A raw vlog in the milk room (I broke my camera.) | VLOG

[@debbiejohnston8920]

When I was a little girl, my grandpa had a small herd of Jersey cows. When my parents, my older brothers, and I visited I would sneak out of bed at dawn to go and do the morning milking with him. He and I would each bring a mug and drink frothy cupfuls of fresh milk, still warm from the cow. It was always just the two of us and felt like such a special treat! He passed away several years ago and sold his herd several years before that, but those peaceful morning milkings are still one of my most treasured memories more than twenty years later.

Girl! Life happens. My 3 and 4 year old locked themselves in a bathroom without the entire door handle assembly on and my father-in-law had to come rescue them all while the baby was screaming. Life’s not perfect, yours just happens to be on film. Thank you for being transparent with us. We bless you!!!❤️

[@shannonbrice8012]

That reminds me of the time I ran the garbage outside and I was in a hair wrap and house coat (just finished showering). My 2.5 year old decided to lock the door behind me (my 1 year old was in her playpen). I didn't have a phone or keys. I asked her to please open the door and she said "mommy, I don't know how". I had to run to the neighbours to phone my mom. She brought the back up key but she knocked on the door and said "hunny, grandma would like to visit with you but the door is locked". My daughter said "okay gamma" and proceeded to unlock the door.

"Sometimes you get to see the mess that is me".........We love the mess that is Jess!! Thanks for keeping it real! You are an inspiration in every way. Thank you!!!

Oh Jess, you’re not a mess…you’re just the best! Thanks for being real…🥰

[@teslinjoe5938]

Poor Asher can't get away from the camera! Such a sweetie.

[@lisah.8838]

He looks like my teenager. lol

[@Sky-Child]

It must be hard at that age

[@amyharris7337]

Warm milk straight from the cow. That's so awesome! Reminds me of the book Heidi and her grandfather milking the goats and giving her warm, fresh goat's milk.

[@teresamariner4238]

And making beautiful memories!!

[@jenniferchristiansen2040]

I love Miah's practical fixes, Ezera's commentary and your reality. Thank you.

[@PatrickPoet]

Whenever we get a glimpse of Asher I always like the hair. I color my hair and most the people I've hung out with most of my life color their hair and it's just such a festive thing. It's art. It's a deliberate choice to decorate yourself in a way that suits you. That's all.

[@mariskascheepers4133]

I love the "REAL" of you, thank you for always sharing that! And thank you for the videos ❤

[@kmarshall53]

Always an adventure! How cool to be privileged to drink milk straight from the cow with maple syrup! Hunter is a take charge kind of guy - great job milking! Glad your camera is still working! 💖🥰

[@tammywright8290]

Couldn't agree more...

[@WalkingScriptureWithShanna]

Hunter is definitely a farmer kid!

[@lanak.fromnewmexico1143]

Aww, that had to freak you out a bit!🤗. You're not a mess though. You've got how many little boys all around you talking and excited about their special milk 🤗. You're the best mama Jess!🤗 . The pigs'll definitely appreciate Helen putting her tail in the milk. 😊🙏. We love you Jess!🤗🙏 ❤️. God bless you and thank you for taking us along with you tonight.

[@TheTinkerersWife]

How fun getting to drink maple milk. The boys are such a delight. Ya know, getting to see the less polished Jess is probably my favorite thing in this video. We all know you're regular people, but seeing it on camera today was so close to standing in the milk room with you. Being out in Oregon I'm still dreaming of visiting.

[@gaylarichardson6080]

I loved seeing the kids and watching their excitement getting that milk straight from the udder. Good job little Mama. Making good memories

[@jessicakivett7838]

"and it just doesn't go well with maple syrup!" 🤣

[@cheriebrinker3301]

Always a pleasure to see Asher!! Roots and Refuge on the farm. Good times!

[@mmegraham]

Asher's manner reminds me of one of my sons. He's awesome.

[@Sky-Child]

Asher's fab.

[@kathycannon4805]

That’s some low key chaos you’ve got going there.

[@deborahcarson5927]

What a wonderful memory for those boys getting warm milk from a real cow ❤️ I just love your farm life ❤️🙌🏻

[@medaily57]

Speaking for myself, and I am sure, most of your followers, we love that you are human, and sometimes messy! Glad the camera is ok! 💖🌷💖

[@collinsddc1206]

Thoroughly enjoyed the video on root vegetables, I’m 70’s and have never liked radishes until I had cooked them from watching another homesteader and so glad I watched yours to reaffirm that, sooooooo I’ve decided to give it another go and grow a few diff varieties this fall and roast them! Also I’ve decided after watching you with the shoshito peppers, I’m growing those next yr as well, thank you so very much!

[@DjChelan]

So happy your camera did not break sweetie! I felt your heart drop with this one! Thank you for sharing fresh milk show with the boys! So fun!

[@KathysTube]

A handful of boys....I remember those days 😂 and you handled it all like a pro! Thanks for sharing Jess 🤗❤️

[@wandajohnson1505]

Jess the video recordings you make for us all is so valuable we praise God your camera wasn’t damaged. “ We bless you and your family”:-)

[@GossMania]

Another Day and Another Blessings on the Farm. I am so happy for y'all such a beautiful place your Farm is Turing into. I do love Miah's way that he did the feed trough for the milk station so you can clean it and the leach for her halter so she won't move. Many blessings Friends!

[@susieclark1498]

So cute of the boys drinking their maple syrup milk. boys make my heart sing. So glad your camera survived. Love from S. CA.

[@terrytt2932]

What an incredible memory for those boys.... thanks so very much for sharing💌

[@sunshineinfla222]

You are not a mess, you are a natural beauty!!!

[@miriantalbot6772]

You just gave your boys a great experience ..something to remember ..when I was a kid I used to go get milk early bin the morning and our milk family always handed me a cup of warm fresh milk out the cow ...you just brought me a childhood memory ..thank you so much ..sorry about your camera!

[@ПавлинаЖелева-л6б]

Oh, memories... I never liked sheep's milk couse it smells funny. Till the day I helped the neighbours with taking theyr sheeps home for milking and they gave me a liter of the milk. Still warm and so so tasty 😊 Nothing beats raw milk 😁

[@sharonreidinger1247]

I love the fact that you show your true self. I'm glad your camera was still working. ❤

[@TheHouseboat1]

I loved this blog outside of seeing you upset, I would have howled if that had been my camera. I loved the realness of seeing the kids and fun of life with a family. You are amazing!

[@jahlivesalways7494]

Life happens.....life is messy and you are not! Continue just the way you are young lady!

[@TerrieAllred2023]

Couldn't believe how Hunter just jumped right in there and was FAST milking! Future cowboy!

[@ArtByKarenEHaley]

Good afternoon, R and R. Had a rough day today, glad to see a video from you after such a rough one... Woke up to our car gone. The family wagon with the car seats and some other special items like my son's bedtime buddy (stuffed fox),gone while we slept in the living room with the windows open. Makes us feel unsafe. Stressed. It has already been very difficult. Then later this afternoon we got the news that the auto shop my hubby has been working for has sold and he will be laid off at the beginning of September. He just went through two weeks of being laid off at his other job. We are surviving but not thriving at the moment.

[@charlenefrancisfrancis1733]

Praying for your family

[@cynthiafisher9907]

I’m so sorry! I will pray for you.

[@teresamariner4238]

Adding you and yours to my prayer list. Hopefully your car will be found intact, car seats and all, including your little ones sleep buddy. God bless you, and He loves you. He knows our needs and provides for us. Hope these problems are all turned into blessings by His hands for the Father's greater glory.

[@dianasnider786]

Dearest Abba, we come before You this evening asking that You calm the hearts of this family. Bring back their feeling of safety by placing a hedge of protection around each family member, their home and their vehicles. Please show them how much You love them and how truly protected they are from this moment forward. Create a perfect job for the head of this household all though You are and will always be the head of Your Children's households. Breathe into them Your Peace, Your Mercy and Your Grace in the days, months and years to come. In Jesus's most Holy and Precious name Amen and AMEN!!!

[@marking-time-gardens]

@@dianasnider786 Amen!

[@OurZip-TiedCottage]

My heart skips a beat when I drop my phone, so I can only imagine dropping a camera. I’m glad you’re still able to use it! Fresh milk sounds…amazing. :)

[@occultpriestess]

I am so impressed!

[@ElderandOakFarm]

Loved this video! Hunter did a great job! Glad the camera didn't break- as a fellow KZbinr- I know the struggle!

[@deannewilliams3321]

I wish you could see the ad for this video, it’s a super cute henhouse that looks like your feed room with the stained walls. And totally loving the milking setup progress! I wish I could buy some of your milk! She looked like she thoroughly enjoyed her spa day 🐄 🥰

[@Jazzgirlaust]

Jess the real you is the real life of every woman, so don't be worried that we all see it... we live it too! In fact for me, seeing the real life trials & tribulations others go through to survive & thrive, gives me a kind of solace on days (or weeks), like the one I'm having. So I thank you for including us in the good, the bad, the ugly & the beautiful things in your life. Blessings to you & all your lovely family.

[@ellilock1]

Kudos to Hunter for trying something new and very different. This is not my experience entertaining my boys’ friends.

[@tinamichelle7212]

Love the UGA mug!! Those boys are so excited!!! Wished I could have done that with my kids. Idid teach them how to grow their own food though! Great video Jessica

[@DiandBilly]

The real you is funny. I love the 'real' of all those boys living it up with some maple milk.

[@leighdegenhardt485]

Jessica it's called being real.... And no one does it better or more graciously than you! Blessings!

[@sarahfuller5199]

Jess I cannot tell you how inspiring you are to me and my family. I just found your channel a couple months ago. Thank you for all you do ❤️. I have a garden and that’s it for now but I appreciate the inspiration so much. I only have half an acre! Goals!

[@michellewhite1924]

Wow! I've got to say your barn and milk room are impressive! Miah did an excellent job! Enjoy your content. Much love and success! 🤗🤗

[@candynkeith]

We love you just the way you are. REAL.

[@FermentedHomestead]

What a cool idea! The maple milk sounds amazing! I always end up folding up my tripod and using that instead of the gorilla pod…still took a lens dive a couple weeks ago 😬 I’m glad your camera survived!

[@OurNationalAdventure]

This may be the first time I've caught a video just as it's gone live! Yum to fresh milk and twilight vlogs !♡

[@FlamingBasketballClub]

What's your KZbin channel about?

[@OurNationalAdventure]

We travel Georgia and share family adventures. I suppose I should I have used my personal account to watch this. ♡

[@margaretbartlett5404]

Same here.

[@hannahfield1498]

I'm glad you're camera still works! Loving everything you've done to the farm so far and absolutely adore watching milking chores. I'm living vicariously through you with dreams of one day having my own milk cow.

[@miewiegand1511]

When I was a kid and couldn’t sleep, we sometimes got a mug of hot milk with a bit of honey and it is still some of my favourite memories :)

[@LoftyViewFarm]

Love the flow of your milking! It’s makes me so happy to see you at this stage in your life! It’s so gratifying as a watcher 💕 great job Jess and miah!

[@nikkifarmsnow]

Ooooh, I’m loving Asher’s hair 🤩 Every color seems to look great on him! I also love Miah’s halter clip idea, I’m hoping we can implement in our stanchion!! Our cows make such an insane mess, and then they want to clean it up when they’re done 🙄😂 Thanks for everything you do! 🌻❤️

[@Huriana10]

Awesome!!!. Those kids dont realise how lucky they are.

[@heidipustelniak652]

Such great memories you are making for the boys! I always hated when the goats put their foot in the milk bucket! Raw milk is the best!

[@pattiripley7599]

Awesome job to Hunter! Great job milking. Maple milk looks good to me. So glad your camera is good. Good you have backup but hope it doesn’t fall again

[@Mikel8v]

I love love love all the boyz and all the noise!!! I wish I had daily blogs of that with my Boyz, the few videos I do have are SO PRESCIOUS to me. You and your family are a joy & then there is all the learning that I get on top ~ love and peace to you and yours ~ I thank you for sharing so openly ~ YOU are a blessing ❣️

[@missmartpants2269]

Miah is very impresive with his ideas of efficiency. My step dad is like that and he was military too so maybe they picked it up there? Idk. I love the milk room and barn. God bless!

[@maryannditullio2581]

That was so nice of you to have the boys watch and actually milk the cow’. That is something you don’t do everyday. You weren’t expecting a muddy cow either. Getting a little flustered. That is not so good things happen! It was not Your fault! 💕

Those little cowboys drinking thier maple milk was the sweetest. You should have it in a picture hanging in the milking room.

You are absolutely amazing. I enjoy watching everything you, your family, helpers and friends do 💗.

I love your family and how open you all are to having friends and family in your home all the time and other kids it’s beautiful and so wholesome. It also helps I believe very strongly, to influence others around you & on KZbin in positive loving family Christian Ways❣️❣️❣️ I’m still impressed with Miah doing the olive oil dispenser next to the milking stall👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼. He’s so hands-on and the way his mind works he’s always thinking about ways little and huge to make things more functional & easier, especially for you and just the way his mind works it’s just fabulous. And the fact that you guys work so closely together he knows what you need. And you lady you just flat out blow my mind you’re amazing♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@DayDreamsofGreenDesign]

Sorry about your camera! I bet Miah could build you a mounting shelf for your camera 🤣

[@lindawoody8501]

I like cattle. I am not experienced with cows/bulls but I have been around Longhorn Cattle a little and that was a small herd. One of my Great Aunts had a dairy cow for a few years when I was a young girl and I do remember fresh from the cow milk. Glad you did not fully bust up your camera. Glad you will be graveling the muddy front of the area adjacent to the milking station. Cows are really wonderful animals. So glad you have both dairy and all-purpose cattle.

[@ThatBritishHomestead]

Bless you you made me tear up! I thought that the cow had slipped and broken it’s leg! Sorry about your camera that really is bad luck! Bless you

[@andrewlittlefield3425]

I love a good homeschooling homestead field trip 😁

[@andrewlittlefield3425]

I’m sorry you broke your camera

[@karenhightower4022]

So glad your camera is ok. What a fright. Wanted to share something. Lisa over on Farmhouse on Boone has a recipe for her sourdough loaves and she makes five days worth but only bakes a new loaf each day, & she keeps the others in the refrigerator and bakes off one each day. That is if you have room for it, it might be something to check out if you’re baking sourdough every day. Just wanted to share. I hope you have a wonderful day ♥️ thank you for all your KZbin videos I have learned so much from you.

[@justpatty7328]

Things are moving towards the positive for y'all. Fresh milk is a dream for me, perhaps someday I'll have my moo cows. Thank you for sharing with us. God bless each of you!
