My sainted Mother birthed 11 children within 15 years. I was the oldest girl and we worked together in the kitchen prepping school lunches and other meals. One thing she taught me was to never slice/cut strawberries rather leave them whole to prevent them from breaking down in the lunchbox. She lived to be 96!😇💕

@ShesInLosAngeles what an amazing woman! My Gmom whom I called Nanny had 10. She was a tiny little thing. Idk where my curvy sz 18 came from 😂😂 I had 3...2 girls 1 year & 2 days apart..then in 2014 when they were 15 and 16. I gave birth to my only son at the age of 37. He was due the day before my 38th bday & arrived 17 days before 😂..then when he had just turned 4, our only Grandchild (a boy) was born. Idk how they did it back then..but it's amazing to hear stories!❤ Thanks for the strawberry 🍓 tip!

You are so generous doing preps not only for your family, but also for your children's friends❤ You're a great mother!

I wanted to share some good and bad news with everyone who has been praying for my family and I. Remember me asking y'all to please pray for us. After my hospital visit Father's Day weekend, my daughter-in-law has sent us pictures and texts about them. We got to see them this past Sunday. The tumor on my left temporal lobe is mostly caused by my Crohn's. I go in August to get more tests on it. I believe God is still going to heal me. Thank you again, everyone for your prayers and continued prayers.

I'll continue to keep you in my prayers! This actually scares me because I was diagnosed with Crohns when I was 8 or 9 years old and I just turned 42 earlier this month and for the past year my Crohns has actually gotten a lot worse and I've been having the doctor run a bunch of different tests over the past few months. I pray for complete healing over you and I know that God is able and can do it! I can't imagine what you're going through because I know it's bad enough just when my Crohns flares up. I have to watch everything I eat very carefully and sometimes it's so bad I can't eat anything at all and can only keep down Gatorade to stay hydrated. Please keep us posted on how you're doing! Sending love and prayers! 😊❤

Heather I looked away for a second and you had all the cookies scooped already... I can't wait to see you and Luke with grand babies... All I can think of is how fun Christmas will be. Pulling the kiddos in sleds to search for the perfect Christmas tree.... Another really good addition to your lunchables would be almonds and raisins....

Hi I've been watching your show for a few months now and I think that you and your husband are wonderful people. I think that what yous do for your kids and how you raise them are super awesome. I absolutely love your cooking but I hate the negative comments that you receive but you can't always fix ignorance. I've just spent some time in hospital with my husband because he had brain surgery and those lunch packs would have been a great idea but we can't get things like that where I live. My husband came out of the surgery doing good but will take quite some time to heal. Anyway keep doing what your doing, we love you all and look forward to your next video. Love you momma Bell.

My teacher taught us to fill a 4 cup measuring cup up to the 2 cup line with cold water. (55 years ago😊) Scoop out the peanut butter with a rubber spatula into the water to 3 cup line for 1 cup of peanut butter. What's nice is the water is cold. So you can just scoop it with your fingers, and it stays in a ball. It's much easier for measuring.

Hey Heather! Great video as always 😁 have you tried making your own meat sticks or jerky? I’d love to see a video/tutorial on that! Have a great day!

Must have taken forever but amazing all the homemade food

You should spray your measuring cup so things like peanut butter or honey or molasses won't stick and it slides out easily

Can I use cookie butter to substitute for the pb?

Have you tried freeze dried fruits and vegetables It's a nice way to preserve everything and it nice as natural snacks

Heather will make the best mother-in-law. She will love her sons-in-law and her daughters-in-law as her own. My mother-in-law has always been so standoffish, and she's like that with everyone. Even my husband isn't fond of her. I lost my mom just before getting married and it would have been nice to get close with my mother-in-law. Sadly, even after 25 years this hasn't happened. She's just so oddly cold. When Heather becomes a Grandma, she will be amazing at that too.❤

I have thought about this, but it might depend on the region for example in the Midwest I see my mom more often, but when the weather gets colder we don’t travel to see each other even people who live next door don’t hang out much because the weather is too cold. I don’t think they would see her as much in the winter time & I also think we just see a short video. A few minutes video isn’t the whole reflection of a family dynamic.
