While I totally respect that you don’t often include your little ones in your videos, I LOVE IT when you do! They are so precious! Can’t wait to see that next little one!

There is also "child labor laws" that have to be considered. Since KZread video creation is a "job" , having g children in them is classified as "child labor." So you have to be very careful.

Same! My three year old has asked to watch “the cookie video” daily since it was released! She loves seeing the three young girls and now makes up her own recipes. Thank you for sharing your little ones with us!
I love that hardly anyone on the thread is commenting on the cookies, it’s all about these beautiful children. 😁
It's so good to see a young women and her husband raising their children in the Lord.. it's so good to know our heavenly Father is faithful.
"We have to make one more because there's only 12!" The reality of baking for a large family. I know it too well! 😂
Beautiful family! Your girls are learning true life skills that will carry them well in the future, they are truly blessed to have you as a mother.
I've yet to watch the video but I did receive a cake mix like this in a jar many yrs ago. With shipping costs through the roof you can also place any mix like this in a decorative gift bag and place in a tin or small gift box so not to rip the bag and still include the needed instructions inside.
Oh Carolyn, you and Josh are so blessed! The girls are bright, shining lights of beauty. Thank you for sharing them with us today. God Bless and Happy Christmas ❤🕊🦁🐑❤🙏✝

I'm sure they all make her very proud already. They made me proud of them too.
It is pure joy watching your sweet daughters making these cookies. I had a smile on my face for the entire video. I am definitely going to do this with my three grandchildren, they will also have the best time making these. Thank you!
I love, love this video. Those sweet faces and singing AwY in a Manger, a wonderful start to a day.
It makes me feel so good that Rebecca, Hannah, and Elizabeth are being trained up to be self-sustaining, independent, and skilled! Great job mom and dad. Love you guys
Hello Carolyn; Let me first thank you for being so generous with your time and your expertise. I came across your video(s) while looking for a mustard plaster recipe. I'm 72 and as a child whenever I fell ill with a nasty chest cold an aunt of mine would whip up a rather vile smelling mustard plaster but they never failed to work. I plan to make this tomorrow for my husband who has been suffering for four days now and absolutely nothing is easing his cough. I do have one complaint though if you can call it a complaint. My intention was to watch just that one video and you do such a fine presentation that I believe I watched about four more after that and I plan on watching many more to come hence this may set my housework schedule back a little. LOL So thank you once again and please pass along to your lovely girls that they did a wonderful DIY Cookie In A Jar video. Wishing you all the very best and good health :)
Pure delight to watch the girls help.
This was cute. They each have their own unique personalities and it shows!! This is a good idea - I might do this for other cookie recipes!
Your girls are precious! Loved their Christmas song. Loved the great gift idea of your cookie mix. We did that years ago when my kids were little. Lord bless!💛
You had me teary eyed when the little ones sang. How precious! I love seeing your little helpers. Your making such wonderful memories with them. The mix is pretty and the cookies look delicious.

Looks great. Your daughter are beautiful and so well behaved. Lovely to see such a beautiful family. Thank you for sharing.
Tears of sweet joy when the girls sang "Away in a Manger".😀🤗😗💘 So cute to have them in the kitchen. It was beautiful! 🏆💖
Your girls are so adorable and such great helpers! What a great project to have the kids help with!
Pretty, pretty chefs and what a great idea. the little one has a tooth problem and is a talker. The middle one is quiet but attentive and that last one is wide eyed and very neat with her jar. Love it. Mom you are doing a fantastic job with these young ladies. Kudos to dad, too.
So cool when your babies help.. I use them to get my Grands to fallow instructions. 😂 thanks girls.
Your three girls are blessings from God and it is so obvious that you treat them as such. THANK YOU for sharing this precious moment in your family with us. God Bless you all.
It's fun watching your Rebecca, Hannah, and Elizabeth grow. What sweeties! Great idea as I have many Mason jars.
loved this. You’re kids are so sweet! You’re a fabulous mom!
Great project for the grands. Thank you. Beautiful children, God bless your family.
😊 this made me smile. I can’t wait to do this with my grand baby
Oh this is the sweetest video! It was fun watching the girls help you. I also have many mason jars😀 and LOTS of grandkids!

Your family is adorable. Enjoy watching your videos
Your precious girls singing brings tears of joy to my eyes
My son and daughter in law have four girls. Three of them are learning to cook with one watching. Children are such a blessing.
What a great idea. Bless you and your wonderful family!
I got chills when they started Away In A Manger❤️. Carolyn they are so sweet! ❤️ y’all, Kristy in Missouri zone 6b 😃🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Love how u teach them self control and having to wait. That will serve them so well in every area of their lives!!! And the cookies look yummy. Will definitely be making these to hand out as gifts as well as keeping a few for my shelf!!

That song the girls sang, I remember singing that as a child in primary class at church!!! Lovely job girls xD
It is so cute to see the girls concentrate on this!!
Wonderful "singing" helpers!!! One of the greatest times of their lives! Bless you all!
I love that you had your helpers today....and when they were singing my heart was so happy. Little Angels.
Thank you! I gave these out for Christmas to each member of my church choir (I'm the leader.) So easy to do & so appreciated.
What sweet young ladies! They started the holidays in the most precious way.
Just put 3 jars together this morning, and made a batch for dessert. Everyone liked them! Thank you!
I love this idea. And I love 💕 that you share this with your girls. It reminds me of home. I have 3 older sisters and a younger brother. I have 2 daughters myself and I still cook with them. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and sweet family.❤
brought tears to my eyes..not the cookies but those three little angels..
What a nice family project to do for the holidays and such a great idea too.
Looking for cookie dough recipes that can be made and frozen for quick cookies. This could be one of my make and try recipes. Thank you! Love your cute helpers.
Your best ever video. Loved watching.
Your girls are so ADORABLE! The cookies look good too! Lol
How wonderful to see three of your beautiful children. They are delightful! I love how they work together, and Hannah is quite the expert with the mixer! You didn't have to tell her to put it in the mix BEFORE turning it on! ;-)
I love this idea, and your daughters are adorable!!!
Your daughters are so beautiful and sweet. Watching them help you bake brings back memories of baking with my mother and grandmother. I miss them both so much. That mix looks like something I'd like to make a lot of for gifts. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Adorable girls. My kids (all 7) are grown up. I miss those days. So enjoy every minute of that wonderful family.
Great video. I loved the kids. Myself being 80 it reminded me of yesteryear. Brought a tear. God Bless Joe Scott Muddy Dog Ranch
So fun watching the girls help
Such adorable little helpers! Even inspired my little buddy to want to make cookie jars with me.

These girls brought tears to my eyes. Listening to them sing reminded me of when I was an innocent child and sang that song before I went to sleep. Thank you for sharing this video of with us. I love your channel so much.
watching you with your girls is so sweet, so glad to see them getting involved in the kitchen. My daughter loves to help too.
I love this video! The excitement in the girls faces is is satisfying!! Such a lovely song.
Adorable! Boy, I miss those days with my little ones. They are all grown up now but what wonderful memories this brought back. God Bless you all.
Awesome recipe and so nice to see your sweet girls helping. I loved them singing. Thanks for sharing with us. 💕
Your video hit the top of my list! I have my granddaughter and "special" granddaughter spending the weekend with me in two weeks. This will give them something special to do with me, then they can take some home as present for their stepmom and aunt. Your girls are so cute doing this all together. Then you mentioned aprons and I think we are going to get out the sewing machine so they can use it making a couple of aprons. Thank you!!
This is such a cool idea. Those girls are just darling! I pray God's protection, and blessing on you all. May everything you all set your hands to, prosper!
They have happy beautiful smiles 😊
That reminds me. This year Chipits came out with holiday shaped chocolate chips. They would be great for this recipe.
OMG...Santa's helpers are sooooo cuuuuute. Greetings from Australia.
Thanks for this! What a great gift idea!
Loved this, each girl's personality showed. They are precious.
I really love these make-ahead mixes that you make they're so easy, delicious and don't have a tonne of complicated ingredients to search for especially since I need to make a lot of them for everyone. Thank you for all of the mixes and I can't wait for more 🤗🤗
You Lady, are so Precious, so are your little ones. Peace!! ❤️✝️🇺🇸🎄🕯️
Those girls are PRICELESS
Awww how precious to watch your little angels learning and singing. As a Nana, it melted my heart and I will use this recipe for presents for family. Thank you so much!!
I think this was my favorite video ever! Your girls are just precious. The singing brought me such happy tears. It’s been a few years since we’ve celebrated Christmas due to loss. That song was the first spark of the spirit of Christmas I’ve had in a long time. Of course we recognize Jesus’ birthday but that song brought all the feels. God bless!
Seriously, you have adorable babies
Sweet girls! Great helpers
It is fun to see the girls helping. The looks on their faces was enjoyable to watch. Times excited, others intense concentration. I love seeing you pass on all the skills to the kids. We did with our kids. For so many years they did not use all of them, but they are honing them now.
OOOOOH MY GOODNESS. THEY ARE SOOOOO CUTE!!!! CHILDREN ARE A BLESSING FROM THE KING!!!! YOU ARE REALLY REALLY REALLY .............. BLESSED.
Beautiful family! You all emit love ! Such a treasure! Happy Holiday Season to you all! Thank you for sharing❤
Your so blessed to have such beautiful and wonderful children!!!
Adorable! You have such a great family! I love baking with my grandkids
Hello Darlings, my grandchildren are all in their teens and we don’t bake as often as we used to🙁 BUT I AM DEFINITELY GOING TO GET THEM TO DO LOADS OF THESE🥰😍. Thankyou soooo much for this FABULOUS IDEA and lots of love from Belfast Northern Ireland.
Thank you so much for sharing your cookie recipe and especially thanks for letting the little ones, join in, so sweet and special, God bless ❤
Cooking and baking always go easier when you have good assistants. And you have 3! Great job on making the mixes and the cookies.
Goodness…the cuteness overload 😍
Your family is absolutely so precious ❤ I’ve really enjoyed watching.
Such well mannered children... and they can sing 🤗❤️
Wowee......Great idea.....Precious Sweet Family 🙏💐🙏🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🙏💐🙏
Good idea. I think I'll take a jar of the mix to my grandchildren. And such well behaved children. Well done mama!
Your girls are adorable 😍
So lovely to see your children getting involved. i just love cooking with my grandchildren. 10 year old easily takes control of making breakfast pancakes as she has helped so often.
It's important to have the girls in the kitchen. It teaches them great skills, and creates memories🙏
