I'm SO sorry for the loss of the previous owner of your farm. I teared up along with you... SO sad. But, It sounds like he and his wife are so relieved that your family farms the land, making such good use of it, and enjoying it so much. That gives them much happiness. Lovely...

[@wendystuthers8706]

My condolences for your family's loss.❤❤

[@Tia-vj9ox]

Please accept our deepest sympathy at the loss of your friend❤ it’s so hard to lose one so special to your family.❤

[@debrasnipes7431]

Oh so sorry for the loss of your friend. It broke my heart to see you so shaken. You are an angel on earth. 🙏❤️

[@edithjohnson6835]

I wish your channel would grow. I would love to know more families could see what a wonderful family you have. May God Bless you and your friend’s family who passed away. Y’all are loved. 😢❤️🙏

[@maryannhickey5559]

Hey Ozark Family, I’m so very sadden for the loss of your dear precious friend! May GOD comfort his family and y’all as well! Death is a thing that’s truly hard for us here in this world, our loved ones that pass on, and that we know they have lived a life serving the Lord, then we are comforted know that they are with Our Savior JESUS CHRIST! And knowing that always brings us comfort, even thou we are selfish at times and want them to remain with us here! Little Ms. Rebeca is such a joy! I always love when she shares a little bit with us! Love y’all and can’t wait for the next video!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@melodyspoor3127]

People, like your friend, are gifts from Heaven to show the rest of us how to be better people. May he RIP/RIL. Sending extra hugs for David, he seems so sad lately.

[@laurale8299]

I'm so sorry about the loss of your friend. Thank you for mentioning he was a believer. Sending prayers for his family and friends. I enjoyed the Day in the Life on your farm. Reminds me of my childhood. We always had a milk cow, sheep, chickens and sometimes a pig, along with a vegetable garden. My mom conserved and made many things from scratch. She use to make lye soap. It's just me now, so I don't farm. I can and freeze fruits and vegetables a little bit. It's so nice your children help around your place. Sweet children. ❤️ 🙏

[@nodaknorskie1486]

This may sound odd but I've known several people would have been on the elimination diet. Several of them either drank 1/4 cup of sauerkraut juice first thing in the morning or ate 1/4 cup of sauerkraut in the morning. Apparently it is really good for gut health and healing.

[@traceyseabrook1076]

Luv, luv, luv your video's including ALL your children. The content is not unique to me growing up on a large farm here in Ontario, however I enjoy watching your home life and content on the farm....it truly gives me joy. I know it's been a few months since this post, but what a gift you and your family have taken over from the previous owner whom recently passed. Knowing the history of the land owned previously is a blessing for sure. Simply Thank you. From Ottawa, Ontario.

[@kathysorensen798]

We have 4 daughters 56,53,51,46. 10 grandchildren (6 boys 4 girls) 2 Great Grandchildren .. Kimber is 8 yrs old, Stella is 2 months old. When I look at your children it makes me smile.

Great DITL family video of the homestead and how busy everyone is and all work together to get things done! Sorry for the loss of your friend. You all have done a wonderful job with the farm land and he is smiling down on all you have accomplished! Almost to 24,000🎉🎉 Yay!

[@sabrinadevol1210]

Enjoyed the tour around your property, seeing the animals, the root cellar, and the greenhouse. What a wonderful, busy life you live! I'm sorry to hear about your friend's passing. Praying for peace and comfort for his wife. Blessings.

[@donnasimmons2202]

Praying for y'all and your friend who's husband passed May God be with y'all as the days ahead ❤️ 🙏🙏🙏

[@SusanBishop555]

I am sorry for your loss. Thanks for this FUN video! I love the longer ones. It looks like you are dealing with the diet change for the one who needs it...cool! I love your animals and gardens. They are so refreshing to see. I am in a small city and enjoy your wonderful life style! Big Hugs and Love. 😍😘🤗 Susan from Michigan

[@CaliMishell]

The man who passed sounds like he was a force. I’m sorry for the loss of your friend.

[@homesteadmccoy]

It was fun to follow you around the homestead. I especially enjoyed seeing all of the animals that I've heard you talk about. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@JuliaM215]

Fun day, wish I could be there with you all! I love how active everyone is. My mama used to say, idle hands are the devil’s workshop!

[@lisaharrigan1370]

Janice, you are a woman of patience, I could never wait long enough to percolate my coffee in the morning!! Looks like everyone got a lot of work done!!

[@fawnemcavoy692]

your home matches all my aunts uncles and cousins we from saskatchewan saying hi from the saskatchewan farming community i also look for sales at the store when shopping

[@kittyrichards9915]

Jessica at Three Rivers Homestead does the GAPS diet. But she doesn't cover it often because her family doesn't follow it, just her.

[@KimWatson-e1m]

I have some dietary restrictions and one of the things I do when making soup is to just make a base of all the things we can all have. I then just pull out mine and add the other items like barley to the rest. Once you get used to it, things will be easier and more natural. Praying it gets resolved and this is just a season in life not a lifetime thing

[@kathyloomis3107]

Angels, all I can say is your children are angels💞💙💞💙💞💙💞💙💞💙

[@madewithloveandbutter5598]

I absolutely love these videos… feel like extended family!

[@debbierowe5891]

Janice so sorry for your loss. We will be keeping you and your friend's family in our prayers. I love this video. It is so sweet seeing the children in their morning routines. They are so sweet. Looks like it was a beautiful day on the homestead. The last package has been delivered today. 4 packages in total from Temu.❤

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

Oh my, thank you, Debbie!! I'm sure Shawn will bring it home with him today then. :)

[@vanessaJeans]

My favorite new youtube channel. Sorry for your loss. Those color changing cups look fun. Love seeing your family meals.

[@kel70]

I swear, Abigail is the smiliest (is that a word? Lol) kid I have ever seen. You just never see her without a smile on her face and a little giggle. It's so genuine and sweet. It's even contagious, I'm not known to smile very much that's just how I'm wired but, I gotta admit she can always bring a smile to my face and that ain't easy. ❤😅

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

What a wonderful compliment!! Thank you for being so kind to my sweet girl! :)

[@dorischaron1887]

Sorry for Your loss, prayers for All.

[@ellenmoon1787]

Its so refreshing to get the weeds gone and plant the new garden its like a peace comes oner you as they start to grow sorry about the previous owner passing

[@batbseverino6015]

I loved your DITL video. What a wonderful farm and home you have. ❤️

[@fawnemcavoy692]

i have kids there is a park by my house and it has sand to play in you could put sand in the hole and make a sand box

[@maryhekker4166]

My sweet, Janice, we just returned from taking showers at a friends. Still without well. I’m praying hard for you today, my dear friend as I see a genuine sadness in your face. I know we have have our own sufferings and crosses to carry and you’re genuinely one of those who has been blessed with such graces to manage. With all the pieces of my heart, ❤️❤️❤️😇😇😇🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😄😄😁😁🎁🎁🎁🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

Thank you, sweet friend! You're a continual blessing to me! :)

[@WendyMullins-j8q]

I love the day and life so much fun to see your life in action.

[@judykelly5358]

Love this kind of video Janice, your place is much bigger than i realised. Sarah's plant knowledge is wonderful and interesting, i have the same sense of awe when i see new growth. Thank you again for sharing with us xx

[@smsalex64]

I am so sorry for the loss of your dear friend. And your right, knowing he is with the LORD makes it easier to bear a death.

[@donnabennett1256]

I live with my daughter, son-in-law, & grands. We have three with food allergies & sensitivities-all different ones. We are careful to do no cross contamination and, much to my chagrin, completely avoid the actual allergens. No tree nuts (walnuts, pecans, almonds, etc) and no peanuts. The sensitivities are spread over 3 of the 4 grandkids and include dairy, avocados, apples, pineapple, kiwi, bananas and most raw veggies. It makes it hard to make a thanksgiving or Christmas meal with all the goodies. We have become very adept at making sure if we do make, for instance, an apple pie, it is done separate and apart from everything else. It can be done but our kiddos are older and understand the gravity of food allergies. The 10 year old always gets peanut butter when her sisters are away from home. She immediately goes to wash hands & face and brush teeth before her older sister gets home. I hope it works out for your family.

[@jf6751]

You can use shredded potatoes as a binder in salmon patties as well if you make thinner crisper patties.

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

Oooh, that's a great idea! I bet it's delicious too! :)

[@trishthedish2790]

Janice your such a good momma I love hearing the girls laugh

[@ChristalenB]

Miss Janice, I am so sorry about your dear friend. I will keep you guys and his family in my prayers as well. 🙏🙏🙏

[@vikkibyington3066]

Janice, So sorry to hear about the passing of your friend. Your paths crossing must have been a God Thing. Both families blessed from this homestead land. 🙏🏻 This was a great DITL video. Loved it. Daisy’s calf is so adorable! 🐄 The chickens cracked me up! I was wondering if y’all had given any thought to taking a “year later” photo of the family that you’ve had since you started your channel? I was noticing how much Rebekah has grown. I think it would be cool to see how the kids had all grown. Just an idea. Love n hugs, Vikki from E TN 🙏🏻❤️

[@reneebond777]

I get that you have a family member with a health crisis but I think it would have been easier not to even mention it at all. I doubt anyone would have suspected it if you hadn’t called attention to it, but by the secrecy around it , most now have an inquiring mind 😂 🤔

[@barbaramarkham4736]

Thank you Janice for this GREAT video. I enjoyed it so much. I love your whole family. Bless you, Shawn and your precious children. Love from B.C. Canada 🍁 🙏🏻

[@noraredpath8194]

What a lovely video, thank you for taking us along in your day

So sorry for your loss. How great to know he saw your love of the homestead. Heaven rejoices , another son comes home.

Would love to see the process of milking Daisy and processing milk.

Hi Janice it's fiorella from Canada that's okay it all works out God bless you and your family and the most important thing is that you take care of your family very well God bless you and your family❤

[@lbrowne28]

I love your videos! It has entertained me while recovering from knee surgery. That is a busy day! I laughed when Sarah was whispering at the end.

[@teresa8561]

I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of such a wonderful man, obviously he meant alot to you & the family, I offer my condolences to you all. 🙏 ❤

[@CheriGoodwin]

I absolutely loved this video! Beautiful weather and just a beautiful day. I would give anything to start my life over being one of your children. Just the morning scene alone is so calm and peaceful, no rushing to get on the bus, no rushing because Mom will be late for work. There is no mad rush to find their homework, brush their teeth and get dressed. Just everybody moving at their own pace, they know what they're supposed to do and are doing it. So sorry about your dear friend passing away. My heart aches for his poor wife. That would be so difficult to move through. Cheri

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

Thank you for the sweet comment, Cheri! I hope our children look back on these days with good memories. We're busy, busy, busy, but I like to think it's a happy kind of busy and not a hectic kind of busy. :)

[@melodyspoor3127]

This was an awesome video! Loved it!!!

[@hollyh5032]

I'm so sorry for your loss! I'm so glad he was a believer! That makes it easier!

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

Yes, it does make it easier, Holly! :)

The kids and I cheered out loud when we saw your Trim Healthy Mama cookbook spread!! THM has changed our lives. We eat THM for the last 10 years. ❤ loving your channel!!

[@dawnaw1434]

I'm sorry to hear that your family's friend passed away. I enjoyed your video!

[@pinkyelloworange12]

Would you ever share a full homeschool day video? I love seeing how other families homeschool start to finish throughout the day.

[@andreastamper9908]

Janice, you are so genuine...one of my fave youtubers.

[@sylviagarrison6606]

Is so hard. I'm slowly emptying out my barn and 3br 2b house. Stan was never sick a day in his life. I'm so sorry for the loss of your friend. I'm going to miss my farm for sure. But i just can't do it by myself. Time to downsize

[@virginiawimer8064]

I have been diagnosed with Celiac. It's was a nightmare at first, but is easier now. It requires change but you get used to it. I feel so much better.

[@16CENTS561]

5:26 I love that detangling brush too!

[@davisange]

It’s interesting to see the similarities between your children. For example Abigail always nod her head just like Andrew does and Anna does similar gestures like Sarah

[@saras4181]

Hope the elimination diet is helping with any bothersome symptoms. As the new diet becomes more familiar it will be easier. Hope y'all have a good week! I know a girl that sucked her thumb until she was almost 12. Love & prayers!

[@bumblebee7922]

@saras4181... OH... you must be talking about ME! I did. Part of it was comfort and part stress from being scared. I have an overbite from it. My daughter sucked her thumb for a long time and also has an overbite.

[@saras4181]

No it was me too! Like you, stress and fear. My thumb was my comfort.

[@bumblebee7922]

@@saras4181 Isn't it SO SAD we had to live that way, with those awful feelings.... HUGS Mom was always on me about sucking my thrumb too which didn't help. Sadly she never understood any of my feelings.... :(

[@davisange]

Some suck their thumb up to adulthood, even up to middle age

[@maegardnermills4292]

What an amazing homestead you have❤ All the fresh air, sunshine and lots of room for children and livestock. You and Shawn are deserving of what you are purchasing. Great hugs to the new widow. Life is a journey and the next one is promised. I enjoyed your video. You are a natural woman.

Anna's hair is beautiful! I love long hair but don't look good with real long hair. You'll have to let us know how Sara is doing on her studies on nursing. And Sams schooling too. You have such smart kids i was surprised to see that one of the boys knows how to sew. I think thats great cause you never know when it comes in handy. He probably knows alot more than my basic of what i learned in school years ago. Have a great day. Love to all Cindy M. From Arizona.❤

[@martitasez]

One thought, I have a cousin had many grains eliminated when he was young, but could have rye flower. Also, he could have powdered milk. The process of drying took something out of it. Mind you this was in the late 1960's and the 1970's. Just a thought.

[@ozarkfamilyhomestead]

I appreciate the help! :)

[@BrenBuskirk]

Allergic to wheat .mainly makes me itch and ingest to much mess with bowel but I love rolls .rye bread doesn't bother me at all even sour dough seem to be good

[@TnWonderer]

have you thought about a 3 tier bunk beds ... you can make them yourself... give the girls more room in their room... the bottom bunk is on the floor so the tiny big girl could sleep there....

So sorry for your loss. May he rest in peace.

[@deepace4581]

I’m so sorry for your loss in my prayers 🙏🙏

[@bumblebee7922]

How did you know the family member had food allergies? Was it skin issues, asthma or something else? When I was 14 I got asthma twice a week apart as we went to fairs and I was near the hay. When I was skin tested, all the foods I was eating at that time, I was allergic too. After awhile I could eat those foods again. Also, hay, grass, ragweed, mold, trees... Had allergy shots for many years and then used vitamins, etc, when I was old enough to know better. But, I still have exczema which comes and goes. That's in the family as many family members have had it over the years, from my mother's side. Stress also flaisr our eczema up. Blessings.. LOVED the long video and seeing the farm animals, hearing them moo, the turkeys especially and all the animals. You will probably get turkey babies eventually. Wouldn't THAT be fun??
