When I watched this video, I realized how wonderful you are as a mom, my mom is an alcoholic and she was divorced, and she was horrible to me. I had tears as I watched you spend time with your kids in that special 15 extra minutes before school and I hope that you realize how great of a job you are doing, God bless you and your whole family!
I agree that childhood chores are important but you're also teaching your children invaluable skills. I love that you're working alongside them! Thank you so much for letting us be a part of your family life. I look forward to every video.
I agree, thank you from me as well.
I agree with you both... Looking forward to seeing every single one, summer garden, and canning tips❤❤❤
It's so beautiful to see the love you shower all your children with. You know exactly what each of them needs. One needs a hug, one needs an encouraging word, one get a pat on the shoulder, one get a loving smile and one needs to have an adult conversation with you, and you manage to get that in, in the middle of everything you have to do in the morning. You are an amazing mother! Bless you! Have a good week!
Thank you!!!
Good morning! Anyone that says being a homemaker is not a job has never been a homemaker! You are like the Marines, you get more done in the morning than most people do all day. All blessings come from God and it’s wonderful that you give thanks everyday. I do also. I would be nowhere without His grace. Thank you for the lovely video. God bless you and your family.

Ruth Ann you are amazing.❤❤The gift you are giving your children is priceless. They may not know this yet, but when they are older they will recognize it as such and treasure these times. 💝
The simple mundane things are where the joy of living is. I love how you frame things like “Harrison “gets”to sweep or Elvin “gets”to wash dishes, because it is such a privilege to do these things. Not everyone is able to do simple tasks like this or they live in a place that they are not afforded a life where they could, and they would give anything to have these tasks to do. I try to express this to people I’ve known who complain about “having” to go to work, I gently say, “you could look at it like you “get” to go to work, 🤷♀️ what a blessing. As a person who became disabled and unable to work, I know I would be thrilled and grateful if I could go. It’s about perspective. I love that you live like this and are teaching this to your children. God bless and keep you all. ❤️🙏
This was such a wonderful video. I wish I could turn back the clock 40 years and teach my children as you are doing. I hope Your children realize how blessed they are. You are an awesome Mother.
My grandparents had the same principles of hard work. I remember as a child during the summer months being up before day light helping with chores. I did not understand the importance of it then. I am in my 50’s and I totally get it now. Thank you for sharing your life with all of us.
Thank you so much for your faithful weekly videos. So encouraging to work diligently and cheerfully...as to the Lord! I always feel somewhat lazy after watching one of your videos! Thanks again, and have a beautiful day! Blessings, Marie
Chores teach valuable life skills. More importantly, they teach time management, decision making and responsibility. You are raising mature, independent, caring young people who will grow into wonderful adults. Never apologize for that.
First of all, I love the upbeat music. I can't keep my toes from tapping along with it. Secondly, it is amazing to me how well organized you are. The idea of each child having their own responsibilities, and changing them around, is genius. They learn lifelong skills. They will always know how to work with a purpose and will always be dependable. To rise so early, do chores, play, prayers, shoved into such a short time is nothing short of remarkable. Well done, Ruth Ann. I love the music, the chores, the recipes, the Zimmerman's. We all love you. Merry Christmas to your family.
I always cry when I watch your videos. Your loving family is so heartwarming to watch and makes me appreciate what is important in life. Ruth Anne you are GOLDEN! Love your Prince Edward Island sweatshirt.
The piglets look like they’re in their Christmas jammies!
So good to see how you family learns the importance of taking care of all of the animals from the small cats to the large cows, they are all cared for. (Just wanted to let you know, the make ahead mashed potatoes worked so well and were enjoyed by all. Thanks)
Good to know!!!! Thank you!!!
With your family…childhood chores are not even chore like…the kids have animals of all sorts to greet and feed and gather from and/or milk! How fun is that!! Even on a really cold morning…wakes you up and sets you for the day…bonus…someone is making you a hot breakfast and your lunch is almost prepared for you! Your children are so very fortunate to have parents set such a marvellous example for them! I absolutely love Dave the donkey (wish we had more footage of him lol) and the pig family is just so so precious! Xxx
I love how y'all are raising your family... I grew up on a dairy, we milked 99 cows every am. Along with all the other animals my day started at 3.30am... still get up about the same time daily all these years later. [And do my farm chores]
My children were raised much like yours, with chores and responsibilities, oh how I wish more would do that these days!
Blessings ❤
I love how all your children have a purpose… building so much confidence… much needed in life.
Love your family Thank you for sharing your lives💜💜💜
❤ich finde das suuuuper schön....das Du Dir die Zeit nimmst...mit jedem Kind alleine noch Zeit zu verbringen ❤❤❤❤....und das gemeinsame beten im Kreise vor dem verlassen des zu Hauses ist wirklich sehr schön ❤❤❤
Lieb das Du die Kinder am Wochenende schlafen lässt❤❤❤❤
Makes me miss going to my Aunt & Uncle’s farm each school vacation! Off to the barn every morning to help my cousins for hand milking, gathering eggs, cleaning the pig pens and feeding all the animals❣️Love how your cats follow you to the barn. My cousins didn’t love their daily life as much as their winter & summer visitor cousins did, but we all agree how many great memories we have of those cold Iowa mornings & hot Iowa afternoons doing chores together. So happy I found your channel - pure enjoyment for this old gal🤗
You do an excellent job raising your children! If I can vote for next week's video, please get Elvin to show us the cast iron trick!!! Either way, I'm watching. Your cooking videos are also very informative!
You all work together,makes lite work ,thanks to your children and you mom ! God Bless all of you ! ❤❤❤❤❤
Bless you Ruthann. You’re a great mom!
I vote for the cast iron video! We would love to know the trick. I am always looking for antique pieces to use. We researched a company that sells pieces of this quality but they're insanely expensive! Thank you for sharing your routine!
I love that your kids school starts later in the morning. My kids get on the bus at 6:45 in the morning and get home at 3:45 pm.
I feel so badly for school children who have to wait for the bus when it's sub-degree weather here.
@@riverduck3 yeah that's why I drive them downhill and wait for the bus. We have a 800' driveway and I don't want them outside in the dark and cold waiting. Western NY winters are no joke.
I love the children learning and doing chores around the homestead. ❤❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing again. Tears came to my eyes as I remembered the times when our two children were home and I sent them out the door. Those were fond times for us as parents, but we are also proud of the adults they have become. Prayer is a vital part of your children’s lives that they will take with them through their adult life. Blessings to you as you continue to make that part of your daily routine ❤
IT HAS BEEN A PLEASURE WATCHING YOUR VIDEO'S THIS YEAR... I LOOK FORWARD TO SATURDAY MORNINGS FOR YOUR MESSAGE... PRAYERS FOR YOU AND THE FAMILY IN THE COMING YEAR
My wife and I have been watching your channel about a year now. We appreciate all you are doing and how you and your husband are raising your family in a Godly manner. We also are learning a lot and love our USA baking pan we discovered here! Please keep doing what you are doing!
Wow, thank you
I’m thankful you had a good trip to family. I love you sharing your chores. It is a well oiled machine. Those kids are a blessing. It is so good Mitchel can drive and takes them all to school. I look forward to seeing your videos. ❤
I was raised on a cattle ranch until I went to college. At times I complained about doing chores but the funny thing is that I missed it terribly. So now I am back on a small farm raising our own animals again. It's in my blood.
This is gold! Great instruction. I love Maxwell's special love for the cats ❤
'
Kendrick with his shirt half on had me giggling, very accurate morning.
Isn’t it though!!??
I look forward to the cast iron pan video! I have tried several times to get this correct, get frustrated with things still sticking and give up.
Thank you so much for sharing! What a joy to see you raising kids that are confident contributors to society and their life!❤
I was farm raised. Lots of chores before and after school. My kids had chores and if my bra doors cl.e visit, they get incorporated into the chores I'm doing.
But .without the !ord, we would have no Hope. So teaching and giving thanks and asking His protection has got to be a part of it all. With Him we can do all things,without we can do nothing !
Amen!
In my teens I got to spend two summers in Colorado Springs. I wanted to move there as an adult but settled for the Appalachian mountains instead of the Rockies. So good that you got to enjoy a week there with your daughter! God's Blessings to you all from Deborah in West Virginia!
Reminds me of my childhood on a dairy farm. My dad reared his own milkers. Jobs before school were the order of the day. And after school. We didn't need rocking to sleep. Great to see a family still teaching life time skills to your children. ❤
What you are doing is wonderful! I am one of six and we had a chore chart that changed every week. You are raising hard working responsible children!
I love this! My mom did everything and worked outside of the home, so I was never taught how to cook,clean or can or garden because she did it all and didn’t want interference. My husband had the opposite experience where his stepmother did nothing and the kids did everything. We made our kids help, but I wish I would have taught them more, as they are 18 and 22 now.
Thank-you for another down to earth video! I grew up on a farm much like this! I'm very thankful for all the lessons I learned doing chores etc. I'm a firm believer in family chores! Keep it up! And may God bless your family. Works like a well oiled machine❤ I know not every day will be perfect, but putting God at the beginning and ending and throughout the day makes ALL the difference
Thanks for sharing your wonderful family times, working, praying & being useful! Blessings to all 🤗💕🇨🇦
Praise the Lord for His Goodness to our lives! 😊
My husband had 2 baby cows ,they thought he was their mother ,they would come up the steps and moo for him to come out ,hahaha ! It was a playful time ! ❤❤❤❤
Wow, wow, wow!!! Love the bright lights in the barn, I bet that really helps in the early mornings!
It sure does!!!!
Great job mom. To the children, you are such a valuable member of your family. We are so proud of you!
Thank you Ruthann and family!🙂
It always makes me chuckle when the cat gets squirts of milk! ☺️
I honor it in how you bring up and love your children. They are each kind and responsible young people! They are a blessing as you are a blessing to them!
Strange story: On my birth certicicate my middle name was Ann. It's crossed out and Ruth is put in its place. I knew your name from the first video I watched.😁
Love and blessings! 💜
Well done RuthAnn. I was impressed that Hadassa was teaching as well. I was tired just watching. You ate teaching your children not to be lazy.
Are
@@gwenmurillo1093 thankfully there's an edit option on here ❤
I admire you and your family. The values you instill in your children will be with them forever. Thank you for sharing with us.
You are a blessing . families these days try to be friends with their kids and not being a mom are dad. You are a blessing to give a gift to you kids that they will be able to make it when they get out into the world. God is so good..
YES, PLEASE do the video next week on making new Lodge cast iron just like vintage, come on Elvin, you did fantastic last time you were on a video, my husband really enjoyed your info on the cold room! I have several pieces that I also purchased for a Christmas gift, they are nothing like my cast iron (that I purchased at garage sales 42 yrs ago & were old then!). I want my kids to love them as much as I do!!
Hi RuthAnn and sweet family! Yes, choirs were a part of my childhood and my children’s childhood. I too think it is important for children to have chores and accountably plus it gives them a sense of accomplishment.
Thank you for sharing your routine and lovely family with us.
Have a blessed weekend everyone!
I think you must mean chores? Unless you all get together and sing!
@@cynthiafisher9907 auto correct and I didn’t catch it, lol.
Thank you Ruth Ann. What a wonderful family you have you’ve been blessed. God bless you and your family ❤❤❤
The ginger, lemon and ACV is a great idea! I just went and made myself a cup to sip while I enjoy viewing the video UNTIL THE END 😂!
Thank you!!!! You’re my favorite!!!
I love seeing them feed the cat as they milk the cow 😂😂
The rotation of chores is extremely important so they understand each rool and gets that experience.❤❤❤❤
Your family is a gift during the hectic, stressful days out in the world. Once upon a time, I enjoyed that lifestyle. Hopefully, I will get back to it soon. Thanks for filling that time in between. You are an angel❤
Always enjoy your videos. I would love to see how you turn a Lodge pan into vintage pan. I'm still using my grandma's and I'm 71.
Love your videos to wake up to. I feel like their Nannie checking in on my grandkids. 😊
Love that!
Routine and responsibility is so important. I've told my Amish and Memonite customers they should offer classes to the English on the old ways of doing things, then I found your channel! Bless you and yours. 🥰
This is the most wonderful video. Thanks for all you do, in raising your children to know what it takes to make a wonderful life; and always giving thanks and glory to God in every you do.
Excellent!!! Thank you so much for sharing your lives with us. This is motivating to us!! I wish I'd had your thoughts and information to watch years ago!! The videos of the cat enjoying the warm milk is adorable every time!! Please tell the children thanks for sharing their morning with us! We always learn something from you!!
Your family is amazing, and such a blessing to us! Love watching your videos and so do my grands! Thank you Ruth Ann!
How lovely Ruthann that you get some time to yourself first thing in the morning. I so love watching you even though I never grew up on a farm and am not currently it has always been my dream sense a small child. So thank you for sharing your life. Yes to the cast iron video please! I watch every single video!
Thank you so much Ruth! Your insight to so many things you are able to teach us. You often seems to have just the right words, a simple tip to make so many things seem more simple and obtainable. You help take the fear out of trying new things, that before I thought I need to learn more before I dare try. You help in still confidence/ reinforcement to take that next steps.
Thank you for all the care you show to contine passing on the old ways of doing many, many things. 🎉🎉😊
I work all week have kids in school and I guess I am feeling alittle grumpy today husband and boys are hunting today so I have not smiled yet and watching David try to come into barn and cat drinksome raw milk really had me smiling!!! Great video!
This is absolutely beautiful! It's so nice to see love and appreciation for each other and appreciation for what you have. We could all learn a lot from you and your beautiful family. Thank you for sharing❤❤
I think it's great to see that you instill the principles of such great work skills and ethics into the children they will learn so much discipline and respect, you and Elvin are doing a great job raising your children! Also it would be great to see Elvin in more videos 👍🙂
I have a cast-iron pan that my mother gave to me new 61 years ago and it’s still going strong. I so enjoy your videos.😊
Oh i am so excited to see (whenever you get to it) the cast iron video! When i get new Lodge cast iron i can never get it right. I keep grumbling, "i need to get out my angle grinder or something. No matter how much i season it, this surface is not manageable!!!" My mom's skillets that she got for me at yard sales over the years are so much better!!!!
😊Your children are very blessed to have such a loving home and family.
I'm from Prince Edward Island, so nice to see you wearing a sweatshirt from there. I always enjoy your videos Ruth Anne.
We loved our visit to PEI this summer!!!
❤this! I’m from AZ and can’t imagine the cold mornings.
You get used to it. But it's essential to dress in layers when the weather goes below zero. I know AZ is very beautiful, but I don't know how well I'd do in the heat. I'd probably stay inside until after dark.
I stumbled upon your channel, but I've been very fascinated and encouraged. Thank you very much. I would love to try doing what you do on a daily basis And give it one good heck of a try to see if I could actually do it myself physically. Thank you again for all your inspiration. Encouragement and openness in sharing. How and what you guys do to make a living on a daily basis.❤❤❤❤❤
Love your life and family values, enjoy your videos so much.my children are grown with families of their own now ,makes me miss those years of when they were growing up.
I love that you utilize your laundry sink! We have a bucket milker and I am constantly struggling with cleaning and sanitizing it in my kitchen sink. A utility sink would be a great problem solver.
Hi Ruth Ann,
My homesteader friends and I love watching your episodes learning from you. We live on Prince Edward Island, Canada. We noticed you were wearing a PEI sweater. Did you come to PEI before you started your CZcams channel? We’d love to hug you if you come one day!! Keep up your good work helping make the world a better place! 🤩🌻❤❤
Yes, God is good. Thank you for sharing the video.
Chores teach responsibility which builds a work ethic & character that serves them throughout their lives. We had morning chores growing up (but it never made me a morning person. I still to this day hate mornings) & we didn't suffer one bit for it. As kids we grouched & grumbled but we survived. We have 3 boys & they have always had chores as did my brothers 2 kids.
I would love to volunteer on your homestead, working with the animals and kiddos would be a great experience!! Blessings from Ireland ❤️ 🇮🇪 🙏
Oooh! I hope you can talk Elvin into the cast iron video!! 😊
Thanks for sharing!!
YOU ARE SO BLESSED WITH YOUR BEAUTIFUL FAMILY
I LOVE THAT YOU HAVE NAMES FOR THE ANIMALS GOD BLESS YOU WITH THE BEAUTIFUL WORK THAT YOU ARE DOING WITH THE KIDS.
Looking at this video makes me miss my childhood so much, me and my siblings always did the exact same chores in the morning before school and evening, we were all so happy and had alot of fun, I think if all kids would grow up like this instead of looking at a screen al the time, we would live in a different world
Agree with you!!!
Oooooh! I’d love to watch and learn about that cast iron topic! I cook almost exclusively with cast iron- but I am noticing that my newer pieces just aren’t as favored as the old ones!
Thank you😮!
That is beautiful!
I really enjoy the DITL episodes! Thank you!
I just found your channel. New here. Im really enjoying this video. Definitely going to be watching more. I was born on a farm in IA on a farm. I really miss it. Brings back so many memories. Though i was daddys little girl n had no chore i sure learned alot.
Such a beautiful family. Please the cast iron video. I was gifted a new larger one and It needs some good seasoning.
Thanks!
You’re welcome and THANK YOU!!
Thanks for another great video! ❤
I love watching your family’s day routine
Powerful workers
Hope you convince Elvin for the cast iron video!!! 🙏🏻
Wow I see you are wearing a sweater that says prince Edward Island. That's where I live...by the way I love your videos. You make things very easy to understand..
We visited PEI this summer!!!! So beautiful!!!
😊. Oh PLEASE I hope your husband will show us how to make the cast iron the real deal again! Can’t wait!! 👏
Thank you. I am inspired.
Good morning! I hope your day is filled with joy and laughter through your chores.
Good Morning Ruth Ann and Family 😊 ❤
Your family is an inspiration! Love you all as family! Merry Christmas!
Same to you!
Good morning i just love watching your videos on a Saturday morning very calming thanks for sharing your family with us ❤
