Bake, Garden, & Preserve Food with Me!

My 13-year-old son wasn't sure what to get me for my birthday in March he offered to treat me to something at the garden store. He spent $7 on a package of onions bulbs, and we grew so many onions. I love seeing your videos Jessica of your beautiful family. I also now don't feel so bad about letting my garden look messy, you are right. It doesn't have to be beautiful.

I personally prefer the voice over format however your little garden chat after harvesting the vegetables with your little boy was the sweetest thing ever. His toothless smile just melted my heart. Glad you gave yourself grace about the weeds. I think God gives us weeds for many reasons. They help me keep humble. And I always have enough from my large garden so the weeds may live in harmony.

A friend of mine who is a deaconess gave me a fridge magnet one time. It said WE PLAN - GOD LAUGHS. Enjoy all your videos

I love all your video recording styles. I have no understanding why people say they don't like Iike voice overs. You are really good at voice overs. Some are not, but it does not stop me from watching.😊😊Thanks for sharing your family with us.❤😊

It just makes it more real with all the kids in the background. I never have a problem with all the noise. It's real life. I have four children, 16 grandkids, and 2 great grandkids. I love it all. Do videos how you want to do them and how long you want them. I enjoy watching your videos

Hannah is adorable. So funny Hannah looking at herself in the camera.I love watching you and your beautiful family. 🤍🤍

I completely understand that just because you can't keep the weeds controlled, doesn't make the garden a failure. We got so much rain and the weeds took over my garden. Then while weeding I injured my wrist, so no more weeding, while it heals. But much garden still blesses us with food. This week green beans, wax beans, and 2 zucchini. 😊

Please do what is easier and enjoyable for you - vlog or voice over. I’ll be here watching on Sunday morning, either way! May blessings be honored to you and your family this week.

Don't worry about what people like or don't like about your videos. You are a busy mom, ! You do you! I definitely could not hold up to your pace of life! God bless you!❤

Jessica your videos will never be to long❤hope you are feeling well❤

You asked for us to comment on format. I love watching your videos. It is something I look forward to every week. There are only three people that I follow every week and you are one of them. 🎉I follow you because I enjoy the content of your videos and they feel like a visit with you and your family. Your videos are truly a blessing to me. The format doesn't matter to me.

I love the voiceover/compilation videos, but I enjoy a vlog type every once in a while too. I am just in awe of all that you do.

I’m sitting here on the couch sipping coffee, watching you work, and telling myself “I need to pause this and go put in a load of clothes.” (I did) and “I need to stop and go let the chickens out”.(I did).. … LOL. Thank you for prodding me to get MY chores done! I don’t mind direct vlogging or voiceovers. A combination is fine. We are just joining YOUR day, so whatever works for you is fine. People who criticize should remember that. Don’t apologize for distracting noises or messy gardens.. we ALL have noise distractions in our lives, and NO ONE has a perfectly neat and orderly garden, if they say they do, they are either fibbing, or have no other life BUT the garden.. LOL. You have a large family with a lot on your plate and the fact that you manage to do what you do is an accomplishment in itself.

Whatever way you do your videos is great for me!!!

Look forward to seeing you with my Sunday morning coffee. Such a joy. Thank you for using the term ‘in this season of life’. I’m 74 and feel I’m not doing enough, and you gently remind me it’s ok. Hugs from MD! 🙏🏻💕

I'm listening to you but watching Hannah is a delightful way to start the day.💖

Loved the DItL, but compilations are great, too. I loved your conversation with your son about how God can work with our mess and the good that can come from it. Our church is actually using What A Mess VBS this summer, and as I've been preparing for the daily lessons, I find it very reassuring that God loves us even when we're messy. Nothing is impossible with God and boy, am I thankful for that promise. Anyway, thanks for sharing a snippet of your life.

I found that as my 2 kids became teenagers they needed almost more attention and help then when they were little. I was so thrilled when each got their drivers license. Took a lot of pressure off. I only had 2 kids 5 yrs apart so I can only imagine what your life is going to be like as they get older.

I prefer whatever is easiest for you! You are a very special woman! The fact that you can even fit in video and editing at all is amazing! Prayers for your health and strength and that you will know Gods presence and love each new day!

Hi from Australia! Love all your videos... Do whatever works for you honestly. You are never going to please everyone ❤️
