Jennifer - I loved going along with you! I only have “big” kids now (22 and 20) but my days are still *similar* even though we’re no longer homeschooling. Thank you, as always, for sharing!
Hi Jennifer 👋, if you want/wish to become a -1 out of ten Mum, give Maria, Peter, and Joe an English Usage dictionary !!! 😅 I'd image that Maria, and you adore a dander around Liberty of London. It's a once in a lifetime ✨️ shopping experience. Pumpkin bars look as delicious as always.🎉 God bless the Brockmans. X
My dad always said the food fuels the kids. If they don't get a burst of energy after eating, you're doing it wrong. Same with his calf's. They're so cute watching when they're done eating😊
Maria I love it when seeing an actor promoting their current film start speaking French. Bradley Cooper is bilingual it was his minor at Georgetown & he spent 6 months as an exchange student in Provence, France.: Shakira sings beautifully in French & speaks 5 languages. Jodie Foster attended a California French/English high school & gave the French valedictorian speech. Keep studying it’s worth your time. Au Revior
We are plagued with Mice this year especially 15 caught so far in just a few short weeks we purchased electronic traps from Amazon and they are really good 😊
My 12 year old son Oskar is also taking french in his school here in Sweden. The kids here starts learning a new languaage in 6th grade(when they are 12). He loves is. You can also choose spanish or german.
We made those potatoes with the ham and my husband said that is a keeper! Don't know why I NEVER thought of doing that. Thank you. Now to do the pumpkin bars yum!
I have a recipe for scalloped potatoes with browned breakfast sausage with added cheese. It is delicious with the sage sausage and great leftover the next day with a couple of fried eggs for breakfast. My guys always want me to make enough for supper and breakfast the next day. Give it a try.
In the fall now and winter my chickens are not laying much. That is normal and probably what is happening to yours too. I now am buying store bought eggs.
Going to have to rewatch this, we're getting some trick or treaters so I'm missing lots. So nice you uploaded tonight, thank you! I'll rewatch and comment more later. Wishing you a blessed All Souls day tomorrow.
Hi Jennifer. Thank you for reminding me about the pumpkin bar recipe in CB#1. My BIL loves pumpkin roll but I think the pumpkin bars will be his new favorite! Maria-I took French in high school and college, I remember when learning to count, someone said a hint was "un, deux, trois cats sank." Hugs.
Jennifer there are French classes online for beginners to advanced which includes speaking French and proper pronunciation. Maybe try one of those. I did French from grade 5 to 11 also have a 4yr advanced certificates. Beautiful language. Bon chance Maria ( my tablet won't let write in French lol) .
What a great deal at pizza ranch! Your chickens may be on strike..🤣🤣 or vacation. Both of your scalloped potatoes looked yummy. Real life videos are just that…real and what we can relate to. Thanks!!
When my kids started school,we started Word of the Day. Every morning a new word was posted on the white board in the kitchen,at dinner time,they had to tell us the definition,part of speech,spell it and use it in a sentence! Their friends all looked forward to word of the day as well! My best Kitcheaide investment was a second bowl! We bake large batches of cookies and or overnight potatoes and being able to have two bowls is fabulous!
We routinely did a what new thing did you learn today. It helped to get my daughter to talk because she could go the whole meal and not say a word. They had one friend that wouldn’t participate so she sat in the other Room while we ate. She survived and turned out to be a difficult adult too.
I have 2 abandoned houses in my neighborhood. I could sit on my porch and watch the rats playing tag. These are bigger rats and they could actually chew the seals off of my home canned foods. I think they might be able to beat you up and tote you of if they wanted to. Anyway I don't know how you feel about this but after losing so much food I finally had to go with poisons. I bought the "Just One Bite" from Amazon and it worked and worked good. i do have dogs so I had to put it somewhere they couldn't get it. It is a little pricey, at least it was to me, but if you don't have an adverse thought on it, you could give that a try.
@@acountrylife I gave one small block to my sister who had a problem with them. She lives in the country and I guess its a problem for some folks when cooler weather starts. Any way, she said she had already seen 3 that died and she had plenty of that block left. I really like it. I tried everything else including baking soda and jiffy honey corn muffin mix. Nothing worked, until I got the just one bit. Give it a try. I think you'll be happy with it. I leave a little piece of it in every room in my house. When I go into any room I look for it and if its where I left it, all is good. So far. all has been good.
Cardboard, ducttape, copper wire or other type, large square battery 18 volt? Some peanut butter in the middle, creates an electrical grid they try to pass over to get the treat in middle and it electrocutes them. UA-cam university jas a tutorial, many of them.
You and Warren both have gotten a lot done. That always makes one feel good. The supper looks great. It’s nice that some prefer one and others prefer the other one. You can please everyone that way. I’m making chicken and rice and also making Alfredo spaghetti tomorrow. I prefer the chicken and rice but others like the Alfredo spaghetti better. Have a great weekend ❤
We love Pizza Ranch! You are right, they have gotten a bit expensive lately. Isn't Hobby Lobby great?!? It's one of my favorite stores to visit. I could just walk around for the longest time looking at all the pretty things. ☺ Great video!
@@acountrylife Me, too! The funny thing is, though, I am not really much of a decorator. 🤣 I guess I like the "idea" of a beautifully decorated home much more than actually making it a reality! ☺
We had mice in our basement even during the summer. This has been a bad year. I miss having a good mouser. Committed to getting rid of the clutter in the basement
Jennifer i love listening to your Children they so precious Maria like Pizza 🍕 to the food and desserts look amazing sweet Friend Cathy🙏🏻✝️☮️📿🎃🎃🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰💐🍀🌹🙏🏻✝️☮️📿
Just saying!!!! NEVER EVER tell your child (even an adult one) that you will pay $.25 for each Asian beetle they can vacuum up. We all counted and it was just shy of $100.00. The whole front of our house can get covered in them and when you have to let a dog in and out more get in. They bite and stink! LOL
@@acountrylife Well we said it, so unfortunately we paid! It was so funny at the time we, both kids and their families were here, were all laughing so hard a few tears were shed. That made it worth it!!! (LESSON LEARNED)
Hobby Lobby has so many cute things. When my home was decorated in farmhouse decor a lot of it was bought there on sale. Someday the kids are really going to appreciate the things you had them do for school but of course right now they probably find that hard to believe. Lol The pumpkin bars looked delicious! Thank you for another fun video. I’m already looking forward to the next one!🌺
Sorry to hear the Irish Spring didn't ward off the mice. Moth balls helped prevent infestation in my garage. We could spend hours in Hobby Lobby; great sale items! Maria's charcuterie board would be a hit at our house. ❤
Toto & crew were a hit tonight! So much fun handing out candy to kids that were so well mannered and loved showing off their costumes (no coats needed 😂). Glenda the Good Witch is exhausted tho! xo
@@acountrylife Unbelievable. Destructive little critters! You're in our prayers for a hard, cold winter. And yes, it's so hard to be good. You should know, my friend lol 😆
Something that has helped me with mice is to go into a TSC or hardware and buy plug ins that emit a sound that the mice can hear but we can’t. The ones I have a little light in them but there are those that don’t but they all work good. It may take awhile to get rid of them but it will happen. I bought mine with 3 or 4 in a package. I have one down in my cellar, the main floor has 1 in nearly every room and 1 in one of the 2 rooms in the upstairs. I had 1 left so I plugged it in my garage. I don’t want to ever be without these little devices. I’ve had these since fall of 2019.
Hi Jennifer and sweet family! Sounds like a perfect time for pumpkin bars, they look so delicious. Guys movie night sounds fun, but girls night out is even better with a trip to Hobby Lobby. Everything looks so delicious that you make, always makes me hungry. I hope everyone has a very blessed weekend!
Pizza ranch has good Chicken lol have to get to Hobby Lobby . When I went to the tech to get my LPN diploma I had learned in the military that repetition is the best way of learning i struggled with that when I was younger I have to read something then reread and take notes and then go back and make up my own tests do it once orally then written just to pass a test if I could pass mine I knew I could pass the instructor wish I knew that when I went to college . You do well with Joe and your kids in teaching them
I made a version of your Snicker's Salad tonight, but we call it Candy Apple Dessert. Mine uses a box of butterscotch pudding for more of a caramel taste, and then I add peanuts along with the Snickers and apple pieces. SO good!
A good way to drain fat from ground meat is to line a salad or large bowl with aluminum foil and place a colander over the bowl . Pour the entire contents of the frying pan into the colander. I always place a folded paper towel into bottom of the bowl to absorb the fat. After it drains as long as you want it, fold the foil into a pouch and throw it into the garbage. In the winter, it solidifies quickly. Not so much in the summer. I place used paper towels used for hand drying or lightly soiled to absorb the grease before throwing the pouch away.
Maria Holly Lobby is a wonderful Store They are always closed on Sundays though. love watching You all Jennifer Maria is so beautiful like her Mom Love watching you all sweet Friends Cathy 🙏🏻✝️☮️📿💐💕🍀💜🌹💗💙❤️♥️🎃🙏🏻✝️☮️📿🎃
When I find a ladybug 🐞 in my house I always gently catch it and release it outside y'all kill so much all sorts of animals I read a quote that said "you can tell alot about a persons character by the way they treat animals"

Love the day in the life videos... Something that helped me greatly with mice are cats!!! Since I had cats, no problem. Have a great day!
I see you found something Maria likes to eat! I like ham and potatoes too
Always love your videos! Thank you for them.
Jennifer I love the day in the life videos immensely! Thank you!!
I'm so glad! Have a wonderful day!
we use the grandpa gus repellent in the garage, boat, and crawl space at the cabin. works really well.
My garage smells like a holiday craft shop! 🎄
My dad always said the food fuels the kids. If they don't get a burst of energy after eating, you're doing it wrong.
Same with his calf's. They're so cute watching when they're done eating😊
So what you’re saying is I should put them out to pasture after supper so they can frolic about?? 😂🤣😂

Electric traps sound intriguing.
What’s the time and temp for the scalloped potato casseroles? They look delish! Everything you make looks so good!

Hobby lobby is dangerous cause there are so many good things in that I want.
Great video! Thank you, Jennifer ❤
Sounds like Peter would be a great forestry guy !! Maria could do work anywhere ! Joe could be anything he loves ! ❤❤❤❤❤
The kitchen aid self scraping paddle is good if you add liquids first. A dry dough will spill over the bowl with that paddle.
We made those potatoes with the ham and my husband said that is a keeper! Don't know why I NEVER thought of doing that. Thank you. Now to do the pumpkin bars yum!
Thanks for sharing! Have a wonderful weekend.

I knew it was going to be hobby lobby! ❤
Nothing says Christmas like a corn dog ornament!

I love my stainless steel one. I linked mine in the description.
Love Hobby Lobby. Where we used to live there was one just a few miles away. Now we live 30 miles away from one.
Love Hobby lobby too, never have heard any bad treatment and I love their Christian values and Christian music playing while shopping
Those Asian beetles don’t like the scent of lemon. If you spray something lemonade around your house and in your garage, they will go away.
Lemon extract would probably be nice and strong; I’ll have to try that.
I guessed! I guessed! 🎉❤.
Congratulations 🎊

When I find a ladybug 🐞 in my house I always gently catch it and release it outside y'all kill so much all sorts of animals I read a quote that said "you can tell alot about a persons character by the way they treat animals"
Ladybugs and Asian Beetles are 2 different insects. Ladybugs don’t bite, while Asian beetles do and they leave behind a stinky streak on the wall.
