I just love all the kid noise in the background. I love how ALL the kids treat each other. Even Seth holding Peace hand so carefully! You are a wonderful family. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@staceypiper3319]

You’re building great memories for your children they’ll always remember.

[@stephaniemullinax1597]

Thank you for your honesty and transparency on how things are going. Going through a season were I’m struggling to maintain any sort of routine due to constantly changing schedules in our family. Putting the “kitchen to bed” every night and waking up to a clean sink is one thing that I’ve been able to maintain though and it really does make in difference to start my day off with a cleaned up kitchen!

[@dotgoodwin4312]

I totally agree

[@OurTribeofMany]

I agree!

[@shirleyvincent131]

Those kids are living their best lives! I love it!!❤

The kids helping and supporting Peace is so adorable

[@bonnied3550]

Great video Sarah. Taking the kids around the farm in the train, their living a great journey 😃👍🏼❤️ You and Solo will never regret moving your family to the property and I believe the kids will thank you for the outdoor activities that have opened up to them. They are having great creativity❤️😃👍🏼 Blessings on this 4th of July weekend🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️

[@adriennerose9522]

Driving that train makes you look like a mama duck with all her ducklings behind her. SO CUTE!!

[@hebrewmama]

I’m glad someone else has said it. But a made up bed does zero for me but…..a clean kitchen sink? Yes please

[@naturalsimpleliving]

Me too! I love a made bed, but I love walking into a clean kitchen once I wake up and really any time of the day! Haha! With a family our size, it can get a little tricky.

[@KoalaKris]

Same 😊👋

[@Kmc1316]

Absolutely!

[@kindnessmatters4068]

Absolutely!!!! 😊

[@ginahardman3573]

I love my bed being made- but a clean sink- all the dishes put away.clean counters and clean kitchen floor makes me feel accomplished

[@kajehomar7503]

5 Little Peppers…..what a great book. And anyone who might be having a bad day should have a little dose of Peace. What a cute kid and a sweet family.

[@MissyDcherrydaisypie25]

I feel like Peace’s name just fits so well it’s almost prophetic she just brings this calm presence where ever she goes

[@lisafountain9306]

Oh my goodness that train with them all sat in the carriages is the most adorable thing I’ve ever seen ❤️❤️❤️

[@Just-YOLANDA-T.C]

I need to remind myself, daily, it's just a season. You got this Sarah.

[@ednanelson1897]

I can't believe how big the chickens are already. I love Peace"s face as you ask her questions. She is such a cutie pie. Seeing Seth holding Peace's had was so adorable. 😊😊

[@jeannebrown484]

A fold out banquet table from Sam’s or Costco would work great for a food cooking/prep on your outside area. You can always use the table for additional seating area as well for large meal gatherings or a place to start seedlings for the garden.

[@OurTribeofMany]

Great idea!

[@afoster2629]

Yes! Even the folding benches make great kid tables

[@vjohnson2400]

Hey Sarah, so pleased to hear you’re over the worst and are getting back to some degree of normality. It’s so very difficult to step aside when you are a “doer”. So thankful for a loving family who are able and willing to help. Hope you find your new groove soon, it will help everyone to feel a little more settled.

[@jenniferfulton4505]

I applaud your ability to be so calm and joyful with 13 people in a small house! My house is 1600 square feet and it's just me and my husband, and I sometimes feel stressed and aggravated and like we need more space. You exhibit so much grace, it's very inspiring! Thank you! Love your channel!!

[@mollynitka6894]

I love running my pressure cooker outside in the garage for not only the counter space but sometimes the strong smells! Love your positivity while navigating this new season!

[@erbie-wan521]

I love how real and honest you are. The new house when it’s finished will be extra sweet after less than ideal living arrangements.

[@joterry123]

Get rid of carpets , have rugs much easier to clean and replace ! Xxx you may need to build a Shed- like structure for a school / playroom , that will help with your storage dilemmas , a nice big one 20 by 20 ! Xxx

[@OurTribeofMany]

Our new house will not have carpet.

[@lindabarnes4128]

Your flexibility and marvelous sense of adventure and growth are really helping this move. I truly appreciate how you are able to balance life, family and work. Thanks for generously sharing your life, even when you are pressed, stressed or challenged. You're literally homeschooling us too! I've followed you since before Seth was born. You've nursed me thru a serious health issue by sharing your food prep. Your nursing experience really shines through in how you handle life. And it has far reaching effects! Excited to watch this unfolding of such a precious lifestyle!

[@paulinatorell5273]

What a blessed place to have your children grow up. Wonderful memories to be had. 🙏🏻😊

[@nktgordon]

That train is amazing, glad to see how much use it’s getting so everyone can ride along. Rides are great for little ones, my kiddos always used to fall asleep so easily on them. ❤

[@lydial2176]

A clean sink? Yes please! I love watching the kids have such a great time on the property. So happy you are doing better Sarah.

[@joypower3199]

You driving with your children in tow behind you reminded me of your ducks. Mama in the lead with the babies following along. It must bring tears of gratitude to your eyes to experience all the Lord has helped you manifest & provide your beautiful family.

[@cherylbrunner9404]

So great you have all that land for the kids

[@janefreeman7157]

I'm having a great time looking at your new farm life😊😊😊😊❤❤!!!! Such great kids! The baby is so in tuned with everything!!!!

[@fallonlivingston2422]

A clean sink is EVERYTHING!!!! Makes all the difference!!!

[@judithcoe7551]

Sarah do get rid of carpet! The tile is easier to clean! Get throw rugs. Everyone needs some personal space. Picnic tables outside to eat on?❤🎉😊

[@lindagray8920]

Peace is a lucky little girl to have such wonderful siblings. They’re all so kind & helpful.

[@kathleenbaker4078]

What a blessed way for children to be raised. May God continue His blessings. So happy to see you are doing better. Prayers and best wishes to your family. May God bless you in all your endeavors.❤🙂

[@crystaledwards7649]

Buying your property was the best thing you and Solo did an amazing job buying the property the kids are loving it and love seeing the kids having so much fun and loving the way they enjoy the Chicken's,Duck's and kittens. Your property is so beautiful and the kid's are just loving it and have so much land to enjoy. Sarah I see you are loving your farm animal's as much as the kid's! I look so forward to seeing your new house you are building and all the new farm animal's you will add to the family. Looking back on old video's and loved you guy's trip to Kenya and all the fun the kid's had playing with all the kids there and really getting to know more about you and the ties you have to Kenya and seeing Solo's family. Your family is amazing! Your children are so smart and growing into amazing adults. The way your children love their brother's and sister's so much! Peace is growing up so fast. Is she enjoying walking in the grass any better lol. They are burning off so much energy playing on the property I bet they sleep good at night. Looking forward to many new adventure's on your beautiful property and it is BEAUTIFUL! Love you all♥

[@crystaledwards7649]

Peace is loving her new shoes! That little girl alway's has a smile on her face♥♥ Her name was the perfect name. Are the duck's enjoying the pond and are they finding their way to pond by themselves now?

[@angeladomann-bolduc5077]

When it gets crazy, loud and overwhelming turn it around and appreciate your blessings and gifts. So many people wish they could have children and are unable, something has happened to their children like their child is sick or worse. I know you are appreciative and you have no space in your house. Just trying to help you. I never imagined my son would be in a horrible car accident (severe TBI) when he was 16. It has changed him and all of us. Praying for you. ❤

[@kcall526]

Just an amazing childhood for the children! And the parents, of course, but what a nice way to grow up!!

[@eileenc.5303]

Five Little Peppers and How They Grew...loved it as a kid. Fun to hear you reading it to your kids!

[@shellitrowbridge1155]

Loved those books.

[@carolyngochenaur6765]

Detasseling is removing the tassels off the female rows so the male rows can pollinate the female plants for a hybrid. We have a lot of seed corn in my area which is northeastern Indiana. Specialty crops such as seed corn requires irrigation. Yes, it’s very dry here too. The barley field right by my house is harvested. Wheat is not ready to harvest yet here.

[@h_williams1221]

My grandparents had their kitchen separated by a porch. Mainly to keep the heat out of the main house in the summertime. I love your idea of doing some cooking on the deck.

[@TRoxanne55]

I personally don’t know how you do it and stay sane. It’s just us 3 and when I am down it takes me awhile to get things running smoothly again. I pray things will start coming together better for you. Love your videos. Remember this move was a good decision 😀

[@OurTribeofMany]

It's better every day!

[@thisrothtribe3780]

We needed rain SO BAD too. The little we were getting wasn’t doing ANYTHING for the ground here in Michigan… crops definitely were feeling it. Thankfully, we got a sudden downpour on the 2nd or 3rd that we weren’t expecting. But, if we don’t keep getting rain… my heart hurts for the farmers and food supply chains!!

[@afoster2629]

I love that train, watching your kiddo caboose is adorable and working

[@sharlaleonard]

If your plum tree is like ours the plums are small like wild plums. They will be orangish pink when they are ripe and will just fall off when they are ready. I surround the tree with 3 or 4 sheets and just shake the limbs and the plums just fall off then I can pick them up!! Way easier! They aren’t really good for eating they are so small but they are great for putting in my steam juicer and making jelly!!

[@maryfeiten884]

Really enjoyed your video today. You’re an awesome mom! Loved the tour of your land while driving the train. ❤

[@barbararinehart4784]

You are amazing, Sarah. I learn something new everytime I watch your videos.

[@sandrap3047]

You are so right about creating that childhood memory of eating mulberries! I remember being a little girl picking mulberries off my Grandmother's mulberry tree and eating as many as we could before she starting screaming at us to get out from under the mulberry tree because the mulberries stained our feet. lol Love your new property! You can tell the kids love it!

[@dotgoodwin4312]

Detasseling is hard work. Nice job boys! Glad u r feeling better Sarah!

[@HOELEBOELE]

The train looks so much fun.

[@sueleeg3215]

I agree about the made bed vs clean sink/counter. I give you so much credit for all you do. Thanks for sharing your day with us. Oh and your shirt was very pretty.

[@roslinney4285]

[@annapower9799]

That train is the coolest! I love a clean sink as well. But, gotta have my bed made. It’s on our main floor and see it every time we go down the hall so that probably makes the difference. Another great video Sarah. Glad you’re feeling better

[@kendratai]

Lisa is the reason I still do sourdough!! It's so practical the way she does it. We lived on her dutch baby and her pancakes this winter

[@anaraposo522]

Love the video and love watching all the kids turning into little farmers and getting to learn all the extra stuff around the farm. Thank you for sharing.

[@therapybykay2914]

Ms. Sarah Thank you for your honesty. I do hear complaints. But real ones. You complain mama. Cuz its venting. Its therapeutic. This is one of those busy, chaotic seasons. You bless me with your honesty. And I know other mamas appreciate you. My only child is 27 and i have 4 grandkids. So once a year my routine and home go through a tornado made of 5 kids. Even those 4 break things just from everday living. I like your videos. Keep being you!

[@janiceyoder621]

I just love seeing you and the kids outside and being farmers. That is so good for them! And yes, you have a rooster trying to crow. The roo has a bigger comb then the hens.

[@bluejayfly1148]

I’m happy you are doing better. You and your family truly are blessings. You’ve always got such amazing ideas with cooking and farming 🙏

[@kimmyjo52]

I totally understand the clean sink need - it really makes a difference! I love the train and Peace and the new shoes! Adorable! I love watching her answering you with the little nod. I'm so glad you are getting things in a routine I know how that feels! I hope it only gets better! What a blessing to have so much outside time! I would love that! Enjoy!

[@Tennesseegurly]

I agree on the clean sink! I get so much more done if that my sink is clean.

[@emilymikelsons8887]

I am starting a new job which is always a big life transition so I have been inspired by you to get my routines going to bring the peace!

[@diversekakes]

Oh awesome! So glad you have a starter now! I always thought you would love it! I started using mine in 2020 and we love using it. I don’t know how I ever lived without one!

[@alishaking482]

Love the idea of cooking stuff outside. My parents actually live in their camper when they go to work and they run every appliance outside. Crock pots, air fryer, pressure cooker.... everything is on a cart that mom keeps covered and pulls out just what she needs to cook with and they make everything outside bc the camper is small and gets hot so quick and the appliances take up so much space. It really helps to keep your counters cleared!!

[@amberpowers7509]

I started my homeschool journey last Nov with my 6th grader. I LOVE seeing little glimpses of yours❤

Rome wasn't built in a day. Families live in one room all around the world. You've got this! Great strides already!😀

[@naturalsimpleliving]

Aw, living in a small house takes time, for sure. We have been in a small house for more than a couple of years, and it does take time. We have 13/12 people in a home that's 1300 sqft plus an unfinished basement and a porch that's enclosed. I get it!! We also homeschool, and I make content out of my house. Love the backyard! I laughed when you said “kids just go outside, haha!” I could leave the bed unmade, but my kitchen needs to be clean, haha! I'm a minimalist, but I also live in a small house with many people, so I'm always decluttering and I love a clean kitchen! Glad you are feeling better; that's so great to hear! Sending love from Wisconsin!💕

[@sunrisedesign3267]

I’m 64 and Disabled so my mobility keeps me inside other than hospital or Doctors appointments. I would LOVE to be outside and have a train ride, that looks so much fun and so relaxing 🚂! I use to bake and cook all the time but I don’t get much opportunity to do so any more. I loved making persimmon cookies and loaves of bread. My grandparents came from Portugal and bought land in Central Valley California and built a traditional big white farmhouse with a screened in porch and that’s where they slept during the hot summers. The land was full of various fruits and vegetables 🥕. The main income came from the Olive 🫒 Trees, Almond Trees and Beautiful White 🍑 Peach Trees. Next door had fields of cotton that I loved picking and slowly worked into clothes for my Barbie dolls and eventually, 2 Fine Arts Degrees later became an Educator & Technician in Costume Design at the College I graduated from. I also began my Visual Design career as an Independent Contractor. The farm was where I also experimented with dying cotton with the natural materials all around me growing up. The 🍇 grape vineyards made one of my favorite colors. At the farthest back point of the far had a huge Oak Tree and there was a rope with an old tire tied on for hours of fun washing all the peach and almond fuzz off😅Boy that fuzz was painful during the blazing hot 🥵 summer. The farm was full of life lessons that I still miss today. Grandma canned so many foods and the root cellar was full of beets, potatoes 🥔, carrots 🥕 just to name a few. When I was younger I was scared of the dark root cellar, when I got older the various cousins locked grandpa in the root cellar and boy was he 😡 mad. They all had to go pick a switch from a tree and got some leg punishment. I’m still scared to think about it. We here in Central California are still going through a years long drought and it’s really hurt our farmers. One lake has dried up so much parts of the town below it are visible. The lake was there because of the Dam that was built. Maybe you could use this information as a lens into the life of immigrants from Portugal, who traveled across the country to enjoy freedom and prosperity while living on the farm they built. I can think of numerous Educational State Standards you can build lesson plans for your own children/students 📚📊📐🧮📍🖍️✏️🎭🎨🌷🌾💫🌈🌛🌳🐿️🐇🐖🐝🐢🐣🦆🐮🥧🥜🍯🥛🧀🍞🍠🍎🍊🍋🍉🍒🍇🍓🫐🍅Enjoy your Farm💖

That train is sweet! What a great and fun life you all have.

Another plus for having land is the kids learn to drive younger, which will be a big help there. My son was 12. I'm glad you're healing well, Sarah💛Peace has matured so much. Another bonus of siblings! 😊

So glad you are feeling better, and getting back to a daily routine. It's been a LONG time since I have had Mulberries, and I 100% believe Peace, when she said no she had not been eating them. She and all your kids are so sweet and fun to watch. Your dinner looked delicious, and love that the kiddos are helping you out in the kitchen. Any idea when you may be breaking ground for the new house? I cant wait to see it. Love your vlogs and thank you for sharing your family with all of us!

Love the intro when you asked Peace if she was eating mulberries that were on her face and she said no! I can't imagine that many people in a small house, you cope well!! Glad that you are recovering well, hope that the pain goes away! I like routines and expectations too! You are a mama of many children, you are allowed to lose your cool!

[@dianehess5241]

You want to be sure and dry out your eggshells before you give them to your chickens and ducks. If you don't, it will cause your chickens and your ducks to eat their own eggs. If they get the taste of raw eggs then they have a tendency to eat their eggs. But if the egg shells are dried out either in your ovens or like in the sun to where the egg is, shell is completely dry. Then they have a tendency not to eat their own eggs

[@goldtooth_6795]
