Hi friends! I'm Jennifer, a forty-something wife and mother of 7 children ages 9 - 25. We are Catholic. We homeschool. We cook from scratch. We farm cranberries. We drink coffee. We advocate for Down syndrome awareness. We are loud. We are chaotic.
Here I'll share vlogs about all these things, what I'm doing that works and what I've tried but didn't work. I hope to encourage you in your journey through motherhood, homeschooling, learning to cook, and growing in your faith through it all.

[@beverleyhill1110]

Thanks!

[@acountrylife]

Beverley, you are so kind and generous. I just want you to know that I shipped out your cookbooks, but there was a customs glitch on the UPS side so it'll be a few days before they arrive yet. As I understand the "declaration" which states what is in the package and it's worth did not get forwarded to the customs office from my local UPS store so they had to contact me personally to submit further paperwork. Sorry for the super long delay.

[@dawnmontoya4444]

As a sped teacher, I cannot say enough how great of a job you have done with Joe and his reading!!! It is very difficult to teach reading to students with even learning disabilities, but to have intellectual challenges and reading as well as he does is a HUGE accomplishment for you both! 👏 👏 Way to go Joe!

[@acountrylife]

Thank you; I appreciate that so much. It’s a labor of love and time.

[@cumberlandquiltchic1]

im bot a teacher, but ive thought the same thing! ever since i began watching your videos, i am impressed with all of your children. however, Joe is amazing in his learning skills and life skills. youve done an amazing job as a mother and educator.

[@kimberlylholt]

Jennifer is amazing with Joe. I admire how she does all things with her family.

[@cynthiaannblaha5127]

I am new to your channel after the collaboration with A Farming Pastor’s Wife. I homeschooled my 4 sons for 23 year finishing about 4 years ago. For my younger sons, I used Teaching Textbooks for our math. The did it on the computer with full instruction and even tutoring if needed. On another note, where can I find your cookbooks? Do you have a website or Facebook page?

[@acountrylife]

@@cynthiaannblaha5127 www.acountry-life.com thanks and welcome CynthiaAnn.

[@gruzincklebell3404]

What a sweet surprise, so cute to see Peter and Maria holding the baby kittens so tenderly. 💖💖💖💖

[@dawnmontoya4444]

I also love the saying, Let's be people who see how much we can do instead of people who do what we have to do. Great lesson!

[@teresakeith5539]

I had a college math teacher that used to say, "If even just one number is wrong, the building will fall" I didn't appreciate it then but it makes more sense now!

[@cathydecarles7084]

Jennifer you have so much energy I don’t know how you do it all you are and amazing Mom Wife and your videos are wonderful always

[@carolmain9462]

Hello Jennifer Thank you for sharing your vlog much appreciated by us all Can I say that you have a wonderful family to whom watch your family do their chores etc Jennifer your children have very good mannerisms Thanks to your very good parenting and knowledge Jennifer and Warren You are such darlings and we love you so much 💓 You demonstrate your highest of professionalism working standards and we thank you for this Keep up with the great work that you do with continued success you are winners in my book xxxx

[@revabrown2288]

Love your channel. You give multi tasking a whole new light. You have such a wonderful family.

[@jankitteringham8483]

Wonderful video Jennifer. I think of you amazing farmers when I eat my cranberry sauce. Very very appreciative thanks to you all. 🥰🇬🇧

[@juliewright1895]

Oh my goodness! Joe has just become a young man, it seems, in the last six months!! Thank you for the video, Jennifer! 🙂

[@vickiulrich6694]

Worry not Warren…I ALWAYS embrace cranberry season. God bless you for being a consistent farmer and making cranberries available to us each year. I’m grateful to all our farming families but cranberries are just it for me. Looking forward to seeing the harvest vlogs, some of my favorite A Country Life vlogs…thanks Jennifer. I must comment how much the littles have blossomed this past year. One day you will be empty nesters for sure. Happy canning, happy harvesting…and happy me for its cranberries for everything I can dream up!!!:):):)

[@cumberlandquiltchic1]

well said. i completely agree.

[@theresaleek7750]

I like watching the lipstick & nail polish. You look really nice in the brighter colors like you wear in this video.

[@WillowsGarden]

Hi Jennifer and sweet family! Wow, you’ve been very busy and now cranberry harvest is already here. Don’t you just think it’s easier to cook the tomatoes down in the Nesco, it’s a game changer, doesn’t heat up the kitchen as bad either. You both are wonderful parents to your children. Have a blessed day!

[@nicolem.837]

Hey Jennifer and family, I wanted to express my gratitude for sharing homeschooling and the firearms coloring book as a part of your ditl videos. That is one way to spread knowledge and understanding especially when viewers are in different states. I didn't know the gun book was available and now that's a business I'd like to support. This is one of the many reasons I subscribed to your channel is bc you and Warren value the importance of teaching your kids and others (myself) real life so they are prepared when they leave the nest. I see others have a bad taste in their mouth about these topics. Other viewers who don't care for those topics; you all can simply skip that part...Viola!! God bless the Brockman family. You guys have tons of support, including my family. 👍

[@joanphillips2610]

I just got my cookbook yesterday, I was about to get worried about getting it, sometimes my mail is crazy, it took a couple of weeks before it came. I was looking at the book and I noticed you made a comment and signed it, what a wonderful surprise. Thank you

[@debgordon6542]

I got tickled at a couple scenes: When Maria was filming she did a "a-hum" that sounded just like you, Jen :-). As the kids "snapped" the beans for prep, they brought back memories of the "one for the bowl, one for me" method that we all did as kids lol

[@statiagalavan2290]

,,

[@karenknapp4918]

Joe is an amazing son with amazing accomplishments! Your teaching skills are beyond par!

[@nancylowell1035]

You are just an awesome Mom and wife! I'm waiting for the cranberries to get to Montana! lol! Have a happy week!

[@marieholzwasser9224]

I love cranberries and can't wait for harvest!!!

[@karenchakey]

Hello Jen so good to see everyone and all the smiles, nothing like new kittens they are adorable.

[@vickihill4777]

I recently read that the lemon juice needs to be added regardless how you process it. This came from the usda food preservation book.

[@susanrobinson408]

I'm posting before I watch....I hope it's a new baby!!!!

[@laurieelhelaly2165]

This was a wonderful video. I so enjoy your day to day adventures with your family life, farming, schooling and of course baby kitties. Thank you. Stay safe. Sending you love and light.

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Good morning everyone happy Wednesday morning and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter and I'm proud of you

[@msmary126]

Watching while I make your oven fried chicken here, again. That has become a favorite for supper here!

[@thewoodenspoon9679]

I love these week long videos. I love the cooking. I love the canning! Thank you!

[@deniselakatos5418]

Hi Jennifer. Really enjoyed our visit today. And it is always good to spend a little time with Warren. The kids are getting so grown up. Well done Sugar--beautiful babies!! Hugs and blessings.

[@brendarobertson7206]

Beautiful kittens, I love all of the love that you spread.

[@acountrylife]

Thank you! 😊

[@treenaakers9429]

Great video. Look forward to cooking out of your newest cookbook. That hashbrown casserole looked yummy!

[@catwoman4580]

Congratulations Sugar, what gorgeous babies !:)))

[@michellenelson11]

I really enjoyed this one! I recognize those textbooks. We used them for several years. We moved on to CHC. It's definitely impirtant to have the proper tags so you get those Books that were removed. I love seeing the kids working together for school. Thank you for sharing your family with us. God bless!

[@jackistemper1419]

Great video as always!! Love the day in the life videos from tomatoes, laundry and of course Joe's burps 😉... I just enjoy him so much!! The clothes Peter & Maria got in the mail were so nice ... they both know what they like and don't like . It's a cool rainy day here in S.D. with lots of chores to do inside and out .

[@cryssbou7864]

Jalpenos with stretch mark can be indicative of the amount of stress the pepper plant has endured, usually caused from rapid growth sometimes can be a sign that they are hotter as well. Also red can tend to be hotter as well

[@sheilaperl4155]

Love your videos. Your hair looks so pretty pulled up on top of your head, it got a bit messy because you were working so hard! Congratulations on your kittens 🐈‍⬛!!

[@bumblebee7922]

GREAT job getting all the tomatoes processed. LOVE those red onions. WOW! The kittens are precious and adorable!! Awww...

[@lemoncrinckles]

Thank you, Jennifer. Really enjoyed your vlog. Those tomatoes were beautiful...and so abundant! You never know from year to year which veggie is going to do the best. The kitties are so sweet. Looking forward to your cranberry harvest. Hope you do very well. 😊

[@tonyasmith6881]

Jennifer, that casserole looked so easy and delicious 😋 I'll be making this for sure! And once again, I can't say Thank-You enough for your cranberry farm, I Love cranberries! I have a can with every meal and even put cranberry sauce on my toast and it's also great on oatmeal too.

[@acountrylife]

You are my kind of cranberry lover. Thanks for supporting cranberry farmers across America.

[@annafyfe8361]

Oh sweet Jennifer! I love LOVED this vlog! Longer length and full of great content! Your whole family is so precious and I miss y’all so much during your period of absence. You bring such joy to this 69 year old handicapped lady! Thank you for the work you put in for your subscribers to enjoy. Loving your latest cookbook and cooking my way through it! Love and prayers from your friend Melody in Texas ❤️🙏🏻❤️ 🤠

[@acountrylife]

Thank you Melody for sharing your kindness. Have a wonderful day!

[@countrymousesfarmhouse497]

I loved using the Prairie Priner with my older kids too. I can't wait until my littlest can use it. Galloping the globe is good too. Thank you for sharing lovely 💚

[@hopelk]

I love the Libby app! I've used it for years!...I love to ready the heavy books...historical biographies which are sometimes over a thousand pages!...but I'm older now are those are heavy so I listen to the audiobooks; they help put me to sleep if I'm having trouble there too! I especially like how they lend you books from your local library but you can look for books in other libraries in your State if your local one doesn't carry it...love the vids!!! Can't wait for harvest! Keep the Faith, Always, Hope

[@debbiegragg2299]

I have missed out where have y'all been I love your videos I miss Joe and the family

[@tamijoysisemore659]

That hash brown beef casserole thing looks amazing! I’m drooling

[@janw7536]

Glad to see another video. Always miss you when you’re busy and can’t post. Totally understand it though! BTW your Cranberry Nut Pie is amazing!

[@acountrylife]

Oh thank you!

[@teresazimmerman125]

Hi Jennifer, I just love your vlogs! God bless you and Warren and the kiddos!

[@lindaedwards9756]

From the south we look forward to fresh cranberries every fall. I can whole berry cranberry sauce each year. So much better than store bought . I think you correct about the jalapeño peppers getting those weird stripes, mine do too but doesn’t seem to hurt them much .

[@ifthecreekdontrise]

I freeze the jalapeños whole, in freezer bags. Whenever I need one, I grab it out and cut it while it’s still a bit frozen. It’s so easy like that.

[@debcross7162]

Love your videos and your family

[@robins5880]

My canner stays out all summer too, just finished green beans. If I don’t have a full load I add a jar or two of water. Always nice to have sterile water around for power outages or camping

[@beckymiller2185]

I always love your videos. I just wish you had time to post more often. ❤️

[@donnafurnas6663]

Great Job Joe! I will be waiting to here more reading

[@elainedomalewski4954]

Great video and l really enjoyed it.Can not wait to see harvest.

[@teresacarnes2271]

[@dianatennant4346]

That hash brown and meat casserole that you did looked really good to me will be trying that here shortly

[@barbseverino1278]

Great video and great kids.

[@susanr791]

Love both cookbooks & the newsletters!

[@hollyfink6168]

Got to try mini venison roasts. Problem is-getting the back straps from my husband. Sure, once I do, I’ll have to make them all the time. Congrats on the kittens!

[@gofftroop95]

Those lines/blemishes on your jalapeños are completely normal. It actually shows that they have some heat in them. I wait to pick mine until they have those brown lines. And if I need to buy them in the store I hunt for ones with those lines. More lines = more heat!

[@marilynmoncivais1973]

I really look forward to your videos. God bless.

[@debcross7162]

Amish had smaller green peppers 3/1.00 . I made 30 stuffed peppers to use for the winter, plus some for my. MOM who is 88.

[@rubytaylor4566]

Awesome content Ms Ruby

[@acountrylife]

Thank you kindly

[@kathygarnett5115]

[@myrrhandholly3704]

Good morning afternoon guys

[@cumberlandquiltchic1]

in western NC , smoky mtns, ONE green bell pepper is $2.00! one! green. and not in the best looking condition. i thought of that when you said that container would cost $2.99 or so. prices are so high and the quality is so low.

[@vetgmacatmomfl2055]

I love your harvest videos.❤️❤️

[@cynthiafrance6741]

always a joy to watch your videos, thanx for sharing

[@acountrylife]

Glad you like them! Thanks for watching.

Great job on reading Joe.

[@karenkissick6884]

Jennifer you look really pretty with your hair up....

[@acountrylife]

Thanks 😊

[@marydrew2583]

I admit I'm going back into your older videos and happily stopped on Emily's wedding! Which I hadn't seen. You looked fabulous in your sexy dress and Warren showed his fatherly pride: so handsome! Then there was a link to when he surprised her with being on one knee at a baseball game. The tears are still streaming. You have such a wonderful family. I'm a youngish widow and it was so touching! I'm going to hunt down more older videos. ❤️

[@acountrylife]

Those are some of my favorites, too. Thank you and God Bless.

Great video ❤

[@Kd-us6bx]

I loved this video 🙏❤️❤️🙏

[@lisablackwelder7590]

I wait to pick my jalapeños until they get those “blemishes”. I read somewhere that it’s an indicator of the heat level.

[@amyschmelzer6445]

It’s called corking. I have also heard that it means they are hot. Some people want corking and others think it’s ugly.

[@Mrsmadison45]

Jennifer excellent video

[@cathydecarles7084]

Jennifer the veggies looks so good And the children helping doing is great job they are never to young to learn to do chores And love how you all work together God bless you all 🙏🏻✝️☮️📿💗❤️🌹💙♥️🌷🐕❤️‍🩹💕💜

[@susnorth40]

Hi guys ! Busy season for you all, end of harvest can’t come quick enough I’m sure . Labour of love. I wish you a very healthy harvest my southern friends. What you been feeding those kids lol growing a lot :) Question : is that an inversion table in your laundry room ? I’m in the market for one, I just got a diagnosis of degenerated disk disease and wonder if you could share, if your happy with it, the brand. Peter’s clothing box, the t shirt with the circle rainbow he didn’t like, pink Floyd colours all the way. Cool shirt too bad lol ❤🇨🇦

[@yvettegerry9862]

Broccoli soup looks yummy 😊
