Also my adult children have recently told me- thank you for keeping me safe when I was little. Back then they would get mad if we didn't let them spend the night with families we didn't know. Now, they completely understand. So, yes saying no is hard but necessary.
My parents when we were growing up would have our friends come to our house mostly instead of us going to their houses. Only if mom knew the family real well could we go to our friends house for a night. I thank them for that.
My daughter also thanked me sincerely! She was so mad at us during her teenage years but now she says if it was not for our rules she would have made poor life decisions. She was so thankful that I actually cried
@@OurTribeofMany try putting your bucket of honey in the bath tub filled with hot water. Your fish is a crappie and you did pronounce it correctly, they do get fairly big for a pan fish and they’re really good. Clean your fish before you put the in the freezer they’ll be fine it’s just nerves that are still muscle spasming. 😊
I know she do a lovely job feeding her family I am 69 years old I love all the different recipes it's a great family show I love to see them at church God is good
For the honey bucket we bought a small blanket warmer that we can set the temp. It was like $25 from Walmart. I wrap it around the bucket and half a day I have nice soft honey I can scoop into other containers.
Good plan, in Beekeeping catalogs they sell bucket warmers. Or scoop out enough for a big bowl and put that smaller amount in oven on very low temp. Anything 140 degrees will kill all the good properties of raw honey. I’m a 10 year beekeeper.
@@CarlaLemar yes temp is important thanks for sharing. The blanket warmer we got could set a temp to 90. It worked great and was way more affordable than one specifically for honey or kombucha.
There are so many reasons why I love your channel. But selfishly because you represent what my husband and I could not. Bless you 1968 was not the same , in so many ways. ❤
Putting limits on electronics is so important for the child's well-being! I even need too limit how much time I spend. Spending time with creative things so important . I too cancelled my cable tv and was so glad. Being the adult is never easy . Yes the benefits for our children having parents with strong parenting skills is of the best for the family.
Sarah I have to say when you said you needed something to do because you were bored I did giggle a little bit. You are one of the busiest and most creative and produtive moms on the planet. Love your channel
The thing I want to say....thank you for sharing the beauty of this amazing family. I never got to have babies...I was not blessed with children seeing your amazing sweet family is such a blessing to my soul. Thank you🙏🙏
Hi Sarah and Solo…I don’t regret taking my kids tablets away but I think I was more afraid or scared of thinking about “how I would now entertain them” but to honest: they have become so creative, they interact with each other better, and their behaviors/attitudes are so much better! It was hard at first but each day got easier😊 Love this video…always love seeing the kiddos even my kids like watching with me and yes we feel we are part of the family😆. Be blessed 🙏🏾
We have been going between our city house and our farm for almost 4 years! We are moving to the farm full time once school is out! The struggle to maintain 2 households is real! I am so excited to wake up every morning in the country.
I finished the book yesterday and I had to let you know how incredible it was. It was so inspiring to read. I’m not a mom yet but reading this gave me so much hope to raise a child in todays world. I’ve been watching you for well over 3years now and I’m so happy that you’ve opened up your life to RUclips. Your relationship with your husband and your children is beautiful. I never knew that watching you years ago, I myself would also end up with an African man. I love watching that dynamic in your household.
I love when you do a Q&A. I think what you share is so inspiring. You and Solo have such wisdom. Your children are healthy and have balance in their lives. It was the cutest at the end to see Peace wearing that costume as a dress 😅😅.
My sister, 5 kiddos, eventually decided, if you want your internet, you do your chores! She changed the password until the chores were done. Now, some were a bit slower in getting their chores done, the others would complain! Well then! Go help your sister/brother to get their chores done! I think that’s the best idea she’s had yet, because, they now HELP each other ❤
I have to say I love your channel. Your parenting is so refreshing and it shows in your children. I watched the one where you caught the fish, and it brought back so many memories, as we fished a lot as kids, and the worst part was cleaning them. 😃 Now, I just want to mention that we never threw the bones or the heads back into the lake or river because many people are at the lake and could step on one. I have a friend who stepped on a head and the bone went into her heal, and many, many infections and surgeries later, she lost part of her foot. Please, with so many people enjoying your pond, consider not throwing any fish heads or bones into the pond. Just a suggestion. Take care
I agree with your ideas on eating. My husband has lost 70 pounds, myselfabout 20 and we did not diet. We just stopped eating when we felt just full, not continue to eat because it tasted good. Many times we left a bit of food on our plate because we were done. We ate just about everything but in moderation. I still baked and enjoy a sweet treat. Thanks for your insights into this as I know many people that go on diets and it does not work.
Old pack and plays can be used as play pens for ducklings and chicks. Save it! I have a pack and play full of chicks on my porch right now. They can also be flipped over to protect chicks getting some outside time from predators when it gets warm outside.
Sarah and Solo are wonderful loving Parents you are a blessing to so many People Love you all so much God bless 🙏🏻✝️☮️🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🌹💙💐🍀❤️💗🌷💚💘💕🌺💜❤️🩹🙏🏻✝️☮️🐣🐰🌹🌷
Hey hey, great video! We are all different and I absolutely respect that. I just lost 90+ pounds after 3 babies in a row. Finally back to healthy me! Only took me 5 months! Feel better then I have in 15 years!!
@Brittany Olson I've done intermittent fasting and keto before and I lost 70 pounds. Got off track and gained it all back. I've been contemplating on doing carnivore vs keto this time. Thanks for your response!
It's so cute watching Peace having fun with her siblings and not viewing all the action from the couch as a baby. She's a big girl now.😂❤❤ When my first children were small, I bought our first gaming system, but we were hardly home, always on tour or at rehearsals. Saturday nights were our time to enjoy it, but we were often too tired(tv time was 2 hours a few days if at home or during holidays). When my son came along, my big brother got him a gaming system and I still kept the plan of Saturday nights and limited the time(more time given during holidays). I had to take it away a few times for a while for him to focus on other things. The last time I took it away, I forgot about it for 2 months until we were moving and so did he. He instead, got more into his art and perfected his talent, we were also spending more time together. Now my little ones have the tv and we are all watching it together on the Weekend for no more than 2 hours and during the weekdays 1 hour before bed( there is a gaming system but it's put away, they don't even know about it). If the parents set the rules and are firm on what they mean, there should be no problems with it.
You're doing a great job. I've learned so much from watching your videos. It's very hard to not snack. Sometimes a snack becomes a meal. At the end of the day. You do what's good for you and your family.
The ducklings go so big from the last video till now! My word! I'm so glad there's been no problems/accidents with Nessa. She's curious but so sweet with them.
I love how your children love playing outside and riding bikes and the girls playing dress up. That's how I grew up back in the 70s/80s. We were never indoors . When we were teenagers we'd play baseball or kickball in the alley or just hang out on my best friends porch. There were like 10 us we all lived on the same block. I miss those days when things were easier. I love how you've taught your kid's that all that electronic stuff isn't that important. And now that you've got all that property I can only imagine how much fun they're going to have. I hope their friends from the old house will be able to visit them😊❤
Good morning! I just wanted to say thank you Sarah so much! I learned about freezing bread from you and now I'm learning about baking bread and making butter and cheese! You make me want to be a better homemaker and mom! My son's Seth's age but nonverbal and a lot of the things you've taught me have helped more than you could ever know. My son also loves your videos and he comes running into the room when he hears your opening song! Keep doing what you're doing! I look forward to watching your videos! ❤️ From Ashley & Ben ❤️
Hello all! When you are building your new home, consider radiant floor heating at least in some areas. Our addiction has it for the purpose of heating and it’s so nice to walk in in the winter but BIG Bonus is if I keep my large pails of Coconut oil and Honey on the floor, it’s perfect softness! Also, when germinating trays of seedlings, I can simply line the floor. No more creative lights, heating pads, etc
Our daughter has a gaming system and it's been such a blessing for us. She gets to play with family who we don't always get to see and they have a bond that I think would have been hard to create otherwise. We have a lot of parental blocks on it but it's great to have that connection. It's definitely always a balance
The ducks!!!! One of my favorite family videos of all time is of our kids playing in the sprinkler with my daughter's baby goose! 🥰 They would run through and she followed honking her heart out. Then she would wag her tail and honk waiting for them to take off again. 😂. So cute!!!!
I love your channel so much. Your short with the craft idea and singing is precious! Would love to watch more videos with your children singing. God bless you all
Hello from Australia 🇦🇺 I feel like I haven’t seen your vlogs in ages it’s good to catch up again. We are a much smaller channel than you with 11 kids but I still completely understand how what we show on our vlogs can be misunderstood by some viewers. I think you’ve done great with the initiative eating 😊
Thank you for the last video on electronics. I felt the conviction so strong for so long and the recent shows I caught my kids watching on Netflix (in the kids show settings) made me lay down the hammer. I told my husband if he wants to keep Netflix then he had to put a password on it so that I didn’t have to fight the battle everyday. I’m slowly working on eliminating more streaming apps and praying for warmer weather to come fast.
There is such cuteness all around in your house!!! The kids , the ducks !!! Adorable!!! Thanks for letting us be a part of your blessings!!! 😊😊😊 And you are inspiring me to try to cook bread again !! Thanks!!
I absolutely encourage & fully support your personal ‘rule’ of smaller portions especially at your end of day meal! I’ve lost 60# over 18 months doing just that AND not eating anything 4 hours before bed! If it makes you feel good and you can commit to it, go for it, there will be no stopping you! 👍😀👏
As a kid before my brother was gifted an attari...as a family we would do board games on the weekend. Also I had a record player and everyone brought out their records and we took turns picking a song to listen to and if someone didn't like a song or group that was picked they couldn't say anything bad or fuss ..that's how I learned a lot of my parents music from the 50s and 60s.
I loved my memories of going to Grandmals reaching in the cookie tin for a home made cookie, playing board games or card games, just having family fun, in a loving atmosphere. Let's face it, in my days we were curbing the couch potato habit. I must have grown up in an unhealthy family. (Grandmal had 7 children, 18 Grandchildren, 32 Great Great) The heart of this family was Love! Pure, plain, & simple.
I admire u and Solo soo much..your values,parenting,and every other aspect ..my girls thought I was terrible at times when they couldn’t go somewhere ect..I think we all go through that..I know I did..my mom wouldn’t let me go to the beach one year with so friends.I thought they were so unfair!! On the way to the beach ..my friends loss control of the car and wrapped it around a tree..they all died and the only area that wasn’t demolished and crushed was the seat I would have been in..that hit me soo bad.I never questioned them again when they said no..I know everything any of us parents do is not to b mean,but because we love them and want to protect them….God Bless..have a wonderful EASTER💜🐇🥕🙏
Thank you for sharing this part of your journey. I love the farm and can't wait to see the vision cone to life! Waiting to see what animals you decide on. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Best parents, wonderful family. Oh, by the way, there is no written script on what makes a good, healthy, loving family. You are loved and I admire all of you. 😊
I remember as a child , we had a huge chest freezer full of milk cartons with the tops cut off full of water with fish in them. 🤣 I had completely forgotten about that so whoever mentioned that in the comments thanks for bringing up the memory.
DEFINITELY agree about the screen time!! When one of my kids has gotten grounded from electronics or we crack down on the schedule, they are much more pleasant! 😁
The most important thing i learned in school for dietetics was that cravings don't go away but they only take two bites to satisfy. So share a food or desert: everyone wins. Then the body moves on to the next craving. It takes about 20 minuets for the stomack to process the food, so you make sense. Great job; mom also uses this method and it helps loads of people.
Hi Sarah! Bought your book, am absolutely loving it!! I've raised 4 children, and have 7 grands and 2 great grands. I'm currently reading this and will totally recommend it to any young parents I know. It's concise, scripture filled, and common sense, a must have for any young family getting started!!
Thank you for sharing your family and life with us. I'm enjoying watching your family growing up and being exceptional people for our beautiful world. You two are doing a fantastic job!
Sarah, if you have favorite utensils, measuring cups etc, that you have to bring back and forth, get yourself a good toolbox. That you can carry. They have several draws. I use a craftsman when I do catering. 😘
Sadly there are just too many people with strange ideas who are also more than Happy to Force their ideas on to others. In this case Lucky you & your family. Because they know the right way to do Everything & YOU MUST Listen & Learn. NO & NOPE. Continue to do You because it’s working well. Your children are a Delight. My daughter is teaching her girls Intuitive Eating. Fruit is Always available but not Juice. Lots of water. Sweets & Snack Foods are occasional foods. Plates never need to be cleared BUT if 1/2 or more is left that may impact choices available for M/T, A/T or Supper.
Cute duckies! We've been fostering 4 baby bunnies for almost a month now. Lots of work but so cute and so much fun! I think every kid is different with their potential for addiction as well. My youngest can be around electronics or tv and show interest but then move on to something else. My older twins were preemies and I think have some sensory processing/ADHD behaviors. My husband lets them play a little video games and they get sucked right in...have a REALLY hard time turning it off and calming down after. Or if they're ever around tv anywhere, they sit and stare even for commercials. I limit to 1 movie most days depending what we're doing but I'd like to cut back on even that.
Great video!! I agree that every household has to do what’s is best for them. We have gaming systems here and tablets but there are rules that they are only allowed from Friday evenings to Sunday evening after things are done and then there’s a limit of time. That seems to work for us whereas I know other families who allow their children to play with them all the time and I can see the difference in their behavior and other aspects that are completely different than our children. I believe everything in moderation.
Hello, In Franklin TN there is a great organic food markets! It's a great ride from Nashville. There's Herban Market, Sprouts, and Whole foods. Happy Shopping! Nashville to Franklin is about 30 mins. Franklin is a really cute, cute town! I love it! Toodles 🌸
Hello Mwanias, Please don’t feel bad about shakey videos. We are subscribers because we love you not necessarily the perfect quality of the videos.😍😍😍😍. You are so inspirational . Love you all❤.
Good morning , so happy to see you this morning when I woke up ❤ the farm life is so great , a little crowded but comfy . It's so good you keep the internet with the kids down to the bare minimum it's so bad as we experienced with our grandkids ‼️ yikes enough said ‼️🙏🏾 You and Solo provide a solid front in raising the kids,so important 😊🙏🏾🙏🏾👍💝🌅
It must be hard being in the public eye, opening the community up to tell you how best to parent and live etc. It takes skill and strength not to allow all the opinions get to you ❤ I’m sure.
Here in Texas we say crop ee for the crappie fish. My favorite fish. Nothing better than fresh, warm bread. Too much sugar daily is not a good thing. Hello Solo. My budget for food (1person) has doubled. You two are great parents. This is reflected in each of your children. Children thrive on a disciplined life. Reading books is so much more enjoyable than TV. My few RUclips families give me great joy. Take care❤
I have 3 small kids... a year ago we watched cartoons 4 - 6 days a week... our eyes were opened to effects of tech addiction in young kids and now our watching habits are basically inverted where the kids watch a movie/short show 1 to 3 times a week. Someone advised me not to use it as a crutch but I was at the time and I'm so glad we caught it early. My kids play better now, they're better at entertaining themselves, and I think they are generally happier. They don't even ask to watch very often. I think it's harder as the parent to break the habit of letting them watch often. I used to default to the TV when things got hairy but not it's not even an immediate thought, just gotta ride out the chaos sometimes. Definitely recommend limiting TV, your kids will create memories coming up with imaginative things to do, they won't grow up and say "Remember all those awesome shows we got to watch when we were young?!"
How wonderful that these comments are from self stated experts available on RUclips videos to give criticism when they probably have such perfect lives and have no issues. Sarah, I never was as beautiful as you after one child let alone 11. Your beautiful as you are and your family is amazing.
First, let me say that I love your videos. You inspire and motivate me as a mother/wife. Juggling a full house of children is not easy. Thank you again for your videos. Now, as the fish, that is a crappie. Me personally crappie is a really good fish to eat. I usually bleed mine out from the gills to die faster. Yes you can freeze the fish in water to last longer for a year and more. If I cook the fish within a couple of months I clean it and vacuum seal it. I need to learn to start making home made bread. Much love from Texas.
I ALWAYS love your channel. The children, Nessa and now the ducks... AMAZING. Moving to the farm is heaven sent.. I'm in awe of your family....your Babies can safely play in an open space. No cars, no guns, no danger. AMEN. Thank you for the tip of waiting 20 minutes after a meal, that goes in effect TODAY. May the Lord Jesus Christ continue to bountifully bless "The Tribe Of Many❤
I love watching your videos and your family! You should look into the Bosch kitchen machine for making bread. You can easily make 6 loaves at a time with minimal work involved. It would save you a lot of time. Also my son in law is a beekeeper and he tells everyone to leave the honey pail under the sink because it’s the warmest cabinet.
If you are very hungry before dinner (or any meal) try a large spoon full of peanut butter (for children a smaller spoonfull) for that meal. The peanut butter will stop the hunger. The peanut butter will fill you up for the time being. No crackers, just the spoon full of peanut butter. It has worked for me anyway for years. I am an RN and I always had peanut butter in my office or my car (depending on the job I had, sometimes I was a home care nurse). I often ran out of time to eat at meal times while working and would get headaches or just be starving and hard to concentrate on work but had to continue to work anyway and found this a life saver and so easy to manage!
Sarah for the honey bucket you can use a Bee blanket that is electric and will slowly heat up the honey and get it running again. My husband keeps bees and we do that when our honey gets hard. ❤
I have to say this Sarah I think your raising a beautiful family and you and Solo have taught them well. As for your food choices it’s no one’s business, if the Karen’s don’t like it they need to move on. The hours you spend making and then editing these videos you don’t deserve any Karen remarks. I have gleaned from you and your family! Have a great week and thank you for taking us along on your journey🤗
I imagine the Mwania house keeps the tooth fairy very busy.❤🦷🧚 I love the variety of all the content. Can’t wait till you guys have moved in to your new place. So exciting!🎉. You guys are in my prayers always ! 🙏🏻✝️
As much as those kids love that swimming pool, I can't imagine how they love this new place with no pool even more.........can they swim in the lake? (when it's warmer of course) I think it's so great that they will have so much land to roam and grow up on!
When my kids were growing up I refused to buy any hand held games or Xbox type of games for them... I got them board games for them to play I grew up w/o them I turned out ok lol my kids were made to go out and play & I didn't have any computer either or cable...my kids are grown now and they have jobs
On Saturdays we would play alot of boards game me and my kid . But it was winter most of the time in Canada . So going outside was not always a option. I think kids should play and not be on w computer all day .
Hello from East Tx, where we fish a lot. You tube how to clean a crappie, or a sun perch. You skin or scale them, then cut the heads up. My hubby uses a very sharp fillet, knife or an electric knife
Also my adult children have recently told me- thank you for keeping me safe when I was little. Back then they would get mad if we didn't let them spend the night with families we didn't know. Now, they completely understand. So, yes saying no is hard but necessary.
So awesome!
My daughter just actually told me this as well! She said she thought at the time I was just being protective but she appreciates it now.
My parents when we were growing up would have our friends come to our house mostly instead of us going to their houses. Only if mom knew the family real well could we go to our friends house for a night. I thank them for that.

Old pack and plays can be used as play pens for ducklings and chicks. Save it! I have a pack and play full of chicks on my porch right now. They can also be flipped over to protect chicks getting some outside time from predators when it gets warm outside.
They are also good to keep pets in after surgery. I had an old one we used for several dogs after they were fixed.
YES! Was going to comment the same~ excellent uses for them. They do get messy over time, but they can be hosed down fairly easily. =)

The ducklings go so big from the last video till now! My word! I'm so glad there's been no problems/accidents with Nessa. She's curious but so sweet with them.
So far, so good!
I love how your children love playing outside and riding bikes and the girls playing dress up. That's how I grew up back in the 70s/80s. We were never indoors . When we were teenagers we'd play baseball or kickball in the alley or just hang out on my best friends porch. There were like 10 us we all lived on the same block. I miss those days when things were easier. I love how you've taught your kid's that all that electronic stuff isn't that important. And now that you've got all that property I can only imagine how much fun they're going to have. I hope their friends from the old house will be able to visit them😊❤
Oh G'Ness.... The up-close of Seth, he is just TOO adorable... those eyes!!! ❤
Good morning! I just wanted to say thank you Sarah so much! I learned about freezing bread from you and now I'm learning about baking bread and making butter and cheese! You make me want to be a better homemaker and mom! My son's Seth's age but nonverbal and a lot of the things you've taught me have helped more than you could ever know. My son also loves your videos and he comes running into the room when he hears your opening song! Keep doing what you're doing! I look forward to watching your videos!

Hello all! When you are building your new home, consider radiant floor heating at least in some areas. Our addiction has it for the purpose of heating and it’s so nice to walk in in the winter but BIG Bonus is if I keep my large pails of Coconut oil and Honey on the floor, it’s perfect softness! Also, when germinating trays of seedlings, I can simply line the floor. No more creative lights, heating pads, etc
Our daughter has a gaming system and it's been such a blessing for us. She gets to play with family who we don't always get to see and they have a bond that I think would have been hard to create otherwise. We have a lot of parental blocks on it but it's great to have that connection. It's definitely always a balance
The ducks!!!! One of my favorite family videos of all time is of our kids playing in the sprinkler with my daughter's baby goose! 🥰 They would run through and she followed honking her heart out. Then she would wag her tail and honk waiting for them to take off again. 😂. So cute!!!!
I love your channel so much. Your short with the craft idea and singing is precious! Would love to watch more videos with your children singing. God bless you all
Peace is getting so big, she has always been such a happy baby..I love this family! ❤
Hello from Australia 🇦🇺 I feel like I haven’t seen your vlogs in ages it’s good to catch up again. We are a much smaller channel than you with 11 kids but I still completely understand how what we show on our vlogs can be misunderstood by some viewers. I think you’ve done great with the initiative eating 😊
I follow your channel as well
It's nobodies business what you eat.
Thank you for the last video on electronics. I felt the conviction so strong for so long and the recent shows I caught my kids watching on Netflix (in the kids show settings) made me lay down the hammer. I told my husband if he wants to keep Netflix then he had to put a password on it so that I didn’t have to fight the battle everyday. I’m slowly working on eliminating more streaming apps and praying for warmer weather to come fast.
There is such cuteness all around in your house!!! The kids , the ducks !!! Adorable!!! Thanks for letting us be a part of your blessings!!! 😊😊😊
And you are inspiring me to try to cook bread again !! Thanks!!
It’s a crappe (pronounced croppy)! 😁 I love that you’re not afraid to try new things even if you don’t get it perfect the first time!!
You are ever so gracious in your answers, Sarah and Solo. Well done and such great wisdom and thought provoking content. ❤
I absolutely encourage & fully support your personal ‘rule’ of smaller portions especially at your end of day meal! I’ve lost 60# over 18 months doing just that AND not eating anything 4 hours before bed! If it makes you feel good and you can commit to it, go for it, there will be no stopping you! 👍😀👏
Thanks for the encouragement!!
As a kid before my brother was gifted an attari...as a family we would do board games on the weekend. Also I had a record player and everyone brought out their records and we took turns picking a song to listen to and if someone didn't like a song or group that was picked they couldn't say anything bad or fuss ..that's how I learned a lot of my parents music from the 50s and 60s.
Can’t tell you what a blessing you all are!
I loved my memories of going to Grandmals reaching in the cookie tin for a home made cookie, playing board games or card games, just having family fun, in a loving atmosphere. Let's face it, in my days we were curbing the couch potato habit. I must have grown up in an unhealthy family. (Grandmal had 7 children, 18 Grandchildren, 32 Great Great) The heart of this family was Love! Pure, plain, & simple.
I admire u and Solo soo much..your values,parenting,and every other aspect ..my girls thought I was terrible at times when they couldn’t go somewhere ect..I think we all go through that..I know I did..my mom wouldn’t let me go to the beach one year with so friends.I thought they were so unfair!! On the way to the beach ..my friends loss control of the car and wrapped it around a tree..they all died and the only area that wasn’t demolished and crushed was the seat I would have been in..that hit me soo bad.I never questioned them again when they said no..I know everything any of us parents do is not to b mean,but because we love them and want to protect them….God Bless..have a wonderful EASTER💜🐇🥕🙏
Thank you for sharing this part of your journey. I love the farm and can't wait to see the vision cone to life! Waiting to see what animals you decide on. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Best parents, wonderful family. Oh, by the way, there is no written script on what makes a good, healthy, loving family. You are loved and I admire all of you. 😊
I absolutely adore your family ❤ the values and lifestyle that your living is so inspirational ❤️
I remember as a child , we had a huge chest freezer full of milk cartons with the tops cut off full of water with fish in them. 🤣 I had completely forgotten about that so whoever mentioned that in the comments thanks for bringing up the memory.
That's funny!
My Dad did the same. Fish frozen in water in the freezer. Always tasted wonderful. The ice protected the taste.
DEFINITELY agree about the screen time!! When one of my kids has gotten grounded from electronics or we crack down on the schedule, they are much more pleasant! 😁
You and Solo are great parents and you all do what is best for your family and you! I love watching and seeing how a large family live!
Thank you so much!
The most important thing i learned in school for dietetics was that cravings don't go away but they only take two bites to satisfy. So share a food or desert: everyone wins. Then the body moves on to the next craving. It takes about 20 minuets for the stomack to process the food, so you make sense. Great job; mom also uses this method and it helps loads of people.
Great advice!
Good info.thanks❤️
i love the way that you are raising your children
Hi Sarah! Bought your book, am absolutely loving it!! I've raised 4 children, and have 7 grands and 2 great grands. I'm currently reading this and will totally recommend it to any young parents I know. It's concise, scripture filled, and common sense, a must have for any young family getting started!!
Thanks so much for commenting!! Glad you liked the book and plan to share it with others.
Love reading the comments about warming the honey. Excited to hear what you choose to do with yours!
Sarah, clean and filet the fish before freezing in the water. Thaw and cook, and they are very fresh tasting !! Keep up the good work !!
Exactly, Eli... Why do we put ourselves through all that cleaning!!?
Thank you for sharing your family and life with us. I'm enjoying watching your family growing up and being exceptional people for our beautiful world. You two are doing a fantastic job!
Sarah, if you have favorite utensils, measuring cups etc, that you have to bring back and forth, get yourself a good toolbox. That you can carry. They have several draws. I use a craftsman when I do catering. 😘
Back inthe days we were out side enjoyed games....Active in church..The new children I pray daily and my grands.. Be Blessed family..
Blessed Wednesday. I think you and Solo are awesome parents 😊
Sarah the color of that sweatshirt matched your eyes, so pretty! I love watching your family so much, it is so uplifting!
Sadly there are just too many people with strange ideas who are also more than Happy to Force their ideas on to others. In this case Lucky you & your family. Because they know the right way to do Everything & YOU MUST Listen & Learn. NO & NOPE. Continue to do You because it’s working well. Your children are a Delight. My daughter is teaching her girls Intuitive Eating. Fruit is Always available but not Juice. Lots of water. Sweets & Snack Foods are occasional foods. Plates never need to be cleared BUT if 1/2 or more is left that may impact choices available for M/T, A/T or Supper.
You do a great job with all those kids ,I had 4 and it is sometimes hard !
I love watching your videos. Great parenting! The kids are all so adorable and growing up so fast. Thank you for the wholesome content!
I could see so many possibilities with your new land!! Tree houses, mud kitchens, a zip line, jungle gym…endless possibilities! 😍
Cute duckies! We've been fostering 4 baby bunnies for almost a month now. Lots of work but so cute and so much fun! I think every kid is different with their potential for addiction as well. My youngest can be around electronics or tv and show interest but then move on to something else. My older twins were preemies and I think have some sensory processing/ADHD behaviors. My husband lets them play a little video games and they get sucked right in...have a REALLY hard time turning it off and calming down after. Or if they're ever around tv anywhere, they sit and stare even for commercials. I limit to 1 movie most days depending what we're doing but I'd like to cut back on even that.
I appreciate you guys sharing about electronic devices and kids. I needed to hear this and remind myself the momentary hardship is for the best!
Nessa is such a good girl with them! She so curious and gentle! ❤
Great video!! I agree that every household has to do what’s is best for them. We have gaming systems here and tablets but there are rules that they are only allowed from Friday evenings to Sunday evening after things are done and then there’s a limit of time. That seems to work for us whereas I know other families who allow their children to play with them all the time and I can see the difference in their behavior and other aspects that are completely different than our children. I believe everything in moderation.
Hello, In Franklin TN there is a great organic food markets! It's a great ride from Nashville.
There's Herban Market, Sprouts, and Whole foods. Happy Shopping! Nashville to Franklin is about 30 mins. Franklin is a really cute, cute town! I love it!
Toodles 🌸
Hello Mwanias, Please don’t feel bad about shakey videos. We are subscribers because we love you not necessarily the perfect quality of the videos.😍😍😍😍. You are so inspirational . Love you all❤.
I think you are both wonderful parents.
Good Morning prayers you can move soon to your Beautiful new property 🙏✨🙏
Hello Our Tribe of Many good to see you all. Love watching your videos 👍🦋🌺🌈💖❤️😊😘🙏🏻From Edith in cairns Queensland Australia 🇦🇺
I love how you just go with the flow and make things work. Having a huge tribe of many you just seem to roll with the punches.
Don't worry what people think
Kids🎉are growing up so🎉fast.my grandchildren are biracial too
😅ilove your🎉videos.
Good morning , so happy to see you this morning when I woke up ❤ the farm life is so great , a little crowded but comfy . It's so good you keep the internet with the kids down to the bare minimum it's so bad as we experienced with our grandkids ‼️ yikes enough said ‼️🙏🏾 You and Solo provide a solid front in raising the kids,so important 😊🙏🏾🙏🏾👍💝🌅
It must be hard being in the public eye, opening the community up to tell you how best to parent and live etc. It takes skill and strength not to allow all the opinions get to you ❤ I’m sure.
It’s funny that people think they actually get to have an opinion on someone’s else’s children. 😂
Here in Texas we say crop ee for the crappie fish. My favorite fish. Nothing better than fresh, warm bread. Too much sugar daily is not a good thing. Hello Solo. My budget for food (1person) has doubled. You two are great parents. This is reflected in each of your children. Children thrive on a disciplined life. Reading books is so much more enjoyable than TV. My few RUclips families give me great joy. Take care❤
Your children are thriving you have love respect kindness laughter in your home. Sending you a KINDNESS hug 🤗❤️
I can’t get over how sweet the dog is being ,to the baby ducks .Sweet doggie .
Thanks for encouraging us you guys ❤
I have 3 small kids... a year ago we watched cartoons 4 - 6 days a week... our eyes were opened to effects of tech addiction in young kids and now our watching habits are basically inverted where the kids watch a movie/short show 1 to 3 times a week. Someone advised me not to use it as a crutch but I was at the time and I'm so glad we caught it early. My kids play better now, they're better at entertaining themselves, and I think they are generally happier. They don't even ask to watch very often. I think it's harder as the parent to break the habit of letting them watch often. I used to default to the TV when things got hairy but not it's not even an immediate thought, just gotta ride out the chaos sometimes. Definitely recommend limiting TV, your kids will create memories coming up with imaginative things to do, they won't grow up and say "Remember all those awesome shows we got to watch when we were young?!"
How wonderful that these comments are from self stated experts available on RUclips videos to give criticism when they probably have such perfect lives and have no issues. Sarah, I never was as beautiful as you after one child let alone 11. Your beautiful as you are and your family is amazing.
Sometimes thirst feels like hunger. Drinking a glass of water before snacking could be just what we need.
First, let me say that I love your videos. You inspire and motivate me as a mother/wife. Juggling a full house of children is not easy. Thank you again for your videos. Now, as the fish, that is a crappie. Me personally crappie is a really good fish to eat. I usually bleed mine out from the gills to die faster. Yes you can freeze the fish in water to last longer for a year and more. If I cook the fish within a couple of months I clean it and vacuum seal it.
I need to learn to start making home made bread. Much love from Texas.
Good morning 🌄 beautiful family hope everything is well 💕🌻 the kids are so adorable 💞 it's good seeing you guys again 💕 love the vlog
I ALWAYS love your channel. The children, Nessa and now the ducks... AMAZING. Moving to the farm is heaven sent.. I'm in awe of your family....your Babies can safely play in an open space. No cars, no guns, no danger. AMEN. Thank you for the tip of waiting 20 minutes after a meal, that goes in effect TODAY. May the Lord Jesus Christ continue to bountifully bless "The Tribe Of Many❤
I love watching your videos and your family! You should look into the Bosch kitchen machine for making bread. You can easily make 6 loaves at a time with minimal work involved. It would save you a lot of time. Also my son in law is a beekeeper and he tells everyone to leave the honey pail under the sink because it’s the warmest cabinet.
Thank you both so much. I’m learning so much from you. ♥️🙏
I appreciate that.
If you are very hungry before dinner (or any meal) try a large spoon full of peanut butter (for children a smaller spoonfull) for that meal. The peanut butter will stop the hunger. The peanut butter will fill you up for the time being. No crackers, just the spoon full of peanut butter. It has worked for me anyway for years. I am an RN and I always had peanut butter in my office or my car (depending on the job I had, sometimes I was a home care nurse). I often ran out of time to eat at meal times while working and would get headaches or just be starving and hard to concentrate on work but had to continue to work anyway and found this a life saver and so easy to manage!
Yes! I do this. I will often put a bit of raw honeycomb on top 😊
@@WS-by5cl Oh that sounds even better
Sarah for the honey bucket you can use a Bee blanket that is electric and will slowly heat up the honey and get it running again. My husband keeps bees and we do that when our honey gets hard. ❤
I have to say this Sarah I think your raising a beautiful family and you and Solo have taught them well. As for your food choices it’s no one’s business, if the Karen’s don’t like it they need to move on. The hours you spend making and then editing these videos you don’t deserve any Karen remarks. I have gleaned from you and your family! Have a great week and thank you for taking us along on your journey🤗
Hi all good morning happy Wednesday morning and I hope you having amazing day today and I loved your vlogs and you all amazing Supporter
I agree 👍💯
Wrap a heated blanket around the honey
I imagine the Mwania house keeps the tooth fairy very busy.❤🦷🧚
I love the variety of all the content. Can’t wait till you guys have moved in to your new place. So exciting!🎉. You guys are in my prayers always ! 🙏🏻✝️
As much as those kids love that swimming pool, I can't imagine how they love this new place with no pool even more.........can they swim in the lake? (when it's warmer of course) I think it's so great that they will have so much land to roam and grow up on!
So excited for this next venture for you. I will love to watch it
Fruit is the most important foods we can eat! Kids need the natural glucose. I like that you have fruits in your table 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
When my kids were growing up I refused to buy any hand held games or Xbox type of games for them... I got them board games for them to play I grew up w/o them I turned out ok lol my kids were made to go out and play & I didn't have any computer either or cable...my kids are grown now and they have jobs
On Saturdays we would play alot of boards game me and my kid . But it was winter most of the time in Canada . So going outside was not always a option. I think kids should play and not be on w computer all day .
Hello from East Tx, where we fish a lot. You tube how to clean a crappie, or a sun perch. You skin or scale them, then cut the heads up. My hubby uses a very sharp fillet, knife or an electric knife
