Yes yes yes! Love when you mentioned "first world problems". Trying to raise our kids to be content and grateful for what God blesses us with. No complaints, just thanksgiving ❤️
I saw that too! When my kids did that, they always immediately started pulling stuff off the door shelves so I had to train them not to open the doors.
Biscuit dumplings are the ONLY way. Haha love this and great tip on freezing. Another tip for cleaning flour up along with that amazing bench scraper is the NORWEX mesh cloth. It’s great for all things hand washing and picking up butter and flour. And it can be put in dishwasher if needed or laundry. :)
My husband loved chicken and rice soup. I usually boil the chicken and use the water for the soup. I may have to roast the chicken next time and so dumplings instead of rice. I like watching you cook. I cook a lot from scratch but fun to watch how other people cook. Also! I LOVE your kitchen!
I’m team biscuit dumpling also😂. Once again, many thanks for your time and content. Love your use of “first world problem”…used to say exact same thing to remind our kids (and ourselves) when they were growing.
Never get tired with your videos.I love watching your cooking.something about these that is calming.thank you.I learn so much.praying for the baby to feel better
I have loved every one of your videos. I can’t wait to try your biscuit dumplings and John’s grandma’s meatloaf recipe is on the menu for tonight! Thanks again!
Could have very easily been a swap of the tongue, but a tip from a PreK-12th school receptionist who does printing for the building- cut, then laminate the cards. Cut them out and place with, if the laminator seals well and close to edges, like 1/8-1/4” between each card. Then laminate and cut again. It seals the edges of every item you laminate and greatly increases durability of that item. (Works for literally any shape. We do cutout Bible stories and other things like leaves and art projects too bc lamination seals in glitter.) Just a tip, hope this helps anyone doing lots of homeschool lamination items ❤
Hope you’re all feeling better!! I made “John’s Grandma’s Meatloaf” recipe last night using a mix of ground beef & lamb & oh my goodness it was the best meatloaf I’ve ever made! I also added half a chopped onion. This will now be my go to recipe from here on out :) Thanks so much for sharing!
Love your videos they are very relaxing to watch. Your soup looks delicious. I make meatloaf a couple different ways but my favorite is a barbecue meatloaf.
I get so disappointed every time your videos end because I have to wait a whole week for a new one!! I love how you cook. I hope you get to feeling better!
My mom's dumplings were more like pie crust than biscuits. She said they were very 'short'. She used either shortening or lard. She rolled the dough out & she cut them into squares or rectangles or diamonds or triangles, whatever shape she felt like making. She thought drop dumplings were horrible & wouldn't make them like that. Also, when making the soup, she would break the largest bones in half so that the marrow would cook into the soup. Her whatever & dumpling soups were always awesome.
I just made the soup tonight. I tweaked it a little bit but it was awesome. It really reminded me of my chicken pot pie in soup form. I make a biscuit topping for the pot pie so it was very similar
@@HopewellHeights it's 2 cups of farina and 6 eggs.stir well,pat down.let sit maybe 3-5 min.a regular teaspoon full into you're chicken soup stock.let boil for 15 to 20 min.very good
Enjoying your videos immensely, even though you eat very differently from the way my family does. I appreciate your insight on how to insert necessary life activities into the most important task, which is mothering. Your kitchen, and house in general, are beautiful. I am curious about your kitchen layout. Have you ever considered doing a video on how you designed your kitchen, layout dimensions, appliance placement etc., how you feel it works for you, and if you had it to do over again, what you would change?
Thank you so much for sharing about the book for reading. I also have 1 of my 10 children having a big struggle wanting to read and having patience to. I think that book would be amazing for her to really get into phonics much easier!
We use biscuit dumplins in blackberrys and blackberry juice, same with grape and grape juice in a pot as if making chicken dumplins. You just add sugar , some butter and a dash of vanilla if you want , delicious
Thank you for your video. I love your honesty and integrity. You are a wonderful example of realistic motherhood. Your channel helps make motherhood more mainstream hopefully encouraging more women to feel good about their choice to also stay home to raise their kids.
I have made so many healthy changes for my family thanks to you and I make so so much more from scratch ❤.... also your hair looks absolutely gorgeous what do you use on it xx
Thank you for another beautiful video, your style of both cooking and homeschooling (and child rearing) is sooo similar to mine ☺️ The soup looks amazing, I’m going to add this to the repertoire. Please tell me where you got that gorgeous huge white bowl you had the cooked chicken in??
Secret stories worked very well with my daughter that has dyslexia and auditory processing disorder. So if it works well with kids that have a reading disability it will work wonders with kids that don’t.
I like how you said you cut the veggies small so the kids don’t pick them out, that’s so true cause I usually cut them bigger so they can pick things out if they don’t like something thinking hopefully they will eat the other things but your right I’m helping them pick them out when I cut them big, duh… genius now I’ll cut the veggies small!
Also learning to just cook healthy nutrient densed food and just serve my kids over and over knowing that they eventually will learn to eat what I make then so I don’t have picky eaters!
I love your channel! You process your own hogs? How about your own chickens? Is there any chance on doing a video on this subject? We are definitely interested. I know CZcams has guidelines about these things. I would enjoy a chat about this process. Thanks so much for sharing!
It was my husbands grandmas, it’s rusted on the inside so I don’t actually use it - I just like having her things in my kitchen, she was a wonderful lady! ❤️
They are just wrong😂😂😂😂 My chicken dumpling soup is different. Like you I have always liked using roasted chicken but I make drop dumplings and my main veggies are chopped mushrooms and some spinach. While I still mince up onions, celery and a single carrot they are much smaller chunks than yours so that they pretty much disintegrate when done cooking. My kids would be always compete to see who had the most interesting shaped dumpling (mixed to the same consistency of drop biscuits). When the kids were young I transitioned to the less traditional veggies as a way to expand their veggies consumption beyond the standard 5.
I'm celebrating a $30k stock portfolio today I started this journey with $4k have invested on time and also with the right tearn now I have time for my family and the life ahead of me
But fat n carbs is not a complete diet. (Salt pork is a hunk of fat with a bit of meat attached) They survived but we want our families to thrive. Eggs, cheese & meat for the win! Pioneers also had a lot of problems in childbirth that could have been prevented by adequate nutrition that’s very hard when ur nomadic and then scraping out a life from the dirt. They sacrificed in ways they didn’t even know they were choosing.
I see you are wearing a support band. Is that something you had to do with any other pregnancies? I am 28 weeks with #4 and I feel like I am falling apart lately. My other 3 pregnancies were easy-breezy but this go round I am feeling it! Thanks for sharing!
Yes I totally forgot I had it on while filming and then forgot to say something when I edited the video. I started feeling a lot of pelvic pressure with baby #3 so I wish I’d have started wearing one then. I wear it when I’m on my feet a lot and it is so helpful! Just a few hours a day
@@HopewellHeights with my third, who was over 9 pounds at birth, and that’s with me losing more weight than I gained in this pregnancy so I can imagine what she would have weighed had I been able to eat- I kept having to hold up my belly when walking for at least the last month. I literally felt like she was falling out of me. I’m only 5-4 lol They probably had these pregnancy bands back in 89 but I’m not sure about that, as my midwife didn’t even suggest it, and she was on top of things always. Now that I think about it though, that baby she was again also pregnant at the same time, several months behind me, and had hyperemesis gravidarum so at my birth, she was having to go into the bathroom and throw up-like a number of times. Having had HG for almost all my babies, I felt bad for her but she just kept sipping on Ginger Brew and nibbling crackers. I couldn’t have done it I don’t think! #whatwouldwedowithoutmidwives
Yes yes yes! Love when you mentioned "first world problems". Trying to raise our kids to be content and grateful for what God blesses us with. No complaints, just thanksgiving ❤️
Yes! So many poor souls would love to have the daily dilemmas we do 🙏🏼
I was just googling this the other day! "Did people in the past eat the same meal every day?" pretty much.
This kind of video is never boring ❤ despite how many of them I have already watched. So big thanks 😊
Thank you! ❤️
Love these videos. That baby is having a time of his life with the fridge door😂
And I love the kitchen layout ❤
Haha yes it’s his latest trick, opening and closing the fridge!
I saw that too! When my kids did that, they always immediately started pulling stuff off the door shelves so I had to train them not to open the doors.
@@HopewellHeightsworse thing about leaving the fridge open…..cost a lot of energy recooling the inside…..

Thank you!

Oh that sounds delicious!
I make the same kind of breakfast "omelet." They are so great because you can throw in whatever veggies, cheeses, and meat you have.
Hope your darling kitty has a warm barn to sleep in at night. Can't wait to see the food storage area.
I love lots of natural sunlight, too!😍
Such a game changer when you spend lots of time in the home!
You have 1 lucky family! Love these videos. What a cute little guy. ❤💚

Enjoyed the video
Your biscuit recipe is THE BEST EVER
Thank you for showing us. I'll order. She is very auditory but big colorful simple cards may help. She reads but it is very hard.
Keep at it momma, keep searching. I feel ur pain-ur helplessness.
See my comment above for info.
It’s tough when you have one with special needs but there’s usually a creative solution to help them! ❤️
Sour dough everything is the best😊 my kids love chicken and dumplins too❤ biscuit dumplins are what I make too... like my mom does.😊
The ultimate comfort food!
Holy cow..that soup looks delicious!!!
It’s our fave as far as soup!
Hi! I am commenting from my husbands account again(: I just love your videos and way of living. It is such a goal of ours! Fellow trad Catholic😊

You process your own hogs?
How about your own chickens?
Is there any chance on doing a video on this subject?
We are definitely interested.

Your hair looks absolutely gorgeous! How did you get those curls like that?
Thanks! Just a big barrel curling iron
YOUR BABY IS BEAUTIFUL🙂
LOL I'm a meticulous "dicer" of veggies no matter the intended use. I just like them that way.
Your the prettiest pregnant woman I’ve seen, love your channel hon
Thank you for the ideas! Can I ask where you got your tea kettle?

@@HopewellHeights 💕💕
Not sure if my question got missed. But I was wondering what your water canister is called in your kitchen. Sorry if I missed your answer. ❤
Secret Stories link?😊
Ok so…
1. Some people are just wrong 🤣🤣🤣🤣
2. It’s not a problem to have too many Bibles!!!!
Hi, I didn’t see the link to the secret stories.
They are just wrong😂😂😂😂
My chicken dumpling soup is different. Like you I have always liked using roasted chicken but I make drop dumplings and my main veggies are chopped mushrooms and some spinach. While I still mince up onions, celery and a single carrot they are much smaller chunks than yours so that they pretty much disintegrate when done cooking.

When the kids were young I transitioned to the less traditional veggies as a way to expand their veggies consumption beyond the standard 5.
When are you due to have the baby? I find it admirable that you left your fertility in God's hands. Highly commendable.
Where did you get your cutting board or dough board?
It was a gift from my mom and she bought it at a local antique shop!
I'm celebrating a $30k stock portfolio today I started this journey with $4k have invested on time and also with the right tearn now I have time for my family and the life ahead of me
please how? am still a newbie on investment trading
I really wonder how people make huge profit investing in stocks and crypto
all you need as a beginner to make good profit from Bitcoin or stock is a professional trader who will trade on your behalf else you may make losses
ever since i came across bitcoin trader.Mrs Erin. my life have totally changed. yours can also change it's just a matter of commitment and focus
i have heard a lot about investment with Erin and how good she is, please how safe are the profits?
Biscuit dumplings 100%
My daughter has eye brain connection issues. She was a 24 week preemie. She is doing ogdan gillingham. I may need the secret stories
The big cards and color contrast truly was a game changer for my child with vision impairment!
First world problem lol. I always think about how Laura and Mary ate salt pork and biscuits pretty much every day on the trail. No complaints
But fat n carbs is not a complete diet. (Salt pork is a hunk of fat with a bit of meat attached) They survived but we want our families to thrive.
Eggs, cheese & meat for the win!
Pioneers also had a lot of problems in childbirth that could have been prevented by adequate nutrition that’s very hard when ur nomadic and then scraping out a life from the dirt. They sacrificed in ways they didn’t even know they were choosing.
