We do not have children yet, but it feels so great so see some structure, yay for order and lightness. You are a shining light and I feel comforted by your videos.
We have 2 sons that are now married. We get together at our house every Monday night for dinner and that’s my favorite night of the week! We have wonderful daughter in laws, one grandson, and another one on the way!❤
I agree on eating together as a family I grew up that way as well . But more importantly is having a peaceful loving atmosphere.❤ You are a wise Mom !
Thank you ❤
Susanna Wesley would cover her head with her apron and pray when overwhelmed. Her life is so inspirational!
My only child is 24 now & learning life on her own... I teared up as you shared these because giving her a firm foundation on the Word & a relationship w/God was the MOST important to me as well. Without going into my WHOLE LIFE STORY, our family was shattered when she was 9, (divorce is something I NEVER expected), but even thru all that the Lord is always faithful. As a young woman now, she has thanked me many times for doing many of the things you shared (bringing her up in the Lord, worship, bible, limiting screentime, allowing her to always help me, eating together, on & on. Your 15 things were GREAT & several of them PRICELESS. You are molding who they are & it's your responsibility to do all the wonderful things you are doing. ❤ Thank you for sharing your life w/us. God bless you 🥰
This is similar to my story. My daughter is now 19 and she thanks me every day for raising her with God’s word and a firm foundation in Jesus Christ as the center of our home and family.
One thing we do need n our home is; we don’t allow our children to sleep over anywhere or even spend the day without us at another’s house. Friend family etc. We still always welcome guest into our home.
Same here
👍👍smart lady!
So your kids can’t do what you welcome others to do?
You are such an encouragement! I felt as a mom the most important thing was making sure my children were standing in heaven with me one day. I’m so thankful that they are all serving God and now training their children up in the Lord! Not that we didn’t have struggles with them as teens🥴🥴 But they all knew they had to accept the Lord for themselves. And they have. God is so good! 🥰🥰
Avoiding the exposure of family shortcomings are a game changer. It reminds me of the scripture that says, Every wise woman builds her house but a foolish woman tears it down. ❤
So true!
Absolutely. I was teaching public school after my youngest went to first grade (my kids are your generation) and I watched the deterioration of family, the devaluing of respect for others, the increase in violence, and the deterioration of attention span and work ethic that came with the development of the computer age, starting for children with video games and the development of computers. When I compare my first (grade three) classes to my last there is a marked difference in those aspects for children~and parents. I think my parents would say that TV was the beginning of that change in our culture. I am not anti technology at all, I taught students how to use it, and obviously have those devices in my home, but I can see the obvious difference in our society that the free use of those devices has brought with it~TV, phones, computers,
I ABSOLUTELY 100% agree on traditions!! My adult children still look forward to our family traditions every year!!!
Oh I love that 🥰
That’s definitely not the only one I agree on! I always pause the video and comment then start it again only to realize “oh, yes that too!”😂😂
Speaking ill on your family is dishonoring. That’s all there is to it. It can be hard when you feel like you’re crying out for help, but planning ahead as to who are our safe people to speak to helps avoid that. Thank you for this! I agree completely, even though I fail miserably at times.
Before I had my children I promised that I will always tell them the truth. Not easy but important to me.
When children still lived at home we swam alot (we live in the land of thousands of lakes🇫🇮), children made our sofa for boat, so playing was no 1 activity in our house.😂
And as you told to say I am sorry, it is so important.❤
This was so inspiring and encouraging for young families. We were blessed with 4 children who are now adults. I always say that we were so blessed that technology wasn't whet it is today. Our children got phones in high school, we had meals together, went to church every Sunday, they had chores and responsibilities, God has always been and always will be paramount in our lives. I agree with all of the things you discussed. I notice less young families at church each week. Kids are constantly on phones or some sort of electronic. It's sad, in many ways we need to go back in time a little. Simpler times, it's so important, that's my opinion. Rules, consequences, respect... let's go back. 🙏
We have 4 children…They’re all grown now but when they were younger we always had and still have soft worship music playing in our home, we always went to church together as a family whenever the doors were open, we would teach them to be a man or woman of your word, after school they’d get to play outside until dinner time, every Friday was pizza night and a trip to Block Buster for a movie, everyone even now spends the night before Christmas, we take a trip through the neighborhood to see the lights, decorate cookies, and celebrate Christmas morning together, everyone puts a little something in each others stockings, and so much more. 🥰
This has been wonderful and so good for the entire family and for life in general!!! ❤❤❤
Thank you, Cindy ❤
@@thisgoldenhour you’re so welcome. You’re an inspiration to all and I look forward to your videos every Monday!!! Love you and your precious family! ❤️❤️❤️
Hello! What you said about taking the day to day things back to the Word of God is so true, humbling, and convicting. May we all do that. May we rear godly, set-apart people who love Jesus. Thank you, Steph!
hey girl- oh this was so good!😁 Thank you Steph for sharing with us❤ You are an inspiration🥰
I would LOVE a more detailed video or even snippet about your specific family traditions. As a mom of two under two we are trying to make our own traditions and I love hearing other families ideas!
#5 reminded me of the T.H.I.N.K rule a lot. I always tell myself and kiddos is what we/I am saying to others, True,Helpful,Inspiring,Necessary, or Kind? And if it’s not, should I really be saying it? It’s easy to commiserate or gossip but it takes much more will power to be thoughtful with our words in group settings.
I really appreciate everything you shared. I heard once that our homes should be a haven of peace so that’s my constant mission I didn’t grow up with that so I’m still learning. One thing I think when it comes to our words being powerful God spoke everything we know into existence so if we are made in his imagine our words are more powerful than we realize.❤
Amen 🙏
Susanna Wesley 😊 I've read several biographies about her life. So interesting, especially since she wrote many letters and authors used these for references. She had a large family including John and Charles. Enjoyed your chatty video! ♥️
Yes! Just came to comment that it was Suzanne Wesley. :)
@@priscillahicks444me, too! She was an interesting character..... a mixed bag like us all! 😊
Yesss, that's who it was! Thanks for helping me out ❤
I completely agree with your list. I grew up in a very loud argumentative home, and it caused me to have a very anxious disposition. I’ve spent my entire adult life working to clam my automatic system, and by the grace of God I finally feel a sense of peace. I don’t think parents understand the importance of a calm and peaceful environment.
We pick out our Christmas tree the day before Thanksgiving. But leave it in a bucket of water on the back porch until day after Thanksgiving. While my neighbors head off to the shopping malls, we stay home and decorate for Christmas.
Mindful breathing morning, and night. Which is completely different from my devotional prayers.😉
Some people feel that praying and meditation are the same thing, but not for me.😊
We pray before eating.
I love your list. Thank you for sharing your family values with us.
Steph, your channel is my absolute favorite. Your positive attitude in raising your family is is inspiring.!
Thank you so much ❤
I am a mother of 5 adult/married children now and so much of what you said I 100% agree with. To add to the storage idea of special things my kids each had an under the bed plastic storage container that they put their "favorites" in and then as the school year started each child would go through their container and revisit whether those things were still important to keep or not. This would allow them to clean out the container as well as only keep the truly treasured things.
Love all of these.. we did all of these things when our girls lived at home and am trying to still do that as well have Grandkids. I have found that as a grandma it is easier to speak quieter to my grands and not yell.. maybe my perspective has changed. Looking at the big picture has become easier.
Also putting God first in our lives also helps with everything else on the list.❤
Love your channel, advices, inspiration, good example....I'm grandma and still learning! You are a beautiful role model!
I think you hit the jackpot I agree with everything you’ve said have a Blessed day May God keep his loving arms around you and your family🙏
Thank you, Samantha ❤
I am a huge advocate for apologizing to your children. For all the reasons you listed, but also because, especially when children are young, their brains are like sponges. Not just for learning everyday things, but deeper, emotional things such as their self-worth. So, if a parent apologizes to their child, it improves their self-image and self-confidence. A myth may be that your child won't respect you if you apologize to them. But the opposite is true, and they may even feel more comfortable talking to you when they are struggling with something. I believe that in certain situations, compromising with your children can have the same benefits because it let's your children know that you hear them. If a compromise is not possible (which does happen), I believe it is important to explain to the child why certain things have to be done in a certain way. In other words, don't just say "because I said so."
Such good advice!
Steph, thank you for sharing and holding firm in your beliefs regarding the Bible.
Thank you for being here, Dianne❤
Loveeeee this!!! So encouraging! We do a lot of similar things! I would love to hear more in depth on how you do family devotions and how you make family movie night special. What other traditions have you created that your children look forward to?
I really love all of your list. We are just starting our family and I will say that family traditions is something I want to have with my children but I will say that coming up with or figuring out what to implement is where I get stuck. Would love to hear how you start a tradition or how they come to be for inspiration. I do also agree that allowing messes is the key to unlocking creativity, and when I am home with my daughter while my husband works I am all for playing in the sink or pulling out all the toys and dumping them on the floor, however my husband is less keen on that. When one of your kids gets sick and isn't feeling well and just want to lay on the couch or bed, do they ever ask for tv then? We have had a sickness move through our home and when both my daughter and I were unwell we cuddled on the couch and watched movies which was nice however now she asks for it.
I have 3 adult children, but when they were younger we ate our meals together dinner was a must. I have 1 adult child living @ home still and with our busy adult schedule dinner is still a meal we eat together at least 6 days out of the week. ❤❤love hearing about their day and connecting still as they are adults now. Love your channel ❤❤❤
That's incredible!
This is such a blessing to my. It encourages me to stay unirritated on this way ❤
First baby coming in March! Thank you for your advice ❤
Wow🤩
Staying together as a married couple is very important. My husband feel into temptation and got a co worker pregnant. Nothing I could do or say stopped the break up of my family. It lead to both my children rejecting our Christian teachings. When children loose respect for a parent it is hard to keep those Christian values. Yes, loosing the heart of your child is the worse thing. The world wants to drag them away and it takes both parents and a strong home to keep them. You are so blessed to live such a wonderful life.
I’m so sorry. I will pray that the seeds you planted in your children’s hearts will grow despite what they’ve gone through. Dad’s might not always be faithful BUT God always is. ❤️🙏🏻
My husband did the same thing; but I was given the gift of children. Keep faithful in your prayers for your children to return to Christ.
You instilled Christ into their hearts so that light is still there. Prayers for you to remain strong in your faithful walk.🕊️
To say thank you. Even the smallest tasks. 😊😊
Hi Steph. I went and checked out your Amazo 0:04 n storefront. I was looking at your list of books.
I notice NR Johnson Saturation Bible Study. Have you guys been to Ellerslie?
I was so excited to see that on your list. Our family just went there this summer from NC to Colorado. It was life changing. We sat under the teaching of Nathan Johnson and Eric Ludy. So incredible!
I love your channel and I was just so shocked to see this book on your list.
I recommend Ellerslie discipleship training to any family looking for a good shaking and awakening.
Extremely conservative, extreme and radical in all the right ways! Completely Christ centered. So refreshing.
I have 10 kids by the way. So, when I say good for the family, I really mean it.
Thankyou so much Steph!
Ahh Steph!! I love this so much and I am so inspired by you. Thank you for being so authentic and sharing what yo ur day to day life looks like. You are so fun to watch and I love all your cooking and baking. You radiate so much positivity and are such a ray of sunshine. Ilysm and I hope you’re having an amazing day 💕
Thank you, Isabella ❤
Hi☺i loved the way you handle yourself, your time and most specially your family. I'm also a mother of 6. I've got 5 girls and a boy, turns to be our guardian angel now. i really love your video content. This is from the Philippines and continuing viewing your video.😍
We all say we love you to each other many times a day ...
Love that!
We eat together as a family as well. Especially for dinner. It’s very important to us and was how I was raised as well.
These are so good, Steph!! ❤ 🏡 I agree so much ... this was all right up our alley, Steph! ❤🙏🏼
The one that got me was allowing messes. Thanks for saying that point!!❤
Aww thank you for your kindness ❤
Wonderful list!! 🤍 We do almost all of the same things, as our family is in a similar season as yours (our six children are ages two to thirteen). We even use the same budgeting program! 😆 Compliments on your lovely background - the flowers, candle, and beautiful art.
Totally agree 💯
I absolutely l9ve these videos.
Great life lessons for families to do. Thank you for sharing ❤
Thank you for being here ❤
Agreed! Regarding the filming I did notice a little glitching. Enjoy your week! STTB🧡🧡🧡
Happy to see u again. U bring a smile on my face and Calmness in my mind.
I usually watch ur videos after study... mind freshner
💖
Thank you ❤
When my 3
Were young they new mommy had her own time out! And it saved me from going insane. Highly recommend time out for parents.❤❤
Love that ❤
Great list all important things.
Loved the video
We as a family practice many of the things you shared
Would you mind sharing where you purchased the pictures behind you. I love them.
Just love your videos all of them!!!!
Thank you, Glenda ❤️
Stephanie, all 15 are great !! ❤
Thank you, Susan ❤
I am same with buying candy and keeping them at home. Used to be huge struggle while kids were small and they go and spend the weekend with grandma and all they talk how grandma gave them candy😂. It all good but in balance. Now as they are all grown ups we all just keep some good dark chocolate in our pantry and they to make and bake all of our treats ❤
Love that ❤️
May I ask where you got the artwork behind you? We are doing some makeovers and I love those so much!
She got them on Amazon. Aren’t they gorgeous?!
Can you do a video about your pantry/fridge?
What microphone do you use, i.e. the one you are wearing in this video. OUR FAMILY loves when you have a new video. We pray for your family's health and safety, daily
You are Simply Lovely. 🌹💖💕
Thank you, Kim ❤ you are so kind!
Thank you ❤
Thank you for being here ❤️
Susanna Wesley was the mother that put her apron over her head to pray.
You also make the kids great baked goods which to me is better than candy especially with your sourdough
Thank you so much! We sure love sourdough around here 🥰
@@thisgoldenhour oh I know I’m so stuck I prepared it last night and it did not rise….. I don’t want to throw it away my friend , what do I make with it darling.
cousin get together in every season
Mrs Spurgeon was the woman who put her apron over her head 😂 she would be praying as well
I’d love to hear what your morning family devotional time looks like!
Where are the photos from behind you? They are beautiful.
Another downside to not eating together at a table every night is that kids don't learn how to pace themselves in social dinner situations. Holiday dinners, etc. They slam that food down in front of the TV in three mins and immediately want to go do something else. I have no idea what dating will look like for them. But holiday dinners have been... Interesting.
Some really great advice! The sound quality was a bit tinny/echoey and I found it hard to watch the whole video because I have sensitive ears. 💗
I'm so sorry! Will keep working on the audio ❤️
Awesome
❤
Mic is fine it was perfect
John Wesley's mother threw her apron over her head for a minute to get some instant peace.
as a gramma ,i have candy hidden and share it with grandkids
What do you workout to? I have trouble finding videos where the women are not wearing a bra.. I have older children so semi modest (like, a tank top and not a bra) would be great!
I love Trainwell! They dress in leggings and tshirts 😊
Thank you!!!
@momoflittleladies thank you for incorporating modesty.. it's so hard when the world wants things to hang out. We are trying to teach our kids to keep themselves covered

my au t always lowered her voice when discipling and the kid was quiet much sooner when having a temper tantrum
My mom yelled all my life
Mine did a lot too, I’m so sorry you had it. I have a good relationship with her now but it was hard.. and it’s something I work not to repeat (my moms mom yelled so much!!).
