Hi friends! I'm Jennifer, a forty-something wife and mother of 7 children ages 9 - 25. We are Catholic. We homeschool. We cook from scratch. We farm cranberries. We drink coffee. We advocate for Down syndrome awareness. We are loud. We are chaotic.
Here I'll share vlogs about all these things, what I'm doing that works and what I've tried but didn't work. I hope to encourage you in your journey through motherhood, homeschooling, learning to cook, and growing in your faith through it all.

Have to try your ponding method. Today my hand I celebrate 52 years of marriage. Where has the time gone.

[@deniselakatos5418]

Hi Jennifer. I look forward to the cranberry harvest videos every year. It was good seeing Warren ham it up a little for the camera! How wonderful to see your family working together-a real testimony of what a family should look like. How blessed you are to have such a special (and rare) treasure! Thank you for sharing. Hugs.

[@cumberlandquiltchic1]

I so agree! Im also happy for you with the cranberry sauce. It will fly off the shelves! Did you take any video of production?

[@marydrew2583]

A shout out to Emily and the un-named men who helped with the harvest! You showed us how much is involved with harvest. Great editing even though you were fighting the wind. Thank you Jen for showing us all the hard work involved when we take cranberries and sauce for granted.

[@jayrow1978]

Hard work, well trained crew, team work.

[@elkedebuck4547]

You are such a warm and loving family mat God bless you all ❤

[@rkatufus]

So sweet when you showed Colt the mushroom and he patted it.

[@curtisep5885]

Didn't see Peter for the longest time. He was all bundled up working 😀 So awesome Jo was hard @ it too! Sure hope y'all were blessed with a bountiful harvest!🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Good morning everyone happy Tuesday morning and I hope you having amazing day today and I loved your channel and you all amazing Supporter

[@elisabetharciniega1238]

The end of this video ❤ the excitement in Warren's face when you told him you'll be joining him for frost watch. Can't wait to see the fun you two will have. And his comment about bringing your long underwear. 😂😂 It's such a beautiful thing to have that special bond with your significant other. Thank you for being an inspiration and idol for us younger moms/wife's just starting out.

[@tammifields4142]

💕💕

[@cindihansen8111]

Wow, you just don't realize how much work is involved in harvesting cranberries until you see it! Thank you for sharing, it is fascinating to watch!

[@thewoodenspoon9679]

I always love harvest time! I love being in your kitchen also!!And I really love cooking from your 2 cookbooks! Yes!!

[@nancyalberghini7581]

Jennifer wear swimming googles, they work and the kids will get a chuckle seeing you!

[@stevenpaultann25]

Hi Jennifer, for onions I have found swimming goggles usually work, even though you look strange in them😂

[@franciegoins5632]

I have used that dredge method since I moved out of my parents house (not the plate, she used a cutting board) because my mom and gramma did it. I use crushed saltines on pork, flour on beer, bread crumbs on chicken and Panko on fish. Isn’t it funny how the only reason you have for things is because that is what they did.

[@lindab2144]

What a lucky (hard working) guy Warren is to have you & the kids. Truly a beautiful family. I'll think of you the next time I make my chicken salad, I always put dried cranberries into it. Loved seeing the harvest.

[@deborahstewart2322]

Never thought about putting the hotdogs in the chili, can’t wait for the deer hunts

[@terricheney1724]

I just got $4.50 in digital credits and bought a movie I adore in SD for $4. It's such a great savings on the ones we know we're going to watch over again and again.

[@acountrylife]

It's one of the best little deals on Amazon.

[@karenchakey]

Always fun to see harvest, oh and now the anticipation of frost watch cant wait to see it...

[@donnafurnas6663]

So very interesting

[@vonlipi]

To cut onions…I usually light a vanilla candle near the cutting board, cut the onions in half and let the compound evaporate, then cut the onions

[@cathydecarles7084]

Jennifer and Warren and Family this is a wonderful cranberry Harvest Great meals also God bless you all much love ❤️🙏🏻✝️☮️📿

Hi Cathy, I hope all is well for you. The warm fall temperatures have been enjoyable.

Am I the only one who sees a fire breathing dragon in the cranberry bed (at ~12:19)? Just got the newsletter about you selling cranberry sauce at noon, CONGRATULATIONS!!! Keep making your dreams come true friend! 🥳

[@yvettegerry9862]

So beautiful so a frog hopping across the cranberries thank you so much for sharing this harvest with us ! When you see all the work and care that goes on all year long you realize how affordable cranberries are! Great family ❤🍁❤️🤗🍂

[@Mrsmadison45]

Yum what a great lunch

[@Growingbookbybook]

I love learning about how cranberries are grown and harvested. Thank you for sharing.

[@Kd-us6bx]

I absolutely loved this but boy you and Warren have such a helping family because this so interesting to watch this on cranberry farming because you are one hard working family and Warren is such a hard worker knowing how to fix everything but you all work hard getting the cranberry harvest done so GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY 🙏❤️🙌❤️🙏

[@MidwestGirl]

I wear swim goggles when I chop onions - works great!

[@darlenes1222]

Always heard of cranberry bogs but no idea what the process was. Thank you for sharing, I am enjoying learning this.

[@pennysue8926]

Put the onion in the FREEZER for 10 to 15 minutes right before you need to slice... not the fridge. Your harvest season is really quite interesting... and soooo much work. Warren and you both do so much, and it's so nice to have family that get's involved too. As well as friends/helpers. You are showing your family what good solid work looks like. An awful lot of kids don't see that... ever. Hugs, Penny Sue

[@acountrylife]

Another good tip to try regarding the onions. Thanks.

[@heatherwoods296]

Sooooo interesting to watch harvest and I love to see everyone working together for a common goal. Very inspriribg, can't wait for part two! You're cranberry sauce looked AMAZING BTW But we're from Canada 🇨🇦 so I'll just try making it with your recipe. Love the ebooks also

[@acountrylife]

Today's the day to make your cranberry sauce. Sometimes it takes a day to gel up completely. I don't know if I should say Happy Thanksgiving or Happy Thursday to you up in Canada.

[@elizabethrobinson4390]

Jennifer is Sam and Amber in this one i saw Emily and Nick and you did a cranberry harvest not too long ago before you did the Igia grocery haul ❤🎃

[@nakita1959]

Wow so beautiful cranberry field thanks for sharing ❤

[@jeanhecker4533]

Brandy at Little Mountain Ranch uses swim goggles when she cuts onions. Maybe you have a pair. Love watching anything cranberry.

[@love2much64]

It has been so fascinating to watch the cranberry harvest video's year after year but after that response from Warren at the end I am excited to watch part 2... Thank you for sharing!

[@gaylegroves8048]

The cranberries look so beautiful!

[@janshe3597]

Love seeing the trees, with their colourful leaves, behind the cranberry fields. All of the leaves have fallen where I am, I love the crisp fall air. 🇨🇦

[@acountrylife]

All our leaves are down as well. This harvest video is from a couple weeks ago.

[@jeannebrown484]

Everything looked delish! We also call this Swiss steak in our home:)

[@kayemoore]

Just love the unity in your family! The beautiful scenery and delicious meals too. If asked “why I watch your channel” I’d answer “seeing such a loving family interact with each other”

[@acountrylife]

Thank you so much! I appreciate you K M.

[@simplecountryliving7555]

Peter is becoming such a big help harvesting the cranberries.

[@acountrylife]

He sure is!

[@arlenekorth2253]

Peter looks like Warrens mini me. Love their smiles.

[@Michelle_Lynn_B]

Yay! New video! Seeing your uploads on my newsfeed just makes my day! 😊

[@acountrylife]

You're the best! I hope you enjoy this one.

[@Michelle_Lynn_B]

@@acountrylife I always do! ❤️

[@marydrew2583]

I'm watching part #2 with just you and Warren out in the truck checking temperatures. Naughty me would say " stop the truck, turn off the headlights and cuddle together in the dark". I know, my mind is wandering but it's probably the only time you two are alone together!

[@acountrylife]

wink wink Mary - The video you are watching is from when I first started my channel. Part 2 of this year's frost watch video will be out tomorrow afternoon.

[@kellyschaefer5735]

A lovely video. Thank you Jennifer.

[@janetlavoie2441]

Anxiously awaiting part 2. ❤

[@MyTableofThree]

So cool seeing all their hard work and knowing what a blessing their work is to the rest of us that get to enjoy the cranberries ! All the food looked amazing as always!

[@acountrylife]

Hi Kerri (I hope I spelled that right). I have my pie recipe all filmed. I just need to edit it tomorrow and upload. I'll attempt to add it to the playlist, but I've never had luck with that.

[@tammifields4142]

Such a pleasure watching your videos! Loooove the Family Teamwork!❤️💞💙 Soo Sweet when Colt ran to hug Emily..... missing Mama while she's working!!💙🤗💙 Thanks for sharing Jennifer!💖

[@acountrylife]

Good evening Tammi; hope you are well.

[@tammyhalderman2031]

Loved it! It's fascinating and beautiful!!❤️

[@WillowsGarden]

Hi Jennifer and sweet family! My momma used a plate to tenderize meat. Colt was so cute patting that mushroom. Mud puddles attract kids, they love them. Lunch looks good and dinner I’m sure was delicious. Everyone working hard to harvest those beautiful cranberries. I just told my mother that I’ve been looking for cranberries in the store so I can make cranberry relish for Thanksgiving, my momma loves it. Hope I can find them so I can can some more this year. I will have to double what I made last year, it didn’t last a whole year, lol. Have a blessed evening!

[@COWELLGIRL]

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing

[@alessandrataglione6432]

Un video stupendo...che emozione vedere con quanta passione e dedizione lavorate...uniti....siete uno spettacolo...una bellissima famiglia...un saluto dall' Italia...da Roma 🧡🧡🌼🌼

[@lemoncrinckles]

That way of fixing chili dogs is genius! Never would have thought of that. I didn't realize the cranberry beds (were)are so large until you panned the water. Lot of work to produce your wonderful berries. Thanks so much for the vlog, Jennifer. 😊

[@acountrylife]

Each cranberry bed is between 1.5 and 5 acres. Let me know if you try the chili dogs. It's one of our favorite fast food lunches.

[@lemoncrinckles]

@@acountrylife ☺👍

[@lindamackin5685]

Looked delicious.. Great video.

[@Bex-rg8pj]

I was so excited to see a new video pop up ❤

[@jaylenetennier6105]

There's a streaming site you can use that's $4-$9 a month & watch the series. So it ends up being cheaper if you have more than 1 show you like. I use frndly streaming. Plus lots of Christmas movies & you can record too.

[@nakita1959]

❤thanks for sharing all your great recipes and days

[@rachalnocchi5600]

Oh I love your epic brownie recipe, they are my family's favorite brownies now!

[@glendaruff125]

We like coleslaw on our hot dogs here in NC too. Enjoy all the aspects of the cranberry harvest.

[@janesecaraway3995]

Lol! Warren saying..brace yourself..we're gonna have fun! Wear your long underwear! Can't wait for Parr 2. From Montgomery al 🙏 ❤️

[@sandrarutz6993]

Yum, have to steal some venison from my brother...lol...hope all is well...😊

[@CindyKinney]

Hi Jennifer. I love your tip for using a plate rim for pounding the meat. I have always used a fork, but this seems much for efficient. Thank you so much for the tip. Oh, and Colt would not be a normal little boy if he didn't have to walk through every single puddle, right?

[@sherrienale9974]

I used to use a plate rim to pound meat as well...The meat hammer with the big deep ridges is gross to clean up I've always felt...Enjoy this year's cranberry harvest..You are very blessed...

[@yvettegerry9862]

Hi Jennifer ! I do a flour dip , egg dip and back in the flour and I put sweet paprika in my flour and it gives it a nice color . That looks delicious 😋

[@deborahkelley4719]

Good morning 🔆 you have a beautiful harvest of cranberry 's.

[@acountrylife]

Good morning! Thank you Deborah.

[@deborahkelley4719]

@@acountrylife your so welcome, I use to see Cranberry Bogs in my travels through Massachusetts. You presented a wonderful vlog of harvest day.

[@angelawix2075]

Pounding my meat is usually a step I skip due to time but I’ll make sure to do it next time. Love hanging out with you!

[@sallycampos7346]

omg am in shorts here calif.

[@christophervogt7456]

Enjoyed this video. Very interesting! Thank you for sharing Jennifer. I'm from NJ and cranberries are grown here too. I never saw them being harvested though! Can we expect some cranberry recipes soon? Hope so!

[@lisahampton6234]

I keep my onions in the refrigerator so they never bother my eyes when I'm chopping them.

[@tracysullivan3641]

I was thinking of your harvest today and then there it was. I also wanted to share product that I have found for a family member with incontinence, it is regular underwear that are washable. They are working great and while the cost upfront was crazy it is still much cheaper than disposable. Hopefully I will be starting my own channel soon .

[@kristinerobinson9490]

Hi do you have your brownie recipe and measurements somewhere those looked so good

[@christinejohnson3390]

Place a piece of bread in between your lips (so the bread is hanging outside of your mouth) the bread will absorb the onion fumes I do it and it works

[@mollysmith6055]

So this year your cranberries won't be juice? Do you know what brand of dried cranberries they'll be so we can buy some to support your grower's group? I saw the email and how exciting for viewers to get to have some of your very own cranberries for Thanksgiving!

[@whittimom5280]

Do you sell the cranberries to other brands or do you sell with your own brand? With your label?

[@Souperat60]

Great job. Love those cranberries. Hey did you get my “cranberry” collaboration email??

[@jupitertheargentinetegu]

Are ALL of your cranberries turned into dried? I missed out on buying fresh cranberries last year so this time I made sure to buy a big bag as soon as I saw my grocery store had them! I love adding them to apples for a quick apple crisp. Might need to buy a second bag while I can!!

[@acountrylife]

Pretty much all dried cranberries and juice as well. We keep 200-300 pounds of fresh berries that we process or freeze for use throughout the year.
