Priscilla here! Thank you for this video. I'm struggling to be a better homemaker. Sometimes I wonder wether it's the world we live in or if it's just me. Your KZbin video has brought a little sunshine to my heart. Thank you.

[@cottagetime3336]

Hi Priscilla! There are days I struggle too. I think that is perfectly normal. However, the world we live in can be a huge influence too. Sometimes it's good to just take a nice day and do something out of the ordinary. That always help me come back with fresh motivation. I hope you have a blessed homemaking week.❤

I really connect with the old fashioned homemaking, going with the flow of the seasons feels really natural and gives me energy as each season changes. We absolutely should do it for the welfare of our families. Lovely peaceful little video, thanks for putting it together.

[@cottagetime3336]

That's a beautiful way to say it! I do love old fashioned too. God bless!

I am making your granola right now and added some cinnamon and nutmeg. I’m so excited to try this and love the simplicity of the recipe and the healthy sweetener and oil! Great for a Fall treat!!

Dear Alisha, I'm looking forward to the recipe for your homemade granola 🥰 that looked really yummy, just like the sausage and bean soup - sounds like a really tasty and hearty dish, perfect on a cold day! Have a blessed Sunday ❤️

[@cottagetime3336]

I'm about to make myself a cup of tea and add those recipes.😊 We love this granola. The kids eat it for a snack...we run out quick.😁 Thanks for being here, Nessa!

[@cottagetime3336]

Hi, Nessa. I just got the recipes added. Have a cozy week.

[@foxawaycottage7272]

I would love to be able to start some plants from seed prior to the growing season. Unfortunately, I don't have a place where they can get the light they need and I cannot afford grow lights. We no longer have a car and I honestly don't know how we're going to get garden plants this year.

[@cottagetime3336]

I don't have a grow light either. I usually sit them in front of a glass door that we don't use. To sprout them they really just need to stay moist and warm enough. Do you have a table you could sit them on under a normal overhead light?

[@dannmurray1199]

Hi Alicia! Always hate to see your videos end. I enjoy them so much. Gardening has been on my mind alot lately especially since we've had such a mild winter in RI so far. Mine will have to be container gardens but that's ok...I enjoy those too. Stay well...God Bless.

[@cottagetime3336]

Thank you kindly D'Ann! Container gardening is fun too.☺️ I hope you get an abundant harvest and enjoy your gardening season! 👩‍🌾💕

Hi, Canela and welcome.💗 I'm so glad you're here.😊🌷

[@thecottageletterbox3924]

Lovely video my friend!! 💕 Where did you get your plastic seeding container?

[@cottagetime3336]

Thank you, Abigail! 💗 I got the tray at Walmart. It holds 72 plants.

[@0JReynolds]

This year I want to try and grow a few things. So now it’s time to plant seeds? ~ Janet 😘

[@cottagetime3336]

Ooh great! I hope you have a big harvest. When to start seeds depends on your planting zone. We live in zone 6. Our outdoor planting is beginning of May, so now is the time for us to start indoor seeds. The bigger the transplants are when you set them in the garden, they're going to produce sooner and be stronger against pests. You can ask google your planting zone so you can know if it's time to start in your area. Hope this helps! Have a great week!

[@Homehaven3]

I would love to make videos as lovely as these. I have tried, but I don't have the voice or asthetic as you do. So, when I'm discouraged by the world's system and the rat-race mentality, I stop by your channel knowing that I will be blessed and encouraged. Thank you for following God's pattern.
