Homemaking Thru Pain | ditl as a mom of 5

[@svamerikanen]

Your comment about period pain reminded me that my cramps lessened a ton once I realized caffeine made them much worse. Now the first couple days of my cycle, I don't drink coffee, and it's helped me avoid the worst of it. Just wanted to share in case someone out there finds it helpful! Thanks for sharing your journey with us.

[@emilyslittlebooknook-8043]

Extra note chocolate has caffeine small amounts but yea

[@ralucamnt]

Similar for me. I quit drinking coffee and this was unexpected, no more pains. 🎉🎉🎉

[@estili4139]

Its the same for me!!!! 😮

[@estili4139]

But i don‘t drink coffee at all since some time..only decaf Reduced headaches and period pain

[@amberbamber001]

Your moment of “I just feel off and someone just peed their pants…SIGH…I guess laundry has to wait…” was something I felt so down deep in my soul. Thank you for showing that because those are the moments in motherhood that I end up feeling so guilty about

[@pattimaclaughlin8059]

Sarah, I am much older than you but you continue to guide me in many things. The way you talk about your pain moments and still get up every day and take care of the needs of your family! You are a warrior!!! Be very proud of the person/woman you are-keep up the great videos!!!

[@Vic187]

As a 28-year-old mother to 3 that was recently diagnosed with a chronic illness I appriciate that you shared that with us. I feel like there's not a lot of women in this space that discuss chronic illness. Thank you for letting me be feel seen❤

[@erintinagero6819]

As a mom who suffers from migraines, I can relate, Sarah. Struggling with debilitating pain is never easy. Listening to your body when it tells you to take a break and rest is one of the most important things you can do for your self. Thank you so much about putting our a video about self care like this. So many of us struggle with issues like these, and you gave a voice to it. Hoping you feel better soon.

[@sarahkriel9975]

My husband is an acupuncturist and has had some parients with chronic vertigo. Not sure if you have ever tried this, but it could help ❤ Your children are so blessed to have a happy present momma and homemaker through your suffering. May the Lord bless you and keep you through all your days 🙏

[@grettabosch178]

This came at a great time. Mine right now is mothering during grief and loss of a loved one. Thank you for being open!!

[@AmeliaUnleashed]

This time last year I was grieving the loss of my mother while anticipating the arrival of baby #2. Grief is so personal & intrusive on life but so natural and necessary. I pray you find the comfort & connection you need this season. ❤️

[@erinmcgarry9705]

I have a toddler running around and I’m pregnant with my second, and I’m going THROUGH it. This video could not have come at a better time. Thank you for sharing!

[@heather6404]

Same here! I don't know how I'm going to manage 2 ❤

[@samanthaa6566]

What a sweet blessing your cozy candle-lit family dinners are! I’m so looking forward to those precious moments, I’m 9 weeks pregnant with my first! 🤍

[@SF-zf1ik]

I'm also named Samantha and have a 19 month old and a 6 month old so far!

[@cynthiawhitcomb1780]

I love the idea of grave, hope, and joy. Wise advice.

[@hopecallisteranderson8833]

This video is exactly what I needed to hear this week while dealing with extreme joint pain from pregnancy! Thank you!!

[@stephanietiggemann5921]

Sarah, I highly recommend the Epley Maneuver for your vertigo. I also suffer from vertigo on occasion and discovering this movement has been a lifesaver. Kieran can help you do it at home on the couch or bed. Hope this helps!

[@YogaNurture]

Oh girl, I feel you! I struggle with vestibular trouble ever since what I call "The Great Sneeze of 2020". I sneezed, got vertigo, the rest is history. The Osteopath and a very particular adjustment of the atlas have put me back in balance. And my problems escalates around ovulation, too! Our bodies are fearfully and wonderfully made. It's all so intricately intertwined. Hope you have a wonderful, balanced day today.

[@andreasheehan16]

I have experienced a lot of vertigo due to my chronic neck misalignment. It’s not as bad now but it used to make life so hard. It’s so debilitating. Solidarity ❤

[@joelibbylawrence8309]

Sarah you are so inspiring! As someone who is watching your video in pain and dealing with vertigo I am stunned by what you can accomplish all while caring for five kids. Thank you for sharing!!

[@doratuininga4121]

my friend went to a physiotherapist for vertigo

[@11BeanJelly]

Love your background music, love your hair, love your personality, love your videos ❤

[@sunkissedblissphotography4844]

There are exercises you can do that can reset the little calcium ball in your in your ear, which is what causes vertigo. You can also go to physiotherapy if it gets worse.

[@emilybrown599]

Praying for you, Sarah! This sounds like such a challenging season ❤

[@ElizabethAnn97]

I suffer from back and hip pain, l3-s1 herniation. Chronic migraines, I'm anemic, and I'm pre-diabetic. I'm working on diet and walking more to lose weight and that'll help me with most of my problems. I have 4 children and a wonderful husband that helps a lot. I've lost 30lbs in 4 months, we all deserve more than what these illnesses allow. My kids deserve more from me, and I want so bad to give a fun and active life to them.

[@FancieRay]

I'm so sorry you're going through all that.😢

[@ElizabethAnn97]

@FancieRay i appreciate that, i am just trying to be stronger because that's what we and our families deserve ❤️

[@ashleyjones6888]

This is very relatable. I struggle with anemia and chronic pain. I really need to lose weight and I don't know where to start because I have tried so many diets over the last several years. That's amazing that you have lost thirty pounds, what a great start!

[@sitabird]

Do you know the Epley maneuver? It really works and you can do it yourself or have your husband do it for you. Dehydration can be a cause. Make sure you are getting electrolytes. The running may be increasing sweating which may be making you more dehydrated.

[@phillyjam2018]

Thank you so much for speaking about vertigo! I already found you and I very similar and now this health issue also makes us twinsies!!! I had the worst vertigo of my life just a few months back when I was in the beginning of my second tri and omg mothering was the toughest it's ever been during that phase. It lasted like a month. Praying you feel better soon. I would never wish vertigo on anyone to the extent I had it a few months back

[@brikat342]

I’m literally curling up on the couch with a tummy ache because I ate foods that haven’t eaten for six months due to having emergency intestinal surgery. Poppy seeds, berries with seeds, and nuts in salad. Regret. But made sure my boy got his dinner and cuddles ❤

[@rsartore12]

Sarah, there are some mugs out there that come with a little charging pad. Maybe you could get one for the kitchen and your coffee would stay warm, without having to use the microwave.

[@Dr.Nellah]

Grace, hope, joy 🙌🏾

[@HopePhotoG]

Love when mamas talk about health issues. I have 4 and 2 year old and it can be so hard doing it alone. We have no family in town and both my husband and I have health issues. I have fibromyalgia mcs cfs ddd osteoarthritis scoliosis and other ailments along with those things and some days... I just want to rest. 😅😭 my oldest is also autistic/adhd and younger might be. I get the migraines with the cycles too. 😢my husband gets chronic migraines

[@Denizzmbm3]

I have had vertigo like that all my life as well! Epley maneuver is the way to go, though it might suck while you do it lol. In the US physical therapists are qualified to help you with it as well (don’t know about Canada)! Hope that helps.

[@SelenafanDemiMiley]

I've been experiencing a lot of pain at the start of the period. But once I started doing upa yoga (isha) it's been gone ever since. It's on youtube, you can search, simple practice

[@pastorgg1]

Since I was diagnosed with MS I have been getting vertigo. I feel for you soooo much. Once I had it for 3 months straight. Gross.

[@psyche8187]

NUCCA chiropractic has helped my mom’s chronic vertigo SO much. We’ve tried everything.

[@amberklein1560]

❤my Minestrone Recipe for your family Minestrone Brown: 1 to 2 pounds breakfast sausage 2 Tbsp oil Note: If using sausage links, cut into bite sized pieces with scissors before browning. I like Jimmy Dean sausage when I don't have links. Both taste equally good. Add: 1 onion, diced 4 celery stalks, diced Sauté until unions are translucent. Add: 4 garlic cloves, minced 2 teaspoons dry Italian seasoning, NOT powdered 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes Sauté for 2 minutes. Purée: 2 lb of grape tomatoes Then add to soup. Note: I like the grape tomatoes from Costco. Any tomato will do, but grape tomatoes provide the best flavor. Stir in: 6 to 8 cups water (approx) 1 Tbsp salt 15 oz white beans, drained 15 oz can garbanzo beans, drain 3 cups cabbage, diced 1 chicken breast Bring to a boil. Cover. Reduce heat, and simmer 45 min. Add: 1 to 2 bunches Bunch Swiss chard, diced Note: Mince or discard the stems. Simmer 20 minutes. While simmering, remove chicken & cut into bite sized pieces. Just before serving, return chicken to the soup. Note: If you like a meaty soup, up to four chicken breast halves can be used. Drumstick also work well, but make sure to find and remove all the bones before serving. Serving options: 1. Plain 2. Over 1 pound pasta -macaroni -rotini -penne -mostaccioli 3. Over rice Note: Cook pasta or rice in a separate pan according to package directions. Do NOT mix pasta or rice into soup when storing leftovers, or freezing. The pasta or rice will swell and turn to mush. Serve pasta or rice into soup bowl, then ladle soup over it. 4. Top with Parmesan. 5. Top with croutons 6. With bread sticks, garlic bread, or buns. Note: Ladle cooled soup into sandwich sized baggies, and freeze for individual servings. Make fresh pasta, or rice, if desired. Freezing a gallon sized bag of soup works well for a quick family meal too. - You can adjust the red pepper flakes to adjust the heat. ~I hope you like it. I ❤LOVE ❤ YOUR VIDEOS.

[@KasiaG-w8b]

But it looks like you’re doing the right thing here. Using either glass or cast iron to cook in, organic produce, gluten free items, proper supplements, grass fed grass finished meat, no bleach parchment paper no aluminum baking dishes…. It all matters especially when it comes to our health! I’m doing Ewa same thing this is why I believe I’m healthy 45 yo woman with no health problems praise God…..

[@theheardhomestead]

Sarah what are the instructions on dehydration for blueberries in the oven? What temp and time do you do?

[@cathleencoryell2180]

This is just what I needed. Painful week. My wisdom teeth are doing a number on me.

[@annawindisch8416]

Hi Sarah Therese! I've been enjoying your videos a lot - thanks!! About the vertigo, you could try to get checked for "benign paroxysmal positional vertigo". My brother is a neurologist and he has helped many people suffering from this type of vertigo with just a few sessions of very simple techniques. All the best to you and your family!

[@amycorley1658]

Would love to know what your house shoes are, they look so comfortable.

[@bettyshrew8939]

I deal a lot with vertigo! Recently started seeing a doctor that practices osteopathic manipulation and it has helped SO much

[@KasiaG-w8b]

Vertigo is one of the side effects of the hpv vaccine. Two of my previously healthy girlfriends have developed it right after getting inject3d with this particular jab. It never left them unfortunately. Serious detox might help with a help of a good naturopath that knows what they do.

[@cindytuttle680]

I have Meiners Disease so I have daily vertigo. It varies in severity daily. I feel you.

[@Steamrolleronstorm]

Sarah, I have chronic pain and can relate. Sending you lots of healing thoughts. Feel better Mama. Unrelated, where do you buy your wall calendar? I’ve searched for it high and low and cannot find it. Could you pls share the brand name or a link?

[@monicakay96]

A friend had debilitating vertigo for a whole year. He saw some sort of physical therapist who had him do a bunch of eye exercises and special glasses and now he no longer suffers and is a nurse! Just something to look into with a doctor.

[@singerjo5791]

Look up the Epply maneuver. It helped me when I had vertigo.

[@cassandraedwards3715]

“60 local eggs that’ll last us maybe a week” I feel this, we go through a dozen everyday as a family of four rn and my youngest isn’t even eating a whole egg yet 😅😅😂 84 eggs a week later 😅😅😅 looking forward to getting chickens someday

[@manuelapigna1801]

Me too I had often vertigo when I was younger and it was when I had very very low tension and very low iron. When I started to have a normal tension and improved my iron, vertigo disappeared. Me too I suffer much worse during ovulation than the period time! Do you know sometimes when I see Kiran appear briefly I miss hearing him speak. 😂 You were so funny together. 😊

[@LivingLaVidaAshley]

Founding fathers and space buns 😂

[@doravalencia2214]

Migraine. Sucks with a little one. Mine are triggered by gluten and dehydration.. my husband and stepson have celiac so they have mostly disappeared

[@iammellbell]

I also have had vertigo and motion sickness since I was a child - caused by a condition called Meniere's Disease (it's a middle ear condition) I think it has some relation to me being very small and having small ear canals - I know you're also very small so I thought this might help :)

[@wendymalatios8907]

I’ve never seen the stretch and throw folding method before 😂

[@ΜαρίαΛ-β8ν]

Can you please make a video about your vertigo and the ways you deal with it, some tips..I suffer from vertigo years but nothing seems to help..😢

[@dominantman1780]

Keep doing that nice work

[@AnaS-fy5iu]

How you stay so fit? I love your channel

[@Catholicsquirrel]

Hey Sarah! Nuts have *a lot* of anti-nutrients that you’re consuming in pretty significant quantity as a dairy replacement. This is probably really negatively affecting your health, and I imagine some your health symptoms are stemming from it.

[@KasiaG-w8b]

It’s just tough to see how many women are suffering from all sorts of health problems in both US and Canada. It’s heartbreaking.

[@TRuth.T]

RFK. Make America Healthy Again 😊

[@Ahomemakershonor]

She said nauseous burps and I was thinking "pregnant?" No😢 poor sarah, this sucks

[@shelbys2750]

I got so much vertigo as a child. I went to the nurse at school so much that she stopped believeing me. I still get it here and there. Im not totally sure but I suspect it had a lot to do with having a dog in the house as we later found out I was allergic.

[@sarathompson587]

It feels criminal to be this early 😂

[@jennyann1126]

Check your histamine levels! Might be high. Dr Ben Lynch has great information.

[@staciemurray514]

I thought you said you had to shave your bagels (not shape them)😂

[@ShalomKiana]

You chose founding fathers lol

[@AnnaBeveridge]

Sounds terribly like early pregnancy, 😊

[@heathergrant2780]

My vertigo is triggered by gluten. Maybe food is a trigger for you too?

[@sim6303]

I have a really random question out of curiosity: I know you and your family are Christians so I was wondering how you teach them history? do you explain the big bang or that god created earth? as I said, it's out of curiosity and I'm not trying to sound like I'm judging! :)

[@krist1203]

The constant same jazz music is just too much 😩 sorry just an opinion!

[@shellycuccias5777]

I don’t have time to read through the comments or watch the entire video (also mom of many), but have you tried the Epley maneuver for vertigo? A quick Google search will give you all the instructions you need, and it’s very easy. I just fixed my friends vertigo using that the other day. Also, hydration is huge for vertigo. You may have known all of this already, but sharing just in case!

[@theheardhomestead]

When I get vertigo around my cycle I have to take Meclizine for 2 days before. Ovulation it’s every man for themselves 💀🫡 mine is veeeeery painful
