⚘ A Wise Woman, Mother, Wife and our RUclips Friend. THANK YOU, JESSICA.
Yes!! 😍
I agree!
I share this sentiment!
I know some folks aren’t big fans of longer videos, but when I saw this one was almost an hour I was like yee-haw! Let’s go!
Thanks for keeping me company ❤️
Jessica we are all thankful for you and your family, watching is a breath of fresh air in a crazy world ❤
Jessica you are a woman of honor and I am so grateful for this community and all the content you share. Many blessings to you and your precious family!!
You speak so kindly with so much thought I wish I was around someone who spoke so nicely as I think I would pick up a better way of talking. If you have never been around this kind of speaking it makes it much more difficult to naturally speak this way. You are such a good role model. Thank you for all you do!
I so appreciate your comments on “homeopathy and doctors.” It really doesn’t have to be an either-or situation.
Just a note. Bones have them cut them into 2 inch lengths for bone broth. Have them grind your tallow or pork fat. It renders more fat. Jessica you do such a wonderful job and are such an inspiration. I am 72 and have learned alot. Bless you my dear. Just sayen.
As a fellow Ohioan I try and follow your planting times. It will be my fourth year of gardening this spring. I canned for the first time this year, thanks to you and Becky from Acre Homestead. ❤❤❤
I watch both religiously, also😊. They inspired me to start canning at 67😊. I’m from central Ohio. I also watch Rose Red Homestead, as she is my “Bible” for safe canning.
@melindawargowski8176….I watch Rose Red Homestead too! She knows all the rules! I am 60 and live near Columbus…have a Happy Thanksgiving!
Fellow Ohio gal here too! Springfield. I follow her time of planting and preserving too! Such a blessing. This 53 year old girl still learning every time I watch!
I didn't need to watch the long video today but wanted to enjoy two cups of coffee while the rest of the family was gone and I'm SO GLAD I did. I've been following you since recommended by Sarah at Living Traditions Homestead and have learned so much from you all while enjoying a peaceful, undramatic, wholesome lesson. I feel like I have a friend and so happy I watched this video, also.
Jessica, I'm grateful that I discovered your channel. Last week my oldest son (41 on the autism spectrum) was hospitalized with a non-functioning esophagus and esophageal sphincter. I was able to spend the weekend at the hospital with him overnights, and I stuck a turkey (they are low in price right now) in the oven so I would have something to eat during the week. I boned it, and cooked up bone broth - only to hear the words from the surgeon "He has to have a liquid diet and his nutrition needs to improve". The guys haven't lived with me for some time, but I had 4 quarts of bone broth that my son could eat without fear, that would improve his nutrition. He arrived here for a meal yesterday afternoon. He wanted shepherds pie, so I cooked two pounds of ground meat, opened a can of peas, and cooked several pounds of potatoes into mashed potatoes. Once that was cooked, I portioned out some and pureed it for him to eat. He had two huge bowls of it, and I was grateful for my food stores that enabled me to feed him things that would start to allow him healing. Alongside that we also had homemade applesauce. I had a bag of apples that were starting to get bruised from being moved about on the kitchen floor, and I cooked them down, used the immersion blender and he was able to eat applesauce and love it. I have enough apple sauce for our meal today without cooking it again. They want meatloaf and scalloped potatoes today, so I'm going to have to bestir myself and start mixing soon. Of course, the dishes from cooking from scratch are immense, but we will survive. We won't discover the continuing plan of action before the 30th, and by then I'll be an expert at making pureed everything! I did that a lot when my third son was born to make his baby food, so it isn't something new, just not something I thought I would have to do daily when they are in their 40s. I'm hopeful that the improved nutrition from eating the way mom cooks instead of the way things are done in the group home will allow them to think about a possibility of living with mom full time. Maybe that's a pipe dream - at 68 it's a lot to cook multiple full meals for them each week by myself, but I know that they would feel better if they ate a better diet. Thanks again for inspiring me to use what I have stored, to preserve what I can, and to cook from scratch for my darling family.
God bless!
WHAT a courageous, strong Spirit you were born with! As I was reading your comment, I was just shaking my head. Perhaps a medical procedure to stretch the esophagus will enable your son to have more food variety (personal experience with this) and he might find that avoiding certain spices or fish or drier meat helps. Heavens. YOU ARE DOING GREAT! I so empathize and send a loving hug, dear.
Even though I am not a homesteader, I have learned so much from you about mindfully managing resources.
Thank you.
Wonderful video Jessica! I so enjoy watching you. I love how you talk about your children and husband with so much respect. There are so many people on social media that complain about their family members. You show by example what respect in a family unit looks like. You’re a wonderful role model!
Good morning, and happy Lord's Day! Currently listening to you share some valuable info while I cook breakfast for my family before leaving for church. I'm really thankful you mentioned waiting that first year to focus on infrastructure. We moved to our place exactly 1 year ago, and haven't done anything permanent, but we have such a good idea of what to do now, because we have now experienced all the seasons. We plan to put our orchard together in the spring, finish our fencing for cattle, and also put in some wind-blocking green giants for extra privacy. I also now know where to establish my very large garden. Thank you for sharing, and God bless you and your precious family
Pausing at 13:29... oh my gosh!! I did not know that happened to you with the bees!! Sending lots of prayers for peace and calmness and hopefully a new restored relationship with those awesome little creatures🐝 ❤
I agree! Thanks for explaining Jessica. So sorry that happened to you. I appreciate the honest way you talk about dealing with anxiety.
Thank you for talking about people questioning your choices. My family would question us and make me feel horrible. I fought against what I knew was right because of this. I felt like a failure. Once I set boundaries and keep to them our marriage and kids found peace. I still once in a while feel alone. But hearing others have been questioned on what is best for their family help and is like a sigh of relief.
some questions seemed so nosey, intrusive even, and yet you graciously responded. Admire your transparency, authenticity, courage, and for sharing your faith.
Bless you✨
I homestead also. Im Sky, a single mom of one and we homestead on our acre.
Jessica thank you for your time and thoroughness with our questions. I’m glad RUclips is a blessing to you because I sure enjoy watching and listening to you. Don’t apologize for rambling!
It has been such a pleasure watching you and your family over all these years and all the changes. I fell in love with your family immediately back in 2016 when my daughter talked me in to having an IG acct. There was just something special I could see. I remember when you were pregnant with Levi and announced it on IG and I was so excited for you, you'd thought it was my grandbaby you were having. 😊 I'm so proud of you and love seeing you on youtube. I have 15 grands now and we're still counting! They are this ole womans world and our greatest blessings. May God bless you and your family always ❤
Honey garlic ferment for that throat - got me through the hymn sing at church, even though I'd had a scratchy throat that morning.
I just wanted to share that you have encouraged me so much in the season. I know it seems small- but I am in a season where i am homeschooling my 2 young children, and my husband is at work with the car every day. It is difficult and honestly I had pushed myself into depression at one point because I was comparing myself to everyone else. What other homeschool mom cant drive around to all the different clubs, activites and museums all day every day!??? But thank to your channel- you give me so many ideas on how I can be content at home, and to fill the day. We even take full advantage of going on long walks and exploring the neighborhood, walking to publix etc (the Lord blessed us in FINALLY buying a home, and its in a good safe neighborhood!) God has truly answered so many prayers- giving my husband a new, steady job after him being unemployed for 1 year and us having to live off savings, to God allowing us to buy a safe new home within a few months of him starting that job- etc
My children are so happy, truly- but of course the mom guilt in me wonders- are they secretly being traumatized and hiding it?? Sometimes our mind and heart is SO deceitful! Thankfully after my husband gets home we can take the car and we meet other homeschool families then with an evening homeschool group I started-
What positive choices you made! Counting your blessings and starting an evening group. I pray for your peace and that you will develop strong supportive relationships. Seasons like you are currently in often feel so long but thankfully they pass! God bless you, your family and your homeschool group.❤
Thank you for being so genuine.
Thank you so much for all you do! You inspire us so much!!
Amazed at all you get done with your large family. Very inspirational, thank you!
Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much Jessica. Enjoy your week.
We bought 1/2 beef last year. I asked for soup bones. These past 2 weeks I finally got to them but was very surprised by how much meat was left behind so I ended up dividing the meat between quarts, added the bone broth and canned. Then I had 6 packages of short ribs and did the same thing. I ended up with 7 quarts of beef with bone broth and 5 pints of just broth. The most work was getting the meat off the bones but the whole process was pretty labor intensive. I ended up with a large amount of fat as well, so I washed it 3 times with water and salt and added it to my jar of cooking tallow in my refergerator.
Jessica you are amazing 👏., thank you for all of your time spent on your videos. I too agree that a planner is a must have for raising children and keeping track of everything. Now that we are empty nesters, I now just make lists. I continue to menu plan based on my pantry and freezer stock. I rotate through the older food items, and I keep a running shopping list on the refrigerator of things that I am using the last one of, or have only one left of. During the winter months we only shop every 8 weeks or so. We menu plan from our seasonal stores.
Thank You very much Jessica
Such a lovely natural manner to deal with some very personal questions. You are a treasure.
I so enjoy you and your wise words, thank you for taking time to share with us! Happy thanksgiving to you too!
Great show Jessica. Your knowledge is priceless.

Thank you Jessica so glad to be here to support you and your family your content is wonderful such a pleasure to watch 🙏🙏❤️❤️
Your channel is one of the few I always look forward to. I like the way you edit, and the explanation on why made so much sense.
We have a member with food allergies as well, and avoid it pretty much as a whole as well. They are not airborn like your son's, and not life threatening, but we still try as a family to keep everyone healthy.
Good morning Jessica. Happy Thanksgiving!!
Canning diced potatoes today (8 processing now) and needed a Jessica break! You have inspired me to start canning at 67. Can’t imagine doing it while I was still working😮. I’m going to end up with 12 quarts, which should last us well over a year. Just the two of us😊. Since I have a small kitchen, and I didn’t physically want to handle a big canner, I ended up purchasing a second Nesco electric canner. Boy, do I like them!
Love these Q&A’s ❤ So sorry to hear about the bees!
Thank you for explaining how you keep your son with food allergies safe. I am so encouraged by your response.
I look forward to your videos Jessica. I live in Ireland and not on a homestead.. but your videos make me so happy🎉
My goodness! I had not heard the bee story before now. That’s very frightening!
It was lovely, getting to know you through this Q&A video. Thank you for sharing! ♡
God bless you and your family. What makes others happy is not what works for everyone. So happy you.
Good morning Jessica your videos are always informative Thank you, hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving. 😊
Happy Thanksgiving to you! Love love love your content.
Good morning 🙏😊
Thank you for such great information and catch up .
Have a blessed week
I would love an updated planner video!! I am so intrigued by how the teacher planner is working/has evolved! I’m about to start mine!
Great video Jessica!
Loved this. Yes please new planner video or anything else you want to do. I love it all! Val C ❤🙏🏻
Oh, Miss Jessica, you have done it again!! Yes, another wonderful, informative, and fun video. You have wisdom beyond your years and when you spoke of is it God's will or yours, I played that 3x and you were "spot" on as the Brits say. Thank you from my heart for sharing your life and family with all of us.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family and to all your followers ❤
There are approximately 500 cases of botulism a year on the entire planet and most are NOT fatal. You have .000007142857% chance of getting it. There are over 40,000 car fatalities in America a year or about 1% chance. I encourage those wanting to start canning, don't worry over dying from botulism, do safe practices and you will be fine. Loved the video!
This was such a great video, Ms. Jessica.
Thank you so much.
We just love your honest answers and opinions.
“The difference between our hearts desire and God’s Will.”
“Peace or internal conflict.”
Your words meant so much to me.
May God keep blessing you and your beautiful family, more and more each day.
You have such a beautiful soul.
Happy Thanks giving
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours and many blessings!
I wondered what was wrong thank for telling us you were feeling a little crusty hope you feel better now.
Enjoyed your question and answer session you're a very caring person who is amazing
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
Thank you so much for mentioning that the homeschool laws in Ohio have changed. I am also in northwest Ohio and homeschool as well and I didn't realize the laws changed thank you again. It certainly makes it a little easier homeschooling in Ohio.
Wonderful video! I do love your dresses!
I think you are a fantastic home maker,my mother brought me up in much the same way, along the way of my life I got cancer and not once but twice l was able to fight it and survive, but a lot of it was down to a very healthy diet all my life.i really enjoy your videos and always look forward to them.
Thank you and enjoy Thanksgiving.
Happy Thanksgiving to you & your family. Enjoyed your video today.
Good afternoon thank you so so much for your very in depth answer to my question about your bee's. I'm sorry to hear the situation had such an understandably profound affect on you. You spoke from your heart and I could see in your eye's how much this situation has truly been traumatic beyond belief. You have been so amazingly brave to winterise your hive but it truly shows what a caring person you are to do so. You must've been scared out of your mind doing so, even with Adam's help. Follow your heart and if it's telling you that you can't be up close to them then you really should listen to it. Once again, I really appreciate you taking the time to read and answer my question. All the very best. Stephanie.
Thank you 😊
🦃Happy Thanksgiving🦃 from way down south in Louisiana🥰 I enjoyed the video. God bless your family!
God bless you and your family❤ Happy Thanksgiving ❤
I'm so sorry about you being stung so much. I'm sure I'd react the same way! Stephanie Denman was also stung a lot and ended up in the hospital with anaphalactic shock. Now her husband tends to the bees, & she carries around an epipen esp while gardening. Happy Thanksgiving ❤️ many prayers 🙏🏻 Nurse Judi in Scottsdale AZ and Eucharistic Minister ❤❤
Beautiful said … I’m allergic to cinnamon and it’s a rough life….. people out that in everything.
Even walking into a store I react and have 3 pens on my all times …… and people forget/family members at times …… I didn’t have a allergic reaction until I was 6 …..
My kids are not allergic to cinnamon so they know if they have something with cinnamon what they need to do before coming home….
Jessica Wishing you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving. I found your channel this last summer and have enjoyed it a lot. Amy from Mississippi
Great video!
