Green Mountain Diapers flats are the best🥰 seeing a tiny newborn in a cozy little flat is the sweetest!

I look forward to all your videos each week & let me tell you they have helped me relax through some very tough times! Thank you! ❤ I have learned a lot and I finally took the plung with the sourdough starter, I'm currently on day 8! 🙌

[@HopewellHeights]

Thank you! You’re going to love sourdough!

[@JessJ13]

Steph I did similar,I doubled all our favourite recipes and got them stored in our chest freezer. We had alot of soups like potato&leek, roasted tomatoes and pepper, pea and ham and alot of stew, Currys,chill, Bolognese and some seasoned meats ready for the oven/slow cooker it was such a relief when baby was born and I knew myself ,husband and 3 kids could eat proper food! I was thankful of my past self 🤣 I'm so excited for you 🎉

[@HopewellHeights]

That all sounds delicious! And you’re right - so worth the work put in to prepare!

[@sarahburke1576]

I wish I had more information on cloth diapering when my kids were little. It was so much trial and error for me. I was finally able to get the hang of it. I love the upside down cat during the diapering demonstration😂. So cute!

[@HopewellHeights]

Haha yes cat has made herself quite at home!

[@katieociardha2196]

My thyroid got burnt out working nights/rotating shifts in emergency response during covid! Took ages to work out what was wrong - all sorts of strange symptoms. Doctor wanted to put me on meds for the rest of my life and instead I quit that job. I tried asking him if it could be related to working stressful shiftwork and he just looked at me blankly. Six months of good sleep and rest later, symptoms and blood work back to normal 😅

[@HopewellHeights]

Funny how they are so quick to dismiss stress as a cause - but it’s real!! Especially in healthcare, basically all of my night shift coworkers had a lot of health problems and some extra weight, it’s so hard the body. So glad you were able to leave that job and heal!

[@vanguardiris3232]

Doctors are often so conditioned to ignore their own stress and just bull through and cope with the absurd demands that the system places on them, they seem to forget that no person is a machine. I feel sorry for a lot of them

[@KILO-uv2wi]

I made the cinnamon rolls on Friday! My first use of my sourdough! They turned out wonderfully and my husband adores them! Thank you Steph, for simplifying sourdough and sharing your recipes with us. ❤

Please don’t stop making this videos. Also I am so so happy this is the fifth baby. Everything about your video is inspiring . 😊

Prayers for a great next few weeks before baby, a joyous homebirth delivery, and smooth postpartum recovery for you too🙏🏻 I love your opinions, please never stop sharing them! Whether it’s MLMs, homemade food tips, health products, or vasectomies 😅❤ I agree with you on so much! Case in point: my holistic doc is starting me on vitex to help my cycle as preconception work (I’m mid 20s and will be married 4 years this month, with him for 8, also didn’t do things the way I should’ve, thank God He had a plan all along) and I’m so so happy I saw your video from a while back when it was first released. I’m hopeful. All things work for His glory. ❤😊 God bless you and yours, Steph!

[@PaigeMadH]

Our stories are SO similar!❤ from living together before marriage and I ended up pregnant during the wedding planning!😂 it was a huge struggle, but made us stronger now..also we had a vasectomy and then a reversal too, still praying and praying for baby #3 ❤

Oh wow we really do have a lot in common!

[@janishkagutierrez8347]

My husband and i have been together 14 years as well (married for 3), and we had carrot cake made by my mother on our wedding day. My aunt made pies for the guests and the cake was just for us. It was mostly all we ate on our honeymoon! So very scrumptious.

[@HopewellHeights]

Carrot cake and pies sounds like a perfect wedding dessert spread!

I find using a piece of fishing line works well, it does not come apart like dental floss and does not break as well.

Brilliant!

[@ashleamendelson1414]

Happy anniversary to you and your husband . I hope your delivery goes smoothly you and baby will be in my prayers. I still use oil and flour to coat my cake pans. Like you said it works why change, lots of things like spray cans are for convenience not that it works better. Also wanted to say that I almost gave up on my third try of sourdough with my all purpose, but finally the day before yesterday it tripled in size so I fed it again last night and woke up this morning and it was tripled in size again I can’t thank you enough I almost gave up but I remember your words saying even though you don’t see any thing going on with your starter just keep discarding and feeding and sure enough, it worked!

[@HopewellHeights]

This is so exciting!!! Happy sourdough baking!

[@devonswink9627]

A little hint from a grandma… I used cloth diapers on my kids. My mom tore an old frayed sheet up in strips and made liners for the diaper. When they are dirty you can throw it away, if wet just throw in the wash and reuse. Keeps diapers from staining and easier for you.

[@HopewellHeights]

Genius!!

[@Wildflowers_Woods]

We love using Earthley products in our home as well! The feel better fast is amazing.

[@danabrown1640]

Hello!! Just a note to let you know I had terrific success with the cinnamon rolls! Just frosted them (California 5 pm Thursday 2/1). Bread unsuccessful to date. I’m adding more flour than water this week, starter is very active. Thank you for your step by step instructions and pictures!

[@KILO-uv2wi]

Hello! I came upon your channel a few days ago while researching sourdough. I’ve subbed because your videos are calm and peaceful and also very informative. I wholeheartedly agree with your statement at the end of this video and have recently pared the channels I follow way down, for that very reason. I definitely do not need any additional stress in my life. Congrats on your channel and keep up the great work. 😊

[@HopewellHeights]

So glad you are here!! ❤️

[@michi_enojon]

thank you for showing us how to fold the diaper I was sooo curious ❤

[@IkesGirl7178]

Parchment on bottom only. When you grease the sides, your cake blooms in the middle off-setting your cake. It's nothing to run a spatula around edges.

[@magen2271]

Thank you for all you do to bring us this amazing content. I really enjoy your relaxed style and how easy you make it all look. I can't wait to try out some of your SD recipes. And because of you, I have successfully made my first SD starter after a few failed attempts. =) I noticed that you kept yours up on a shelf (makes sense bc heat rises), and now I keep mine on top of my fridge, and it's doing so well! My house stays between 68-70, and I live in SE Texas in an old, drafty, cold house built in the 40's. My starter is just over 2 weeks old, and I think it's going to go in the fridge soon!! I've fed it every day, and it's now doubling each day. I've had it in a med size jar with a coffee filter on top with a rubber band so it can "breathe". I'm a little nervous about trying to make my first ever loaf of homemade bread in my 53 years. Lol

I'd love to know the story of how you came to the decision to enter the Sacrament of Marriage. I was confirmed at age 40 (age 69 now!) my husband was Catholic but had fallen away just after we married in 1972. A year after my Confirmation my husband and I celebrated our 25th anniversary with a Sacramental Marriage and most recently our 50th anniversary with another re-dedication and thanksgiving Mass. It is a beautiful experience to be drawn by the Holy Spirit to immerse ourselves fully into the Church.

[@HopewellHeights]

Congratulations!!! I was actually born and raised Catholic but unfortunately the faith was not modeled in my Catholic schools so I left as an adult and just recently returned. We were sacramentally married before I left though 😊

[@caitriley1255]

[@HopewellHeights]

My big kids are older so it’s a lot different than only having littles, and IMO it’s actually easier once you have more older kids who are helpers!

It is great to see someone cooking lasagna from scratch so good job! The only thing is that italiams don't eat that much garlic in fact the original lasagna sauce (ragu alla bolognese) does't call for any garlic. Most of the time, if we use it, we put it in a pan with some olive oil and then remove it. Because garlic has such a strong taste that it covers all the other ingredients. So you all should stop saying that italians eat so much garlic bealcause it isn't true 🤣 , it might be your preferenze but not something italian cuisine requires 😅
