I don't practice any faith currently but I wouldn't trade having been raised Christian for anything, there are a lot of important values learned through it. Seeing your family raised in this way that is so contrary to what most people deem as normal by today's standards is heartwarming.

At times, you sound like you're run ragged. I feel empathy for you - so busy! (Ex farmer here, so I get farm life). I hope you get the rest you need. Beautiful family, may you all be blessed.

You're inspiring the rest of us to blaze our own trail. In the last few years we took our kids out of public school, started homeschooling, expanded our garden, started chickens. We're looking for a home with a larger property to expand our animals and food production. It's all overwhelming. But thanks for sharing how days aren't perfect. One step. One project at a time.

Every time I watch one of your videos, I think “this one is my favorite!” But this one is my very favorite! Bless the early morning seminary kids❤

[melaniebalzer]

Your videos have such a calming effect. It is a great pleasure to be able to watch them.

This is awesome! I admire you and your husband's way of raising your family. Ideally, I would love to live my life like this. Thank you for sharing your life with us!

Would you ever consider making a video about how your kids run their farm stand? I’m considering letting my daughter run one and would love to see how you do it 😊

If you want to make the brine and have it ready to put the veggies in right away, just take a small portion of the cool/ room temp water that you need, dissolve the salt in that and add it back into the rest of your water. That way, the salt dissolves but you don't have to wait for everything to cool all the way back down ☺️ hope this helps for next time.
Oh and you definitely don't come across as run ragged (Farmer here too) We only see little bits of your life. I hope YouTube can be an encouraging community for you bc you and your family are so vulnerable with us! 😊 Thank you for sharing!

That’s a lot to jam into a day and everyone makes it look effortless. 😄 You have a beautiful family! If the world modeled this, the world would be a better place. Blessings!

I have watched your channel so many times and you said seminary and I was so excited! I told my husband your members! I love that you put this video together and included the parts that really count.

Thanks for the video! We are on a half acre with a 2500 sq ft garden, will pick our final tomatoes and peppers Monday, 25° that night. I would love to have rabbits, chickens and pot bellied pigs but the wife says NO. SO, I sleep in until the sun has started doing it's thing. Those kids are wonderful! My son is 27, a geologist and works all over the country. I miss him. God Bless and stay safe.

This is so fun to watch a real day of a like minded mama. We also use the good and the beautiful and tuttle twins for homeschooling, and grow our food. Thanks for the video!

Thank you so much for sharing part of your life with us. I absolutely loved seeing your children dancing out in the field, it was great. I appreciate your kind spirit as well as that of your entire family. God bless you.

Loved the dance break!!! Something I do with my kids when taking a break from garden chores❤
