Creating Every Day Beauty

Sometimes the process to making things beautiful entails a lot of hard, dirty, even tedious work! Today we're doing a lot of that while also taking moments to make a delicious sourdough rhubarb meringue pie in the kitchen, and more! I hope you're inspired 🖤
With love,

Hello! Local Lancaster mama here! We had HORRIBLE issues with beatles and I was discussing it with an Amish friend of ours and she asked if we knew of Shaklee which is who I use their non toxic cleaning products so I knew exactly what she was talking about. But she said take 1-2 tablespoons of Basic H and put it in a gallon of water. Water your plants when you transplant them or they start sprouting. If you notice bugs and beatles down the road water again with the solution. So far we've had GREAT success with this trick. You can find Shaklee products at a lot of the local Amish grocery stores. We're on the southern end so it seems we have one in every small town. Praying you have success!! I just want to also say that you have been a light in some very dark seasons recently. Thank you for your love for Lord!

[@Livingwater810]

I love Basic H!! My grandma and parents have used it for years. I actually called Shaklee today - I used to be able to get it on Amazon but no longer. Need to buy from them directly now. Shipping is a bit pricey. That is so nice you can find it locally!!

[@homemakeronthefarm]

@@Livingwater810 I typically order straight from Shaklee. I agree shipping can be pricey but I try to make my orders worth it. So I only order every other month or more. Our local Amish stores are great for things that shaklee has on back order or currently out of stock. I will say signing up for shaklee I accumulate points fairly quickly and so I've received a number of full size free gifts and I can't say I've hated one of them so far. We use their laundry soap, stain booster, dishwasher powder, plant protein,some supplements and few others. I definitely can't speak highly enough about them.

[@thisboymomlife]

Cucumber beetles are the very reason I switched cucumber varieties. I now ONLY plant Corentine Hybrid cucumbers, they are a 45 day cucumber which means they are much bigger by the time the beetles come around, and they are crazy prolific producers, so beetles don't have much on them.

[@JS-tl3ce]

I love watching your fun videos! Being a young wife, I'm still learning when it comes to homemaking and gardening, and your videos have been helpful and inspirational! I also grew up on a dairy farm, so seeing the cows brings back memories!:)

[@mt1885]

hey girl- loved the video!! 😀😉 Thank you for being an inspiration to us all😊 You are one hardworking gal👍 Always enjoy seeing the kiddos. Yummy food😋Y'all have a blessed weekend 🥰

[@Maria-ob4kj]

You can always plant your tomato plant a lot deeper inside the soil. So they form more roots and become stronger. BTW I love your videos. You are so inspiring ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@EricaLucasLoves]

One of your kids said: “that can be for Daddy it’s giant” about the pie and it was so sweet!

[@user-mi5dc1vw5j]

I have a small garden,it's about 20x20 with 4 raised beds,this year I have 50 tomato plants,mostly San Marzano for sauce but I also did cherry,ground cherries, Dr Wyche,Paul Roboson and Cherokee Purple

[@danbowers8346]

I can’t believe you garden in a skirt and a white sweater. 😊. I am a wreck when I come in from the garden. 😂. Happy Mothers Day to you 🍓! Blessings!

[@hurstwanda]

Steph, if you have tall tomatoes, what I do is, make a trench in the dirt, lay your tomato plant in the trench and cover the roots and stems with dirt, just leaving the top of your plant exposed. Makes the plant more stable.

[@maryannkilduff8659]

You and your beautiful family are so very inspiring and very sweet! I love your sweet daughter carrying the baby, such a big helper. I love watching a day on the farm. Dinner and dessert looked delicious! ❤

[@pampayne9033]

I throughly enjoyed watching this video. Steph. You’re such a hard worker. It was cute watching your oldest holding her baby brother. Your home and property is beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing. Blessings to you and yours.

[@evawood9655]

Yes... it warmed my heart, too! What a blessing. . .Sister loves!!!

[@lovelifementoring5399]

Very inspired as always, thank you Steph! ❤ Such wise words you speak and so true. How beautiful is little William and growing so quickly. You work so hard and cook amazing food, I’m so hungry now. ❤

[@kimcunningham2107]

Oh my word! Your baby boy looks just like his Daddy! Precious. 💖💕😊

[@user-ch7lf8dm7l]

Really enjoyed your video today. The music really made all those sweet moments seem even sweeter. William smiling at the dandelion ball was cute as heck.

[@barbarapeterson8030]

HAPPY BELATED MOTHER'S DAY STEPH! GOLLY Gee you and the family are hard workers and such TEAM WORK. HOW sweet is the baby smiling. Enjoy your week. STTB

[@evawood9655]

Many hands do make light work!

[@WilliamTheUnkownShoutout]

This is indeed very heartwarming and very wonderful and very positive and this brings back such great memories of when I use to be a 90s kid and an early 2000s kid and I am a new subscriber as well:).

[@-living4jesus4ever-]

Your channel is always my favorite!!!! How do you like having gravel over the weed fabric around your boxes? Would you do that again? Or do something else like pavers? 🌻🌻🌻

[@franceskloos1297]

Hello Steph, it is so true there is beauty all around us, I live in Lancaster county, we feel so blessed with all the beauty around us. Your garden is coming along so beautifully( how do you keep the wild animals from eating your plants) The kids are so adorable and baby William is so precious with his smile. The pie looked delicious and so did the dinner. Thank you for your videos it gives me such inspiration and joy!!❤️❤️

[@ajacob509]

Very nice video, enjoyed your gardening and cooking video. Beautiful scenery.

[@deirdredelaughder1060]

Hi, Your videos bless me in so many ways. 🙌🙌 Your home, gardens and family are beautiful! I love the music/songs you choose to play with your videos, God does use you beautiful friend. ❤ It was so nice seeing your family all together working and making awesome memories. Blessings to you and your family and fellow followers.❤ ~ from Deirdre in NE Oklahoma

[@amandaw30]

We're a family of 5, going on 6 in August. I plant 200 tomato plants for my family and all of our canning. I could use more if we have a bad blight year but for the most part that's just the right amount.

[@jessb6555]

Holy wow! I thought I had a lot with 30 plants. 😂

[@DonnaHarper-lg9pw]

It is always such a pleasure to spend time with you and yours. There truly is beauty in everything. We just have to look for it. ❤😊❤😊🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@carolinew6095]

Lovely video! You look so radiant! Thank you so much for sharing your experience, inspiration and stories! You are so encouraging and are a wonderful mamma. Your family’s love for one another is beautiful to see. I am a homemaking grandma from the uk 🇬🇧 and I love watching your channel. PS my husband is envious of your ride on lawnmower! We have a small garden and no grass, just shingle due to allergies. ( I do garden in large pots and planters etc ) My lovely husband just wants to ride on one just for fun! He also yearns to ride a tractor 😂❤❤❤

[@janicebaker-lv9er]

I SURE DO LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!

[@jodyholland5912]

Such a beautiful video again. Everything looks beautiful and so delicious ❤

[@coralsaintclair630]

I love what you said about hard work and beauty. I was even thinking that before you mentioned it! I love seeing you with your family, working in the kitchen and working hard in gardens and doing that kind of labour. I truly love your videos. They’re probably my favourite on KZbin! You inspire me 🤍

[@stagecoachist]

What a blessing you have the rolling pin ..thank you for letting us know 💋🌹💋

[@debidurham984]

Hello Steph!!!! That pie looked delicious 😋. Your garden is beautiful!! The kids are adorable!! Baby William smiling was precious ❤ I hope you had a wonderful mother's day full of joy and smiles😊 until your next one take care and God bless ❤

[@EricaLucasLoves]

I have 15 Amish and Roma tomato seedlings started and I feel like I will still have to buy tomatoes 😂 so many homemade sauces, salsa, and salads!

[@VictorianRoseSoapCo]

Great to see you working so hard to get your garden in...and remember you can plant tomatoes really deeply on their stem so that most of the stem is underground and the top leaves are up showing at the soil line. They will root along the stem, same with broccoli plants

[@thisgoldenhour]

Thank you! That’s what my mom does too! Incredible how that works ❤️

[@maryannhaller3273]

Great video, love watching and happy it is growing for you.

[@kareneakers9540]

I always look forward to watching your videos! I can’t believe how much little William has grown, he is so precious! 🥰 Your food always looks so delicious! 😋 May God bless you and your beautiful family

[@evawood9655]

Well... As far as how many tomato plants!! 😂😂😂 This winter, I was no weight bearing so I took to planning, ordering seeds.. I did so very well, and I have so many varieties with 35 plants! I'm hoping for a colorful harvest! You are such a treasure to me... thank you!

Your videos are so beautiful! Such motivation

[@user-yx5pl7el6u]

Hello from Indiana! I look forward to a new video each week! You're such a breath of fresh air. Your transparency and optimism, coupled with your values and lifestyle, help shape my perspective on hard days. Anyway, we usually plant about 6 to 8 tomato plants. We don't garden even close to your scale, but we also get around an additional 10-12 volunteer tomato plants each year, and I just let them grow wild and chaotically, but they bear a ton of fruit!

[@user-is4hh8yw5p]

You have a beautiful family! I love your videos. Have a wonderful week. ❤

[@judithbutler9695]

I cannot believe what a beautiful meal and garden of life you have created ❤❤❤❤❤❤

I grew up in a dairy farm. Happy memories when cows were for the first time out

[@stephaniem542]

Love watching your videos - this time the gardening especially! We are just starting garden season here in WI. When we had our farm we grew 75 tomato plants one year 🤪 We canned SO much salsa and diced tomatoes that year - it was amazing! We are still in the country, but do everything smaller - so it’s seven tomato plants this year ☺️ We do expand our garden every year and I already have plans for next year - don’t tell my hubby 😂😂 I cannot believe how big William already is! Such a beautiful family ❤️❤️

[@CieloSoleggiato]

Good Afternoon Steph, Thank you for all your inspiration. You have inspired me to make sourdough bread., and my sister already gifted me the starter. Your videos keep me going during a busy day of house work. Thank you. Have a great day! ☀️🌷🦋

I look forward with excitement for your videos! I know I’ll be blessed, encouraged, & inspired by what you share. Thanks for bringing us all along your busy life…it’s fun to watch you do all the things.

[@thisgoldenhour]

Thank you, Angelina ❤

[@kathrynb.9640]

We're planting several varieties of heirloom tomatoes, but we'll probably also have some volunteers like you. Last year we got more tomatoes off of our volunteer plants than we did off of the ones we planted on purpose! But I think you are a few weeks ahead of us on planting; it's still too cold where I live to put our baby tomato plants out yet! :)

[@gretabraun6860]

Love the title of this video!And so agree with what you shared about creating beauty!I just so enjoy the way you serve and cook for your family and the healthy choices that you make in so many ways .It's what I want to do but often don't have the drive or enery. Do you find that because you film part of what you do that it helps to have the drive?😅

My pastor just preached that for Mother’s Day. A virtuous woman has energy and is industrious. Being full of the Spirit and making changes for health if needed are the best recommendations from my experience.

Hi! I was wondering if you would do a video on your sourdough bread an other recipes? I still havent learned how to make the sourdough itself an i am very curious! I would love it if you could do a step by step video. I have a hard time wrapping my head around just how it works. I have severe gut problems so i would really like to learn!

I was wondering if you have ever shared your testimony and also how did you and Josh meet? I love your videos of your beautiful family life. God bless ❤

[@caracampbell1715]

We are a family of four and we only plant eight tomato plants. Mostly because it’s labor-intensive to take care of them, in my opinion. But we live in Texas, where the growing conditions are not ideal like ever.
