BRI, your suncooked sweet potatoes are an indicator of how very busy you are with your many kiddos, homeschooling you tubing fractured marriage gardening ,harvesting,preserving and all that life throws at you. Everything happens for a reason. You Ms BRI Are doing a GREAT job. All your babies are healthy, thriving well and beautiful. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ for God to continue renewing your strength. Take one day at a time, beautiful lady. God is with you 🙏

To all the young parents out there ...READ to your children everyday...make a bedtime routine let them pick the book and give them 30 minutes of your time reading to them. I was never a strong reader growing up but I developed a love for reading at 25. Both my boys were 3 levels about grade in reading because I would read to them every night at bedtime. It truly is a gift you can give to them and if you are not a strong reader they won't care...❤

[@evalinawarne1337]

I read to my daughter's right after breakfast and night bed time. They too loved it and learned so much. My first daughter was reading Golden Books at 2 1/2. We lived across the street from a farm. Her favorite was horse. watching. Each morning we ate breakfast and Reading together with the horses. That was 45 years ago. Seems like yesterday. She's 47. I'm so GREATFUL THANKFUL FOR OUR TIME READING and HOME SCHOOLING. And that you Momma reads to your children. It's the BEST. We travel the WORLD together. GOD BLESS You and your family.🛐🌹🥀✝️☕☕🌟✨👍👏✝️💟❤️💖

Oh my gosh!! Royal asking for a bath and then saying no… he didn’t want to do the next thing was so precious! 😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@marybk882]

Hard lesson to learn, but how you figure out how to lessen the loss will be a great teaching moment for your kids. You're doing a great job Bri, don't be too hard on yourself.

[@HoneyBear13]

We lost all of our sweet potatoes this year and we had some really large ones. The silly moles took bites out of all of them. They ate the middles out, so there was no way to salvage them. It's frustrating because they didn't eat even one full potato. They just sampled all of them. My husband has declared war on them for next year. 😅😂

[@madzabinga8382]

These are the best kinds of videos. I really enjoy when you are in front of the camera, Bri. Learning from you and watching you do all the things.

[@Maggieroselee]

Hard part of gardening is learning what works in a new place. Bummer about the sweet potatoes ❤😢❤

[@janicew6222]

Bless your heart. I once lost a bunch from an unexpected hard freeze when I forgot they were out on the drying racks, lost all of them. We learn from experience. You do an amazing job.

Bri, Sad for your sweet potatoes, but I know it will be okay. There is always next year. The chopping for dinner was a visually awesome. You and your family are treasures. Thanks for sharing your journey.

[@ghents565]

I am glad that you teach science and history. Here where we live many home school groups took out science and history. Its very sad. Her hair will grow momma. So happy for your family. We home schooled also. Part of the time. Just make sure you give them the important stuff. Give yourself grace. You have a lot going on.

[@berylsly]

Good morning BRI , Many times I have been told by my husband to look at what you have done not what you did not get done. I understand your frustration but the lessons your family are receiving are beyond measure. This I know BRI as I can’t do what I used to do because of health and it’s hard. We are storming heaven with prayers for you all. God bless and remember energy runs out. 🙏🕊💐🍠🍠🍠🍠

[@virginiadodgen2787]

Bri, I grew and harvested my potatoes recently. I placed them on the corner of my porch on newspaper for approximately two weeks to cure. They got afternoon sun. Worked great. I have large porch like you. Might give the last harvest a try on porch to cure.

[@midsouthhomestead7527]

Thanks for your tip. I have some late ones.

Baby horses are called foals. If it is a girl foal, it is a filly. If it is a boy foal, it is a colt.

[@kimclayton7728]

Bri with each video I watch I’m always impressed by the amazing women and mother you are. And thank you for sharing the soccer game and play time. My children are in their 20’s and I deeply miss that. Watching children play was always a joy to me. ❤

[@judyherman1249]

Don't be hard on yourself. We all live and learn. Look at it this way, you didn't fail, you got taught a lesson. God bless.

[@sherryharding5792]

Bri you're doing a great job with your kids with homeschooling and all. How you take on all the housework and minding all the children is fantastic. Don 't be too hard on yourself about the harvest. Its just a learning process in your new environment, i'm sure you will know what to do better in future. Hope you'll show us what you did with the bountiful sweet potatoes; good and bad 😊 take care & God bless,you and your beautiful family❤

How devastating 😢 I'm sorry you lost so much food. Don't be too hard on yourself. Remember what your little ones chanted for you, "Mommy is the best!"

[@VelvetyMoon]

Sooo sweet!!! ❤

[@OrganicMommaGA]

Sweet potatoes do need it to be quite warm to cure properly, but perhaps the black plastic is the issue? I have always cured our sweet potatoes on cardboard, turning them every day or every other day to prevent mold. Maybe with the sides up in the greenhouse and cardboard down, it will work better in the future? Definitely a tough lesson, but the kids will have learned, too. Also, I noticed when one of the babies (I think it was Royal) pointed to the baby horse, you said that was a colt. A colt is actually an immature male horse, and a filly is an immature female horse. A foal is an immature horse, regardless of gender. I know lots of folks may not know the difference, but since I grew up with horses, I thought I would share that nugget.

[@missmartpants2269]

I always have some harvest go to waste. I am still learning to preserve what I grow. Its definitely the hardest part of gardening for me. Enjoying the harvest is the easiest😊. So do not be too hard on yourself. God bless!

[@minahammonds7511]

You save what you can ,be thankful for that, learn from your mistake and move on. Thanks for sharing

[@tamramuse5136]

I grew sweet potatoes this year for first time ever. I also cured mine in my greenhouse. I places mine on cattle panels so air would circulate all around. I left them out there a couple weeks and just recently moved them to my basement. I am hoping that they store well 🤞

[@NcScbeach1]

Don’t feel too bad about the loss of veggies. You still have a nice amount, and you’re teaching the kids valuable lessons

[@VelvetyMoon]

So true!

[@melanierichardson2304]

Oh my goodness the twins are really looking like Art at the minute! Especially around the eyes ❤

[@bonniebrown6960]

Oh my...I'm sorry about your sweet potatoes. You know, I remember my Grandparent's putting them in the basement. I guess to keep them cool and in the dark. At least you were able to save some of them. Don't worry. You all are doing a great job. I'm new to your channel. I love watching how you all come together to help.🥰🥰🥰

[@fields-n-feathers]

Oh, honey, I'm so sorry. I'm just now watching but I'm also giving you a warm hug. 🧡 The enemy is seething at the progress your family's experiencing and he's definitely not above sucker punches. Remember, in the end, JESUS, destroys him with a Word. That same Jesus is holding your hands, right now. Rest in His peace and love. I love you.🙏🏼🧡

[@malina1239]

You really think satan ruined her sweet potatoe harvest, because her family is happy and back together? I’m so sorry you have such a warped belief system, that must be so hard😢 I Hope you one day learn to know that sad things just happen for no reason, no one is out to get us. Gods love is endless, nonjudgmental and for everyone. Evil is not out to get us, evil is the things we choose to do ,even though we know in our hearts, it’s wrong and that’s when we have to take the consequences of our actions. God does not want us to live in fear , so he would not let anything punish us for our happiness.

[@madzabinga8382]

​@@malina1239Amen!

[@9207dl]

@@malina1239 I agree. As a Christian I hesitate to give credit to the evil one or say the name at all. Especially when I fall short and only have myself to blame. Bri took responsibility for the harvest gone bad... end of story. God does not desire for us to live in fear and look for the "enemy" everywhere or anytime life gets messy. That is not what Jesus taught His followers. When we struggle in this life we have the Holy Spirit to guide us and teach us wisdom and truth about ourselves so we grow Spiritually. Talking to or rebuking the devil based on our own opinions or feelings could lead to an over-emphasis which leads us astray. Some Church leaders base their whole ministry on waging war and casting out demons instead of the sin in ourselves. God's love is unconditional and sure. His mercies are new every morning.

[@paulamcdowell2578]

@@malina1239what I really think is that you are the one who needs our prayers, the devil has a tight grip on your soul to be so mean and hateful. Go find someone to follow that deserves your kind of insight. In the meantime, until you’re able to open your eyes and heart we will pray for you. The Lords got Bri and her family, he has shown his grace on them more times than can be counted and he will continue.

[@jeb3415]

It amazes me how many Christians are in denial of satan’s handiwork. Bad luck, misfortune, sad things call it anything else but what it is. Then you can take credit for good luck, fortune and happy things? Why do we pray in church for our farmers? That God bless their crops? Satan delights in destruction and in the separation of families- God holds marriage as a scared bond between a man and a woman. Everything created by God is satan’s target. If more people took this to heart and began to call out the enemy humankind might not be in the peril we are right now.

Bri, I saw this woman that had a lot of children and she cooks the eggs in a cookie pan with a high side/edge. She would spray with pam or rub the bottom with butter. Pop it in the oven and tada a tray of eggs!!!

Air circulation is important. Benches in the greenhouse with wire tops and set them on there will work well for growing your seedlings on also. But was a good plan just little shade and circulation. You got this❤️😊

Ahh that’s so frustrating! A little speed bump though and like you said a lesson.

[@melindaivey4772]

As hot as it was when you did them they cooked on the black plastic. It's going to be a huge job. It's hard to get everything right. One thing about sweet potatoes is that they need to be in a warm, dark place to cure. Then they can be put in a cool dark place and used throughout the winter. I'm sorry that you are going to have to process so many of them to save them. Blessings to you

[@carmandobbs2450]

You might need to make drying tables to put in the green house that is up off the ground so the air can circulate. I'm so sorry for your harvest I know it's disheartening. Hopefully you can salvage some of the harvest. God bless you and your family.

Moles destroyed some of my new landscaping & trailed all over my yard! I had a pro come...he put 12 traps at the dirt hill, it was all done by ONE mole! Unbelievable! Now i know to put a trap wherever they pop out.

[@onedazinn998]

Wonderful editing Bri - keeping it all real and fun with the kids such hard but rewarding work. Hope the processing of the sweet potatoes turns out well...keep us in the loop in the processing it will make for a great teaching video. I think it will be fine with a less than normal boil, mash and freeze dry for sweet potato instant potatoes for long term storage even. :) I love my freeze dryer and it saved many of my fruits and veg for me this year...from just meh to fantastic snacks & pantry food. You are so wonderful with the kids Bri - you've taught them so well! God bless your harvest.

Ahhhh, that's so heartbreaking! When you grow beautiful food, and make a mistake that spoils it. But Bri, you did the best you could with what you knew.

[@pennybyington3638]

Bri when I homeschooled we had a lot of fun with what we called Core classes. Each child picked a theme. And everything they did pertained to that. Ie... one son picked wolves so his math science English history everything was about wolves for 6 weeks

Bri , that was so adorable when you said no bath to Royal. He looked so sad .

[@StoneKathryn]

So sorry the sweet potatoes got cooked in the little greenhouse. It happens. I make mistakes too and it hurts. I just lost 3 females ducks that were just about to lay and my Thanksgiving turkey by forgetting to go out and lock the door last night! Ouch. The drake survived and most of my Spring chickens. At least I didn't lose all my birds but I just kick myself that I didn't lock them in last night. Coyotes must have come and gotten them. The drake looks totally unhappy. The Spring chickens are hiding in the brush. All my baby birds in brooders are fine. I have another 8 ducks and 38 meat chicks and 9 layer chicks in my brooders so they are okay. It happens! Hang in there Bri!

[@CkHolly-hz2vv]

So sorry, that is very sad. One year I had the thought, "That chicken coop door seems really flimsy. I had better fix that tomorrow." Well sure enough the fox got in that night and killed every single bird. Hard lesson learned.

Moles eat worms and larva underground. And voles eat plants and roots that are underground.

Probably would be a good idea to dig up three or four plants at a time, and take the potatoes to the garage or somewhere shady and cool right away. I admire your efforts to feed your family healthy, home grown foods. I know from experience, how hard you work and how tiring it is.

Bri.... Oh how i feel you on this one. We had a huge amazing harvest of red potatoes a few years ago. My first ever successful potato year and it was an incredible haul and i was GIDDY! We put them out in spare room in dark on tarps to cure and then the door got left open and the cat got in and assumed the "dirt" smell must have meant LITTER BOX 🥺😭😐and he peed on our potatoes thus turning that into our "year of the PISStato incident" ... ugh. and onward we trudge Jehovah Jirah still providing despite our failures. Blessings to you all 💕

[@zaviahopethomas-woundedsou9848]

If you bake the sweet potatoes whole then they make a mashed sweet potato really easily with less work. My favorite Thanksgiving side dish is mashed sweet potato. I use 3/4 sweet potatoes and 1/4 peaches and mash them well adding a tablespoon or two of brown sugar. I spread it in a baking dish and toss a small amount of marshmallows on top, less than a cup for a 9x13 baking dish. I bake it for about 30 minutes at 350.

[@melindaivey4772]

[@lindamickel8545]

Bri, I don’t know but what if they were curing on racks/pallets with the air circulation then maybe they won’t cook. You’ve done a great job.
