Girl this is my dream and it's so wild what life does. I was a drug addict, got sober, became a single momma and did everything the "traditional society" way now I'm a married momma of two and I am home full time and homemaking causes me sooooo much joy. Long term goals here 🙌🙌🙌❤️

That quiet time as an introvert is essential. I'm a teacher & I'll often lock myself in the classroom or go sit in a park at lunchtime to decompress and prepare myself for the coming session. I don't think people realise just how exhausting human interaction that constantly needs attention can be for an introvert. I am incredibly grateful for my quiet time and walks in nature to calm my soul and feel the grass under my feet.

I agree! I have twin boys and as much as I love them, I find the constant noise and demands on my attention exhausting. It’s easier now they are at school because I work from home and so get a time of quiet to decompress while they are out of the house x

I agree, but arent you in the wrong job field then? I have a job that requires a very independent work style with not too much interaction. Works vetter for introverts.

@@faye891 I love my job so it's more I need to balance everything really well and for me that is taking breaks away when I can. Fairly easy to do. Yeah some days I go home completely drained but I love my job.

I love how affection between the parents and the children. That is what every family needs.

My Dear Mother…she had 5 of us children. She was so organized…raised us beautifully. We weren’t homeschooled, but man…Mom was organized. She struggled after we all grew and left home with extra time on her hands, so she entered the workforce doing what she was educated for. She was a Administrative Secretary and landed a fantastic job at a local television show here in the Detroit area. She was in Heaven and did such a great job. She was valued their. Then, once Dad retired they traveled the entire United States and Canada. Then Europe

I love the way you organize your life, your daily, weekly, seasonal schedules, to ensure that you get everything done to take care of your family. Your children will look back and fondly remember what a wonderful childhood they had on the homestead. 💖🌟🌱

I'm the fifth of seven children. Now 63, I am SO aware of how blessed I was to have the childhood that I did. We weren't homeschooled, we went to a small country school (there were 12 in my class), but other than that watching your videos is like a walk down memory lane. I am twice blessed, being able to 'relive' my own wonderful childhood, and knowing that there are other children being just as blessed. Well done, Mom!!!

It's like poetry seeing you cuddling with little ones or interacting with the other kids! Such deep mothers love,so beautiful!

Thank you for another great video! You are so right about needing a break during the day. I have children similar ages as yours, and when my youngest goes down for a nap, I practically run out to the garden just to feel then fresh air and sunshine on my face, to “check-out” from my chores for a moment, and just enjoy some time in my garden and with God. “The kiss of the sun for pardon, The song of the birds for mirth, One is nearer God’s Heart in a garden Than anywhere else on earth.”

I just stumbled across your video whilst researching about home schooling and I'm so happy I did! I actually feel so emotional watching this, because this kind of lifestyle isn't so common anymore, sadly.... Its a beautiful thing to watch. We have just started to home school our 3 kids and moved from Europe to live abroad where there's more space and a better lifestyle. Not as much convenience, which I'm actually loving. It is truly beautiful to see a family with more than 1 child, praying, wearing modest clothing, having a strong family bond. I myself am a Muslim and our lifestyle is so similar to yours, its just really lovely to see this especially this day and age. Nowadays, people who practice their religion are looked at as weird, especially in the west, but our religion says that as time progresses, believers will become like strangers to those who don't believe, so glad tidings to the strangers. Much love ❤️

Lol “this is my lazy bread…” while kneading as a mad woman 😂 I can’t believe the amount of energy and discipline you have! You are doing a wonderful job!

Hello! I just wanted to pop on and tell you that I really appreciate your videos. My husband and I are unable to have children and I so enjoy seeing your family. Thank you for sharing them with me 😊

Wow if u look at yall sitting on the couch doing school work the 2 boys look like twins. That's amazing

I also wake up with my husband and help him get ready for work. I’ll get his tea ready, make us a smoothie and pack his lunch. I love helping him get his day started right!

Same morning routine here with my husband and I. Right down to the tea, smoothie and lunch 🥰

I love how ur family starts off there day. Everyone is paying attention to each other, it's not rushed or stressful. I appreciating the moment, when I start a family I'm gonna do the same thing. 😊

Your productivity is mind-blowing, when you told us about your crazy busy morning and then said "oh well, I'm gonna try to fit in a workout on top of that", I was like BRAVO, CRAZY LADY! :D You are awesome.

Your channel was suggested to me tonight! You have an absolutely beautiful and amazing family! Your children are so sweet and considerate. It was a joy watching your family! I live in NC, and also have seven children. One thing that has helped me with one on one time- is a monthly thing I made up called “special day” fortunately this was easy as my Children were born on different numeral days of the month (15, 28, 18, 2, 24, 26,17) each month the child who’s birthday falls on that specific day gets to stay up an hour later, and do something with me of their choosing- play games or paint/color/read do a craft etc.. it really helped my relationships with my children when one on one time is impossible during the day.

I wasn’t homeschooled nor lived with a homestead mom but for the 42 years my parents were married (until his passing) they woke up together early to always have coffee and just be together before the work day began. It is still a warming and aspiring routine that I remember and loved. It was always comforting to see their morning togetherness time. Just found your channel and am excited to see more!😀 Have a happy Wednesday!

This video is so thorough, open and inspiring! I'm currently pregnant with my 4th and it is the hardest emotional and exhausting physically. I have been freaking out trying to figure out how to juggle everything from keeping up with the home, yard work, homeschooling, cooking and cleaning. My husband works 3rd shift so he is asleep most of the day 6 days a week. Thank you for this peak into your world. I am definitely going to subscribe.

Hey 👋 just wanted to let you know that I'm a huge fan of your videos and of you of course also you are a true inspiration I love how good you take care of your family ❤️ you are a wonderful mother a great wife and a awesome human being sending you lots of blessings to you and your family and positive energy as well ❤️🤗🦋❣️🥰🐣

Wow!

Just found your videos and I love them. You are truly blessed. I wish I was raised like this. I was adopted and I had a very bad childhood. I am 67 now. I would have loved this life. Please keep these coming. Are you going to have more children? I think big families are wonderful. Love love this. Glad I found these. God Bless your family. You does just great job!

Omg….look at that little guy in the incubator!! So sweet….Gods gift…..

I have to say, you are such a great mamma, and I love the way you are teaching one son that he is part of your being while you teach the other. When my younger daughter was 8, I decided I just wasn't ready to be done having babies, and after a miscarriage, I had a beautiful baby boy we named Benjamin, then 2 1/2 years later came Hannah. I made it a point to do the same as you did with them. Whenever I sat down with her to nurse, I always asked Benjamin to sit with us if he wanted-and he always had a book... He never, and to this day ever showed an ounce of jealousy to Hannah. It was something I was very concerned about because he was the apple of every one's eye and had a lot of attention. I think it made a huge difference to feel that there was enough love for both. One thing I especially am so proud of you for is taking care of your needs, because doing so really will help you be there in a better place for your babies. 💕🦋

Yay another day in the life!! Thank you I can’t get enough of your videos lol

All glory to God! I enjoy watching you very much. It gives me motivation to keep busy and serve my family as we are starting a small homestead and now i’m home schooling. I’m learning so much! Praise the Lord. 😊 Thank you.

New homeschool mama here. I love the slower pace and special time with my kids too. They will be grown before I know it! Really enjoy your videos❤️

My Sunday morning treat, watching your video!!! My four girls are all in their 30's, along with 8 grandkids. Appreciate all the time you put into sharing your beautiful family. Looking forward to seeing you and family out in summer kitchen!! Gods blessings 🙏

I love reading what a wonderful inspiration you are to so many other younger moms. May God bless you greatly because you are such a blessing to others.

No offense to any other homestead families, but I absolutely love to see that even though your children are in the garden, doing chores,taking care of animals, they're still clean and we'll fed. I absolutely adore your little ones!!! Mine are grown, but my grandkids are here A LOT! Lol

Such a nice home vibe you create. Good work! Thanks for sharing. I imagine many people are considering homeschooling these days, in upside-down world.

You are such a sweet, affectionate mother to your children 💕. It's a beautiful thing to see, thank you for your content

Love how women are choosing to stay home with their kids and allowing their husbands to be main bread winners!! Looks like keeping a schedule through the day is the key and allowing yourself to have down time keeps you sane! :)

I so appreciate seeing your organization and schedule at work! This is such an encouragement!!! Thank you!!

Your family is blessed to have you! Such a great mother!

what a sweet family, we are so blessed to homeschool. I feel like it is a best kept secret every day.

Good Morning. Been waiting for your video. Have a blessed day!

You can never hide from your children!! They always know where you are!!! Lol

Thank you! What a wonderful video, I love the idea of starting the homeschool day with reading together about a topic of interest, I will implement it with my family!

You are an encouragement to me. I have only five kiddos to homeschool and we have an old, old farmhouse. Sometimes it feels like a lot, but I watch you doing similar things with such a sweet and patient demeanor and I feel like maybe I can, too. 😊

Just a blessing Jessica. Have a blessed week. I love remembering my days with my children. This video took me back to my days with my own mommy and daddy. Our farm all the animals. Your home is full of love. Wish all homes were !

Thank you for taking time to share with us. I love learning from you. More and more I realise we are meant to follow our own path and you make me feel like it is ok to just be myself.

I am very happy I stumbled upon this video this morning. I love seeing your older children actually playing with and understanding hard work. It’s so nice to see that even with a full life you can still have a simple routine that allows you to keep up on life. Thank you

This video was just what I needed after a hard homeschooling day:) Thank you so much for all of the inspiration! God bless!

Loved this video! Your work ethic is such an inspiration! If your dishwasher is permanently broken, you could take the door off to make it easier to move around the kitchen while keeping it open for air to circulate around the dishes and dry them!

You have the most amazing family Jessica. You're the greatest mom ever! Be blessed and have a great week.

Maybe investing in a water softener would help the dishwasher situation?? I love that you have so much energy, albeit for a shorter period of time than you may wish. I am always amazed at everything you accomplish, and that you manage to give each of your children individual attention. God richly bless you always!

Good morning Jessica and Adam and family. Love watching your U Tube channel. Have a wonderful day and a wonderful Blessed week full of Good Blessings for you and Adam and your family from a viewer in Toronto Ontario Canada

Love it! Thanks for sharing :-) We have six, oldest eleven. This was encouraging to see your gentle rhythm of the day.

Jessica your videos are always a breath of fresh air. I am so happy that you choose to share some of your precious life on this platform to encourage others and show them that life can be full of happiness and fulfillment if you take it one day at a time. I also love that you keep it real so other moms in similar life situations can relate. Blessings to you and your family.

My children are all grown. But I have had the pleasure of also raising 4 of my grandchildren. They are 16 to 20 now. I miss those morning snuggles and cuddles.

I have an immense amount of respect for you! I’ve never seen your videos before but wow, it’s so incredible to see all you do for your children👏🏻

You're a very busy mom and so blessed to have your children helping you. I know you are going to love the outdoors kitchen. Stay safe.

Love, love, love your pretty quilt blanket.

Thank you for sharing your recipes with us. I love your family's calming and comforting morning routines. Those sweet baby chicks 🐣 were an added bonus to the day for an impromptu science lesson!

Thank you - you always help me get out of a mom rut :) I appreciate you’re videos so much!

I’ve never really liked family channels. But there’s something about you guys that I love. I can’t stop watching you and I hope to one day having such a loving family like yours. Even if there is ruckus behind the scenes, the way you’re living your life is amazing. I look up to you. Thank you for sharing ❤️

You are amazing! I'm so shocked at all that you get done and provide for your family. What a blessed family you have.

Jessica, you are such an inspiration to me!!! In so many ways. May God keep blessing you and give you strength

Absolutely loved this video. Thank you for sharing. I’ll be watching more as this year I’m taking on homeschooling as a working stay at home mom of 4. ☺️

Love watching you taking care of your family, what s blessing. God bless you and yours

I really enjoy watching your day in the life, cooking and homesteading. My kids are grown and it’s nice to see your kids grow. I am always interested in how other parents parent their kids. I applaud your strength to home school since it is not something I could have done. So kudos to you!!! 😁

It really is important to have your own down time. I think people forget that. You do so much! Your vlogs are so honest, and sweet. Thank you. Praying for your garden, especially for your beans. May the Lord continue to bless your lovely family!

Yay! Sunday night regular.

Thank you for taking the time to make this. I am 24 with three boys 6, 4 & 7-months, and it always seems so impossible to find the time for everything I need to do, even basic things like dishes and floor pick up, much less all the homesteading things! And now that we're entering homeschool years it seems like an even bigger mountain. I want to have several more children but I am also an introvert! Anyway, it was so soothing and encouraging to watch you go through your day, doing so many of the same things that I do, but with the help of older children in making things good & orderly. I know you probably have harder days, but it's hopeful and inspiring. Thank you.

Greetings from Sweden! Thank you for sharing your day, so nice to se the “normalcy” and to be able to relate. 🙏🏼❤️🙏

Absolutely lovely, loving video…I tell my kids, who have kids, these are the best days of your life!❤️

I love my rhythms and so do my kids. Each day might have different things throughout but if the bones of it are the rhythm, we all do well. Yes, I actually do the evening chooks and garden jobs as my quiet time. I'm an outdoors person, so taking a moment especially at sundown in winter to do two things I enjoy (especially by myself) recharges me to be present for my family for the last few hours of the day. Pleasant for everyone. Thank you for sharing your day lovely 🥰

Ohh I’m so glad I found your channel! ☺️👏🏼🧡

You made me giggle when you said “I’ll spare you seeing me in my workout stuff”. 😂 I feel that! I love seeing how you just work your workout into the day. It is such a struggle for me. I loved seeing the chicks! My dad would incubate eggs and it is such a good memory. 💙

Love this ♥️ thanks for sharing!

Another great video . We are a homeschooling family from the UK and we really enjoy watching your videos.

I just love watching your videos.

I love these sorts of fly on the wall videos.

Such a relatable video , thank you ✝️

Wonderful! Brings back good memories of Mel with Sam. Josh, Ariel and Joel....

Thank you for your video. We too have well water that is very hard, I would recommend installing a water softener system, this will help with the life span of your appliances. Bosch also makes a dishwasher specific for hard water, it has it’s own water softener built in you just add salt. I am not aware of any brand of dishwasher that can withstand hard water for very long. Without a softener system of some kind, most of the time the damage to the dishwasher is just the water valve. Which you can replace without needing to replace the whole dishwasher. Have a blessed day!

I have to say...You are such a good mamma. I loved the way that you brought

What an encouragement this video was to me. I am so inspired by you and your beautiful family to your implement your rhythms into our family as I too am a stay at home, homeschooling mom (of three.) I hope that you keep these wonderful videos coming as time permits. God bless you all.🙏🏼🌷

I am amazed and love the easy shelving for your kitchen so things are easy and convenient. So nice!!

I so enjoy your videos you have such a peaceful presence and you share to bless others. Not to boast or brag. This is one of my favorite channels.

Hello Jessica! I'm a mom of 8 and it's so good to find your channel😊! Just love it 🥰 there are lessons to learn here 😀

Thank you pretty lady ! I enjoyed your video 😘God bless you and your family

You are a great reminder of what I miss so much being younger an having my babies at home!!

Cranberry grape was my favorite juice combo growing up! Yum! Also it makes me excited it’s that easy to make juice!

I love this!

Beautiful family!

Props to you Mama ! You really diserve a nice vacation! WOW seven babies at different ages... Can't even imagine that . I'm good with 3 .

This is amazing. Watched this out of curiosity. This woman is a cook, gardener, food prepper, teacher, curriculum preparer, reader, cleaner, mother to range of ages, wife, exercising, animal owner. Any one of those things is a big job on their own and full of skills people pay for (I've done most of those as paid or barter jobs - nanny, gardener, animal care, food prep, cleaning...). And I bet she sews too. That's a huge amount of responsibility each day. For zero pay except of course the pay is the whole household and family taken care of, everyone very well-fed, and tons of quality time with kids. Anyone who thinks a stay-at-home mom especially this style of it isn't hard work is super ignorant and maybe should watch this video. It does leave me wondering how someone could manage all that if they weren't as physically and emotionally able-bodied or got sick or injured. I wonder if she does all this work on the weekends too and if there's enough chances for them all to socialize outside the family and go on outings too. I wish this hard-working family all the best. That was the first time I saw a chick hatch!!!

Homeschool mom of 4 here. I LOVE this channel ❤️

I love it. I was also homeschooled myself and really want a larger family and to be able to homeschool them as well. Homeschooling gets a bad rap-but done right it is soooo awesome.

I am so grateful that I found your channel. Y'all really are an inspiration to those of us that aspire to achieve what you have. 💜

This is the first time watching your channel I was absolutely amazed how structured your routine was.To be honest I was tired just watching. You are an amazing lady with a beautiful family. I certainly with enjoy your other episodes in the future. Thank you and God Bless

Omg yes Body clock ..the same I wake up always 730 am ..Even the weekends ..but I catch u with house work..I clean better when I by myself ..no distraction .. Have a great weekend 🌱🌱

Thanks for the recipes and for the link to the cart. We homeschool as well and I have a much smaller cart that we have outgrown. I think I will be purchasing one like your this coming summer for the next school year!

Your videos are so grounding, Jessica. I love watching them on Sunday mornings, such a peaceful start to the day ❤️

I love watching your videos reminds me of when my kids were little. I miss them being small. Worry is small till they are grown and moved on
