HOMESCHOOL MOM DAY IN THE LIFE + DATE NIGHT

[@nancyfarkas3592]

I am in a wheelchair and my sister and her husband lived with me and my parents. Her children grew up around me and were not afraid of it. They have all grown up to be very compassionate people and i think being around me growing up helped.

[@nancycoy9510]

My 94 year old mother who is also Catholic loves St. Theresa & would always be reading something about her when she could see. I know she would like to hear that young people are still reading about her. I will have to tell her.

[@hollyfink6168]

My Dad is 93, he goes to church as much as he can. Devoted Catholic. Has many friends within his church that are able to get him there. His favorite saying, Is God Bless you & your whole family. Just love it.

[@muffetwale1945]

My husband's uncle had Down Syndrome. He lived with us after the last of his family passed. People from all over would stop to talk or bring him pictures they happen to find. Talk about places that hired him to sweep or clean tables. He could not talk yet everyone understood him. He lived to be 69 years old. To us he was a blessing.

[@cynthiaannblaha5127]

I have a young friend who is currently carrying conjoined twins. They cannot be separated because they share a heart and other organs. She is a devout Catholic, as is her husband. She was pressured to abort the babies, even by a Catholic hospital which said they wouldn’t do it but would send her somewhere else. She and her husband are committed to giving the babies the best life they can while they are here. I am sure she is afraid, especially because the girls have to be delivered by c-section. She is prayerful and trusting God. What an example for all of us. LifeSite News recently did an interview with her if you want to here her story. By the way, it is scary to be carrying and delivering a child without disabilities. You just need to pray, pray, pray., before they are born but especially after.

[@cumberlandquiltchic1]

Thank you for sharing this … I will be praying for this lady and her family. Yes, it was scary just being pregnant with a healthy baby. Oh my goodness… please let us know how things go. How far song is she?

[@cynthiaannblaha5127]

@@cumberlandquiltchic1 A c-section was necessary because of their condition and originally scheduled for June 2. The Friday before Mother’s Day she learned their growth had stopped and their heart was slowing down so the surgery was pushed up to May 16. She delivered them alive which is what she wanted so they could be Baptized. They were Baptized and Confirmed and died a little more than an hour after birth. So the parents have two little saints in Heaven, Maria Therese and Rachel Clair. The funeral was yesterday and was quite beautiful. She is such a strong, brave young woman but prayers will be needed as she and her husband go through the stages of grief.

[@ritabaker3113]

You’re a great mom. And Warren is a great dad. God bless.

[@tracyanderson9108]

When I take bread out to thaw I turn it every so often as it is thawing. It seems to help the ice crystals absorb evenly in the bread so it doesn;t get too dry or too soggy anywhere. Hope this helps someone.

[@noreenp.9858]

Through your videos I see how hard Warren works on the farm. He is a good provider for his family as well as your family supports and helps with the cranberry farm too. It is definitely a huge dedication on everyone’s part. I am Catholic too and it’s your faith that helps to keep it all together. God bless you and your beautiful family.

[@patriciasweet9102]

Jennifer pertaining to doing something to the bread when freezing and thawing and using untill all eaten. Years ago the manager at the day old bread store taught me to put a paper towel in the bag and close it If freezing do this then just put the frozen bag or bread or buns. Let it thaw on counter. Do not remove the paper towel until the bag is empty. Same if using immediately. Then paper towel will absorb the moisture. Then re distribute it in the bread. Also if you live in a humid area will not mold as fast on the counter. Have done this since the 80's never any problems. Good luck to whom ever asked the question about bread.

[@hollyfink6168]

Sheets are expensive, good for you! Always want my husbands input when spending a lot of money! Food, he doesn’t say to much about, he says, we have to eat. Driving me crazy, doing my best with these times.

[@WillowsGarden]

Hi Jennifer, Warren and sweet family! I like bed the explanation that you and Warren had on having more children after Joesph. My youngest brother was born with a disability, but as siblings we never seen a disability in our eyes. It was a normal everyday life since we didn’t know any different. God gives us a blessing when a child is born, we are the chosen ones to raise that child. My youngest has a disability and has overcome many obstacles. I just pray that as a parent, it may be hard at times, but the sheer love and joy children bring in our lives, no one would ever abort because of a disability. Have a blessed night!

[@lanagraham1661]

I salute y'all as farmers. Thank you so much for the work you do. I think it is awesome that you are leaving the decision up to your children on if any of them want to take over the farm.❤

[@Izzyandiyanahstepsisters185]

Maria is so adorable Peter going to be a great cook and Joe sure enjoyed his sandwhich it is great he is being responsible can't wait to see Sam's haircut

[@petronille874]

Bonjour de France j adore regarder vos vidéos

[@juliecapone2321]

Your hair looks fantabulous like that

[@shelley4042]

I loved to see your home school day, and am glad to see you are using Catholic books! Where you went for a fish fry is only a couple of blocks from where I grew up. I went to St. Peter's for school and church. My daughter and son-in-law are dairy farmers so I know how hard farming can be.

[@Saraehurst]

Jennifer have you watched The Road to Avonlea TV show? I grew up with that and still love putting it on in background as I go about my chores. I have been rewatching some of your older videos and the difference in the kids. Y'all set a great example for a family unit. I have got lots of inspiration from you. Thanks so much for being you and sharing your life with us! ❤

[@laurabdollartreeprincessan2478]

I find placing a paper towel or two around the bread before freezing it really helps !!! I do it with rolls as well!

[@sheilaperl4155]

Your fish fry looks delicious! You and Warren are wonderful people and parents!😊

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Hi all good morning happy Thursday morning and I loved your channel and you all amazing Supporter and I'm proud of all of you

[@julietruman1850]

We begin officially kindergarten with our daughter with ds this fall. We are interested in SHTL curriculum. Glad to see it is working for Joe!

[@cynthiabula5416]

You are doing a great job with Joe. And the 2 younger kids are perfect with helping Joe. Enjoy your date with Warren.

[@dawnmontoya4444]

Thanks for answering my questions. I definitely could see how younger siblings would be helpful for so many reasons. My advice for anyone going through a challenging situation where fear begins to overtake you is, God gives you the answers and strength as you need it. Initially I tried to come to terms with a child who would not have the life I had imagined for her. Never a mother, no first boyfriends, no cheerleading or sports. Then the realization of her never being independent. I've learned don't worry about tomorrow's struggles. God will provide the answers and peace you need for each chapter. She is now 28. She lives in a home with 3 other ladies and she has 24 hour care. Above all things, she is happy! It's hard for us, but best for her. And that's what we do as parents, right? I love your family. And you really do a great job with Joe. I love seeing Maria now start to step into a role of helping him more. ❤️ I hope you got new sheets 😊 love and prayers from New Mexico.

[@allisonisaacs373]

That is good news that Sam is learning about taxes it is a important thing

[@MyTableofThree]

We love the Libby App and use it all the time to listen to books as a family. Right now we are listening to the latest Hardy Boys Adventure book. I love that it is such a useful app that is free. As a homeschool mom, I love seeing other families' days and how they do school. Hope you and Warren had a great time and thanks for sharing your day with us! You guys are so great to share your story and encourage others.

[@nanner007]

The answer you both gave about farming was so wonderful! The never-ending work 365 days/year is so hard, but it is such a great place to raise and teach kids!

[@christileach4644]

Jennifer - how I enjoy your videos. ALL of them, but especially day in the life. Thank you for sharing. ❤ xo

[@katiel3457]

Sam with the truly feeling the impact of taxes (you know it’s coming as a young person, but knowing vs. feeling it!) & Sam excitedly planning his haircut, Peter & the bird identification, Joe’s colorful rocks, Fish Fry Date Night, errands with a car full of children, just the primary unit with hubby driving & prolly my fave : Maria’s “That’s the goal?” ❤️ 💙💜💛Ty 4 sharing

[@meeganjae72]

I didn't realize that Warren had a brother with special needs. We learn something new about your family everyday.

[@tammybrown1327]

I also freeze my bread. I re-tie the twisters tightly and put two loafs in 2-gallon freezer bags. When unfrozen the bread is fresh enough.

[@tammifields4142]

LOVED Everything about this video..... Thanks for sharing Jennifer! 💕

[@megm4940]

We’re trying to get into a new groove with our homeschool/housework. My husband just got moved to day shift after second shift work our entire marriage. We have a 5 year old and a baby due in September with dads new work schedule and a break in our co-op feels like time for a new routine! But we’re so so thankful for dad being home for dinner now!

[@taffystexaskitchen70]

I love how you let the kids cook in the kitchen. Peter looked so proud of his cookies. Enjoyed Q&A

[@acountrylife]

The quicker they learn to cook, the more help they can offer me or others.

[@susanwilliams1881]

Love your videos

[@vickihill4777]

I have recently did a stretch and sew new elastic in some of our sheets that were still in otherwise good shape. You really only have to do the corners. Just an idea even if you get new ones.

[@nancycarter5101]

Peanut butter and butter is my favorite sandwich

[@patriciasweet9102]

Jennifer really enjoyed the day in the life. Your family is so sweet. Always brings a smile to me and so uplifts my day watching or listening to your videos. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@MNTNSTARZ80.]

I've used the free and clear dryer sheets before, I liked them too mostly because you smell your laundry detergent instead of a conglomeration of smells. I know it was the laundry soap because I never use fabric softener. Fabric softener builds up on your clothes, especially towels and the towels become less absorbent, then you have to clean them in strong vinegar and hot water to remove residue. So I just stopped and now only use dryer sheets

[@jessicahoward118]

Good job,Joe😊😊😊

[@yvettegerry9862]

Great video thank you Jennifer and Warren ! 🌹💫🌹

[@michellenelson11]

I loved this look into your day. We've been homeschooling since 2005. We've used Seton in the past. Now, we do a hodgepodge of different things with mostly Seton and CHC.

[@acountrylife]

Oh, I used many CHC books in years past. Good memories.

[@lindaedwards9756]

Joe does pretty good with the art work and he he seems to enjoy it. That and music.

[@ladyoralia52om]

Good job Peter. Those cookies look delicious. And Maria was right about the dryer sheets. I thought the same thing.

[@stefanielynn84]

Those cookies look amazing!

[@cynthiafrance6741]

so fun , thanx for always sharing

[@rosemarybernal950]

I Have a brother that in the beginning he wasn't talking like he should.. not being able to be potty trained when he should be able at that age.. We as his older siblings helped.. I don't know to this day what it was what it is.. but I think he just a slow learner.. He eventually went to school.. Had personal attention with School and To teach him Every day things.. like toilet training and brushing his teeth..that sort of thing.. Little did we know he was smart.. Just needed the tools . He graduated high school.. It was the most Proudest Moment of his Life..and Ours Well!! ❤ Thank you for sharing that Question and Your Response.. 😊

[@susanberry3676]

Enjoyed this video.. well love all of your videos .. this was nice for a change ... ok I will stop there 😊 those cookies did look delicious ! Your nails look nice too .. would like to see how they last.

[@kathyyoung7517]

Thanks for answering my question about the bread 😅 I’ll give it another try. I was ready to hear Warren’s advice on the matter😂🤣 Really enjoy your videos!!

[@shavonnasimington5099]

Your a Amazing Mom❤ I had reading comprehension difficulties, I totally agree with the pencil/ eraser.. also a bookmark , block out what your not reading and just drop down to keep focused of what your reading

Try adding a sm pkg of vanilla instant pudding to the mix! Cut back the sugar to 1/4 cup. It is my familys favorite!

[@deniselakatos5418]

Hi Jennifer. Can't wait to see Sam's new haircut/hairstyle--he sure left us with a cliffhanger! Love the nails. BTW--did you talk Warren into getting new sheets before your date night?? Have a blessed day.

[@mnchop8503]

Peanut butter and butter sandwiches are perfectly splendid! Try this toasted or griddled like a grilled cheese, Joe! Super delicious ❤.

[@marydrew2583]

I discovered and have been using dip nail kit from Amazon that has 25-30 colors, all the tools and base, top, etc. for $25, much less than a salon and easy to do yourself and yes, they are the longest lasting mani I've ever had.

[@acountrylife]

Can you please share the brand? 😊

I can’t use laundry detergent or dryer sheets with any scent. I am a big fan of perfume free and sue free. I have very sensitive skin and sneeze if too much fragrance. I will try those dryer sheets. Can’t wait to see the new haircut , Sam! Your children are so smart and seem to love learning. I loved learning when it was presented to me in a day to day living and traveling format. I just love your videos!

[@cumberlandquiltchic1]

Tell Peter I have groundhogs in my yard. I sure wish he was near to trap/relocate, etc. they make a mess and a real nuisance. Wish I had a trapper around like him to help me.

Lol, but I drive…. I’m kinda old and lazy… and buy a lot when I shop? Kinda need to have extra for ??? Who show up and needs a meal, or what I need to drive down the road for my parents? ( we are also Catholic, and we all observe Lent and simple meatless meals on Fridays ) I also often prep/cook for three at home, as well a few meals for my parents and my sister, a few times a week…. (Usually I take my parents to many Dr appointments and have lunch with them. (Also help with grocery shopping, cleaning/laundry, exercise/health needs etc.) lol my mother is loosing her vision, but oh my she can some how read all the grocery adds??? Lol I shop Aldi for most all, and run to maybe Walmart for the rest?… opps…. Correction…. I do go to a shop for fresh kinds of Deli meats and cheese they often want. I will have extra family ( daughter home from DePaul, as well as our sone and daughter in law here from Ann Arbor Mi. This weekend….

My love, prayers and blessing to you and family!

Could the bread issue be a response to frost-free freezer vs. not frost-free? Frost-free freezers have lower humidity.

[@kathygarnett5115]

I get all my sheets at Kohl’s, if you have one close

[@sherriebulechek8353]

I think your clothes smell like your laundry detergent because you have no fragrance from the dryer sheet. The dryer sheet masks the aroma of the Laundry soap. That’s my theory anyway 😂

My 35 year old daughter loves audio books, me I can't stand them. I have over 2000 books on my kindle and read a lot. The reason I don't like audio books is most of the time the voice and cadence of the narrator doesn't appeal to me. I'd rather read a book and picture whatever is written and imagine the voices myself, which I can't do if someone else is reading to me
