Day in the Life ~ Homesteading and Homeschooling

[@ingweking8748]

I am 19 year old young woman. I am living in Turkey( I wanna leave this country so bad) I am going to start college this October. I started to watch your videos at 2021. I was sick while I was watching your videos. Your videos provided me with comfort whenever I feel lonely. I hope I can be a mother like you one day. I really appreciate your videos. Thank you for sharing your beautiful family's precious moments with us. God bless you and your family🙏

Are you Turkish? Why do you want to leave your country, family, friends and all you have known your whole life? If you are determined to leave. Have a plan. Work hard and educate yourself. Just wondering why a 19 year would post something like you here?

Jessica, I KNOW YOU’RE a praying family!!! Please pray for my 17 yr old grandson Nathaniel! His spine was fractured at Lumbar 2, 3, & 4 during his variety football game Thursday night! He’s not paralyzed, Thank God!!! He’s the oldest of 5. (2) 17, 15, 3 1/2, and just 2. Prayers can move mountains so if you can pray for him, I’d greatly appreciate it! Thank I’m advance! Christine

[@Suzie-he9ni]

Your children are so precious. Watching them run to the fence to see their dad was so beautiful. I don't know of any child that sets their alarm just to see their dad. You are a remarkable woman. What a blessed family.

[@starlaross8151]

This was my favorite part of watching this video too. What a precious family.

[@YourGuardianAngie]

Hello from Miami, FL! You have just pulled me out of postpartum depression! You quite possibly saved my life ❤ please continue this work. I've been trying to figure out how I can organize my day better. Im a mommy to 2 beautiful girls, currently pregnant as well 💕 We live on an avocado grove with some chickens and 11 loving dogs. Life is crazy here with my brilliant 17 year old sister, my wonderful mother and my one and only true love 💋 I do homeschooling, I cook, I clean, I raise protecting, loyal, and loveable dogs, take care of 30+ chickens, and most importantly I raise children. I've known for a long time that I live a blessed life, but when my youngest daughter was born, I didnt know how to juggle it all without burning out. This gave me so much inspiration, hope and utter admiration, not just for you and I, who are complete strangers yet, so beautifully alike.. but for ALL us moms out there who are the true backbone to every big happy family. I thank you kindly for sharing ❤ So much gratitude & respect Mary

[@kkm64]

Jessica, you and your family are all I wanted to be. Sadly I was infertile and had two nervous breakdowns which then took the ability to become a mother was taken away. I love and appreciate your life. I also wanted to homeschool. I appreciate your vlogs. I dedicated my life to having several pets as my children to mother. We are Christians too and study at home. Although I did help raise my baby sister, nephews and I was a preschool teacher and Sunday school teacher so I was indirectly a mom.

[@threerivershomestead]

God bless you 🙏

@cynthiafisher9907 thank you. I appreciate your sweet, kindness. God is healing me after all these years. Sometimes I dream of what it would be like to have children. My pets do help me very much. I recently just got two kittens. They are 5 months and 4 months old. They are a handful and yet I love them even more because they are handfuls. Please keep me in your prayers. I'm 59 and infertility still hurts sometimes. It never leaves but it fades.

[@kkm64]

@cynthiafisher9907 I've been pet mama to 2 parakeets, a turtle, 3 dogs, 5 cats. For 39 years. We had to put to sleep one on June 29th. I couldn't stand one night of quiet and adopted siblings on June 30. Sadly the brother of the siblings had to be put to sleep on July 5. He came to us sick. We still have the girl her name is Holly. She needed a playmate desperately, so we adopted another boy on August 4th his name is Henry. We named them Holly June Noel because we adopted her in June and Henry August Nicholas because we adopted him in August. We had named Holly's brother Ivy. The Holly and the Ivy. Now we have Holly and Henry. Holly was born April 21 and Henry was born May 11. They're just a few weeks apart in age. We love them so much. Thank you for being so sweet to me. I pray for your daughter and for the loss of your cat.

[@christinaeudy3199]

I have the exact same life. I wanted 3 kids, to homeschool them etc. I'm the oldest. Took care of all my siblings and my grandparents. Got married at 19 (yes I'm still married to the same man) and started trying for our family. Many years went by with no luck. Got tested for fertility. Got bad news, eggs aren't viable. At age 38 diagnosed with breast cancer. I'm 8 years in remission. In the past 5 years. My hubby and I decided to transform out back yard into a homestead. I now have 15 garden beds, fruit trees and chickens. I'm blessed with siblings that now have some children and I'm now the favorite Aunt! You're not alone. I'd like the say the pain fades. But mine never has. I'm not in a financial position to afford the courts to adopt. I think the saddest thing about having no children is that people stop inviting you to their Childrens life because you have none. They think that they are sparing your feelings when the opposite is happening. I'm a mother to none but motherly to all!! May GOD Bless you

[@hennahabits]

You’re an inspiration and I appreciate your videos a lot. I am 16, but I hope to raise a family similar to yours one day❤

[@clarioncall8449]

Your days look so much like mine did. I also had the under 6 naptime rule - my 8 homeschooled children needed it and like you, so did I! Watching this brought back so many wonderful memories; thank you for sharing. ❤️ My children are mostly grown and married - you’ll love the grandchildren stage! God bless you and your beautiful family.

[@donnacochran3335]

You are quite possiblity the best at time management that I've ever seen!!! You go girl!! You continue to amaze me. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and beautiful family with us. Have a wonderful day 😊

[@MidnyghtGamer4944]

I love the idea of the morning meeting with the older kids. It's a great idea as it gives them some time with you to talk about things the older kids need to talk about and also helps them not feel left out as the younger kids typically need more of mom and dad's attention. I don't have kids but I'm going to share that idea with a few of my friends. Thanks for sharing.

[@rethawilson6289]

Oh, sweet lady, how can your videos get any better? Love love. Those children are just beautiful creatures. I saw my past and present with my grandchildren, etc. We are so blessed and thankful for God's treasures in this life. May God bless you and Adam for the journey of raising Godly men and women . AMERICA will be blessed. Every minute, I'm with my family, which is close to my heart and is the best in this life.

[@whitestone4401]

God bless our mothers! I have been blessed with having my 4 grandchildren while their parents are working. Nap time is much needed all the way around. Watching these beautiful children grow and learn is nothing short of amazing.

[@coreensmith301]

What a blessing. We see so little of Adam. It was a sweet way to end your day with him.

[@ashpopbear]

You can really see how much you love your and family (and how much they love you). I watch your videos just for that some days. How you prepare food and homestead is interesting but it’s how happy your family is that really makes your videos special.

[@TheEGA4421]

Jessica, you and other parents and/or grandparents are a blessing from Heaven. Put aside everything else you do daily, being able to handle homeschooling, different grade levels and by yourself is wonderful! Yours and Adam's children are so blessed to have parents like you. Giving children chores helps with their development in working with others. Anyone who thinks you sit at home doing nothing probably have low self esteem.

[@claudialeger3208]

Absolutely sets the tone of my week to watch and your kiddos. You have a well planned day but allow the independence of each child to shine. You motivate me to get more structure in my life. Thank you all for such sweet blessings.

[@ottostrohschein8180]

I’ve seen many posts asking about storing empty jars. So I’m sharing the wisdom of my grandmother. She taught me this in the 1960’s and I have been doing this ever since. These jars are not sealed as this is water. It is clean water that can be used for washing or for consumption. If you are concerned about stored water, remember, IT’S WATER. You can boil it before consuming it. As long as your source is safe, the water should be safe. �These are my ‘empty’ canning jars. If you notice, they aren’t really empty. They are filled with water. �My grandmother always said that an empty jar takes up just as much space as a full one. NEVER put an empty jar on the shelf. If you don’t have anything to can or store in it, fill it with clean water.�This has come in handy many times. In February 2021, here in Texas, we had a deep freeze. We were without power and water for about a week. We kept warm with a fireplace and blankets. For water, I had my canning jars. Even the small 4oz jelly jars had water in them. �The stores were out of bottled water, so no one could get any for over a week. I had some neighbors who knew I had jars full begging me for my water. I had shared this wisdom nugget and been ridiculed for it. I see posts in other groups and videos saying to stock up on bottled water. I’m doing what my grandmother said. I’ll keep my empty jars full of water Thought of you when I saw this

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday, see you next week!

Hi Jessica, you maybe getting this twice, not sure it when through the first time. We raise meat birds every other year and we had 200 lbs of feed left over this year we would like to give you. I believe you keep layer hens all year round, this feed is 19% protein so you may want to mix it 50/50 with what you use now, Were close to you over here in Medina, OH and could drop it off when we go to Wisconsin second week of October. Just let us know

I am going crazy with my two. I wish God granted me the patience you have, and the perseverance, the strength and willpower you must have to use to get things done is incredible. I can't imagine that there is one selfish bone in your body. You're utterly selfless. You are such an inspiration to me. Thank you so much for sharing your life

[@aruvielevenstar3944]

I am a stay at home mom too, my children both have autism, my eldest very severe. He is now 27 and still at home and I wish it was as organized as with your family, but things are very difficult here. Every day a tantrum or 5 and agressiveness from the eldest. The youngest is 24 and lives nearby his university, he goes well. But the eldest takes a toll on our whole family. He destroys things and we don’t get help, because in our country when they are grown up( 18 years of age) they have to put on a signature underneath everything and he doesn’t acknowledge his diagnoses of autism. So living in a sheltered home ( which we would like very much ) isn’t an option. You are truly blessed with all of your wonderful children.❤

[@pilgrimlearning9530]

I love your DITL videos! I can't really can yet so I don't usually catch the preservation vids, I'll get to those one day! But these are amazing for me! I've got 3 little ones now, and 8yo, a 3yo and a 3mo. You are an inspiration. Keep it up and look after yourself sweet lady.

Apologies for bombarding your videos with comments but I think it helps the algorithm and I love complimenting where it’s due!

It’s really brought some strong memories back, a few tears but they’re happy ones because they are all good memories 😊
