You should try reading Janette Oke series. Especially the first “When Calls the Heart” Series and the return to the Canadian West. We have also now started the “Love Comes Softly” series. We read them as nighttime readers with my children. And my children and I love them! They show the importance of relationships with God, decency, submitting our emotions to the Lord, and they are enjoyable. Even my preteen son enjoys the nightly reading. They are a family win, which is a praise God moment, because finding clean enjoyable story lines that are God honoring can be quite the task!
Hello! My name is Kady Howard. I am in high school, but I love your videos so much. I love the homemaker chats; they are like having coffee with a friend. I have a few video requests. First, I would love a video all about your chickens. How you made their coop, what you feed them, how you keep the eggs fresh, why you don't have a rooster, and how you protect them. I dream of having chickens. I have always loved them since I was little. I would also like a video about what you do to prep your garden in the fall, how you prepare it for the winter and spring planting, and what you do in the spring before you start planting. Thank you for making these videos; I have learned so much from you!
Good for you😊
And how u keep the chickens warm in the coldest part of winter? I think my grandpa used a heart lamp in his chicken shed in East Nebraska. Quite cold in January there -30°f or so windchill).
My grown daughter and I are currently reading The Little House books and having a book club with them. I hope you enjoy.
I liked the cardboard wire shelves in the cabinet. You are a home engineer. 😀
I absolutely love these homemaker chat videos! Feels like I’m sitting down with a friend and catching up. I pray I find in person friends like you someday, you are such a kindred spirit!
Oh my goodnessI loved the shelf! I think it’s amazing that you repurpose things that otherwise would end up in a Landfield. God has given you so much wisdom so do not listen to the people that say negative things. Love this style of videos
Thank you! And I'm glad you like this style of video- I appreciate your feedback!!
I found a moment of quiet to watch for the first time in awhile!! And I am currently on this journey of prioritizing spending money here vs there…and I resonate so much with the shed story and the cardboard shelving. We needed to build a large fence around our garden area to keep deer out and if we would have hired someone and built a beautiful perfect fence it would have easily been $10-20k. But we decided to take the horse fence apart and make our own creation for WAY WAY less. While using materials we have.
First thing a neighbor comes and says it “well I wouldn’t have done it that way”, and I’m thinking in a perfect world we wouldn’t have either 😅but we need a garden next year and this is how we get there. No one can ever really understand what you’re prioritizing and why but I get this!!! When
You own more land it’s a wake up call to how many
Places your money could go 🤣
No kidding! We just started watching Little house on the prairie on RUclips. Just completed the first episode. I didn't realise these old TV series used be biblically based. Its so interesting to observe the roles of a husband and wife. It all comes together. It's beautiful
I re-read Jane Austin's books every summer when I sit outside in the sunshine 🙂. I'm very traditional & I haven't ever noticed anything feminist about them either. I like that they contain words that aren't used much or at all anymore. That way I can look them up in the dictionary! Love your channel. God bless my friend 🙂☀️
That is so fun and sounds lovely!!
It's so satisfying to come up with frugal solutions! Great idea :)
I got the 1995 DVD Pride and Prejudice series and I liked that one the best. 😀
I am thankful you shared your bathroom shelf. It's a great reminder that our homes don't have to be perfectly esthetically pleasing. Functionality & working within our budget often win out over esthetics, especially in early years of marriage.
Love & will use your tip on dehydrating lemons 🍋 tfs I’m happy to hear your planning on ready LHOTP series this winter I read them every year they are so cozy.
Kelli, I love hearing about your resourcefulness ideas!! I too love to make do with what we have on hand:)
I really enjoyed this video! I love the idea of using the stamp shelf for your thread! Depending on how many of larger spools you have maybe they can be lined up on the top. The wood looks so beautiful, you really found a wonderful piece with that. And that crock, what a great find that is and I think your rolling pins will be awesome in it.
As a homeschooling mom we read a lot and one of the favorites was the Little House series. I read them out loud when the kids were little and my daughter (40) who was and still is a reader, read them on her own many times. I still have the set of books albeit tattered and worn. I would love to dig those out and read them again. I have never read Pride and Prejudice but I have a tradition of watching certain movies when we go on vacation. P&P is one of them. I really have to concentrate because even though I’ve seen it sooo many times, if I don’t pay attention sometimes I can’t understand what they’ve said lol. I hope you enjoy reading the next books. Have a blessed day. 🤗
I enjoy all that u share in all your videos. I can relate to your occasional your day that is off the listed schedule is still efficient/ productive, and not just sitting watching movies/ using internet all day. Praise God! What a blessing to your home & your husband.
I also have related to what you share lately about the husband & home is a woman's career. I have been having that yearning inside. I am single for awhile now, children grown, and I am growing, learning in God until God's timing for such a husband to walk along side. You are such an encouragement, and I thank you for joyfully sharing what you do!
The dried lemon slices would be pretty strung as garland on a christmas tree. The have a stained glass window look to them.
Yes! Very Pretty!!!
LOVE!
The amount of joy you have about your resourcefulness far surpasses anyone’s thoughts on how you should or shouldn’t do something. When you articulate your thoughts it lets me see the beauty in the project!
Thank you!
You were delightful as always!
Oh, Kelli! you will LOVE the Little House books. I read them aloud to my daughters when they were young (elementary age). We read aloud every single night! They really give you a sense of appreciation for what our ancestors went thru & how resourceful they were. My suggestions is to skip Farmer Boy until you have read Laura's books first. In my opinion, it interrupts the flow of her story & you don't need to know what he (Almonzo) was up to until you find out they will get married way at the end of the series.
Interesting fact: My mother's ancestors bought The Wilder's house (in Malone, NY) when they sold it & moved West. The house is now a museum & we took our daughters there to make the story come alive. It was very well preserved & a fun, interesting trip!
I love your resourcefulness & all of your 'shelf talk' made me think of 2 parts of the Little House series. #1, Pa carves Ma a beautiful shelf for her to place her one 'treasure', a china doll, on. They take this shelf & doll with them to all of their houses #2. A young woman (Mrs. Boast) they befriend shows Ma how to make a 'what not' & how to cut paper resembling lace, to adorn this cornershelf/whatnot. & what fun they had making it. It was not fine furniture, but being so far removed from 'civilization' & still wanting a beautiful home, these ladies had to make pretty things out of what they had on hand! Just like you! People around me tease me that I am like Ma Ingalls & what a compliment!!!!
We like the tv show, too, because it makes us laugh. But it is not accurate at all & alot of 1970s social justice ideas. But we still find it better than any modern tv. In the winter, my husband announces; "L-HOP Night". He pops the DVD in, I make popcorn & both girls come & settle in on the couch & we laugh & laugh.
Your makeup looks really lovely in this video.
Hi Kelli, thank you for sharing your makeshift ideas. I love to try to problem solve on a dime! It is so much fun. Love your shelves.
You'll read through the Little House series quickly 😊 I've read through it 4 times (I think). 2 times with my children, and 2 by myself. So fun!
😮 Oh Kelli! 😅I gasped, rinsed the tomatoes of my hands and dried them to pause the video!! I can’t believe you have never read the little house books!! These were a staple in my home growing up so much so I almost feel related to Laura! One of my most cherished childhood memories was a series rainy fall days where my busy dairy farmer dad couldn’t get out in the fields so he stayed inside (rare!) and read aloud to us while we built Lincoln log cabins (another thing to start looking for at thrift shops!). Each of us kids and all my cousins were all given a set of these books. Our original ones from grandmas house are so worn out you can’t even touch them! Anyway I call these my contentment books…. Anytime I start to get in a funk and feel discontent I get these out! Ma had such a way of doing with so little and is such a beautiful role model. Also…. The way Almonzo describes his mother and sisters and the beauty he saw in food is such a funny lesson on getting to a man’s heart through his stomach! And then there’s the long winter…. I always read it as winter sets in! Oh, and the first four years!!!! So good for the newly weds or soon to be married!!!
Kelly, I can’t wait for the inspiration you draw from these books!!♥️♥️
I’ve been married for 25 years and homeschooled 4 kids… and I still draw inspiration from your videos, I share them with my girls and other young people I know and I pray for you and Scott and the important kingdom work you are doing!!!
❤❤❤❤
…. Ok back to my tomatoes 🍅
Ps…. There is actually a chapter in one of the little house books where they clean up the cabin and ma takes paper and cuts scallops that look like lace and she taps it to a rough little corner shelf that pa made here and the girls just think it is the most beautiful and wonderful thing!!! Reminds me of your TP tube shelves! Seriously MA Ingalls was the queen of contentment. ❤
“Turn it in, turn it out, make it do or do without”
Such a fun video! Your idea for the bathroom shelf was great! The basket is so pretty. I have also been reading some of the classics and enjoyed Pride and Prejudice. Thank you for sharing what is going on in your world. I am on the hunt for Little House on the Prairie books. Take care!
I'm so glad you liked the video!! And yes, I hope you are able to come across the series soon!!
The book "A to Z food savers" is and amazing kitchen reference book, I borrowed it from the library and am hoping to buy it for Christmas this year! 🎁 God Bless!
Thank you!!
Really liked to listen :)
I loved this! Also it's a good exercise to be creative with out spending money. People really don't do that as much anymore and we have lost how to solve problems with out running to Amazon . Have a blessed week Kelli !
Amen! Soo true with Amazon! I hope you have a wonderful week as well!!
I’m not sure (please look it up) but I think you can freeze lemons until you decide what to do with them.
You know, now that you say that I feel like I saw this once too! I'll look into it, thank you!
Really enjoyed this! I haven't read any Jane Austen yet, I do own Emma and Sense & Sensibility. I have heard she is one of the harder classic authors to read, I've made it a few pages in and got sidetracked.
I have watched the movie adaptations, (1995 version for Pride & Prejudice, it follows the book more closely so I'm told)
Right now I'm slowly plodding through Anne of Green Gables series, very good, I just get busy with life.
You are going to LOVE Little House series!!! My favorite is Farmer Boy 🙌🏼
I read all of the Little House books the summer before 7th grade. I’m going to start reading them to my grandkids soon.
You need to read “Little Women”.
Withering Heights is a book i’ve attempted a few times, but still can’t get past the first chapter.
I just read Jane Ayre. It was so good.
I haven't read Jane Ayre, but I think we might have it!
The little spools on the shelf is going to be so cute!
It has taken everything in me not to go ahead and fill the shelf with the spools! I'm using that excitement as motivation to get this room done!
This video reminds me of the proverb 12:27
“…but the diligent make use of everything they find” so inspiring and convicting that we really don’t need to buy as much as we think we do most times!
Such an encouraging verse Jacqueline!!
I have one of those printing drawers. I put mine in my living room. I love the idea of storing your sewing thread in.❤
They make just the cutest little shelves!
That shelving in the bathroom is ingenious.
I love the little house series! Such a great find🩵
I used cardboard boxes that I stacked on top of each other, turned on their side, in my kitchen cabinet because of the very same issue you have in the bathroom. It has worked and has been that way over a year now. That is fun stuff, trying to figure out how to do something with what you have on hand. The seed starting mister that you thrifted is really pretty too, very unique.
So clever and great problem solving!!
I am putting Pride and Prejudice on my reading list! I also want to read Anne of Green Gables :) I am curious, have you ever read any Francine Rivers books before? And if so, are you a fan of those?
Idk if I want help encouragement tips or just prayers but here’s my struggle:
I am a mother of 9, a wife, a homeschooler, small homesteader, and adult child of a dysfunctional family. Struggling through a lot of abuse, and never taught any of the skills necessary for really life.
I constantly feel overwhelmed. Trying to learn how to live the life I want while also managing so many people and being joyful for my family.
It’s just so hard to manage it all and sometimes I just want to fall apart and melt on the floor because I feel like I’ll never be the wife and mother I truly want to be
I'm in the same boat, but 6 kids instead of 9. It's hard "growing up" with your older kids, trying to figure out life. Don't think I have any advice, really. I just keep moving forward, doing the best I can, keep learning. Roman's 8:28
Hi, I pray the Lord encourages you today and gives you strength. Thank you Father, for the plan you have for this wife and mother, and her family. I thank You Father that You have not forgotten her, You see her and You love her. Thank You for giving her fresh inspiration today, and that she be able to lay any and all burdens at your feet. Thank you for a fresh vision, that she gets to do daily life with her family. Thank You for giving her eyes to see beauty in the small everyday moments. Thank You for Your promises that children are an inheritance from You- Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them. Thank You Father, that this wife and her husband are blessed because of the children that You have given them. In Jesus name I pray amen.
I like to make crystallized peel for a candy replacement. It’s also a nice anti nausea nibble and for Christmas baking.
Ooo, I have never thought of doing that!! I will look up a recipe for this, thank you!!
@@homewithkelli MY recipe is make a heavy syrup with 2 cups water and 3 cups sugar (raw organic preferred) its VERY thick. Then slowly simmer diced peel until they turn like jewels and lay out on parchment. Some people like to then sprinkle with sugar for a frosted look. It's definitely not a health item but a nice treat.
I also love Pride and Prejudice, both the movie and the book. I was a Little House fan growing up, so I will always love those books too. Right now I'm going through the Anne of Green Gables series.
Oh that is so fun! And what book are you on with Anne of Green Gables? I've only read the first but I now I have the next two, so I'm excited to read them, but I'll probably re read the first again for a refresh!
@@homewithkelli I'm almost finished with the 2nd book, Anne of Avonlea. I love Anne Shirley!
Hi, Kelli. I like all your content. Be blessed 🙏🏻 Some time ago I came across a video of yours in which you said that you don't have any social media except RUclips. However, entering your site, I noticed that they mentioned Facebook and Instagram and a question popped into my head - is it possible to be satisfied and fulfilled if we live without social networks or are they already an imperative part for us, our business and interests? Thank you in advance ❤ Have a blessed day 🍀
you bathroom shelf idea is called "recycling" and it always amazes me to see little projects like that.
Im curious to know what you mean by reinging in her emotions, or how he would do that?
Probably would make sense if i read the book!
Im genuinely curious, im not a crazy feminist person 😂
❤😊
I loved the father - very realistic. Filled with flaws and totally gave up trying to control his overbearing wife and wild younger daughters. Fully admitting and seeing his errors towards the end. I think he just dealt with his wife in a way that helped keep HIM sane. 😅
The 2 hour movie is not that good - sorry! Too off the plot. The older BBC one is great ... I watch that at least once a year.
To be honest with you, I was scared for your fingers when I saw you use the box cutter on this tube. Please, please, please use a little saw next time. We don't want you going to the hospital
