I Did NOT Want To Be A Homemaker

[@samanthalewis005]

I’ve been watching since you all lived in a tiny home with just little Ivy and Calvin. Ivy is so grown up. Amazing how the time goes. What a good helper!

[@MajikAce]

At the end you say to put your feet up. Girl my feet have been up the whole vid! 😂 My fourth baby is asleep while the others are at school and my house is clean so I took a shower and laid down on the couch to watch this and drink my reheated coffee. 😂😂😂 cheers! ☕️

[@ashleycoronado2801]

I’m 37 weeks pregnant with my third while taking care of my dying grandma in late stage dementia. I’m trying to find a balance between working hard and serving, and giving my body rest. Sometimes my body forces me to sit down and I hate it, but I’m trying so hard to give myself grace in this crazy season. I have to remember the God who created our universe took time to rest! It’s just hard to rest in this hustle culture we live in 😅I’m glad to see another mama take a step back when her body is tired.

[@RikkiSpanish]

* hugs * I'm so sorry about your grandma. Stay strong and be good to yourself! Take lots of breaks, drink lots of fluids, and don't be afraid to ask for help from others... especially when you need breaks or have to do any lifting. Even if you're just sitting next to your grandma, it can still be very taxing on your body because of all of the emotions and anxiety. Dementia/Alzheimer's is one of the most horrible things I can think of. I helped my dad care for my mother as she was dying from young-onset Alzheimer's. The end was a true test of faith for all of us. My husband was working overtime while I was at home caring for our 4 year old and my mom(we were getting ready to buy our own home, so we needed the money). We had just gone through a stillbirth right before my mom passed away, so my emotions and hormones were already a mess. I honestly don't know how I got through all of that without having a nervous breakdown. If I may give one more piece of unsolicited advice, if you're not doing so already, talk to your grandma. Talk to her about anything. Hold her hand. Pray with her. My mom was pretty much in a gentle sleep in her final hours(hospice gave us the good medicine to administer to her), but she would still smile when we talked to her or touched her. Familiar voices can be comforting.

[@joselynfulbright8128]

Can i just say i appreciate you talking so positively about having older kids. You don't hear that much. Its always, enjoy them when they're young/can't talk/walk etc.. you actually make me excited to see my baby grow and not dread it.

[@taylorwelleford8163]

Having older kiddos is the best!!! It takes lots of work and discipline in the younger years but if your diligent in your parenting older kiddos are a blessing and a joy!!

[@jadadallas5891]

My kiddo is 26 but I honestly preferred him after about 8 years old. Don't mistake me. I have deeply fond memories of his baby/toddler years. But I definitely prefer the more communicative ages. He was interesting and curious and had interest in topics I didn't. So talking with him broadened my own interests and knowledge. Even now at 26, he teaches me things and is just a really interesting person. Keeping the lines of communication seems to have been the most important basis of enjoying him into and through the teen years.

watching this on my period thank you for being inspiring and relatable at the same time

[@karlijnxxx1749]

Love this! I have been watching since you had a small house with not enough bedrooms ❤❤

[@theheardhomestead]

I soak my veggies from my garden or fruit from the store in baking soda and vinegar for 20-30min wash really good then they go in the fridge. Then wash again with water before consuming ❤

[@SafiyaUmIlyas]

This was just the perfect video I needed to close my day as a fellow menstruating mama 🤝😄I know in your time zone you are probably just about to start, but this was just so nice to get some things done before going to bed , plus getting a much needed reminder to give myself some grace and rest 🤍 Bless you Sarah, love your videos.

[@SarahThereseCo]

much love to you, hugs hugs friend 😘🧡

[@TheSimpleLifeRevival]

Love your videos ! Also love that you encourage us to rest when needed .

[@xxdiscodollxx]

oh my gosh Ivy has gotten so big! I remember when she was the only child and y'all were still in the little house, so cool to have watched your family grow over the years and see how everyone has evolved

[@PaigeHigginsVlogs]

So refreshing seeing a more chill day from you. I always think “how does she make every meal from scratch and homemade bread every day?” I mean you did make bread in this vid but, still appreciate seeing leftovers lol ❤

[@thenoblesnido]

“When you have little kids your in the trenches”. Ugh - as a mom to a four year old, two year old and one year old I feel so seen!! My husband and I constantly have to remind ourselves that we are on the same team because some days feel like warfare 😂 but so worth it!!!

[@Elrunya115]

I love seeing one of my favorite mommy vloggers so relatable. This is me at least a handful times a month. Hopefully you get a relaxing day, soon. ❤❤

[@markiebailey2091]

Loving the curly hair! I too am in a don’t feel like homemaking mood. This is the little escape 15 min break I need😅

[@amandadunbar9702]

I love watching videos like these. We are also getting over sickness in our house and it can be hard to show up as a homemaker/ mama when your not feeling your best. I always have to remind myself that my priorities are taking care of my family. Sometimes that means cuddling my daughter when she’s not feeling good and putting my to do list aside. I also love putting my feet up.

[@publiclyweird7469]

First trimester over here. I can barely get anything done with the fatigue and morning sickness. And this is my 3rd pregnancy but first pregnancy where I can’t stomach coffee at all. Definitely struggling to enjoy homemaking right now. 😅 I know it’s just a season but I feel so guilty!

[@florencejoy5209]

Love your channel. Now even more than before. You are relatable. Still goals everybody can aim for but with some grace.

[@theoriginaledi]

Feet up is real. I don't fully understand it either, but it's one of the absolutely most soothing things I can ever do for myself-nothing else even needed-if I'm tired or feeling unwell. 10/10, would recommend.

[@littlehouseontherock2904]

Love you girl

[@abbers9542]

I’m curious what ur laundry system is? I have 2 kids and don’t have an efficient system. You’ve helped me learn so much, thank you.

[@trinitytay333]

Hey; i've heard her say in numerous other videos "I do 1 load of laundry a day and that works for me". Hope that's helpful.

[@MyBeautifulChaos620]

@@trinitytay333this! I have 4 and you have to do some each day or else it piles up fast! I do bedding on the weekends unless otherwise needed

[@PaigeHigginsVlogs]

I’ve been trying it out and it’s so much nicer than a dedicated laundry day! Hope you love it too

THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤

[@aa-fw2pw]

Thank you for this video Sarah! I'm 32 weeks pregnant and also have a 4 year old and a 2 year old. And I have many days where I don't feel like homemaking!

[@taylarobinson9534]

Been a long time lover of your content and take a lot of inspiration from your homemaking in my own life! I was wondering if you had any other creators you also enjoy or take inspiration from? ❤

[@Mama22norm]

Would love to see you and Racheal in the kitchen together chit chatting ❤️

WORMS, in frozen fruit... I have so many creepy crawlies from that

At this time, is the right timing to watch and learn this.

[@TheMissKatie24]

I too am menstruating and am exhausted. My feet hurt so badly today that I had to leave work to come home and lay in bed. My daughter is almost twelve and very self sufficient. Thank-you for the reminder to slow down and for the video this week. ☺️🥰 P.S I really want to make sourdough bread but it is to confusing to me. 🤷🏻‍♀️🙈😅

[@Nancyssourdoughbakery]

Obsessed with your dress!! Did you buy or make? If made I’d love the pattern link!

[@MarianneMedlin-dz4dz]

It’s wild! everyone knows we should wash our fruit in vinegar water to clean it & get the bugs out, but it often feels like a quick rinse is enough. Yikes. I hope it was nothing serious

😂 coming out of exactly this feeling this week was hard as a woman 😅 kids were gracious with mama❤ forgot the butter in muffins broke 3 glasses just fog brain lol but we made it!

[@krist1203]

100% love your videos and respect what you’re showing. I just want the audience to realize she has 5 kids and her husband is the primary caretaker while she is filming this whole “by myself SAHM” video. Or she is just locking her children up somewhere because as a fellow SAHM I would love to know how she does all of this without the toddler/baby ever bothering her while trying to clean or cook 😂 Jealous? Possibly. Skeptical? Absolutely! 😅

[@jchoco453]

How did you and your family go about healing from the worm issue?

[@UnfrozenCavewoman]

She had posted on her Instagram about it. You take a dose of Combantrin (available at Walmart, Amazon, etc) and take another dose two weeks later. I have done this every six months or so for years. De-worming helps with energy, sleep, etc. (Disclaimer: This is not medical advice. Use at your own discretion.)

[@littleboyspiano4254]

Hi, love your videos, love your outfit, where did you get your sweater 🙂?

Do you ever run a full bread cycle in your machine? I feel like if I didn’t feel well, I would have the machine bake the bread too. Of course, you can’t make focaccia in that but …

I tried it and I didn’t like it. The shape was weird and it just wasn’t as good as handmade. 🙈

She said she is now soaking her fresh fruit and then she mentioned at the end you can also get worms from frozen fruit…but she didn’t specify that she got it from frozen fruit

[@CharisBombela]

Probably from buying organic I’m guessing

[@SarahThereseCo]

just a doc saying that you CAN get worms from frozen fruit because they can go into a dormant state after freezing and become alive again once in your system. i don’t know where we got worms from, but that’s one of the great options we could have gotten them from 😭🫠😁

I genuinely don’t understand women who are controlled by their cycles. Even as someone with pcos which causes severe hormone imbalances, I have never had a hard time managing myself through my cycle. I just live my life lol am bleed sometimes there really isn’t much too it. Idk why it affects ppl so much

[@kitty19254]

Your answer is in your statement: "I've never had a hard time managing..." Some women have very difficult symptoms that you apparently don't experience (e.g. for myself, extreme fatigue, joint pain and persistent vomiting). If you're on the internet you should be old enough to know that your experience doesn't define all possible experiences....

[@RCGWho]

Yes. Just take a nap when the kids nap or go to bed when they go to bed. Avoid caffeine.

[@kitty19254]

@@RCGWho What? Do you think that solves severe menstrual symptoms?

[@RCGWho]

@kitty19254 It cannot hurt. She doesn't appear to be having persistent vomiting. At 11:00 she talked about day 1,2, and 3 of her period. She gave no dramatic symptoms. I'm assuming she means cramping and tired.

I had them about a decade ago, pretty sure they came from an organic farmer's market stand sample. I now never eat unwashed fruit or vegetables. Umm... In plain terms: your butthole gets super itchy, especially at night, and when you scratch it, you might get lucky and find a tiny white worm on your finger. Fun times. Oh and also: inspect your poop from time to time!
