#acrehomestead #gardentour #gardendesign
Becky, you don't know the difference you have made in my life this year. It's been an objectively terrible year; I lost my partner in October among other difficulties. At night, I put on your videos and they give me such peace and comfort. They have been my escape from grief and pain. Id love to have a homestead like you someday and I learn so much from you. Thank you for being you.
Hugs!
🙏It's hard I lost mine 10 yers ago , they take with them all your dreams you made together!
Prayers are coming your way. My husband of 42 years has been in the hospital for 3 1/2 weeks now. I can't imagine being without him and have been with him 12 hours each day (damn visiting hours). BIG hugs to you.
@literacystudio4814 I haven't lost mine yet. I understand what you say as I look at my husband lay in his hospital bed each day. We have to make new dreams. Hard to see that far ahead. I'm praying it's possible. XOXO
@ 🙏🙏💞
I’m so glad you shared with us about not being in the mood to do certain things! We all have those days!!
I love that Orbit and Tibro are laying right outside the laundry room while you’re in there! What good guardians. Dakota was too cute up in the dishwasher! 😂
Seeing Dakota get in the dishwasher was too cute.!
😂 I had to laugh out loud.!
I’m so thrilled that you are so pleased with the stock pot I sent you! I get tickled every time you get it out.❤
Where do you buy good stock pots that don't get rusty?
@ Amazon has them.
I would try a good kitchen supply store. One with quality products. Much better to look at it rather than going through Amazon!
@davidniecoley2722 TJMaxx and Marshall's have some really good pots all sizes alot of stainless steel ones
@@davidniecoley2722. I usually start with America’s Test Kitchen and see if they’ve done a test/review of whatever I’m looking for.
I so get you. I love being Alone in the kitchen - cooking away - putting food in the freezer. Enjoying nature and feeling God's presence. So satifying and grounding.
Becky…in a world so full of chaos I’m so glad to have you as a positive constant in my life! 🙏🏼❤️
💯
Absolutely agree!
There is a kids book called “if you give a mouse a cookie”. There are several in that same series. They are so cute. I saw a person post a redo of one of those books but for a mom! I so identify with it and think you would too!!🥰. Every time you say you start something and it reminds you of something else, I think of this little poem. So here it is…
If You Give a Mom a Muffin
By Beth Brubaker
If you give a mom a muffin,
she’ll want a cup of coffee to go with it.
She’ll pour herself some.
Her three year-old will come and spill the coffee.
Mom will wipe it up.
Wiping the floor, she will find dirty socks.
She’ll remember she has to do laundry.
When she puts the laundry into the washer,
she’ll trip over shoes and bump into the freezer.
Bumping into the freezer will remind her she has to plan supper.
She will get out a pound of hamburger.
She’ll look for her cookbook
(How to Make 101 Things With a Pound of Hamburger.)
The cookbook is sitting under a pile of mail.
She will see the phone bill, which is due tomorrow.
She will look for her checkbook.
The checkbook is in her purse,
which is being dumped out by her two year-old.
Then she’ll smell something funny.
She’ll change the two year-old.
While she is changing the two year-old, the phone will ring.
Her five year-old will answer and hang up.
She’ll remember she was supposed to phone a friend
to come over for coffee.
Thinking of coffee will remind her that she was going to have a cup.
She will pour herself some more.
And chances are,
if she has a cup a coffee,
her kids will have eaten the muffin that went with it.
So cute.
So true!😊😊😊
I think that about Becky often lol. That was my day yesterday
Truer words were never spoken
It’s so sweet seeing your new puppy running around with Orbit and Tibro he really has settled in well ❤
It’s a good day when the chickens are seen enjoying their free range. I love how you can dismiss a chore because you don’t feel like doing it and not feel like you have to be perfect.
Both my boys are moved out. I found myself not cooking like I used to. Cause there are only 2 of us now.
Cooking for me is my therapy. So now I cook large meals for my boys families and they come over and get homemade freezer meals that all they have to do is heat them up. Saves them money and I get my therapy. Win win for every one. I like helping them out and we can afford to do that.
This is so nice. Before she passed, my mom and I used to make freezer meals together, some for her and my Dad, some for my family of 4. I miss cooking with her so much but now cook with my daughter for us and single meals for my Dad’s freezer. I use Mom’s quality cookware/vintage Le Creuset and think of her while making nice meals for my family. 💗💗
I’ve no problem leaving my kitchen untidy at night, I have way more energy in the mornings!! Love all of your videos Becky. 🙏🇮🇪❤️
In Scotland when we do lots of little things around the house, we call it "puttering". I love days like that ❤
Well I come from a long line of Scott's throughout the ages and we use the same expression. LOL ❤
@rosiesgrandmamy parents born and raised in Alabama called it puttering too, so I grew up with the same perspective
That’s what I say when someone asks what I did over the weekend. “Just puttered around.” Lol
@rosiesgrandma
Good expressions obviously travel well !!!
In England we call it “ pottering” ! Same thing! 😀
Wishing everyone a beautiful new week! ❤🦋
Right back at you! 💖
Your videos have made me such a better cook! You are such a treasure! God bless you Becky! ❤
When I saw the title of this video, I just had to watch to see which moments make up your beautiful life. Similar to mine: family, kitchen, laundry, gardening, cleaning. It’s all in the perspective. I hope you enjoy every day of your beautiful life.
I can't tell you why I enjoy watching you do housework. It must be your calming voice. I wish I could do it all over again with the attitude about home and family that you enjoy! (Im 70) My life took different turns than yours. But I so appreciate you, your family, your dogs, chickens and garden! Blessings! BTW: ,I am given the opportunity to adopt a chicken from a woman at church who provides us with eggs! I can't wait to meet my Lily!
Although I'm a lot older I have learned so much from watching your channel. I remember your first video and you have totally excelled. I'm so glad to have been here from the beginning
Becky, I just want to say that I love your videos. You always make me happy whenever I watch them. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your life.
Amen to that! Sometimes when life is hard, just listening to Becky relaxes me. Thank you Becky for all you do.
That’s so sweet thank you for watching!
Big ditto! ❤
And me!
I love getting up before everyone does. It feels so good to have time to myself.
hey sweet one, be nice to yourself. of course you are tired. you are still recovering from being sick. Thanks for just taking us along on this day of moments in your beautiful life.
Love the little guy's sock! Oh, to have little ones around again. They are just a light in the world!
Yes, you are so right. Grand and great grand children are a blessing.
I think that’s why we were so disappointed for along time that we don’t see the little boy. Just the little dog now.
I love how completely relatable you are. That’s a big part of what makes you so fun to watch…
Btw - where did you get your aprons?
Becky you saying, “I don’t feel like doing that.” Is a whole vibe!!
The puppy is just adorable. Looks like he’s fitting in perfectly.
I was so overwhelmed with my garage. I finally 2 months later got it together last night. Took me all day, buttt I did it!🎉🎉
I laughed when Dakota got on the dishwasher. ¨But Mom, I fit perfectly!¨😂❤
And he's the pre-rinse cycle!😂🐾
Becky when you re-do your kitchen I think you should consider to put two dishwashers in your kitchen. Two large capacity dishwashers.
Yes! That would be a game changer.
Either that or one of the dishwashers that they use in cafes/restaurants. They have a three minute cycle!!
A family member has one of those in their house, and it is incredible.
They cost more in the initial outlay, $1000-$2000 more, BUT you save time and money with electricity and running costs etc.
@@pilgrimpeace7763Oooh! 😃
Washing machines take way too long also 🤔
@@taraschmidheini4674I totally agree 👍
And a pot filler.
It is more enjoyable to fold clothes one at a time when coming out of the dryer when they are nice and warm and wrinkle free. Sometimes they go for a spin several times before that happens lol.
Hi Becky and Friends and happy Monday all. Thank you for the gift of another absolutely lovely video - the gentle happiness of your content makes me smile so much everytime 🫶
Thank you so much!
Hi Becky I watch you alot
I an from a tiny island of montserrat the land with a volcano I really enjoy your cooking alot🎉
You are really a work a holick. But you seem to enjoy every thing you do
Loving this, " Im not gonna do it today" yes I know the feeling lol
I really love your "work around the house" type of videos! I also love the cooking videos, its just these videos are kind of relaxing to me! I hope you and your loved ones are doing great Becky!!
Becky, it was so nice to see someone else seems to have forever laundry and dishes. I also cook in bulk because it makes things easier and keeps food costs down. Thank you for the inspiration.
Hi Becky, I’m glad you listened to your body not to push yourself.
I personally take doing tasks from a day to day basis. Prioritizing self care with things that make you happy like spending down time or with your family is precious.
Have an amazing blessed rest of your week
I really enjoy your household videos. And it’s nice to hear you prioritizing, recognizing when you’re really not up to handling something at the time you planned it. And hearing how you balance family with self and with house and garden. It’s all good reminders for me, to give myself grace and stay aware of my limitations. And to be free from the guilt of not completing everything think I should do. Thank you for that. I’ve also enjoyed seeing the chickens. They must be loving life with some warmer weather.
Suzsnid you are an angel 😇 for sending Becky that beautiful pot!
I love Dakota and I can't get over how he follows them outside and comes back in without running away! It makes my heart ache for my Katie. We have Gizmo and at 72 he will be our last dog. I watch your other dogs, but Dakota has my heart!
The Girls are so pretty. Enjoyed seeing them free range. As far as pets go, chicken's and dogs have my heart. Hope you, Josh and your little have a Blessed week together 💞
On a day when my brain had mondayed all it could, so happy to watch this video. We do need to allow ourselves grace to pivot when needed. ❤
My home is very old and very small and I don’t have a dishwasher ☹️. I’m looking forward to moving into a retirement community in the relatively near future where I will be able to have a dishwasher. When I saw yours with the top tray for the cutlery, I immediately decided I needed one like that.
Hi , I enjoy watching your homestead video because you’re transparent and down to earth. Very relatable .
Such a wonderful time with you! All my adult life I have gone from one task to another, sometimes not getting them all done. Maybe it’s because women tend to multitask, especially when there’s a family😉 Blessings to all 🤗🇨🇦
Becky watching you get up early and clean your kitchen and laundry room just shows how much you make me want to watch your videos !
I’m so glad to hear that you have projects on your list that take ages to complete. I don’t feel so guilty now. 😊
The new pup is beyond adorable!
I saw your new pup a few videos ago when you were out in the garden but I must have missed the story when you got him. Was he a gift? What kind of pup is he/she?
@@lynnebrown-hardy1566I believe Josh gave him to her for Christmas, and that he is a Yorkie
Becky, I watch your videos, just before I go to sleep. You are so positive, relaxing, no negativity. I've been cooking, cleaning, crafting, baking, and gardening for a long long time ( my grandparents grew olives, figs, grapes, pomegranates) well, almost anything, we lived in Southern Italy. But I feel I learn so much from you in every single project. You never seize to amaze me. Find myself saying, " She just baked what?" Including your amazing garden skills. I also have a large extended family and we cook massive Dinners like you. And your extended family is a joy. You're mother is in a category of it's own. I also have a Bosh, hate unloading it. A Canadian neighbour just north of you.😊
Another note…😂 I can see a soft chair and a little table to sit and take breather in your laundry room.
Hi Becky, pre-dawn is my favourite time of day also, before my husband gets up 😊 it’s me time to contemplate my day and do some work without interruption. ❤ Dakota is cheeky sitting on the dishwasher door 😅 ❤
I wish i could watch a cleaning/organizing video of your straight through but i can't! You are so motivating that i usually stop the video, tackle whatever job you happen to be working on in my own home, then resume watching. My spices are all organized, my dishes all put away, my towels and sheets neatly folded in the linen closet and yes, my grow room is also a mess!
I love watching you just do life. Very real. Blessings to you and your family.
I can’t go to bed without washing up the dishes no matter how sometimes I wish I could , it makes me feel that I have finished for the day .
I've been watching your channel since you were at your old place. It's amazing watching your channel grow so fast! I'm so happy for you and your family! 💕 Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Hey Becky. I can’t wait to see what we are doing together today. I truly enjoy being apart of the family with you. Hello Acre friends ❤😊.
I'm so glad you are here! Thanks for hanging out with me!
Becky, you were talking about pressure washing your concrete patio…. Do you use the four wheel pressure washer scrubber??? They work amazingly! Cuts the work down to magic.
I love days like that! Just do what you feel up to doing. The rest will still be there when you are up to it!
That certainly was a beautiful Oregon day! What a treat!
Welcome back Becky glad to see you again
Love your videos thank you soooo much for them
I think, for me personally (as I am recovering from a recent surgery), my favorite part of the day is when I see a new video drop from Becky! ❤❤❤
Becky- I decided one year to compost directly in my garden beds over winter. Much to my surprise I had potato plants growing everywhere. Experiment with your potatoes that have started growing- plant a row in the winter when they've sprouted and see how they do. My bet is they will do just fine. The only way I grow potatoes now is by just "composting" my potato peels (tho a bit more like planting now) I would normally toss in the compost bin. We don't go through a lot of potatoes so this works well for us. Plant a few of those old or sprouted potatoes even if it isn't time and see how the experiment goes.
It has been sooo enjoyable following you throughout your day! I'd love to see more videos like this. You are an exceptional cleaner. So fun to watch and I love your beautiful home. I'm totally with you on listening to your body and doing what you feel like doing.
I do the same things as you on some days, “nope, don’t want to do that today”. The sun still comes up the next day!
Just a thought owls are still out and they would look at that little Yorkie and think a little breakfast snack. I would be hesitant to let him out without you.
Dakota is an adorable puppy it looks as if he has adjusted well to your home and family!!~!
Loving all the videos lately Becky! Please know your hard work doesn't go unnoticed, sending lots of love from England as a 21 year old one day hoping to live like this
Omg..the puppy is getting so big....they are all so cute...
Dakota is so cute! Him getting in the dishwasher was so silly.
yup, the work is never done. Instead of microwaving your waffle, try the toaster. It will come out hot and crisp on the edges. Yum
If you love dark and cozy you would loveee having a lamp in your kitchen to use at night and in the dark mornings! I'm a big big fan of it :)
Thank you for sharing about your dishwasher! We are shopping for a new one and have been considering a Bosch. Watching your last video, I wondered what brand you are using because you definitely run it very frequently. I'm so glad to hear that you take time to relax and do nothing. You are one busy lady and you deserve every minute of relaxation that you can get ❤
Dakota is such a cute little puff ball next to Orbit and Tibro!
I love washing, ironing and folding! I could do it all day…there’s something nice about having a clean home.
Don’t ever feel bad about not being productive every minute of the day! You do more in one day than most of us do in a week! Great video! Love the dogs…Dakota in the dishwasher was priceless! Bless you, miss Linda 🙏🏻🥰🙏🏻
We have a Bosch apartment sized dishwasher because we could only fit an 18 inch dishwasher in our tiny kitchen and I love it!! Especially the top silverware rack. We can fit so much in it and it is so quiet. It was a splurge but makes our tiny kitchen so much more functional.
19:43 This is SO relatable. 😂🫣🤷🏻♀️
I love that you share your days with us.
Suggestion... Get a chair for your laundry room, then you can sit to fold and iron. Then you can enjoy your coffee/water and be relaxed doing laundry. That is what I do. 😊
One of those high bar stools, only with a back. I think I saw a high bench chair like that on wheels in a lab. Then you can scoot from drier to ironing board without standing up. But even without the wheels, a high chair would help you save energy to walk dogs and play with your wee one.
Haha i have a king Charles spaniel puppy who would live in the dish washer if she could! The minute she hears the door open, where ever she has been she comes running!
Hello Becky and Acre friends (or fellow cult members according to the internet trolls lol 😂). Wishing you all a great day from The Netherlands!
I had a great day of cleaning and you are my reward! Sit and visit with Beck! 😊🎉❤❤❤❤ also your little puppy is growing
My grandma always said “if I die in my sleep I don’t want the last night I’m alive spent doing dishes” so I live by that motto.
I love that you have such a large laundry room. It makes it so that you can do it all in one place. Your seed room is wonderful as well. Love watching your channel even though we are carnavoir.
Oh my gosh Becky your new dog is so cute 😍
You’re not alone,I pivot all the time. I usually find myself pivoting more when I’m avoiding a project. However, in the big picture of things it really doesn’t matter, it all gets done in the end 😁
You really completed a lot of things today. Give yourself a break and enjoy your family.😊
I love the spoon's shape, too. I cut potatoes into fries, blanched them, and froze them, and I was very pleased with the outcome. I sprayed them with avocado oil, salt, and pepper and roasted them at 425. Yum.
Hi Becky, good job on getting things done, it all looks so nice. I'm waiting on warmer weather to tackle my garage, talk about a mess, I'm glad you can not see it. Hope you have a good day. Blessings
Not sure if you're aware of this but the roaster pans you had before were considered reactive meaning when they come in contact with acidic foods such as tomatoes the lining will break down over time and become a physical contaminant. your cast iron pots and pans are reactive as well so please stress not making acidic foods in those either.
non reactive cookware is best for acidic foods and can be stainless steel or stainless steel lined cookware such as copper with a stainless steel interior.
I am in culinary school at stark state college and i just recently learned that about cookware. its definitely something to take into consideration when cooking. a big thing my professor stresses is (and these are his words exactly) "Just because it's for sale and in production doesn't necessarily mean it should be bought and used in the kitchen"
With everything you already did today I think I'd call the day done for today !!😊
Putting dishes and laundry away is the worst! I am with you on that one!
I still love and use my knock off Stanley water bottle. I even have a special carrier with a shoulder strap so I can take it everywhere with me.
Sometimes when tasks seem overwhelming I give myself a time limit. I will say I am just doing this for 15 minutes and that is all. Sometimes when I’m into it I will end up doing more. If I stick to my time limit I will still feel good about what I accomplished
I’m the same! I’ll give myself 10 mins to work on a task and either it makes me want to finish the job or I’m content with what I accomplished in the 10 minutes.
I love these style videos! It helps me get motivated to do some tasks around my house especially since I’m in the first trimester of pregnancy ❤ Thanks, Becky!
Hi Becky ,your house is so beautiful inside and out. Thank you for sharing ❤
I love the moment when all three dogs come running in the house! dogs are love, they are the best!
Becky, that view from your kitchen and back patio is awesomely beautiful. I can’t imagine being able to see that view everyday. I love watching you do so many different chores, and things around your homestead. Until next time……….
Becky I also have a Bosch dishwasher. I love the cutlery rack also. The biggest thing I love about this dishwasher is that it’s so quiet ,, you can’t even tell it’s running. Yes , I love the Bosch !!!
I have the exact Bosch dishwasher and use the top rack frequently!
Becky you really have inspired me. I retired last year and found myself so bored until I discovered your videos. I just froze some garlic. Thank you😊
I love how your puppy and your older dogs get along so well to cute to watch.
Good morning and God bless from Australia 🇦🇺
Good morning! I hope you have a wonderful day!
Your view is beautiful Becky this morning I was up early too but we live in a wooded area and it was foggy out it was also beautiful luv my coffee time and peace and quiet❤
It's actually funny how my mind shifted when you said that is a bedroom. Its so much easier on my brain to think of the laundry in an office bedroom than it was thinking of an office in the laundry room 😂.
Now I want a full bedroom for a laundry room, but I need it for my office/craft room. 😅
I absolutely love all my stainless steel pots and pans their is nothing better . Becky you give me energy to do my house work when I watch you Sometimes I stop the video and tackle a cleaning project thank you for the vibes. Your girls gave you more eggs probably happy to be in the yard. Have Josh pressure wash the patio for you and you move the furniture around that's a big job for 2 people like they say there is always another day to do stuff.
Becky the times you talk about is some times when my family or me and my husband go camping and we put a pot of coffee on outside and we cozy up in our chairs and watch the sunrises. We r always camping by a body of water like river lake or pond!
Also all three of your dogs are adorable!! The newest one is very curious.
The spices are so pretty lined up in the background. Good for you for deciding to pivot and be kind to yourself. When you do tackle the seed room you will probably not just enjoy it more but also make better decisions when not under stress/pressure to “just get it done.”
