Hi Jessica. I don't have a homestead but I've been wasting less food and started to appreciate my family more since I started watching your channel a year ago. I wanted to thank you for that. Greetings from Germany. Mandy

Jessica.... a virtual representation of the MOST important 'job' in the world... wife & mother, raising a healthy, critical-thinking, self-sufficient, loving family. God bless you, Jessica.

Don’t even bother yourself with the critics! Your children being self guided and independent is AMAZING!! Most people’s kid have no idea how to interact with other people. All these kids are addicted to electronics and they lack work ethic and self esteem. Your children are going to be successful!! You are doing a great job as a mom and educator!!!

It’s amazing how organized you and your children are doing home schooling. Hannah is growing so fast, she even helps. It’s so nice how well mannered and helpful your children .

I rarely comment, but want to put out to you how impressed I am with all you do. My children are all adults now as of September 07. 18- 42 years old. I have provided home child care/preschool to children since the late 70's. Have been asked to teach kindergarten and first grade for the young loves I care for. We are nature -based. Raising meat birds, laying hens, pigs, turkeys, and are bee keepers. I am also a master gardener, and grow a ton and a half of organic food to serve the children in my daily life, I love following your channel. I am not on instagram, but any curriculum you might be able to share on this platform will be totally appreciated. Thank you for all you do/share.

I completely agree with the way you homeschool your children since I did it the same way. My youngest just graduated with a degree in Physics and math. My other children also have full college degrees and all graduated with honors. And all of them are employed in the areas they studied in college. I do believe in letting children learn to think for themselves.

I love the sweet little kisses when you fixed your daughter's hair. So precious!

I've seen homeschooling children far exceed those who attend a public school in regards to actually knowing the material. Both of my employers children received full rides to major universities after using the same material you do. So, home schooling, self guided, does work! Great job Mom.

This year, for a number of reasons, we have sent our grade 6 and grade 4 boys to in-person school. One of the reasons being that I felt I wasn’t able to do enough for them due to my health challenges. Well isn’t it the most heartening thing to see, in the beginning of the year assessments, they are testing at the top of their classes! They are quite dismayed by the chaos and disobedience in the classroom. Looking forward to bringing them back home next year.
Thank you for the beautiful video. You are such an inspiration to me. God bless you and your family. ❤

How can Hannah be big enough to help in the kitchen already?! 😉😄 So cute.

I no longer have young children at home, so my days look different than yours. There is still a similar rhythm and seasonal pattern though. My daily home rhythm is around myself, husband and adult son. We have ducks and chickens to take care of year round, a large garden and the preserving it results in.
I enjoy having my grandchildren in our home as much as possible and invest in their lives.
You are a great example of a godly mother and wife. Blessings to you and yours.

You are such an amazing woman, I adore the way you think and what you do seems so purposeful in every way. TY for sharing your life with us. Enjoy your week.

[OneLoveUnity]

I don't like making comments on YT but truly, watching this is just beautiful. I only have 4 children and it's hard work to homeschool and take care of the home even without a homestead. I would love to have at least 1 more child, and this video is a blessing. Seeing your hard work, and how the work pays off, watching how much your babies love you and one another... it Can be done and it's beautiful. God bless you and your family. You're doing an amazing job!

[annamaria]

You are such a good mother Jessica. I'm 66 years old and haven't had kids at home in years but you still inspire me in everything you do. Your family is blessed. Anna

[kaesmomFitz]

I'm always amazed when people talk about the wrongs they see with homeschooling when they themselves have never experienced homeschooling.

[BoppaGram]

You have added another fine helper in Miss Hannah! Whatever videos you want to give us on whatever subject, whenever you have time, will be wonderful. Don't worry about us, your viewers, because it is a pleasure to see you and your family working together as a finely tuned unit each time we join you. Thank You!

[claudialeger]

Thank you for sharing your day. Your patience and goal setting abilities are amazing, Jessica. Your forward thinking has allowed your older children to thrive. It’s beautiful to see. Boredom is seldom productive so no room for it in your busy life.

[delindawilliams]

I can't believe that Hannah's almost 2 years old. 😮Time goes by really fast.
There will always be people who object to even the amount of time you blink, so don't let that bother you. Do what's best for you and your children. I pray that God will continue to guide you every step.
