I left the conversation encouraged!! What a lady!

I pray that this series will be a blessing to you and your children throughout the year as you introduce them to missions. The beautiful thing about missions is that it is the heartbeak of God!

Praise the Lord! We are about to hit our 2 year mark on the field, and I am excited as well. I think the emphasis will be good for me and my chidlren as I share these interviews with them.

Hello! 5 boys - what a blessing!! We are located near Parramatta. My husband pastor's Living Waters Baptist Church in Parra. I hope the channel is a blessing to you!

I am not familiar with that info. Very interesting. I'll have to research that out more. We live in Australia, so Thrive Market is not an option for us here.

@@NoHigherCalling I wasn't sure if you all were still there. I've always wanted to visit Austrilia!

Glad it was helpful!

I'd love to know your powdered detergent recipe if you'd like to share!

@@NoHigherCalling Of course! I cannot find the name of the lady I got the recipe from, so just suffice it to say that this isn’t my original recipe. 🤎 Homemade Nontoxic Laundry Detergent: • 2 cups washing soda (bake baking soda at 400 degrees for 1-2 hours until grainy) • 2 cups baking soda • 2/3 cup epsom salt • 3 Tablespoons Salt • (optional) 20-30 drops essential oil of choice for scent Mix it all up and use 1 Tablespoon per load, or 2 Tablespoons for a bigger or greasier load! *Bonus Tip* I like to use 1/2 cup white vinegar in the fabric softener slot of the washer :) Why these ingredients? Washing soda has a high alkalinity, helping to remove grease and stains. Baking soda helps to soften the water and keep clothes bright. Epsom salts help to soften fabric and remove dirt. And salt is a natural purifier, it's great at keeping your colors and whites bright and removing stains!

Thank you so much for this!

I'm so glad to hear the video was helpful! I hope you find the perfect math choice for your family!

We bought that in a store in Australia, and I can't find one like it on US Amazon. So sorry! It is a fun activity!

I'm glad you enjoyed the video! I look forward to checking out your content!

The main purpose of this video was to share how we make the geography units very missions centric as that is a huge focus of our family and faith. That's why it was so interwoven throughout the video 🤍 And as far as cultural music goes, we tend to focus on the traditional folk music of the culture

No, her books usually quote other versions

Oh it's very Christ-centered! That's one of the reasons we love it so much. The author does use a different Bible version than we do (we use KJV, and most of the curriculum is ESV I believe) and a few doctrinal differences have popped up on rare occasions, but her heart for weaving God and the Bible into everything is evident!

Nothing fancy! Just my Samsung s21 phone. We're hoping to get a good light soon

I apologize for not responding! For some reason, I missed this comment. I'm assuming you already had your baby, and I hope it went well and was all you dreamed of! To answer your question, my natural births have been home births. I don't have the option of an epidural, and that makes all the difference. When you have no choice but to push through, you do :) Also having a support system to encourage you along the way is HUGE!

Thank you! ❤️

Yes! Their reactions made my mama heart so happy 🤍 Thank you 🥰

🎉 Love you guys!! And yes, Eden's reaction was priceless! 🥰🥹

Thank you! ❤️

The shelf and baskets are from ikea, but we purchased them here in Australia so that might make a difference. I'm glad you enjoyed the video! It was fun to make 😊

They are welcome to get into the boxes on the lowest shelf since those have their toys in them. The toddler knows to put books back when she's done. The baby is another story 🙃

Also, we have a few "resets" throughout our day where we tidy the house. So when it's not that time (ex. when I'm schooling my older kids and the baby is making a book mountain) I don't worry about it bc I know we'll get to cleaning up after lessons. That's helped keep me from stressing and picking up 1000x

That’s a good idea. Thank you. Let it go until it’s clean up time.

Yay! So glad you enjoyed it!

Oh that's a bummer! My oldest daughter and I have sensitive skin, so we also have to be careful with fragrances

Do you have washing soda available? I've found several diy laundry detergent recipes that use that instead of borax or lye

Hope it's as helpful to your family as it's been to ours! 🤍

Thank you!! He is SO good! 🙌

thank you for the prayers! God answered!! 🤍

I know! 😭 We'll miss you guys, but especially Link! 💙😭🥰😉

Thank you SO much!

Oh yes! We love those!

He is!! Times like that really grown our faith as we depend on Him for strength and guidance.

So neat!! It's definitely an amazing place. Thank you so much for the prayers! We are so excited to see what God has for our future!

I absolutely LOVE that song!! ❤️

Haha yes!! Had to dig deep to find the decor and clothes though 😉😁

You're welcome! ❤️

Aww! I hope it's a blessing to your home like this time has been to ours 🤍

Thank you!! ❤️
