10 THINGS YOU WON'T SEE OUR FAMILY DOING

[@tericamcginnis5848]

Amen! 🐸😎. One thing I started when my oldest was young. Whoever was present with my time didn't get interrupted. Answering machine (I'm old) would take the message. I could call them back. The person I'm talking to - family, friends, etc.doesn't have to wait while someone interrups. I'll pause a movie, video, book to give my full attention to a question or conversation or arrange a better time to connect. People come first. 💙🐸

[@steveegbert7429]

I haven't had TV for the last 20+ years. I get news and good entertainment from the internet and KZbin. Agreed on not going into debt. I went through bankruptcy once; never again. When I was a kid we always had Christmas at home. Grandparents came over early to join in the Christmas morning excitement and joy and stayed for the day. We were very close knit.

[@alli.iirwin]

My husband and I do not make plans outside our home on Sundays. Sundays are our day of rest, reset, and connection. We also have similar dinner values as your family. While we don’t have kids yet, our dinners are a point of connection and I look forward to it everyday. Thanks for sharing! 🤍✨

Jill I am so happy to see your sweet smile. I've been in a pretty sad place lately. In July I lost my Aunt to brain Cancer. On October 1st my Nana passed away. This week my sister had a Pet scan for her stage 4 breast cancer because the doctor wasn't happy with her numbers. Well, the doctor won't upload the results to the portal until she talks to my sister, so we are preparing for bad news but hopeful for something good. Seeing your smile today made me feel like I was hanging out with my friend Jill and I needed that. Thank you!!

Praying for you in this difficult season of your family’s life..

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

Gosh I’m so sorry to hear all you’re going through. Sounds like this has been a tough year for you and your family. I’m sending prayers of love and comfort your way. Who knows what God is teaching and preparing us for and sometimes it’s really hard to understand when things get tough. Keep your spirits high and your head up and know God is in control

[@OutdoorsandCountryLiving]

We eat meals at the kitchen or dining room table without distractions (electronics, TV, radio, etc.) and pray before eating. Conversation is important during mealtime. We only have one TV in the house and it very rarely gets turned on. We cook from scratch and do not eat out either. Homegrown/raised food, canning, fermenting, etc. Our bodies cannot handle food that is outside our norm. We have physical symptoms if we diverge. We prefer the intentional slower, softer, simpler lifestyle. Blessings to everyone!

[@angelakaufman6153]

We are very similar in our don't do's, especially in celebrating Christmas at home. Our families ran around when we were little, and I remember it just being a rushed chaos. I don't think I really appreciated any gifts received either because we were so rushed in opening everything. We decided we didn't want that for our children, so we stay home in our pajamas all day and really take time in conversation, focusing on the reason for the season, and sharing gifts with each other. We arrange time before or after Christmas to get together with other parts of our family, but the day of is off limits.

Our family prioritizes Sunday for worship and family. Nothing gets put ahead of Sunday am and pm worship services.

[@barbaramason7501]

Great priorities! One thing we always do is a 7 day annual family vacation the week after Christmas. We go to the same area and we have a list of things we always do on each vacation. One of them is a puzzle for the family for the week.

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

Love that tradition! Thanks for sharing

[@brandi1221]

100% agree with your outlook on television. We don’t have a TV in our home at all. We have a computer and a projector we can use for a special family movie night and we have a tablet to use for learning and the occasional show. We also don’t own credit cards or purchase anything we can pay for upfront because of a personal conviction that was impressed upon my husband when we married. We don’t do Halloween because we don’t want to open up our home to the darkness associated with it. You have inspired me so much with your family dinner no electronics rule! I am guilty of using my phone during the meal. Thank you for sharing your heart and life with us ❤

[@sarahferguson4657]

I love the intimate family time on Christmas morning. Our time was encroached on last year, without a warning. My kids were so upset. They said they never want another Christmas with everyone while they open their gifts. It was just chaos. We do shared parenting, so getting quality time is important to us!

[@oliviatyrrell4122]

Unfortunately a lot of these things are hard and nearly impossible with both parents working outside the home, especially when you get home with an hour or less to bedtime 😞

We did this for while and then said he'll with switched jobs and though doesn't pay as much the stress of travel is way less and we have time more to let kiddo go to some things he couldn't before. It was worth it for my kiddo things have been better for him didn't realize how much stress I was putting on him at night rushing here and there rush to cook rush to hw rush to bed it not worth it

Great advice. If something is important enough, you’ll find a way to figure it out

[@kerrifeliciano5752]

What a great video! Thank you for sharing! Intentionality is going to be our family's word of the year for 2025. We do not do two vehicles. I homeschool our children and do not "need" a vehicle. This helps our family get closer to being debt free, allows me to be a stay at the homestead rather than working full time, and keeps us on a routine. Also, it forces me to think ahead. I do not have a vehicle to run out and grab materials or fast food.

I truly love that your family prioritizes connection and intentionality and being present. I also love your viewpoints on the awareness of the value of “things” and experiences.

A couple things we don’t do. Is celebrate any holiday that isn’t in the Bible, Christmas being one of them.

Just because they are blood doesn’t mean we have to compromise!

[@ElaineSimpson-f6w]

Oh my goodness I was reliving how we raised our five children. No cable, to this day no electronics at the dinner table. When we were expecting our first child 35 years ago, we sat down with the grandparents and aunts and uncles, everyone was welcome to come to our home but we never left our home for Christmas. Our children experienced traditions and now the ones that have children, themselves spend Christmas in their own homes with their traditions. I still make a menu for the week. I now live in a very small town in North Dakota, accessibility to shopping is limited and honestly it saves money. You and Nathan are doing a wonderful job. I have so enjoyed the last vlogs about simple living. Simple living is easy if you let go of the conveniences and all the stuff. Blessings to your beautiful family

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

Thank you for sharing ❤️

[@annaohman984]

You describe a life that sounds so appealing to me but my family live the opposite on many points. We eat together, we do not over schedule and we try to keep Christmas slow. We only travel if we have savings for it. But the day to day life is rushed, hectic and stressful. (Partly due to neurodivergence affecting 2 out of 4 in the family.) But we also work many hours and in the evening everyone is drained of energy. This inspired me to think about why we live like this and what we could do to change. Often it comes down to working to pay the mortgage and to buy stuff. Thinking that stuff is actually not important and intentionally working to pay off our mortgage would further down the road give us freedom to change our life.

[@candicecullengrowcooknourish]

My boys are all grown now, but they didn't grow up eating fast food, we encouraged memories over things, played and explored outside together as much as possible. We didn't do big vacations either, camping, hiking and fun activities nearby were our go to adventures. We made them wait well past their peers for cell phones, video games, etc. When they were little we always ate together and sang a blessings song before eating. We always spent Christmas at home with my mom coming over early to be with us for the day. We also don't have cable and our tv is rarely turned on. We used to do Friday night family movie night. Like you we created intentional evening routines, my husband and I would take turns reading books to our boys which instilled in them a love of reading. Now as adults our intentional living while they were kids has paid off as I see how they care for themselves and what their priorities are now. I could go on and on about this. I love your approach around these things.

We have NEVER traveled or left the house on Christmas Day.

[@amylovegrove817]

We moved out and I said no tv in the living room my moms house never had one there. We also won’t over schedule our child or force her to rush. I stay home and sacrifice so she can have slow mornings and calm evenings. Christmas to me is about family, so I’m fine with going to my moms on the years my brother is in town and doing the mornings together with a big breakfast it would still be chill, we’d go over in our pjs and then have a slow start there. Or she will come be apart of our mornings, it’s just the three of us and she’s really close to my daughter.

No to as much processed foods as possible. Hard no for food dyes and chemical ingredients. No to toxics in our home...soaps, smells, cleaning products, candles...etc Seems me say no to a lot...haha

We have lived in this house three years and we don't have a TV in our main living room either (main floor). We have two TVs...my workout room and the family room in the basement. I honestly LOVE not having a TV on the main floor at all. My husband dislikes it during football season but he watches so much less football now days anyway it does not really matter.

[@Balanced_Waters]

I agree with you on the Christmas thing. We used to be out all day Christmas and Thanksgiving. We would get up rush through our gifts go to my family's house, 2 separate houses at one point, then to my husband's family, which is also another 2 or 3 houses. It was so chaotic. A few years ago we decided no more. Our 2 kids were little and they were so overwhelmed. So we planned Christmas usually the week before partly because my sister would go see our dad in Ohio for Christmas (we are in Texas) so that took care of that, my family also started getting along so it condensed it down to just 1 stop. We also do Christmas eve with one part of my husband's family, his mom has come over to our house the last couple years then we spend Christmas afternoon with his dad. It is so much more enjoyable still a lot of back and forth but not all in the same day.

[@sarahhall3243]

We also don’t and have never aloud electronics at the table. We went out for a meal for our daughters birthday last week and I was so saddened by the number of tables where the kids where sat on tablets and even a few with headphones in and even a few tables where everyone was sat on phones. Even my little boy (only 8) commented at one particular table “Mam no one is talking to each other at that table, that’s sad”

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

That is so sad 😞

[@roxannehernandez3131]

In regards to the dinner table meals, this is from an article recently and even though 30% seems extreme, this number has definitely changed: "From 2015-2019, the results moved in a narrow range from a low of 43% who reported sitting down together every day in 2016 to a high of 48% in 2018. But in 2020 the daily response jumped to 54%. Another 18% reported gathering for meals a few times a week. Only 3% said their family never ate dinner together."

[@ElizabethBarnes2Warrior]

Advent (and a Jesse Tree as well!) is a wonderful family devotional tradition anticipating both Christ’s birth celebrated at Christmas, and His coming again, following the stories through the Old Testament that lead to His birth. One or both incorporated together! For one example of ideas on this, check out Ann Voscamp’s options of books based on the original one “The Greatest Gift” and resources for the symbolic ornaments on this, very lovely and child-oriented! There is a wonderful pop-up tree version book to hang the symbolic ornaments on! There is also a unique style (actually the original tradition) of an Advent wreath called Cradle to the Cross with daily counting with a candle, made by one son with “the Keeping Company”. These can become family heirlooms with the tradition! I grew up with the 5-candled Advent wreath at church and home, but a few years ago began to use the other, making the season throughout December very intentionally focused and reflective in this new way, really beautiful! There is also a book by Ruth Graham called “One Wintry Night” that is the story of a women telling a visiting neighbor boy snowed in (Appalachia!) about these! Some ways to share family focus on Christ!

Going into debt is rarely a reasonable choice. Only when the other option for basic survival is MORE expensive. Examples include renting a car vs borrowing money to buy one or using the laundromat instead of charging the purchase of a washer. Even then there are often options people don’t consider-like hand washing clothes or sharing rides (contributing to the cost of gas, of course). My mindset has always been kinda like if you don’t have it then you don’t. Like eating food that isn’t there, it’s just a silly idea to even consider spending money you don’t have. You can’t. You don’t have it.

[@survivor4041]

I would stop the car on the side of the road and the kids and I would literally walk through the bush, and I would teach them about the different trees, when as a single mom i wanted to stay in shape as I had three young uns, the kids and I would exercise on the back porch, lol it was cute to see them using the mini bells and how they would lift with me as I did weights. We baked bread and twisters together. All my kids could make bread from scratch at the age of four. (and also ate it as quickly) We would play football at the local highschool on the weekends just me and my kids, I tried to keep them active as I could afford such as bike riding around the track and other activities, all my kids learned to swim and were involved in cubs, girl guides, sparks and rangers. I wanted them to have a good social outlet. My kids didnt spend alot of time on the tv, they joined sports activities after school in the community of their own free will, so I was very pleased with that. We also did alot of art activities, I tried to encourage their creativity as much as I could. I have to add that we also had a movie night and popcorn, many times discussions took place around the table during suppers.

I have a question about kids toys. Do your girls have a lot of toys? I'm a homesteading mama that does all the things, milk the cows, grow/preserve the food, cook from scratch, sourdough etc. I have a 3 year old and 4 year old and one due in May. We don't have a lot of things however it seems like I'm constantly getting rid of kids toys and they're always strung out. We don't buy our kids toys, however they have grandparents that love to. So as you've been making homemaking content, wondering how you manage the things that come along with kids or what things you've implemented to help ease your load with kids things.

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

@@taylorblecher4160 great question. We definitely limit toys and if we do buy them we like to invest in wooden toys that can be passed down from kid to kid, but we try to buy more ‘supplies’ that sparks the kids to be creative versus plastic toys that break and will need to be thrown away. We were just pretty honest with our families in regards to buying the kids toys and ask them not to, and we don’t do gifts for birthdays either to eliminate this, so for parties we just ask the kids friends to ‘make them’ something instead of buying which is way more personal in our opinion anyways :)

As my kids grew older, we/they often had pretty different schedules in the afternoon (work, kids' sports, etc.) and couldn't often eat dinner together--so we made breakfast our "family table" meal. We always ate a homemade, healthful but easy breakfast meal together (scrambled eggs and toast, French toast, oatmeal with lots of fruit, etc.). Plus I found this much easier to cook and clean up than it was to make a full evening meal for 5 after a hard day at work, and we still had some lovely family time together.

So interesting! Traveling and vacations are a priority for me. My young teen daughter just said the other night, “I’m ready to go on a trip, mom,” so we planned something for Thanksgiving week. On that note, I’ve started a new tradition where I take each of my kids on a trip, just them, and my son and I are heading to Costa Rica and Panama in June and my daughter and I will go to Europe in 2026. I have kids from 25-6, so it’s been fun to see how our priorities have evolved over the years. This was a great reminder to be intentional and to stop and evaluate.

[@marthathompson2012]

I think tv and radio-media in general-is far too prevalent in most of our lives. Especially since people tend to be so passive about it and unquestioning, unqualifying, non discriminatory. They just don’t really think about what they’re consuming, who is producing it, if there’s any agenda or purpose, and what their impact might be. They don’t set any guidelines or parameters for themselves. I grew up in a home without cable, back when tv stations signed off with the national anthem every night-but also where the tv was almost always on. It was a turnoff for me, and I rejected that. In my young family we limited tv to an hour or two a few times per week but not consecutive days. Now my kids are all grown, and we don’t have a tv. I do watch KZbin channels-but mostly information based, like yours. And comedy. I do like to laugh.

*Said with love* 💕 I’m just going to throw this out there. Take it or leave it. Could you be on the spectrum, level 1? Which would cause your desire to have a simple life? You mentioned the children did not like the Florida vacation but when you released the video, you were the one struggling with being off your normal routine. You didn’t enjoy not having your normal at home routine, coffee, plus the sand and heat bothered you. You were really struggling. When I watched it back then, I related to your video. I was curious, if you’re neurodivergent and your desire to stay regulated by staying on your schedule and away from chaos you cannot control is a result of the way God created you as you are. I’ve also been curious if Sweet Miah is also neurodivergent based off his original Facts about Miah (spelling?) video. I say this lovingly. It’s okay to be as God created you just as you are. 💞🤗🙏🏻🫶🏻 B-AZ-UR
