Your videos while I drink my coffee is one of my favorite moments moments I get to take in a day.
Thank you for having coffee with me!! ♥
Morning Beautiful Lady
Thank you so much for taking us along on your day.
Your kids were so cute giggling. I loved it. Happy life, happy kids. ❤❤❤
I watched that part over and over haha ♥♥
I love that you shared your husband teaching the kids about Jesus. So refreshing to see that - we raise goats, chickens (layers and meat), garden, homeschool, and we love Jesus. It’s so nice to have found your channel. You have taught me SO MUCH! My kids entire science “curriculum” has basically been watching your goat husbandry content with me for the last several months. 🥰😂❤️
That's incredible!! I love that! Thanks for being here ❤️❤️
So enjoyed hanging out with you today! Blessings on your family and homestead Kiddos!🌻🐛Carolyn in Ohio 🌿
Thank you for letting us have a "kid's-eyeview" of your wonderful family and farm!
Loved how excited everyone was for a treat! Reminds me -- of me with treats!! Never too old!
Awesome. Family time. Dinner looked amazing. Thank you for sharing. Love and Blessings to you all. ❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏 Doris, Penrith 🇦🇺
How are you feeling?
@@SageandStoneHomestead I am still not 100%. My doctor came over last night. He wants me to get lots of blood tests. He thinks its a virus. So on my Monday I will know more. Thank you for caring 🤗🤗

Sending lots of prayers for peace and healing. You deserve a answer to what has been keeping you down. Lord bless this beautiful woman and make her whole again, and with your healing touch wrap her in your arms and show her your love, Amen 🙏 ✝️🕊
That was so awesome!! I admire all you get done in a day!! You dinner looked delicious as always. Stay safe!🙏❤
Love this time of year but I am so exhausted by the time planting is done. But grateful for the harvest ahead...TY!
5 minutes in 100% forgot I was a 🪰for this one😂 loved the video
Love hearing Levi tell Bible stories to the kids and those precious family giggles 🥹
I love watching you enjoying your time with your family and friends. Thank you for sharing
Great video Heather. Very chill and relaxing. It felt like a hang out lol.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love how Levi does Bible time with the kiddos…so sweet!!! Thats the good life on our homesteads with farm raised children their knowledge and focus is so different from other parts of society its so sweet and innocent and it STICKS with them and in their heart no matter their age they will ALWAYS remember about daddy telling them about Jesus and instilling that in their life and hearts. Also I am like the kids you freaked me out too clearing the camera had my dying laughing 😂🤣 My lil boy cracks me up he knows when I am watching you during my shower time he hears the theme song and comes in acting like you by putting his hand on his little chest and says.. “I’m Heather”….and says you watching Mrs. Heather huh mama😂🤣😂….Love this day in the life!! 😊 Take Care, God Bless
Awe that's so sweet!! 🤩🤩
This was so peaceful to have on while I worked.
Absolutely beautiful! And hearing those giggles 💙
Totally enjoying the Ditl videos! So satisfying. Thanks for sharing 😊
Enjoy the ordinary. Every day is beautiful. Oh yeah, I gotta go check my asparagus, too. 😆
We are getting more rain so definitely have to keep up with the asparagus!! ♥
Such a lovely day to be a fly :)
Oh those biscuits look GOOD!
They are SO good and easy!
Awesome video! This is exactly what I like to see! 😃
Excellent video! Thank you for taking us along on your busy day.❤
This was so relaxing to watch ❤️
I enjoyed this one. Thank you!!!
Glad you enjoyed it! ❤️❤️
Heather I just want you to know how much I appreciate your videos. After I milk my goats I sit down with my coffee and watch your videos. Last night I had to put my beautiful Nubian down at the vet. I appreciate all your insight on the goats. We have wet ground too and we have a real problem here with worms. I'm trying the bioworma. On another note I appreciate how you guys share your faith on your channel.
So many hugs. I'm so sorry for the loss of your Nubian 💔
I’m sorry to hear about your Nubian. I hope you’re feeling ok. I hope the bioworma works for you. I’m not noticing a lot of worm activity here but we live on the eastern plains of Colorado. Take care.
This was a fun video! I hope the analytics agree.
I'll let you know!! This is a little outside the norm for my style but it's what I could fit in. I really enjoyed making this one!
that was totally awesome! Thank you.
So sweet ❤
Oh Heather, what a beautiful, busy and productive day. You are livin the life and reapin the rewards. You and your entire family are awesome. Great job little girl! ❤❤ Aunt Beth
Thank you so much! ♥ You have been an amazing encouragement!!
Love it!
I am so jealous of that extra pair of hands you have! I have 10 kids that need to be vaccinated (over due) and ear tagged. I don't dare try to do it by myself and my husband is not able to help. Thankfully my best friend is coming for a visit in a couple weeks. She doesn't know it yet, but she's going to help me do the kids. 😜
Would they fit in the disbudding box still for the ear tag at least? I've been known to trap their heads in my shins to give injections when nobody is around. With those big kids I needed a whole adult to help me with banding though!! I feel so blessed to have GWP homestead so closeby!!
@@SageandStoneHomestead I have been thinking along those lines, but with everything going on right now, my friend will be here before I have time to build something. She is planning on moving here in the fall and then I will have a competent extra pair of hands readily available when needed.
Awesome Video
Thanks!
Hi Heather! I just got my two mini lamanchas, mom and baby. I started milking yesterday and mama is lopsided. I can barely get any milk out of one side and the other is not much better. Baby is 3 months old and still eating from mama. I am probably getting less than an ounce. It's extremely frustrating, but I'll keep working towards it. I reached out to a lamancha breeder in my area hoping she would mentor me, but unfortunately she never responded to me. I know you are extremely busy, but if you have any tips, I would love to hear them. Thank you and thank you for all your great, informative content! God bless you and your family!
Do you know if baby is able to drain her? Is she holding back milk?
@@SageandStoneHomestead I am not sure. I am new to all of this! Everything did seem to go a lot better yesterday when I was milking. She doesn't have much of an udder on the one side, so I feel that that is just the way she may be. I may try taping and see if the udder fills up because I can't tell if baby is draining her. I think a big part of it is me just getting used to milking and her getting used to me. I appreciate you answering!
❤❤❤
🤩
Heather, what a great video. Question... how do you balance it all? Homesteading, homemaking, and homeschooling. I am struggling to find a balance, and all of those things are important to me, and I want it to work. I know it won't be the same for everyone but just some great advice would be helpful.
I have touched on this in a q and a recently but I'll get to making a full chat video on it because it's a good question that I get a lot. The short answer is I don't do all the things every day and I get a lot of help from my husband and kids that isn't usually shown (usually because the camera is with me while I do things but they are off doing other things too). I don't make kefir or sourdough bread everyday, I don't harvest or plant every day, and I have a routine. Milking once a day is massively helpful in freeing up time for other things. I don't start school until the afternoon. While the kids are eating lunch I'll read to them and when they are finished we do 2-2.5 hours of formal school, 4 days a week. The rest is pretty informal learning. They read before bed every day and sometimes my husband tutors the kids in math before bed too. I'm not the best housekeeper so there is that, but my husband does baths with the kids and things like dishes and laundry very often. Usually he is the one packaging and putting away the meat harvest. There are daily priorities and non-negotiables, and the other things fit in where they can. I'll elaborate soon! ♥
@SageandStoneHomestead Omgosh. Thank you for this. It is really helpful for me. What is that that your husband is doing at dinner time? Family Bible study? Thank you for creating such great content.
@@SageandStoneHomestead I would be very interested in this type of video, because I kept thinking during watching this one that you do A LOT of work (plus us, your YT channel), and I was wondering how you balance all that in order to not be burned out.
@@sounditout34 yes he reads a chapter from the Bible over the course of many weeks and then he will read a book from the kids reading list and flip back and forth.
@@SageandStoneHomestead oh that is so cool. I love that idea.
Our mini lamancha gives about a quart a day. Is that average? Should she be making more? If so, what should I add to her feed? We do a sweet feed/lactation type of feed and alfalfa pellets 50/50. I just bought whole oats to add in for an extra treat because they are barn kept. We also do free choice hay.
If she is a first freshener that's very good. How many kids did she have? Milking once or twice a day? How long since kidding? A lot of times goats are not showing their full potential until about the 3rd lactation but I'd be so happy with a quart a day from a first fresh mini being milked once a day ♥
@@SageandStoneHomestead this is her 2nd freshening and she had 1 kid. 2 months since kidding. I’m milking twice a day. Pint in am and pint in pm.
So, she definitely should be making more then if a first freshener giving a quart once a day is the average.
Great way to put a video together. How old are those bucklings that you banded? My oldest buckling is about 9 weeks old, and I have the Side-Crusher to try.
They were 7.5 weeks old! Big though!!
@SageandStoneHomestead They did look big. Do you know how much they weighed?
No idea! I'd guess about 25 lbs each.
@@SageandStoneHomestead it's crazy how much bigger they look on video.
Hi, Heather! Question: My husband and I are having a bet. How many eggs does a chicken lay per day. just one hen. Is it only one per hen?
A great layer will lay once a day every day. Usually you get about 6 eggs a week from a production hen, average is about 4-5 eggs a week per bird but not more than one in a 24 hour period.
Question can you make ice cream with goat milk?
Yes you can!
@@SageandStoneHomestead does it taste the same and do you make it like any other ice cream? If you have a recipe please share.
What do you use for a camera? I’ve been using my phone but it is slowly failing me 😅
I use a gopro hero 9 with media mod and max lens mod! I've heard the Hero 10 and up is better than the 9.
@@SageandStoneHomestead sweet! I’ve been looking into the hero 11 but haven’t pulled the trigger on buying one yet so I’ll take this as a sign that I should 😅
Thank you!
Also love the video as always 💖
Hey Heather I hate to be a bugaboo but I haven’t gotten my mushrooms yet. Do you think anything may have gone wrong? Or should I just be patient? 😊😊😊
I'll ask, all of them should have been sent!
Thanks for sharing the day in the life of your homestead even though everyday can and will be a little different in some way. You are such a hard worker but make it look so easy. Love seeing your homestead and watching your family be together. Great family time at the table and having Dad teaching them about God/Jesus! The laughter and love (and God/Jesus) are what it's all about!! ❤
We agree, thanks for being here!
@@SageandStoneHomestead thank you so much 😊
Pure joy in this one, thank you for sharing a day in the life. So much work obviously occured as well as fun times too. Dinner looked yummy, thanks for the biscuit recipe. Hearing and seeing truly lovely family time, it's so precious. Friends visiting (hey Megan!) and helping out, sneak peek into a new member of their farm as well! I got the biggest giggles with Christine and her tongue going for a cookie, I think you teased her a little bit lol. Wonderful music and flow, thanks Heather. 💚🏡🏡💚
The thing I notice first is that the only time you sit down is while you are doing something else! You never stop moving!❤
Yeah spring is not rest time for sure!! ❤️
I just woke and you wore me out haha. I love your commitment to your lifestyle. I want this life so bad and I’m just in the beginnings of putting it all together. You make it look so easy! ❤ your brutal honesty and transparency definitely gets me through the days where I want to throw in the towel.
Oh and because of your channel, I WILL own a chocolate lamancha named E.T. someday!
LOL YES that would be amazing!!!
Such a lovely family ❤️🥰. Whenever you weed remember to take a bucket with you and put those weeds in it. 🤩. Cover with water completely and cover with lid . Let sit 2-5 weeks and you will have amazing fertilizer from Mother Nature 🤗. I’ve been doing it for years and it works amazing!
Great tip!! Thank you!
The (human lol) kids laughing at you cleaning the camera lens was so funny and cute! Very peaceful vlog. I absolutely LOVE Feral’s hairdo!! It looks like somebody used a curling iron on it haha🤣😂
I LOVE Feral's hair!!
Busy but lovely day. Love how your dog was looking at the camera waiting so patiently for a snack too. I think Feral is definitely my new favourite goat-from-a-far.
What a happy feeling day, thanks!
Oh my how much less traumatic to clip goats over pigs 😬
YES I KNOW, I did pigs once.
Your videos are always so calming! Watching your videos is how I start my morning ❤️. I have a question…… I have been told that when you harvest asparagus, you’re supposed to cut it off about 1 to 2 inches under the dirt. I see that you’re just breaking them off ,which seems so much easier 😀… Is there a “right or wrong “way to harvest asparagus?
Nope! We have actually never done it below the soil. I always either break it off or cut it off, it depends if I planned to harvest or if I just happen to be in the garden without a knife! :)
@@SageandStoneHomestead game changer!!! Thank you 🙂
You bet!!
Those asparagus are monsters lol. Can't wait till mine get a bit bigger and more productive, do you remember how many crowns you planted? I end up eating them like fresh raw snacks wile I'm in the garden lol so I need more to be able to cook in meals.
PS I never liked it at all until I grew it and tasted fresh like so many veggies are just better grown yourself.
I put 9 crowns per bed initially, those are 4x4 beds! So roughly 18 inches apart? Fresh asparagus is SO good!!
Thank you heather for sharing this. Really helps me ❤
❤❤❤
Heather - the yellow flowers in your pastures look to be invasive creeping buttercup. I am noticing it in my pastures in bare spots here. If so, it may be something you want to try to eradicate.
“Impacts. Creeping buttercup's competitive growth crowds out other plants, especially in wet soils. One plant can spread over a 40 square foot area in a year. Creeping buttercup also depletes potassium in the soil and so can have a detrimental effect on surrounding plants”
Also “Fresh buttercup plants are toxic to grazing animals, who can suffer from salivation, skin irritation, blisters, abdominal distress, inflammation, and diarrhea. Fortunately, buttercup has a strong, bitter taste so animals generally try to avoid it if more palatable forage is available.”
Thanks for sharing!!
We are rotational grazing to try to improve our pastures so I am more concerned about the crowding out good forage and depletion of soil aspect.
The only thing we can do is spray 2-4D every year sometimes twice. I'm really unwilling to do that, plus we lack the equipment for it. May try to seed some early growing late winter crop like red clover to help outcompete.
@@SageandStoneHomestead that may help! I don’t blame you. I don’t like sprays either. I picked up a 50 pound bag of whole oats to try to seed and build up weak areas, hoping eventually to improve them. Baby steps are still steps in any area on a busy farm!
Wow heather! Was you castrating the Billie’s? Can you make a video about that? I’m so new about goats, I have 15 goats now. And I’ve been following you as my teacher. You’re a Great lady!
Here's the video I took on that! ruclips.net/video/Zldyvuccnck/видео.html
Hello Heather 😊 such a beautiful garden, farm , and family!
I was wondering 🤔, do you ever have a me time ? 😅
I know Homestead is not easy , but I so enjoy watching your videos. Brings such joy and peace . 😊
YES I actually get it all the time. I'm doing a video on "how I do it all" because I get that question a lot and I'll roll that part into the answer!
