Ruth, you are such a treasure, you do not know. Today I woke up...and thought..Saturday! Ruth...I put my puppy in her cage so I can enjoy moments of bliss w you. I will share this in person w my mom, who is 101...we have watched many of your videos together, , ,

You are providing your children a wonderful childhood. I smiled when your daughter pulled out her book while stirring the white sauce. 😊

My mom is home with the Lord these days and my daddy is 87. What we call homesteading they called life. They had me later in life but I grew up much in the way you are raising your family. Now I am raising 2 of my grandbabies as much that way as possible. I think it makes for better humans. LOL Love your channel.

They say it takes 21 days to form a new habit...at almost 70 I am claiming that thought as I continue on homesteading and prepping.

Great video! My husband retired and has decided to take over making supper which is nice but involves a learning curve. This week we mastered meatloaf and hot roast beef sandwiches with mashed potatoes and gravy. It has been fun, but definitely a slow process. The biggest thing we have conquered is not adding too much salt. I always tell him you can always add more, but you can't take it out. Your videos are great lessons for someone learning to cook. Your children are such a great help! Thank you for showing your patience in breaking things down to being simple to do.

That's a lovely video capture (at about 10:35) when you were boiling the chicken broth. The steam from the pot, superimposed on the sunshine in the background, looks like you are cooking a pot of flames! Gorgeous!

I love how your daughter is reading while cooking❤ I'm from a family of huge readers!

It’s like going back 70 years and watching my mama cook. Except mama, for a family of nine, used about one fifth of the meat you used and three times the beans. Meat was hard to come by. We never minded. It was delicious. 😊

LOVE a girl who can cook & read at the same time!! (@ 14:35 min)

Best advise ever, I did this with breakfast biscuits, now I don’t even measure! It truly does become second nature. Thank you

I am so impressed at how you have taught all your children to do everything around the homestead. They will never be helpless.

[oldnanz]

You are such a great teacher. I love the way you incorporate the children into your cooking and cleaning up meals. Outside chores they never feel like they’re the only one doing chores.
Thank you for sharing your methods. I hope more young mothers fallow your advice. Teach them young and they will have the knowledge for a lifetime. The old say give a man a fish feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish feed him for life. I probably have it not exactly C right but you get the picture.
May you and your family be Blessed.
May your daughter and her new husband be Blessed. When is the new baby coming?

I am a single working mom but have been making your sandwich bread the past few weeks. We love it and my teen boys use it for their school lunches, with dinner or a snack! I enjoy your channel. Thanks so much!

[sharonaustin]

Love the easy way you recognize and acknowledge that you teach tasks by keeping the children on track.

Our favorite homemade dressing is the Dorothy Lynch recipe that uses tomato soup, oil, vinegar, sugar, water, salt, pepper and celery seed. I make a quart jar almost weekly and we use it for salads, to dip veggies and my oldest likes it as a sweet and vinegary chip dip/sauce! Wedding blessings for a long and happy marriage to your daughter!

[lindatoews]

My family loves homemade noodles, they’re all grow and gone but, some of my best memories are of making homemade noodles with the kids. I love watching the busy antics of Ruth’s little boys, takes me back to better days. 😊

Happy Saturday with a sweet video from RuthAnn!! Yummy winter recipes. Loved seeing Hadassah multi-tasking with reading her book while she stirs something on the stove...just made me smile to see this lovely young woman, so skillful in the kitchen! At my age my multi-tasking days are pretty much done for, but I love listening to an audiobook if the recipe or chore isn't too involved. Enjoy your pre-wedding happy busyness! Thank you for your faithfulness in creating educational and heart-warming videos for your fans and friends! Blessings, Marie

When you're young, like you, it's easier to master just one thing at a time. But I'm OLD. And I need to pick and choose what I learn for the rest of my short life. I DO love ALL your videos, but I'd love to learn how to master the rest of my short life.

Little sour cream in the bean soup makes it even nicer.

Your children will leave your home with way more skills than most of us had a young adults! Congratulations for raising children that will be self sustaining and productive citizens!🙂❤
