Being able to be still and watch your video brings me such peace. Nothing you do seems rushed and it just really reminded me to slow down. Thank you 💕

[@nicoledennis-lawrence-lg6lc]

Refreshing and calming!

[@cherylpresleigh6403]

First, May I just say how wonderful all the food looked today! The delicious bread, muffins and dinner! What a fabulous find with the tulips! I loved the tea kettle used as a vase, it looked like something I would have done. A very peaceful and relaxing video that has left me encouraged and inspired. HAPPY MOTHERS DAY Kelsey. 🌼🌸

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

Aw thank you Cheryl! I’m so very glad you enjoyed today’s video ☺️ Happy Mother’s Day to you! Blessings 🤍

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️

[@erinr86]

Thank you for this beautiful video; for sharing your day with us. What a wonderful idea you gave with the tulips and kettle. I am inspired to use your creative ideas. The flowers, bread, blueberry muffins, from the view of your garden and chickens and the music you used was just what I needed after a busy (but productive) day. I also enjoy the scripture at the end of the video. Blessings to you and your family, wishing you a wonderful Mother’s Day.

Just found you. Your Brown Bread LOOKS FANTASTIC. And the Blueberry Lemon Ricotta Muffins....SUPER. Will be trying to bake both. I may cut the Blueberry Muffin recipe in 1/2 first...to see if we like them. Thank you for sharing. Will be looking forward to more of your videos. Aria

[@HoffmansHalfAcreHomestead]

Thank you so much for all of your content. You have definitely inspired me to be as productive as I can be on our small acreage. We also live in south central PA so it’s nice to see what varieties you’re growing / do well for our zone. Thank you so much for also showing the kids space definitely made me feel better lol.😂 I am always resetting my kids play area.

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

Thank you for being here! I’m glad it’s been helpful to you, and how cool that you are close by! Have a lovely Mother’s Day! ❤️

The brown bread sounds amazing, now i know what my bread recipe for the day.

[@joselynsebright6374]

I really enjoy your content. Keep it coming. Your baking skills amaze me. Made my husband watch your bread for the month video. We are going to tackle those recipes one of these weekends. Thanks for sharing. 😊

[@aly_b]

Oh, I'll make sure to try those muffins 🤤 yummy.

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

Enjoy friend!

[@vickiiluvboxers4191]

Hi Kelsey, Let's talk about peaceful for a moment. The music and arranging of the tulips was so peaceful I feel asleep. So, I'll be coming back tomorrow to watch the entire video. The whole video ran but I was busy...LOL...napping! And, the nap was refreshing. Thank you!! ♥♥♥

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

Haha! Sometimes naps are just what we need! Blessings ❤️

[@captaintreepig993]

My kids always helped clean their toys away every morning before lunch or before we went out anywhere as well as before bedtime. It helped them to appreciate and look after their toys. Great video as always thanks for sharing.

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

Eleanor was helping me here, I just didn’t show it. Grant on the other hand has this idea that toys are best left all over 😂 he is 2 and we are still working on direction. If I want a clean home(for a brief moment LOL) toys are best cleaned up when he sleeps, for now ☺️ but I absolutely agree, it really helps them appreciate what they have! Thanks for watching ❤️

[@captaintreepig993]

@@seedandsparrowhomestead You are clearly doing great already, I'm just sharing my own experience. You are obviously a great mummy.x

What a nice way to start my day. Such a nice video. So your bread reminds me of a bread I make called Amadama bread (not sure if that’s the correct spelling ) thank you 💖🇨🇦

I’m so glad you enjoyed Lyn! Thank you ❤️

This was beautiful❤❤❤❤❤

I love this video ❤️ so peaceful. Also... I'm going to need to make some of that bread!

Thanks Girlfriend, it’s yummy and especially good with all our typical “dutchy” foods 😁

[@debbieyzuel7887]

Your children are adorable

[@sharonbooda2544]

I made the muffins. I didn’t have maple syrup so I used honey. Not super sweet but so incredibly moist! Will make again and use the maple syrup next time.

[@cydney3283]

super cute, love the white.

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

Thank you ☺️ ❤️

Shark steam mop is my FAVORITE. But I do still wet mop. I alternate.

[@petronille874]

Bonjour de France j apprecie beaucoup vos videos et vous en remercie, pour les pates carbonara utilisez les jaunes et pas les blancs vous verrez c est bien meilleur

[@suem1703]

I love this video! Where do you buy your David Austin roses? Online or does a store near you carry them. I tried to get some, but most are sold out. I’m going to make that bread this week. It looks delicious!

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

Thank you Sue! I order direct from their site in January as soon as the new stock launches, they sell out fast! I hope you enjoy the bread! ❤️❤️❤️

[@connielouhoo]

I have e-cloth mop that you only use water. It kills 99% of all the germs. You just throw the pad in the washing machine and brings it back to like new. I have used them for years and swear by them. there is a little expense on the front end, but well worth it.

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

Thank you for this info! I’m gonna check it out ☺️🤍

[@reginagosse417]

What a relaxing beautiful video!❤❤ You amaze every time. I don’t usually comment but I just needed to let you know that you actually brought me peace at the end of a very stressful and sad day. Thank you.❤❤

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

Im so sorry this day has been a tough one! I’m glad you found some peace ❤️ Have a lovely weekend friend!

[@ashleyirizarry-diaz6415]

Can you do a video on growing strawberries please?!

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

I can try and incorporate some pointers in a future video! ☺️

[@vintagecurio676]

You can add a bit of the hot pasta water to create a more sauce and also cook the egg a bit more. Thanks for sharing can wait to bake the bread recipe.

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

Great tip! Thank you ❤️

Cherry tomatoes are delicious put on after dishing it up ♥️

Thank you! Have a lovely weekend ☺️❤️

[@ktpieallen]

I love the way you edit and stitch your videos together and the way you narrate it’s very calming. As a homemaking homesteader with two little boys and 34 weeks pregnant sometimes I like to watch videos like this for motivation in the morning while I have my coffee and your videos help me to not feel anxious

[@erikalouwrens3992]

Oh! I was hoping you would show us your columbines! Thank you. This was a lovely peaceful video and I enjoyed every moment of it ❤❤❤

Hi do you have a video of how you made your chicken feeder and for water? Also enjoying your videos ❤️

[@laurielyon1892]

That bread looked amazing!!! I need to make some homemade bread again! I love the way the house smells. The muffins looked really good as well. Those tulips sure looked beautiful! Such a precious moment with your little boy. So glad you were able to capture it!

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

Thank you so much Laurie! ❤️☺️

[@angelenerash5160]

The tulips in the tea pot 😍 Thank you for your honesty and transparency in what goes on behind the scenes. I'm sure we are all there or have been and your encouragemnt to still do something lovely or "extra" is so helpful to being content and finding joy in your current season of life. Bless you friend! Happy Mother's Day!!

Enjoyed.

[@kellysharp5520]

For mopping, I vacuum first and then I mop with my feet. I mix vinegar and water in a spray bottle and then use a bath towel and use my feet. I spray as I go. I do that once a week for a deeper clean but my daily mop is a swiffer wet jet

[@miephoex]

You don’t let them help you clean up the toys?

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

Sometimes! They have certain tasks I expect them to do. Eleanor was helping me here you just didn’t see, she is 5. Grant just turned 2 and we are still working on direction. Sometimes he helps and sometimes he undoes all the cleaning 😂

[@ktpieallen]

The oh cedar mop that has two reservoirs, one for clean water and one for dirty is an amazing mop!!!! It gets my floors really clean and then I use a steam mop about once a month to really lift things out of the grout and deep clean.

[@dflor50]

Thanks so much for sharing. I’m always impressed!

[@lealight3023]

How stunningly beautiful are those white tulips. 😍😍
