One of my favorite things about you is how REAL you are. Thank you for making REAL life content for those of us aspiring to live this type of lifestyle. I send the hubby videos of you all THE time and say “ooh, babe, I like this.” “Oooh we should try this.” We love you.
Aww thank you! ❤️
Im a sahm as well and have been letting my little girls watch your videos as part of "homeschool" for everyone because im still learning how to cook. We watch whenever they come out and everyone gets excited and weve watched you close your oven with your foot a lot😂.. well the other day, our 4 year old got something out of our dishwasher and yelled "IM A HOMESTEAD MOM" and sparta kicked it closed 😂😂😂 priceless
Thank you for your honest and inspiring content ❤
Haha I love that!! Teaching them young!
that is an AMAZING IDEA
We are starting to homeschool our daughter in September and I am definitely going to incorporate this channel in our curriculum
Sparta kicked it closed 😂 I laughed out loud ❤❤
This is my favorite CZcams chn. I normally do not read the questions. I saddened to see negative viewer response. This is a CZcams chn. It’s not a venue to display behavior. This woman works hard with identifying and sharing her content. Her family life is real. If you want something different then you just go to another chn and keep your opinions to yourself please. Do not verbally attack and put your agenda on someone’s content. Blessing to you Stephanie and your family!
Thank you! ❤️
Me too! So inspiring.
My second baby probably spent 2 out of his 3 years on my back. In my culture of origin, we wear babies on the back, and I absolutely loved having him with me while I get on with my day.
Thank you for sharing those links. I've been trying to get back into my blog for a while. I am just starting to get myself organized with my homeschooling and homemaking routines, and food photography is my favorite creative outlet. I am glad that I was able to take a break from online business to set my values and priorities before getting back to it. This comes in perfect timing.
I really love how laid back and honest you are about what you do and how you do it. Your little baby is growing fast, he loves being with mummy ❤
Awwwww... That baby is literally just hangin around !!!!! ❤❤❤❤ Hims just hangin out !!!!!
Haha yes he sure was in my very loose wrap!
His poor lil neck tho.😮
His neck 😢
Stephanie, I was wondering if you’d be willing to show us how you introduce solid foods to your babies! Mine is 5 months now & there’s SO MUCH info about what/how to do it. There’s not many resources I trust, but I’d definitely trust what you do with your babies
I talked about this recently on Instagram but I will add it to my list here - I have a video coming out within the next few weeks all about baby care!
@@HopewellHeights you are much appreciated, I’m looking forward to it! 🙏🏼
Thank you for talking about your back wrap..lol..it was kinda bothering me, but i should have known you'd be on top of it and decide it was a no go. Love your videos!
Awww. I think this is the first time I've seen your daughter. She has beautiful hair.
Hope you have a blessed week!
I'm always glad to see your videos.
Thank you! She’s a gem! ❤️
I love your chn and content! My husband and I have two adult children who have absolutely enjoyed my cooking during the past year since I discovered your channel and farmhouse on boon. Can you imagine their shock in after all these years mom can actually cook from scratch and it’s really good!!!
It’s never too late to learn something new! ❤️
Baby E looks so small while Daddy looks so big holding them. I had to giggle 😊even though it is very much a sweet heart 💜 warming picture to see a father and child together even that young and little. 😂😂
Hello from Australia. Love watching your videos. I was thinking that baby didn't look very comfortable, but then i said to myself 'she knows what she's doing'. Which I truly believe and know. Love that you mentioned it, so honest and real. Sending you a virtual 'peace be with you'. 🫲
So fun to watch the process! Like you, I've making CZcams videos as a hobby and it's been so much fun but now, 7 weeks postpartum with our 5th, I'm finding that it's becoming more of a burden in this season. So grateful that I can set it aside and focus on our family and getting everyone into a new rhythm. And also excited to pick it back up again when the timing is right. Always appreciate your videos and your faithfulness to you family first 💙
I absolutely love your videos! 😊
I have one sister who is a professional chef and another one who easicoikd be a chef. I never had confidence in cooking from scratch prior to this past year. I think time was the issue . I was a professional wedding photographer for many years and we raised our family. I’m so thrilled I came across this chn. One year later I now absolutely enjoy cooking. What really helps in that endeavor is i now have the opportunity to work from home. So on those days I bake bread, I have that time to stretch and fold. I even time it so when my son and husband are walking up the side walk at 4:30 ish after work, they can smell baking bread. Adding sourdough starter to my baked good recipes really brings that final product to a much higher level. This summer i really want to try your tomato sauce canning. I may even do strawberries very soon. I have also done your meatballs and pasta recipes. I thought I would start a garden but have not done that yet. That seems intimidating and expensive. I’m probably wrong and it way be just because I never planted one bef. Best to all, Sandy from Massachusetts.
These videos have been so helpful for me as a brand new blogger & creator! Thank you for sharing the journey :)
You’re so welcome!
Love love love the crucifix you put on that kitchen wall!
I absolutely love your channel! Thank you for sharing your day ❤
I am a Mimi and almost an empty nester, hubby and I have a small one acre Homestead. I just love watching the kitchen stuff! I usually watch while cooking dinner, since your videos are soothing. Glad you do voice over, so that you can go about your normal chores and day.
The course links aren't working, can you post them again, please? Thanks you so much!❤❤❤ Been loving the content and it's so soothing in the chaos of my day. Staying at home is a tempering of the soul, may we all be refined by your contribution.🎉
Fixed the links! ❤️
I love your videos, I’m older 48 have had six home ed kids, cook from scratch and have worn all my babies like you do. It’s the best way. Well done for showing real life and Thankyou for taking the time to share with the world. Peculiarlyhookedonpendle x
Love your vidoes and how you just do life!
Super video! I hope to start vlogging so this was really inspirational -- thanks!
Love it! So very encouraging ❤ I struggle with that bit when it comes to our business. We haven't done a video in a year but I think I might try this style with herbs 🥰
I love watching your videos! I have followed several homesteader channels, but really enjoy keeping up with your family. Your property is gorgeous!
I love your honesty!!!👏
Thanks Stephanie - another useful great video portraying family life, healthy eating & wellness practices.
Love your Wok 😍
Thanks for giving us a glimpse into your job 😊. Looks creative, interesting, cool, and fun. Hope you are enjoying it ❤.
I really enjoy your videos and your perspective on life as a stay home mom and wife. I just had our 4th baby; I stopped working a year ago so this is my first baby to be with all day alone on a continuum. I was wondering - how many hours per day to you wear your baby and how do you help them transition to sleeping in the crib/bassinet for naps? I love baby wearing but my 6 week old is a little heavy and I would like to lay her down for maybe 1 or 2 naps a day. Thanks! P.S. sorry this question doesn't really have anything to do with the video I am posting it on.
Hey!!!! I found out about your channel around a month and a half ago ( I think!) nevertheless, you talked about the vaccines, plandemia, showing up as YOURSELF. Unapologetic, woman of God, fearless mama, and it gave me hopes to start my channel and to actually be disciplined with it. I see all of these channels with the perfect lives, home, not speaking on social issues, and just presenting this idea of what it is to be a stay at home mom.
I think mine is extremely far from that, and even if I'm even nowhere near to buying land, I resonate so much with you! Thank you so much for these videos, for speaking TRUTH, for sharing this valuable information. I am currently 26 and with a fam of 4 hoping to grow soon. You are such an inspiration to me! I want to check in to blogs :')
Love from Puerto Rico!
Great video! Getting your azure order in tip: you start at the beginning of month and add things and complete the order then. As the month goes on you just keep adding even as the order is in place so you can always get the essentials . 😊 a many a month I've missed the cut off and this has really helped me.
Love your channel and the authenticity of it.
LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!! You're awesome. So much respect.
Yay!
Always look forward to your video....
Yay! Thank you!
Oh my goodness,you've already lost your baby weight.
@@HopewellHeights
Yes, I love that you are real. I know you don't put on airs. Its like droping in on a friend. Also, I love the relationship of love shown. ❤😊 15:22 and respect
I love your this channel!
Thank you so much!
Love your recipes ❤
Thank you! ❤️
I would like you know about ur cooking vessels pls do brief video about that too it will be more helpful for me
💚
Baby’s head was not supported very well. Maybe you weren’t aware?
Yes I tried a new back wrap for the first time and I blew it lol! But I’ve got it down now and it’s awesome!
@@HopewellHeightsthat wrap looks so cool though, what wrap is it? I wonder if my 18 months old would fit in it
Its an oscha misty mountain wrap.
Oh boy, that's some good looking baked potatoes! I see you had your blue oven fixed. 🙂
Enjoyed the video 😊
Thank you!
Beautiful baby and a delicious easy meal I make myself ❤️❤️❤️
Those potatoes look delicious
Thanks for sharing this, it is very encouraging to know that even bloggers don't alway have "picture perfect" homes! Always dishes to be done and clothes to be folded especially with little ones!
Aside from your blog and CZcams, do you make money on Instagram as well?
Hims just too cute! ❤
I have had a channel here for ni e years. I have NEVER allowed anyone to tell me to show my daughter. She was 12 yrs old when I started. On a very rare occasion, she and I will have an interaction, which is recorded.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful family, farm and food! As a nurse, how do you deal with ticks? Is there a proper way to remove them and treat the area?
Watching this with a sick toddler on my back;)
Question about gluten since you mentioned it: I know you’ve done a lot of research on thyroid since you mentioned having issues with it. It is a commonly held belief that anyone with hypothyroid should avoid gluten. Curious if you’ve found anything in your research to offer an alternate view? My naturopath recommends I do no dairy or gluten every time I see her (I have hypothyroid) but the gluten I do is sourdough long fermented and often home milled. And I don’t eat a ton. Also much of my dairy is fermented. I would think this would really matter. Just thought you’d be someone who might know a bit about this as I see you still consume those things normally.
Thanks.💕💕
Also wanted to tell you that the link to the potato dish leads to a chipotle mayo recipe.
This looks delicious. Can't wait to try it! Thank you 😊
Can you share your strategy for the blog that you mentioned?? ❤ thanks
Hi Steph - beautiful video! The baby is precious! I’m on my third attempt to make sourdough starter 😳 this last one raised went over the top in four days - I discarded it and feed it again but is that normal? Should I throw it out and start over ?
Question before you had a team to help you with editing, what program did you use?
In my country no one uses blogs since...years ago, so it's not an option here
Hello, very curious if you might have a suggestion for cleaning dirty sheet pans like the one in this video. I hate when they get like that and are so hard to clean. Help!
His poor little head neck
I know poor guy I majorly messed up that wrap!
Hello there , I have not seen any new videos on your site since this one ?? I hope everything is ok , God Bless .
Hi! Thanks for checking in!! Latest video dropped today 😊
@@HopewellHeights Thanks , glad your ok , and watching the new video now :)
I would love to know how you learned to edit videos for YT. I have tried to start a channel and have struggled to figure out how to edit and do voice over or add music. Im so not tech savvy and it was so frustrating I keep giving up.
The course I linked in the description was really helpful! I just bought Final Cut Pro and am now teaching myself how to use that, but so far I have just used iMovie and it’s worked great
I notice you go barefoot and sometimes the bottoms of your feet look like they might have a little dirt on them. I like it. Im in and out all day. I like getting my toes in the dirt and on the grass. I often show my husband my dirt stained toes at the end of the day before I hop in the shower or the tub. He gets a kick out of it. Im proud of the dirt on my toes. Jesus and I walk and talk in that dirt ❤. I can be dressy and proper but boy i love my toes in the grass and dirt. 😊
Yes my feet are always dirty, any chance I can get my bare feet in the dirt I take it! I picked a spray faucet for my bathtub so I could spray my feet every night lol bc I’ve always loved being barefoot!
Same here!!!! 😊❤
This is unrelated to this post, but I'm hoping you've came across some information. (and maybe a video idea!) I'm a mama of 5, but have always struggled with milk supply. Doing some research but wondering if you came across information related to milk supply in hormonal imbalances, and anything to remedy it naturally? (there's other symptoms involved that suggest hormones)
Can you do some more birth, breastfeeding, etc videos? I LOVE when you talk about this stuff, I can’t find anyone else who shares the info you do and all in one place. It’s hard to find a source I trust and like who has the same goals of natural birth etc. Just labor advice and postpartum and breast feeding facts etc etc???? I would watch 3 hour videos from you on it haha
Where did you get that dish towel???? What brand is it????
Can you link where you got your wrap please?
Your Oscha sling is stunning! I cannot wait to have another baby just so I can wear him/her
you really need to fix your recipe on your blog because I followed the exact measurements and I was left with a wet and sticky dough when the recipe says dry and shaggy.
❤
Did you take Vitex before & or during any of your pregnancies? If so, how long did you take Vitex during pregnancy?
I have a video on Vitex! I have taken it to conceive my last two babies and continued it until about 9 weeks
@HopewellHeights Yes, I saw it. 🙂 My niece has been trying for years & was recently diagnosed with PCOS. 🥺 I told her about Vitex & to do her own research on it. Of course, I recommended some changes to her diet. Thank you so very much ❤️
@@traceyparker1407is your niece familiar with Kori Meloy? I know she has an Instagram & shares a lot of info on women’s hormonal health & fertility - mostly having to do with nutrition!She helped me learn about my own fertility & I think that’s what helped me get pregnant last year. She also has an amazing podcast called Freely Rooted. Really hope she finds something that works 🙏🏼
I love your videos but I feel the need to comment. Please let’s be mindful of conserving water. Our water table has gone down so much and we must leave some for our kids and grandkids. Please do the wasteful. Thank you.
She’s in Missouri, tons of water here not to mention it has been raining like crazy!!
@@lisamerrell9475 I understand but Missouri is not the only place in the world and as we know global warming is also affecting the abundance of rainfall in other places.
The baby's neck hanging 😢
I love your videos especially the ones about pregnancy but my heart broke when i seen your little baby's head hanging back 😰 that looks very very uncomfortable and poor little guy probably couldn't lift it up to fix it. I don't mean any disrespect at all, I truly admire you but it really does hurt my heart to see him hanging like that.
Yes, my wrap was SO bad in this video! I tried a new back wrap and definitely got it wrong, but I’ve tried it close to 10 times since and it’s now my new favorite!
I gasped when I saw his poor head flopped back! He is too young to be in a back carry!
@@HopewellHeightsI've never been successful with back carry lol but now that I've had my third child I'm going to give it a try cause I really need to be able to carry her around while I do farm chores and such.
I LOVE your videos❤❤
@graciouslygrowing9786 I do farm chores wearing from the front❤ til a bit older, then the back is more convenient.
@mariafriesen4774 There are entire cultures that carry children on their backs from newborn age. 🙃
Awe, your baby doesn't look very comfortable. Goung to have a sore neck 😢
Ok, obviously this isn't the wholesome, family-oriented channel I thought it was. To support a business that believes in child mutilation and serious grievances against The Word is not God-centered. Sad, but honestly, you can be a bit crunchy, too. I will pray for your enlightenment.
I’m aware that Google and CZcams support lots of things I don’t agree with but I can still use these platforms without supporting everything they do - as you are a CZcams user as well it sounds like you feel the same! ❤️
@@HopewellHeightstactful and lovely response.
@HopewellHeights true but I don't take money from them. Believe me, if there was another option I would, which is why I also go to rumble and other platforms. I understand you need to make money for your family and I like that there are available opportunities, but to decidedly support this company in more than one instance, after you have heard from other subscribers about them, goes beyond just trying to support a family. You're supporting their woke agenda even after stating that you're not woke. I'm just very confused by that decision.
@@roseofsharin We have iPhones made by Apple, we use CZcams and Google, I use Instagram and Facebook, I fill my car up at gas stations, I stopped in to pick up groceries at big chains from time to time, and patronize lots of businesses without checking to see if they align with my values on every single single issue. If you are looking for inspiration from someone who has totally dissociated with the world, I would highly recommend visiting an Amish community! We visit them a couple times a year and they are very neat!
@@roseofsharin Hi there , One thing is , if you do not like a channel and want to fuss online about it , why not just get off this channel and let others that are interested in viewing her cooking recipes , how she does her garden , how she buys from thrift shops and etc. enjoy it without all the fussing and drama , Life is Short , best to be happy & kind . God Bless .
