Saw some comments about baby sling and neck support aaand I decided to chime in...I was in africa and the women there place their babies on their backs in a sling and they have their little heads hanging out while they work their feilds in the blistering heat. I would say that their babies are much stronger than our babies that we coddle in the name of safety. I'm not against safety but the rest of the world isn't as blessed as we are so they don't really spend all that time looking at swings, slings, and carseats and yet they survive. You take good care of your family. They are alive, healthy and have parents that love and take care of them. What more do little ones need? Blessings to you mama. Your amount of work at home is impressive
I am very happy when your vide shows up. Widowed and 74 now having to live-in an apartment, I still cook from scratch and do some freezing and preserving. Your videos allow me to remember fondly when our children were small, living on our little farm. Thank you and blessings to you.
Awe. Bless you!🌻🤗
@@jbee4874 Thank you J Bee.
@@christinebrush4399 your welcome! 🤗🌻💓💖
Isn't it beautiful ❤🎉
Your baby is so cute!! He peeks around the backpack and looks right into the camera with his huge eyes ☺️😍. I love your videos, but your baby kind of steals the show! 💛
I was going to say that as well. Watching little Benji poke his head around, shoulder and looking into the camera is so cute. It's great big eyes just kind of steal the show.
Those little peeping eyes over your shoulder were just adorable! " umm mom, who are we talking too?"
I get lots of inspiration from your videos preparing food. One thing though you kept referring to yourself as lazy when you were talking about your garlic. You are the most industrious and focused person ever in these videos with 7 children. I am astonished what you manage to get done in a day. I wouldn’t ever thing of you as lazy. Maybe tired. Thank you for your videos.
Absolutely! The trouble with that kind of thinking is if you are ever down with an illness, the guilt from not being your usual industrious self, can really make you sicker. ( the guilt over being sick for so long actually led to me thinking i wasn't of any use and i became suicidal) I was a very busy young woman, and this happened to me. Thankfully I am better and at age 60 back to canning nd freezing and gardening and all of that! I am in Ohio too! I love Ohio and by the time winter comes I am worn to a frazzle! lol! ( I had no idea other people braided their garlic!) You are not lazy! Your a very industrious human!
Lmao I just love how your baby keeps looking around you all big eyes, like who are you talking to mom? CUTE!
Benjamin is just absorbing all your advice. Will he become a homesteader, a chef, or a vlogger?
Maybe all three or something we’ve never dreamed of.
Loved seeing your sweet baby watching you talk and squirming around 😊
I'm going back and watching older videos of yours and Benjamin is stealing the show! I can't stand how cute he is.
Love your teachings, your interactions with your children, your industriousness. You are far far, from lazy; you are human; and in my opinion a bit super human.
Thank you for all you do!
Omgoodness ❤️ Benji is so cute... ❤️his little face peeping over your shoulder 🙂
Your little one peeking around, so precious!!
Very good video, learned a lot. The kids are adorable. So Sweet
Happy belated birthday. I can’t comprehend what in this informative video would evoke a thumbs down. Two thumbs up if I could. Love seeing Benjamin peeking around!
I really like your voice and the way you explain everything! God bless your family!🤗
Blessings to all!
You are such an amazing mom and your kids are wonderful. Thank you for sharing these tips on butternut squash and garlic olive oil cubes. I'm still learning...🙃🙃. Have a blessed day....✝️✝️
I found your you tube channel this week so i will be perusing your sight. Can’t help but laugh at Benjamin. If he could speak he would probably wonder what you are doing talking to a camera!!! Just the way he keeps looking around your shoulder. Cute cute.
Love that I shave found your channel.
Thank you for a informative video. Love watching your lovely children playing outside. God bless you.
6k subs!wow. That's so great. Thank you for sharing all this info. My kids can't tolerate too much garlic but a few love it . I'm going to experiment with garlic infused oil . I'm going to try growing only every second year too. Then preserving it like this for those that can have it. My 15 yr old actually spreads it thick like peanut butter on his sourdough. Lol. That's way too much for me but he's so healthy. Thank you for sharing xxoo
The baby is just adorable,sweet ,little angellet.So cute indeed.And it's such a lovely picture to watch a mother working and her baby asleep on her back,and then the sibling come and lick the puree on the spoon,just so cosy and adorable.Keep making videos.Blessings🤗
I loved seeing your little guy helping you in the kitchen. He was so proud of himself, so precious.
I love it! Your children are so adorable. Thank you for all the tips today. I am learning so much from you.
I watch your videos repeatedly. I have learned so much from your channel.
I love this video so much! It is great to see a healthy interaction between a Mother and her children. Soothing. Thank you!
What a blessing to watch you and your family. In these trying times, it is so nice to see a family growing in love and sharing your experiences in every day life. God bless
So cute how your baby is peaking over your shoulder!
Thanks for sharing all your great tips! I’m totally in awe of how hard you work and all that you do. Seeing your beautiful children always warms my heart ❤️
I’ve got 110 cloves of garlic planted, my first try. Thank you for this! I’ve been trying to figure out how I’m going to preserve the bulk of it! I really enjoy watching you and your family 🌺
You are an amazing woman and mother! I just love seeing your videos ☺️ I'm going to try the garlic trick. And I'm doing the same with our last butternut squash. Thanks for sharing about the apples! Now I'm looking forward to our trees blooming even more 😍.
Love getting the pleasure to hang out with you in your kitchen 💕 Great tip on the garlic!
You’re great but sorry MAMA Benjamin steals the show!!! She is so flipping cute popping over your shoulder!!! Who turned 40!!! HBD 🎁. That garlic trick is the best I been doing it for a while. I never use fresh garlic always chopped and in a huge jar in olive oil in fridge.
When you are peeling a lot of garlic or onions you can save all the dry skins for the kids to make homemade paper. There are probably lots of UA-cam videos on how to. If you don’t have enough skins you can always mix with other things which was my favorite way. I would save waste paper and separate by different colors so that when I pulverized the paper in a blender of water I could throw in some more brightly colored paper to create a pastel then I would mix in the skins until they soaked up some of the water before putting in the mold. It would create a light rustic yet almost lacy look to the paper. It was great for them to write letters to grandparents on or use for gift wrapping to add a wonderful homemade look to the gift.
I'm so glad I found your channel. I just love watching you and learning from you! Your kids are adorable and obviously very loved!!
Great ideas! I will definitely use the garlic process for my excess before it's past it prime. Thank you!
Love that you have your little one with you, he can feel the love of mommy🤗❤ does his neck or head ever hurt or achy, that can not be good on spine C4 and C5 or more 22:06. Sorry just worried and wondering that it can cause future problems as he grows
Love❤️ you guys
I have been learning so many great ideas from your videos. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us.
I was so excited to see a new video! Excellent tips, thank you! I freeze everything in my ball jars as well. What I do is keep the box my ball jars came in and I keep the jar divider that came with it. Once I place the jars inside, it cushions the jars somewhat and keeps a them from touching. If it doesn’t have a divider, I just cut up a cereal box to fit between the jars. It’s a little tedious I know, but I’ve broken and lost too many jars and it’s contents. Have a blessed day!
I loved two new things for me! The way you separate the pumpkin seeds with water; and the garlic cubes! I'm going to try them. Thank you! I love cooking too ♥️
Blessings to you and your family
There are a lot of words I would use to describe you and lazy is not one of them! ♥️
I know little Benjamin is older, I've just started following you and he's an inquisitive little blessing of joy!! But man oh man was he a good baby for that entire video! He looks just like you!! May God continue to bless you and your family! ❤️❤️
Wonderful vlog!! I'm so glad you showed the consistency of the garlic. I was sitting here wishing I could see it, and then you show it. :) So far I've done so great on the pantry challenge! YAY, go me!! I don't post much ever on IG, but wanted to mention how it was going. I've been working on tiling our huge shower, (two yrs later) and now grouting it. Trying to get it done so there will be a shower available for my daughter who will be having her baby in about 4 weeks at my house! The excitement and nervousness is getting real! God Bless
You have inspired me to use my time so much more efficiently! I love your “every bit counts” and I realize it works for my languishing produce as well as my fleeting moments! Thank you for sharing your life with all of us. What we do in our homes for our families is most valuable!
Great tips and encouragement to be mindful of our resources. Loved seeing your sweet babies too.
🥰
You are such a great Mom❤
Hello! I came across your channel searching for homesteading. I have subscribed and look forward to watching your videos. Nice to meet you.
Great ideas, I’ve used them when needing to freeze my eggs. The only problem I had was getting them out of the silicone so I started spraying t(em with non s5ick spray which help p. Than’ yo7 for the tips today! I didn’t know about the butternut squash tasting the same as pumpkin so I will be using that as well in the future. Hugs and love from Texas!
Love your patience with your children......
I love the little hand reaching up to touch your hair.
Excellent. I will try that with garlic next time, blessings
Hi! I just found you a few weeks ago and I am loving your videos. You are so genuine and your family is precious! I love watching your videos after a crazy work day.
I use a a pint jar to shake my garlic with a lid and ring. Would probably work in a quart jar also.
1st, HAPPY BIRTHDAY🎉🎉🎉 (a little late🙈)
2nd, YaY for a video... I was having withdrawals, lol. We've been getting back into routine as well, and boy, the struggle is real! I pray you have a blessed weekend with Adam and the children 🥰
i like the freeze cubes ideas. great idea.
I do the same process with my boiled eggs when making deviled eggs. You just add a tiny bit of water in the container with the eggs and the peels will come right off.
Can't wait to try making the garlic puree
I feel the same way about garlic. I puree mine with a bit of oil too. When I freeze it, I put it in freezer bags and flatten out the bag so that there is a "slab" of garlic puree in there. I freeze it flat and it makes it really nice to break off as much as you need when cooking.
Hope you get a root cellar. Check out The Modern Self Reliance Channel of them building a very neat root cellar. You are so sweet with your kids, so loving, and such cute kids. You are very blessed.
Love this video 🙏❤️🙏❤️☮️
I put garlic in a canning jar with the lid on it and shake it up, whoever came up with the idea to do this was genius.
Love your videos. You are such a good Mama.
Looks like little Ben needs a little more neck support to hold up his head properly
He is fine. Sleeps perfectly back there and if it's for a while one if the big kids helps me snap on the neck support. Problem is that process usually wakes him.
I so admire you. I have only 2 kids. 16 months old and 5 years old. You are so patient with your kids...they are so well behave. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong but my kids are so full of energy sometimes, I'm losing my mind, they are crying I'm crying...I can't imagine having any more children. I guess I'm not a mother "of the year ". I'm trying my best. Many blessings.
This is a difficult time. The fact that you recognize that you're struggling is a big step. Don't sweat the small stuff. Jessica's kids are well-behaved. They're also busy and engaged. Get your kids to help you fold laundry. It won't be perfect. That's okay. They'll be happy to help and they'll love hanging out with you. Make up silly songs to get them to do what you need. "It's clean up time. It's clean up time. Time to put the toys away. Everybody help." Let some stuff go. Nobody's going to see the dust bunnies. We're in a pandemic. Play with your kids. Read to them. Playing outside or dancing inside burns energy and makes for better, longer naps. Routine is really important. Do the same things in the same order at the same time every day as much as possible. Nobody needs a bath EVERY day. Scrambled eggs and toast is dinner. Ask for help or support. Light and love to you, momma. xoxo
@@jbetz6938 thanks for encouraging me. It means a lot...I'm trying my best it doesn't work like I would like to. Again I will try relax more and not stress over small things.
@@karolinaWilliams8007 another thing that really helps me is to plan ahead. I'll cook a whole pound of pasta even though we won't eat it all. Refrigerate the leftovers and have two more meals half done. Little kids can be a handful, but it gets easier. ;)
Put a small amount of cardboard between the jars and put them in warm water to thaugh😊
I learned so much today. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for this awesome video your babies are so cute God bless you 🌹
I saw on other channel they use garlic as dewormer for their chickens. Hope that makes you feel better! Really enjoy your videos.
Have you ever tried just peeling the outer paper off the loose stuff, then taking a knife and just cutting the tips off leaving the bulb whole and drizzling oil over it and roasting it? After you roast them all you have to do is squeeze it out into container and you can freeze it.
Thanks for the video. Your sweet baby….❤️❤️❤️
Benjamin is a beautiful little boy with those gorgeous big eyes. I've noticed your new little girl favors Benjamin
Always so enjoyable.
I roasted a bunch of acorn squash seeds one time and I think they were better than pumpkin seeds. I think they weren’t as tough as pumpkin seeds.
Pour boiling water over the cloves and the peels slide right off....😊
i usually buy no.2 garlic and i just peel them then put in a container and a bit of oil in it put the lid on it shake so all gets coated in oil and then into the freezer so easy
I use ice trays, blender my garlic and put it in the ice trays. When it freezes I put in Ziploc bags. I don't use any oil or spices to it. It works awesome for me. I realize i do add water to help it, i think.
Love the thumbnail with the little one peeking out behind you. 🤱🏾
Love watching your videos. I am also from Ohio. I think we may have had “breakfast together “ at a hotel in Napoleon Ohio at the end of August. We were dropping our daughter off at BGSU for her 2nd year. We are from the Cleveland area. Did you happen to be in Napoleon?
I alway learn.
I love your information
Love watching the baby peek over your shoulder💙
Just popping by to say 'hi! 👋 I've been doing the pantry challenge too (since Christmas). I've never frozen garlic puree before. Does it change the flavor?
Hi!!! So glad to hear from you. It doesn't change the flavor at all. Tastes the same to me.
Do you process pumpkin the same as squash. I love fresh pumpkin pies. Do you make pumpkin pies.
Love your channel ❤️
Y'all are just lovely!!!! Praise and all Glory to God!!! Jesus loves you!!! 1 Corinthians 15:1-4!!!
Once your cubes are frozen, why not pop them out of the cube trays and place in another container, so you don't lose the use of your cube trays for other things.
I typically do that once I need the cube tray again. I don't really think to do it until I need to use the tray.
Are you worried about how the baby’s head falls back when he’s sleepy n. I would think he would have a neck ache
Not worried at all
Ive started to freeze some things in glass because of your examples. Do you only use canning jars or do you sometimes freeze in say, a glass pickle jar?
That is someone was looking over your shoulder. That was so cute. Hello Benjamin. Here's a kiss for you💋💗
How do you grow and braid garlic?
I have a video on braiding garlic
❤️
4:03 Peek a boo!
How do you flash freeze at home?
Freeze flat on cookie sheets and then move to containers.
