instant pot. I usually do 24 eggs at a time. But you can do up to about 30. I do the 5/5/5 method. I do them in the stainless mesh colander that is made for the instant pot. I use the instant pot constantly! It makes perfect jellied bone broth in a jiffy!! Your roasts stay moist and fall apart in a very short amount of time. I am not kidding, you NEED 1 of these. It will replace your egg steamer and your crockpot. You can make a pot of pinto beans in a flash also! Look into this appliance...you will love it as much as I do!
Love you and your sweet family, sending prayers for continued blessing’s ♥️
I so enjoy your videos and your beautiful children. Thanks for sharing!
Nice to see your beautiful family again...I always look forward to your videos
I enjoy your videos so much. I just love your family. Your children are precious and so obedient. Thank you for sharing your life. I wait every week for next video. Be blessed
It saddens me people would cast judgements on your family without knowing much about it. We see snippets of your life and how you choose to raise your kids is your choice. Clearly how you've chosen to raise them is working because they are good people.
Levi is seriously just a character. He is so full of sunshine and such a go getter. As a grade 1 teacher his enthusiasm already is awesome and makes my heart smile.
Loved this video, I watched over my morning coffee while the house was still asleep. This brought me so much peace just watching you and yoyr lovely family. Thank you for sharing with us.
Your children are adorable. What a happy, loving family. Great job mom! Hugs❤️
Love your family- AWESOME!!!
Love the vlog! I can't wait to get into the garden!! We are from Michigan so our last freeze date is a couple weeks after yours.
Hiiiiiiii 😁 We missed you!!! Glad to see your face!!!
Oh bless your heart! Processing all by yourself! You go girl! Isn’t if crazy what is moms do?! We think we have to do everything. Good for you for outsourcing! I am doing that this year too. Thanks for the video!
Yes Spring is a busy time of the year .
I really enjoy your videos, keepngoing momma your doing great
I’m so glad you aren’t influenced by those who question your parenting practices… you ALL seem to have a very healthy idea of what a sense of family is… besides, it’s no ones business and I think it’s gracious of you to answer them… I was raised the same… I’m very grateful I was able to be a kid! It’s SO important to feel a part of the family by participation in whatever capacity, school takes a lot of time and brainwork, and you gotta be able to be a kid somewhere in there!!! I had horses also as friends, my dogs too, plus I raised baby orphaned animals too. I’m very very grateful…
You are a super Mother! Handling it all like NO PROBLEM!
Great tip with the landscape fabric - I think, I'm going to do this for my garden as well.
All the best!!! 😀
I love, love you and your family. Take care of yourself so you can take care of them. Bless you and your family.
Glad to see you back! I use the instant pot to hard-boil our farm fresh eggs. The shells peel off with no issues! Works every time. Blessings to you and your family!
I’m so enjoying binge watching your videos! 🙏❤️🙏❤️☮️
You and your family are amazing.
What a beautiful and wholesome family, I enjoy watching your videos about canning and how you use up all your harvest nothing wanted God bless! Your a great inspiration to young folks!
today I like your honesty, your realism.
I also live in NW Ohio!! It’s nice knowing you live this close neighbor! 😊 I grew up in a family of 11 children and love watching your videos! Thank you for sharing!
I love how you teach your kids how everyone does their part, and can also help each other. Your family is a great inspiration.
This is the first video I have watched, may I say you are a wonderful Mother and are raising your children in a wonderful way!! Blessings to you and your family.

I wondered where you were on Instagram today! I use so many of your recipes. You need to do a cookbook 😉
I really love these videos that follow you on your day. It’s great to see what the children are doing and hear what they have to say. Your kids are awesome, Gods bless you and your family. ❤
I understand about not being able to do it all. I try to make list and get it all done but I always have things left for the next day. I love my busy life though so it’s worth it.
Unbelievable! What a sweet spirited family!
Hello Rebecca, I have recently started watching you on UA-cam. What an amazing family you are!!! I take my hat off to you all!!! I live in Wales in the UK and have a small homestead too. It’s a fabulous way of life!!! I am completely astonished with the amount of energy you have and the determination to keep everything going. You need to be congratulated. X
Oh wow . That is mind boggling how you navigate all that . Obviously a labor of love .
there is Soooo Much Love within your
organized home … I m enjoying your family and marvel at your abilities in homesteading and homeschooling and gardening and preserving foods and baking/cooking from scratch … and the list goes on and on …
You and your husband are a wonderful example … so glad you decided to share your talents with us.
ps I m a greatgrandmother now but can not remember havng the energy.
When I wash the dirty eggs I put them in a certain egg box to sit out on the counter for a week after washing and then boil them. They peel really well.
I think you're amazing! Well spoken, intelligent, great mom, etc. I don't know how you do it all. God bless you
We add a little acv to the water when hard boiling and that seems to help. I actually started doing that one time because I knew I was hardboiled one that had gotten cracked and I read if you put a little acv in there they won't explode their shell(which it really is true!) But I also noticed that *most* of our farm fresh eggs were easier to peel as well.
You’re a wonderful Mom, I will never understand why people think they can tell others how to live their lives. You have such a beautiful family and your children seem wonderful and I hope you all have lots of fun this year visiting other farmers in your area at the market. I’m sorry to hear about your apple tree, here in Missouri the same happened and I hope the peach trees we have here will be ok, this is my first year here and growing a garden so it’s a learning opportunity for me and my kids. Have a blessed weekend and a Happy Mother’s Day.
What a beautiful family!! 😍
Love watching your channel. You are such an inspiring and patient mother. Your children are lovely! Just try not to do too much and look after yourself too! Lovely family. Bless you! . 🥰. 🥰. 🥰
We have that bee board book, too. 🥰 My daughter loves it! Quick note on an ice cream idea, and I'm not sure it works for GAPS, but we do frozen bananas blended in the blender with coconut milk. It makes a dreamy, rich soft serve type frozen treat. Kind of unbelievably good for how simple it is. We get our bananas by the 40 pound case and freeze them once they start getting pretty spotty and that's what we use for our "ice cream". Love your channel! 💖
I just started watching your videos. You are so blessed with many children! The baked dish you made is also called a Dutch Baby and it is delicious although 24 eggs is way too many. My recipe calls for 4 eggs for that size pan and I use 8 eggs when usinga sheet pan. Lots of recipes online. It definitely is a kid pleaser.
I have missed you. 😢 God bless you all and Keepsafe. Happy Mothers day 💓.
An instant pot also works great...and is a multi tasker!
I love your channel you have a lovely family they are all so cute I like the way you explain everything so naturally I follow living tradition homestead I also love there channel shara and Kevin they have a wonderful channel too God bless you 🌹
My daughter was walking by 8 months and NEVER stopped 🤦 climbed on everything she could too. Love when little ones walk but hate it at the same time 🤷 they grow up SO fast 💜
In Sweden we eat oven baked pancake all the time, but for lunch or dinner. Sometimes we also put smoked, salted pork or small pieces of bacon in for more of a meal and flavour. Thank you for sharing your life here on YT. You are amazing!
If you have an instapot you could cook as many as you want and the eggs peel easily no matter the age of the egg.
We live in the high desert of NM, our last date for frost is May 31st.
You egg breakfast is also called a Finnish pancake. Yes, it does need sugar. We put sliced bananas and strawberries with their juice (from a little sugar stirred into them and letting it set or thaw frozen strawberries that were already sugared). We top it off with whipped cream, but you could use your dairy substitute. My family loves this!!!
Just found your channel and I enjoyed it!
The small batches of chickens makes a lot of sense to me
There is only so much you can expect kids to do.. Your kids are great.. you do a great job managing them and teaching them responsibility and independence
Hard boiling fresh or older eggs in the Insta pot is the best way to peel them. The peel comes off so easy.And you can use the Insta pot for many other things instead of just boiling eggs. And I’ve cooked as many as 15 at one time and I know you could do more than that at once.
What a fabulous job you do! I love how you call your children “children” showing dignity, honor, and respect. You are a beautiful woman. Take care. God bless.
New to your channel! Been really enjoying your videos!
I love the way you have your family. My kids have left high school now but you’re doing an amazing job and wish I could have done it your way 😊
You have amazing kids!
Just found your videos! Yay!!!
Your children are so sweet I can’t imagine any of them wouldn’t help where needed or asked. 🥰
Instapot for eggs. We do fresh eggs in it and no problem peeling.
I really enjoyed your beautiful family.
For farm eggs, if you don’t have the appliance you have, you. Can just put it in the cold water In the pot ad bring to boil for 10 min then cook for a few minutes extra and it makes them easy to peel
That sounds like a nifty appliance for your eggs:-) For some reason I never have a problem peeling our eggs. I can have them straight from the coop, and they still peel easily. Maybe it's the method I use? I don't know, but anyhow, I just fill a big pot about 3/4 way with water and bring to a boil. Place your eggs into the boiling water, and set your timer for 10 minutes as the water comes back to a boil. As soon as the timer goes, dump out that boiling water and immediately cover eggs with cold tap water. You can just let the water run and overflow. I usually start peeling the eggs right away. Hope this helps you make huge batches of boiled eggs!
I totally agree with small batches. I am the processor too, with the kids. Last year I did 70. I said I would never do that again. 🙈 so we are hatching small batches of chickens and ducks too.
Jessica a tip for peeling fresh eggs put salt in your boiling water and cook for 15 minutes.pewls whole every time.
Instant Pot for boiled eggs. I pressure cook them (as many as I want) in my metal steaming basket for 1 minute on low pressure and then do a quick release into a water ice bath (as I don't like hard green yokes, but soft custardy-centers). Peel like a dream even without a water bath.Love it for rice, 1 minute white rice (basmati or jasmine) on high pressurecook and 3 minutes for brown rice. I let rice naturally release, or at least wait 5 minutes before quick releasing top vent. Cooks frozen chicken thighs in 15 minutes (then crisp on grill). Love my Instant Pots...have two...one does roasts, whole ham or 3 racks of ribs. Easy peasy. Know you said no more gadgets needed, but this Mama to 8 says 'yes please' to my Instant Pot. Also make broths, soups...
Thanks for being authentic with everyone. I knew I liked your channel for a reason. :) Keep up being a great mama and know we all need breaks and can't do it all either.
PS we're drowning in eggs too, so I'm trying to make lots of quiche with things from the freezer to use up (including sourdough starter I made in to crusts to use up), and preserving the eggs I can with your waterglassing method. So you could say your pantry challenge is inspiring our household heavily even if we're doing it at a different time. :)
You can boil 12 eggs & more using instant pot. put 1cup of water for 4-5 minutes. The eggs will be easy to peel and perfectly cooked.
as always 💗 Beautiful ❤️ and Blessed
This is a hard working mama!!!
Love the bunny ears!
How do you plan out your garden? I'm aways stuck on this and feel overwhelmed, it happens every year.
I wanted to add, your channel has been a huge blessing. I get anxiety and lately it's been bad for me. I watch your channel and it's an escape for a little while, so thank you
I have a few gardening videos in a playlist
Thank you
I so enjoyed ths vide. I have 6 children so I understand. I once read an article by a college professor no less that stated that people had large families because they were lazy. I about split a guy. That was so funny to me. I enjoy your life and the way you think. Keep up the good work.
That is hilarious. Why would I keep making more work for myself if I was lazy? 😂
I remember back in the 70's a woman used to make eggnog ice cream. The children would drink eggnog once daily too.
Do you have an instant pot? You can do 2 dozen or more eggs easily. And my FFeggs peel easily. You could pickle some eggs....
Your boys nodding along as you talked about the distribution of work cracked me up.
I just loved your response... "I don't want to".
I second this about the instant pot. FF eggs peel perfectly and I can do so many at once!
