I love how y’all giggle together. Your children will be so prepared to be adults. When Sarah said thank you God for the abundance, my Momma heart melted.

[@crystalwilson161]

Sarah is a beautiful young lady and brilliant beyond her years

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

Yeah, my heart melted too! I wasn't outside with them when they were filming the pear harvest, so I didn't hear any of that until I watched the video. It made me happy!! :)

[@lyndaabrahamson3244]

Oh my goodness! Andrew is such an intelligent young man. Who would have thought to use a drill like that. Sarah and Andrew (as well as the other kids) did a wonderful job holding down the fort while Shawn was in the hospital. I would love to watch any kind of video you all choose to make. They are always a joy. God Bless.

I loved watching all these snippets!!!! The kids on the trampoline were adorable . Sarah is an amazing young lady. I love your family, Keep on making beautiful videos for us to watch. I love the wholesomeness of you all!!

[@buckeyedav1]

I like when Sara thanks God for his blessings of the pears smart young lady to praise God for his blessings. And Rebecca you are raising her so right to share with her sisters without even being told to do so, such a sweet baby. I enjoyed this video. And I think to your video about the Wish List and people criticizing you for having so many children and it makes me sad that they think that way, you have a beautiful family and are doing what God intended you to do. Blessings. Anna In Ohio

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

Yay!!! So glad you like them! :)

[@leecopeland2061]

I LOVE the family snippets video! I was just saying after your last video I'd like to see the boys talk more about some things they were doing. So enjoyed hearing Andrew tell about the ice cream maker breaking and how he fixed it with a huge rubber band! Your kids are brilliant! 👍 Sara's muffins are gonna be delicious. She seemed real tired...probably from making all that pear jam! Lol! It was fun watching the kids play and the family doing chores. Please more videos like this!❣️ 👍❣️👍❣️

[@Jport3]

You have such a beautiful family, Shawn and Janice! They are such a pleasure to watch❤. It does my heart good to see them being raised with such a good work ethic and that they know who our Heavenly Father is and to go to Him in ALL things!! I love all your videos! You're a natural KZbinr Miss Janice!! Praying God's protection and blessings over you all. Love and hugs 💞🙏🏼💞

[@judyjenna-pilot553]

ABSOLUTELY, I TOTALLY AGREE THAT THEY ARE TRULY A GREAT EXAMPLE FOR ALL TO FOLLOW. THIS FAMILY IS A BLESSING AND I JUST LOVE THEM ❤️🙏🏻❤️

[@deborahhanes8471]

Loved the video snippets! I love your family and the closeness you share! The children are getting an education through home schooling, but through hands-on experiences on the homestead as well. The use of a drill to power the ice cream freezer was amazing. I love to see everyone's smiling faces and hear them laugh. Tell Sara I know her muffins were delicious as well as her pear jam. Until next time, Love from North Carolina❤️❤️❤️

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

Thank you for such an encouraging comment, Deborah! I'll let Sarah know! :)

[@mg5111]

Just love seeing these snippets. Team doing this every week!!

[@regenaguinn]

Enjoyed this! It is so nice to have a wholesome option to watch.

[@lowespringacres7838]

That ice cream drill set up looks like something my son would have done while we were home schooling (he's 38 now). I'm actually waiting waiting for him to get here now. I haven't seen him in 2.5 years nor met his 4 foster children. 😊 My hubby also loves biscuits and gravy for supper.

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

Oh wow, I hope you're having an AMAZING time right now catching up with your son! :)

[@sylviagarrison6606]

Yes, please keep filming the snippets, after all that's what people with families do, catch their families making memories, and you know we love your family, so yes keep on keeping on, when l watch you guys it makes me wish my family was raised on a farm, Thank you for sharing, God Bless you all!

[@StoryGirl1128]

Loved the snippet format! So fun to see some of the daily life on the farm.

[@gwenkersten3760]

All the care and keeping of the property and family is a big responsibility...not only do y'all do it so well, but you have so much fun doing it! Enjoyed the snippets of your daily lives. Thank you for sharing!

[@lisalee8383]

Love this ❤ beautiful family ❤

[@judyjenna-pilot553]

Janice you should do this with some older videos of the kids like when Rebecca was a newborn and the others were toddlers and just younger I think people would really enjoy to see your yesterday's. Every now and then. I would love it. ❤️ 🙏🏻❤️

[@katischmidt5334]

You have a beautiful family ♥️

[@stitchengramie]

When I was a child, my aunt and uncle had a pear tree, and I loved picking the pears off of the tree and eat them.

[@user-xw6yw3ln7w]

I really like the snipits it was fun to get a look watching the children both work and play. I would look forward to more of these videos. I also like the cooking videos. I am also looking forward to seeing the summer kitchen when it is finished. Have a good rest of you summer. Ours in MS is so hot we aren't getting out go from the aircondition house to the car and into a store if absolutely necessary Even the fish are headed to deep cooler water and not biting at all. Amy from Mississippi.

I loved this video! It's fun to see little pieces of what you & your sweet family do on just a regular day. I have to admit, the trampoline/water play looked like so much fun❣️

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

The water sprayer on the trampoline was a gift from a viewer and it's been a big hit, especially with the younger children! :)

[@dellawinskie4364]

All I can say, ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ God bless all of you

[@stitchengramie]

What a brilliant idea Andrew using the drill for turning the ice cream drum to make ice cream.

[@barbaramarkham4736]

Shawn and Janice, I absolutely love this video. You are the best parents ever. It so reminds me of raising my four children ( mostly on my own ). Your children are delightful. So beautiful, polite and adorable. Bless each and every one of you. Thank you from B. C. Canada 🇨🇦 Love to all of you.

[@jaymiedeville2808]

My grandparents had two pear trees in their backyard. I remember picking them as a child with them. Precious memories I have. ❤

[@blessedtrimability9626]

I love the snippets. Everyone is so encouraging to each other! Thanks for sharing your stories.

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

You are so, so welcome! :) I enjoyed putting together this video!

[@michellemiller1027]

You have a great family. The children all look out for one another and seem very well mannered. Janice, you and Shawn are doing a great job raising them. They are making memories and learning skills that will last them a lifetime. It reminds me of when I was growing up in a large family of 7 children. 3 girls and 4 boys. Thank you for sharing your time with us. God bless!!!

[@ritaslade2989]

I love the snippets so so fun I hope you do more God Bless You all😊

[@lisasharinglifestorieswith4182]

See it's wonderful I suggested to Janice make a video like this once a week everybody loves the sea snippets of the different people on the family of the little girls hair and and the fruit in this and that it's just wonderful it's a great video and maybe hear kids could help her with it to they could take some video throughout the week of doing chores and stuff this family is awesome good people God bless you all

[@readytogo3186]

The "snippets" are a wonderful idea. I have the attention span of a gnat, so this is right up my alley!! You have done a wonderful job raising your children, teaching them all about how to care for a homestead. Most children would have no idea on how to make pear butter. They are all so talented. That drill for the ice cream maker was a wonderful idea! So innovative. And all so pretty/handsome! You and your husband are doing a terrific job raising those babies. Ephesians 6:4 (NIV) says "bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord." I believe you are doing just that! God bless your whole family! Have a beautiful day!

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a super-kind comment! You've made me smile! :)

I loved this, in the moment video. Living life day to day. We saw the pears go from the tree to the jars. So you cant say it didn't have meaning, because there was a underlined story there. God bless, and have an awesome weekend.

I didn't even think about them actually telling a story! That worked out well then! :)

[@CheapsKate77]

I loved this hodgepodge video! It’s awesome for you to have these memories too so when all the kids are older and married, they can show their kids how they spent their childhood ❤
