Is so refreshing to see a mother of many that prioritized her children beyond other duties. Children need lots love, attention, patience and understanding and having numerous children is important to give individual time to each so they grow up to be secure independent adults. Love, Faith, Health, Learning are the main priorities. Thanks for sharing!!
Seasoned mothers are such a delight to watch and be around. ❤
yes! as a first time mom it’s so helpful ❤
I love being a seasoned mum now lol. I feel like I know so many more hacks and am so much more reasonable and balanced hqhaha
“Just keep having kids” 😅 love this advice
Love how your egg spotter is already showing his little brother where all the hiding spots are. Love your family & would love to live your life. From Yorkshire in the UK xx
Love seeing the new baby. ❤ I'm 37 weeks, planning my 5th homebirth, and am so impatient to meet my new little guy.
Congratulations!
@@TracieSmithpomeranian thank you❤
Awww look at that sweet peanut on your shoulder 5:02 😊
I would love a video on postpartum nutrition! I am 40 + 3 with my 4th baby right now and am trying to focus on protein and hydration during the early postpartum period. I struggle to get enough protein and would love meal ideas.
I am 36 weeks with #5 and here are a couple of my favorite homemade high protein snacks!
- Cottage cheese blended with an equal amount of berries, a dash of almond milk, and stevia to taste
- Deviled eggs
- Collagen protein brownies (recipe online by nutritionistmom)
Personally i think meat and broths are a must
@@Xoxolexilexx I can't do broth. I have an allergic reaction 😬
You are beyond blessed....new baby, new puppy, a beautiful cat going to give you kittens soon and cows pregnant! CHEERS! you have it all...and a great husband, kids and farm! xo to you all! Nancy and Wally the Wiener Dog from OHIO
Love your videos! I'm almost 65 but i still love your channel. We live in Springfield, Missouri and I just love your farm. I have mobility issues where walking is very hard my balance is almost gone. So I just live through you. Would love to hear more on how you pick your working dog and more protein filled meals.
Ouph I love hearing you talking about babes being fine sleeping on their bellies, my little guy (my first child) only slept on his belly and I was told by everyone except my mother that it was incredibly dangerous. I think it was a major factor in my extreme postpartum anxiety! He refused swaddling from the get go, never took a pacifier and behaved like an upside down hedgehog when I tried to get him to sleep on his back haha! Grateful for his determination and my mama telling me that all was well despite the rest of the human race telling me otherwise. Grateful for your realness and guidance xx
Such a wise woman. I'm 70 with grandchildren and you are doing what we did back in the day. We used wisdom and didn't listen to the so called experts. God gave us women great instincts and we need to listen to them and have a few wise women we can go too. Great job!!
I love that you make having a newborn and doing all the housework so easy because you have a schedule and you know what to do and a lot things to do.
For me, one of the hard things being stay home is feeling alone. Just me and my baby. We don’t have a farm to take care of so I still can have times to rest. Which I’m thankful for.
But sometimes just feel lost and lonely.
We had a rule in my house when I had new born"s and little ones. My husband never went to work at school until I was showered and dressed. I felt the head of my day. It gave me a huge psychological buzz.
I got to spend some time in the garden yesterday without my 7 week old wrapped on me. She is on my 24/7 so I felt so free and efficient since I wasn’t pregnant or carrying a baby. Haha it’s the little things that make you happy when you have lots of little ones!
I am so impressed by your relaxed mothering style. You are sure to be helping other young mothers
Yes always get dressed. And if I might add… get up and dressed before the children get up! It made for getting up hitting the ground running much easier. From top of head to shoes. I may not always throw makeup on but hair is brushed and pulled up and shoes on. Also. All 7 of mine were total tummy sleepers. They slept so much better. And not one flat head ever!
My babies sleep on their tummies too! Built in tummy time and strong neck muscles! I think it also helps keep them from jerking themselves awake.
I’m loving this content lately. I’m 36 weeks with #5 and it’s helpful to remember the newborn stage is hard too, in its own way, so I can prepare for it better. By this point of pregnancy I just want to hold my baby and not be huge anymore. 😅
Week 32 with #5 over here! Just a few more weeks and we can hold our babys! ❤ All the best to you and your family! 😊
You seem to have it alltogether. As an empty-nester, I can say with 4, I never felt that way. Lol. I could of learned from someone like you. 😊
Thanks for sharing.
You are amazing. I only had one child and struggled. You are an inspiration.
currently in early labor with my 5th baby, trying to pass the time watching some YT. I too have 1 girl and 3 boys so well see how number 5 tips the scales haha- & having a homebirth too! thanks for posting and helping to distract me for a little while longer
What I think is crazy is that my grandmother wore all 8 of her babies while none of her children did. So when my sister and I wore our babies we were told that our babies were going to be spoiled. That’s only a difference of 1 generation which is insane to me.
Yes! That pendulum swing of opinions from the best thing ever to you're going to ruin your child, is so crazy to me!
I'm on day 6 with my first son and this video was a great reminder not to do it all but to do what I can ❤️
Lucky mom. I miss this so much. I'm jealous. I should have had more than two children
Great talk on nutrition. I’m so diligent during pregnancy but postpartum is SO much more challenging to stay on top of protein. I’m three weeks behind you with baby #5. I often find myself making the other four breakfast and lunch and feeding the baby multiple times before I realize I haven’t eaten much at all. Drinking lots of grass fed collagen and snacking on nuts + dates, but I definitely need more. Would love a talk diving a bit more into how you manage to get enough protein in this season.
Hi,
I like a lot of things you said. Eating enough protein is so important for so many reasons, having a low protein diet is bad for you not matter what age you are, also as a side note some cults will have their members eat a low protein diet since its easier to manipulate/control a person on a low protein diet. I wanted to add that when I don't eat whole grains for my carbs, that's when my blood sugar crashes the most. I only eat whole grains for my grains and I can tell a world of difference.
Seeing you with the baby reminds me of how hard it was to do anything when my three kids were babies and nursing them each for a year and a half. I held my babies the majority of the time and my babies hated being in a wrap. If I had to put the baby down I would place them in a bouncer and get a few chores done, this was very stressful since the babies would fuss and cry the whole time and that gives me so much anxiety to hear the baby cry and fuss for 5 minutes so I would pick up the baby. I washed clothed diapers everyday and hung them to dry. I was able to do laundry everyday but the clothes just stayed in separate laundry baskets. I usually had a sink full of dishes since the babies didn't like to be put down as well. I was so tired that I would fall asleep whenever I nursed for more than 5 minutes.
Most of the women I met during the baby seasons of my life would do the "cry it out thing" with their babies and I could never do that! I thought it was cruel to let a baby under 2 years old cry in their cribs until they fall asleep! I knew it was hard to hold the baby most of the time and co-sleep but I knew it was better for the baby and being their mom it was my job to care for their emotional and physical needs. I read a study that said babies who were held and had their needs met quickly were more emotionally mature as adults, this stuck with me and I wanted my kids to feel safe, secure and loved, no matter how hard it was on me to do that 24/7.
That how my dad was raised,. He was born on a small farm and my grandmother had to work in the garden and field so as baby he was laying in a small produce crate so he was safe while they worked.
I was so into baby wearing but my sister that is a school principal and did her masters in children raised on their moms back in South africa told me about a 20 year study done on depth perception developement deficit in babies that were " abbad" from birth. It scared me but when I become a mom after 20 years after my last born I remembered her words and just wore my baby facing front. He is 12 now and just like my first 2 kids also needs glasses so who knows.
Neuflora dresses are beautiful, but overpriced. I can buy three dresses on Amazon for the price of one Neuflora dress. Wish they were more affordable. I do love your videos! Very practical and so lovely! God bless your ministry to mothers on here. ❤️
Agreed!
Thank you for being realistic!!! I have a one month old and I often forget to give myself some grace on the housework. We can be our worst critics sometimes and it’s hard to remember the newborn phase doesn’t last forever.
It truly does fly by!!
Yes take care of yourself and the baby. That’s all that really matters. Get to the cleaning when you can but your peace provides peace for your tiny one ❤
Thank you so much for the video. I am loving them so much. You share so much knowledge mixed in to real life as a young mother and wife. Stephanie you are blessing.
You are doing absolutely amazing! I also need some short fencing as my mulch is constantly scattered from the birds grazing and making a mess!!
I agree, you just can’t get it all done and that’s ok. Your baby boy is growing and he is just the sweetest little darling. Your daughter is your mini me, she is gorgeous
You have a really great channel with down-to-earth, common sense information. Good job!
It's almost midnight here in Hungary, where I am watching you from. I just wanted you to know that your calm, experience and biblical motherhood reaches this far. May you and your lovely family be blessed in this wonderful season.
Koszonom.
@@melissagannon5711 Wow! I am touched! Nagyon szívesen! You are most welcome! I was not just flattering, but writing honestly. You should know how the Lord is stretching your reach and your lovely testimonies afar. :)
Thanks for sharing your life :) your battle with the chickens gave me a chuckle
I love the baby wearing!!!!
I agree with you. I feel a lot more productive on days where I take some extra time to get myself somewhat together.
What a wonderful way to live ❣️ I really love your videos and how down to earth you are!😊
Love your videos! A breath of fresh air and normalcy. ❤
I have two Great Pyrenees. They are the best.
This video made me emotional also being in the 4th trimester. Ive been trying to get it all done but i need to soak her in more
Thrive is amazing! Been a member for years.
Love the video. Would enjoy hearing more about your thoughts about nutrition.
Your cat is beautiful... The dogs are gorgeous.
I love your dresses! I need to know where you find such beautiful dresses!
Meatloaf sammies are the BEST ❤❤❤
So good!!
Enjoyed.
Our oldest is 25 and I wore her in a sling.
Love your large head scrunchie …where can I buy one ….I love your videos it was relaxing to watch this and loved it when you were sweeping slowly at your pace…your doing such a good job taking care of the whole family and animals …God bless your family!
I'm already paying for amazon😅so i get subscriptions of the healthy foods we can't find at costco🤷🏻♀️ i feel is like an mls because when i had it i would get emails all the time about getting money if i got people to subscribe. I don't mean wrong i love your videos and ideals😊
Do you have a list of any supplements you take postpartum?
I want more kids so badly. I have 3 and my last 2 were c sections because of breach. I have a dydelphis uterus so we didn't feel safe physically turning them. I can't imagine a 3rd c section. 😢
Very nice so beautiful good sharing ❤
I already commented but I gotta say I LOVE a full dinner meal for breakfast 😂
I have a garden thats out by the road and the chickens never went that far the few couple years but last year and this year theyve been digging it up like crazy. 😅 so annoying
Do you ever put a sleep sack on your baby when they sleep on their belly? I’m pregnant with my first and sleep is heavily on my mind. Belly sleep makes a lot of sense to me but I’ll be having baby in the fall so it will be a bit cold.
Is the navy blue dress Neuflora also??
Ok hold up! How do you keep your beautiful furniture outside without molding? Any tips to keeping them outside? All my furniture I put outside gets so gross I can only keep in for a season 😭 Those chairs are lovely😍
I buy thrifted furniture for the house and once the kids destroy it I move it outside to the porches! Most pieces last 3-4 years inside and then a few years outside then they are junk. But when you only pay $50-75 for a piece of furniture from the thrift store and get 7-8 years out of it with lots of kids, that’s a win lol! Our porches are under cover as well, and they are easy and west facing, not south facing, so they don’t get sun all day or get rained on
how do you make your sourdough starter?
My chickens also scratch out my rock..... just a fair warning.
If you look at old pictures of Native Americans, you will see moms wearing something similar to what you use.
I love the red glasses! Do you have any resources about belly sleeping and big pharma blaming belly sleeping to scapegoat in place of vaxxes?
I thought she put some of that in her description of that video??
@@narrowpathfarmI saw resources for co sleeping, but I don’t think I saw any on the big pharma push to blame belly sleeping! This is something I’ve heard from many people and I just want to learn more about it!
Your so hard at work all the time you must take the time for yourself to rest, eat good and sleep. Do you ever just take a day off and treat yourself ??? Question: Have you comeup with any good soups and salads. ??? that is what i eat a lot of and there so easy to fix . I need to comeup with some new ones.
Compare what Peter said in 1 Peter 1:23 "Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever." these are the only 3 times you will find "born again" in the Bible. Pater is talking about the death of your old self, and being born again by the word of God and this faith will now cause you to be a new creature. Your flesh is corruptible, but God's word is pure. By repenting and turning to the Lord Jesus Christ you are born again!
Acts 8:
36 And as they went on [their] way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, [here is] water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?
37And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
Here in Acts you read that the eunuch believe on Jesus Christ (and was already saved) before he was baptized, thus you only need faith and belief on Jesus Christ to be saved, NO WORKS TO BE SAVED!
Acts 16:30-31, the Philippian jailer asked Paul and Silas: “ . . . ‘Sirs, what must I do to be saved?’ And they said, ‘Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved and thine house’
Ephesians 2:
4But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
5Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
6And hath raised [us] up together, and made [us] sit together in heavenly [places] in Christ Jesus:
7That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in [his] kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
8For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God: For we are his workmanship, created in Christ 9Jesus unto good works, 9which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
10Wherefore remember, that ye [being] in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;
11That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having 12no hope, and without God in the world:
13But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
14For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition [between us];
15Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, [even] the law of commandments [contained] in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, [so] making peace;
16And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:
Romans 3:
19Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.
20Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law [is] the knowledge of sin.
21But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
22Even the righteousness of God [which is] by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
23For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
24Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
25Whom God hath set forth [to be] a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
26To declare, [I say], at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
27Where [is] boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
28Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
29[Is he] the God of the Jews only? [is he] not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:
If you don’t have a long time to get yourself ready just remember the top three: Face, pits and lady bits !😝
Love your channel, but thrive is WOKE! I know you have higher standards for children. Please reconsider.
