i’m 21 and married with one baby and i really struggle every single day. My dream is to have a big family, cook from scratch, garden etc but it feels almost impossible to even imagine. But you inspire me. Your home radiates love and unity. I would love to hear you talk more about motherhood and the journey, what you’ve learned.
IT is getting easier in some ways, with more Kids.
And the Routine.
Just step by step.
Going from 0 to 1 child is a huge learning curve and change. I had the same sentiments as you with just one. Now, having two children I actually do MORE homemaking and food from scratch and somehow it is easier. Give yourself a lot of grace and know that you’ll go through seasons of being able to do more or sometimes less and that’s fine. As the previous commenter said, step by step. God bless you!
Find some female (or male) friends to help you get adult conversations. I thought I would go insane during my maternity leave. There is only so much talking you can do to your baby who does not respond.
Pick one thing you would like to accomplish in a week. Focus on that. If it takes two weeks because your baby is fussy, okay. Life is pretty fluid. Once you have accomplished that task, pick a new one. Slowly but surely, you will become the person you want to be.
@@kimberlylois4855 thank you sweetheart may God bless you too and all mamas trying our best❤️ i hope i will have the same experience 🙏🏻
@@catherinecarney2507 thank you for the advice🙏🏻🥰
I am wondering how in the world you find the time to edit all your videos into a 30 minute one for us?!! Really, how do you do it all? I love your day in the life videos. It shows what a wonderful mom you are and what a loving family is all about. It's inspirational. Enjoy your popcorn tonight.
Thank you! My husband watches the children in the evenings and I do my editing and voicing then.
Right! I could watch her videos for hours
I’ve never seen a jar opener like that! I’ve always used a butter knife!
Agreed.💯
(Bonus Bible and God mentions in this one that warms my heart too)
@@faithfletcher8740 Its from Forjars I think she has it linked on here. I use a butterknife too but it looks like a handy gadget. Anna In Ohio
I love how you refer to Gabriel's "little nose" and he is taller than you! They are always our babies.
As a parent, there's always that moment of awe when you realize that you must look up to gaze into your now- teen child's eyes.❤
I love your views, it doesn’t kill a kid to have a cup of coffee n it’s so true it’s a memory that they’ll share with their kids. Kinda sad that you have to say that your boy did eat more then what was before him because someone out there is going to say something negative. You have a great week looking forward to the next video!
Agree with all you said😊
You are definately a busy lady and you have done fantastic job raising your children. They polite, do what they are supposed to do and help even when they are not expected to and vollunteer when you ask for vollunteers. You find time for one on one time. You are unbelievebable. I wouldnt think twice to vote for you as mother of the year without hesitation.❤😊😅
Your DITL videos are some of my favorite. 🥰 Your youngest and mine are about a month apart, so it’s nice to see someone getting all the things done with a baby still firmly on hip!
How you get everything done is amazing. The older children helping you is a great way for them to learn responsibility. Thank you for sharing
You certainly have a busy, but well organized, daily routine. Loved seeing this unfold.
The little guy n the striped shirt danceing while playing bingo is so cute! My stepmom started us on board games when I was 6 on the wkends b4 her&dad got married,then when they got married n my 11th year we did board games every night! She died at 100 this year and I miss her! She liked doing puzzles after the younger kidos went 2 bed and I got 2 place 4 or 5 b4 I went up 2 the girls room!!
Thank you for a glimpse of your day as a stay home mom. And also the great testimony of a Christian woman. Salt and light. I pray that the Lord bless you and your wonderful family with health, unity and peace.
Thank you
This wholesome content is sent from God to legit warm hearts. I love my cup of coffee and time with you on Sundays
I agree about teens. We homeschooled our 4 boys and their teen years were the best. Watching them springboard into adults was wonderful.
What did you do for homeschooling your teen boys?
Love starting my Sunday's with you and your lovely family. Thanks for all that you share each week; I've learnt so many new things. Have a great week.
Thank you! You too!
Good Morning, Jessica! As an older mom who’s beyond the home school years, it’s so nice to see all the children enjoying their time together and with you. They grow up so quickly and then you wonder, where did time go. Have a Blessed week!
Thank you! You too!
I enjoy all your videos but this one was very special about how you manage a day with the children. I'm a grandmother and I wish I had your organizational skills many years ago. Thank you for sharing your beautiful family life, God Bless you and your family.🙏🙏
I love the name y'all choose for the new puppy! She is going to be a big dog.
When you said Sarah Jane, it immediately made me think of the Grandma's Attic book series. If you haven't read them before, I think your younger children might enjoy them. Good clean 1800- early 1900 story.
My mom read them to me as a child and I read them to my children!
Thank you for sharing "A morning in the life of Jessica" I've often wondered how you do it! 😊
Playing twister for preschool is genius!
Jessica, you and your husband are wonderful parents. I noticed that children prayed before eating. Giving your children chores that need to be done everyday is what keeps most children out of trouble. David (I think that was his name) learning Japenese is spectacular. The oldest son (I forgot his name😉) taking college courses. Feeding the younger children a small meal before breakfast really does help younger children stay alert. Green tea has many positive benefits. I drink green tea 2-3 times a week. I also drink peppermint inbetween. One can drink green tea daily. All of your children are special in that they have loving parents who want the best for them. I work in health care. When I saw your daughter's anatomy and physiology books it took me back high school and then my college years. No matter what your children want to do in life they should also include at least one foreign language...two if possible. Blessings to you all. 🤗
Thank you for the kindness and encouragement ❤️
What fun for you to share a morning and mid day routine with us. So great to see the children, and I notice how much each of them has grown. The Teens look all grown, and the three little boys so precious. Your baby is already walking? Yes indeed, a special treat for your subscribers today. Thank you.😊
I feel like we need time stamps on your next DITL video!!! you and you kiddos get so much done before lunch it's amazing! you and your sweet family are such an inspiration to many. You are the definition of a super mom!
I found your channel about a year ago. Your family is a wonderful blessing to see what a truly loving and inspirational family should be. Thank you for sharing with all of us. I’m 63 and love your videos. Tysm OG from WV. ❤
Thank you so much!
I totally agree. Jessica and her sweet family is what family is all about. Such a blessing to see there are families with great morals!
[Stephen’s wife, Laura] As a newer believer coming from dysfunction and the out of the world, and a new-again mom of two littles after being born again, learning all the right things to do as a parent with following the Lord and His Word, cooking clean, homesteading and homeschooling and teaching all these things to my girls, it’s so hard. Seeing an example like yours, nearly brings me to tears of thankfulness because sometimes I just can’t grasp how to coordinate all this! Thank you so much for sharing in all the transparency. It’s so helpful. Blessings on you and your family as you follow the Lord.
God bless you 🙏🏻
I have 3 families of grandchildren that I help take care of each week. Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. This past weekend I took care of 5 plus their dog while the older two went with their parents to a homeschool conference 3 hrs away. I love playing games with them and I consider it a blessing to spend so much time. It is not time wasted but hopefully time spent that will reap a huge harvest. In all honesty though I do get good tired.
I think you might look into a spiral staircase. When using a grocery bag to carry things, this would work well.
I live and have for decades with a circle stairway that lands on 3 levels: laundry and food storage in the basement, bedrooms upstairs. It’s a real barrier when carrying things. I’d advise from my experience a dumb waiter.
I love the perspective you have on your daily mundane chores… talking to God while hanging laundry, watching birds while doing dishes… it’s a great reminder for stay at home mothers around the world!
I noticed that! ❤
Thank you for sharing this!! It’s soo helpful in the little moments in between, taking care of big kids and just getting it all done. So helpful and beautiful! Thanks Jessica!!
Good morning Jessica😊🙏
I love your calm ways and the way you enjoy your children. They are a blessing from God and you certainly show that. Thank you for sharing your days with us.
Have a blessed week🙏
Thank you! You too!
The granola looks scrumptious. Thankfully I'm not envious of other people's lifestyle (at almost 76) but your lifestyle is so peaceful and loving, it is enviable to me (in a good way).❤
I didn't see where you are exiting from to get to the cellar, but maybe another option if they are somewhat close to one another is to make an outdoor enclosure that connect the upstairs exit and the cellar door. Often ppl do that to make an enclosed entry to a downstairs apartment, especially in areas that have snow. It can be simple, and tying into the aesthetics of the house's exterior, or it can be made with glass and doubling as a solarium type "hallway"... where you could put plants, or seating like benches for a sort of mudroom.... but again, not sure if there is an upstairs exit close by to make this a possibility.
Great idea!
My favorite type of video from you! Thanks!!
YOU ARE A FANTASTIC MOM ,AND YOUR HUSBAND A GREAT FATHER ❤❤❤❤❤❤ I LOVE YOUR SWEET CHILDREN AND YOUR VIDEO'S
Thank you so much!
Love watching your children interact, and oh my, what a beautiful puppy!
I love seeing you especially with your children and babies. And i feel the same way about my husband going off to work each day. I am so thankful for him doing it and glad i don't have to!
My granddaughter just came to stay with me for some months. She's 3...she keeps me so crazy busy I don't know how you keep up with all those children 😮
I love that you love hanging out the washing too! When you said about it being relaxing and an opportunity to talk to God, my eyes bugged out and I said out loud “me too!!!”
Ahh it’s the little things, the little moments others would see as mundane but we find the joy in them. I have a 4 months old baby (and other children), so any opportunity for a “break” I revel in!
Lovely video of your beautiful family ❤
I am 68 y/o and I love hanging out the wash too.I feel the same about washing dishes (by hand)!! It is a wonderful time to talk with God.
Your organization is absolutely amazing!!
Awe...Sarah, you're puppy is adorable. She seems so gentle.
I love that cabinet with the jars in it
Love these kind of Videos. Thanks Jessica & your family ❤
That is a FULL day! God bless you. You are such a good mama.
I like the blue dress you had on making granola. Very flattering but also looks easy/comfy to wear.
Great video. I look forward to it every Sunday. Thank you so much for sharing. The kids are all growing so much. Hugs
Love seeing you and your lovely family. You are such a wonderful Mom. ❤️🙏🏻Val C
This is the best way to get ready to start a new week Thank you
I can honestly say my daughters never gave me a moment of trouble when they were teenagers.
I love watching you Jessica! You are beyond blessed! I was able to stay at home with mine until he started school, then I worked outside the home.
As always, a wonderful video. Hope you all have a great week. Can't wait for the next video. 😊
You are one busy lady. Your children are great helpers.
I’m have watched you for years!! I have learned so much! We are in Columbus and my BIL has been teaching Japanese at Denison University for over 20 years. He taught himself Japanese when he was in middle school. He loves to help young people learn the language. PLEASE reach out if you think David would want ANY help or questions answered!!!! 🤗❤️
Thank you!
Thank you so much for your channel! I really enjoy your vlog , especially this day in your life. You have an amazing family. Have a blessed week.😊
Jessica, you are an inspiration to bring family "Down Home." Best.
I love that you love being with your children. I, too, loved each stage my children were in. When you take time to really listen, it is a joy.
What a beautiful family and life you have. Thank you for sharing with us.
I love the window in your kitchen!
Good evening my dear friend, I absolutely love these videos, it's evident that there is so much love in your home!! I am looking forward to next weeks video and the other half of your day! Have a blessed week!
The peace of God be with your beautiful family as always Jessica. I look forward to Sunday for church and Three Ricera’ 😂❤ Terri Colarusso
Aww Sarah Jane with the kiddos ❤❤❤❤❤
I really love your day in the life video’s. Looking forward to the next one. Greetings from the Netherlands.
Hi Jessica!!!! Sending love and light to you. Thank you for sharing your life with all of us.
You are truly amazing!!❤❤
Your Michigan Fan and Friend Araminta 😊😊😊
Thank you so much!!
Wow! What a great routine! This gave me so many good ideas. Thank you for sharing! 😊
My father was the 17th child of 23, all single births. His older sister, my aunt, was the same age as my mother’s mum. One of my uncles died at sea in the Second World War, so I never knew him. He was only 16, and had lied about his age so he could sign up. Love seeing how you all work together.
I would love to watch a video about the second half of your day! I find your videos so relaxing and cozy
Thank you for sharing this video, it brought back a lot of great memories. I have 5 grown children and I used to home school them. I loved that I had time with them and it sounds like our schedules were pretty close, as I’m sure a lot of home schooling families would. God bless you all, have a great week.
Loved the video! Your new pup is adorable and lucky to be in your family! Thank you for the inspiration and peek into your day.
You are so welcome!
I’m a retired elementary teacher and always used games in my classroom. I love your videos!
I loved this long video! Relaxing and inspiring! I want to be a homesteading mom so bad, it’s my dream!
Your videos guide me on how to be patient and in the moment with my children. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing, it gives me a lot of motivation and inspires me to have a better structure at home. Thank you!
I'm glad you fit in some rest breaks, even short ones are good.
You are the greatest mom Jessica. Your children are so blessed and I'm sure they know it. I love your life. I've been able to stay home. I did not home school but if I could do it over I would now. Ty for sharing your lives with you. Your family is amazing as you know.
I just loved this. Thanks!
Jessica you are amazing. How blessed your children are to have a mother whose joy is her home and family. ❤️
What a great day!!
Thank you for another video; with all that you do each day, I appreciate your effort to produce another video. I like to see your organization of the home. You have to be a manager to get the children well fed, lessons taught, laundry done and so forth; hence, you can give love and attention to all of the children. I am very glad that you have a clothes drier!!! Warm dry, soft clothes are another blessing. I love to dry laundry on the clothesline, but soft towels from the drier feel so nice. Lee
Thank you.
I look forward every week to Sundays to see your latest video.
I love how you give attention to all ages…such a great way to homeschool ❤
What a beautiful puppy 🥰 my little boy, Simon, was a Brazilian Mastiff. He topped off at about 250 lbs. Stood on his hind legs at about 6’7. He took his last breathe on November 6th and I miss him with every part of me. Thank you for sharing your day with us! ❤❤❤
You're a wonderful mother, an inspiration to many.
Glory to God. Thank you 😊
Agree. This channel has blessed our family in many ways.
I was so looking forward to this weeks video ❤ I was reloading CZcams several times last hour to see if it had come up (no pressure, just me saying I was excited 😂❤). 😊
Thanks for sharing 😊
Love and blessings from Johanne, Norway 🇳🇴
Thank you very interesting love the way you do the home schooling.
Kudos for teaching your big kids to be self sufficient! ❤
You are such an inspiration. You get more done in a morning than I usually get done in an entire day (in my lazy defense, my husband and I are retired and we have just one high-school aged son at home who goes to the local Catholic high school so it's just the 2 of us home all day).
Enjoyed the day in your life, thank you for sharing.
Love the puppy's name and the reference to Dr. Who!
I love all your videos but my most favorite videos is your cooking where you cook your 3 meals a day 😊 much ❤️ from North Carolina
What an amazing family you have. I love how everyone works together as one to help where needed. Also the bond the kids are building with each other is so precious. I can see the huge benefits of homeschooling vs sending them off to have others educate them. Maybe many years ago outside education was a good choice but nowadays it’s so much different. Teachers are teaching kids things that I as a parent would never approve of and the bullying and violence is unbelievable. I have seen young adults who can’t even put a sentence together and yet they are continuously getting promoted to the next level. Great job to you all ❤
Lovely, just lovely.
An amazing life you have given your children.
Jessica, I agree that us mama's have it better than our husband's, such a blessing to be able to stay home with the growing family ❤
Great family video. Jessica you have such great kids. They are very balanced happy kids and organized kids.
Thank you so much!
Gabriel and David are so smart and getting really tall.
Almost as tall as dad at 6'0"
I love seeing your family interact together. Family is such a blessing! We also had split pea soup this week. I’ve made it a many times and it’s always great. However, this time it was bitter. Have you ever experienced this? I am looking forward to the second half of your day. I would love to know what time your teens go to bed. I’m struggling to figure out the correct amount of sleep mine needs. It’s can also be a challenge with evening activities to settle down at a good time. I always come away from your videos encouraged, so thank you!
You are a wise lady! 😊❤🙏
Thank you for sharing. Blessings
You are so welcome
Thank you for sharing! 😁 I always wondered how you do it all! You never cease to amaze me!
I am a young mother, 23, with an 11 month old and our second on the way. You are very inspiring to me because I do not have an example of biblical womanhood in my family. May God continue to bless you and your family!
You are such a wonderful mother. Your children are very lucky. Love your channel Jessica. ❤
Thank you so much!
Oh dear, as a former homeschool mom, now empty nester, I so enjoyed this, reliving through you what my own life looked like a decade or two ago. Such a blessing to see you with your sweet family.
hey sista i love that your young ladies and gentlemen do their own laundry its a life skill they need to know too many young people think the fairies clean their clothes kudos x
