Love that Benjamin uses the word "soil" instead of "dirt" - when asking to put the worm back. Only a gardener's child!
I thought the same😊
I noticed that, too.
And then apologizing to the worm 🪱 🥰
Yes, when he said “sorry” to the worm my heart melted.
Laura this is one of the best videos you’ve ever done! I know it is probably challenging to find the balance of how much you show your kids on the internet, but I’m sure we all appreciate you showing us a little window to your beautiful family! ❤ You are the best mom and you have the best kids! It’s so refreshing to see how you are fostering their gifts and interests! Keep up the good work!
Awww ... Benjamin saying "sorry" to the worm 😍 Learning empathy early is a great thing!
That was so sweet!!!❤
Benjamin is the sweetest little boy, returning the worm to the soil and saying good morning to Russel ❤
One of the most endearing videos I’ve EVER seen! Laura…You are such a wonderful Mom to those precious Kiddos!! Making sweet memories…🧒🏻👧🏼🥕💚🥕🧡🥕
Her kids will remember the year that they helped pick the BIG carrots with their mom. One of my earliest memories is picking an extremely large tomato with mom. I was no older than three.
Can I ask which ingredient you said you were doing 3tsp rather than 1.5? Maybe cinnamon
I'm guessing it was cinnamon.
AGREED! A wonderful video. We so love sharing all the family moments with Laura.
@@lisabailey6605 yes, cinnamon.
It was so cute when Benjamin said, "Oh hi Russell, good morning." Your kids are so adorable.
Oh my goodness. I cannot believe Samantha is growing to be so "mature". The expressions on her face show pure joy in her world. Benjamin is just a gracious little man. From garden to table to sharing to eating...just perfect.
Laura, this happens to be one of my favorite videos so far for 2024! So heartwarming to see how the kids love to be included in the harvesting and the cooking! You are such a wonderful and patient mom, and your children are thriving because of it! I wish that YT had smell-a-vision! Hope that y’all enjoyed that delicious carrot cake❣️🥕🥕
Honestly, Laura, I think this "Garden Answer"video may be my favorite! Not only am I encouraged about those carrots - but the cake baking session touched my soul... sweet memories in the kitchen with my own children,and witnessing the joy of YOUR children baking a cake, making memories with you.... Thank you for sharing your life with us..
Aww Samantha's excitement over her good job cracking the eggs 💜 "Thank you mom!" So cute 🥺
🥰 CUTENESS OVERLOAD😊
My 6 year old niece is already an enthusiastic gardener and last fall insisted her mom could make a carrot pie using the carrots she grew. So, when the carrots were ready to harvest they used them in a recipe similarly to sweet potatoes and pumpkin purée to make carrot pie. My niece had complete confidence in the outcome but her parents…..not so much. When it came to tasting it the pie was a complete hit…much like sweet potato pie. (Don’t forget the whipped cream) We’re still not sure where or why a 6 year old would know about carrot pie, but it’s a story and memory we’ll cherish for a long time. 👍🥕🥧
What a lovely story & memory! Have a beautiful day! ❤
I love children's creativity and unfettered imagination. Should I get a good carrot harvest this season, I may have to try this!
Thanks for sharing your wonderful story 😊
Oh my goodness...I loved watching Benjamin and Samantha Grace helping. My little kiddos are now 35,28,&26. They used to help me bake all the time.
That was cute watching the kids pull out the carrots. Lots of fun in today's video.
I hear ya.. my children are 29, 25 and 23. But now I have 3 grandsons that are 5, 3 and 4mo. I have lil helpers again lol. Children are God's beautiful gift.
I also baked with all my kids. I miss those days. I'll be making a carrot cake for my son, turning 23😢❤
This was such a heartwarming video! From Benjamin holding the worm, and helping harvest the carrots to Samantha cracking her eggs and licking the spoon. Then all of you smelling the delicious aroma of the carrot cake and sharing it with Nanna and Poppa! It was so delightful!
I must appreciate Laura for being so patient with kids.That cake looks amazing.
Benjamin is so articulate. His speech pattern is a delight to the ears. I love how you allow the children to participate in various activities.
Im in Tears. My kids are all adults and my grandchildren are adults, I so miss what you have. Please believe me when I say enjoy these moments because it only lasts a second.
The elusive Cheddar chasing the carrot tops brought one of many smiles in this video. It was fun to see him be so interactive. The carrot cake looks delicious (Monica gave 👍🏻) and your kiddos sharing time with you is always precious. Thank you so much for sharing.
Benjamin! You are a really good cameraman. And Samantha! I'm so impressed that you can break eggs so well. I bet your cake was amazing.
Samantha's cry of joy when she cracks the egg: priceless!
Samantha stole the show, especially when cracking the eggs. Both kids are so sweet. Loved the video.
I loved how after her Mom complimented her on her breaking the eggs, she said, “ Thank you Mom”
It always makes me smile when you allow Benjamin to hold the camera. It's almost like we are able to see through his developing point of view.
This really made me tear up.. watching you guys. Laura you are such a good mother. 🥹♥️♥️😊It’s been a privilege to watch you with your children. Thank you for sharing such a sweet, endearing video with us. Tell Samantha and Benjamin thank you also for allowing us to watch and that they did a great job helping their mama in the kitchen making that cake!
I agree
Douglas was giving you quite the look around 13:50! Benjamin and Samantha are such a delight. Did you ever think your children would be such an integral part of your channel? And we are so glad they are! So sweet and fun. I have read the cold raises the sugar in the carrots, did you find these to be especially sweet? I am watching this late in the evening and all of the sudden I am so hungry for a piece of cake. Another great video on the books!😆
Fabulous video, Samantha and Benjamin involved from harvest to delivery. While I don't care for carrot cake I've recently had a wonderful carrot soup. I don't have the recipe because it was made at the neighborhood bar owned by a niece and her husband. Their chef is incredible.
Douglas made me 😂!
I noticed him too!♡
I love how sweetly Benjamin greeted Cheddar. And Cheddar helping harvest 🥕 😅
Words just can’t describe how precious this video is! This video you show these beautiful babies enjoying not only you as mom but how to bake a cake. You are such a great mom. These memories you will have a lifetime and the kids will always remember these special moments. A+ mom.
Samantha's little squeals of delight.. so wonderful! And Benjamin is THE BEST big brother. What amazing parents you and Aaron are!!!
What a patient mom you are. Love watching the kids help and Samantha's excitement over cracking open the eggs! So sweet!
Laura is the perfect example every mother should be
What a delight! We got Cheddar "helping" out, and the kids digging right in, and could they be any cuter helping with the baking AND filming? ❤ 😂
You are blessed, Laura, and we are blessed that you share these beautiful moments with us!
Samantha's pure joy is priceless. Benjamin is so polite but silly and helpful, and I love it! I will be trying this recipe soon.
This has been one of my favorite videos. I find your kids delightful and how you interact with them positive and special.
Russel and Benjamin helping you pick carrots is so cute! “Thank you Mom”
Aaron better look out, the B man ready to take over. I just love it when you take the time to acknowledge the children, the words of encouragement and praise. All children need that.
So nice to see Cheddar playing and loving on Laura. And there's Douglas watching in the kitchen window! Benjamin sure had fun shredding the carrots! He has grown up so fast.
I love that the first thing your mom said is, "we have to smell it!".... which is exactly what you were doing during the process! ♡ What a great video!
Quick cake tip I learned from a comment several years ago. No need to spend extra on parchment rounds or cut your own an unbleached basket style coffee filter fits an 8 in round perfectly I even use them in my 9in and cakes come out clean every time. Spray the pan flatten the filter and spray again if not stuck down, peels right off like parchment and cheaper than buying the rounds. 👍
Love is the highest form of expression. It is when we are at our best. When parents are engaging with their children in a meaningful, purposeful, supportive and nurturing way, that is love in motion. This is why today's video is a great watch. We are seeing ourselves at our best.
That was so much fun! Love that your helpers have diversified skills - garden harvesting, carrot grating, cake making and eating, bonus skills: videoing. Thanks for taking us along. 🥰
I love watching you. I so enjoy you engaging the children into projects. It reminds me when our children were young, They are 55, 53. and 48. I so enjoyed interacting with them.
Oh Laura I just have to say it that Benjamin is precious. He is obviously learning so much from you. He knew exactly which carrots were good and which ones weren't. Then seeing both Benjamin and Samantha help you you bake was priceless. Samantha's giggle I could listen to all day.😊
I'm ordering carrot seeds today! OMG Laura, I have four kids, the latest of which are still in high school, and am a new grandma as well. But I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to watch you with your children! You're a super inspiring mother and that's pretty special these days. I know you're very busy with your business, but when you're WITH your kiddos, you are really there with them. Much love and many blessings from Atlanta!
You know, hopefully other moms that don’t have the patience can learn that it’s worth it and maybe give it a try!
The pure joy of Samantha successfully cracking the eggs and thanking you for allowing her the privilege 🥰!! Such precious memories. I see Benjamin as a future RUclipsr haha. Caught him in the middle trying to sign off the video. How cute was that. The cake looked delicious and I’m glad you all enjoyed it. I once harvested carrots from frozen soil in Idaho one winter. What a pain to get out of the ground but surprisingly still firm and tasted good. It’s a great crop to eat off of throughout the winter as long as you can get them out of the ground. 🥰
Precious! Thanks for bringing us along! Benjamin and Samantha are so cute! So excited through the whole process! Love that you are so patient and they love helping! Sweet memories being made!
Lovely proof that children just want to do everything they see their parents do! Laura and Aaron are a great example of how to do it right! Love this so much!
Loved watching the interactions with the little ones but Samantha’s little giggles just brought up some memories and really made me tear up - I’m NOT crying.
So sweet of you to share their pure joy! It’s impossible not to smile & yum carrot cake one of my favs (but In ove with walnuts.)
I know everyone keeps saying it but it was even more! Evident that Samantha is your mom’s twin baby. ❤
Monica: "What cake recipe did you use?"
Laura: "The first one that came up on my internet search"
This is so relatable 🤣😂
As a mom of a toddler, I watch all my videos at 1.75x or 2x the normal speed due to lack of time but once you were interacting with Samantha and Benjamin, I watched at normal speed the whole way through. Your interactions together are very precious and put a smile to my morning. I shall try that carrot cake recipe!
Watching you with your beautiful children brings back so many memories of my girls when they were that age. Thank you for taking us along on your journey through life with your wonderful family. Your videos bring a smile to my face every morning!
That was adorable! Benjamin and Samantha Grace really love to help with gardening, cooking and baking. It's great that you teach and involve them. They were so happy and pleased with themselves! That cake looked delicious. Those were monster carrots! 😄
Awe when Mr Benjamin asked if he could pick with you 🥹 melted my heart. Cherish these days for sure .👍🏼 great video.
I just love Douglas creeping in the backround, watching through the window. Seems to always just follow you all around.
What a wonderful video. First of all the excitement you displayed with the exposing of the different carrots. Then the shared excitement of the kids and their involvement of the harvesting and the discovery of the worm the bug and the MUD... the way you let the kids help making the cake. Then the sharing of that delicious cake with your family. This was an award winning video in my eyes. The only thing missing was Aaron.❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much for sharing your charming family with us! My children are 38 and 41 years old and my one and only grandchild is 16. Your children are delightful. ❤
I loved this! I have such wonderful memories of baking with my kids when they were little. Samantha’s enthusiastic answer when you asked if she wanted to help pull the carrots. She saw a great opportunity to get her hands dirty! Benjamin when he was narrating to the camera then whispered to you that he was “talking to the camera”. Those kids are are sweet as that cake ❤
All of you bring so much joy to the world. You and your family truly have the sweetest souls. Thank you for sharing your wisdom, skills, and family with us.
I almost forgot how fun it was to cook with my kids. Now 28 and 31... thx for the reminder! I never ever thought about freezing shredded carrots 🥕.
That is so cool that the carrots last that long in the ground and that they made that beautiful cake. It was fun watching the kids enjoy the baking.
It was great seeing Cheddar 'help' you harvest the carrots, and I got a kick out of Douglas watching you through the window. The kids had such a good time baking and tasting. Really love how you find something they can do during each step of the process. Yum! I didn't know I could freeze shredded carrots. What a great tip.
That was so much fun to watch the kiddos making a cake with mom and then enjoying it with grandma , grandpa and Monica!!!!
Oh wow this brought tears to my eyes. Having three grown kids with my youngest in college I have such great memories of cooking with my kids. Now they ask me to help them learn to make those recipes and one of mine works in a professional kitchen! Good times, thank you for sharing.
Whoever edited this video, the music while Laura picked the carrots was so nice and peaceful. I don’t know how to explain it. But it was perfect.
Then the kids stole the show! They’re absolutely precious! Laura, you are so much more patient baking with your kids than I am with my 3 year old. ❤
I also don’t care for raisins. I instead add a small can of drained crushed pineapple. The kids are so sweet!
Benjamin is like "OH... mud.... .." Samanta is like "H3!! Yeah! MUD!" 😂😂
We have 3 and it's always so crazy to me how different they are. I know they're their own people but you know what i mean.
PS. I love that Douglas is always peeping through a window. 😂😂😂
I keep editing my comment because everything about this video is perfect. How the whole entire family came together and showed them how amazing the cake that they help make was. You guys are awesome.
Loved this morning’s video. I have never left carrots in the ground. Samatha is so cute licking the spoons and Benjamin is so eager to help. You are so patient with your children Laura.
Beautiful family moments to treasure. Carrot harvesting, and baking delicious carrot cake with the kids. Benjamin and Samantha along with the fur-baby - gardeners helping Mom. Kids assistance in the kitchen & family taste testers is awesome as well. What an absolutely lovely video. Thank you so much Laura for sharing. Blessings and love to you and family. Sherry 🥰 🙏 💞 🥕🥕
The best part of this video was when Benjamin and Samantha was helping you cook❤ They are so precious!!
Cherish these days for they are the best. I so enjoyed you, Benjamin and Samantha Grace, and your mom, dad, and sister! Just a wonderful way to start a Monday.❤️
Samantha's giggles and squeals were priceless and the cake looked yummy 😋, love is the key, always 💞
I love leaving my carrots in the ground during the winter, I mulch them in real well in the fall, so satisfying to run out and get "fresh and extra sweet carrots" in the garden during the winter!! ❤ your video baking with your children! So precious!
Ahh, the best part of baking … licking the spoon and Samantha certainly got it right! I also loved seeing Cheddar being such a great garden helper!! All the while y’all were pulling the carrots I kept thinking Bethany’s pigs would be making happy oink oinks for such a yummy February feast. 👩🍳🥕👩🌾🥮🧁🥣🐖🐓🐈🐈⬛😹
My 3 year old son LOVES this video! He asks to watch it at least once a day, so your view count is up at least 48 views from him alone 😂 It even inspired him to want to plant his own carrots so “we can make carrot cake too”. ❤ thanks for the family friendly content! It has been something him and I have snuggled and watched together since he was born.
Love love love it! What's better than a cooking demonstration from Laura? A cooking demonstration with Benjamin and Samantha joining in! You are such an awesome mom Laura!
Love how your kids participated in your little activities like that...your kids and your family are so lovely to watched❤❤❤
Laura you gotta make everybody a carrot cake and deliver them for an early Easter present
Took me back to baking carrot cakes with my mom, it was one of our favorite things to bake that and peanut butter cookies; my mom has been in heaven for a few years now, so this filled my cup over. Thanks you 😊
I feel the same way.
Those kids had such a wonderful time. Loved Benjamin talking and handling the camera. They are learning so much and it was fun to see them having a great time. Fun video.
Those carrots were huge and so loved watching the kids helping. How fun to share your cake with your family at the garden shop. I seen Aaron walk in but he walked out.
What fun! Your little sous chef really concentrates & her egg cracking skills are the best. Lovely to see the whole family enjoying the fruits of your labors!
Loved this video with your kids helping you harvest the carrots, then grinding them, then baking the cake. You are so good with showing your kids how things are done and allowing them to help you at such a young age. Samantha stole the show with breaking the eggs and adding them to the cake. Benjamin is so thoughtful with handling the worm and saying good morning to Russell. I'm glad that you didn't put raisins in the carrot cake--it's so much better without them. Loved seeing everyone enjoying the cake. Laura, you are such a good daughter sharing the cake with your parents and Monica. You all are such a wonderful family.
Best part of the video for me "oh, hi Russell, good morning"...filled my heart!
That got me right in the ❤ too
A perfect delight for a snowy morning. Your mother’s sweet heart always shows through. She is always joyful- and so are you! Oh yeah, the carrot thing was good too😍
Uhhh these videos bring such a smile to my face! Your kiddos are just so sweet! Love the genuine giggles we all share together.
My mom once told me that baking with your kids gives them a great deal of satisfaction, to follow through with a task, and see the end results. I can't believe the patients your kids have. A 2 day process?! And then bringing it to nana and papa! So many learned skills, just from baking a cake. Laura you are sweet and patient with your kids, and the fruit is showing in them❤ love this video!
I was wondering, how did the shredded carrots taste? Were they sweet?
I never knew that carrots would last so long in the raised beds! They look great! I love the way the kids help you bake. They do a great job of following your instructions!
Susan is a ninja.🤣 I loved it when she said first we smell it, and they all leaned in. She was ready for the kids reaching and jumping, though. Adorable.😍🥰
Ooo, the cake looks so wonderful! Just love how interacted and excited the kiddos were! Benjamin is really getting into making videos. He's going to be you and Aaron's right hand man soon. Love the closeness of your family so much!
Couldn't help but smile at Benjamin's commentary when baking the cake.
Incredible that the carrots were still edible a year later! Who knew?! What an absolutely sweet episode! Samantha Grace's squeals and screams were soooooo cute! I totally get it!
That was the cutest video. Samantha saying “thank you mommy”. My heart❤️
Whether you are inside or outdoors, I love watching your videos. Thank you, Laura and family!
"Thanks mom!" 💝 And Benjamin jumping from the excitement! This is the best!
Laura you have two very precious helpers…and that carrot cake looks so delicious by the way one of my favorite cakes….love watching and learning from your videos at 74 years of age I watch every day and learn something new every time…
Laura, I am so glad you are showing people that everything does not have to be cosmetically perfect to be edible.
So fun watching the kids help! Benjamin is hilarious filming! 😂
I love it that you include your kids! You are making beautiful memories! I miss my kids being little and baking and gardening with them. I can’t wait for the grand babies!!🥰 Love watching you Laura!🌸
So fun to watch everyone learning and happy being together. What a great day! Thank you for sharing it with us. I also enjoyed reading the comments. Touching in so many ways. Blessings to you all.
I think this is my favorite RUclips video. Brings back memories and you are such a patient mom and your kids are helping! They're excited to be helping , just being with mom. ❤awesome video, thank you
I love when the cats come to help Laura in the garden. My favorite part of this video was the camera shot of Cheddar looking through the tops of those carrots like he was about to pounce! ❤❤❤❤❤
Last year I had the pleasure of meeting you at the Northwest Flower and Garden Festival. When I told my son, he was disappointed that he didn’t get to go and meet Benjamin. He told me “mom, he’s a RUclipsr and I wanted to play with him”. Please let Benjamin know my son Harrison (age 6) is a fan of his RUclips channel! 😄
So sweet! Thank you for being a patient and loving mother!❤
