Links are affiliate links, but I will only recommend items I LOVE and use daily with no extra cost to you, and it helps support the channel! Thank you for your support!
Sweet Becky - I’ve recently been reading through comments on your videos. I feel as if I need to apologize for the cruel comments that have been made (especially after cooking @ your Mom’s, when you had no water). I’ll never be able to understand how people become so evil, but just be sure you know that they are the ones w/problems - NOT YOU. I can’t imagine how lonely it must be, living (in their heads) so perfectly, and not like those of us who are human. I’m so happy to see what wonderful, beautiful, people the majority of your followers are. They are such a joy. YOU are such a joy. Be blessed. 😊
Aw thanks for being so supportive!
I agree 100%. Becky at acre homestead is my absolute favorite channel.
Omg are you kidding I guess I don't see those comments. But of anyone Becky is the sweetest most caring person. There's always someone envious of another success.
It is so sad that people are so negative and critical in today's online world.
Absolutely! TY!
Becky, your brain is a masterpiece.
I have ADHD and my husband says I "bumblebee" around, doing little bits of chores here and there, and forget what I'm doing, switch gears part way, etc....(it's gotten worse as I age :P)
Getting ONE THING completely done is a challenge!!!
Having you here to inspire me to do a project/recipe/garden things REALLY HELPS me complete tasks!
How you manage a husband, pets, a homestead, a BABY, and a whole ass COMPANY this well is mind-blowing to me.
You are truly incredible.
All of this while ALSO teaching us SOO MANY THINGS with compassion and kindness, a brilliant smile, and somehow still look BEAUTIFUL and well put-together?!?!?!?!!?!
Girl.
You are superhuman to me and probably the majority of your viewers.
Thank you for being here for us!
It's a lot of work to do this and we appreciate and value you in all your glory
I just recently found your channel I must admit I’m very impressed. I am retired. The mother of 5, bonus mom of three, and grandma to 18. Juggling all of what you’ve accomplished is simply an amazing feat. Your energy is incredible. You are blessed to have a great support group of friend and family. I just watched your carrot and onion video. A few days ago I watched your new home tour. Oh my gosh you have done incredible things. When I grow up, I want to be just lije you, lol.
I appreciate you being open about the supportive community you have around you. A young woman in my life comments 'why can't i get it all done? Becky does!'. It was so valuable to discuss with her the value of a community (especially of you don't have supportive or local family) and the ability to ask for help.
Yes so true I love this channel , don't have anything but good things to say and think 😍
I think it’s very important for content creators to be honest about how much help they have around - there are lots of parents without any help and they need to know they aren’t lazy - they just don’t have support like other people do, and they have to adjust their expectations.
Becky, I watch all your videos so I know that you are "beating" yourself up about the freezer. Look, take it from an old woman, it too shall pass! You have so many successes in your life, a great husband, a healthy baby, your parents are active and healthy, and you are a wonderful person. You are a caring wife and mother. Oh boy, could I write a book about my failures! HOWEVER, I have a great husband, relatively good health and I love my family, home and friends! I am a success as far as I am concerned!
Our own failures are many times hard to accept. I have recently come to the mindset that failures are only iteration and learning opportunities. It's making it a bit easier to rebound from them. We aren't perfect but we can learn from our mistakes and do better in the future.
@@aloras405 You are so right! There is so much that can go wrong, but if you have love and health what more success is there!!
If it won’t matter in 10 yrs…it doesn’t matter 😌
This has happened to us several times when the kids were small - like 4x. It happens!
I want to thank you for showing us the reality of working from home. You are an inspiration for me and many people who watch your videos. Moving from teaching, to working in home healthcare during COVID, to retirement has been a huge change for me. I discovered the first year in retirement that I was exhausted and did absolutely NOTHING. I am now moving into finding a new challenge and watching you create a home for you and your family while working from home has inspired me. THANK YOU for all you do.
You are a great role model for new homemakers and homesteaders. Multi tasking is key! I'm retired and live in a second floor apt, but I still have a container garden for salad veggies. I grow scallions, romas, leaf lettuce, peppers, radishes, and cucumbers. I even have 3 huge grow bags with potato plants that always seem to do well. No matter how old or where you live, grow some wholesome food! I've been with your channel a long time. From the beginning, I knew you'd be successful. Your garden at your new home is amazing! Don't forget to take care of yourself and your needs too. Admiration from Vermont.
I just came to say, my whole family loves your channel! My girls (who are 5 and almost 4) play acre homestead in their mud kitchen outside or in the play kitchen when the weather doesn’t allow them to play outside! Plus they usually ask to watch acre homestead instead of cartoons ❤
Hi Becky.👋 I think this video was amazing. It’s good for people to see the REAL side. So many people don’t realize just how much work one would put into their videos. It’s not magic. Some people need patience and also to realize that everyone on UA-cam have lives and it takes a special person to be able to juggle all and have such a WONDERFUL channel. Tfs. Have a great Sunday.❤️🤗
Can I just say, I am in awe of your ability to film multiple vlogs in a single day. I’ve watched more than once how you switch back and forth in the same day for separate vlogs. I honestly don’t know how you are able to multi task that so well. Because you are also often cooking multiple recipes keeping your house clean and caring for a baby….amazing!!! But for someone who turns out such lengthy and frequent content for us to enjoy, you definitely earn every ounce of success coming your way.
Curious, No doubt Becky works extremely hard. Did anyone else noticed she mentioned at 0.51 that she had an editor with new 2 videos for her to review? `So Confused, what is an "editor" role here? and who is editing the videos?
Becky, it would make life a whole lot easier for you to put out just two videos a week. We will still be here ready to enjoy what you teach. Knowing that a big load would be taken off your shoulders would give us all so much joy! Have a great day and God bless.
Totally agree! I find it easier to keep up with watching videos if they’re posted less. Too many and life gets in the way and I end up not watching any.
That would cut into her video income
I didn’t know it would cut into her income. Just an idea…
She can do whatever she wants. Leave her alone.
Absolutely! Behind her all the way!
Becky is a dynamo! She gets more done in one day than I do in a week! Goals 😊
You are amazing!!! Your videos are real. We learn from them. You teach us it's ok , nobody is perfect and just allow yourself the grace. Thank you for showing us that doing our best is enough. Please continue to show the real. It helps more than you know, especially when everyone is trying to be perfect all of the time.
Thank you so much 😊
Laurie from MI here, always learning so much from you… especially appreciating that you persevere and keep your yourself planning. Your projects, cleaning and gardening process/systems keep moving even while your heart hurts and mind manages and handles the unexpected freezer situation. You are remarkable. God Bless You!
I’m a recent subscriber. Blown away by her energy and her positivity.
Becky, it is so important to show how life at home really is. Thank you for keeping it authentic!!!! I wished I lived closer......I love folding laundry.
I was so crushed when I saw your videos that mentioned your freezer being left open. Especially because I knew you had spent a whole day doing a huge freezer meal cooking day with us and had put so much time and effort into the meals you had in there. I've been watching you about two years now and must say that your channel is one of my favorites. You and your whole family have become part of my daily life so much so that I feel like I'm an actual friend sitting in your kitchen with you. The only thing missing is that I can't smell or taste your kitchen through the screen 😉
Loved this Becky! I would also LOVE to see a behind the scenes of shooting a video. You have become the QUEEN of entrances and exits. I've noticed a lot of when you are leaving the kitchen (or any room) and entering the seed room, you show your exit and then it cuts to you entering with a tray of something and I imagine that behind the scenes that entails you filming your exit, going back for the camera and walking it to the other room and setting it up and them walking back into the room like it is all fluid. I would LOVE TO SEE how those things happen in real time and what goes into all of those moments we don't see. Maybe you could consider that one day.
Thanks for sharing as always.
I would love to see that as well
Or … maybe she has more than one camera …
I keep trying to figure this out too! Surely you have more than one camera set up Becky? However you do it, you’re so clever figuring it all out 😍 xox
Becky I just wanted to
Let you know how you have inspired me. My granddaughter will be starting her first year of nursing school next month. She has a really full load, so after watching all your freezer meals I have decided to cook up a bunch of meals that she can thaw and cook. She will just have to figure out a side to go with whatever it is. So I just wanted to thank you for your great videos and advice. I’m so thankful that I can help lighten her load just a little bit.
Keep being you…I really appreciate all you do on your videos. ❤
Youre an amaxzing woman Becky! Thanks for sharing your life with us!
Thank you so much!
I love that you have a good balance between work and home life. Having an editor seems to be a huge help!! I was devastated when you lost all that food in your freezer after all that hard work. I also love how you give yourself grace to do or not to do something. You are a blessing to us all and thank you for sharing your life with us!! Continue to be blessed!
Hello from Canada, Becky, loved having a sneak peek into your working week, I love how authentic you are, and yes laundry piles up, freezers get left open, dishes don't always get washed, we are not Super Heros and we must enjoy our lives. It's okay to let things go a bit and enjoy the little things in life.
Would love to see a live again soon, maybe with Josh and I also love your mom, she reminds me or me .. hahahahaha
Love your channel and have watched every video of yours and I always look forward to the next one :)
Did anyone else’s heart sink when she pulled out THE freezer meal? 😢 much love to you, Becky! ❤
Yes! I kept trying to look in the background to see if i could see it opened. So heartbreaking 😞
Omgoodness I was heartbroken 💔 for Becky. I wanted or go help her to make more freezer meals. You so Becky, your momma should be proud. You are down to earth real.
Thanks for letting us spend this week with you, in jammies & with all the ups & downs. I am often in my pjs when I watch on the weekends :) But it does make me feel like we are friends since you feel comfortable enough to share this all with us. Happy summer to you & your famitly!!
Becky that was so much fun! People do not realise how much time it takes you from setting up cameras to editing and uploading just for one video. It is hard to work from home especially when you work for yourself. I think you have found a great balance, and I love that you shared it with us. Thank you for being you!
Becky, you know I love listening to your calming voice so much. Thanks for sharing. God Bless. Love you! xxoo
Oh thank you!
I couldn’t agree more!
I really appreciated this video! It was just enough behind the scenes that I feel like I have a good idea of what your days can look like.
It was like we used a time turner to look at life before the freezer incident - I wanted to reach in the phone and close that freezer! I’m so sorry that happened!
Can’t wait for the garden videos and to see what’s in the box!
From your biggest fan in Oakland, CA!
SOOOOO SAME!!! (About reaching into the video and closing the freezer!!!)😭
That part would have been so hard for me to watch back. I would have been yelling at myself 😭
This is so inspiring, I’ve been watching you for a while now and the fact that you’ve transitioned to a full UA-camr is so inspiring. It’s still a lot of work but it’s your business! Thank you for posting this amazing video! Fully supporting you and your family :)
Becky you are such an amazing woman. Giving yourself Grace is something I learned later in life. Seems we run around like a chicken with our head chopped off when we’re young & feel it all needs to be done yesterday.
It’s been a pretty busy year for your family, I like so many of us are absolutely impressed with your energy, determination & love you have for your family & friends. You have inspired thousands of people to get off the couch & have a garden, preserve food & support local farmers.
Thank you so much for taking us through the good, the bad & the ugly of not only a UA-camr, but on a personal level filled with so much compassion for others. Your beautiful spirit keeps us coming back here for more, thank you again Becky & Josh ❤
Hi Becky! 👋🏾 this was a great video.. I love a behind the scenes. It was great to see you in other parts of your house. That sun room is gorgeous by the way. I’m glad that you have help because we all need help sometimes. We are only human and we cannot do it all and it’s ok to ask or need help. Thanks for sharing 🫶🏾
Thank you for this beautiful video! I appreciate all your hard work. What a gorgeously put together home you & Josh have created. I really love your content 💕 on ALL your videos. Wait till my mom hears about your freezer. My sister has lost the content of her freezer & refrigerator 3 times in the past 5 years. These are REALLY expensive appliances, too. Ugh. Keep it up, Becky. We love you
Thank you for opening a part your life to us. You are such a loveable person & this shows by the quick growth of your channel. You, Josh & both your parents are SO giving & support each other. Thank you
I felt like too much of this was clips we'd already seen. Not being negative, just giving honest feedback. Most of Becky's videos are already "a day in the life" style videos so not sure we need "a week in the life" which again, was mostly repeat clips.
No need to come at me, I've watched Becky since her first days like so many others and I'm entitled to my opinion 🍻
I think your editor does a great job capturing your style, I did not even notice the difference between the transition of your own editing and the editors and I have been subscribed for a long time! I think you are so good at priorities! :)
Hey Becky - super fan here. I appreciate you giving a week in the life, but it would be even cooler to hear you talk even more about the you-tuber biz part of your week -- like how are you feeling about running your business? How are you keeping clear on how much you're spending on the channel and how much it's making you? You mentioned having an editor -- how much does that cost relative to what you make? What about your healthcare coverage or the tax implications of your home being part of your business? It's all super interesting to those of us who've been with you on this journey for years! Much love - J
What’s in the box??? Lol I know we will eventually find out 😊 really enjoy all your videos. I’m going to turn 60 this year, some days feels more like 80, so one thing I’ve realized and greatly benefited from watching your videos is being organized is half the battle won! Not just organized, but making frequently used items more easily accessible. I struggle with wanting to be in the kitchen because of all the stuff that needs to be gotten out only to put back away. Love your flour/sugar drawer and attempting to do something similar in my kitchen. I may just end up enjoying cooking and baking more if it feels less like a chore. Keep up the good work and no sweat about the freezer. It’s all water under the bridge now.
I realized that I really feel like you're my friend in a sense. I look forward to seeing you & hearing what you're doing. I even pray for your family when God puts you on my mind.
I wish you all the best, Becky. Thank you for being genuine with us. That's part of why I look forward to seeing you. 😊
Becky, the reason flowers and flowering bushes are important in the garden is to attract pollinators so you don't have to hand pollinate. Old rotten straw and grass clipping makes mulch. Covering the soil keeps it moist and encourages earthworms to come up to the surface to till and fertilize the soil with their worm castings and worm eggs. The mulch creates an environment for the microbial life, so important in fertilizing the soil for your plants. Mulch keeps weeds down to almost nothing. True the making of the mulch is an investment of time and energy but after 3 years it gets easier.
I would love to see how the new living room furniture turned out. Your sunroom looks finished, now, also ❤
Love love love all you do! Thank you, a day with Becky is the BEST day. 😊
Oh my lord Becky! Please please please give us a tour of your new living room furniture!!! From the few snippets it looks so amazing!! ❤
Great look into your week Becky. I wonder how many people thought your job was easy 😂. I think most people who are not self-employed have no idea how easy it is to let work take over your life. Finding that balance is probably the most difficult part. I appreciate you taking the time to give us a glimpse into the other side of your work life as well as a peek at how you try to find and keep the balance between work and your personal time. It always looks so easy when we just see the “fun” side… Wishing you a blessed week, thank you again for sharing! Bye friend 👋
Hello Becky! I noticed you pitting cherries with a knife. There is a really easy way to get the pits out using a straw. You poke the straw from one end to the pit and pull it out, then you turn the cherry to the other end and when you insert the straw the pit just pops right out! I found this supper useful when preserving a ton of cherries. Love the videos! Take care!
Just a little feedback for when you can, please try to find a way to get the video and voice-over volume to get closer together. During the regular video part I have to have it almost full blast. Then the voice-over volume blows out my ears.
To Becky and all her followers.....love from South Africa ❤❤❤
Thanks so much for sharing your “behind the scenes” video. I’ve always wondered 1. “How does she schedule/plan her days/weeks?” & 2. “How does she get all this stuff done w/ Baby Acre?” & Now We Know!!!
Inspiring to say the least.
I like the way you “fill in the time” while something else is “working for you”. Great tips!
Thanks so much for sharing & God Bless!
You are AMAZING!!! You don't know how big of a sigh of relief I let out during this video... Knowing/seeing how you use help during key productive times really helped me cut myself some slack. Been pulling 16 hour days trying to be "Becky productive!" 😂 God Bless you guys!
Becky, I am a retired Home Economics teacher. I am eager to see the out come of your garden this summer. Enjoy the video's and I am learning new gardening and canning tips. We are in Zone 10B and have already harvested String beans, tomatoes, apricots, and cucumbers! You are doing a great service encouraging people to start raising their own vegetables no matter how small a garden.
Cant believe you didn't show us the surprise!! Talk about a cliff hanger. 😂 guess i will have to stay tuned for the next video. Thank you for sharing this part of your life. Anyone who is interested in starting a channel should watch. I hadn't seen the furniture in the sun room. It looks so cozy and comfy! So glad you have some help with all of "life". Everyone needs it. I know Jamerril had quite a few people behind the scenes. Again, so sorry about the freezer. It really makes your heart sink. Been there, done that. Thankfully it wasn't one of your meat freezers, but still a loss. Stay healthy and happy, friend.
I continue to see our similarities not just in personality but our backgrounds! Becky, oh how I have so many POOL memories, every day in summer! Always laughed how my long braid would shrink up after a day in the pool! Swim team, diving team (not good at it but sure was fun!) then moved to guarding, and yes teaching Ref Cross swim lessons, my favorite was mommy & baby lessons! ❤ ya lil sis, Kristy in Missouri zone 6b 😃🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
When i was recording one of my videos, Alexa announced that your video posted and i said in the video, "i usually stop what im doing and watch her video 😂 now im debating on getting this done or watching her video now". I was starting seeds in the video. 😅 Thanks for being you Becky and always showing up for us.
You're the best!
Aww shucks 🥰. I think you're the best 🙂
Hi Becky, love from Nairobi, Kenya. I've been trying to get the courage to begin a channel here, but it just seems overwhelming at times to begin thinking little ole me could do this. Thank you though for holding my virtual hand❤ Blessings
Dear Becky,
Thank you for taking us with you this week. I'm amazed how much energy you have to tackle all these different jobs! And I know it takes a village to rise a child, and I totally understand that you get help with that!
There is only so much you can do in one day, and even seeing you sitting, doing computer work interest me. Really!
There is only one bummer: now we still don't know what's in the box. 😂
I hope you, Josh and baby Acre have a wonderful week!
Sending you all my love and a big hug! Xoxo ❤, Ilona
And of course saying hi from the Netherlands. 🤗 🇳🇱
Your week in the life was very interesting. Made me feel good about myself with my laundry issues and pushing things to another day. I’ve raised my children and I can look back and say that the laundry wasn’t as important as quality time with the family. Good job balancing your life.
Becky, you have redeveloped your entire life since Covid and I’m so thankful for it. You help me destress every other day when a new video uploads. You inspire me to have food insurance and you inspire me to look at home projects without grief! Keep these videos coming. We all appreciate you letting us spend time with you and your homestead!
Hi Becky! Thank you so much for sharing this! I too feel it can be overwhelming as a new youtuber and learning to edit everything. I just plug along. So, knowing how professional and how great your channel is, that you also learned slowly, makes me feel i have hope! LOL I have tried many of the recipes, and products you recommend through your links. I really do appreciate when you share great products. I love the content you bring, and all the tips, cooking, gardening, and such.. Please keep it up. This was really a fun little glimpse at how you put it all together! Have a blessed week!
Aw keep going! You can do it! It is so hard to learn so many new things at once. Just take it one video at a time. If it wasn't for josh I there won't be a channel
hard working, dedicated, consistent, a giver, compassionate and resilient! Thank you so much for sharing this side of your life pretty lady it was such an inspiration! I would love to know how you actually got started being a FT content creator!
I hope you incorporate more a week in the life videos - I thoroughly enjoyed this one!🥰
I’m glad you have an editor to make your life easier.
Sorry to hear about your freezer meals 😢
Love love love the chairs in the sun room!!!
My heart broke when we saw the freezer! I ran into my daughters room and told her. We grieved with you. "Oh no! She just made those! Poor Becky!"
I don't usually comment because I watch you on my tv but had to tell you I loved the chairs.
I read a comment about the hateful comments you get. I'm so sorry about that. I don't understand people sometimes or their motivation. I guess evil is just evil. My family loves you and we watch your videos like we would watch a regular tv show. Except yours is better because it's every other day.
I absolutely love your videos and savor each upload. I really appreciate when you put in those relatable moments because it normalizes prioritization and that people's homes are not perfect all the time. My one comment recently is that there's definitely a change in sound level between your garden and kitchen and voiceover. I think this may be remedied by a clip on mic but I am not an expert and will defer to your expertise on the matter. Thank you so much for sharing your life with us.
I agree with using a clip on microphone. Sometimes I can hardly hear you
Becky your backyard and patio is looking so beautiful. The lawn, vegetable gardens and loving all the flower’s especially on the patio. I’ve never been one to grow flowers except a couple of flowering shrubs. However I now have 4 pots full of colourful flowers.
What a beautiful view from your sunroom while you're working. Plus the bouquet that you put together is just the cherry on top.
leaving us hanging on the contents of the box! 🤣 thank you for your honesty and transparency. you’re an inspiration to this baby homesteader!!
Love watching/ listening to your videos. I enjoy working on my own projects as I listen to you. We invested in freezer alarms and it saved us more than once. Keep up the great work
Thanks for sharing Becky! I enjoy seeing how your week goes, knowing that a few days were the same! I have to admit I want/need to see what is in the box also!!!! I really do not know why people who do not enjoy your content, watch and leave negative comments. I love all of your videos!
9:24 I love using that kind of detergent! I hate all of the plastic jugs and carrying water when I just need the detergent part so those laundry sheets are golden!!
Garden is looking good Becky ... I just harvested my garlic this evening and it turned out fabulous and really large cloves too , I feel so blessed and happy about it. Always wonderful to visit you ..
Becky, you did a house tour before you moved in…are you going to do a house tour now that you’ve moved in and decorated? Love to see how the paint choices worked with our decorating. So sorry about the freezer….Thank you for sharing your true feelings about it. Any loss deserves going through the grief process.. Bless you and your family.
Hi Becky!! I just want to say of all you do the thing I’m most impressed by is your ability to do laundry before you even set your coffee pot! That is truly being a super woman!! I hardly breath before I turn mine in each morning.
I’m teasing. You are an amazing young woman! Thanks for sharing all you do!!
Hi Becky, i am so sorry your freezer defrosted and you lost all of that hard work. I have a deep freezer and have been wanting an upright, but now, maybe I should stick with my deep freezer. My favorite thing about your channel is that you share your successes and failures, it makes me so motivated to keep going with things I enjoy. My 4 month old is teething currently and only wants momma, so things are not getting done as I would like, but that’s ok, my baby needs me. Sending love from Texas
Thank you for bring us along for a day in your life. Sometimes its a nice change. You talking about taking your son to the pool brought back memories of when i use to take my son to the community pool on the Air Force base we were stationed at. I cherish those memories and hold them close to my heart. You keep being you and loving on that sweet little family of yours. Like i have said before, thank you for taking is along on your journey. You've come so far!
Becky, this was a great video. It was so interesting to see everything that goes on behind the scenes. I appreciate all of your hard work to bring us such great content.
I loved this week in the life style video! It was cool to see behind the scenes and learn some of your process. Thanks for sharing! You are always so kind to open your door for us 😊
We relate to you because you're authentic,I was upset over your freezer door being left open too because I know how much hard word you put in to prepping your freezer meals.I really enjoyed this video Becky,I have learnt so much from you,park your guilt over the freezer,you will have it full in no time 💜💜💜
Hi Becky! I don’t think I’ve ever seen you in a light color! You look gorgeous in white!
I wanted to thank you for all the tips you give us. It inspires me so much!
I hope Baby Acre is doing well. I miss seeing that little foot we got to see a couple times. 🙏❤️
Oh no! That’s when you left the freezer door open, isn’t it? My heart and mind were with you sweetheart. I’ve lost two freezers full of meat etc., when we lost power a few years ago during some rolling brown-outs here in SoCal and I didn’t make sure that the freezers would automatically just turn back on when the power came back on. Even though the freezers weren’t open, I left for a few days to help take care of my mom before she passed away, and came home to two freezers full of rotten food! That was the year we were having 115° heat waves, and two of my stand up freezers are under my covered deck out back. My other chest freezers in my storage area in my garage were okay. Ahhhh…it broke my heart and what a waste of money. Few thousand $ worth of beef, pork and chicken and vegetables, frozen fruit and several freezer meals. Not to mention the time, labor and love I spent on that! And what a mess! Hubby got little alarms for them that notifies me through their app if they’re not closed properly or the temperature falls below freezing. I think he got them at Home Depot, can’t remember. With just the two of us now (near our 70’s) I’ve had to adjust my recipes, so I love that you mention when you are doubling or tripling a recipe, same as Jamerrill does. I need the option to scale down or prepare a freezer meal for the future. So TY for that. We appreciate you so much for sharing with us and explaining the why’s and possible options in your recipes. I know I’m speaking for many when I ask if you are considering writing a cookbook sometime in the future? Much love and admiration from SoCal.
Following some Nasty people's comments...They r the ones with problems not u...Please do not let them give u a moment of hurt as I think that is what they do...Some r the same mean nasty trolls that r on others channels and they go out of their way to be spiteful and say some really nasty comments...let them be don't take them seriously..ur r a wonderful breath of Fresh air to us older women that learn from u...I am 69 years old and love every minute u give us... Please keep on doing what you do...
I truly do not understand why people leave such nasty comments. What is going on in their lives that makes them do that? It’s incomprehensible to me. If you don’t like a video, then just don’t watch. Why be mean? I just don’t get it.
I think what you say about being self-employed is so true! The temptation to do "work stuff" all the time or procrastinate is a balance that is so difficult sometimes! It is something I have had to do, as well. Scheduling the time and remembering to stick to that schedule is pretty important to maintain a good work-life balance, while still being flexible enough to address whatever challenges might arise. Thanks so much for sharing!
I always fold or hang up my laundry when it comes out of the drier...gets the job done faster, as well as saves some wrinkles in the material, etc, and I can stack the laundry easier in the baskets if they are folded, and I sort at the same time...jeans in this pile, socks in that, so they are easier to put away not going back and forth between drawers, closets, etc
I grow lots of flowers... zinnia s , scabiosa and salvia...red white and blue all year so i have instant decorations...And of cc ourse outside of veggies bed i grow ROSES...if you have gophers or whatever...i plant all shrubs prone to eating in wire cages around roots and sticking above ground.
Godspeed

Becky,as a single mom of 5 most of my life,I learnt to b self sufficient BUT when I finally asked for help I was surprised to see how many of my family and neighbors were rooting for me,d ones who wanted me to fail and gloated about my failures r d ones who I ignored! Ignore d nasty comments and just keep on being ur real self,learnt so much watching ur channel! From Trinidad,all d best and I will keep watching!
Oh man, i would LOVE LOVE LOVE to have a room surrounded by windows that i can sit back and relax in.
Thanks for taking us along on a week of work and all your to dos. ❤
By the way, my laundry usually sits for 2 or 3 day's before i can fold it. 😂😂😂
Aw thanks so much! I love it too :)
So does my laundry 😂 However, my elderly mother has recently moved in and she loves folding laundry. We take a basket of dry laundry into our lounge room, when we come back in, it’s all folded 😂 But, in all seriousness, it helps Mum feel like she can help with something. She isn’t able to do a lot of the things she used to, so helping out with this helps her
I hadn’t seen this video before and was listening to it as I was working on my computer. And then I ordered an alarm for my garage freezer! I’m so sorry this happened to you!
Really love that your title is very explicit & lets people know exactly what the video is about. I personally tend not to watch videos that aren't explicit about the content as I tend to think of it like clickbait.
I just ordered the freezer & frig alarm that notifies you by email if a problem exists. The thought of losing the contents of my full freezer made me shudder. My freezer is in the garage so an alarm sounding wouldn't be heard. Thanks for telling us about the alarm. So sorry about all those lost meals which I watched you make. It's hard to see it now but you've just added a story to your family lore. Someday your kids will love to hear the story. Cheers, cookie, life happens ready or not. Love from Philadelphia.
What kind did you get? I couldn’t figure out what kind Becky got.
It broke my heart to see you having to deal with the freezer door issue especially after seeing all the hard work you put in to make the freezer meals. Just wanted to give you a big hug!
If you're looking for a white microfiber cloth, you can find one at 10:20 to 10:26. 😊 I assume it's microfiber. Those things are the worst for clinging to other laundry.
I really love seeing behind the scenes and yep even the snippets of you relaxing watching TV or editing on your laptop. There are days that REST is all I get done and I'm okay with that.
I love seeing you wear your Park City sweatshirt. I’m 20 minutes away in a Heber City. I just went to the Redmond store here and got a soil test kit and found out my plants needed Potash. Thanks for the recommendation. My garden thanks you!
Your yard is just spectacular and the garden OMG enjoy being
out there with you and baby
I stumbled upon your channel and it’s quickly become on of my favorite channels to watch! I am a homemaker and love what I do! I typically watch your videos while I get my work done around the house! It’s super motivating! ❤
We went away on a vacation during the summer. When we got back we knew immediately that something happened ( if you know what I mean!). A breaker in the garage flipped for some reason and we lost TWO freezers! Actually one was a refrigerator/ freezer, and the other was an upright freezer. I just stood there and cried. All the work I put into that freezer😳😭. Just broke my heart. The freezer came back on, but the surge broke the refrigerator, so we then had to buy another one.
another blow the heart $$$.
I’m sorry this happened to you. You work so hard to preserve food, and to have to throw it away in heartbreaking. You are greatly appreciated and I look forward to your videos each week. Thank you for what you do.
You have become a Mother, thats a full time task. Grace is what you give yourself, you are so right about you can't always get what you planned. I look forward to any video you put out, i am 72 year old woman, and i love learning new ways of doing things.
Becky,im so glad i found your channel!! I watch every single one,you are amazing and very inspiring to me!!!
I love watching what you do. It’s restful to me and I learn a lot from your life. You are awesome.
Hi Becky, I have been where you are with the freezer a couple of times. My issues was letting little kids shut the door, and not checking it (I'm the adult I should have checked). Its hard, but like you we got systems in place to prevent it happening again. Keep going, you are doing a great job!
You Becky, are amazing....where you get your energy from....I don't know 👍. Block the silly messages....these people could not do half of what you do. Keep doing what you're doing for us, your genuine followers. Sending hugs of appreciation xxxx 🐻🌻🐻🎉👋
My Mom was a stay at home mama and as her child I must say, it is the greatest gift. We love your channel! I am learning so much from your gardening videos! Oh and watching your freezer video, we know how you felt. We had a long power outage here a long time ago but I remember it lasted so long that everything went bad. I remember how heartbroken we were too to have to throw out so much food.
Becky, your garden is looking beautiful. I am so jealous. It was certainly worth putting the structure in before you began. Thanks for sharing your week.
I had a great weekend thanks to your inspiration! I harvested almost 5lbs of jalapeños Sat morning, came in and canned 3 recipes. Sun i was able to get enough cookies for husband to pull an bake whenever in the freezer. Always say thanks Becky when ive put away "later food". Hubby used to not believe in later cookies until he saw a zip loc w 48 little balls and he can chose 5, 6 or however many he wants at a time. He has the power now! Lol, later food is a running joke here.
Thank you for a wonderful video. You really work hard, but it’s evident that you are enjoying your life!
