Life Skills Learning in Summer | Homeschooling on the Homestead 

Appreciated watching this video as usual, thank you!

We live a very similar life. It has been such a blessing for our family.

You and your family are so inspiring ❤

Fantastic tips! Thank you.

This is a life I would love to give my kids, though it also overwhelms me because it's so very different from our life now. But I remember in the only other video of yours that I've watched that you said you started with one vegetable one year and added to it. That's more doable.

This is such a beautiful lifestyle. That strawberry jam looks so yummy. It was so cute when you were holding Benjamin and he was grabbing the strawberries from the big bowl.

As a younger homeschool mom i have gleaned a lot of wisdom from you! Thank you for sharing! I believe the strawberry jam link is incorrect.

I really appreciate your content and we’ve been working at incorporating a lot of what you share into our life also. It like a compact farm which is great and very realistic. We have just under 4 acres also and are working on the first parts of setting up some fences for the animals 😅 we have had chickens and ducks for a few years but have yet to get any butchered. Does your family own all of the equipment it takes to do home butchering? Do you feel the animals you have supply enough manure for your size of garden? We live in a low land area and I think our soil is pretty clayish so im thinking we will have to bring in a decent amount of compost/manure to really make a go of the garden bc it didn’t produce like I had hoped the last couple years. Thank you for the jam recipe :) For a momma of ten you like like your in very good physical shape. Do you have any special athletics/exercising time dedicated during your day? I’m a momma of seven so far and have nursed all of mine, but my core muscles have been lacking quite a bit and I think it’s bc I haven’t always known how to use them properly. I don’t feel like I sit around that much but I wondering if I need to dedicate specific time for building up muscle especially core strength and I’ve been trying to figure out how to fit that in my busy days bc my health is very important. I feel we eat decently healthy (always working on improving/ making time to cook well with a lot of little children(my oldest is 12 and my first 4 are boys who aren’t super interested in cooking 😅 but they’ve helped non the less) we do have a grain mill which I noticed you have but I don’t have it out all the time bc our kitchen is smallish, so it just feels like extra work to get it out, but it’s a good way to spend time to be healthy and I’m working on prioritizing that. I’ve always enjoyed sports or doing something active, but find I’ve been getting worn out quickly and want to build that up but It’s difficult with a lot of little children who need a lot of intentional one on one time that is pretty slow paced 😓 I wish I would have learned earlier so I would t feel so behind and discouraged about my health, it just feels like mountain to try to climb. God is faithful and I’m trusting Him to help me understand how to incorporate these things He is bringing to light. Thanks for reading ^^^ 😂 Grace-Mercy-Strength

Does it save to raise pigs. Does it cause a lot to process? Thanks
