Hi friends! I'm Jennifer, a fifty-something wife and mother of 7 children ages 10 - 26. We are Catholic. We homeschool. We cook from scratch. We farm cranberries. We drink coffee. We advocate for Down syndrome awareness. We are loud. We are chaotic.
Here I'll share vlogs about all these things, what I'm doing that works and what I've tried but didn't work. I hope to encourage you in your journey through motherhood, homeschooling, learning to cook, and growing in your faith through it all.

Mimi's Minestrone Soup & Crockpot Chicken Country Mom Vlog
#acountrylife #countrykitchen #weekinmylifevlog #momvlog
My autistic son will be 40 - back then they said he wouldn’t function and recommended I institutionalize him-he went from special ed to regular and graduated - teachers had written him off - he blew a kiss to me when he received his diploma - he owns his own house and gave me a beautiful grandson- love always triumphs - especially with Gods strength- was it rough - yes - but he also taught me so much about life expectations
We have a 29 year old daughter with severe non-verbal autism with cognitive impairment. She lives in an assisted living facility and has been in andnout of treatment facilities due to difficult behaviors that were harmful to herself. We have 5 girls total and finally we get that boy in a grandson. He was recently diagnosed with autism and my heart is just broken. I just know the challenges he will have and he is already having. He is now 2 1/2 and doesn't talk yet, has huge melt downs because of frustration. Him and our daughter live with us and I just feel so overwhelmed with what the future holds. Encouragement would be appreciated. 😢❤😢
@@dawnmontoya4444 - I understand- patience and understanding - I remember when mine finally came into kitchen and said cookie - I had repeated it to him hundreds of times - he was non verbal- I also said I love you bubby- his nickname - one day he said I love you bubby to me - the spectrum is different for all- it is hard but love wins - I promise- may God give you strength when you ask why you - why not you - our battles teach us so much - prayers
That is awesome!
Mom of 6 here…when I was pregnant with #5 the doctors told me she had some kind of tumor disease and would probably not live past 6 months. Fast forward to today…she is 32 years old and a veterinarian! God is good! Enjoying your #1 cookbook!
Oh Jennifer, I’m in tears because no matter what God doesn’t make mistakes. Every child is so very precious and should have the chance at life no matter what physical or mental conditions, It’s not the child’s fault.
Thank you and your precious family for sharing your life with us and thank you Joe for helping others to understand how special and loving you are.
Have a blessed weekend everyone!
I just have to tell you how happy it makes me when I see you have posted a video.
I’m not crying, you’re crying. My son with DS is now 20 and he has been such a blessing to me and his 5 older siblings. You never know how many lives you have touched (and in this case, maybe even saved) by just earnestly sharing your family life. Thank you.
So moving how God is using you, Joe and your family to touch lives! Keep up the good work!
Absolutely agree. The Brockmans are an inspiration.🎉🎉🎉
I appreciate that Warren lets you share his cranberry farming, even when he doesn't feel like chatting about it. Such an interesting process. So different from crops I am familiar with like corn, soybeans etc.
So fun that another generation is getting in the kitchen with you.
Please give a warden a great big hug and tell him that this cranberry lover appreciates everything he does. And thank you for being the wife behind him and supporting him always. Thank you for all the videos. I really enjoy them i would Love to meet your family in person.
Love how much Joe loves you.
I get so excited every single time I see that you have posted a video. I am a grandma to 5 bonus grandkids and one biological grandson. I realize that you don’t have the bonus kids but I feel like regardless you help me to love them all. Your pure love for your children, grandchildren and the children in love guides me every day.
Your channel is such a blessing. ❤
You are so kind Katie.
Maria's laughter is infectious. Love you and Warren's interactions with your children. Great video!❤❤❤
Watching Marie giggle while she was practicing her dance with Peter made me laugh.
That’s so freakin cool Warren. And the rush of water and the collapse of the ice in the ditches. Cool. What a labour of love. Go cranberry farmers !!😊
I remember that video last year, and how it made me cry, and touched me in such a way that I have never been touched. I have a cousin whom him and his wife had a son that was born with Down syndrome and they were going to give him up for adoption, and I remember my aunt not allowing him to be given up to complete strangers and her and my uncle took him and adopted him, and he is now 21 years old, and everyone in my family loves him and he is such amazing young man. He communicates through hugs and wanting to hold your hands and loves to go on walks. I love seeing him at Christmas, it just hurts my heart that his mom and dad does not do anything for him or even goes to see him. My aunt is such amazing woman, to take on this responsibility so late in her life, just so her grandson could be with his family. Joe is such amazing young man, love seeing him on your videos, and seeing how you have worked with him and how he reads, and helps around the house and cranberry season and how you were talking about he loves to shovel as his way of thinking. Keep up the great work your are doing with him, and you are touching and changing lives with your story.
Sending you love James. Thank you for sharing your story
I agree with what you said not realizing how your videos can make such an impact but its true. I don't have kids yet but i was SO touched by your video with Joe and the saying you saw on that sign Faith in God is refusal to panic...i actually wrote it down and hung it up with some of my favorite Bible verses on my computer so when I get overwhelmed or anxious I can remember dont panic! I know who is in control! Just wanted you to know your family and videos are a blessing not to just those with kids but to all kinds of people! Thank you for always being real and sharing your heart with us! ❤🤗
Such a beautiful way to end your vlog.❤ Thank you so much for sharing.
I really enjoyed following along with you and your family throughout your busy week. All of you are so industrious and hardworking folks. See you next time.😀💞
Jennifer, you are so positive and encouraging! Thank you for sharing your life with us. I am so touched by the stories you shared at the end. God is so good!
Jennifer, thank you for touching our hearts and minds with your videos by sharing your lives with us. I look forward to and enjoy each of your weekly videos. Maria is really sprouting up! The boys are also maturing. Keep up the good work mom.
Maria and Peter did wonderful on their dance! Maria’s giggle made me laugh 😆
I got teary along with you. I just sent a donation and sending much love to that family. I really enjoy your sweet Joe such a loving young man. Sending hugs to you and your family. So enjoy your content. Barbara from Ohio.
Maria's new sweater looks so nice on her. You have the sweetest family!
Hello Jennifer, another fantastic vlog. Really enjoyed watching Warren 'breaking the ice'. Joe, and Maria and Peter are growing like brackens!
The grace of Almighty God, and cooperation with His grace is so evident in your work. As I see it, your work, and Joe's lovely face,is inspiring others to get to know, love and serve Almighty God, which is phenomenally good. God bless the Brockmans.
Tears of joy watching this video! God is so good, HE is always faithful…..good for you- sharing your faith is always rewarded! Praises for the mother who chose life! Glory to God!
I just like you. You are so genuine. What a lovely family.
You are so kind. Thank you 😊
What a very busy week! I’m impressed with how well you go with the flow in the midst of such a myriad of activities & tasks! I love your realism and transparency when you vlog. Thank you for being a caring & thoughtful wife and mom and grandma! I really enjoy and appreciate your channel. Blessings, Susan
Good morning Susan. I like to treat you all as friends and be the real me. Have a great day 😊
That’s so great that the kids are in a play!
Watching Warren was scary and awesome at the same time.
I love the down syndrome story truly they are God’s Blessings to us , Joe is Awesome.❤😊🙏🏻 Thanks for sharing Jennifer
Ms. Ruby
Jennifer, I love your videos.
My children are grown and I don’t think I’ll ever get over it! Watching you interacting with them, on a farm, cooking your meals from scratch…everything that I once did…brings me joy! I did not homeschool; I worked outside the farm because it was the 80’s and we had no choice and I also had a calling ( I wanted to be a full time Mom, but God had more for me to do 💟) to care for people as a nurse. But my love and my joy was, is and always will be my children, their children…my family!
You and yours always bring me joy!! Thank you!! I have both your cookbooks, and I already know many of the same recipes…midwestern farm people eat many of the same foods and share many of the same values.
Many blessings to you, Warren and your lovely children and all. I’m not quite through with your video as I write this, but I hope to try your freeze and bake rolls! I’ve never made these or any partial baked bread before ( why not??) but they just look beautiful! I hope they taste great!!
♥️ Kim
I feel a sisterhood with this comment.
I was a juvenile and family social worker for 30 years and retired 5 years ago.
I also watch because I miss all the family business that came with everyone at home. (But I love peace and quiet as well, lolol)!
So much packed into another well done vlog!!
@@deeb8733 , there is goodness in “ peace and quite”…I certainly agree❤️🥰
I’ve been using the earth breeze sheets. Really like them. No plastic jug to recycle
Peter is amazing. He is so good at whatever he puts his mind to. From hunting, fishing and cranberry farming to acting, dancing and cooking, he is an impressive young man. In that last segment, I saw Maria in you so clearly. And, Joe is a blessing for sure. ♥
Jennyfer , no one around me has down syndrom , but ever since I found your channel on a desperate , lonely day in april 2020 during covid , I felt a connection . You always felt like a good friend , one you'd be eager to see on a saturday afternoon for coffee. Now years later , I still show up here to catch up with you , and on my bad days , to feel comforted. And now by the end of the vlog , I am crying with you. Joseph s a blessing , like any other child is. You guys are loved
I remember those days in 2020. The uncertainty was scary. I hope you’ve found a new groove and that things are looking up now ♥️
Busy Busy !!! Thanks for sharing with all of us, we appreciate you!! I understand the tears Jennifer, from one mom to another ❤🙏
I look forward to your videos each week. I especially like the day in the life. It feels like visiting with a friend.
Oh , and I really love your channel. Your feeling for your children’s books is exactly the way I feel. Some of them are so ragged and fragile and I love them. I don’t have grands yet but can’t wait until I can read them to them too.
Yes!! You keep all the picture books you want!! They are the best memories and your grandbabies will absolutely love cuddling up in your lap, reading with grandma!! As they grow, who knows, maybe they will want to take some home with them to read to their own children!! And besides, by then, they will be worth a fortune!! ( just tell yourself that, it makes us all feel better!!✨♥️)
Just sent a donation just a small one I wish your friends all the hugs and good wishes of their new little one
Sound of Music!!! I am 54, I had the record when I was little and can sing every word of every song and do it loud and proud , which doesn't work out for the people around me during the lonely goat herd 😂😂
Little Women was my favorite book and movie. Loved the really very old versions.Sound of Music another favorite. Hope the kids enjoyed being in the play.
I’m not religious but I still teared up about the impact your video with Joe has had on families. That is such a wonderful thing. Good job, Jennifer. ❤
I feel your anxiety at pairing down books. I retired from education after 22 years and I spent 20 of those years in the library. Some family members still think I have a small library. 🤷♀️ Book ❤️
Wow! God is using you in amazing ways to save beautiful lives.❤ Thank you for sharing your lives with us.
I love Earth Breeze laundry sheets. We live in a ranch and when clothes are work clothes are extra dirty…2 sheets and done. Fragrance fee and fresh scent are the only current options. I use fresh scent.
Love you and your beautiful family and ALL of your content🥰
Loved this. Made me cry. My Joseph is going to be getting a new pacemaker in the next couple of months. Hard to believe it's been 10 years
I enjoyed y’all, especially Peter and Maria practing there dance routine, they did a wonderful job!!!!!!!
All of your meals looked delicious.😊❤🙏🏻
Ms. Ruby
Thank you for all you do for all of us and for serving others!
What a blessing you and your family have been to others. I was consistently badgered when I pregnant with my youngest three (I was mid thirties in the late 80's and 90's) to have the testing. I will be praying for all.
Have used Earth breeze for quite awhile and love 💕 the product. Only sold through the mail, not in stores. They also give free products to shelters, either for people or pets!✅. Glad you are using the product too.
I'm so glad that you got that email. I know this RUclips job can be so hard, I'm glad you got some good validation for all you do.
Wow, dangerous farming, Warren. Stay safe and glad you talked to us, lolol😂
BTW, didn't see the PayPal link...
Watching this video makes me appreciate the cranberries at my Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners.
Warren is a very hard working man Joe is growing up fast what a heartwarming story you do wonders with Joe I’m sure it is inspiring to hear stories from other moms
I love the Rada knives. The granny parer is my favorite. Their vegetable peeler is great. The tomato knife and prep mini chef knife gets used a lot, too. I have quite a few more and like them all.
I had a handicapped brother and a Down syndrome brother in law. They are both with Jesus now but how sweet those kids can be. Trying at times but sweet. Thank you for sharing. ❤
If you have a 45 minute drive to town, have them each pack a light lunch on their own to eat in the car on the ride there. They can finish snacking on it after play practice on the way home. Sandwiches, chips, pretzels, nuts, cut up fruit is easy for them.
I always loved "The Sound of Music"! It is one of my favorites!
Same here!
Tell Warren I had some "special" words right along with him while trying to remove that board! 😂😂Jeez Louise!! 😮We are a cranberry eating family and I just want you to thank your husband, from us, for all the hard work, the sweat and tears he and the rest of your family(including your knowledge of cranberry farming) puts in while providing us with the fruit. I never knew how hard it was to grow them until I started following you years ago. You guy's hard work doesn't go unnoticed, from the cranberry marshes to the KitchenAid. Much love from Arkansas ❤️❤
So nice of you!! We appreciate you all watching and learning.
@@acountrylife our pleasure!!
You have a heart of gold Jennifer. 💛 ❤😊
Omg I felt it in my soul when you said “ I just want the week to be what I wanted it to be” 😂with 4 littles my days are always filled and I feel nothing gets done lol
It’s totally ok to have those feelings. I find when I name it I can accept that it will be different and move on knowing that normal will not be happening for now.😁
Love the longer video Jennifer!
I work as a bookkeeper and secretary at our small church. I have to make a payroll deposit every month and file the report quarterly. I do pretty well with those tasks. However, once a year when time comes to do W2's for the employees, and then submit the W2's online to the SSA by the 31st, I panic because I have forgotten the process and have to go back and look at the previous year. And this year of course they changed the log in process so more panic. I'm determined to keep better track of the numbers this year so at the end of 2024, I will be in a better place. We shall see. Lol.
You have great kids and I admire you as a mom. But Joe, ❤. He is a funny and sweet boy.
MAN!!! Warren sure knows his stuff!!! Such a hard worker too! You are too, Jennifer! You seem like a great couple. :) Thank you for showing us the farming work! I have such respect for farmers.
Jennifer, you can always give some of the books to your grandbabies, the library, or Good Will.
Maria is turning into such a lovely young lady. Been watching her grow up on your channel. 🥹 my oldest daughter is 6 and it’s bittersweet to watch. ❤️
Happy Birthday,Kiddos!
God bless you dear people and your precious family
Hi Jennifer. Loved every second of this video. Visiting with your family going through all your "family stuff" always gives me a warm and cozy feeling (even at single digit temperatures). Hugs.
I am with you Jennifer on the Amy Lu sausage from Costco. I made myself three this morning and it was all I could do to eat them. Fortunately my daughter had bought them so I don’t have to feel guilty not eating them😊.
When you grabbed the powdered sugar instead of the flour it made me laugh remembering an incident with my brother. He was on a fishing trip with his friends and was making them biscuits and gravy. He couldn’t figure out why it wasn’t thickening as usual. He had mistakenly used powdered sugar😂.
That was such an awesome "Cranberry Farming" Lesson. We are all blessed in so many ways through your precious family! God's blessings to all of you,,,,🥰🥰🥰
great thrift store haul and of course your whole video is great 😊
Praise be to God, another precious soul saved❤ Thank you for sharing!
We’re in our 21st year of homeschooling with 5 to go after this year. This is how we’ve done much of our science and history over the years, especially science. It’s my favorite subject! Getting rid of books is the hardest thing for me!!!
Hi Jenn, loved your video, you are such an awesome mom!!!
Jennifer, I always have great appreciation for your time management skills!! That is probably my biggest struggle! You do a great job! Sending love to your family this Valentine's Day. (It lands on Ash Wednesday this year!)
I am in college for vet tech and I have used Amoeba Sisters and Kahn Academ, along with Crash Course for so much of my studying. I would not have survived all my classes so far without youtube
Maria looks so grown up suddenly!
My husband bought me a vacuum sealer for Christmas and I love it. He purchased the Seal A Meal brand from Wal-Mart and it works so well.
Wow so many thoughts and questions on my mind…not sure how deep that water is that’s flowing but I guess that the ice is dangerous and wonder if it was a worry to you when your kids were young but old enough to wander around the property?
Also was the Sound of Music program part of homeschool coop? Many videos ago you posted the kids piano recitals …so very beautiful…thanks for all of your sharing Jennifer.
I’ve seen you talk about the ice before but it’s not until right this minute that I realized you’re not encasing the vines in ice. I wondered how they weren’t damaged in solid ice like that but they’re under it!
oh happy day! my 2 cookbooks came today. Im so excited. Thank you so much.
I use those earth breeze sheets but I just put them in with the clothes. They are very handy when you rent vacation homes
Love this longer video!!
❤I've just come back from Galway 🇮🇪 after burying my beloved brother who passed away suddenly at age 58. My heart is in pieces Jennifer. I asked the Lord and my brother Alan to give me a sign on how I could do something in his memory. Hearing the two stories of little babies with Down Syndrome was as if God and my brother spoke directly to me. Yes give Joe a extra special hug for me will you 🤗 it 🙏❤️
God Bless You.
Eileen, I hope your heart is healing from the pain of your brother’s death. Praying for you.
You guys are amazing!❤ absolutely love your videos!❤ looove joe!❤❤❤
Warren that looks so dangerous. I will keep you and your helper Joe in some special prayers...God Bless this family.
have you looked into quick books it tracks everything and keeps a running total quick books i love it
Really enjoyed your video & the last part was so heart-wrenching ❤
Bless you and your sweet family. I love these types of videos, its real life..😊
Thank you so much!
really recommend cleaning the liquid dispenser on your washing machine... it can help with keeping your clothes clean & smelling ok
You are absolutely going to love the hair wraps! They’re very light but super absorbent. I love em!
Very cute things you got for Maria and great prices. That hairstyle you have is very becoming.
Wonderful video, Thankyou and blessings. 🥰🇬🇧
Your channel makes a difference in this world. A difference that makes it a better plsce. Go God.
Thanks 🙏
I just love your videos! I get so excited when I see that you posted a video! Your family is so precious. I really liked watching your kids dance! Hello from Northern Minnesota. ❤️🫶🏻😘☀️
Hi Nancy! I hope you enjoy the weekend.
Yeah I need to find those at Walmart when I get home
Love you Jen and family
I am so thankful that the lady had her baby, and all is going well. Go, Jesus! 😊
What a precious report! Go Jesus !!!!!!!!
It's so hard to get rid of the picture books. I feel your pain! I try to save our favorites and pass on the others to library book sales or Little Free Libraries.
Love my towel wraps
Aww! TFS the email.
We do not like the Amylu breakfast sausage from Costco. We trying them once and then did not buy then again. Peter and Maria did a good job with their dance. So grateful that the mother decided to not abort and all the health issues worked out. Praise God! I have always felt that children with Downs are so special and such a blessing!
