I can’t tell you how refreshing it is to hear you encourage homemakers! I’ve heard two ladies in my past make the comments of how bored they were staying home…”because you can only clean a house so much.” There IS more to it and you demonstrate it so well. We don’t have to have eight kids, a farm and live in the country to be purposeful. When you talk, I hear start where you are, do what you can with what you have. As cliche as it sounds, time goes way too fast. I’m sixty-two and wonder where the time went! Thank you again for lifting up homemakers, and those ladies that dream of doing it. That little sleeper is a genius idea! Wish I’d had one with my son.🙌🏻

Just FYI - love your videos!!!

One very important element missing in running a home is having an on board supporting husband. Without his support and cooperation the task of the wife & mother would be very difficult & even miserable. On board, supporting husbands of large families are a minority here in the states. With all the work & business of the wife/mother it would be crucial for the husband to be busy in something he personally enjoys doing as a man, so he doesn’t start complaining & stoking arguments.

Everyone is in a hurry, no stopping to smell the roses. It’s become very materialistic n money talks big. Homes going for millions today. Children are growing up with technology n lack of respect. Morsels have truly left this generation. Yet your family is being raised with love, respect n much knowledge. Your a mother who’s always there to protect her chicks n feed them well n give them a home with many wonderful memories. I know there’s more women who follow you on your Utube channel n your Pod Cast n I like to say kudos to them all. You all are women to admire with much strength n respect. ♥️♥️😊👍👍👍🌟

There IS value in homemaking. Making our families and homes a priority, if its possible, IS important. I have been a single mom and I have felt like I had to do it all. I remarried and we made the decision for me to stay home and I feel like it was the best decision. Often its treated as if its not a job. It is a full time job and children and all their different stages take time and effort.

Thank you so much for this video!! I come from a line of women, be they family or friends, who are fantastic homemakers but ANGRY because they have to do it all. Watching you and Becky at Acre Homestead gives my heart wings. The way you've shown love to your home and family is gorgeous. I feel as if I've been living in a foreign place and am suddenly surrounded by people who speak my language and know my culture. I used to be angry and resentful.I forgive myself for feeling that way because you can't lay down with the dogs and not pick up some fleas. (not that those ladies are dogs by any means.) I simply reacted in a way that was familiar. I've been shifting away from anger and resentment in the home for years, since the 90s. Extricating myself from old belief systems has taken time. I have had times when I feel overwhelmed with the people around me. Observing the culture and society around me while working at being graceful towards myself and others will probably be a lifelong path that gets a little easier to manage but will never go away. It's starting to hit me what has shifted, how it has shifted and why. These times are rough and finding my footing has phases of feeling separated from the world around me. I want to climb on my roof and holler at my neighbors to grow food and learn scratch cooking. I have to breath and take in that we each have our own path to walk. Thank you so much for showing your path and allowing me and others to be a part of your community. You are a precious gem. (P.S. I know you're human and likely have your "moments". That's okay for you and for all of us.) Cheers!

Such good advice! Decluttering. I'm at the age to finally compose that "Dear Family, I have enough stuff..." letter to all my loved ones who struggle to think of Christmas and birthday and Mother's day gifts for the person who after a lifetime, has already everything they could need and has very few new "wants". Instead of stuff, gift me an afternoon of your time redeemable anytime of your availability and choosing in the upcoming year so we can go to lunch together, or take an adventure walk on a hiking trail we haven't walked, take a walking tour of a downtown in a city or small town located between where you live and I live and learn something regional about that place you never would have known if you hadn't stopped. Time is the most precious commodity most people have for different reasons at different stages in your life and it becomes the single most important thing to your elders as they realize they just want to be more content and closer to family and friends instead of acquiring more stuff.❤ Our time is rapidly running out.

This is also important when you live in an area with long summer days. Here in Alaska my girls had sheer white curtains so they learned to go to bed no matter if the sun was up like it is almost all day in the summer. Also for camping, the kids needed to be able to sleep in a bright tent. It also helped set their body rhythm so when we are dark most of the day getting up in the morning wasn’t so hard. The kids adapted to it very quickly and they can pretty much sleep anywhere and anytime they need to now. 😊

The roast and the twice baked potatoes look so delicious! Your children are so blessed to have you as their mother! You really cook some amazing food and I love it! That’s the way I grew up! May God bless you and your beautiful family!

I just look forward to your videos each week so much! I love all the things that you do and your insight into day-to-day life and homemaking. You are by far my favorite KZbinr❤

Just like she was talking about there’s so many aspects to homemaking I feel like you have to run it like a business I do as much as I can when I can and when I can’t, I don’t some days are so overwhelming and other days seem like a breeze! 😊

Thank you for this video. Some days I get overwhelmed with all that I have to do. My non homesteading friends don’t understand when you’re responsible for all the food etc, you can’t just run to the grocery and have dinner ready. Some days I think how am I going to get all these things done today.🙄 I’m glad I’m not the only one that feels this way.

I have had 3 children. One thing that I have done that works really well is to put two twin mattresses side by side and I will sleep on one and put my baby on the other one. They can still see and hear me but they are not right next to me. They have space in between them and me so that they can get the comfort of having mama close by but not sleeping right next to me. I have a 4 year old and a 2 year old and now a 7 month old. I start to sleep with my baby like that from the beginning so that they will not have to worry that I am not there but I am still close enough to take care of them during the night.

I love your idea to make a note on your phone of things you need to shop for (like your sock basket). I even keep a tiny tape measure Keychain on my keys to measure something that needs to be a certain size or fit in specific area.

Thank you so much for this video today! It‘s already been said by others but when you said “I get to be an interior designer, chef, artisan baker…” that really hit home for me (no pun intended 😂). I have so many interests and at the moment don’t work outside of our home. Being at home allows me (as you said) to actually do a little bit of all the things I love to do. Thank you for this reminder! I appreciate you sharing your thoughts and experience, and for your encouragement here on your channel. P.s. recently tried out some of your sourdough recipes and they were great!

Thank you for your encouragement! I get so tired of doing the same things all the time. I feel like my 3 kids are so ungrateful. They were not raised to be this way but they sure can be. It makes me want to just quit when they act this way. But I can't I'm there mother lol. Thank you God bless!!!

Such great info not just for new moms, but homemakers that have done it for a while but need to be reminded of what an important, and difficult, job it can be!

You make it all look so effortless. At 63, I've been a homemaker for a long time, but I can still get super inspired by people like you. :)
