Barely Enough To Save

Meg’s in the kitchen today preserving various things - first, getting some beef brisket into a brine for next weeks’ Corned Beef. And then preserving all the beautiful chard we harvested from the greenhouse. If we don’t eat it all first.

Baby and you come first. We will still be here, no worries ❤

[@mimiohnine]

No truer word! I’m in for as long as you post. Take care of yourself Meg! ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

[@dixsigns1717]

Ditto

[@wheaties1435]

I honor your choices! Focus on building, both the family and the home. 👍👍

[@patwatson6468]

Just happy to see what you post when you can. Life comes first.

[@dianadriverasbury9130]

Okay, take care of yourselves. Will miss you but completely understand.

[@Vanrachana0215]

❤❤❤😊

[@gypsymomma3470]

Meg, always the rockstar!!!

[@wrightfamily5625]

We are praying for you all.Take care of you and your baby. Dont worry about filming. You're growing a person that takes a lot of energy, and im sure you're ready to be in the nesting stage.

[@jacquieanderson6251]

Meg, you do what you need to and take care of yourself and baby. We’ll watch anything you put up on you tube. I hope Ben will continue to film document your build as he had planned,even if he doesn’t post it. I know those young men and Buggy help a lot. Thank you for the peek into your life. You inspire us.

[@jeanineadele]

You can find out more about the build by watching the Homestead Shoptalk videos. The 3 guys talk more in depth about what they have going on.

[@ritamoore3940]

I have learned so much from you, Meg, but especially the life you live as an example, is an encouragement to me. The way you work with your children and the care you take of every little thing is such a blessing to me and, I'm sure ,others. Love from Canada

[@frenchysandi]

Your family is more important than KZbin. I am a nurse and I did notice you look a bit pale is your iron low?? Low iron does sap your energy. I’m playing hooky I have been digging out raspberry plants, what a pain, literally, I have stickers in my hands. Get some rest plz, baby time will arrive quicker than you think and that is more tiring, as you know. I’m a mom of 6 so I speak from experience.

[@ardenpeters4386]

I've noticed Meg's paleness also. BE CAREFUL MEG. And you looked drained around your eyes as well. growing a baby is work on top of all you do

[@andyriley5460]

To add to this, if you are wanting to eat things like chard it could be a sign of iron levels being low, if your wanting to eat something eat it your body is telling you to for a reason

[@LoveGrowLiveFree]

Agree, the eyes tell it. Rest Meg❤

[@mainemagic4968]

Meg, I stopped boiling corned beef...now I bake the corned beef...wow, the taste is still great, tender and flavorful. The switch was because when we lived in Lake Placid many moons ago, we lost electricity and had to use our wood stove for our meals...from that point on, I bake the corned beef with usual sides of potatoes, carrots and home made sweet & sour cabbage...I still add a can of Guiness as required by cannon from my Grandmother. Appetizers are Lobster Egg Rolls with a Beer Mustard Dip...Dessert is usually Apple Pie w/ Vanilla Ice Cream. Cheers from Maine.

[@imaginethat2003]

I roast my corned beef too. Hello from Alabama, transplanted from South Portland!

[@deecooper1567]

B R E A T H E my dear . I for one, feel very blessed to have been a part of your lives for all these years. The family has a LOT of its plate right now, so take the time you need. Such stress to please us is not healthy for any of you right now. We ❤ all of you & want you healthy 💖💖 👵🏻👩‍🌾❣️

[@mommiesaurus]

The belly on the counter. Priceless. Motherhood is so amazing.

[@blindaedwards9528]

You just do you❤❤❤

[@juliewholohan2850]

Don’t have another thought about how your regular voyeurs think about how often you share your world. I for one enjoy and get inspired by your posts, but family first. Wishing, as always, love and joy to your family at this time. Ben will do an amazing job on the extension with his band of merry men and maid Marion. Look forward to any content that comes our way.🙏❤️🇦🇺

[@paulahughes6031]

Love your comment 😂🤣. We will be more than happy to wait. It’s always worth waiting for 👍👍

[@redshedacres]

Love the' maid Marion' bit. We all know who that wonderful person is.

[@constanceburger]

We pray for all you Hollars every day. 😍🙏🕊❤️

[@alicegilbert4186]

We totally understand the need to cut back. Just take care of you and the rest of the family.

[@BlueYiperoo]

Can’t wait until you have your baby. You’re all blessed.

[@colleenallen3382]

[@Devie-tx8ri]

[Sentimental] Since veggie steamer is slowly breaking down. When the time comes to toss it. Don’t toss it! Instead, break it down and turn it into garland. place with yearly holiday decor and enjoy the memories for years to come!

[@sandracunningham2689]

We have been spoiled by so many videos. The eating at the Hollar Homestead is 5 ✴✴✴✴✴. Folks should go to Your playlist and start with year 1. Still working my way through it. The boys are so little and love how hard they try to help.. It is like watching a new series.

[@TobyCatVA]

I have binged the Whole Lotta Hollars twice. The best content on KZbin by far. Epic Journey of one terrific family. 10/10 will binge again.

[@greenbankreptiles]

Weather is shocking for work of late.. respect to you if you managed 1 video a week ..think everyone wants things to run as smoothly as possible for you with everything ahead. It's time to focus on the additions folks! Much love and respect to you all.

[@larryfeeks6620]

We will miss seeing y'all as often, but we will wait.

[@lauramcdaniel2253]

I am glad you are taking care of yourself during this time. I'm surprised one of the boys hasn't tried to take over the editing, they are so good at everything they do thanks to the teachers they have in you.

[@patriciahusk3428]

Meg and Ben, we love y’all so much 💜! Just rest and relax and we’ll be here when y’all are ready!

[@marycountry]

Will miss you but will be here whenever you post. Praying for you all. Take care ❤️

[@Sandi_W]

Good evening Hollar family 💜

[@marysidle5132]

Family first! GOD bless

[@dianadriverasbury9130]

Your chard is so pretty.

[@lieuwina]

I think you should do what ever you want with filming. You and baby and family come first. Get rest and enjoy your time before baby arrives and I know just how much work you have got to prep before the little one comes. Love your videos and have a blessed Easter Meg, Ben and family. Greetings from the UK.

[@zzydny]

2:10 I remember my mother saying "a pint is a pound the world around" (thus, one cup = 1/2 pound). Always seems to work out right for sugar, salt, and so on. 🌻

[@profas1983]

whats a spoon?

[@hilarylonsdale608]

In the UK I was brought up with 'a pint of water weighs a pound and a quarter ' because our pints have 20 fluid ounces vs US 16floz.

[@sheldonlynette1463]

You and your family are THE most important thing. Make sure you are giving yourself space to breathe. Love your videos, we have been so inspired by your journey.

[@megmills4798]

Family first we will be here,thank you for what you have shared God shine His face on you and blessings😊

[@petgranny194]

Rest easy!

[@katedenium]

❤

[@stephaniewilson3955]

Live your life! We are happy that you share it with us. Thank you for that however many or few times it is. Take care of yourselves.

[@SherrySews]

You do what you need to do for your family. Occasional updates to let everyone know you are doing OK is sufficient for me. Love you and your wonderful family. XO

[@shellevaughan-hoyt4063]

Take care Meg get rest

[@StoneKathryn]

Is that the perpetual chard that you harvested from the greenhouse? Yay, you are corning your own beef brisket. That's so neat to hear! The recipe for the brine is much appreciated. Thanks for the heads up about Tuesday and Thursday posting of videos! I agree that you both have sooo much to do before the new baby comes! I so understand! So glad you got the greens steamed! It was fun to watch you do this and Jack and you enjoying sampling them. Ben liked them too! I hope some of them get to the freezer! Thanks for this video Hollar family!

[@theresad6990]

I'm GLAD to hear that you're cutting back a bit! It's time to get that nest ready and you need some rest. I've been thinking that you've been doing too much for a little while now. You have looked more tired lately. Growing a human takes a lot of energy. It's good to hear that you're prioritizing yourselves. That comes first before making videos. Given how quickly Buggy came you definitely are going to need to make sure you're ready for this next little bundle. Nest away my dear and enjoy the process. I hope Ben has his catcher's mitt ready for this one! 🙂

[@mayhmmaydn]

Family first!!! Take care of you, woman. I'll keep waiting n watching and anticipating the new schedule!

[@pincheguarito591]

I would bet that little whosits was happy to have all those green leafy vitamins and minerals!

[@loribrocato145]

Take care of yourself Meg. We love y'all and want you to be healthy and happy. Don't worry about us. We'll be here.

[@Putzywoo]

Meg, I love that you acknowledge the places where you get your inspirations and instructions! Take your time with videos. You all have a LOT going on. We will be here.

[@johnmcnichol8330]

Meg is a fine chef!

[@Tia-vj9ox]

We are not the priority, You are! We are happy to hear from you when it works for you(s) and your family. Know you are in thoughts and prayers.❤

[@jacquethirlkel3001]

Thanks for your great videos! Please do what you need for your family. God bless!

[@rebeccafox5041]

Thank you for your videos we all love them of course.. but you and baby always comes first!!!!

[@evelynjolliff2799]

Take care of your family meg,this is an extremely busy time for you all.❤🙏

[@kimberlyschiele1117]

While i will miss seeing the hollar channel on a daily basis. I too agree you, your family and your life is so much more than KZbin. I will still love ❤ you guys and i will still be here for your twice weekly videosand of you need to make them longer that is always welcomed.. Take care you all! Lots of love❤ and hugs and happy family life! 😍🥰😘

[@mariedawson6697]

Live your life,we’ll be watching for you and new baby❤️

[@mariedawson6697]

And the rest of the gang.

[@jangrahame4891]

Mmmmmm homemade corned beef! Perfection!

[@territn8871]

You've made me realize I need that kind of chard in my little veggie area!! Does it go dormant during winter and return every spring or do you have to replant each season? Your corned beef brisket will be so delicious!! Listen honey, nothing in this world is as important in a pregnancy than to take the utmost care of yourself. Please know we don't want to add anymore stress or extra work for us. Right now you need more rest than you ever have. You've got your own "construction" going on as you grow that precious baby!!! Rather than videos for us, I'd rather know you are readying yourself this last trimester for yours and baby's best health! And it's an important time for you and Buggie to help her be ready for baby brother or sister! It will be a big adjustment for her. Rest more and we won't be going anywhere...we will be right here as always!!!!!❤

[@nancyrasmussen2016]

Family comes first!!! Take it easy, rest, and prepare! Nancy from Nebraska

[@sandyarcher8104]

You do what’s best for your family we will continue supporting you guys

[@jamespuchaty6393]

You and Ben need to take care of yourselves and your family and do what you got to do to make it work

[@NancyMorse]

I’m glad you are putting the baby’s and your health above the videos. Family is most important.

[@anaharp4505]

Rest, enjoy this time pre new baby ❣️

[@kathylane5934]

Take your time. We will be here whenever. You have alot of work to do. Some of us aren't able to do much anymore so we live through you all

[@gloriatwiggs467]

Happy days are coming dear. Please allow the men to help you. Sending love a prayer from South Louisiana.

[@marking-time-gardens]

Healthy family comes first!!! Thank you for sharing your family and homestead as you can. And introducing the perpetual chard! New one for me, ordering some today! Blessings on the Hollar Family Homestead!🌻🐛Carolyn in Ohio ❤

[@ritabaker3113]

Blessings dear friends

[@julescaru8591]

Aww girl , you guys do whatever you need to do , we will be here , I think I can speak for most folk when I say your health and family come first , love to all of you and this wonderful community you have built! All the best Jules 😘💕

[@debbiebeckstead9268]

We ❤your family and we will look for those videos you do so just take care!

[@jubileebay]

You prepare as needed for your new little one. Your health and your family comes first. You know that old saying, “Absence makes the heart grow fonder!” So we will miss your frequent videos but will love you more for it!

[@peggylawrence3401]

I'm so happy that you both decided to step back and focus on taking care of you and your health and family. I love watching you on utube and I believe you are doing a wonderful job raising your family. God bless you. And I'll look forward to seeing your posts as they come. 😊❤😊

[@pattiripley7599]

I never worry about when your going to post am just thankful when you do and I get to watch another wonderful video. Looking forward to future. You have tons on your plate and by all means take care of yourself or nothing else will get done.

[@davidj.mackinney6568]

I am praying for you (Megan) and the little one. Pray that you both do well.

[@zenaidamolina2414]

I was watching this totally thinking that baby bump looks way different than it did in the last few videos, hoping you didn't overdo it in the tunnel the other day. So I am happy to hear you will be slowing down and nesting as you should ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@petrosros]

In the UK we call it perpetual spinach, the thing that I noticed about it, is that it does not grow as vigorously during the winter as the Chard, but the snails leave it mostly alone. Unlike the Chard, which they appear to consider a delicacy, and never a leaf appears in the kitchen that it does not look like a colander.

[@jeanineadele]

Two days a week is good. I hope everything is going well for you and your family. This is such a special time that is so precious for your little family. We understand that sometimes you have to savor these special times alone, just the 8 of you.

[@cathybennion6070]

As long as you don't leave us. You do what is best for your family.

[@darlapoulsen9767]

Amen to this!
