The German pancake is also called a Dutch baby. So maybe those folks who commented they were German, but never heard of the German pancake maybe you've heard it called it a Dutch baby. Potato patties, white beans with ham hocks , and cornbread is one of the staple meals my Hillbilly Mom made. So glad you like them! We always called them potato patties because potato pancakes are like regular pancakes made with potato flour. Glad you took a rest. Oh, as far as the table runner goes, whomever will be sitting at the ends of the table will not have a flat surface on which to put their plate. I am wondering if you can try-fold a thin tablecloth long-ways and use that for a table runner since you know your tablecloths fit. So sweet that you are waiting with the bassinet assembling so that Josh can be involved in it as well. Kind of a right of passage for becoming a "Dad".

Hi! Not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but just a gentle note to watch the dogs closely when you burn these particular oils.

I love your videos, Becky! I love being in your kitchen for a while. I’m 71 yrs old and I learn a lot from you. Love your mom too. Hope you do this for many years! ❤

[@pamelabarber523]

I love to watch Becky's eyes when she tastes something yummy! She is so expressive ! Thanks for your great videos! I really enjoy your channel!

[@thegusmar80]

Hi Becky just wanted to let you know how much I love your videos. I love how you're so relatable and down to earth. You're awesome!!

[@dianacervenjak7404]

I was born in Slovenia but have lived in Australia most of life (55yrs old). And have been making your German pancakes my whole life, we call it Tomelji, we would top it with honey or jam, and have it any time, not just breakfast. My dad taught me how to make it when I was about 10 yes old, and I taught my kids when they were about 10 yrs old. It's our family favourite for many generations.

Also.. don't be discouraged if you can't keep up with all you do when the baby comes. I remember thinking " oh, I'll just put the baby in a stroller and get out and garden" or " I'll just wrap the baby on me while I cook dinner". It turns out kids have different plans and your energy may be less than what you think. Take it easy. We are here while you recover and adjust to life with a baby.

[@holdinon7719]

I am guessing that is a baby girl in your tummy. Boy or girl you and your husband are blessed with a miracle. I wish you love and joy as you grow your family. You are a remarkable person.

[@marypayne2066]

My mother’s family has a saying about the arrival of baby…”the last month is the last day” because baby can come anytime. My first came 2 weeks early even though my others didn’t. You may want to consider what you really need to have done. I had absolutely nothing ready for my first. Thankfully I had friends and loved ones that stepped up. Just a thought.

[@sandrautz8127]

I know that you are a lot younger than me and that we don't have alot in common but you are amazing. I love your attitude, strength and everything else. Don't change or go away. I am going through some tough times right now and I just wanted to thank you for all you do. 🙂

[@megvoss3329]

Resting is so important for the body and soul. This will become even more crucial for you as a new mom. You'll be sleep deprived - so take it while you can get it. LOVE your videos!

[@lucillehjort971]

You are getting a lot done today. Josh is such a nice helper husband, too. I am so excited to see the baby things. Babies are such fun and so cute. The little pups are adorable. They like to help too and serve themselves. I think the table looks festive and not too busy. I like the table runner. When it isn’t hanging down, helps to keep the little fingers from pulling on it perhaps?

[@paulawallace6688]

I noticed you drink tea. I wanted to share something i learned from Homestead Family. She has a free herb class and in that class she said if making tea for medicinal uses to cover the cup with a lid or saucer while steeping to keep all the medicinal properties in the tea. Also if using prepackaged tea use 2 tea bags as those bags don't have enough in them. I suffer from anxiety and I have used lemon balm and it helped minimally. So I tried both things and I drank it and felt very calmed and relaxed. Love your videos!!!

[@mariahowson7983]

Hi Becky I love your chanel & your energy. Just wanted you to be careful when burning your essential oils as they can be very toxic to your pets x

[@JonaeSciandra07]

The excitement seeing you’ve posted! I just had one of these days myself today. It was either “one thing at a time” or nothing at all. Thanks for always being so motivational and inspiring others!

[@prudielopez9863]

Love everything you do so talented and kind

[@dirtroaddestiny]

I have so many projects on my homestead. It’s so overwhelming. But helpful to see others to through life with me ❤

[@emilywurzel7531]

Hi Becky, I grew up Pennsylvania Dutch and for potatoe cakes all we add is egg and flour to cold leftover mashed potatoes, fry it up in oil and serve with powered sugar or maple syrup/king syrup on top. Definitely recommend:)

[@lisarobbins5997]

Every time I see one of your videos it feels like we are hanging out together. Like I'm in my friend's kitchen. I really enjoy the videos! Thank you for all you do! My best friend for 40+ years passed away unexpectedly two years ago. Having your videos to watch fills that empty place. I find you to be sweet, caring and a true joy to watch.

[@andrewbishop5828]

The length of the table runner is good, if it was me I would do a floral arrangement to go with the tea light candles and pine cones.!

[@mcypherbabe3670]

I’m so excited a new Becky video 🎉

[@oliviarosslee7943]

Love your videos

[@chabrol20]

Becky I was told that raspberry tea leaf jumpstarts labor, I googled it and it did say it does. I wonder how my ch you have to drink. Let us know if it’s true.

[@MaryDavidson911]

@Acre Homestead you have a spammer above, tagging you to draw attention to it.

[@jank3879]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Becky released another video. I’m recovering from a respiratory virus, so have been laying low. Your videos are always a bright spot in my day!!

[@vanessarheadart9708]

Me too, hope you can breath easy soon 🥰

[@catherinebarlow3079]

Hope both feel better soon

[@AuntieD.]

Tip for "free" green onions, even if you don't have a garden. Leave a good amount of the whites, plop them in a glass or jar, add water &place in windowsill. They'll regrow 2 or 3x more in just water. Also, I'm loving the crocheted potholders you've been using lately. I have so many of them my dearly departed Granny made for everyone in the family. I lived with her for a time and got to pick my favorite colors. Then she made special sets just for me ❤👵.

[@tericamcginnis5848]

Here's a thought for the runner. I like the length. I've sat at the end of a table with a runner hanging over the end. It was uncomfortable. Too easy to scoot the runner by accident . Also I'd probably use the trees nestled with ribbon, greens, placemats, coasters or something with color to set off the white trees. I think they kind of get lost on the white runner. Just my thoughts.

[@CityKat369]

I just LOVE your outlook Becky!! You have such a positive attitude, even when things are hard and overwhelming, and it’s so uplifting to me! ❤

[@mthorpe5673]

Even ready to have your baby, your energy is just amazing! I drop what I'm doing whenever I get the notification that you've posted a new video, I just love watching you and your sparkling personality. I recently discovered Momma Mel and just love her style. How kind of you to mention her channel. I'm sure she will appreciate it.

[@mealegre]

Love hearing you talk about the baby’s room. I’m so excited and happy for you and Josh ❤

[@conniecrites5148]

I smiled so big when your hen was talking to you. Love you girl. Rest is the best. 😆 🤣

[@choirmom78]

Yes, sweet girl, you need to make your rest a priority from now until your baby is a toddler. And even late r It takes so much energy to make a baby and so much energy to raise a baby. You are truly being good and loving to your family when you get enough rest. I'm praying for an easy delivery and a completely healthy baby and mother. 🙏🕊👶

[@lazellecronje]

Nothing brings me greater joy than watching a video from you! Ahhhh I’m obsessed with your content. Feels like Im visiting a friend! ❤

[@jennifermoisan9914]

My mom used to make leftover mashed potato cakes for lunch when I was little. I’m not from the south but grew up in Nova Scotia, Canada. I loved them. She’d put a fried egg with a runny yoke with it and some times baked beans. So so good. I think she made for me because I never liked cod cakes. It’s great that you and Josh share chores, so much less stress for you.

[@Patti-vj5kv]

Becky, it’s so wonderful that we can spend time with you on your life’s journey. I’m so excited for you and Josh to welcome your new baby. Your lives are going to be even more blessed with this new addition. You always welcome all of us into your home and I feel like a longtime friend. You are exactly the type of person that I would enjoy spending time with. You and Josh are just the cutest and your moms and the rest of your family are just too sweet! I can’t wait to catch a glimpse of your new baby. Wishing you so much joy and happiness. Thanks for the great recipes and always introducing us to new ideas. ❤ Many blessings 🙏🏻❤️

[@iamwhoiamd7056]

I love potato pancakes. If I ever have leftover mashed potatoes, I will make those and stuffing pancakes too.

[@carmendoyle9786]

When u try your food I love the look of your face thank u for sharing your dinners I am making these Pattie’s !

[@CottageontheCorner]

As an experienced mom of three kids that are all in their 20s, I want you to realize that resting is actually productive. You are doing the most productive thing a human can do, you’re growing a human and that takes a lot of energy. So even when you were laying down or sitting and watching TV, your body is still working hard. Remember that and give yourself grace.

[@KDeanie]

Watching this video at 35 weeks pregnant I cannot tell you how much I needed to read this. I am feeling lazy for laying down or napping after work and for not cooking every night but I need that rest so bad and I’m glad experienced mothers are so ready to offer this affirmation and encourage us noobs to relax!

[@CottageontheCorner]

@@KDeanie I'm so glad that helped you. I was so hard on myself for everything...like being in sweats all day long or not being able to get in the shower after baby came. Literally everything made me feel like a failure, BUT it's such a waste of time feeling that way. Listen to your body! And after baby comes, remember that you can't do it all...good enough is good enough!

[@mindaelliott9576]

Looks so good.

[@robyneyahya8651]

Becky, you really are inspirational.

[@sherricolyer5895]

I just love the face you make when you try something and like it. Potato cakes have been in my menu for quite a while (Texas here). We like them with meatloaf. The tomato sauce from the meatloaf is very tasty with the cakes. Your baby is going to be so blessed to have you and Josh as parents! Keep on doing what you do. (Your dad is right, rest is productive!!) HUGS!!

[@CARNIVALFAERY]

With the remnants of your jam left in the jar. You can add vinegar and oil and whatever you like to make a delicious fruit vinegrette for a yummy salad. That way you are getting every last bit of your delicious hard work 😋 😊🥬🥗🍓🥒🥕

[@oldtonewtreasures7110]

The table looks pretty but sometimes those scented pinecones can be very strong smelling and interfer with you dinner. Hope you enjoy your friends company this weekend!
