I appreciate and enjoy this channel so very much! No doomsday fear mongering, no budget challenges of 37 meals for $4.62 … just a lovely wife and mother doing her thing, training children in life skills, providing for her family and sharing thoughts with us. Jessica, thank you!

[@kimcwhite6509]

Yes, Jessica is the real deal! None of the hype, just plain being careful with our resources❤️

[@lauram1145]

Very well put. I love her calm demeanor, her beautiful family and even though I’m an older mom with grown children, I learn so much that I am implementing in my own kitchen and sharing with my kids so they have this knowledge as they begin their own families. Such a blessing❤️

[@Mindy56743]

I really wish there were more like this. Jessica is real. No hype just life and learning.

[@carolynmills513]

Those ridiculous budget challenges. I understand the concept, but not relevant to most of us.

[@Bush_Edge_Homesteading_Aus]

So calming to watch. Which is amazing considering how much is going on.

[@miss_mish]

I taught my son to cook when he was 6. Now he is 18 & a phenomenal cook. I will never have to worry about him not being able to cook. It is so much easier to teach them when young. Once he was capable of cooking independently he started cooking every Tuesday night. Every time I get sick, he sends me to bed and takes over. A child being able to step up and help when needed just makes them a good family member who thinks about others. You are doing such a wonderful job raising your babies into beautiful people.

[@dinahquillen8709]

When those children go out in the world they will have all the skills needed for a fulfilling life. Wish every child had that opportunity and those skills. Beautiful video.

Your children are so sweet and loving to each other. What a blessing.

[@emilyribnicky9410]

I talk about you all the time to my husband when I'm copying different projects you've taught me. I've called you my friend in Ohio and he rolls his eyes and says I can't call people I watch on KZbin my friends. So I corrected and said My Sister in Christ in Ohio. 😄 He can't deny that one!!!! I so appreciate you sister!

[@dadededadr]

Jessica, I love your family! We no longer have littles, but raised 5 boys, and they all can cook, sew a button, and know how to clean. It is SO important!! You are doing a great job with your family, let the naysayers say what they will, but your children will know how to be responsible adults!! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@SpookyWifeSpookyLife]

I LOVE how much your children help the family and each other. Its precious to see the older kiddos be patient with the little ones, and help them learn.

[@lizbolick5591]

Love the fact the older kids show care and love to younger boys. All kids are blessed to grow up with a mom and dad to show them right way

[@cindyupton7357]

I so agree. Having children learn the basics of real life is a good thing!! Being able to cook, clean do laundry ( so they don’t ruin all their clothes later in life) is a blessing to them!!!

[@aramintaverwys1934]

Jessica, can I just say how absolutely relaxing it is when I see you posted a video!!! It's my ME time to just take 20-25 minutes all to myself!! You are one amazing woman!!! Happy Sunday Funday to you and your beautiful family!!! ❤❤❤❤🌻🌻🌻🌻👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍

[@elizabethharper5131]

Ditto! I love this channel!

[@miss_mish]

Yay! Omg can I just say I love watching your pregnancy progress. You are absolutely glowing. I seriously don't know how you do it. I'm 42 and in my overly dramatic head I think omg I would die being pregnant at 42. Although I have 1 son who is 18 so very different headspace. I would love to have had a big family like you but it's always just been my son and I. I'm extremely grateful for my son so zero regrets and I get the pleasure of having 20-25 new children each year. So I got my big family another way. So it's all a blessing.

[@claudialeger3208]

My son was in the kitchen with me and my mom-he learned by watching and helping. He is an amazing chef today. It is a skill that will be with yours for their lifetimes. You’re preparing them well. As always, your videos make my Sunday.

[@jfarm8854]

Great job Mama! You are raising responsible children who will bless their community!

[@libbyhicks7549]

Nice comment. 'Raise your children to be an asset to their community' is the name of the game.

[@centraltexashomestead-mike4956]

That fireplace stove is amazing! Every time we see your pantry it looks so full. I'm a retired chef 28 years however Rochelle and I both still work from our home. When I finally retire in a couple years I'm going to be doing a lot more canning and fermenting. We just did a video on our channel on home made spicy and onion bacon ketchup and they came out great. Our Granddaughter is now home schooling with us. You checklist system looks great. Rochelle does the same as well and we share the work. Teaching the kids is a major blessing. Our Granddaughter is 11 and she is a real good cook. We really enjoy your channel and look forward to the next one. God Bless, Mike

[@kajehomar7503]

Teaching your older children to cook is brilliant. They will be popular among their friends and someday when they are married. Keep up the good work.

[@kimcwhite6509]

I've been watching your old videos since I recently found you. You teach so well! My Nana would be proud of you. When I was newly married, I was at her house peeling potatoes with a paring knife. I got scolded for cutting too much flesh from the potato! I kinda rolled my eyes inside (not really). Then I realized what hard times she lived through and how my own Mom didn't learn from her. I absolutely love your family values and ways of providing for your family. Thank you ❤️

[@notthecheshirekat2596]

Jessica , you never cease to amaze me with your frugality and intelligence. When I look at apple cores and peels I see compost not jelly or vinegar-you have a true talent in that ability. Frugality is not penny-pinching like Ebenezer Scrooge, it’s utilizing every single shred of what you have and you are the best I’ve ever seen in doing just that.

[@850beachmomrn]

Thank goodness! This video came just in time to distract me from all the anxiety riddled news this morning... Thank you 💖

[@pamelaaverill1608]

This is a great example of how families living away from the test of the world have endless love for family members ❤️ they are close to one another cause they are all they have without outside interruptions. I love your lifestyle Jessica and the love you all share with they outside world. Thank you all kids to cause I come from a large very close family as well but I like your family's lifestyle more and wish I could have raised my own away from the rest of the world to implant more of my own teachings into them. My oldest is 35 but after moving away from the house she wanted to learn more about sewing and cooking and everything else. Love you video's Jessica thank you so much... 😘

[@debbieyzuel7887]

You have an absolutely beautiful family. All children should be raised like this.

[@natashaluckett]

Thank you as always for another instructive and inspiring video. I taught a German class last night using my Great Grandma's Apple Kuchen recipe. Each Apple Cake used 4 apples. The ladies went to throw away the cores and I was like noooo. So many uses thanks to you. (We also did Rye bread, Knodel from scratch Schnitzel, Sauerkraut, and Spätzle.) Living on Guam there's not a lot of opportunity to eat German food. It was fun to watch 12 women realize they could do this too. I just shared your video with a friend that loves to make spice combinations I think she'll enjoy your season salt experiment. Watching your kids clean the wood stove brought back child hood memories of being the one in charge of our fireplace. I think it's a farm life thing. My brother and I were talking about your videos and relating it to our childhood on a farm. It was just expected that we would have chores each day, feeding the animals, helping in the garden, cleaning the fireplace. It was a great way to be raised. Have a great week. I hope the nesting challenge continues to be productive.

[@toniscaglione7451]

LOLOL!!!❤❤❤ Little brother “helping” push Gabe’s arm when there is a heavy load to push! Jessica, thank you for sharing such a beautiful wholesome look at your family. Praying for you and baby and family! Enjoying everything you show us🥰

[@carolwhisenhunt7504]

Gabe is so good with his brothers. All your children seem to really love each other. I think it's great that you are teaching them all to help out. It takes everyone working together to make a family work. You look so good Jessica. Be blessed friend.

[@jennilangley2011]

I only have 4 children, all boys. They all have and have had for a while the same types of chores your children have. You are giving them skills so they can survive on their own and that to me is successful parenting. Your doing a great job and you definitely inspire me to do more. Thank you!

[@robertlefler5598]

I love what you are doing with teaching your children to be very competent adults! Both my husband and I were from large families. I was one of the older ones in my home. It taught me to love my family and many skills I might not have had if I had been reared differently. Thank you for all you are teaching us too! Love it all! Roberta

[@crystalof7]

This mom of 7 understand everything you are saying. Children helping with everyday chores are so beneficial for them to get a head start on adulthood.

[@JM-rc5fw]

Your videos bring such a calm, motivating start to my week. I am so glad you are feeling good and seem to be giving yourself grace during the later weeks of pregnancy! Your family works so well together as a team. I love watching your children grow and take on new responsibilities... they clearly take after their incredible parents. Thanks for sharing with us

[@playcolumbus2413]

Your little one helping to push the wagon was so precious 🥰 I just made your pie filling recipe with arrowroot, and it came out incredible! Next, I'm making pumpkin powder how you showed too. Thank you!!

[@kaygalloway4315]

It’s wonderful that your children are such a help to you. You have done a great job teaching the kids how to be self sufficient.

[@cherylkhoja917]

Good afternoon Ms. Jessica. Every Sunday, I look so forward to watching your videos. I wish I would have trained my daughter the way you did. Her dad is Indian passed in March. I did everything for her. Not realizing it would hurt her in the future. In the Indian culture . As a mother we are supposed to do everything for our children. I followed what her dad taught me. It's not a case of failure or could be. But not having the appropriate guidance. Watching your children just amazes me every time I see them. God bless you for giving them every opportunity to teach them life skills. May God continue to watch over you and your family always Aameen.

[@margarettt7675]

I grew up this way. It is comforting to watch your videos, it takes me back to a time when my Mother was young, or when my children were young. I live this way, first as a child, then with children of my own, who have grown and flown, and finally now with a small family unit. I am shocked that this is not how everyone lives.

[@rjohnson610]

My go to channel for all things life, canning, and so much more, is this channel. I'm currently making pie filling and when needing the recipe. I come here. I cannot thank you enough, Jessica. You have taught me so so much. I am so grateful.

[@cynthiawhitcomb1780]

Have you ever thought about a Three Rivers Cookbook? Or something like a lunch to a printout of a smaller version? Just a thought. You have a beautiful family. How the olders help the littles is so precious.

[@msherry5]

Your children learn many lessons from contributing to the household, & it's a huge blessing for them. Besides the skills themselves, they learn that if every family member contributes what they're able, life is better & more joyful for everybody.

[@notthecheshirekat2596]

You are absolutely correct-teaching your children how to cook, clean, do laundry, etc. is pretty much the most loving and intelligent gift you can give them. I wish schools put more emphasis on the skills needed in everyday life as an adult-cooking, grocery shopping, gardening, food preservation, home maintenance of all sorts, and how to budget-those skills are essential to live independently as adults. I raised my kids with the end result in mind-I didn’t raise children, I raised adults just like you are doing. Your end game is the same as mine-turn out educated, intelligent, courteous, and loving adults.

[@kimbradley1292]

I totally agree with you. Instead of teaching algebra or fractions teach them how to boil an egg, cook pasta, make soup. How to open a bank account, shop on a budget, talk to a doctor or speak properly on the phone. I raised my 2 boys this exact way. It's called 'life skills' I wish they would add it to the curriculum at schools.

[@carinthiamontana7069]

Schools rely on parents to teach life skills. But the sad truth is that after a long day of school and sports, there is barely any time or energy left to do that

[@notthecheshirekat2596]

@@carinthiamontana7069 you have a very valid point, and I have to say there were many, many days where neither me or my children had the time or energy to dive into how to change a tire. Thank you for your comment, it is a very good point and one I didn’t think of even though it did occur.

I helped my Mom in the kitchen while growing up and as an adult I was shocked to find that several of my friends had no clue how to cook for themselves. It's great that you're teaching your kids to be self-sufficient adults. I'm just learning how to can and I started with pickles and just canned my first applesauce. Next year I'll try your oven-roasting method, tho! 😄

[@libbyhicks7549]

[@Alexis_9339]

I so appreciate your perspective on raising children. I’m devoted to raising a kind and capable adult, and that starts from a very young age. My 4.5 year old loves to help in the kitchen. I’m expecting any day now, and I did tons of meal prep so that husband can handle most of the cooking (throw in crock pot/oven) while I rest up and establish breastfeeding. Our church also does a meal train for new moms, which is much appreciated.

I have 5 children, all grown up now. All of our kids would help with chores around the house and they all loved cooking. They are all 18 plus now and are all amazing cooks. Their partners didn’t have a similar upbringing as most of them had everything done for them. My kids are so happy that they were taught to do things before they left home. When my youngest was about 3 years old, her favourite thing to do was to help cut up vegetables for dinner that night. She would love to cut carrots, broccoli, beans etc. Not once did she cut herself either. I truly admire your parenting ❤

[@carolynmills513]

I used to use that exact food mill when I was Elizabeth's age to process tomato juice. I never knew to spin it by the handle to scrape down the sides of the cone! 67 years old and still learning...even from a 10 (?) Year old. Great job mom!

[@Messier45_Pleiades]

I do admire the way the kids work together. When I was growing up I was the family slave. Every chore in the house was thrown at me so I swore I would never do that to my kids, and I didn't. I did not give them any chores. They helped when they felt like it. I'm not complaining about my kids. They are wonderful. It was my fault. I should have taught them more household chores for their sake as well as my own. There is a happy balance somewhere in there. I wish I had found it. Looks like you have.

[@libbyhicks7549]

I used to houseclean for this Jewish family and the week before thanksgiving when I showed up she asked if I could also do the downstairs bath which was primarily used by her 26 yr old son who lived at home still. As she said this to me, he was laying on the couch wrapped up in a shawl, with the remote control in his hand. I just looked at her and said frankly.. " I think your grown son will have to clean his own bathroom for the guests. Sorry." That guy was babied to the point of being utterly useless.

How is Ben's potty training? John is adorable. I'm so proud of Levi big boy steps. It is so wonderful to see the children practicing life skills and learning them. Coming from a very large family, our parents made sure we ALL knew how clean the house, do dishes (by hand...although I will tell you, I LOVE my dishwasher), do laundry and iron it and cook. All of us, boys and girls knew all these skills. We were so many we had to share the load, specially during school brakes. The only skill I had to learn later in life on my own, was driving and keeping a balanced check book. I love seeing your children working in harmony. Sure, there are times they rub elbows, but it is all part of growing up. I love you guys. Hugs!!

🇦🇺A couple of Christmas’s ago I made a recipe book with favourite family recipes. Main meals, desserts and party favourites. In photobook I printed a book with each grandchild’s name, ie Thomas’s recipe book 1. It had an index, pictures for every recipe and who’s recipe it was . Some recipes where my mum’s and some from each daughter. Dannielle makes a great spinach meatloaf that’s green. I also included how to make a gravy from scratch, home made custard, mashed potatoes, honey carrots etc. basic stuff they can use. My grandchildren loved it.

[@Mindy56743]

Last year I put up too many jars of apple jelly from the peals and cores, apple sauce and apple butter and not enough of sliced apples. This year I canned sliced apple only. Canning is my favorite hobby and has helped me relax with my 75 year old mom and just enjoy. Watching your videos is a blessing to my heart. Watching you work while raising children in a positive loving environment is a blessing. God is amazing how he provides for his children.

I haven't been fortunate enough to see all of your videos, however from what I've seen, it seems as if you have at least 10 children.

I commend you for all the work you do.
