Get a clothes line at the farm - you probably one 😮Clothes dried in the sun are the best, blown dry. It’s a great chore for mindfulness and u fold on the take down . They smell like fresh air xxx
When my children were younger we would give them a cool laundry basket on their tenth birthday as a signal that they would be taking over their own personal laundry (with guidance of course). We assigned each child a laundry day to minimize laundry room congestion. It worked out really well.
I switched to tide pods when I got my oldest who is now 10 to make it a bit easier then switched back so they can get the hang of it. I’ll be doing the cool new basket for my almost 9 year old lol
Where does one find a "cool" laundry basket? All I've ever seen/bought are boring ones. Lol I've been working with my 10 year old to get him doing his own laundry and I think it might be less "painful" for him if he had a laundry basket he likes. May not work, but I always enjoy cleaning a lot more(or at least not dread a task as much) if I'm using tools I like to get the job done so it's worth a shot to see if it works for him, too.
The “ask Sarah” segment is a great idea. I love it, I love you! Ps we are not even Christian and I love your love of god and the love in your beautiful family❤️. My point is that your spirit is universally appealing❤️❤️
I feel like choosing whether or not to have your kids included in videos is an ongoing process. I love that you respect their wishes and also that you’re not showing them on their off days or in moments they likely wouldn’t want the whole world to see.
I grew up in a big family. My mother was adamant about us being able to take care of ourselves. I went to a college that had many students who came from affluent backgrounds. I will never forget walking into the laundry room of my freshman dorm and a girl was putting laundry detergent on her clothes that were in the dryer! I stopped and she began to cry because she had no idea how to do laundry. I helped her and word got around that I had mad laundry skills. I had a little side hustle going teaching people how to do laundry! I also did ironing for formals etc. I couldn’t believe how many kids did not know how to do laundry! My mother used to say that it was not her job to make her children so dependent on her that they couldn’t function in the real world. She would always say that it was her job to make sure that we could take care of ourselves when she was no longer here. I think that you have the right idea!
A laundry detergent in the dryer 😂😂😂; at least she has stories to tell about her college days now. actually Sarah herself told us when she got married she didn’t really know how to cook and in a recipe that called for 3-4 cloves of garlic, she added 3 whole heads of garlic 😂😂😂🌺🌼🌸
@@lovalin4139 haha IT remember Sarah telling that garlic story. But yes it's quite sad how clueless so many adult children are. My son's are 16 & 14 & both have been doing their laundry since age 10 also. They can cook whatever they want to eat & if they haven't done it before, I'm near enough that they can ask. I simply see no reason at all why our children can't learn everything it takes to manage a household. If they live with you, these things are being done, in fact for many years I worked outside of the home & of course they were still being done. Just my opinion but I believe their future partners will be very happy . Anyway they are all very Children are very lucky to have them as parents & ppl
I am a firm believer in having children do their laundry. Our girls 2 yrs. apart with the second being twins and me working left us with lots of laundry. As young girls they began to argue about their clothes being in the dryer and not finished. I had a meeting and told them from then on they were responsible for all of their laundry. Peace at last!! In our house we all work and try to learn young. I enjoy watching your blogs.
I feel the same about commercials. They drive me insane! I respect you guys SO MUCH for keeping the “drama” out of your videos. It makes me so very uncomfortable when I see family UA-camrs who take the camera into situations just for the sake of content. I have taken some of your ideas that you have shared and implemented them in our home and I’m thankful for that! I love your mindset of “I’m the expert in my home and you’re the expert in yours”
I started doing my laundry at 7yrs, so I can say with confidence that your kids will be all the better for learning this life skill 😊 Big kudos to you for having 1 washer and dryer for your big family!
It's so much more versatile exposure now than when kids of the 50 & 60 were around..I had control in hand ( when TVs began using them) and would mute or just cut off until I felt whatever was over, also taught my kids just cause you see/ hear it doesn't mean you repeat it..They have to be exposed to something to understand yet shielded till old enough to understand..That's just me...Love your Tribe Sarah, Solo.. Wonderful.....♥️🌹
Sarah, I think it is awesome that you are having your older children to do their own laundry! I remember when I was growing up I was doing a lot of chores which really helped me!
My girls had to help. They did their own wash by 10-12. They had chores that had to be done before they could go out to play. They both rode horses and also had barn chores. Again, chores first, fun second. One is now 50+ the other close to 40. They are very hard workers, have great jobs and rarely miss work.
I’m so happy I’m not the only one that is totally against commercials. I feel judged sometimes or like “I’m doing too much”. Now that my kids are becoming teens I can tell that it was worth all the silly comments I endured. They have such a different opinion about advertising than their peers.
I totally agree about commercials, I'm 46 but I don't even like my eyes seeing a LOT of commercials. In the last few months I have starting randomly asking people in the house, " You know what I hate?" they say, snakes or whatever and I say "no, ADDS, I HATE ADDS!"
My kids started doing their own laundry at seven, young enough to be enthusiastic and excited about it and young enough that the odd shrink or stain mishap doesn't matter to them....by the time they started buying their own clothes the first thing they check was the washing instructions 😊 and their wives have thanked me, plus i only did my laundry most their at home years...life is good
???? How do you keep your joy? My grandmother used to do all things with joy. I get so frustrated with monotonous work, messes, lack of help and respect from family. Are my standards too high? I do have OCD and get treated for it. I have tried singing, praying, reciting scripture.....but it gets heavy and overwhelming. Thank you. I love your channel and attitudes.
I taught all the kids in my house at about 12yrs old or so (6th grade) to do their own laundry. Each kid had their own color towels. As they got to high school age if they were extra busy with schoolwork, exams etc. I would help them out and do a load for them. It definitely helps them to be more independent.
My children learnt how to iorn and use the washing machine when they started high school which is 11 year's old I have also taught my grandchildren Sarah I think it's brilliant the way you and Solo are raising your lovely family 🤗🙏💞✝️☀️
My only question to EVERYONE please please pray for me and my family. We have 5 days to find a home and we have no money. I don't know what we are going to do. I'm so scared for my 5 years old and a 4 month old grandkids.. please please pray for us
I pray for you and your family, that the Lord come through mightily for you. That you will have a testimony to tell of the goodness of God. I am praying for you. 🙏
Am an only child. Spoiled,yes!!!Mom didnt work.Surprise,surprise ,married at 18,moved away,home from work to find no dinner,clothes not washed and so on and on!!!!😮😢
I don’t blame you about commercials. My daughter will call out inappropriate stuff and purposely look away. Sometimes she sees the kids toys commercials and wants to take a look but you are right! Tv commercials are not rated well if at all.
LOVE watching your videos Sarah! It’s amazing that you have created a course to help those that know and admire how much care, love and balance you keep in your home every day. Congratulations! I hope that your hard work will bless your family tremendously.
I agree about the commercials. I tape what I watch and ff all commercials. I think you do a great job in vlogging and you are very in tune with your children and keep their privacy.
That's how I did it too, everyone had a day n time to get individual needs taken care of , n do laundry, also help with setting table , n got to ride in front seat with momma driving , which they ❤'d n it was learning self sufficient Needs n Respect for others as long as it 🚫 something important that was needed on other days I ❤ Sara n Solo's Morals n Respect towards the children n their self sufficient influences but also their children's choices too , My kids are self sufficient n work n have families now n I 👀 I did something right even if our family was on the low struggle income my kids really didn't notice until they were mid teens n wanting to question n learn about banking, bills n utilities n 👀 what it took to make it all work for a family with 9 kids to work out monthly n seasonally with different needs in our home 😅😮😂❗.. Sara's Skills are Awesome as a Wife n Mom n I'm sure a friend cause I've heard her name several times from others lately 😍😘❗ @Our Tribe Of Many is Now a Digital Brand n she's worked so long on Birthing this "Baby" I'm so Proud of you Sara, this will help so Many 👏💃👏❗ Commercials also desensitized our kids alot too I think, due to the over stimulation of our kids brains back when mine were young n My Age Group too since I'm 50 now 👀💭❗...
Agree commercials are getting more risqué and disgusting . Good thing for me is I can pause my stuff and then fast forward . The thing is though , I have no more children at home .
I have 5kids and my eldest is 12 and we have always done that. Now they automatically mute and turn away if watching youtube. Unfortunately, i cant always buy what they watch. They love Arthur cartoon reruns and ads are part of it but they turn away and the eldest skips the ad immediately. God sees that we are trying and He will do the rest for families like us🙌
I so enjoyed you, I agree I'm 65 and I don't like most of them so l don't look at t😢them any and every thing is ON TV. Thank you for sharing. 😊❤🙏 . Miss Ruby
Hi Sarah I know this have nothing to do with your video but I just wanted to ask when you guys build your new home out of the property are you guys going to be a big porch or wrap around porch. Because I noticed how you guys love sitting outside as a family and just doing things and watching the kids play that is the reason why I asked and the property is so big and so beautiful I just figured a wraparound porch would be nice so you can see at least two sides are three sides of the property while you're sitting out there just saying🏃🏽♀️🏃🏽🧎♀️🚶🧎🏽♂️🐕
Sarah, your house your rules! Others need not approve of your decisions. There are some family moments that are just private, not because they’re good/bad or otherwise, they’re just family moments which should be treasured by family members.
In my experience the current commercials in my area are all for pharmaceutical medications. I also mute the commercials and pay to have streaming services to avoid them. They can be just as unhealthy as violence/sexual content, no one needs to hear all about the potential illnesses and medication side effects.
Love your family. My question is with the water situation why not build on to your house maybe new bigger kitchen great room maybe master bedroom and bath.
How are you going to deal with the ticks? Many people find Guinea hens to be very helpful...they eat the little critters. Ticks carry five very bad diseases ...to remove a tick, take a cotton ball of alcohol and place on tick. This forces him/her to release their bite, and then remove the tick. When the tick mouth parts are under the skin, or not released, the bacteria and virus in their mouth part can continue to force that bacteria/virus into their victim. Stay safe, be happy. Love your channel and vids.
When my children were young, they were required to sort their dirty laundry and put away their clean laundry. I preferred to to do the laundry myself because I usually needed to spot clean and since we passed everything down I wanted the clothes to look good for as long as possible. Of course I only had 4 children and they were spread apart in age. With more than that I am sure I would have used Sarah’s method. Lol
@@ASmith-jn7kf My children were very well trained. Just because I did not have them doing the laundry does not mean they did not have other responsibilities. Today they are all grown, well educated with good jobs and upstanding members of the community.
My mother taught me at 5 yrs old how to do laundry... Back then we had a cart on wheels that I had to drag to the washer and then use a folding metal chair/step stool and go up and down it to get clothes in and out of washer... Once washed I had to push/pull that heavy cart thru the house to the back porch... We had a huge window ...that would open up and had a hook to keep it open..so I would climb up and straddle the window sill and hang clothes out to dry.... Once dried, off they came from clothesline and luckily Mom did the ironing till I was 8 yrs old.... UGH
I'm an only child, but my parents both worked full time. From the time I was very young I remember that on Saturday morning we all cleaned the house together and then we would go to the diner for lunch. By the time I was 12 laundry was my responsibility, including ironing!
I agree about the commercials. We were also watching, "Little House On the Prairie" but found that the later episodes kind of went off the rails from the original intentions. It became more like a soap opera than a family show.
We avoid commercials as well. It's been so long since I've had regular TV that I didn't even know they had that stuff on commercials now, but it seems like so many of the I wanna's start from commercials and we are just so much happier without the pressure to not be happy with what we have.
I have six kids all grown up, one daughter five boys, and we didn’t even have a drier when they were at home…Can you believe it? But we live in Israel where for at least 7 months out of the year not a drop of rain falls and the sun is hot!! Now I don’t understand how we did it! But my kids learned early to be independent and all cook, clean and do laundry and the boys are tremendous helpers to their spouses, my daughter has way outdone me with her cooking skills. Mostly everyone in Israel women and men have cooking skills, we don’t have such a fast food culture like in the USA, it exists but it’s different.
By 11 I was running the house doing it all my dad died mum was a zombie with grief so I wa so glad I had been taught by my nan and mum to do everything was needed to run a house I gave my own kids small jobs from cleaning out their animals put clothes away keeping bedroom tidy putting dishes away when older enough taught them cooking ❤ kids grow up so fast
Hmm i guess laundry was something i did way dif. My kids only had a few outfits so i always combined and did family laundry all togeather. Hung it on the line. ( outside in summer, inside in winter) They did put their own away and did leave here knowing how to do laundry. So guess it worked out.
My girls had chores while growing up. Sometimes they would ask to be paid for said chore .. I would say “your payment is the joy of living in a clean home” 😀
I have to add for laundry: if you do get behind even one day though, it becomes a chore to play catch up. I have 3 who do their own, but still have 5 more that I do for. Because they are 10 and under..
Congratulations on your course launch. I’ve been looking forward to it. And an ask Sarah is a great idea. Always great to have another parent’s perspective on things. I love the way you handle your vlog as far as your kids and safety etc. I wish more Vloggers handled it that way. Beautiful fun family.
We don't have our own laundry machines in this apartment complex. Have to drag it all to the laundromat 10 min away. But my kid has to separate and sort and put away. I wash/dry while they are at school because it's less busy.
I AGREE 100% ABOUT COMMERCIALS. We are a household of adults and find a lot of the commercials are sexually explicit. It seems the horrible ones are on during children shows.
Yessss to the commercials! So frustrating especially when watching sports. The sports game is great but the commercials are often totally inappropriate for kids!
Hmmm that's such an interesting perspective on ads! I used to work in the ad industry and there's a lot of effort that ad agencies put into inciting specific reactions which is scary to think about! I wonder if it would be more prudent to teach children to be discerning when they consume advertisements rather than trying to prevent them consuming ads? Ads are everywhere, and discernment & critical thinking would be a more effective skill thank avoidance, in my opinion! Thanks for the food for thought!
I am adamant that nobody is "helping" around the house. We all live here and share responsibility to take care of our home. Language impacts how we think about things, so I never ask for help. I may remind someone what *they* need to do, but it's not something I need them to do, or helping me out. If I ask someone to do me a favor, of course I use my manners and say please and thank you for that situation. Otherwise, I provide instruction or reminders, not requests.
I so enjoy watching you and seeing your beautiful family grow. What I dislike about social media is the fact that there are people that actually think that because you put yourself out there, you owe them an explanation for everything. Keep being you. 💕💕
Hello. Ive nevr thought of commercials being sexual. But i don't watch tv. I watch my ytube on my phone... An i skip commercials... Waste of time.... But i like the way u do ur videos. An ive been watching for a few yrs now. Since Destiny was just born... I love kids i was a nanny for 39 yrs.... I retired 6 yrs ago. Times r changing... People r not raising thier kids right they do not have respect or appreciate anything anyone does for them... Just give give give it makes for greedy unappreciated people who think everything has to b done for them an now.... Nop not for me... Please an thanku's go a long way...
As a 69 yr old woman I am witnessing our Schools and the MSM trying to make our own children a adult before they are old enough to be able to make the correct decisions. Where have you been 😢
Not happy with commercials either I mute or pay extra for no commercials at all so worth it cuts watch time down on a 30 minute show to 30 so it's like getting a little time back during a day or evening 🙃
I'm excited about your course! I've got 7 under 9 and while I feel like I'm making progress in managing all this I need it in leaps and bounds. Thank you!
What exciting news!! Your family is my go to on yt. Not only can it be informative and entertaining but it’s done without exploiting your kids. I’ve unfollowed a few because they use their kid’s personal business for views. I’ve seen you, many times, not show a child because they said they didn’t want to be filmed that day. Love your family and their values. ❤
Love your videos and so excited that there will be more of your videos to enjoy each week. Thanks for sharing your family with us. It’s truly a gift to each of us who watch you!
I watched Puss and Boots as a kid, this weekend my 12 year old grand daughter and I watched it on TV , I was amazed how awful it was. I wonder about Little house how we would view this what age.?
Choose what your children watch is very good my 4year grandson is so scared of zoombies i feel so bad for him and its not good my son also a pastor he definitely saw it somewhere
You are a precious soul Sarah. I absolutely love your channel. Watching you and Solo honor the LORD in raising your beautiful family is such a breath of fresh air and boy do we need that in this very difficult world we are living in. I am praying GOD continues to bless you in this new phase of your lives so that HE gets the glory. Much love to you and your precious family. ❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️
I love that you are doing a home management course! That is how I found you when I was pregnant with #5 four years ago. I searched large family systems and your monthly grocery hauls and chore videos popped up. ❤
You children have your mouth and your husband eyes. Where does their distinctive speech pattern come into play? Thank you. Wish one of the boys would grow their hair out gorgeous hair for all
Congratulations on the release of your course! I've always enjoyed your family and hope to continue for years to come. I look forward to the questions you receive and your answers.
Omg I am 29 and my eyes are like what the heck at the commercials that are coming on everywhere. When I’m watching a garden show seriously it’s like very graphic.
I can't imagine how anyone could find anything in your videos to criticize you and your family... Your videos are very calm, peaceful, and family oriented... Thank You for your wonderful videos... ❤❤️🥰❤️🥰❤️🥰
Sara ... I don't have children, but I love you, Solo & everyone of your wonderful children!! You all have been an inspiration to living an live for the Lord! I've also learned so much watch how you manage your home & how you handle everyday challenges that we all face. You do it with grace & love towards each one of your children & Solo. I'm not trying to idealize you, but just wanting you to know that I truly respect & love you for the honest, open , strong & vulnerable person that you are. I do wish I lived next door to your family so I could really get to know you better & fellowship with you personally! I bless you folks!
I have a child with Dairy allergy. Which means no cows milk, yogurt, butter, cheese, whey or any other dairy product. Just curious how you would navigate that?
Camp David Adventures is a vlog with Sarah’s brother and family. One of their children has dairy allergies I believe and Jill the mom has mentioned this in her cooking videos. You might them interesting.
I agree about commercials. I'm a great-grandmother and am thankful none of my grandchildren or great-grandchildren watch television. I dropped TV 2 years ago. I have never had cable since 1984 Waste of money. Also. I know you earn money by our watching the commercials on YT. Surely you've seen some of these commercials. I won't watch them. I skip them. I understand you have no control over commercials content too.
10:49 oh, okay, I get what you’re saying about the show commercials lol. At first I was like, “what’s wrong with Snuggie the bear or toilet paper commercials” lol
Congratulations Sarah! You look very relieved and happy to have “given birth to this baby” time to relax and enjoy the sunshine and the pool some more! 🎉
Congratulations on the course launch. I went from living by myself to living with my son and his family including 3 kids. Laundry is my contribution to the household chores. No one really enjoyed doing it and I don’t mind. It gives me something to do. However all the kids do KNOW HOW to do laundry (some tend to overload the washer LOL) and if I’m not feeling up to pare they will do their own. I also took over doing dishes as I don’t like a sink of dirty dishes and they would wait until they were out of dishes. Yes all the kids know how to do them but I have chosen to take on those chores. The kids do keep the house tidy. They sweep and mop the tile and hardwood floors and vacuum the rooms that have carpet. It is very important that they contribute to taking care of the house. It really warms my heart when the kids do things without asking. I like to think I’ve had an impact on that. It takes everyone living in the house to keep it up and keep it a home. Thanks for sharing.
Get a clothes line at the farm - you probably one 😮Clothes dried in the sun are the best, blown dry. It’s a great chore for mindfulness and u fold on the take down . They smell like fresh air xxx
Not only that but with utility costs being what they are, it really saves money. I can’t wait every year for it to be warm enough to hang my clothes
When my children were younger we would give them a cool laundry basket on their tenth birthday as a signal that they would be taking over their own personal laundry (with guidance of course). We assigned each child a laundry day to minimize laundry room congestion. It worked out really well.
I switched to tide pods when I got my oldest who is now 10 to make it a bit easier then switched back so they can get the hang of it. I’ll be doing the cool new basket for my almost 9 year old lol

Also, we are a family of 8 and we have scheduled laundry days for our family to focus on per person per day, we wash sheets on their day as well.
That's how I did it too, everyone had a day n time to get individual needs taken care of , n do laundry, also help with setting table , n got to ride in front seat with momma driving , which they ❤'d n it was learning self sufficient Needs n Respect for others as long as it 🚫 something important that was needed on other days I ❤ Sara n Solo's Morals n Respect towards the children n their self sufficient influences but also their children's choices too , My kids are self sufficient n work n have families now n I 👀 I did something right even if our family was on the low struggle income my kids really didn't notice until they were mid teens n wanting to question n learn about banking, bills n utilities n 👀 what it took to make it all work for a family with 9 kids to work out monthly n seasonally with different needs in our home 😅😮😂❗.. Sara's Skills are Awesome as a Wife n Mom n I'm sure a friend cause I've heard her name several times from others lately 😍😘❗
@Our Tribe Of Many is Now a Digital Brand n she's worked so long on Birthing this "Baby"
I'm so Proud of you Sara, this will help so Many 👏💃👏❗
Commercials also desensitized our kids alot too I think, due to the over stimulation of our kids brains back when mine were young n My Age Group too since I'm 50 now 👀💭❗...
love what you said about the commercials. TY
We feel the same way about some commercials and movies and things like that!! Exactly the same!
Agree commercials are getting more risqué and disgusting . Good thing for me is I can pause my stuff and then fast forward . The thing is though , I have no more children at home .
I have 5kids and my eldest is 12 and we have always done that. Now they automatically mute and turn away if watching youtube. Unfortunately, i cant always buy what they watch. They love Arthur cartoon reruns and ads are part of it but they turn away and the eldest skips the ad immediately. God sees that we are trying and He will do the rest for families like us🙌
I so enjoyed you, I agree I'm 65 and I don't like most of them so l don't look at t😢them any and every thing is ON TV. Thank you for sharing. 😊❤🙏

Hi Sarah I know this have nothing to do with your video but I just wanted to ask when you guys build your new home out of the property are you guys going to be a big porch or wrap around porch. Because I noticed how you guys love sitting outside as a family and just doing things and watching the kids play that is the reason why I asked and the property is so big and so beautiful I just figured a wraparound porch would be nice so you can see at least two sides are three sides of the property while you're sitting out there just saying🏃🏽♀️🏃🏽🧎♀️🚶🧎🏽♂️🐕
I agree teaching choirs good life skills some adults can’t admin them selfs !!!
It's always a good idea to keep in mind that we are not raising children; we are raising self sufficient adults. ~ Deb Gordon
Totally agree with you about commercials. I can’t stomach most and have to skip or look away and I’m old!
Sarah, your house your rules! Others need not approve of your decisions. There are some family moments that are just private, not because they’re good/bad or otherwise, they’re just family moments which should be treasured by family members.
Totally agree on the comercials
In my experience the current commercials in my area are all for pharmaceutical medications. I also mute the commercials and pay to have streaming services to avoid them. They can be just as unhealthy as violence/sexual content, no one needs to hear all about the potential illnesses and medication side effects.
You know, people that visit America from other countries are flabbergasted by this... They don't have medication advertisements. So lucky
Love your family. My question is with the water situation why not build on to your house maybe new bigger kitchen great room maybe master bedroom and bath.
Best chapter books for the 8-12 age range.
How are you going to deal with the ticks? Many people find Guinea hens to be very helpful...they eat the little critters. Ticks carry five very bad diseases ...to remove a tick, take a cotton ball of alcohol and place on tick. This forces him/her to release their bite, and then remove the tick. When the tick mouth parts are under the skin, or not released, the bacteria and virus in their mouth part can continue to force that bacteria/virus into their victim. Stay safe, be happy. Love your channel and vids.
When my children were young, they were required to sort their dirty laundry and put away their clean laundry. I preferred to to do the laundry myself because I usually needed to spot clean and since we passed everything down I wanted the clothes to look good for as long as possible. Of course I only had 4 children and they were spread apart in age. With more than that I am sure I would have used Sarah’s method. Lol
No matter how many kids you have, you should be training them, you doing that for them instead of teaching them is not a good thing.
@@ASmith-jn7kf My children were very well trained. Just because I did not have them doing the laundry does not mean they did not have other responsibilities. Today they are all grown, well educated with good jobs and upstanding members of the community.
Good idea about commercial and the internet 👏
My mother taught me at 5 yrs old how to do laundry... Back then we had a cart on wheels that I had to drag to the washer and then use a folding metal chair/step stool and go up and down it to get clothes in and out of washer... Once washed I had to push/pull that heavy cart thru the house to the back porch... We had a huge window ...that would open up and had a hook to keep it open..so I would climb up and straddle the window sill and hang clothes out to dry.... Once dried, off they came from clothesline and luckily Mom did the ironing till I was 8 yrs old.... UGH
I'm an only child, but my parents both worked full time. From the time I was very young I remember that on Saturday morning we all cleaned the house together and then we would go to the diner for lunch.
By the time I was 12 laundry was my responsibility, including ironing!
You're so right about commercials and old movies ! Whoa!!! The simple things that most over look is clearly not for young audiences.
I agree about the commercials. We were also watching, "Little House On the Prairie" but found that the later episodes kind of went off the rails from the original intentions. It became more like a soap opera than a family show.
We avoid commercials as well. It's been so long since I've had regular TV that I didn't even know they had that stuff on commercials now, but it seems like so many of the I wanna's start from commercials and we are just so much happier without the pressure to not be happy with what we have.
I have six kids all grown up, one daughter five boys, and we didn’t even have a drier when they were at home…Can you believe it? But we live in Israel where for at least 7 months out of the year not a drop of rain falls and the sun is hot!! Now I don’t understand how we did it! But my kids learned early to be independent and all cook, clean and do laundry and the boys are tremendous helpers to their spouses, my daughter has way outdone me with her cooking skills. Mostly everyone in Israel women and men have cooking skills, we don’t have such a fast food culture like in the USA, it exists but it’s different.
Congratulations on your new launch! I always love watching you and your family. ❤
By 11 I was running the house doing it all my dad died mum was a zombie with grief so I wa so glad I had been taught by my nan and mum to do everything was needed to run a house I gave my own kids small jobs from cleaning out their animals put clothes away keeping bedroom tidy putting dishes away when older enough taught them cooking ❤ kids grow up so fast
Hmm i guess laundry was something i did way dif. My kids only had a few outfits so i always combined and did family laundry all togeather. Hung it on the line. ( outside in summer, inside in winter) They did put their own away and did leave here knowing how to do laundry. So guess it worked out.
They have been a blessing great bunch of kids
My girls had chores while growing up. Sometimes they would ask to be paid for said chore .. I would say “your payment is the joy of living in a clean home” 😀
What do you do when you and your spouse can not agree?
Are you going to build pool at new homestead.
I have to add for laundry: if you do get behind even one day though, it becomes a chore to play catch up. I have 3 who do their own, but still have 5 more that I do for. Because they are 10 and under..
Congratulations on your course launch. I’ve been looking forward to it. And an ask Sarah is a great idea. Always great to have another parent’s perspective on things. I love the way you handle your vlog as far as your kids and safety etc. I wish more Vloggers handled it that way. Beautiful fun family.
We don't have our own laundry machines in this apartment complex. Have to drag it all to the laundromat 10 min away. But my kid has to separate and sort and put away. I wash/dry while they are at school because it's less busy.
My 11-, 7-, and 3-year-olds all help with laundry. All I do is the folding and I put away mine and the 3-year-olds.
I AGREE 100% ABOUT COMMERCIALS. We are a household of adults and find a lot of the commercials are sexually explicit. It seems the horrible ones are on during children shows.
Are you going to put a clothes line out when you move out to the farm?
Yessss to the commercials! So frustrating especially when watching sports. The sports game is great but the commercials are often totally inappropriate for kids!
Hmmm that's such an interesting perspective on ads! I used to work in the ad industry and there's a lot of effort that ad agencies put into inciting specific reactions which is scary to think about! I wonder if it would be more prudent to teach children to be discerning when they consume advertisements rather than trying to prevent them consuming ads? Ads are everywhere, and discernment & critical thinking would be a more effective skill thank avoidance, in my opinion! Thanks for the food for thought!
Just wondering why did you guys decide to the small house ? Did you sell your old one ? Maybe there is a video on this I missed.
Lots of PROPAGANDA in commercials too!! Good for you!
I am adamant that nobody is "helping" around the house. We all live here and share responsibility to take care of our home. Language impacts how we think about things, so I never ask for help. I may remind someone what *they* need to do, but it's not something I need them to do, or helping me out. If I ask someone to do me a favor, of course I use my manners and say please and thank you for that situation. Otherwise, I provide instruction or reminders, not requests.
I so enjoy watching you and seeing your beautiful family grow. What I dislike about social media is the fact that there are people that actually think that because you put yourself out there, you owe them an explanation for everything. Keep being you. 💕💕
I totally agree with the commercials that come on tv it’s so sad how sexualized tv has gotten from when I was growing up.
Hello. Ive nevr thought of commercials being sexual. But i don't watch tv. I watch my ytube on my phone... An i skip commercials... Waste of time.... But i like the way u do ur videos. An ive been watching for a few yrs now. Since Destiny was just born... I love kids i was a nanny for 39 yrs.... I retired 6 yrs ago. Times r changing... People r not raising thier kids right they do not have respect or appreciate anything anyone does for them... Just give give give it makes for greedy unappreciated people who think everything has to b done for them an now.... Nop not for me... Please an thanku's go a long way...
As a 69 yr old woman I am witnessing our Schools and the MSM trying to make our own children a adult before they are old enough to be able to make the correct decisions. Where have you been 😢
Not happy with commercials either I mute or pay extra for no commercials at all so worth it cuts watch time down on a 30 minute show to 30 so it's like getting a little time back during a day or evening 🙃
You look tan refreshed and beautiful good luck with your new adventure! Sounds amazing!
Are you keeping your house cleaners at this new house?
Thank you Sarah! God bless your family!
I'm excited about your course! I've got 7 under 9 and while I feel like I'm making progress in managing all this I need it in leaps and bounds. Thank you!
What exciting news!! Your family is my go to on yt. Not only can it be informative and entertaining but it’s done without exploiting your kids. I’ve unfollowed a few because they use their kid’s personal business for views. I’ve seen you, many times, not show a child because they said they didn’t want to be filmed that day. Love your family and their values. ❤
Totally agree can think of one with a dozen in the title 😢 not good at all
Love your videos and so excited that there will be more of your videos to enjoy each week. Thanks for sharing your family with us. It’s truly a gift to each of us who watch you!
I didn't realise Judah had moved out. I knew he was going away eventually.
You are such a hard worker. Three videos, classes, home schooling, moving etc.
I watched Puss and Boots as a kid, this weekend my 12 year old grand daughter and I watched it on TV , I was amazed how awful it was. I wonder about Little house how we would view this what age.?
Choose what your children watch is very good my 4year grandson is so scared of zoombies i feel so bad for him and its not good my son also a pastor he definitely saw it somewhere
You are a precious soul Sarah. I absolutely love your channel. Watching you and Solo honor the LORD in raising your beautiful family is such a breath of fresh air and boy do we need that in this very difficult world we are living in. I am praying GOD continues to bless you in this new phase of your lives so that HE gets the glory. Much love to you and your precious family. ❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️
I have to say here in the Austin area most of the commercials seem to be for ambulance chasing attorneys and drug companies.
I like little house on the praire, n waltons.
I love that you are doing a home management course! That is how I found you when I was pregnant with #5 four years ago. I searched large family systems and your monthly grocery hauls and chore videos popped up. ❤
are you going to get a pool at your new home
You children have your mouth and your husband eyes. Where does their distinctive speech pattern come into play? Thank you. Wish one of the boys would grow their hair out gorgeous hair for all
Congratulations on the release of your course!
I've always enjoyed your family and hope to continue for years to come. I look forward to the questions you receive and your answers.
Omg I am 29 and my eyes are like what the heck at the commercials that are coming on everywhere. When I’m watching a garden show seriously it’s like very graphic.
As a mom of 4 I would love to take this course!
I can't imagine how anyone could find anything in your videos to criticize you and your family... Your videos are very calm, peaceful, and family oriented... Thank You for your wonderful videos... ❤❤️🥰❤️🥰❤️🥰
I agree ☺️
Sara ... I don't have children, but I love you, Solo & everyone of your wonderful children!! You all have been an inspiration to living an live for the Lord! I've also learned so much watch how you manage your home & how you handle everyday challenges that we all face. You do it with grace & love towards each one of your children & Solo. I'm not trying to idealize you, but just wanting you to know that I truly respect & love you for the honest, open , strong & vulnerable person that you are. I do wish I lived next door to your family so I could really get to know you better & fellowship with you personally! I bless you folks!
I have a child with Dairy allergy. Which means no cows milk, yogurt, butter, cheese, whey or any other dairy product. Just curious how you would navigate that?
Camp David Adventures is a vlog with Sarah’s brother and family. One of their children has dairy allergies I believe and Jill the mom has mentioned this in her cooking videos. You might them interesting.
Exciting news!! I do appreciate your channel, love seeing your children but happy that you keep somethings private!! Enjoy your pool!!
This is so exciting!! Love the idea of Tuesday Q&A❤
I agree about commercials. I'm a great-grandmother and am thankful none of my grandchildren or great-grandchildren watch television. I dropped TV 2 years ago. I have never had cable since 1984 Waste of money. Also. I know you earn money by our watching the commercials on YT. Surely you've seen some of these commercials. I won't watch them. I skip them. I understand you have no control over commercials content too.
10:49 oh, okay, I get what you’re saying about the show commercials lol. At first I was like, “what’s wrong with Snuggie the bear or toilet paper commercials” lol
Congratulations Sarah! You look very relieved and happy to have “given birth to this baby” time to relax and enjoy the sunshine and the pool some more! 🎉
Congratulations on the course launch. I went from living by myself to living with my son and his family including 3 kids. Laundry is my contribution to the household chores. No one really enjoyed doing it and I don’t mind. It gives me something to do. However all the kids do KNOW HOW to do laundry (some tend to overload the washer LOL) and if I’m not feeling up to pare they will do their own. I also took over doing dishes as I don’t like a sink of dirty dishes and they would wait until they were out of dishes. Yes all the kids know how to do them but I have chosen to take on those chores. The kids do keep the house tidy. They sweep and mop the tile and hardwood floors and vacuum the rooms that have carpet. It is very important that they contribute to taking care of the house. It really warms my heart when the kids do things without asking. I like to think I’ve had an impact on that. It takes everyone living in the house to keep it up and keep it a home. Thanks for sharing.
