Wonderful chat. Happy you will be able to stay home with your little ones. You know what is best for your family. Great to be prepared for whatever happens. Thank you for sharing. 🙏😊👏
Keeping a well stocked pantry definitely eases my anxiety- yesterday i tested positive for covid and am very under the weather (yes, i am vaxed and boosted- my personal choice) I live alone and hate to lean on others. Because my pantry is well stocked, i have all i need for myself and my kitties and don't need to ask for help. The only commodity that cannot be replaced is time Tori- and your precious little ones are only this age once- i applaud your efforts to spend more time with them and wish you all of the very best! ❤
I totally agree! Oh no, sorry to hear that! I am sending all of my positive and healing thoughts ❤️🥰 so happy you are prepared for you and your kitties 🥰 thank you for your kind words of support, and I hope you can have some relaxing days ahead ❤️
I quit my job 22 years ago when I had my first child. It was a leap of faith as it cut our income in half. We have not regretted it for one day. I consider my job to be saving money by being fugal and creative in the way we use our funds. Sometimes it was hard, but we never went hungry. I have homeschooled all of our children, my youngest daughter has one more year 😢. None of them have ever complained that they were homeschooled, they are thankful. I have been truly blessed to be able to spend all of these years raising and teaching my children, it was the best decision my husband and I have ever made. You will love it! And I am sure you will be a great teacher!
This is a really beautiful comment, thank you for coming on and saying so :) I truly appreciate your perspective on this! Cheers to you Mama you are rocking it!
@@MountainMommaLiving Thanks. I like to leave an encouraging comment when I hear someone is making a decision to homeschool. It seems like there are plenty of people who question a parents’ ability and wisdom that I like to let people know (from a person who has actually done it) that it can be such a good experience, not without challenges, but so fulfilling and rewarding. ❤️
What an awesome video. Sometimes the best are the ones that go 'off topic' as you said. You never know who needs to hear what. Thanks for sharing. Hope you have a great weekend!
Great job prepping and preparing! My advice is to just take one year at a time with schooling. It might work for a year and you decide to do something different the next year because of location change or anything else. The best advice I can give is to not think too long in the future. Take each season as it comes. It’s hard not to do that but try to keep that in mind. My biggest worries are when I’m trying to plan too far in the future. It adds too much stress and honestly, it’s pointless. Things will work out.
Thank you! I love this :) This is amazing advice and the comment that resonates the most, I so appreciate you reminding me about planning too far ahead, I absolutely agree :)
I’m so glad it helped. I think I need the reminder at times as well. It’s just something we all want to do - plan plan plan .. but we can’t always do that. Try to be prepared, yes. But let things play out also. 💕
Tori your genuine concern for others who are struggling is inspiring. I have to say that with all the events over the past few years we would love to live off grid.
THANK YOU so much for sharing such a great conversation about prepping and caring for your family! Your love and concern for your family is really what comes through, and I love that you're giving a voice to that motivation for prepping. 💙
We are prepared with well over one and a half years of resources. We maintain a garden and can or dehydrate any excess. We follow a gray man approach - not letting friends and neighbors know we are preppers. Things are about to get rough - especially for those that have not prepared.
We only food shop at Kroger. My son used to work in produce there and is very good at looking for sales and mark downs. When my husband retired from one job, he assumed he could find another job right away. He was out of work for 6 months. We had a nice food stock pile and that is what we lived on during that time. He is now a true believer in keeping a good store of foods so we are both on the same path. My son does our grocery shopping for us becuse he is very thorough in finding deals, sales, keeping an inventory or foods on hand and such. My husband and I worked opposite shifts for years to avoid daycare and when I quit work we actually broke even due to commute time, lunches out, etc.
At Kroger this week I got: Grapes .99/pound Apples .99/pound Chicken .99/pound Avocados .57/each Tortillas .97/pack Those were my stock up items this week from our kroger. And I also stocked up on...oh...i to get the name...but the heat things that you use for catering. I bought 25 of them. YES!! I open my pantry and I like pat myself on the back....I've worked my tail off stocking that pantry....which has legit overflows to other places😂😂😂 but we are basically prepping for 5 adults....(I'm including my daughters fiance) everyone needs to have some stuff put up....I mean...look at Shanghai 😭 You will do great being home. It's amazing the money and time you will save!! I loved being home and can't wait till I'm home again. My problem now is.....I love my patients!! But when I'm home...lol....I love cooking, gardening, having the house in order, I love having dinner on the table when my husband gets home....I even love laundry when I dont have to rush😂😂😂 plus .......a homeschool day is much shorter than a school day...and kids dont have to spend the whole night doing homework on top of being at school all day. Plus....there are usually homeschool groups...for kids to get together and do field trips, sports or picnics etc. Tell me how those bowl things are from walmart. I picked them up...but put them back for something else.
Yes I love this cost breakdown! Thank you for taking the time to share ❤️🥰 you are sweet to prep for him too hehe! Oh goodness yes so so excited for the transition!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Several years ago my husband's company was ready to do a lay off and we knew the decision was going to be between him and a married man with two children in being kept in that department. I told him to quit and let the other man keep the job. I told him if I needed him to find work I would let him know. We learned we saved more than expected with him no longer commuting to work, maintaining a professional wardrobe, etc, that we are only down maybe $50 a week. I was easily able to make up for it and even on just my income, we have never done better. I know you will do this!
That was very kind if you to allow the other person to have the position ❤️ This is all so true, I am hoping to keep ourselves on a budget! Thank you for your support and connection, that means a lot to me ❤️😀
If you homeschool from the start it is all your kids will know, so they won’t really care about public school. I come from public schooling and the most difficult thing has been realizing that teaching at home is not be comparable
You are such a kind and tender hearted person. I know I have said this before, but I truly adore you. I understand exactly what you’re feeling. I’m in my mid 40s and I have 1 grandchild and another on the way. My kids are grown and are both in the military, but I think about how things will be for them and their babies. No matter what you or I believe, we are all people and we need to survive. Bless you!
Hey Tori, I love your talks with us. I think it’s great that your going to be able to grow with your kiddos as you stay home with them & teach them. You will find that you won’t really be missing that much monetarily. You will be saving on gas, eating out at lunch, babysitter, wear/tear on vehicle etc. but even with that, the special bond between your family is priceless and well worth any sacrifice. I haven’t been big shopping in a bit so haven’t checked out sales flyers but I did a little shopping this morning. I was so shocked that the carton of 18 eggs that was less than $2 a few weeks ago, is now over $4 at Walmart. Anyways. Thanks for caring for others and for sharing your lives with us. I love the videos. Have a great weekend.
Hey there and thank you, I love chatting with you all ❤️🥰❤️ I so agree, so many positives to weight out the fear of intentional job loss. Woah that is a killer deal! Thanks for always being an awesome support ❤️🥰
I am glade to have a stocked up pantry. I just got over a stomach flu it knocked me out for a week and put me in the hospital for 2 days I am do glade I have food on hand because I couldn't barley move so going to the store would of been hard! Great price on the apples! Honey crisp are so expensive
I just started home schooling this year. This is my first time its a journey but as some one in Colorado I don't agree with the schooling. My daughter was being bullied and it was not being taken care of. And she is on a IEP and was getting ignored on much needed help. So I applaud you for your change! I have a severe anxiety I had to stop working because it was the medical field and with covid with a auto immune disease i didn't want to chance it. Never be ashamed of the reason your quitting your salary for your family needs. As I have said before I grew up with hippies in a commune I have grown up around off the grid thats why I love your videos I love to watch them
@@TheRiseAndFallOfJasmine that is awesome Mama! I am sure she is loving the time together ❤️🥰 so sorry you had that experience with the IEP team, I think you did the right thing. Sending all of my healing energy your way!!! I appreciate you ❤️
Hey Mountain Momma Living, I just wanted to say I love your videos! I'm graduating with a SPED teaching degree in December and I'm also really into long term food storage. We also grow some of our food and raise chickens. Plus I have a 2 y/o son. I'm in NC, but I feel like we'd be good friends if we met or taught at the same school. Haha I love your vibe! Keep putting out awesome content, I'm here for it!🙌 Edit: During my student teaching(in hs), I've seen a lot of kids that are hungry. In my classroom I keep a basket with granola bars, crackers, and stuff like that. I get the stuff for free or very little cost through couponing. I also keep another basket of hygiene items like soap, toothbrushes, and pads. When I'm on lunch duty, I see lots of kids that are coming up short to pay for $3 meals from the cafeteria and to be honest, these meals aren't providing the nutrition a teenager needs. It just breaks my heart so I'm trying to do what I can to help my students.
Hey there ❤️🥰 thank you for saying so, you can call me Tory hehe, I bet we would get along that is for sure ❤️🥰 I love that!! Such a great idea ❤️🥰 my district has been doing free lunches for all this year thank goodness ❤️❤️❤️ I so appreciate you watching 🥰
@@MountainMommaLiving Thank you Tory! I wish my county would have free lunches for the kids. They did in 2020, but discontinued it this school year. 💔 It's a good feeling to see the supply baskets being utilized. ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Tory👋👋👋 Great hauls, you intrigued me with your Ice Melt IPA drinks, I’m very clueless about them but see those types of beverages, whenever I’m around my nephew & his wife, they enjoy them, I’m gonna have to taste them next time I’m w/them, which should be relatively soon bc my 1st “great niece” Delaney Rae is scheduled to be delivered on May 4th, I’m so excited, her original due date was the 17th but she’s ready, anyhoo, very interesting drinks🤔 I’m proud of you for making the decision to stop working, at this time, bc why work when the only monetary benefit of it covers the cost of childcare and the gas, that’s crazy, IMO so rather than doing that you get to spend the time w/your littles and save that money for whatever, besides it doesn’t mean that you won’t go back to teaching, in the future, after your littles are established in their schooling, so bravo👏👏👏 You also can see how much more you can do with your online shop etc, you’re so talented👍👍👍 I enjoy you so much, you’re such a kind soul🫶 I hope you have a wonderful weekend, enjoy and be happy♥️💫✨👼🏻✨💫♥️
Hehe yes please do they are so so yummy! Yay for Delaney Rae!! What a beautiful name ❤️🥰 I am so thankful to you and your support, it means the world to me ❤️
I am so excited for you that you’re going to be home with the kiddos. I think you’ll be fine budget wise because you won’t be paying for daycare or gasoline for that long commute. That has to be a huge chunk of money! I really love this kind of video, I don’t know why I am so interested in what everyone else is buying grocery wise, and yet here we are 🤷🏻♀️ I went grocery shopping yesterday, holy cow prices have gone up. A dozen eggs $2.79 at ALDI! Milk was almost $3 a gallon. If I had been wearing pearls I would have been clutching them. I did find strawberries that were $2.49 a pound and they were huge and delicious. I’m going back for more. Enjoy your weekend Tory!!
Hi Tory =) its chilly here in PA. I love your kind hearted honesty. As a wife and mom of Eagle Scouts. . . Your husband is an Eagle. "Once an Eagle. . . Always an Eagle." Enjoy your weekend with your babies!
Hi Tory, I always love your videos. Great hauls. I usually get my pasta and canned goods from Walmart. They have better prices where I live. I can find better produce at the other 2 grocery stores. With fresh items it’s a challenge to not buy more than I can consume. I made your potato recipe and that was so delicious. I would like to see an update on your garden. I love how you include your helpers when you cook and go about your everyday activities. ❤️😊
Hey there and thank you!! I so agree, great prices ❤️ oh goodness yes I have the same issue with that hehe. Yay will be doing, it is looking pretty boring right now haha! Hehe yay my favorite part of cooking 🥰
You gotta do what makes sense to you and your family emotionaly and financially. Child care is so expensive these days! I see my friends spend so much money on it, almost someones entire salary😳 great vlog🥰 prepping is definitely the way to go though. I am trying to encourage friends to do so but they aren't ready for it. I guess it's not for everyone 🤗💜
Hey Tory! Great video! I totally get it. Although I’m still cleaning 2 houses a week. I was cleaning 11-14 so it’s a big decrease in pay but we’re happy! And I did have that fear a little bit of geez should I quit lol but everything has worked out.
Always wonder why no dry goods, beans and flour ever is bought! If electric power is off, most of the food will spoil. No long term food for storage None! please get a few 50lb bags of rice/beans at the very least. Cooking oil gallon or larger containers too. You will need them soon. Your money will not be wasted.
You should definitely check out my other videos, I stock up every week, and have been for three years. I have plenty of dry goods, I purchase them in bulk from Azure Standard. I am not worried about the power going off, I have survived it before. My money is never wasted, we like to keep a variety. Thank you for your suggestions though, it will be helpful for others ❤️
You should let your viewers donate to your channel via PayPal, Patreon, or Buy Me A Coffee so that you’ll have another source of income when you quit your teaching job. There’s nothing wrong asking for donation when you are providing value to your viewers.
🥰🥰
❤️❤️🥰🥰
awesome haul, Tory! you are stocked and ready :)
Thanks so much Molly! ❤️🥰
Wonderful chat. Happy you will be able to stay home with your little ones. You know what is best for your family. Great to be prepared for whatever happens. Thank you for sharing. 🙏😊👏

Always wonder why no dry goods, beans and flour ever is bought! If electric power is off, most of the food will spoil.

You should let your viewers donate to your channel via PayPal, Patreon, or Buy Me A Coffee so that you’ll have another source of income when you quit your teaching job. There’s nothing wrong asking for donation when you are providing value to your viewers.
Thank you for the suggestion Peter! I will absolutely look into that, I appreciate you ❤️
