I call it my annual hibernation period. It's a part of 'Sads' a real seasonal disorder due to low sunshine (and it gets low in the UK!!) I have daylight bulbs in my lights now, but it still gets tiring waiting for spring!
Thanks so much Bri! I also struggle this time of year so have been making myself go outside when the sun is shining and prune my fruit trees, transplant some berry bushes, etc. Not a lot, just enough to get up and out and feel productive. You find your groove and I'll happily enjoy whatever videos you put out when you feel like making them. Sending love and blessings your way!
I was just checking to see if you made a video recently and here you are. Thank you for the heads up. The great thing about vlogs is you just let life happen. There doesn't need to be a how to, or subject or whatever. You be you.
I know! We sort of have to hibernate yet gotta get the basic done. I live in senior housing & we grams have a hen party almost every evening & we all say that! Lol.
I just found you today and loved your video, your content. Have been viewing them for some hours now. I hope I had such a beautifull garden. You do so much. You are inspiring. I want and have a little garden but I do have land. You do alot with all your family and kids. It's April 1 and I want to plant, need prepare the land. I saw your land is compact in ways and you added compost to be able to plant. My land looks like yours. I would like to know how to prepare it. I am a 65 year old grandma living alone so I do not have any helpers. So need to know how to approach it little by little to be able to maximize the land and sow time . Thank you for all your inspiration. God bless you and your family. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I just bought the white adjustable shelving you showed in the last video and I am so happy with the way you can make the shelves fit your needs. All small appliances are now organized beautifully, THANKS. I have seasonal affective disorder it can make you sluggish and slow I did not believe it was real at first. It is, try the lights made for this it actually helps. I lived in Florida 3 years and guess what, no February March downs. It is the lack of sun. Even chickens do poorly laying during winter darkness. Maybe we are chickens🤣. See you soon.
I really appreciate your concern for your subscribers. It does matter to us what is going on with your family and it's endearing that you care enough to reassure us that nothing is wrong. Diane .
Many people want to label down time as some type of problem. Nature has always given us a normal cycle of resting time to rejuvenate. That is an important part of most living things in the cycle of life. Embrace it , it's who we all are . Spring is coming and the normal uptick in our energy will follow. ❤
Praying for all of your family . Praying for mental clarity and wisdom. Praying for Art to be stronger and have mental clarity . Praying for you Bri for much needed strength to put your faith more to God. Be blessed you for more wisdom and peace within you with Gods ❤️ 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I love that you know yourself this well. I had no clue in my younger daze, how the seasonal changes affected me. Now in my 60's I am clued in so to speak but I still have challenges.
You are so right. All the holiday hype+less sunshine+ no real gardening +colds and flu’s = lower energy and “ the blahs! Thank you for this video because yes, we miss you and the kids and worry also creeps in! Love and best to all of you always💖🤗👍👍🙏🙏
I am looking for an update(s) on the garden this year. You did a lot of things last year to a turf grass area. Would love to see what worked better than others and all the things.
My daughter is the same way. She keeps going but its hard to transition when the sun isn't out. We buy all the plants and plan the garden. She runs 2 co-ops for her homeschooling and keeps busy. But the energy is definitely different during this time of year
January is our households time to reset and get back to our routine. Not sure if same where you are, but here in the Midwest we had a dark January. Our local news was reporting on how it was apparently the darkest January in 25 years. I definitely am ready for that sunlight! Good luck with your transition!
Oh fellow momma of many. This is a special time of year for sure. Maybe even a more special season of your life to have this February. We load up all 11 of us and head south for some sun before lent. Thank you for the inspiration you have given me!
Ty for the update. I've been watching for videos. I can relate. We have been building more goat stalls for kidding. It's cold and my 50 yr old body hurts . I also work full time. I'm tired and don't wanna be outside today.
I was just wondering where you guys were. Good to hear everything and everyone is ok. I definitely understand the Feb meh. I live in northern Michigan, I knit, watch the lake and rest in the winter. Sending lots of love, prays and ❤💡
Gosh I miss you Bri and am praying that all is going well for you. I miss the kids, the garden, the cooking and just hanging out with all of you. Sending you love always💖🤗👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
We drive over to our local mall, and because we have cold weather and very little sun; my husband and I walk 3- 4 miles a day. We get to see other walkers and have access to Americana coffee and hot herbal tea! Its uplifting plus on Sundays we attend church in person to hear The Word. Bri, thank you for sharing.
I love your mom bun! January and February are my down times. I want to open up the windows and let fresh air blow in, but I'm staring at snow. I enjoy seeing a day in the life. What's going on with all the kids kind of day. We will enjoy whatever you decide to share with us. Have a good week.
Thanks for sharing! I was thinking about you guys and wondering what was going on ❤. Praying for direction from the Lord and wisdom as you make decisions.
I agree with the sentiment of others, that I appreciate your concern for your followers. I also need to add, dear Bri, girl, you are rocking that mom-bun! You are beautiful. Enjoy some winter hibernation with your family! ❤❤
You aren’t alone… we all need one of those vit c lights to sit in ftont of during this down season.. always happens after Cmas and New Years then dreaded tax season and cloudy cold drab days that follow…sigh…there is hope tho.. we have had a couple of spring type days sparingly before the next cold patch and buttercups have bloomed, so won’t b long now!! I’m busy planting seed trays and painting Easter crafts and making my wreaths..!! Glad u all r ok.. 🩷🙏🩷
Take all the time you need. Same thing happens to me when we have less daylight. Ughh.... BTW- your bun looks goods. Love and hugs to the entire family. Peace and blessings❤❤❤
Appreciated Bri. I feel like I hibernate a little in winter with the shorter days (I sleep much more since the kids are grown) and I do have Seasonal Affective Disorder with the fewer sunny days. Thank you for the message. We appreciate you all.
Thank you for the vlog!!! Its nice to know all are well!!! January and February are hard months to get thru for me also!!! I totally get it!!! Spring will be here soon!!! Take care to you and your beautiful family!! God Bless You All!!
I go through that too. It's like I just do what I have to, I,m not depressed, just tired and missing the sun and warmth. I'm glad y'all are well, take all the time you need, life can be hard but you will get through it.
Thanks, Bri. This SAD period is actually a good time to let your creative juices percolate. That's actually one reason you have already started trying out some new things. I know whatever way you and the family choose will be best for now. Love you just the same.
I get cabin fever every year. Because I can't be out in the cold so I crochet all kind of hats adult to baby and donate them to friends ,families and church and hospitals and even baby sweaters hat and booties sets. Thank you for up dating. God bless you all.
Ooooh, Betty altho I'm down south USA, I get cabin fever, aka the 'winter doldrums' also. ❤ Past decades I loved crocheting gifts. But got painful osteoarthritic 'trigger thumb'. I look at pictures & wish. 😢 Hi Bri, love you Hope mid-winter went well for y'all. Won't be as long as it has been getting through this one. Stayed prayed up all. ❤️✝️🙏💞🧓
I totally understand. In Montana, we call those the winter blues. I get through February knowing my birthday is at the end of the month! I consider St Patty’s Day the start of Spring. Which will only be 2 weeks away then.
Thank you for the update, we do worry lol, but oh I get ya February is always a hard month for me also, i call it my spring fever itch, my grown children say ugh it's February moms crazy month haha but new grandbaby girl coming in 4 days , thinking my daughter planned my last grandchild coming this month on purpose haha.... Stay well much love
Thank you! for the up date reminder that you do take this time of year off. The first year I was watching you when you were on the farm you disappeared for several weeks and I did worry.
Hey Bri, I saw the Rhodes kids walked over from their house,pretty cool❣️🌟. I feel yah,I have paperwork that i keep staring at,but that doesn't get it done😵💫. Do your thing ,as long as you are okay sweet lady❤.
I've always had what I call "the slows" in the last half of January and all of march. I don't want to do much and whatever does get done seems to take longer, which is why I call it "the slows"

Oh I know this season of doing only the most important .... 😊 Maybe you husband has that inspiration or the kids? Love in Christ to you sister Brianna!
Bri, I just want you to know that I really miss our visits with you and the kids….the garden, your cooking and just the everyday activities that go on in a big family. It takes me back to when my 5 were little…a time that went way too fast and that I get a glimpse of with you. If it counts at all, I would sure like to see you, art and the kids again. And if it is just you again, then girlfriend, I’m here for you. You are loved, you are appreciated and you are missed,🤗🩷🙏
We enjoy all your content and I feel you on the gloom and doom January and February. It’s just always so dark and gray very little sunshine. We want to hibernate just like some animals and plants do. Lol
We appreciate your videos and letting us into your life. My advice to you from a fellow youtuber is to take a week and make a bunch of videos. Maybe 5 to 7. Then, when you are tired and need a break from editing, you can just make one of those extra videos public. Gives you a few days' grace. And a continue income source. Hope all is well with you guys.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us Bri! And of course, just like our earth has seasons, so do we as humans! Winter is the season where things hibernate, and go dormant, and some of us do too! ❤ don’t worry, we’ll be here! Much love from south TX 🙏🏻 Ps- Becky from acre homestead has THE BEST Mom bun! I have asked her several times to do a tutorial for us lol 😂 😂😂
I miss you guys! I can’t wait to be back here whatever you chose to film and share I’m sure I’ll watch🫶🏼 I’m also struggling to put content out but April is now here give it two more weeks and we’ll be back! God bless and have a wonderful week🌿
Hi Bree, thank you so much for the video I would be one of those subscribers that would be worried sick about you and Our and the kids if you suddenly went away again, so I definitely appreciate you honing in to the instinct of yours of love and care, you save me from a heartache and unnecessary heartache 😅! Love to all!
I love Bri and Art; however, I do notice that when Bri is with Art, her newfound self confidence becomes somewhat diminished. I pray my assessment is either wrong and/or Bri’s self confidence becomes even stronger.
As a viewer, I think sometimes *established* creators " over think" what their viewers "want." Often I subscribed just because #1 we "seem" to have a few things in " common." #2 you make me laugh #3 I learn things from you, often they are simple reminders. #4 we don't watch much tv, so I often sub to relaxing/grounded subjects. ❤Just be YOU, and when you post, we will watch. As for analyzing YT has not been consistent even for subscribers....so I am not sure how much energy I would put into those numbers....every day I look into my saved video categories ( bread for example) and I see hidden videos have been removed and I am like WHY YT?! Its JUST BREAD! Leave it ALONE ! Lol!
I hope you continue with what you have been doing in the past, gardening, cooking, kids. Love watching your happy kids growing up. Your channel is successful doing what it has been doing. Enjoy your month off, refresh, relax, rest up. Karen ❤
Bri, I TOTALLY understand how you feel in Jan and Feb. I live in Wisconsin and I hate winter. If I could move, I would. Anyhow, January is the hardest month for me...February too. Up hear we hardy ever have the sun and it very cold. So, I am very lazy those 2 months. But, that is ok too. Winters are very hard for me to get through. I don't go outside unless I have too because of the cold. I understand what you're saying, Bri. Have a beautiful week. Love you, Art and family. ❤
Native Americans prepared in advance for February and some of March because they were rest months while the earth slept and took a break. So it makes sense that we rest and take a time for ourself
I like to hear from you, Bri, about things on your heart and mind and to see you guys work and play together. I also like to see when you have friends over.
I call it my annual hibernation period. It's a part of 'Sads' a real seasonal disorder due to low sunshine (and it gets low in the UK!!) I have daylight bulbs in my lights now, but it still gets tiring waiting for spring!

It must be D3 to be effective. There are several kinds of Vitamin D. 😊

I totally get the wintertime SAD. We, like chickens, start perking up and get industrious as the days get longer! Take care!😍
Please come back, SOUTH GEORGIA PEACH 🍑 ❤❤❤
Bri, thanks for this! Looking forward to gardening, and summer fun videos. I have SAD, can’t wait for longer days to come.
Stephan Covey “ 7 Habits of Highly Successful People” called this phase , “ sharpening your saw” and I highly recommend this book.
Praying for all of your family . Praying for mental clarity and wisdom. Praying for Art to be stronger and have mental clarity . Praying for you Bri for much needed strength to put your faith more to God. Be blessed you for more wisdom and peace within you with Gods ❤️ 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Hibernating is a thing! Cozy but so true! I liked this share!
I love that you know yourself this well. I had no clue in my younger daze, how the seasonal changes affected me. Now in my 60's I am clued in so to speak but I still have challenges.
ME TOO....🥴😵💫🤤..... then I get 😏🧐🥳😬🤫🤭🤗😋.... more sun, I go...😊😉🙃🙂😆😀😇😇🥰😎🤠🥳...
It's called Seasonal Affected Disorder. It means you affected by the seasons. 💖🌞🌵😷
Affective.
You are so right. All the holiday hype+less sunshine+ no real gardening +colds and flu’s = lower energy and “ the blahs! Thank you for this video because yes, we miss you and the kids and worry also creeps in! Love and best to all of you always💖🤗👍👍🙏🙏
I totally understand. My energy level is so like -20 right now, my yard is a mess, my green stalks are stacked down and a mess. 😂
I am looking for an update(s) on the garden this year. You did a lot of things last year to a turf grass area. Would love to see what worked better than others and all the things.

I am amazed at you mommas that can take care of your families and do RUclips. You are amazing. I get so unmotivated in the winter.
It's easy when you don't have to work a full time job
I can relate. My energy level is low also during the gray days.
Ty for the update. I've been watching for videos. I can relate. We have been building more goat stalls for kidding. It's cold and my 50 yr old body hurts . I also work full time. I'm tired and don't wanna be outside today.
Sporadic, you mean non existent! ❤ hopefully you’ll be back soon!
I was just wondering where you guys were. Good to hear everything and everyone is ok. I definitely understand the Feb meh. I live in northern Michigan, I knit, watch the lake and rest in the winter. Sending lots of love, prays and ❤💡

I think we all suffer from that to a certain level. So happy you are giving us an update. The Community page is a good place to do that too.
Thanks for the update and keeping us in the loop.

Thank you for posting, Your posts make my week. I have been missing them but happy to know you are just recalibrating for Spring!
You take your time ,and we are glad for the update, and keeping your family in our prayers!

Me too in January and February. I am patiently waiting for the sun and Spring! 😂🥰
I go through that too. It's like I just do what I have to, I,m not depressed, just tired and missing the sun and warmth. I'm glad y'all are well, take all the time you need, life can be hard but you will get through it.
Thanks for checking in & I’m glad that all is well. I consider winter a time for ‘inside’ work. Have a healthy happy week🤗🇨🇦
January and February are tough months for me too.
We love what you’ve been doing . Agree would love to see more of the kids at the old place with the animals and such.
Thanks, Bri. This SAD period is actually a good time to let your creative juices percolate. That's actually one reason you have already started trying out some new things. I know whatever way you and the family choose will be best for now. Love you just the same.

I live in northern Maine!! I feel that way till the end of March!!
Thank you! for the up date reminder that you do take this time of year off. The first year I was watching you when you were on the farm you disappeared for several weeks and I did worry.
I hear and relate so much to this. I, too always have a hard time this time of year keeping up with all the things.
Hey Bri, I saw the Rhodes kids walked over from their house,pretty cool❣️🌟.
I feel yah,I have paperwork that i keep staring at,but that doesn't get it done😵💫.
Do your thing ,as long as you are okay sweet lady❤.

I was having a look to see if you had posted. I know I can't deal with the geat in the Australian summer. Come autumn I will want to be out and about.
Oh I know this season of doing only the most important .... 😊 Maybe you husband has that inspiration or the kids? Love in Christ to you sister Brianna!
I’m like a 🐻 bear in the winter I hibernate. ❤🙏❤️
I feel you Bri..Godbless your family❤
Can't wait to see some garden and planting and all of you all again ❤
Bri, I just want you to know that I really miss our visits with you and the kids….the garden, your cooking and just the everyday activities that go on in a big family. It takes me back to when my 5 were little…a time that went way too fast and that I get a glimpse of with you. If it counts at all, I would sure like to see you, art and the kids again. And if it is just you again, then girlfriend, I’m here for you. You are loved, you are appreciated and you are missed,🤗🩷🙏
I have missed you and your family 😢
I thought this was how you supported your family. Hope you do ok.
We enjoy all your content and I feel you on the gloom and doom January and February. It’s just always so dark and gray very little sunshine. We want to hibernate just like some animals and plants do. Lol
We appreciate your videos and letting us into your life. My advice to you from a fellow youtuber is to take a week and make a bunch of videos. Maybe 5 to 7.

I’m curious would like to know if we will get updates on the farm house. No pressure but I’d love to know where the house progress is.
I hope all is well. Long time no video. Take care. God bless!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us Bri! And of course, just like our earth has seasons, so do we as humans! Winter is the season where things hibernate, and go dormant, and some of us do too! ❤ don’t worry, we’ll be here! Much love from south TX 🙏🏻
Ps- Becky from acre homestead has THE BEST Mom bun! I have asked her several times to do a tutorial for us lol 😂 😂😂
I miss you guys! I can’t wait to be back here whatever you chose to film and share I’m sure I’ll watch🫶🏼 I’m also struggling to put content out but April is now here give it two more weeks and we’ll be back! God bless and have a wonderful week🌿
Hi Bree, thank you so much for the video I would be one of those subscribers that would be worried sick about you and Our and the kids if you suddenly went away again, so I definitely appreciate you honing in to the instinct of yours of love and care, you save me from a heartache and unnecessary heartache 😅! Love to all!
Can’t help but notice that when her husband comes back, her light seems a little dimmer. 🙏
How so? Like her "Inner light"? She seems happy to me. He's an integral part of this family IMHO
I disagree completely. Love Art and that they are working things out.
I get what she’s saying about the winter months. I’m the same.
I love Bri and Art; however, I do notice that when Bri is with Art, her newfound self confidence becomes somewhat diminished. I pray my assessment is either wrong and/or Bri’s self confidence becomes even stronger.
Hoping to see you back soon

Its exciting to think about your goals for the channel! Enjoy that process. I hope you have some rest time too.
Hi Bri … I love you Art and the kids. Looking forward to your next video . Blessings to you all. ❤️🙏
I love watching u in the kitchen cooking for your beautiful family and love watching your hauls but just love watching your beautiful family
Praying your all doing well. Just want you know your missed.
I’ve missed you ! You have to take care of you with all those children. Enjoy them while they are littles
I struggle at this time of year, too. Please rest and recoup your energy.
Bri, I TOTALLY understand how you feel in Jan and Feb. I live in Wisconsin and I hate winter. If I could move, I would. Anyhow, January is the hardest month for me...February too. Up hear we hardy ever have the sun and it very cold. So, I am very lazy those 2 months. But, that is ok too. Winters are very hard for me to get through. I don't go outside unless I have too because of the cold. I understand what you're saying, Bri. Have a beautiful week. Love you, Art and family. ❤
Native Americans prepared in advance for February and some of March because they were rest months while the earth slept and took a break. So it makes sense that we rest and take a time for ourself
Hi! It’s been two more weeks. Any plans for a new video of you and the kids at home? Would love it. God bless!
Get some full-spectrum light bulbs, also fluorescent ones. Might help. (It helps with Seasonal Affective Disorder SAD)
Here when you're ready. ❤ Praying for God's richest blessings on you and your family!!
Thank you for sharing this with us. Praying for your family. ❤
Thank you Bri. Rest and restore yourself! I am praying for you and your family!
Getting into a winter funk is pretty normal. Life is a journey of travelling through seasons. Seasons change. 🙂☀🌳
Good of you !! So just keep popping in ,, it really does make me think where are you. . Take care . Don’t
😆you know us well! I appreciate the update and am so very happy to hear all is well.....and we'll be here when you do get back!
It is normal. February is the longest short month.
Love your mom bun..I can't seem to make them messy...they always look like a doughnut on my head😂😂
I like to hear from you, Bri, about things on your heart and mind and to see you guys work and play together. I also like to see when you have friends over.
