Fantastic instructional video. Too bad about the sound. Hoping it might be better on the tv as apposed to my phone.

Ohhhh Jill, when you were talking about yourself from a couple years ago and deconstructing your personal perspective of yourselfs worth being from your work… me… then talking about doing all those momma things and feeling defeated and unaccomplished at the end of the day bc you didn’t supply income… that’s my season I’m in right now. Your words brought tears up in my eyes bc it feels like your talking about me. God bless you!! Your speaking directly to this momma who use to work and the Lord put it heavy on my heart to come home to take care of our kids.

Such a great vlog. Thank you!! I don't have kids but I'm a dog mama and work from home full time. This was still great for me! The reminders that we can do it too is helpful for me! Love that you're a Christian family also! ❤

I’ve really enjoyed your video since you guys moved to the old Roots and Refuge homestead. Beautiful bideography and content. Yes, I would love to have planner. I am a retired new gardener and am getting into the multiple season gardening and I would love to document my journey for my children to encourage and assist them as new gardeners also. Thanks so much for your hard work.

Lovely video! I love your knowledge. After letting the fire cider brew for a few weeks as you mentioned in your video….. I am assuming you strain off the liquid. How do you store the fire cider and how long does it stay fresh? Do you add honey to it? How much fire cider do you take?

Thank you for your videos- at this point, do you start using your starter to begin making bread?

Thank you for being one of the few videos about making money homesteading that doesn’t revolve around content creation!! I swear every video I’ve looked up has been “edit videos/ audio” “make a KZbin channel” “get advertising on your social media platforms” this is extremely helpful and informative!!

Agree 100% I previously made to do list primarily for the purpose of checking it off and showing how much I have gotten done. 💜

Excited for fall and fall flavors! My daughter who is 11 yrs old and into baking said today that she is excited to make a bunch of fall treats she saw online :)

I can’t get my starter going. I try and try with the dehydrated starter I was given 100yr old Amish family starter and it just isn’t working lol. I’m a standard breads person and I’m not a “huge” fan of sourdough because I haven’t been given the opportunity to try it “well” and there is a serious learning curve with the starter. I’ve tried many ways people say and/or their classes and nada 😂

This video made me cry ❤

Just subscribed I'm just starting over on KZbin but I feel the same way I just want it to be recording stuff I'm already at home doing

Always love to hear from you Jill! Was so blessed to meet you at the Ozarks Expo. We have social media, I teach classes online and in person, I have 2 rabbitry books out and 2 more books coming shortly and I absolutely love the teaching and community aspect. You’re awesome!

You are like the energizer bunny. oh wow!!

What an amazing team you and Nath are!! I love how you always make the time to acknowledge each other with a kiss or a hug when either walks into the room. Good role models for healthy family dynamics for the young uns in any family.

Love your view on gardening and growing and will continue to watch your journey! I gently urge you to consider your kids privacy and safety when including them in videos . 🙏💙

It is crazy that you guys are ready and able to do big things this soon after having little Ziggy! I'm so proud of you guys! Thanks so much for always making a video to share about your experiences, I really love them. The chatty videos are my favorite! I'm so happy that you guys had a great time at the homesteading expo! Maybe I'll see you at the Harvest Festival at Baker Creek next month?

Jill, Nathan, I am a social scientist, with a completely different life from yours. But maybe this take on work and family care aligns with what you said here: In feminist social sciences/economics it is very much established, that care work is the unpaid labour that ensures the reproduction of paid labour. While your case is different (because you are a business woman yourself) , this is exactly why capitalism is tied to patriarchy. It is usually women who are forced to stay home and do unpaid reproductive work (supplementing men), because they are penalized on a male dominated labour market. Their care work is not recognized as the hard work it is!!! You two are doing fantastic breaking both norms!!! Don't be so hard on yourself.

Thank you for sharing this! We are in the beginning of a similar journey.. it can be overwhelming sometimes, but we are so excited about it!

What is the to do list app? I have an (ancient) IPhone and I don’t know about it.

Thank you for all the encouragement and support Jill

Another reminder thst I missed the bundle by a day!! Makes me want to cry!!! But getting to look at that sweet baby helps!!

How do you sell your courses? Like how do you make the sales? I was about to do this too but when I realized how time consuming the sales part was I stopped. My mentor wanted me to do live streams to get clients to sign up for a sales call and it was very intense to me. I was not comfortable with that process.

I missed the bundle by a day!! I had the form open on onevof the 1st days and went to get the credit card out and got sidetracked. I am so sick right now!

Thank you for making this video! I appreciate you sharing personal content to help others grow in their own lives. ♥️

Loving your videos ! I really love ones like this 😊 Totally agree with time blocking - it’s a game changer !

This is so awesome can't wait to get one. I'm struggling with the garden. Seems like I can win in my garden.

It’s lovely seeing you on KZbin regularly and I think your doing an amazing job 💞🌸💞

It might seem like nothing, but the best thing I did for my work/life balance was completely blackout my bedroom. It obviously has a light, but the windows were covered, the walls were soundproofed, all the electronics were removed. No lamps, no tv, no noise, no anything. I take my phone to bed at 8pm on "do not disturb" and the alarm wakes me at 4:08am. If I wake up in the middle of the night, I can't see anything and mostly I just go back to sleep. Proper sleep makes everything so much easier. Obviously, Jill and Nate won't know much about proper sleep for a little while yet, but I hope some others with no little ones might see my logic.

Ziggy wrapped and sucking on his fingers is soooo adorable! He looks like Nathan, which I think is fair since Charlie and June look so much lick you. And You look great! You and Nate work so hard! You guys make us so proud! 😘

Thank you for explaining. We are all in different sesons. My season has changed. My kid are all grown and starting their families. Im a grandma. My day is helping others..started a new garden for next year and now training a puppy. Thanks for inspiring

Thanks.

Please continue to do some teaching. Thank you.

Thank you for this, Jill!! Perfect timing. 💕 But on a serious note..... what time do you be going to bed, doe? 👀

Looooooved this video!! ❤

I have used both lists and time blocking for a very long time. When I stopped working “ at a job” outside, I learned I had to set up my schedule. So I’ve done it for decades and am quite surprised to hear that other people do not do this. I have a more complex system - every 10 days on the Notes. The top list is what has to be done in those 10 days. Then list each day the appointments and the specifics for that day. That list will be ticked off at the end of the day. Yes some things do not get done. We also have been saying no to things that are not useful or meaningful to us. All great ideas indeed.

Love t have a recipe for sour dough bread step by step

Are you a homeschooling family?

I want to learn sourdough so badly….I’m 75 and never tried it…..but I really want to!!! 😂😂😂 I can’t imagine having my baby strapped to me all the time…..it’s so cool! We didn’t do that when I had my kids….I feel left out!!! You’re amazing!!!!❤❤❤

Pumping out these videos lately Jill! Nice to see you so frequently!❤

Just ignore your husband!! 😂 aww poor Nate!

Aww I hate I missed you in MO!! :)

Such a peaceful home!! 🥰

It's funny that you say it's a rainy "fall day" when fall doesn't actually begin until Sunday, the 22...lol..at least you're feeling it where you live, because it doesn't feel that way here in Southern California sadly....

I'm almost 65 years old but after having nine children, I still, to this day, catch myself standing in the grocery store swaying back and forth as I look at the shelves or wait at the cash as if soothing my baby.

Raw butter?! I've never seen that on azure before? 😍

I’ve had the same sourdough starter for the last 10 years or so, today I went to pull it out of the fridge to feed it up and found it all black and moldy, so now I need a new starter, I can’t remember how I made the last one

That baby sound is so beautiful! Blessings to your family always!

Hi Jill! I just tried to purchase the bundle and it wouldn’t let me. Keeps saying declined, and I’ve tried several cards, all have available funds. Is there a glitch on the website?! I know this is the last day/hours to purchase, I’m just wondering if there’s any chance it’s going to extended because I’d love to get this bundle, but something’s going wrong with the site.

I would LOVE a planner like this to start my homestead and home grown herbs!!!!
