    Buttermilk Biscuits:
    2 c. flour (or more as needed)
    2 tsp. baking powder
    ½ tsp. baking soda
    1 tsp. salt
    1 stick super cold butter in ½ inch pieces (or I grate it with my cheese grater)
    1 c. cold buttermilk
    Heat oven to 425° with rack in the middle.
    Whisk together the dry ingredients and aerate to combine. Add butter pieces and toss to just coat them in the flour mixture. Place the bowl in freezer for 10 minutes. Use 2 knives and work quickly so as not to soften butter. Cut the butter into the dry ingredients until in pea sized pieces. Drizzle in the buttermilk and stir just until a moist shaggy dough comes together. Chill again for 10 minutes.
    Generously dust a work surface with flour. Scrape the dough onto the surface and dust the top with more flour. Using floured hands, gently pat the dough into a 1 inch thick rectangle. Cut into biscuits (about 8). Put on a baking sheet about 1 inch apart. Bake until the biscuits have risen and are golden brown on top.

    Hi Megan! I wanted to say thank you for your beautiful videos. I found you a couple months back and I’ve been watching every week since. I’m not a Christian or a mom, but I find so much solidarity and friendship from your videos! Your honesty, kindness, and thoughtful parenting inspires me. As a full time nanny I appreciate hearing your thoughts and approaches to raising children, and as someone who is at the beginning of my small business journey I feel so inspired by your journey with Fox Sparrow and this channel. More so than anything, I am grateful for your friendship and kindness you extend to your viewers. I always feel so happy to see what you are up to, and love to multitask with you 😊. I guess I just wanted to say thank you for want you are doing. You bring so much light into my life!

    Health care professional here. So Tylenol is the same as what we call Paracetamol in the UK - please don't deny it to yourself or your children (using the children's dosage) . It's excellent at beinging down a fever - very important for little children - and is not addictive or has any side effects (as long as you don't overdose on it). NO ONE should think it's an evil thing. Please people, it's the 21st century and we have acess to GOOD and SAFE medication. Sometimes your body NEEDS help!!!!

      I'm not sure about the UK but here in the US Tylenol contains synthetic dyes with proven links to side effects such as asthma, autism, and behavioral issues? Tylenol is currently in a lawsuit in all 50 states

    • @sallyannc3176
      @sallyannc3176 Před rokem +7

      @@MellowHayley5 there are no dyes in Paracetamol - can't think why a medicine would need dye in it?! Tho it's possible it's in the capsule - so can't you buy it in plain tablet form? Tylenol is a brand name - here in the UK we can buy our medicine unbranded, so Paracetamol and Ibuprofen (Advil to you) can cost us pennies! The main thing you have to be concerned about with Paracetamol is the effect on the Liver - but as long as you stay within the recommended dosage it's safe. My family take it regularly for headaches/aches and pains - and I gave it to my children when they were young to help bring down a fever. All ok - no lawsuits here in the UK.

    Isn't it horrible when your infant is lethargic- so scary. Also, your ER story just made me feel so so thankful for being Canadian.

    • @scrumps101
      @scrumps101 Před rokem +2

      This is such great advice. Moms truly do have a gift when it comes to caring for our kids. Natural instinct coupled with knowing our children better than anyone else is such a valuable tool and so often underrated. Good pediatricians often ask mothers what they think in terms of how their child is doing/developing etc because they highly value and understand how well a mom can interpret their child. As moms we often second guess ourselves but we are built naturally as the first line of defense when it comes to their health and well-being. ❤

    I didn't read all the comments, but I would like to offer a small piece of advice. If you are worried about germs being brought home, always make sure kiddos wash their hands when they come home from any outing. It has helped keep germs down in our household of two boys....even now at the ages of 10 and 13. My husband and I have also adopted the habit. Anytime we come home from being out and about... we wash our hands.

Not only that but each kiddo can have different reactions to the same virus so my dear, you did nothing wrong. Tylenol or no Tylenol. I do remember that even with my third child there was a time I brought her to the Dr. And they told me to always give the medication prior. We keep learning and praying and just know that you are a kind, caring, wonderful mother.

I understand your thinking including why you held off on Tylenol. Be nice if that ER doc was your family MD! He sounds like a good communicator. So happy for you all is well.

Now she has nebulizer treatments and a steroid to be taking to clear up croup. I wish we didn't have to do the steroid, but we do what we must for our babies.

    Don’t let negative comments about showing ER footage get to you Megan. I love how you are so real and relatable. This is why I come back to your channel week after week.

My husband and I have three girls under 4 and just got through some of the roughest three weeks of our lives when all our kids got sick with RSV and Mono! One night my husband took our 8mo into the ER for the same reason - O2 levels weren’t safe but she perked up literally the moment they walked in the door. Life is hard, motherhood is hard. But you help me see and find beauty and Grace in it all. Keep up the great work and thank you for being a positive channel in a negative world. 🤍

    I'm with you on letting myself suffer and be miserable instead of medicating 🤣 It's so hard to see your kids hurting, though. I'm glad everything is okay now!

    Aw, praise the dear Lord that your sweet baby is just fine. That is SO scary. God is so faithful in those times & is surely a Friend that sticks closer than a brother. He is a very present help in time of need. I don't know how people function without Him in their lives. I call on Him so often throughout the day. Congratulations to your sister & her fiancé! Please don't ever feel bad about anything. You are a wonderful mother, and it is obvious how much you love your kids. We all do what we think is best in the moment, and we just have to leave the rest with the Lord. May He continue to heal little Miller and keep all of you in His care.

    I know I am going to sound like a broken record because many people have already said this, but never second guess on how you parents especially when you have a sick child you do what your heart tells you is right and you let the Lord take care of the rest

    My husband had two episodes of those "half the body paralyzing" experiences as you described. But they always preceded a migraine, and the staff called them "auras." We went to the ER, too, because it's super scary. A sinus infection had triggered them, so when he got rid of the infection, the migraines and the "auras" stopped, too.

    I did that SAME THING with our 6 month old last year. Our ER doctor was no good and we ended up having to stay over night. But she ended up being fine and in the end every one being okay is what’s most important.

    Megan you are a great Mum doing a fabulous job raising your wonderful children. As Mums our ability to reflect and recognise what we would do differently next time is how we learn and grow as our children grow. Seeing our children suffering and distressed is one of the hardest things our mummy’s heart has to endure. Remember and be kind to yourself 💜

    My sausage gravy is almost the exact same except I use like 4 tablespoons flour with salt, pepper and garlic powder mixed in it. I pour that over my sausage (also without draining) then mix it well and add at least 2-3 cups of milk. It’s sooo good and all my family loves it.

    I completely understand you ER nervousness! 💜 Our 5 year old busted his lip on the pew at church a couple weeks ago (he was STILL running around, even though I had told him not to🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️)... It was a pretty deep bust on the inside of his lip and we just weren't sure if it needed stitches or not, so we headed to the ER at 10:30pm. Thank God, the whole ER experience went very smooth and he didn't have to have any stitches!🙌🏻 His lip has healed up nicely!🙌🏻
    And, thank God for Christian Healthcare Ministry! We've been a part of them for about 4 years now. They are such a blessing! 💜 Thank God for a good outcome with Miller!💜

    Not medicating your kids BEFORE a doctor appointment is very normal. I’m a mom of Three, a grandmother of four and I did the same thing
    Several times.

    Sunshine is the best for healing! I was reading about 1918 "flu" one time. The patients who couldn't get a room - because the hospital was full - were on gurneys out in the sunshine. They got better faster than those inside!

    Hi, hemiplegia migraines are where you get paralysed down one side, very common around monthly hormones. It's like a stroke. Half my teeth, tongue, body all go numb. You're blessed no more episodes, very scary to go thru. Had for 23 years, you're right to feel blessed x

      I soooo wanna make cold coffee ☕️ cos of you! As disabled, I can't nip out for Starbucks, plus I'm in a village lol. 20 mile trip lol. I adore your vlogs. Bravo on editing. Your dress 👗 video how to rocked my world! Happy healthy Xmas x

    We are dealing with the same thing in our house! My one year old has been congested and coughing for weeks (tested negative for covid/flu/rsv at the doctor) but my three year old is fine. Your situation sounds very similar! It is so scary to hear them be so congested. Praying for both of our families to be healthy in December.

    Glad the baby is feeling better, your symptoms sound like my husbands symptoms recently . He was told it was a complicated migraine . He does suffer from migraines and like you he had no headache. Also pay attention if it happens during your cycle which then can be hormonal . Have a great week !!

    what you described with the paralysis - sounds like a variation of dead leg - when you sleep really soundly in an awkward position or just a kink somewhere it can make muscles go to sleep or spasm. The feeling eventually returns. I've had it a number of times.

    Thinking of you and wanted to say I think you and Josh did the right thing by taking your baby to the ER. It’s always good to get little ones checked thoroughly when colds and flu are going around. You’ve really had an extremely trying and busy week, yet you entertained your two older children by taking them to the park while their daddy stayed home with the baby. You also got everything together and gave your sister a beautiful bridal shower! Now try to get some rest!

    It's so scary when oxygen levels drop. We just had a 4 day hospital stay with our 2 yr the end of October for RSV/ bronchiolitis. The nebulizer didn't help him so he needed to stay till his levels came up. I am so glad you could come home again!
