I don't practice any faith currently but I wouldn't trade having been raised Christian for anything, there are a lot of important values learned through it. Seeing your family raised in this way that is so contrary to what most people deem as normal by today's standards is heartwarming.

[@TheSeasonalHomestead]

Thank you for sharing this!!

[@oyinda01]

@vistas5823 as someone who grew up in a different culture I can say being a true Christian is the best thing that ever happened to me. I pray you try it.

[@alittleheavenonearth]

Love honesty ❤❤❤

[@LitoGeorge]

At times, you sound like you're run ragged. I feel empathy for you - so busy! (Ex farmer here, so I get farm life). I hope you get the rest you need. Beautiful family, may you all be blessed.

[@TayLybb]

You're inspiring the rest of us to blaze our own trail. In the last few years we took our kids out of public school, started homeschooling, expanded our garden, started chickens. We're looking for a home with a larger property to expand our animals and food production. It's all overwhelming. But thanks for sharing how days aren't perfect. One step. One project at a time.

Thanks for sharing. Your channel is by far one of my favorites! Thanks for being such a great example of a mom, wife and child of God!

Such kind words ❤❤

Your Kids are amazing. What wonderful Parents God gave these children. They will surely grow up to be Happy, Healthy adults with wonderful work ethics. Team work love it!❤

Beautiful ❤

I cant wait to live like this.

[@sarahshuman996]

Would you ever consider making a video about how your kids run their farm stand? I’m considering letting my daughter run one and would love to see how you do it 😊

[@henrooo]

It's really great seeing how the kids are involved with various tasks👍🏽🙏🏽

[@tobybarlow7683]

Every time I watch one of your videos, I think “this one is my favorite!” But this one is my very favorite! Bless the early morning seminary kids❤

[@melaniebalzer7806]

Your videos have such a calming effect. It is a great pleasure to be able to watch them.

[@TheSeasonalHomestead]

A bit of calm in this raging world :) Thank you, and glad you enjoy watching them as much as we enjoy making them 👍

[@melaniebalzer7806]

@@TheSeasonalHomestead Indeed. And I guess your are inspiring not only me, to get back to some skills we learned in the past and forgot about it. When it´s time for white cabbage, I will ferment some and put up for eating in the winter.

[@alittleheavenonearth]

@@melaniebalzer7806agree❤❤❤❤

[@jennaleejimenez8068]

If you want to make the brine and have it ready to put the veggies in right away, just take a small portion of the cool/ room temp water that you need, dissolve the salt in that and add it back into the rest of your water. That way, the salt dissolves but you don't have to wait for everything to cool all the way back down ☺️ hope this helps for next time. Oh and you definitely don't come across as run ragged (Farmer here too) We only see little bits of your life. I hope KZbin can be an encouraging community for you bc you and your family are so vulnerable with us! 😊 Thank you for sharing!

[@karlastevens9292]

That’s a lot to jam into a day and everyone makes it look effortless. 😄 You have a beautiful family! If the world modeled this, the world would be a better place. Blessings!

[@joeyhardin1288]

Thanks for the video! We are on a half acre with a 2500 sq ft garden, will pick our final tomatoes and peppers Monday, 25° that night. I would love to have rabbits, chickens and pot bellied pigs but the wife says NO. SO, I sleep in until the sun has started doing it's thing. Those kids are wonderful! My son is 27, a geologist and works all over the country. I miss him. God Bless and stay safe.

[@Natural2bmii]

This is awesome! I admire you and your husband's way of raising your family. Ideally, I would love to live my life like this. Thank you for sharing your life with us!

[@tiffanywilkerson5569]

This is so fun to watch a real day of a like minded mama. We also use the good and the beautiful and tuttle twins for homeschooling, and grow our food. Thanks for the video!

I love love LOVE this "day in the life" format. Hopefully you'll be inspired to make more of these in the future!

I just came across your channel today, and I absolutely love the continent you are sharing! In my honest opinion, I really think that this is the way that humans should be living their lives! And I really commend you on sharing this lifestyle with all of us, and helping to keep us inspired and motivated to do our own version of this

Just happened on your channel as a suggestion! I watched your most recent video, and your photography and music and content is just beautiful! Thanks for sharing, I will be subscribing and looking forward to more content!

My favorite video yet of The Seasonal Homestead. Loved being able to spend "a day in the life." I'm totally trying out that cowboy candy. Have a few pounds of jalapeno peppers still in the fridge that I need to find a use for. Thank you!

[@TalkingBoomslang]

I am always so excited when I see you’ve posted a new video! Thank you for sharing your self and your lovely family with us! ❤

[@TheSeasonalHomestead]

You are so welcome!

[@taranr1242]

I love your videos. I like to zest limes and freeze the lime zest instead of throwing away unused lime peels so I always have it on hand.

[@TheSeasonalHomestead]

Awesome idea! I didn’t even think of freezing it!

[@hannahthehomesteader]

I do this, too! Every time I need a citrus fruit for a recipe or eat one, I make sure to zest it first and save it. It has come in handy SO many times. I have tried dehydrating but didn't notice a huge advantage and it takes more effort than freezing.

[@Aelfswythe]

I zest them but let the peels air dry then store them in a jar for later, but freezing is a great idea too!

[@mmfaburada95]

What a great family that you have!! God bless

[@brittanyanderson3911]

I look forward to these videos more than anything on TV. I live in MI and know that when you are planting something, it will be time for me to do the same a few weeks later.

Cool, thank you for sharing.

[@ThatBritishHomestead]

Love this!!!

[@jkoperski9925]

I agree with all the comments I read. Do you actually have disagreements within your family? What do your children think of being on camera for public viewers being able to see? A Q&A with your kids would be awesome. Just simple things, what they enjoy doing, how they see their lives, what dreams they have. But anyhow, this has already been an amazing insight in a day of life and it was a pleasure to watch. Thanks to all of you. You are simply awesome in many ways.

[@TheSeasonalHomestead]

Disagreements...? OH YES!!! Those just don't usually make it on camera ;) Kids for the most part really enjoy being on camera. It teaches them good stage presence, while we are still able to maintain our privacy. Good idea on the kids Q&A. We will ask them about that 👍

[@jkoperski9925]

@@TheSeasonalHomestead This is a fantastic answer. Maintaining your privacy is most important. That's why I hesitated to ask about the kids Q&A. Anyway do I hope you always feel free to share content you feel inspired of. We are grateful and cheer you on. Through your and Jonna Jinton's videos do I also feel reminded of my personal connection and responsibility to nature. Thank you and thank God.

You can peel a dozen garlic cloves all at once by placing them in a stainless steel bowl. Then place a second bowl (same size) on top of it and shake well. The skins will come off the garlic cloves.
