Love how you get the little ones involved. Always said "If you don't let them "help" when they are little, they won't HELP when they are older."
I admire the way you keep your baby close. It does make a difference. I'm 73 and so miss those days. AND....you are very organized. You rock !!! Bless you and your family.
I’m an RN, IBCLC so my entire career is working with moms and babies. I have to say, your thoughts on keeping baby close to mom are exactly what I teach mothers too! Keeping them close is a huge asset to their development!
For sure ! I adored wearing my baby when he was little ! He’s now a very smart and loving 8 year old :) it will break my heart when he no longer wants “ mama snuggles “
Love watching! The little fellow peeking around you is so cute
You are amazing. Such a dynamo. And such a good mama. I love the way your oldest came up and hugged you from behind. I actually said "awwww" out loud. And babies love to be worn! Being in contact with mama is so good for their development and well-being. Watching you and your children is so beautiful. :):):)
Oh my goodness my 2 year old tells me “yes sir “ all the time it makes me happy even though she gets it wrong 💕💕
You are one of my favorites to watch. So full of knowledge and wisdom. Kind and calm. It's very therapeutic for me to watch you momma!! Thank you for sharing!!
Jessica, I love how you give so much time to your little ones while you get all your kitchen, school work done. You are really a patient loving Mama. Your children have beautiful loving memories that will last a lifetime. May Our Lord continue to bless you & your family. ❤
Well done Grace a young businesswoman in the making. Mom and Dad must be proud of you xx
So busy! You have quite the little camera ham there, how cute he is and loves to help his mommy in the kitchen! I adore watching you interact with your children in such an easy manner! Thanks for sharing another day!
The Native Americans used to have their babies on their backs all the time I've even seen and heard that people in other countries that do it to like in Africa so it's not an uncommon thing, you do what works for you and I think you're doing great as a mom.
I admire you so much. Thank you for sharing. I'm glad y'all are all feeling better. Y'all have an amazing day. 💙

I absolutely love your videos. You are an amazing woman and mother. You’re very inspiring.
I love you stop whatever you’re doing to give a hug or kiss, whenever they need one. I enjoy your parenting style. I’m older, 61, and your style is do refreshing in this day & age. I’m glad I found you! Thanks to That 1870’s Homestead. 😊
I really like the way you raise your children they are growing up to be good people they won't be wasteful like a lot of people are these days
Love your patience with the children. Making them very much a part of all that is happening....so important 👍🏻♥️
My hat is off to you!! Wow, amazing how well you have organized, disciplined and managed your household!
I look forward to your videos so much! I don’t know how you do all you do...I’m exhausted just watching you. Your children are simply beautiful ❣️
Aww! Look at that cutie peeking from behind. Thanks for taking time for us!💕
I love the little photo bombs!! What a precious family!
Oh Jessica, I am so thankful I found your channel! I am a young mom trying to learn how to steward my home well, and you are proving to be a great Titus 2 woman in helping me (and many like me!) learn how to do this with wisdom and love. To know you in real life would be such a joy. Thank you for sharing your wisdom here!
Wow, where do I start. So many tips and tricks! I’m a mom of 4. My youngest is almost two and oldest 18. I learn so much every time I watch your videos, but this one in particular I felt had so many tips. I love fallowing your day. Thanks for all your time and hard work! Those babies sure a lucky to have such a kind and loving mama!!❤
He is playing peek a boo with us so cute
Baby wearing was a life saver for us. Going to use that tomato trick for sure! Thank you for sharing your tips 😊 Have a great day!
I wish you could have been my mother I'm 60 years old and my childhood still haunts me god bless you
Great bonding time with your babies......nothing wrong with that
I am a mum with grown up children. I enjoy watching your videos as I work in my kitchen. I am getting some great ideas on how to be more resourceful. Thank you for sharing your life with us. Your children are precious and such good helpers.
I found your channel just yesterday and cant stop binge watching. All of yall are so inspiring. I love the tips and tricks you use and share with us for many things. I think its amazing to see your daughter sewing and wanting to start a business for herself. I know we didnt have but ONE option when it was time to eat. That was great addition to the end of the video. I cant wait to see more videos. God bless.
You must sleep really good at night!!!!! I tired from jut watching!!! I'm on the other side of raising five children so I know! Your family is such a blessing to watch. Blessings to you from a fellow Ohioan!!!!!
I find you the most Amazing woman Mom you talk to us like we're friends, and show us your amazing makes, I've made the apple sauce you make oh my delicious 😋 please keep it coming. I love how you have your children do daily chores helping in the kitchen and life skills I did the same, baby's close kiddies around your feet I cherished hose days my youngest is 9 and is always wanting to contribute and help xx
I love how the kids feel the need to hug and get loves while you're cooking. Mine do the same and it irritates me because I loose my train of thought. I might think twice about that in the future after seeing this.
Love on your babies while you can.
Thanks for taking the time to include so many tips on how to be low waste with your resources and use every last bit of something! 🙂
Yes! This has been one of my biggest takeaways this week. I'm hooked! The Lord bless you Jessica and your very precious family 🥰💕
I bought the ergo after you let me know that’s what you have! My baby girl loves being close to me! She was having crazy anxiety when I would leave her on the floor or in a bouncer when I would leave the room to go to stir food in the kitchen or any other task. Now she never has to be without me and she’s a happy little pumpkin! I’m a happy mama who can get so much done! Thanks for the tip!
Love watching your videos. I love freezing jalapenos sliced in half and making poppers with them throughout the winter.
Your a fantastic mom and You are doing a good job with them all ❤ and You are such a warm person love your video's many love from another mom here in Belgium ❤
Thank you so much!
I’m excited to see your green house build and just how you put that all to work. Love watching your videos. You truly inspire me
I never gave mine a choice if she didn't like what I fixed. Nor have I given my hubby another choice if he was not thrilled with what I cooked ❤. He learned to eat lots of things as did my daughter.
Look at those bright eyes peeking our from behind you ! :) I love what you did with the frozen tomatoes,. tfs 😘🐤💐🌵🐣🌷🐇☔🏜️🧁🌞🌼💗
You are such a sweet and amazing mother! I love your videos! Gracie keep up the great work!!
So glad to see you again ,missed seeing your family,l feel always inspired after your videos,makes me want to do something too❣️
I love seeing that little one peeking out from behind you. So cute.
Hello from Ontario Canada!! I've been binge watching a lot of your video's and find them very informative. yYou have a great way of teaching and telling stories that I find so very relaxing. Saying that I no longer have small children but I enjoy watching your interatactions with your children and it brings quite a few memories of my own. I do not have the space for a garden at the moment so try to buy a lot of my fruits and veggies in bulk from local farmers. I've always done the bulk of my food preservation by freezing as well as some specific fermentation products. This year you've given me that extra push I needed, to buy a canner as well as a dehydrator. You really are an inspiration and I'm truly greatlful for all the information you share!🥰
You are the Best Mom I ever seen, You are Brave too. Don't worry what other people say. Be yourself
When you get to be a mother of 7 you've definitely earned the right to do as you please and have considerably more experience and knowledge than those with less kids. As a mother of 1, I would personally never question you despite being a teacher because I just don't have your experience to judge or even ask because it's none of my business.
So cute with baby ben sleeping on your back through the hustle and bustle. I agree the best place for the children is being close. Society implies that its poor parenting to do that but like you said ‘do what works for you’. I loved how the other children came in for hugs. It was so lovely. John-john helping out lol he loves that camera. Such a good helper
You're a great mom! I love that you wear your baby. 😍
You always doing amazing job and your kids are wonderful and following your plan . Have a lovely and joyful weekend .
God bless you ,
You are AMAZING! God bless you!!
I am like you at the end of summer I run out of steam and freeze my whole Tomatoes. I take them out January can them I got 6 quarts of Tomato juice. Very Happy about that. Thank you very much , I did not know to run them under hot water they peel off. I Alway balance them 2 minutes and put into very cold water. A wonderful time saver. And I did not know to dehydrate the tomato peels then run thur the blender for powder. Love this idea. And make a tomato paste too. Love when you make your videos. I Alway learn something from you. Wonderful your daughter wants to start a little business. Congratulations
I just love your videos and family. I’m learning so much. Glad you’re back we missed you. Be blessed.
Love watching your videos and following along with your stories on instagram! Learning loads for my home & heart and future child rearing!
I love seeing you with your baby on your back! I have a nice carrier too, but it really bothers my neck and back. We pretty much just use ours for hiking. My awesome husband wears it. I wish I could.
I'm just getting to know your channel. Really enjoying following along with you. We are just starting our family, two little boys (2.5yr, 6 mos) and working on building a garden. Plan to homeschool when they are bigger. Hope to have many children, so I feel a kinship with your family. Thanks for sharing. ❤️
In South Africa we call that type of carrying “abba”. In Africa usually a big towel or cloth is used, no baby carriers. In Africa you make do.
Also, the movement experienced when on mum’s back is great for vestibular development!
Uline has canning lids, that’s where I ordered mine last summer and they work really well 😊
Babies have been growing up on the backs of their Momma's since the beginning of time.
Such a happy helper!!!
You are a busy mom and I love how you take time with each of your kids. They are good kids and will bless you immensely as time passes. God bless you all! 🙏
I don’t know how you do it. Amazing job! 💙💙💙
Super fun to watch your day.
You are a blessed wonderful woman. Good job on all your beautiful cooking
Around here it is common to serve chili on top of spaghetti. They call it "spaghetti red" and it is served with dill pickle slices, raw onion, and saltine crackers.
gracie could sew and sell jar covers fr covering ferment same size as her wipes which could be sold as washable toile paper too good luck sista x
I’m not a big jam or jelly person but the finished project always looks so beautiful. Love your display of canned goods very colorful kitchen
I had to freeze half a bushel of fresh peaches. I was ill for about 3 weeks so did the next best thing. I recently thawed some of the peaches and made peach sauce. Just as good as applesauce. Next I will try peach jam. So happy to see you making grape jelly. Thanks for sharing this video.
❤ Hi! I got your YT from Meg Hollar 😊. Great tip on slipping tomato skins🎉 ive got several pounds from a few summers back i REALLY need to process them out.
Just me and im getting about 4 eggs a day till August, then as much as 10 expected 😂
I love the baby on the back! When my daughter was born 28 years ago we had a Jerry pack made for babies. I loved carrying her on my back. She loved being on our backs because she could see what we see. And no it didnt impare any development.
I alway learn something from you, thanks.
It’s so cute little man pick around.
I saw a video from you yesterday that wasn't this old and now this one on how to use the tomato skins...and here I was tossing in the compost.
I just love your family!!! More families need to take the hint and work more closely together. It is a cold world out there and we all need to learn to rely on each other. Did you go to school to be an educator? I have not followed you very long and I'm sure you may have shared it in some of your other videos. What does your husband do when he is at work?
Made my way over here from the every little bit counts challenge.. week 3? To see how you make jelly!! The baby is sooo cute on your back hanging out.. he is chatty.. I love it! And to see how big he is now!
Love the peekaboo around you
How can we send you a gift for Mother’s Day? My wife and I are 69 years old, and we admire you and your family so much!
You are so kind, but you don't need to do that. Your gift to me is that you watch my videos. I truly appreciate it ❤️
Country Variety Store( bellefontaine) has both size canning lids in bulk if you have not found them reasonably priced!
Let us know when Gracie opens up her store. I'm having a baby and I would love to order some cloth diapers from her. ❤
Never thought of defrosting in the oven
I have an Etsy store and would love to support her store.
I love your videos and love the popsicle mold glad you put it in your amazon list there are so many I was like how in the world am I going to find that quickly? In my cart now. How did you strain the grape juice? I saw you put it in a metal funnel was there a wish mesh or something that I missed? Oh and your cooking demo's are inspiring me to be more productive in the kitchen so thank you for that.. today cooked 3 pounds of turkey burger in bacon grease, saved the grease added it to water and cooked 2 pounds of long grain rice for the deep freezer along with that burger. We are only a family of 2 usually but it makes it easier to menu plan if I have food in the freezer already cooked.. we use to be such fast food junkies because I couldn't answer the daily question "What's For Dinner" now I keep prepped food so I can say Spaghetti or would you rather have?? Gives husband something to look forward to at the end of sometimes stressful days. Anna In Ohio
Would love to buy cloth paper towels from Grace. Let us know what her Etsy store is. Love everything you do.
I love you carring the youngest on your back its a way of inculding him and he phots bombs like a prop.
Gracie needs to come to my house and teach me how the use my serger and you need to come to teach me how to garden and can!
use the pink sure jell and the flavor is great
| GREENHOUSE | Greenhouse will be excellent!
wow 😳 love your popsicle container!!! do you have a link for this?? many thanks.. BLESSINGS
U are a super mom,,
How lovely! Thanks for the tip on freezing tomatoes raw, very helpful. Oh I wanted to ask you what size Berkey is that on your counter?
It's the travel size. We are hoping to upgrade soon.
@@threerivershomestead oh wow that looks so big. I am trying to decide which one to buy for my family currently. Good to know that you can get by with a smaller size. Thank you for the response! ...Christina
Love these videos🙌🙌🙌 what water bath canning pot would you recommend..i think I'll start there ..new to canning..
I have a Ball brand water bath
Maybe Gracie could make burp cloths to expand her business. All mom's need these.
How long did you boil the grapes for to make the juice?
Where do you get your grapes? You’ve used them in quite a few videos, you must get a bunch....😂😉😇
We get them from the Amish
Jessica, I messed your response and can't find it. Can you tell me again about your low acid tomatoes please. I promise I won't miss it
Have you tried dehydrating peppers?
Hot peppers, yes! We typically dehydrate and make powder from them. I actually have a bunch of dried cayennes that need ground up. I have never done it with bell peppers though.
Is the popsicle maker in the Amazon store front?
If not I will go put it there right now 😊
Have you heard of
Pomona pectin ?
I use it. Basic ratio for most is. 4 cups mashed fruit. to. 1 cup honey.
And you can do a double batch.
I have some Pomona's in my cupboard, but I get varied results when I use it to make jelly. It doesn't always set for me. I think I am using it wrong. But I love Pomona's for making my dairy-free yogurts.
@@threerivershomestead I don't use a standard measuring spoon. I use a regular Tablespoon and round it instead of level the spoon.
Therefore it is more product being used.
I also use it to make grape jelly, as well as strawberry, cherry, blueberry, blackberry. etc.
@@peggykush6972 I will have to try that. Thank you!
@@threerivershomestead dairy free yogurt?.. can you share the link for that? I can't seem to locate that one...LOVE YOUR VIDEOS ❤
Trying Pomona for first time… nervous lol I always get nervous on first batches… any tips?
Oh I had one more question, you don’t have any problems with you jams or jellies setting properly when you double the recipe? I have wanted to do that every year but am too afraid of ruining the whole batch because the pectin package always say do not double. Maybe I will be liberated of that restriction?
I have had issues following the no pectin/Ball canning recipes and doubling. I haven't had issues with the pectin box recipes. This one turned out great (Sure Jell)
@@threerivershomestead also wonderful to know! Wow learned so much today with your inspiration. Thank you!!
Can I just build a house or get an RV on your property and learn from you 🤣
❤️
I noticed you guys had a water filter in the background. Is that the Berkey? My husband and I are trying to figure out which one to buy, but had read a few negative reviews on them.
Yes. We love our Berkey!
I know this is an older video, but you can make your own water filter. Look it on CZcams. It's not hard. Hope this helps.
Have you ever drained strawberries just to make jelly without the seeds?
I have never tried that
what kind of grapes do you grow?
Unfortunately we don't grow any ourselves right now. The Japanese beetles killed all our vines a few years ago. I purchase Concord from the Amish to preserve.
Can you give the approximate amount of grapes that you used?
Approximately one gallon
