Amen. I grew up doing all this homestead stuff and my husband and I start doing it ourselves 14 years ago. I’m not stopping but I’m over it too! We had a baby in august and honestly he’s one of my higher needs babies and I just need a break. I know it’s not the end of my passion, I have six kids and they’ve all been born between may and September and those transitions can be tough. 2 were seemless, but 4 were more energy consuming. I get it though. I’m happy to see the frost arrive this week. I dried off one of my milk cows early and got a second foster calf for my other so we can wean her spring calf but continue with the flexibility of calf sharing. Last summer I killed it with cheese making and using every bit of dairy that came in. This year I’m only making butter and yogurt and the pigs are drinking all the rest. There just aren’t enough hours in the day and I had to let go of the guilt of all I “wasted” from the garden and the dairy cows. I’ve got a steer that’s past ready to butcher too but he’s just got to wait because I don’t have energy or the two weeks of time it will take to process and get him in the freezer….likewise there are turkeys and rabbits in the barnyard waiting until I have time to process them too….but right now the people of the homestead must come first!
May I just peek my head around the corner, having not been invited, and say mama you’re ok to do only what you can accomplish. Nothing else is wasted or whatever. You’re doing a fabulous job sustaining little humans lives. ❤
I learned this year, through lot's of prayer and time with the Lord, that the feeling of wasting things is truly from the enemy. The Lord tells us He will provide, and we must rely on Him for that. I stopped worrying so much about it and my life and spirit are so much more free. I know He will provide.
@@suzettelorraine6993 I totally agree!! ❤️
Yes high needs babies really do make aa difference as far as what can get done on a homestead! Congrats on your new babe!
Ecclesiastes 3:1 “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.” We grow tired and need rest from it all as the seasons change, all in the Lord's plan!❤
😢😢😢
Hey!!! I am right there with you!!! So good to have a winter break! ❤
I wished they had something like thrive market in Germany. We have organic stores here, but they don’t deliver. But I have a farmer close by, who delivers a box of organic veggies, fruits, eggs and some meat. That helps.
i'll be pp in late winter into spring so skipping the store trip is something i'll be planning on doing then to cut back my responsibilities! thanks for the tip. love your deep thinking chats, you could totally just plop the audio to podcast format and i'd listen while i drive😁😉
Even though Our 4 Children are older,2 actually are in their early twenties and don’t live at home anymore. The other 2 are teenagers,they help some. They work at a Montessori Preschool half the day. My Husband works two jobs,since we are trying to pay off our house and be debt free!
I have had a hard time keeping up with the Gardens, the chickens,bunnies and dogs. The Cooking,Preserving from the Harvest, House Keeping,Laundry 🧺and more! I have prayed about what to cut lose! Won’t go into the details of Personality. Just a little venting.
Here Southern Oregon, we have long growing season as well. Usually from the beginning off April until the beginning of November.
We got a lot of Tomatoes this year, mostly Cherry/Grape Tomatoes. A Fair Amount of Romas. We make quite a bit of Salsa. We all really like homemade Tomato Soup! I have found I can do a similar base for Tomato Soup and Pasta Sauce. Put it in Jars. Then when it I go to use it for meals, I can add to it.
I do make some Tomato Pie with the Romas. Also some Toasted Cheese Bread with the small tomatoes.
Also make Fried Green Tomatoes.
Because of so much Tomatoes this year, I had a hard time keeping up with the Zucchini’s and Cucumbers as far as Preserving.
We still have Pumpkins and Butternut Squash to Harvest!
This time of year, I'm glad for my garden to be done, too. It's time to tear things out and then rest my body.
I'm very excited for my garden to go to sleep for the winter. I understand what you're saying. Harvest time arriving when homeschool begins is stressful to me. Our garden did very well, which is a blessing, but also overwhelming. I over planted expecting most to not do well as usual, but it all grew, and kept going up until the frost!
By the looks of that baby (ie, size,) he looks like a 13yro😅 He is getting so big😍 Im amazed how much you do in spite of your large family & not always upto Par🌝
Your voice is very soothing and calm.
I used your link and have gotten 2 deliveries. So far I've found all of the items I've bought to be super good. Love their spaghetti sauce, salsa salad dressing( I've tried green goddess and currently using ranch and omg so good.) I've bought ketchup and BBQ sauce too. And other odds and ends. Very happy with the service too. How amazing to have it delivered to my door! Just unpack and put away! Never thought I would do something like this but so very happy I did. Thanks Stef!!
Love your authenticity!
Same here! I've been letting my goats in to eat all the weeds.
Agh so nice to hear this from another mom! I get so over it as well with a new baby and early pregnancy!
What jeans do you wear?? They look high waisted and comfy but still with structure and quality fabric.
What brand of refrigerators do you have? What do you like/don't like about them? As a homesteader, I am needing a fridge with more space inside. Thanks!
i didn't have the time to start and care for a garden this year even tho i love it and wish i would have but hopefully next spring. my garden space is looking really rough at the moment too lol
Oh girl no I feel the same way😅 We live in Vermont and I'm STILL waiting on frost so I can harvest my kale and SHUT. IT. DOWN.
We FINALLY got out frost this morning! Never been so happy about it! 😂
I’m in northern VT- bordering Mansfield St Forest… there’s snow not far up from us, but our house is almost a month behind normal last frost!! Wild!
@@VermontsyrupHBF Seriously it is crazy! We are in East Bethel!
Hey gurl! I just love your cute family and your videos! I learn something within each one. xo Your Catholic Friend Nancy from OHIO
I recently read that eating too many Brazil nuts can lead to toxic levels of selenium.
So you didn't cook the pasta first you just dumped into the sauce? Saves so much time!
Yep! Since I didn't juice the tomatoes, all of the water content made the sauce very liquidy which makes it perfect for cooking pasta in
Can I ask what carrier you’re using? My son is 4 months nearly and I think we may need to move on from the wrap xx
I’d like to get one for my daughter-in-law 😊
Looks like the ergobaby wrap. The basic one, not the 360
I get like that also! This year has been so hard with a new born too😅
Ive never heard anyone else say it takes them a yeat to get back into all the things. Its exactly how I feel. We're expecting baby #6 in late spring and i already know my husband will be in charge of planting this year. 😅
My sister and I have 8 between us and we both agree that the first YEAR postpartum we are only running at half speed lol!
@@HopewellHeights 100% agree. Thanks for helping me feel "normal".
I enjoyed this!!
Enjoyed the video 😊
Hi, would you only do the one pot spaghetti with Juliett tomatoes or could you use other tomatoes? Thank You for you content it’s wonderful ❤
Can you make tomato sauce and freeze it? I don't do canning, don't have the equipment or space and it's just me, but I like "Fresh & convenience". If I can freeze, it should be in glass jars and how long will it last?
You can make Tomato Sauce and Freeze it! It is not a good idea to freeze in Jars. Jars can crack in the freezer or when thawing out. Freezer bags are best. I also make homemade Tomato Soup. The base for Tomato Sauce and Tomato Soup is similar and easy!😁🥰😇
Praise Yahweh for Yahshua HalleluYah 😊 Shalom ❤
Enjoy watching your videos! Baby looks uncomfortable.
What is your blog address?
I've just had a baby 4 weeks ago, he is a super needy baby, needs to be on me constantly. I have no time to do the garden or even get in the kitchen much, but I know I'll get back into it , once he's old enough , but for now I'm just doing what I can!
He's not needy, he's normal ❤️
That's all you can do hun! Your next season will look so much different, so don't forget to enjoy the season you're currently in!
I'm in the same boat with my 10 week old
😊😊
Does your husband help you at all? I hope so.
Can you introduce yourself please ? We have no idea of your first name.😊
Stephanie 😊
I think your baby needs a different carrier. He always looks so uncomfortable. His poor little neck
