Im 40, my husband and I have infertility (male factor) and tried for a biological baby for several years. We did a round of IVF that failed. That ended our journey of biological kids. We became foster parents and got a 2 day old placement foster son. 2 and a half years later we adopted him. He is now 7 almost 8 and the light of my world. I am happy now, my family is complete.

[@elaynekuenstler8333]

I’m 70 years old and our family is still growing. 5 kids, 13 grandchildren, 15 great grandchildren and we are still going. I’ve been with you since the beginning. Love you.

[@cherylallen3363]

You are so blessed!

[@autumndawn711]

I started follwing as a teen. I am now married and a mom of two boys. I havent struggled with infertility, but have such a heart of empathy. I have loved watching the process of your journey. I love your outlook of life and faith. ❤️

[@larah287]

Yes! I've been watching for many years. We have raised our 4 and they are now marrying and 4 years ago I began growing our food in the suburbs. Taking advantage of every space, canning enjoying fresh produce and making thr majority of our food from scratch. I needed to find something to put my energy to as the boys were more independent. My husband and I found a new passion and we plan to teach our future grandchildren our new skills. I love that you are sharing with the world your experiences and new skills. Bravo to all! ❤❤❤

[@kendrafritsche9224]

Your family is such a breath of fresh air in the crazy world of social media. I love it when I see there's a new video. I know for at least a little bit that I'll be blessed with your family and faith.

[@rowellfam]

Been following for 5 years. Struggled with infertility and God told us it was time to foster. So we fostered and adopted two babies. Ones now 3 and the other is now 1. One time an older video came up and I know it was God. You shared about losing your sister. Amidst our infertility I had lost my brother. Your story has really resonated with me. On top of that my name is Kallee, pronounced Callie!!! God bless. Thank you for sharing your journey and healing with us!

[@michellemiller-farley2895]

So blessed to have you all continue to share your lives with all of us. I, personally, am done with growing my family. My son and daughter in love are trying to grow theirs and are struggling. Also, my youngest daughter has been diagnosed with stage 4 endometriosis and is struggling mentally with this. She is engaged to be married next year. Your love of the world helps heal my heart and life, after losing my husband four years ago to CHD. He was a walking, talking miracle for far more years than doctors ever thought possible!!! Once again, thank you fro sharing with us all!!

[@nancypeteja6560]

Alex you look so comfortable running your homestead. You are right where you belong!! I remember the patio garden back in the day and now it is a full blown homestead!! Y'all are such a blessing in more ways than than one. Happiness always. 😊❤🐄🐖🐔🐤🥚🍅🥕🥬🧄🧅🫛🍓🫐🍞💖

[@user-wj2qe5qh5t]

I started watching 8 years ago. I had just lost my husband , to cancer! The first video I saw was Philip , really don’t remember what he said it was his positive attitude towards life, his laugh made me smile and that’s what I needed was something to smile at! I kept watching all your videos , you both put smiles on my face, love your messages and your positivity to life. We were married for 48 years and had 2 children and have 2 Granddaughters. Thank you for being you and a little happiness into my life 🙏❤️

[@thegreatlexini]

To be honest, I have been following you guys for years, when you were living in California. It's been a beautiful journey for you. When I started watching, I was taking care of a parent who has since passed. I'm now out on my own, healing from trauma and learning to love and embrace myself.

[@michelledesjadon1476]

I feel for you. I just lost my beautiful mama on Nov 30th, and within the next month, I lost 2 of my best friends. One of them from pancreatic cancer, and the other died in our house while she was here visiting for a few days. She was young, and we have no idea why or how she died. It's been a nightmare, and I'm honestly having a very hard time!! 😪

[@sharonporter-xc5gs]

@@michelledesjadon1476 My thoughts are with you. Losing a Mother is difficult but having the loss of best friends is extreme. I've been through it and I just took one day at a time.

[@RachaelNelson-df3qc]

Yes mines gone too was not included to her funeral so im never gonna speak to dad or sister ever again ​@sharonporter-xc5gs

[@collarmekate]

Hi Alex,Philip & girls!! I've been watching, since you 1st started posting, (I think the 1st video I watched, was the 2nd video you shared,talking about Kinsley!) Watching your beautiful family grow,has been a treasured honor,blessing, and so joyful. I am 53yo. I have Osteogenisis Imperfecta,Type 1. Or, "Brittle Bone Disease". Ive broken OVER 300 times(My Mom & I stopped counting, at age 16 at exactly 300.) These breaks were all major, long bone breaks, not counting all the greenstick/hairline fractures,fingers,toes,etc. Some required open or closed reductions,Spika/body casts,traction,etc. I had the same ortho from 1st break at 7wks old(femur/non displaced) until age 21,when he retired. We actually sat down 1 day,he & i,on my 16th birthday, and counted the number of days I had spent admitted to the hospital/pediatrics floor. It amounted to 87%, of my childhood, up to that point/16yrs. That was also the day I learned, that my "secret pen/gift pal",that for 15 years,I had been receiving gifts,cards,balloons, arranged V.IP visitors (puppies,ponys,kittens,human special guests etc)was,in fact,him. Anyways, against all odds,I went on to have 3 children,I gave birth to,that survived. 1,my youngest, inherited the O.I. I also took in a very young teen, a friend of my youngest son..whom was being abused and neglected, at home. We ended up getting guardianship of her,and for all purposes, she was our daughter. And still is and always will be!! Flash forward, to currently, while thinking I was LONG done, with growing our family, being 53,widowed..those days were long done. SURPRISE!! I am now starting all over,with my amazing, gorgeous, 5mo old grandson, while his mother struggles, to climb massive mountains, of early childhood trauma, addiction, and mental health. So yes,I am working on focusing on giving him the very best start,the space to thrive, grow,learn,heal..and enjoying every second of it..oh and like you & Phil,in Cali,only having a back deck,I am building a garden in raised beds/pots!! Much love,from our family, to your family!! (And I just signed up for newsletter!!)

[@shesforgivennfree]

I loved this sweet little video of birth, new life and the coming spring bringing the light and pushing out the darkness for another season. I really love the story narrative that Philip shared. Your little family and homestead are such an inspiration, and everything you do has Gods fingerprints all over it. You are a blessing to others. Im praying for you as we enter into this new season.

[@marodz20]

So much love in this family...Blessings and may God always guide you!!!

[@turpinrachael]

I’ve been watching for around 7 years. We are officially empty nesters and have a married 21 yr old daughter that is beginning her journey to find clean foods and makeup. I love seeing all your homestead plants and animals. You’re teaching not only your children but your viewers. God Bless

[@lindabruns6020]

From watching you since Callie was a baby all I can simply say is “You are all amazing! May God continue to bless each of you and all his creatures you are nurturing and love” 💖🙏🏻💖.

[@PhilandAlex]

You are so kind! thank you 💖

[@siobhanjohnson8088]

67 and have 4 grandchildren now.. watching them grow and learn is my absolute joy and being able to be involved in their lives is a blessing. But on the other side of growing your family I have just had the devastating news that my husband has dementia and is now declining.. so along with life also comes the realisation of how fleeting life can be. Love your children and enjoy every moment with them. ❤

[@saragoff9065]

The piglets are so stinking cute!! I’m in the season of enjoying my loved ones. Spending as much time together as we can. I’m 43. Never had bio kids. I do have a 28 year old (step) son. He’s my baby. My hubby and I want to spend all the time in the world with him. And his mom, who is amazing!! We just want to have fun and enjoy what life there is left. Time goes by so fast. So we call on our grown siblings and living parents, our nieces and nephews, everyone, to come hang out. It’s always a great time. I’m always grateful for it. I love your family. The girls are growing up so fast!! 💚💚💚

[@shannonsterling-hunter5234]

I've been watching since Callie was about two ❤. After six years of trying and some treatments, we are just 6 weeks away from delivery of our miracle baby through IVF. We were also blessed, prior to doing our own IVF, with 5 embryos that we will either re-donate or use. I have loved every moment of watching you all grow your family and farm, have been inspired, encouraged and learned a ton. Will start my own little patio garden this year.

[@Bri-wc4ib]

I started following you guys when I was waiting to be healthy enough to get pregnant. When I finally was able to get pregnant, I watched your videos to help me through my miscarriage of identical twins. I was watching your videos months later the day I found out I was pregnant with our rainbow baby, who is now almost 18 months old and so precious!! Thank you for all the hope and support you have given me and I pray you may have more miracles in growing your beautiful family! 💗☀️ 🙏

[@brookemcc]

I have been following you for years. I have previously posted about my fertility journey. It has changed a lot for me. I have recently made a life changing decision to leave an abusive marriage. My healing consists of creating healthy relationships, having boundaries and focusing on me and my future and happiness something I have pushed aside for 14 years. I now see my infertility as a blessing and know that gods plans were always greater then mine. My future looks brighter than ever before. I am steaming ahead toward goals that i thought were unobtainable. This brings me great joy. Many blessings.

[@barbie0348530]

I have been watching for 8 years now! I am now 27, married, with two daughters! Y’all’s videos have always been so inspirational to me! I can’t wait to see/hear about y’all’s next journey in life! I am always praying and cheering for your family ❤

[@jayleigh_bee]

I’ve watched you for all eight years! This year I will become a grandmother… both my daughters are pregnant and due this spring! One as a single mother by choice, the other with her husband. The joy I feel because of this change of season cannot be put into words. Thank you for sharing your family with us!

I've been with you guys since little miss Cassidy was born. ❤ It's absolutely fascinating watching you guys grow your homestead from just a few chickens, and a garden to what it is today!

[@ririsnursery3312]

I have watched your family for eight years and that time has flown by. I found you all when we started adding to our family and we are complete ❤ I’m excited for how your family has grown and flourished in different ways. Love you all and sending continued prayers for your family 🙏🥰

[@laceylue15]

I have been watching yall in multiple seasons of life. Currently celebrating a three year old after years of infertility ❤ was blessed to meet you both at Baby Steps in Nashville through Sarah's Laughter in 2019 as yall prayed for my husband and me. That day was such a blessing to us!

[@Acehazen]

We did everything young. We got married at 21, welcomed our daughter at 23 and then our son at 26. That's our family. We're all done, I turned 30 last month and I'm glad to be done!

Love you guys, I remember watching when Callie was a baby! Our family is complete, but growing through our nieces. I get to watch her 5 month old every day. It helps with the baby fever.

[@nicolasleep1358]

I started following you in 2017 ❤ my husband and I were newly diagnosed with infertility. I’ve been watching your family ever since, and in 2021 we welcomed our miracle baby preemie boy ❤ it took 4 years to be blessed with jack, and now we are almost on year 3 for baby number 2. We live on a homestead and have lots of pets and plants! Can’t wait to build up our family and our garden. Thank you for blessing us with your videos ❤

[@koelynrollison1770]

We have one IVF baby born just before your IVF baby. She was our only embryo so we have to start all over from the beginning. We are starting to talk to go back to the IVF clinic soon. We have held off for many reasons including fear because we developed complications and spent time in the NICU. Also it's so expensive. But also I went back to school and got my BS in business administration and started working on a Master's in Information Technology with a concentration in data analytics. We have a little 1/3 acre with chickens and a bigish garden.

[@PhilandAlex]

Oh Koelyn I understand that so much! I can’t tell you how many times I feel like I should have already been back at the fertility clinic and how many different concerns have held us back. Sometimes it about taking the leap, but I also believe that you’ll have peace on your heart when it’s time for the next step. Let us know if you need prayer either direction!

[@beatrizarasantos]

I’ve been watching for about 10yrs now as senior in high school! I’m 27 now, married for 3yrs and we’ve been trying to conceive for almost two years now. In April I have my first appointment with a NaPro doctor, praying for answers and be able to grow our family. We just moved to a rural area last month (my husband is a youth pastor) and two weeks ago I made my first batch of yogurt and we are looking and planning of getting chickens soon 😊

[@pnmdsz6]

I'm 65 years old & just love watching your Family grow since Kinsley (California) & you even passed me with the truck & trailer going up the 15 freeway, almost to the 91 freeway... I was going south & you all were heading North out of California, but I didn't have time to catch up to give you all Hugs leaving California... & Have watching 👀 every Vlog... You entire IVF & the ecstatic news of Alex being pregnant...The first ultrasound, gender reveal, painting of the chicken coop revealing Cassidys name...Her heart journey, Buttercup first calf... now 2nd & lots of piglets... Your time away was VERY lonely as I don't have Family & watching yours grow, both with children & fur babies... Warm my Heart & I ALWAYS am looking for updates so... Keep them coming... love, Love, Looooove You ALL... HUGS & BLESSINGS ALWAYS, LOVE, Linda Gentile GBY ALL 🙏❤️💙💖💖💖🐕🐕🤗✝️

[@bethanietaylor6402]

I first came across your channel late 2018/early 2019 when my husband and I had started trying to have a baby. I had suspected that I’d struggle to have kids due to irregular periods my whole life and jumped into the TTC world headfirst trying to learn everything I could. It took us 2.5 years to get pregnant with our son, and we were ultimately successful after our first round of IUI, despite being told we would need to do IVF due to unexplained infertility. I had my son in December 2021, then got the shock of our lives in May 2022 when we found out I was pregnant again with our daughter. Now we have a 2.5 year old and a 1.5 year old and we’re loving this stage we are in! We hope to have another in a few years once our first two are out of daycare, but until then I’m hoping to do what I can holistically in order to hopefully not struggle to have a third

[@donnagalluzzo424]

I found your family many years ago out of an interest in obstetrics and fertility medicine. Since then, I completed college and have gone on to medical school.

[@coleenfilipinas5692]

Thank you, Alex, for asking. I’ve been watching this channel for about four years. I remember watching from the start of when you left Southern California to where you are today. You’ve inspired me for one, you’re an ER nurse, and I am a CNA. Currently I am working towards my goal of a new profession in a hospital setting. Ideally an Anesthesia Technologist. Pasadena City college partnered with Kaiser P. for a year long program which begins every summer. Thank you for your content here on KZbin. May God continue to bless you all, always!

[@margiegenx]

Gosh, I’ve been following for so many years. Callie was maybe a year old. You were in your fertility journey and prayed for blessings along the way. You encouraged me to be more active on what to bring in our house and I’ve considered bucket gardening. this summer. Spring not here yet so until May. Our grief has been years of trials of job loss, losing our home(s) that have rocked our family. We pray that the season that turned into a cycle has come to a halt. At least that’s in my prayers. Love your videos. God Bless you, your family and your homestead.

[@desiree_marie]

Phil & Alex, thank you for being such an inspiration. I found your channel years ago when we were “in the thick of it” with infertility. Hopeless, questioning God’s will. Fast forward a few years, and we’ve grown our family through foster care and adoption. We’ve adopted 2, about to be 3 kiddos from foster care, and have fostered 13 kiddos in total! My heart (& our home) is so full of love and light. Thank you for being you, and shining light on infertility. Much love from Ohio. ❤

[@karenselogic7742]

I’ve followed you almost from day one. Just after you got your oldest daughter. Can’t believe how your family has grown and how big the girls have gotten. I’ve sent others to your channel.

Having Hyperemesis Gravidarum with both pregnancies, your channel/perspective helped me hold onto joy in that hard time. My girls LOVE watching your farm and children. Your witness as a family is inspiring.

[@slurunner05]

Joining your community in the midst of growing our family and going through infertility has helped me with the rough, grieving moments. We’ve been blessed with two sweet girls through IUI (now 5 and 2) and had a surprise pregnancy in December that unfortunately ended in miscarriage. We’re still hopeful in our healing for another baby, but it’s been a season of grieving, healing and refocus on physical, emotional and mental health for our family. Thank you for continuing to share and build a community for fellow warriors and supporters of infertility to have a voice and the validation we need to thrive ❤

I've been watching you guys for years and I feel like my life/healing is growing with you, thank you. We had our miracle boy in 2022 and our hearts are so full but we do hope to give him a sibling. Sadly we lost a pregnancy in November last year and had a lot of complications which I needed a long time to heal from. We are TTC again, I so hope we are able to fall pregnant again but I am nervous as you can imagine.

Right now my husband and I are still working on trying to figure out what we want to do. Exactly I know what I want. I want the country living I just can’t raise my animals and slaughter them. When we lived in the Ozark mountains in Marshall Arkansas we had chickens and I loved having my fresh eggs everyday. Plus sold the over abundance. I would love to have miniature pigs also. Right now we have 6 dogs and 5 cats all indoors and I wouldn’t change it for the world. Our journey began in 1988 when we got married, had our beautiful daughter in 1989 and then our son in 1991. Then life went downhill. Our son passed away in 1991 then our daughter in 1992. My animals became my kids. Now I want land to have a nice large house and a beautiful garden and farm

[@daledale9200]

Started watching when I wan an early teenager, just when you had Callie. I found your journey and family so inspiring, but with no idea what was ahead of me. Little did I know, that all my interest in IVF. All your sharing of your IVF journey, was actually preparing me for mine. I am now 25 years old, pregnant after IVF. when trough it with so much knowledge, and felt so much safer with that. That’s because of you, thank you. You have inspired me to homestead, so that is in the near future as well. Taking over our small family farm in Norway♥️

Now years later we have settled with our family of three and my mother in law in our own home and garden. I still find no pleasure on gardening at All, however I thrive in the kitchen thanks to watching homesteaders as you. So thank you from my family to yours

We have had a loss already this year but we are staying hopefully positive and looking forward to another try via IVF. We know God has a plan a purpose and a path for us to take which we may not understand but we know it’s right. Staying joyful through the hard and excited for the future!

[@HandleToWatch]

Lovely video! I started watching when y’all were still in the California condo. Y’all already had Callie and Kinsley. I started watching because I didn’t understand infertility and I wanted to empathize with friends going through it. I didn’t want to ask painful questions so I sought out families who were already talking about it. Since watching, I’ve gotten married and we are praying for family growth. Still a party of 2, but trusting the Lord with this desire of my heart. I’m so happy to see y’all thriving!!

[@sarahsleet3306]

We are also still in the waiting (12 years) to grow our family of 3 but seeing that the firmness yall have rooted in the Lord has helped me strengthen mybown relationship with God. I look foward to trying to start our life of living as God intended us to by living off the land, ect. Philips way of speaking brings everything too life in such a loving way i KNOW God has given him a special ability to reach people. I am so grateful for finding you guys on social media because even if we are thousands of miles away its like having like minded, similar life journey firends in my life just a video click away. ❤😊 May the Lord our God continue to guide, grow, protect, & abundantly bless you all. 🙏❤

Congratulations on the newest arrivals! I've been watching since the beginning. Can't wait to see your garden this year.

Sounds like she sings to her babies ...how adorable ❤

I started following you through IVF...my IVF miracle is turning 6 this month. We have older children, but going through IVF was so difficult and amazing at the same time. I love watching you and your family!

[@morgannort]

I’ve been watching since 2017 or 18 when I started college! I was single and living at home at the time, and now I’m married! I’ve always been so drawn to adoption, and have always planned on only adopting when I have children. I adore the way you all love each other and communicate and your parenting techniques. You guys have always inspired me and I hope to have a loving, close family like this :)

[@dcolleluori28]

I absolutely love watching your family. You are all so inspirational! We just had two girls 11 months apart ! And still planning on growing our family, as long as God allows us to, in the next few years!

I am 74 and a widow. I have twin girls and a son that has produced 9 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren. I can't garden like I use to (bad back) so I plant my tomatoes and squash in bags of vegetable potting soil bags. It produces enough for me to can and freeze for the year. I have followed you for many years and have laughed and cried with you through your journey. My sister went through a similar scenario and has two adopted children. Knowing the struggles through my sister I had and still have so much empathy for you and Philip. I would love to know where you are at this point but understand it is so personal but it is not just curiosity it is caring for you. Love to you and all your beautiful family.

I started watching when my IVF boy girl twins were 13yrs old. They turn 20 next month & that time has flown by! We are on our 2nd year of a small garden but live in an HOA so no animals yet but plan to move to the country hopefully in the next year & will continue to learn to sustainability

[@brielynn]

I’ve been watching forever. Since pre-Callie. I love how your family has developed. You went from an apartment to an RV to this beautiful farm full of animals. I imagine back when you were living in the apartment you never imagined having a big dog let alone 2 big dogs and cats. Not to mention pigs, cows, chickens, etc.

[@PhilandAlex]

Yes! its so wild looking back on all of it realizing how different life used to be just 5-7 years ago. My how things have changed. You are loved Brie!

I'm 51 and on disability and don't have space for a garden or farm animals but am blessed to have raised 3 kids on a farm with cats and dogs and rabbits. I now have a 4 year old grandson and he is my joy. I focus on watching him grow and still have my cat breeding program in place. It's my passion and love. Nothing like bringing new life into this earth and lovingly raise them for hand picked homes ❤

[@mirndacoe5904]

I took a break for a while. I missed you guys. You guys are the sweetest family.

[@user-momof7]

What an awesome life your girls have :)

[@amyandrews4942]

I was so happy to see a new post!!!! Truly miss yall when you don't. It's positive, and calming and sense of something is as it should be in life.

[@andreathelin4069]

I’ve been following you for 8 years. I was in the midst of infertility, and now i have a gorgeous 7 year old son and a gorgeous 5 year old daugther. I have moved from a big city and an apartment ti a small city and a house in the countryside. With my vegetable garden that i’m learning as i go in and with my beautiful apple tree. ❤️

[@user-lk5bx7lr4m]

My husband and I have been together for 21 years. I’m 67 he is 61. So when we got together he had no children and I had 2 adult children and 1 granddaughter. We now have 7 granddaughters and 1 great granddaughter that is 16 months. We know our family is growing and will be growing for a long time our youngest granddaughter is 5 our oldest is 23. So they are spaced apart a little. We are hoping someday to get a great grandson. But I have been watching your family grow for about 5 years. But I have went back and watched the earlier videos. Pray for you all every day. Bless you for being able to tell your story.

[@Ashinator01]

I'm 22, and it has been a struggle. I am not trying to get pregnant, but due to reproductive issues and genetic issues, it is not going to be a possibility. And it has been hard. Especially every time I get my period it hurts that much more. I've been healing with organic food, resting, and time with family and friends.

[@zoogy1985]

Started watching you guys back in your IVF days as I was going through the same. We are very blessed to have a near 5yo boy and a 2 yo girl- our family is now complete ❤

[@kaseyacton4015]

I have been watching you since the beginning. I struggled with infertility and your channel was always a source of comfort. We were able to grow our family with IVF and have 3 beautiful kids. We would love more but it doesn't seem to be in the cards for us. We LOVE your homestead. We have a smaller acreage with a growing garden and sooo many chickens. Happy Spring !!

[@stephaniebuck7246]

I’m in the season of my 4 boys are at the edge of being mostly independent. I have loved watching you over the past 8 years. Mostly tho since you moved to this home. I am dreaming of our own home. I do my best in the apartment I am in…my dream will come true. Thank you for your light and hope. It means so much to me and I KNOW everyone.. I love you friends ❤❤❤ bless you

[@rosegray9933]

Prayers needed for myself my son will be gone for a year on St.Patrick Day.I put my faith in God.

[@mamamia_222]

Hi-I'd love to see tutorial videos on homesteading: planting, canning, healthier cleaners. (Our HOA doesn't allow farm animals.) Do you think in the future you'd dive deeper into educating us on how to do these things?

[@nadineduncan8903]

Your whole family is truly incredible what a wonderful video today thank you. Philips voice is so calming when he was talking and extremely inspiring. I’ve had to learn to heal from not been able to have my own children the only way I found that I could do this was to purchase a dog and it’s been the best thing I did by far he is my everything which probably sounds crazy but he helped me fill the empty hole I had.
