    CHAPTERS IN DESCRIPTION! In this video I have an Azure Haul, cook with me recipes including a GLUTEN FREE angel food cake, Sourdough pizza crust, taco soup, Italian zabaglione, Godly Mothering and heart training clips (so you'll know you are NOT THE ONLY ONE dealing with all the mom things), family laundry solutions I found, a devotional for overworked mama's, and home decor on a budget (thrift scores).

    Your teaching moment during laundry with your kids made me cry. It was really touching and beautiful to see an everyday situation turned into a teaching moment on gratitude and scripture. I have a 2 yr old and you have officially helped me set a new goal for my parenting. ❤

    Thrift stores are the BEST because you find one of kind type treasures that match your style and tastes. Your home won’t look like anyone else’s when you decorate from a second hand store and it’ll be super personalized. 😍 When we get out of our remodeling/rv stage, I can’t wait to pull out what I have in storage. It’s been two years at this point, and I know I’m going to love it!!

    I had two young sons while in nursing school so everyone had to pull their weight at home. They had two laundry baskets, clean/dirty baskets and also 7 days of underwear. When dirty basket was full, then time to wash. They were taught to wash their own clothes and have done so since then. Paid off when they went off to college and they taught everyone else on their dorm floor.

    I like to buy outdated planners on clearance and white out the dates and relate them. I just bought 4 real nice planners at hobby lobby for 1.50 each ;) or if you’re picky you can use date dots to cover the dates. I’m not picky lol. Put scrapbook paper around the tins and fill them with homemade candy or treats for Christmas gifts.

    Enjoyed seeing the great laughter and silliness in your home. My oldest is going to be in high school the coming year and then I will have one in middle school, two in elementary, and a preschooler- It was so great to see all of your family doing things together. We are like that too, we don't really see that. I am really enjoy the variety in the videos. The cooking along with lots of other things is really wonderful. I know that the cooking from scratch is making a difference for our family too. There are many times that it overwhelms me...but I wouldn't change it. I feel so good knowing what my family eats. I find a lot of joy baking and cooking for them (and myself)!!! Its great to see you so happy. You are looking very settled in your home

      Hello Alesha! So nice to hear from you again! Thank you for this sweet comment, yes, we have silliness daily here! The giggles and jokes and love are my favorite thing about having a bigger family. I'm glad to hear you like the variety in the videos, I seem to have cracked a code with my audience with that! I'm thankful for this. I know what you mean about the cooking being overwhelming at times, but at the same time not wanting to change it. At the end of the day it's worth it!

I am totally addicted to tins I have quite the collection and I'd offered to take some off your hands but I'll probably get in trouble lol. I'm really enjoying your channel.

    I love the tea tins you have. You could collect elderberries, dry them and store them in the tins for tea to be used at a later date. The same with cone flower, mullein leaf, lemon balm leaf and much more. I also reuse tins like those for buttons, straight pins and other sewing notions. 💞

    Love your videos! I wanted to mention in case you didn’t know, that with reverse osmosis water, it’s really important to add minerals back in - humid, Fulvic, salt, etc. It removes the bad stuff but the good stuff too! Mineral deficiencies can really effect your health, your thyroid especially.

    Just going to tell you that after much study and hearing online advice from homesteaders, a milk cow is much easier than goats. We went with a cow. She's our easiest Homestead addition. So far we have chickens, layers and broilers, meat rabbits, a puppy, and the cow and her calf. Next animal to add will likely be a lamb.

    We started with cows when we bought our homestead in 2011. Some years later we switched to goats. We love them! We have 5 in milk now that 2 of our older children take turns milking. I actually just taught our 15 yr old son how to trim their hooves today. :)

    I intentionally buy fun colors and mismatch my socks! 😂 My daughter does the same - except for her chicken feet socks - she always wears both of those. But our boys only keep simple socks and so are always matching. As for your littles and finding joy, sometimes we add music or other sensory stimulation while we are doing the not-so-fun jobs. I loved your talk though. I need to practice working on my patience.

    Wild roses are amazing!! I’m sure you’re familiar with the benefits of rosehips already. But they were one of our favorite things to harvest along with elderberries in late summer/fall when we lived in the PNW.

    I relate so much to these videos. Thank you! I found the milking jars from azure to be excellent for dry ingredients. I thought they were pretty affordable. You have to buy the lids separate, but our last haul (mine was on Wednesday), I ordered some and our dry pantry on display looks great. Large family here too, if you remember from previous comments on older videos (12 kids so 14 of us). We designate areas or responsibilities, so laundry is done only by 2 of us. Not sure if that would work for your family.

      I do remember you now, 🥰! I can imagine your pantry does look great, Something about those glass jars all lined up and full... it gets me😅! Ok, so tell me, do you feel like the jars are thick or thin? I got some several years back, and they were so thin! So now I buy pickles by the gallon because the pickle jars are thicker. If the jars from Azure are thicker again, I would love to get some though.
      I think it's so awesome you have such large family, my husband and I would have more if we could!

    Depending on your area, yard sales are great too. I've been needing a pet carrier for my rabbits and fb has had them for 10 or more. I went to a few yard sales on a whim Friday and found a great condition pet carrier for a DOLLAR! I'm definitely going to try and yard sale more this summer.

    Ferns are so great. We have one that was not in good shape when we got it (also paid hardly anything for it) and now it is crazy.
    I don't know the names of most of my plants. Good for you getting things second hand. That is the way to go.
    Love the pizza. I have never made my own (my oldest brother has and is good at it though).
    I love making things from scratch and love that you do that. I am sorry about the Hashimotos.
    Haha. I have told my sons to find joy in the things we do too. Nice to hear others giving such a pep talk. I used to quote Philippians 2:14-15 to them if they seemed to not be too thankful to do things to help. Boys especially tend to zone out and half listen. They listen way better now that they are older. Do you find that to be true for you in your experience?
    Is it bad that I don't use gloves for washing dishes ever? I've been washing dishes for so long, and even had a job where I washed the dishes several times for a few years, that I just. . .like feeling the water and the items rather than having a smell of rubber left on my hands even after washing them. Your gloves look nice going up the arm that way though!
    My mom used to make angel food cake when I was a kid, but not since. I have never tried it. I should get her recipe. I love that fluffy taste it gives.
    Do you guys live near the beach?
    Karaoke is so much fun! How cute!
    Little House on the Prairie skirts for life! hehe.
    I'm very much into popcorn. Before being pregnant this time around, I was eating it sometimes 4 times a week!

      Awe, please don't be sorry you type so much, I love reading your comments, Justice Pirate! I used to know the names of all my plants but I forgot some, lol! I guess my brain had to make space for something else, haha! I did discover I can take a picture of what I have and my camera has a feature where I hit a button and it analyzes the picture and tells me what the plant is. I love that feature!
      That is a good verse to remember, love it! And I agree about boys. I do find the ages 9-12 to be particularly difficult, I think it's got to do with all the changes their bodies are going through. They do only half listen, then it does get better in my experience and they get more reasonable.
      One of the reasons I wear gloves is the thyroid disorder makes my nails thin and very weak. I do love the feel of the water and washing dishes too so that part is hard. I always wear polish to protect my nails and give them a chance, it helps, but having them in water as often as I do will make them break and peel all the way back if I'm not careful. I do hate that rubber smell too! I haven't noticed it with these ones yet though...knock on wood!
      Yes, we have lots of beaches around, the beach is my favorite happy place, the water grounds me (if that makes sense).
      BTW, I subscribed to your channel, I love it!!

      Ah, yeah having your nails break down would not be a good thing to go through, so that makes sense.
      Is this an app you use, that gives you the plant names? What is it called?
      Nice! I am glad to hear about the beaches. Are these ocean or lake or river beaches? I love the lake, though I live near the Atlantic Ocean, so I go to various types of beaches here. I am going to probably go to the lake this week to just relax a bit. I don't have a maternity bathing suit, which is hard for me as someone who loves to swim. No point in getting one now though with only a couple weeks left! Maybe I'll just put my feet in from time to time.
      What you stated about 9-12 year old boys, I agree with.
      Hope your week continues to go great.

    I have hashimotos and thyroid issues. I have done nothing but gain weight since I was diagnosed. It's hard for me to lose weight and I have just given up and try to be content. The good news is that I don't have diabetes, high cholesterol, etc. which runs in my family. I also don't seem to have the stamina to exercise like I used to. I help my hubby on our homestead and farm and that is a lot of physical work but I don't have a formal exercise routine. My energy is not there. Any advice?

      Hello Jamie, are you on thyroid meds? If not you may need them, and if you are on them and they are not helping try a different brand! Some brands do not work at all for me and make me sicker! Once you find the right brand it should make a difference. It's recommended to get blood work every three months to make sure the dosage doesn't need to be changed too. If my dosage is even 5mg too low I gain weight and almost all the hypothyroid symptoms hit me like a storm.
      I found that limiting gluten seems to help. If you do eat wheat make sure its only organic, and sourdough is best as this is far more easily broken down by the digestive system.
      I've tried AIP and it worked, but it was SO HARD to stay on because of how many people I have to cook for, and because spicy food and dairy are my favorite foods, lol! You might look into it though. There are some really good Auto Immune Protocol cookbooks out there. I hope this helps!

Probably not a smart idea. I do get the blood work every three months too. I’ll try to limit my gluten and the other tips. Thank you!
