I can’t even finish watching this video because I am in tears and if I watch any further I will really start crying. My father was raised Mennonite his parents still practiced. While I was growing up we made everything homemade also milked the cows made cheese, canned everything. Both my parents have passed and most of my siblings. You just reminded me of a more memorable time in my childhood. God Bless🙏
💜🙏💜
God bless you!!!
Oh do watch it all, it has to bring back beautiful cherished memories ❤
I didn’t have a pleasant childhood and I savor watching her make cherished memories in her children ❤❤❤
God bless you
You should be rejoicing for what you were given. We all have memories and past lives. It’s what makes us who we are.
I felt your heart in this. Losing parents and siblings must be so hard. My parents are gone too, my one sibling is alive. I pray our Lord blesses you.❤
I just returned to my cozy home in central VA after spending 8 days serving in a post hurricane Helene disaster relief center in devastated western NC. I brought in nutritious whole foods to cook 3 meals a day for volunteers, residents, security, law enforcement and heavy equipment operators trying to rebuild the community of Bat Cave. I thought of you often as I cooked these meals in limited and rustic conditions in very cold temperatures. Thankfully I grew up in a small rural community and knew from an early age how to love people with food as well as keep them healthy with good food sources. Upon arriving home weary, but honored and happy to have served God's people in a difficult time, I needed a reset, so I decided to watch this video before starting my day. Thank you for these calming images and words. I plan to return for another week in January as their path to recovery will be quite long and winters in the Appalachian mountains are a difficult time for many to volunteer their time to lighten the load. I'm sure I'll channel your spirit of nurturing again in my future trips.
✨️💖✨️ God bless you for your service. ✨️💖✨️
I live just about 7 miles from Bat Cave. Thank you so much for your work there. It is such a devastated area and there is so much work to be done.
💐🙏🇿🇦🇺🇲
How wonderful!
Did you go with an organization ?
Some of those items do have some nutritional value.
We homeschooled also for about 10 years , talk about alone …. My own mother asked me when I was going to put our son into a real school. Validation came when said son actually thanked me for homeschooling when he was around 23 . Praise God for the fellow homeschoolers we went to church with that took us under their wings.
Hello Ruthie Anne! I have been watching your videos since last year. I appreciate every video, they have been a blessing to me; specially when the children are home! Your home is so real, and ''homey'. Through you I feel validated to care for my family the way that I do. Not many in my circle value mom time with children. I could have gotten my post secondary education but would have had to pay someone else to raise my babies. I just love it when your grand-baby comes to visit HE IS SOOOO CUTE! Thank you for sharing a little bit of your life with us! May God bless You!
I LOVE that you credited Hadassah on the piano. You are the most respectful mom to your children.
I had a similar experience when my husband and I decided to homeschool our children 30 years ago. Hardly anyone was doing that and we had family and friends come against us hard, saying we were really going to mess our children up emotionally and make them (weird) socially awkward.
Years later the same people tell us how great our children are and what great adults they are.
PRECIOUS BABY
Same!
RuthAnn when our son was little a friend suggested removing dyes and artifical flavors from his diet. His behavior did a 180 and I have always been so thankful to her for her help. People were not always understanding but even a small glass of red anything would set him back in the begining. Have a Blessed Christmas!
A young mom friend of mine extended her experiment to limiting her boys' screen time and was amazed what a change it made in their behavior. It was like weaning them from an addiction at first sure. But going forward so worth it. They were more focused and happily enjoying play time together.
Yes!!! This!!
Shows how truly important our diet really is. ❤
I have a son, who we learned at a very young age was ADHD. I devoured any literature I could get my hands on and found an article that recommended eliminating food dyes from his diet. I can tell you from experience it is completely true! What a difference if we allowed him to have any.
I believe it.
100% be called a conspiracy theorist. I have done so much research and completely agree with you on food and food sourcing. God bless you and your family. Merry Christmas and yes God is so good❤
You are the most amazing lady I have ever heard. I love your videos and of all the homesteaders I watch, you are my favorite. I can hardly wait between your films. I am old enough to be your grandmother, but you have taught me so much. Thank you and God bless you and your family.
Thank you for sharing. I agree with you.
Your grandson is growing! Nice memories a grandmother cherishes. Handsome little man.
Watching today, triggered all the memories I have of my mother. 🥰 My mother absolutely loved Christmas. She was Mrs. Santa Claus. Her whole house was decorated in all the old-fashioned ways. She always had a simmering pot going too. She made all the candies, all the cookies, all the breads and everything in between. She kept our Christmas traditions, her whole life. Until she left us. I treasured those memories.
Everyone in our family, looked forward to all of her holiday treats. But not only did she give them to her family. She gifted them to her friends and to doctors and to so many other people that she felt needed Christmas cheer. I asked her why she did it one time, she said she was making “happy tracks”🥰. And man oh man did she ever leave “Happy tracks.”💝
On a side note: I hate feeling like you feel the need to say over and over it’s a treat and you know it has bad ingredients. There is no reason why you have to justify making special once a year treats for your family. I would hate to think that anyone would judge you for this. Everyone who watches your videos, I would think they know, you are very intentional about your family’s nutrition.
Enjoy your special treats and foods, those once a year treats. 💝It’s the memories that will matter to your family long after you have gone.
You are making “Happy Tracks” for so many people Ruthanne💝. I pray that you and your family have a blessed Christmas Holiday.
Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge with me and with so many others.
God Bless you 🙏💝
Ruthann sometimes it’s ok to treat your family on a special holiday you always do a great job of giving the family healthy foods.The children are going to love there treats.You are such a great mother.
Always ok to treat fam❤
Once a year, very special memories, and your children are so appreciative ❤.
I worked very hard to keep family traditions going as my dad got older. Organizing Christmas dinner for immediate family. Now, there is no more tradition except my kids, who are 41 and 32 still look forward to their Christmas ornament. This will be the first Christmas in years we will sit down on Christmas day and have family dinner at my home. So blessed.
Have A Merry Christmas And Beautiful Memories 🎄
@maryannedeering1663 hope yours is Merry and bright as well!
The joy on their faces and the excitement in their voices is worth it all. MERRY CHRISTMAS
I love your balanced, sensible approach to nutrition and treats.
I agree with you, Kate. DR.s are not being taught nutrition in med school. They are taught how to treat disease and illnesses, not how to treat a healthy life style. So thank you for expounding on this topic. Please do not apologize for your position. You are being very wise and astute toward the whole well-being of the gifts, the children, God has given to you.
It is interesting and refreshing to see America publicly talking about food health and toxins, etc. I think there are many Americans individually who have been concerned about it for decades. I know of many. But it's so nice to see it becoming a public conversation and knowledge, and I'm hopeful that things will begin to change in our foods. It'll be interesting to see how far we get with it.
You’re right,the memories are very special. I make candy and cookies that I don’t make any other part of the year.🌲❤️
17:51 Ruthann I agree with 100% of what you’re saying. We even one step further and are now sugar-free. Strictly using honey or Stevia as a sweetener when needed. My point being that I am the only senior citizen soon to be 68 that I know that is not on a fistful of medications. I’m the oddball as well. I’ve been trying to fill people in on clean eating for years. And no one listens, hence the reason I’m not on medication and they are. We also slide a little during the holidays. But I restrict my intake. And I do enjoy the memories of the occasional slip. Merry Christmas to you and yours. I enjoy watching your recipe videos so much.
Yes!!! This is why!!!
Good morning, I am 81 years old and on NO medication. My husband is only on ONE medication. God is sooo good. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all.
@ that’s awesome!❤️
68 here too and no medications. We eat at home making our meals from scratch.

I live alone now and it's hard to cook for one. It's an issue I struggle with daily.
Ms. Ruthann, thank you for sharing your lives in Christ with us. Praying you are Blessed with a wonderful Christmas and a prosperous New Year!!
This was SO for me. I had those exact feelings as I spent so much money buying cookie decorating supplies. My kids are in their 20s and now want to bring girlfriends home to decorate. And we don't even eat them much. I love your tips on over-riding the negative memories! Thank you!
Ruthann, the way you describe the reasoning behind your candy making is pure delight to me. You want to captivate your children's hearts in a loving memory of being cared for in a special way. Just like Christ did for us. It is extravagant love.
Many years ago we lived in a city but now we live in the middle of nowhere and grow all of our own food. We did it for my husband's health, but the entire family has benefitted. I can't imagine going back to "modern" life... being connected to the land feels right. I learn so much from your videos... I wasn't raised this way nor do I have family that can pass on their knowledge of cooking, gardening, canning, etc.
The memories truly are what matters most ❤ It is always such a joy on Saturday mornings to see what you’ve created and to get glimpses of your children playing and enjoying time together. Thank you for keeping it real and laughing at the mishaps, sprays and spills. I have to say, every recipe of yours that I’ve tried has been a delicious success, thank you for sharing freely!
I totally hear you when you talk about how validating it feels now for everyone to be talking about food. I feel validated in the same way with other issues that people thought were conspiracies and now they are truth!
Ruthanne !! This was such a delightful video! Pure honesty! I'm so with you on the yummy "junk food"😂🎉 It's a short season, then back to clean eating! And oh, the " sweet" memories that are made❤
The excitement and joy and thankyous from your children for the special treats brought tears to my eyes! ❤ You're on the right track! Keep these videos coming. I understand the guilt of knowing that candy isn't healthy. I've been there. But good family relationships are more important 🎉 I identify soo much with everything you shared here! I'm 67. Ilove how you put your little grandson on the counter❤ Ialways did this with my kids too. Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful family
Oh watching the boy’s excitement over the candies and eggnog was just a delight !! I love your explanation and view on making memories and having special treats. If kids have those treats throughout the year then they aren’t treats and no special memory is built, but depriving them of a special treats can be a negative memory ….. you have the perfect balance !!!
Watching you unwrap those Carmel’s reassured me in my decision to make homemade Carmel for my candy ! And I was to cheap to pay for those Rollo candies, I just used that money for the fancy GHIRARDELLI melting wafers and homemade Carmel !
What a beautiful celebration of Jesus birth you have created for your family ❤
Merry Christmas everyone
What’s Carmel?
Candy once a year will not hurt your family. You have nothing to feel guilty about!
As for your simmering pot, years ago I was given a very small crock pot. It isn't big enough to cook anything in but every winter I get it out and fill it with water. Set on low it keeps my house humidified very well. I can add cinnamon sticks, citrus peel, anything I want for a soft fragrance. A few drops of vanilla smells like cookies baking. Have a wonderful Christmas. And by the way Winston is adorable! 🎄
I so understand about scrutinizing what children eat; what we all eat. It makes a difference.
I so enjoy every video... Today, I think it's because listening to calm, wise words of a sister in Christ, gives my heart and spirit peace it needs... He is our peace in all seasons. Joyous, Merry Christmas to you and your family, Ruth Ann.
Oh, I hear what you're saying. I started caring about this probably about the same time you did, but trying to get anyone else to understand was an uphill battle until recently! Good for you for sticking to your principals.
Ruth. You do a great job on the nutrition part of things. Certain treats are only eaten at Christmas. I’m in agreement there. Wishing you a merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas to you and your sweet family. May God give you many blessings in the new year. Winston is the cutest baby. He looks so much like his mother. Seeing him love on his aunt was precious.
Good morning Ruth Ann loved your tutorial brought back so many memories from when my son was young and going to school and I had him on diet with no food coloring or processed foods that was 30ty years ago
Everyone thought I was cruel and crazy
They wanted him on meds instead of
I said no to drugs ❤today my son is a awesome young man living his dream job as electrician ❤❤❤ love your channel ❤❤❤
😳 New memories.... confirmed! 🥰🤶🤣😆 Poor baby 🥰
Now, that was a priceless moment. Thank you for sharing 💐
Merry Christmas 🙏🇿🇦🇺🇲
Totally agree with your philosophy on food! I eat a mostly clean organic diet throughout the year. I look at ingredients & stay away from most processed foods. Things in moderation are usually just fine. Making those intentional positive memories with your children is so much more important than anything else & emotionally healthy! My memory is around Thanksgiving. No matter how poor we were, my mom always made a big spread that one day of the year, no one allowed in the kitchen. We didn't make Christmas cookies or candies, but wish we had those to remember...but my mom couldn't handle the mess.
This season, I wanted to make cookies and homemade marshmallows as a thank you to all the folks at my dog's daycare. They have made a HUGE difference in my rescue dog's improvement in the past year.
So I made 2 scratch cookies plus 1 which involved a cake mix... something I never buy. I make homemade peppermint marshmallows dipped in chocolate with peppermint sprinkles (to LIVE for, 😍😍 especially in hot chocolate!). A new treat I made is called Christmas Samoa Truffles made with crushed vanilla wafers. They have the flavors of Samoa Girl Scout cookies... so delicious and 4 ingredients makes 4 doz. 😍
One of my daughters is wholeheartedly about a clean, homegrown organic diet but she has a ratio 80:20 because it’s more realistic. I would say she is more 90:10 but it gives her some flexibility.
You make everything special for your kids! They will have so many wonderful memories, thanks to your purposeful parenting.
I have heard it said that we worry so much about what we eat between Christmas and New Year’s Day, instead we should be more concerned about what we are eating between New Year’s Day and Christmas!
It’s ok to indulge for the holidays.
Your videos are SO inspirational & your grandson is Adorable🥰 as all the children are, thank you for your wholesome videos
The kids are so excited with the candy and egg nog!❤️ Winston is the cutest!💙
The health and well-being of your family is the very best gift you can give. My Grandmother used to tell me "everything in moderation". The candies you made to celebrate the Christmas is a symbol of your love. Keep teaching and showing us the old time ways.
Merry Christmas to you and your family. From a fan in Indianapolis.
🎁🎄🎁🎄
My Grandmother said the same thing. She lived just short of 100.
@santos0490 Very wise women. My Grandmother lived to be 89. I learned so much from her. Cooking, sewing, etc.
Lovely video, Winston is so cute and when the eggnog went flying it made me chuckle. He is such a happy baby. Merry Christmas!
Thank you, Ruth Anne for acknowledging the fact that making holiday memories is work. Too often I see videos that are overly romanticized when it comes to Christmas, etc. They make it look too easy, clean, and tidy, when it is actually a huge labor of love...especially for Mom's of younger children. I appreciate your heart and also your level headed approach to blessing your household.
Ruth Ann, Your videos are such a blessing! The fruit of the spirit is so apparent in you and your family. Every Christmas my aunt would make these butterscotch, peanut butter Krisps. A favorite then, and now, with my children, and grandchildren! One package butterscotch bits, one cup peanut butter, 6 cups rice crispies. Melt the bits and peanut butter in a double boiler until melted. Stir in the rice crispies. Drop by spoon, or cookie scoop onto parchment paper. Refrig. to set. Enjoy!
My gramma made Christmas candies every year and it is one of my fondest memories.She brought so much love and teaching to our family. Never feel bad about doing something special for your family.
Ruthanne, it’s Christmas! The one time of year that our Savior is born & we should be joyful. Your using your own caramel recipe is just making junk food less junk, do it. Happy memories are priceless. 🙏🏻
I absolutely love your focus on family memories and emotional health. As a young mom, this is truly inspiring. ❤
Thank you Ruth Ann- showing us how to love on our families is all the little and big ways.❤
The baby in the shots it’s adorable!! 🥰
You do such a great job of making your home welcoming and loving. You don't need to apologize at all for occasional store-bought ingredients. You are still using your lovely grass-fed butter and cream - and with your large family, it's not as if anyone is going to be eating half a batch of candy all by themselves! Blessings to you this holiday season.
Loved this video! Made my heart so happy. Baby Winston was so cute sitting on the counter so contented watching his grandmother baking.
Ruth Anne, you are my hero! The slow cooker to melt the chocolate is Brilliant. Thank you for all that you share with us. May God richly bless you and your family over the holidays.
Beautiful parting shot of the snow. You are a wonderful mother and grandmother. Your family is blessed.
I just love your grandbaby sitting up on the counter with you.
I like the idea of only making candy one time per year. This makes the occasion more special for the kids. Their memories will be of that “special” Christmas candy Mom made at Christmas time every year! That becomes a family story to pass down the tradition. Love it! I wish I could be one of your kids! Blessings to you all!
I am the same way about candy making at Christmas time RuthAnn. Our children are all grown and married, but we have a lot of grand kids and they look forward to my special candy and cookies that I only do at Christmas time. My husband always says about 10 days before Christmas, "you ARE going to make your fudge for Christmas aren't you?" and then gives me that smile that I could never resist. My Mom was a very great candy maker and so when I break out all the things to make my peanut brittle, fudge, and divinity, I always remember the fun and excitement every year when I would help her do the Christmas baking and candy making. Such wonderful memories. Yes, there is always some "dread" when I know it's coming (because it is time consuming and like your family, we don't eat like this any other time of the year), but the memories and now, having some of my older granddaughters wanting to learn their great grandma's recipes, fills my heart. Merry CHRISTmas to you all!
Love the simmering pot with simple on hand ingredients. I grew my own herbs so I love doing this making the house smell fabulous!
I agree with you on dye’s etc. I also did that with my children. I read everything, there is tons of crap in cereal. I made my kids, eggs and oatmeal in the mornings. Merry Christmas. 🎄
Ruthann your videos always warm my heart. I wish I had of known all of the things that were instilled in you when I was raising my son. I was raised in the country with gardens,cows,chickens ect. But the values were not placed on these things like I wish they had of been. So I am a grandmother now and sorta of grieve for the young people not seeing what is really important. I am a christian raised in the church all of my life,but I am struggling with finding the right community. I love the simmering pot. I have also done this in the crockpot. I prayer for you and all o your family to have a very blessed Christmas and New Year.
I love your show. I’m sorry to say it took till I was 60 years old before I started being concerned about the crap they put into our ultra processed food. Anything ultra processed is bad for you. I was watching a show the other day that said if it had more than five items in it, it was bad and do not eat it. If you cannot read it .Not only the extra chemicals to make it look pretty and stay on the shelf longer is killing us. Thanks for all you do.
I hope you have a wonderful Christmas with your beautiful family. RuthAnn, you have taught me so much this past year. Thank you for sharing your recipes and wisdom. 🥰
He was such a good sport when the blender spit at him ❤ love watching you and what you donfor your family.
I love your attitude about making Christmas memories with your family. No guilt just thankfulness and praise to God for His many blessings ! 36 years ago, after lots of food elimination, we discovered our 5 years ago old daughter was suffering with migraines. These were triggered by red food dye ! We were the strange family that couldn’t/ wouldn’t eat or ingest any red food dye. Her migraines were instantly under better control and way less frequent. Now after she discovered she is gluten sensitive, her infertility and stomach issues were resolved. We were ahead of our time ! Now clean healthy eating is easier and all the trend 🤓! We’re trendsetters ! Angie from Ohio. Merry CHRISTmas !
I love your spirit. With your short lived delicious candy, you continue to build appreciation in your children. Priceless!
Fills my heart with joy seeing your grandson right in the midst of the baking❤❤
What a wonderful video. Love your Mama’s heart.
Ruth Anne,
You are one hard working women ! Thank you for your videos. It does my heart good to see many of the things you do to keep your family healthy and happy! May God continue to bless you and your family.
We always made candy for Christmas mainly nut clusters. We made peanut clusters , almond clusters, cashew clusters (my Mom's favorite). Also peanutbutter balls and peppermint bark. Much of this was given as gifts. To be honest, it was a tiring messy job and my boys refused to help. Probably because l am not very patient. It's nice to see your family together, it reminds me of my youth. God bless and keep you and yours.
Merry Christmas RuthAnn, what a beautiful, specail Christmas memory. When you make treats, actual treats children do appreciate them. In America, we over do treats, so they aren't viewed as special. I love your views on what's really important.
I really enjoy watching your videos because you have such practical ideas about taking care of your family emotionally as well as physically! 😊You cover everything with such love! ❣Your family is so fortunate to have you! I love how you explain how & why you do the things you do! That's where I learn the most! You remind me so much of my mom and that's why I love you! ❤MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!🎄🌟♥
It is validation. But for me the resounding feeling is gratitude. What a Wonderous road humanity is on for the better. A curious statement I'm sure for many reading this with so much turmoil going on. But I feel a shift, I feel amazing things coming for us all. Merry Christmas everyone ❤🎄
I love hearing about your stance with others when it comes to your diet. I struggle with this with family and friends often. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one 😭❤️
I love your heart in making memories over not having unhealthy treats. ❤️
It’s the memories of the long past Christmas’s that help me through these empty Christmas’s since the Covid years. I did finally feel like doing some traditional Christmas baking this year and watching your channel has helped me over come some of my feelings and get back to canning and baking. Thank you for sharing from your heart and experiences. Have a wonderful and blessed Christmas. Savour every bite of those delicious treats knowing that has to stay with you for a year.
Blessings! Merry Christmas and Thank You for a year of beautiful Knowledge and wisdom.
I love the memories of my Grandmother…Thank You for sharing.
Happy Birthday Jesus!
Blessings and Merry Christmas! ❤
Beautiful memories being created & I can see the joy in their eyes to be greeted by Mom’s creations of love! Thanks for sharing! Christmas blessings to all 🤗🇨🇦🌲
Hadassah”s piano playing was beautiful! Lovely memories made with your candy making. Merry Christmas! Val C ❤🙏🏻
Thankyou for your lovely video. While it is snowing for you we are in the throws of summer and looking forward to a sunny Christmas. Blessings from the South-West of Western Australia ❤
How cute the look on Winston's face when there was flying eggnog! Your hard work was certainly appreciated by all. I do love Christmas, but by the time it is over I am always thinking "thank goodness it only comes once a year"! Merry Christmas to you and your family.
I have recommended that it comes every other year because it is exhausting. No one agrees with me, but they aren't making candy and cooking Christmas dinner.😊
Ruthann- you just crack me up! I could so relate to you as you were unwrapping the caramels as that is one of my least favorite jobs, when I need to do it! Last time I made cheese, I used the whey to make caramel- a first for me! Wow, so good! My son-in-law requested it as a gift since he liked it so much. Thanks so much for sharing the recipe recently! Merry Christmas to you and your wonderful family!
Thank you for sharing your beliefs and traditions with us. I too stopped feeding my family food dyes, preservatives and boxed food but this was 45 years ago, people thought I was crazy and mean to not let my children eat what most kids/families did. I cooked everything from scratch and loved doing so. I raised 8 children. The real benefit- my children were never sick.
Merry Christmas Zimmerman Family - God Bless you all ❤️🎄😁🙏🏻🕊
Thank you Ruth Ann! Great video! Christmas blessings to you and all of your family Kiddo! 🌻🐛🌿💚🙏💕👵
I remember growing up how the day after Thanksgiving my mom would bring out her recipes and decide which candies and cookies she was going to make and bake for Christmas. When my sister and i were old enough we would help her prepare the ingredients for her; chop nuts, measure out other ingredients and clean up. We would do this most days until a few days before Christmas. What an array of goodies mom served out on trays for us to enjoy through out Christmas day !!!
Ruthann, you are such an inspiration I love watching your videos. I learned so much from you Winston is adorable and I love how excited your kids were when they got home from school and saw the treats. Making memories is the best Merry Christmas to you all.
Merry Christmas Ruth Ann, you bring David and me so much joy. I am so glad that you made the Christmas candy for the children. Christmas comes but once a year! I'm 75 now and my children still talk about our Christmas traditions. It's so important. Lee
Thank you so much for sharing your recipes and family traditions.....your take on life so refreshing and 'down home'!!! Merry Christmas to you and yours!!! 🥰
Im so greatful to have found you and your family. I love your attitude and you’re such a blessing. Probably much more than you know. May God continue to bless you and your family. Thank you for all you share.
My oldest daughter had to have her tonsils out and tubes put in her ears, and she was diagnosed with hyperactivity, not just because of red dyes because she didn’t eat a lot of those, but because of most canned goods and other processed food. We had to take her off of so many things, but she did so much better. And then when my other daughter had kids, they had problems with the red food diet and were just crazy kids. So now they don’t get red food die. When we are intentional with our children’s food, they not only behave better but they do better in school.
AND they are healthier.
@ absolutely!
Love the simmer pot idea
The word you where looking for I think I water comes in the melted chocolate it starts to crystalize ❤! Thank you again for these great candy recipes!!! ❤❤❤
I deliberately chose this video to watch this morning because I got some very difficult news yesterday, made worse because of being right before Christmas, and I knew it would be soothing. I’m going to cling to your advice about being intentional about what memories I choose to hold onto, and which I won’t. Thank you. Also, I’ve made candies with those caramels and felt your pain while unwrapping them! 😂 I would also delegate it to children whenever possible. Your frustration when the wrapper stuck to your finger made me laugh out loud. That was also a familiar experience! 😂😂 Now I’m going to indulge in some aromatherapy and make a simmering pot. Blessings to you and yours this wonderful season. I’m so grateful for my Savior as He sees me through my trials.
Hugs God bless you!!!
@ Thank you so much. 🥰
Your videos and the heart you share in them are a treasure, just beautiful. Your teaching on nutrition is desperately needed, thank you for sharing and please keep it coming in future videos. I love your perspective on how you choose to store memories. We dictate our perspective.
Thank you for the printed recipes!! It is a gift to be able to enjoy watching the video without having to pause constantly to take notes and try to write them down. I love the format of your recipes, exactly as I do mine, so much easier to follow!
God Bless you and your family with the most worshipful, wonderful memory-building Christmas!!
Hadassah is really getting good at the piano. I love the bits and pieces I can hear in your previous videos and how she is improving ❤ I rather prefer the cookies I can dip in my tea but your selection looks delicious 😊
I think there IS eternal value in eating well as it preserves us to fulfill our ministry or destiny. Thank you for encouraging me to eat from my larder for January. I am planning on a no spend month and that includes the grocery store which is robbing me blind……
A once a year treat is just that. A TREAT. Who doesn’t love a treat especially at Christmas. Well done Ruthann.
When your gone and your children are all grown w children of their own they will say Mom use to make these wonderful candies and treats at Christmas. Lets make some. That is how you are never forgotten
Oh my the children have grown so much this year ! Thank you for sharing...Merry Christmas!
I made your Sour Cream Sugar cookies today. They are hands down the best cookies I have ever made for cut out cookies. Plus they actually taste good. Thank you for making such a nice, printable page for your recipes. It’s so nice in my Notebook.
Im sitting in my rocking chair rocking my sleeping 7 month old while watching your video. I grew up eating fresh foods from local farms, fresh veggies, local meats, things we have grown ourselves. My husband grew up on heavily processed, frozen, Dehydrated, all that gross stuff. We now live on a farmette, eating things that we have grown from our garden, animals that we have raised as well as gathered- i am proud to be raising our daughter on a home grown first generation farm. You have been such a huge help to me in our new adventure! Thank you!
Thanks!
You are wise beyond your years. I love z the respect you show your children, and how they respect you♥️You give so much love always and I know in years to come you will be blessed with such blessed memories🧑🏻🎄♥️🙏🏽🎁
My kids want Christmas stockings. Never mind they are ages 13-16 this year! We didn't do it until last year. So I'm packing the stockings while listening to you. It's about the positive memories.
