Vegan baked stuffed shells (I doubled this recipe for my family of 7)
16 oz wheat jumbo shell pasta
2 large jars of your favorite marinara
1 cup packed spinach, chopped
Basil for garnish
For the ricotta
1 package firm tofu (pressed in a towel for 10 minutes to get out excess liquid)
1 cup raw cashews, soaked in hot water for 30 minutes
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
1 Tbsp Apple cider vinegar
1/2 tsp salt
1 t garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
Drain the cashews then pulse the ricotta ingredients in a high speed blender until mostly smooth, using the tamper to push the ingredients in the blade.
For the parmesan
1 cup raw cashews
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
Pulse the ingredients in a dry high speed blender on medium / low until powder fine. Store in an airtight container in the fridge or counter and garnish on all kinds of pastas.
Cook pasta halfway then take out and place on a baking tray lined with a bit of olive oil to keep it from sticking as it cools. Keep the pasta sheets separate from each other so they don’t stick too. Then place a thin layer of marinara on the bottom of a large casserole dish. Mix in the chopped spinach into the ricotta with a spoon. Then fill each shell with the ricotta mixture and place on the casserole dish. Top with plenty of marinara and sprinkle on the cashew parmesan. Bake at 350F for 20 minutes covered with aluminum foil. Then take off the aluminum foil and bake for 15 more minutes. Let cook for 5 minutes out of the oven then serve!

Spend all the time you can with your children, they grow up so fast. My son got married yesterday and I can’t believe how quickly the last 28 years went by. I have lots of beautiful memories of his childhood that made me cry as I watched him dance with his bride yesterday.
So true! Seems it was yesterday my second child made her first steps and now I'm choosing her washing machine for her first appartment!!!!!
Thank you for this. My oldest son is 7, and it feels like he was just 7 months...the same age that our youngest boy is now. Time is crazy.
That is so amazing. Truely agree with this
I’ve been here since the beginning. I know how hard you guys have worked from moving to Hawaii and building your family and land. It probably feels scary, even financially, to take a step back. But just know the internet isn’t going away, we will all still be here. You take the time you need ❤
Same to you Katie! If you ever wanted to get back in the blogging world we are here. Big fan!!
A year and a half ago I quit a good paying job that took me away from my family too much, for a part time job that is no stress and pays me almost nothing. I am way happier now - I get it.
Im there too ❤ nothing beats more time with family ❤
How!? How do you get paid almost nothing and still make a household run? How because while I have all the "tools" to raise kids I do not have a "means" to raise my kids.. and working is the only the only way to provide those tools for kids.. I don't understand.
@@destrybabyy my husband went from part time to full time. And we live within our means.
Thank you for sharing this. I have a very stressful job and a 6 month old. I hope you see this post. I hope I quit my job.
Having children is a full time job, and you have many of them! You juggle a lot already! Take a break for a while or make some shorter videos or just less posting in general…but always prioritize the family! You have a beautiful one ❤
Making videos means making money and money allows them to put a roof over their head and food on the table.
In their place I would wish for another loving adult in the family to be present with the kids.
@@gesztidaniel Her husband should get a job.
@@gesztidaniel yeah that’s why I said possibly posting less or making less detailed videos so that she can still make money but not put her entire life into it. Lmao
@@sandrab2589 Her husband does plenty of
@@reohina3539 All of the financial stress is on Ellen. I have seen this many times in marriages and it never ends well. He needs to get a job. He is college-educated and must be able to bring in some steady income.
What many do not realize is that you simply can't do it all, you have to choose, and choosing family is always the best choice.
It’s the best choice but for many families they don’t have a choice but to work.
with your videos the kids in the background are not disturbing. They make it real. And your baby joining you while you talk with us is just cute. No worries. You are making great content.
You have no idea how enriching your videos are to me. Often when I feel lost in this materialistic world I come to your page and get reminded of what really matters to me. You inspire me in so many ways, thank you for that❤️
This isn’t a knock to anything Ella’s is saying, but a shout for those moms out there who don’t have the option to cut back on their job to be more present for their children just know I see you and you are just as amazing!!!❤
Totally agree, great if you have the option to cut work back and still maintain a home and all activities your kids want you to do do and I am glad she is able to achieve this and be happy for her. But there is many esp in this recession that definitely do not have an option to cut back work due to financial restraints and thus are not able to spend that time with our loved ones, it’s sad that the world is in this state that you have to choose work over family:(
This!!!
That’s me 😢
My selfishness says, I don’t want to not see your videos.. they have inspired me for years and years. But my heart says, she is evolving and needs better for her family. 😂 absolutely love you Ellen, you have support from your followers and we do understand your priorities! Thank you for being a constant source of inspiration and knowledge, your channel has brought many things into my life for the better ❤❤❤
I completely agree.
This expressed it all. The internal struggle is real. I have a feeling she is going to announce that she is cutting back on her youtube presence. I am hoping that is not so, for purely selfish reasons, but I my love and respect which outweighs my selfishness wishes her all the best in whatever she feels is best for her and her family.
She Is not evolving. They are no longer vegans 😉
I take it all back.. I’m mad and selfish, I want Ellen back 😂😂😂
You are lucky Ellen, you have your husband all day at home with you, I brought my 4 children up with my husband out at work all day, he couldn’t help me with that, I also worked and I know you do but with Andrew home all day with you it makes life easier for you, honestly its so much harder doing it on your own 😞
She's from a privileged background also
@@Brooke52528 You’re right she is, I’ve read about other RUclipsrs that homeschool their children and how beneficial it is, I considered it for my boys but when we put pen to paper we just couldn’t afford it, I think people need to be mindful that we are not all in a position to do this, we don’t have a choice.
My life would be so much more stress free if I had my husband home with me all day as well. Lol. He works and I stay home with the kids. This is a dream life she paints that most of us can't have unfortunately!
@@vivianamorales5258 I do think the world of Ellen but sadly she is a little out of touch how hard it is for some families out there.
Ellen’s like my internet mom 😂😭. Her videos have always been so healing to me !
i miss your videos, i hope you and your beautiful family are happy and thriving. i’ve just found out im pregnant with my first baby and am rewatching all of your old videos. you were my comfort youtuber and got me through some really difficult times. will forever be grateful for you 🫶🏼🫶🏼
I started following you when I was just a teen before I even met my husband and now three kids later we’re starting our homestead trying to become self sustainable… I honestly don’t know if I would’ve been inspired to do half the things I’ve done thus far breaking barriers changing growing breaking generational curses … thanks for helping me be a better mom you have a beautiful heart Ellen and I appreciate you !
❤ Same here!! Ellen, you were my paradigm shift Mama when I was 15 and now at 24 I’m married with 1 baby and 1 on the way. She changed my trajectory 🥲
Same!!
No more showing the children's faces...no more videos
You and your husband made the decision to have five children. And maybe you have realized that giving them the time needed is a job in itself, otherwise you can shortchange them in some way. It seems as though you are trying to convince yourself that you are making the right decision to decrease your other work. Stop, you don't have to go on and on. Everyone who watches your channel gets it. No one is a dummy here, otherwise they wouldn't be watching. Just do what you need to do, you don't need anyone's permission.
Why do you always sound so congested
I left my very well paying job in corporate Healthcare in October due to high stress and a myriad of stress related health issues. I became a special education teaching assistant and it was the best decision I could have made for my well-being and mental health. My husband and I both realized that no amount of money is worth losing your mental health to a company that will replace you with in 14 days of your death. You take care of you and your family by doing what is best for you and your family. Much love ❤❤❤❤
Your cinematography is my favorite! While being a very realistic life your videos always protray it as paradise! Love your videos

So basically you are giving up RUclips or going on to Patreon or a paid thing is what your hinting. In a selfish way I’ve been here from the start, since Elvis was a tot and you are one of my favourite RUclipsrs which makes me very sad, I don’t enjoy the podcasts as much but children take time to grow and nourish and if you’re in a position not to have to go out to do a job or work full time you go for it. Children are small for such a short time.
She said she “rarely meets someone who doesn’t feel their life is full”. This statement is far from the truth and I Don’t believe that to be true .
I’ve never met anyone who said their life is full. Most people I know and have met are unhappy and unfulfilled.
Most want people to think they’re fulfilled and have a close to perfect life when that is not their reality.
I think she just meant busy. Like their life is full of things to do.
Video is not coming from long time.. please upload ❤️❤️
Does your husband pull the household weight the way that you do?
Based on how curt his response to her buying a brush in the beginning I doubt he does and or it may have been his idea for her to pull back from content creation which has always been something she loves doing.
without doing anything for the glory of God, when we die it's all vanity. no matter how good it may seem.
Yes, its completely plausible that if I work less and make less money, my landlord will be totally cool with me making less and not paying rent. Sounds right. She forgets not everyone has that luxury. There's nothing wrong with having a large family but in this day and age with inflation and cost of living riots a lot on parents.
except I wasn't speaking about everyone else's experience...just sharing my own. is that not obvious that I am not speaking on behalf of every single person's lived experience? We all are experiencing so many differences in life...not to mention this wasn't always my experience and I used to waitress for years, rented a tiny apartment, even lived in my parents house for 6 months with a baby to try and save money. life has so many layers and also different experiences from one decade to the next.
Does anyone know what her husband does do for a living?
He runs the back end of the business, farms their land and teaches the kids as a home educator
I love your videos. However I think you are highly disconnected from reality. As a single working mom, sometimes you can be un relatable.
Right? Like what would she do if she had a real job?
I’m a working single mom as well… this is just her reality. And hard work is hard work, she doesn’t need to have a ‘real’ job (lol what does that even mean) to have a lot to juggle.
@@elledesperado721wtf

Your vidoes haave had a massive impct on me. When i atarted watching i was a full blown addict now ive got 5 years clean, im vegan, im healthy and i turned to your video when things got hard id watch ypur beautiful videos and ive got a savimgs account growing to visit Hawwai.

We love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength as He cares for us emotionally, spiritually, mentally, and physically and heals us ❤ Spending time with Him fills us with His Spirit of love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, kindness, goodness, faithfulness & self control so we can love others as ourselves🙏
I love playing in the rain even at my age! This was truly lovely. 😊
I know this was an attempt to be relatable. However, most of us can't put "work" on the backburner to spend time with their kids. This reminds me of when Hannah told people Hello Fresh was a good option for people in food deserts.
Hannah’s life “problems” always make my eyes roll uncontrollably.
@@Sammiejammie521which companies?
@@Sammiejammie521she can literally get people to run these companies for her, and she gets money from sponsorships so she can care for her children. SHE can put work on the back burner. We can’t. Imagine being this loud and wrong.
Should I show my son’s face? Should I not? If I decide to show my son’s face, at what age do I stop????
@@bensondeadfromtheneckup5057imagine y’all being miserable bc you don’t have someone else’s life when you can choose to watch more “relatable” channels if you actually wanted to
ahh, my heart. so beautiful and wholesome. love your perceptive on calling it highlight media instead of social medial. and comparison is truly ruining our self confidence, one swipe at a time
Tuning in after a long time and I am honestly so happy for your kids to see that you’re not showing their faces anymore.
This was such a beautiful video and I needed to hear this message too. I just quit 10 year marketing director position this month to spend more time with my children and welcome our 3rd baby. My husband is also military and will begin 6-7 month deployments next year. I will only be freelancing on the side now and it’s been a huge shift and very challenging, though I know it’s needed. Thank you for this one. I resonate deeply with this message. ❤
Ellen, I miss you!!!!…and your beautiful family too! I hope and pray to see a post soon 🙏🏻🤞🏻🙏🏻
You are very lucky to be in the place you are. You have made 2 videos this year but a lot of women have to put in 40, 50 or 60 hours a week to put food on the table and a roof over the heads of our family but you put out the "Whoa is Me" content. Why is that?
Woe
This video hit me at my core! This last year has been a whirlwind for our family as my oldest had a traumatic experience with kindergarten in public school resulting in me pulling him to homeschool. Having my children home more has made me really struggle with working full time as I have felt I’m juggling too much and as a result, failing in all areas. I know that not everyone can afford the luxury of putting work on hold however it requires lifestyle changes. A homeschool mom friend I made, chose to sell her dream home and downsize to align her priorities with her heart. I have been feeling that this might be my future as well.
I saw this coming.
Just checking in. Hope you and your family are well. I miss you guys.
Am i the only one who has started to notice she's showing less of her kids' faces. First it started with showing less of the older kids now i hardly see them all
Ellen, I feel this 1000%. I’ve been experiencing a “burnout” type mental breakdown once a week lately and I just keep thinking “it’s too much, it’s too much”. So I’ve been thinking heavily on what I want to/can let go of so my life is simpler and so I can savour my life as a mom to my toddler - which is the most important job I’ll ever have. As a fellow woman and mom my heart encourages you to do what you need to do ❤️
Why push expensive, non-essential products in EVERY video? Why do you encourage consumption/overconsumption of expensive products to make people feel like they *need * to buy things they honestly don't need?
She can post what she wants. What is expensive to you may not be to others. You know you can skip the ad right? Sponsors and affiliates are how RUclipsrs make money. If you don’t like it, then kindly don’t watch.
Totally agree with your criticism and yet also understand that that’s probably a big source of income for her and that’s ok…bills need to be paid also if you work as an influencer
Because they sponsor her
No one is forcing you to consume if you do not want to. Some people can afford and want to treat themselves to a luxurious life and that's okay. Buying cheap products is still consumption and most times more harmful to the environment.
Don’t spread hate. You can keep your comment to yourself. She can do what she wants. Just like you do things sometimes that people don’t agree with. You are not perfect.
Miss your videos, Ellen!
What work is she talking about? She puts out less than 12 videos a year!
She is doing podcasts , yt videos (you need to do preparation for that) maybe other projects.
She has 5 kids and a husband and they do homeschooling and have house and garden work to do.
You are missing lots. She does other channels, community input outside the internet, advertising and other sales, books. The list is endless. If you can't see how exhausting that is then there's something off with your math brain.
Choose whatever feels right to you tbh, choose u and your family even if it means earning less. You can always go back to one lifestyle to another overtime if needed, everything is possible
I still think more family content creators stopped showing their kids faces on socials. My guess is that they want to avoid oversharing the images of the kids, which is understandable considering the millions of followers they have. For me though it's such a joy to watch young families in their every day life and see them grow up.
Where are you since this video 🙁 hope everything's OK ❤
Thank you for this Ellen! I’m in that phase of feeling stuck with 3 kids, 3 and under and this is what I needed to hear. Your videos are like a breath of fresh air..
Postpartum.Check your vitamin D and B12 and iron Levels to make sure it's normal u feeling that way about having 3 kids .
Good advice@@evaeagle7887
I'd just stay off social media & focus on the kids instead, they grow up so fast
I applaud you for not showing your childrens faces. I don't know if that's a new thing for you, I am quite backed up on your videos sadly. Every child deserves privacy and to be kept safe, especially from the internet. Good job Mama.
You have had such a big impact on me Ellen, from parenting, to food, to self love, thank you ❤
I’ve being around for a while watching all of your videos. They inspired me so much and changed my way of eating and living in general. I think it’s the same for almost 800k of your subscribers. And you could influence in a positive way even more people and make this world a happier place. Please don’t stop posting videos! I truly understand your dilemma here. But, May be there is a way to drop on something else, like podcasts (don’t understand me wrong, they’re great too)?
I haven't' seen one of your videos in awhile. I had to turn off around minute 7 (thought it was a short video). But I must say, I notice in this one, the children's faces are never shown.
I've been following you guys since the start of the channel and often feel envious of your life. Thank you for your message. No one's life is perfect or stress free.
Ellen. Please get yourself an editor! You don't have to do it all yourself!
If you take a break from your your videos what will that mean for those of us who are in your private membership club?
If it were my choice I'd hire someone. My kids are grown. I regret not homeschooling them. Hire a chef cleaning person & teacher assistant
@ellenfisher
what can I do, to prevent hair loss after pregnancy? It looks like you don't have any problems with it.
You are my motivation. I love your videos. Please never stop making them if it’s anyhow possible. I love to watch you already over many years. Lots of love from Germany ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Where do you find wheat jumbo shells? I’ve been looking and can’t find any!
Two quotes people told me when my kids were little, that really stuck with me.
When your kids are grown, they are not going to remember if your house was clean; they will remember the time, love, and experiences you gave them.
Without kids, my wallet would be full, but my heart would be empty.
I have four kids, ( Two are twin) and it was wonderful, but so overwhelming too... Maybe you should consider not having more... All the best.
If you inspired me for years and years. I’ve lived a more wholesome life and have loved motherhood because of your videos. So thank you for that. If you do go form RUclips know that you made such a positive difference! Do what is right for you and your family ❤
Maybe Andrew needs to get a job
Lol!
He does have a job
Try sauteeing the turmeric with your onions. It will taste ten times better when sautéed and the uncooked taste is cooked out. Don’t forget to add a little black pepper to make it bioavailable.
Thats really nice but some of us unfortunately arent in a position where we can just cut back on work to be with our kids more - we’re barely making ends meet as it is.
I understand the sentiment of the message in this video however, I think we need to be careful when telling the stories of our lives in terms of feeling the need to sacrifice. The word sacrifice (to me) is disempowering. It's completely OK to change focus as priorities in our lives change and it doesn't have to feel like a sacrifice.... it can simply feel like the right thing to do. I think we were meant to do it all in the way we want to do it. Do all we want to do at any given time, following our intuition from moment to moment and just live our best lives. If we feel like we are sacrificing something, it's usually because we feel like we might let others down. But we aren't here to live our lives for how other people see fit, so if we feel a desire to shift our focus, we should allow that and it serves to empower others to do the same. Not out of sacrifice, but out of honoring what's right for us. It's just living authentically and unapologetically. Love your videos- not here to disagree or argue, just sharing an empowering point of view. ❤💖
Maybe you can streamline more your videos? All of them are so highly edited: blip, blip, blip all the way through. Maybe plan what you are going to film, write bullet points of your conversation and then your editing would be so much simpler & less time consuming. Or embrace your role as mother of 5 & let Andrew be the chief breadwinner--no wonder you feel stressed & a weight on you! I was just waiting when you'd arrive at this breaking point.....
Love this. Recently I’ve dropped more off my plate to focus on my family and invest there more. I thought maybe I’m just being lazy trying to not handle as much but as I’ve noticed in the different folks around who chase careers or fill their time so much, especially the moms, it seems something always gets neglected and I can tell pretty quickly it’s the kids. It reminds me I’m not going to regret keeping my focus on my family now. That’s where I want my success to be.
This!!!!100%
I’ve watched your videos for years and I love them! Especially now because our family of 6 just moved to Florida from Minnesota! Your videos are fun and give me inspiration so thank you ☺️☀️🌴
And dude questioning if you bought a hair brush is a problem. This woman makes money she can buy 10 hairbrushes if she wants . Ugh I hope I’m reading this wrong but that was alarming
Literally!!! It was horrible to hear his disdain for her. He wanted all these kids now I’m sure he’s making her cut back so she can get ready for another kid.
😮
How nice it would be to not work.
Why are you hiding their faces now? Did I miss something? I really love your videos. You truly inspire me!
Yeah we only see the kids from behind. I think it may be to keep their privacy. Her sister Hannah never showed he kids' faces early on, on her channel.
The most important thing is to build a relationship with God, with yourself, and your family. That takes time and effort and a lot of ups and downs that only faith can make you go through. Life is effimerous. Enjoy it the best you can!
Unfortunately for many, they don’t have the option to cut back or work less as money is so tight. And many have to leave their children every day to go to work even though they don’t want to. I’m glad for you, that you are able to reduce your workload and create more balance in your life , I get it. I just wish that choice was available to all ❤
I was having a convo in my mind about this concept this week, bc I have four kids btwn 1-18yo.
I have been their main caregiver for all these years working very part-time.
I often hear this described as a “privilege”
I think it’s more of a sacrifice.
I think most families CAN cut back, however- that likely means changing lifestyle, maybe location, etc
It’s possible for most if they are willing to sacrifice, totally possible and totally worth it!💛
@@cmconcon100 percent agree. 🙌
5 months and nothing.. Ellen we miss you girl..When I said she didn't care about this channel anymore... She said it wasn't true... But I think I got it right
Perhaps you forgot to wash your feet but they were in need of a good scrub. Don't forget yourself in this seasonal journal.😊
In my opinion, “dirty” feet are a sign of a life well lived and spending time outdoors. The dirtier my feet are, the better my time has been spent that day 😊
She’s outside all the time every day. That’s why they are dirty. It’s normal when you go outside constantly
Where is that baby carrier from?
Wait why doesn’t the husband work?
He does
Ellen! I have been following you since the Mango Island Mamma days when Elvis was teeny tiny and always love your videos, recipes and messages through out the years. I’m excited for this new season for you and your beautiful family!❤
I hope you are considering keeping your podcast going. I love the debate topics. It helps me see the other side and find middle ground which is so crucial to society nowadays I feel like.
Love you Ellen! You are always so inspiring! I loved watching you dance in the rain with your sweet little one. So precious and beautiful! Thank you for sharing. I know whatever you do, you will do with grace. You’re right, these moments with our families are so sacred, you do such a wonderful job of loving your family well! I always look forward to your videos! I’m praying for you to have clarity and peace in this next season of life! Love you girl!
I’m sorry but did anyone else find it weird how he questioned her about buying a new hairbrush??? It was strange and off putting. It’s like she has to explain her purchases to him. Which I find interesting considering that she is the one making the money.
🙄🤦🏻♀️ Duh! It doesn’t matter who makes the money, and he can question anything. He’s her husband! And there was nothing weird about how he asked her that question. Gosh!
@@CarlaPizao 😂
It was super rude and downright disrespectful imo. He isn’t even the breadwinner to be concerned about the expenses. I feel he has a lot to do with her cutting back on her channel
The fact she posted it too.... it's giving red flags and a cry for help saying "this is one reason why I need to prioritize family over posting, to avoid stressful nitpicky martial conflicts like this".
Thank you for your wisdom & inspiration, Ellen ✨
Dear Ellen, I love your Videos. Do you habe the recipe for the delicious bread or a Video of it? Kind regards from Germany
Hey Ellen, random question but what non toxic teething toys do you give your babies? Struggling to find one I’m comfortable giving my 6 month old
Love you Ellen, thank you for everything and enjoy your life as much as you can❤❤❤sending love
Are you ok?!
Adding another comment...you and Andrew have carved out great life that requires two adults at home. Is there anyway you two could carve out two days a week where the kids are not there...9am to 4pm? You have designed this beautiful life around them. But it has to be designed around the good of the All. Everyone has to get their best. Having some mental breaks to re charge is healthy. Some places have wonderful Christian schools as well. If you would consider it? You can't do it all...❤
Such a beautiful and well expressed message Ellen... :) The music you selected made me cry every time❤ You are an inspiring human being, especially amongst this dense sea of "highlight" media :) I don't have children yet, but I dream of this day to come very soon. I am taking note of all the books you showed, they all look wonderful. I still remember watching you when your channel was "Mango Island Mama"!
I know this will be a radically unpopular thing to say here, but consider putting your kids in school. The pressure for you to be "teacher" (which I'm assuming is not your profession, but I might be mistaken) as well as wife, mother, vlogger, gardener, cook, housecleaner, entertainer, organizer, perfectionist is not realistic. It's just not natural to spend all day, every day with your kids. I know everyone will be quick to defend the homeschooling culture, but just sit with these words for a bit.
I understand your point of view! But as a prior teacher of 5 years, she’s doing the absolute best thing she can be. Our education system is quite frankly… a joke 🤦🏻♀️ These kids will grow up with a far more well rounded and fulfilled education and life.
Not natural? Yikes, what could possibly be more natural? Throwing your kids to someone else would be an absolute last resort, not the 1st. Work will always be there. These moments with your kids you will never ever get back. Homeschooling has made our lives so much happier. I can't imagine seeing anything else as a greater priority now.
@@alittlemo9361 That is correct. It's not natural to spend 24/7 with your kids. And by perpetuating the idea that women should, just bolsters the weight on our shoulders. Women are complete beings who need to be fulfilled in many ways....not just our role as mother.
@@JRspeakingI’m sorry. It seems you never experienced the natural way of being raised, taught, played with, comforted, fed, clothed, bathed, EVERYTHING done with you and for you by the women who carried you for nine months and birthed you into this world… being with your children 24/7 is the most natural way of life.
The school system is more modern than we’d like to believe. And more corrupt than we’d like to believe.
@@ceciliatucker8889I had an amazing time at school, with great teachers and a great friend group. I do think it’s healthy to have some sort of autonomy from your parents, and also to have a separation, for them to simply be parents and not your teacher as well
How do I balance my time. I’m by myself raising 2 boys and working full time. Then come home and do housework and taking care of the kids. What are some ways I can take time for myself
What about their dad? Even if you and he aren't together, isn't he in their lives? And contribute to their upkeep? Do you have girlfriends who are also mothers? Trading childcare one day a week is a great way to leave your children with someone you trust and have self-care.
LOVE your videos !!!! They relax me and calm me down from the stress of live work and the world.
P.S .. Can you tell me the name of the song the you use when you are showing the books ??
A piece of advice for moms of young children, enjoy where you are at. So often we cant wait until our babies can walk and talk and before you know it they are teenagers and not the little cuddlers they were when they were small. Eighteen years goesby quick and you can never get those days back when they were little so treasure each day as a gift so when they do become adults you wont look back widhing they were little again! Also once they grow up, go to college, work or get married you will have a ehole lot of time on your hands to pursue all those hibbies, travel, learn a new language, change careers, etc.... Please also put your phones down because what you do today are tomorrow's memories! Peace & blessings
Sorry for the typos! My phone will not let me go back and edit my comment, it just glitches....
Thank you talking reality. As a mom of three kids life is just busy and I have to let go of perfection and doing it all. Some days I get nothing done because I choose to just have fun with my kids.
Ellen I have been watching your videos for years and you have inspired many to want to live more simply and what it means to eat more healthier! Thank you for sharing your life with us!
You are right to want to not work at a job. A mother of 5 has lots of work to do. You two have picked the best things in life, homeschooling, good food, enjoying life, growing food etc. There is a reason people are in tiny houses, fixing up busses, they don't buy the work till retirement then enjoy life script. My Father in law was a principal as his career. A new grandpa, just beginning to enjoy life. At 50...heart attack.. gone. We do need finances, but this is your life here now with 5 kids. Be there with them...go camping...swim. You will call these the best years of your life. Being a Nana is wonderful, I love it. But there was a little moment my kids were just with me. And we were this family around the table.
Can’t you delegate more of your channel management example editing, management of partnership etc
It’s your choice if you want to stop RUclips but I think it’s a shame for all your subscribers.
I understand you are busy but even if you put out a video one time a month it would be appreciated.You have been an inspiration to many people and I have loved seeing your family following a vegan lifestyle ❤
She's leaving because she doesn't get enough views to make money anymore. Being against other women's bodily autonomy is not so popular these days. So she needs to move to a platform where other handmaids can pay her hard cash.
