Wow, good job! It's a lot of work prepping ahead, but it helps so much to enjoy vacation more!

@emilypanko2434 Hello! Thanks for your message! I miss making vids for RUclips! My mom keeps telling me to make a video, at least per season. Maybe I'll try, but yes, it seemed like a lot at times! I've even had another baby since I need to introduce! :) We are still using Abeka for the most part. I love supplementing with some Good and the Beautiful. And recently I found the Story of the World history books at Goodwill for cheap, so we have sitting on the porch reading those lately and the kids are really enjoying them!

Congratulations! I'm due in October with our 6th baby! Thank you for the message..I've started ordering some books for when we start back up in August..I love some of The Good and The Beautiful too! I've wondered about The Story of The World..good find! Enjoy your summer!

@@emilypanko2434 Hope the rest of your pregnancy goes well!!💕

hey neighbor! 👋🏻

@Doug's Wife do you order Azure still? We are contemplating ordering some bulk items and weren't sure if it was really worth the hype 🤔

@@BakingwithBecca10 Yes, I do! Not every month but close.This month I got cheese, ranch seasoning mix, 15lbs of salt, healthy BBQ sauce, molasses, and beef gelatin (because my daughter loves making homemade jello with juice! lol) It's free to sign up and you can place orders whenever- so they make it super easy! Find a drop spot near ya...maybe I'll see ya there! lol

Haha! I agree! If we didn't have so many small kids we would be roughing it more and hiking in places, but...someday. You did click on this video even tho you saw the picture of our camper there. ;)

Thank you!!

O

He actually took lessons from a friend of ours but is not taking them currently. So we are trying to find something else right now too. :) ---- We are well! It's greening up here too but the chilly is hanging on a bit. We've had some warm days, but it likes to return to the upper 60's too often. lol This is the first year the girls are planting the garden on their own!....as I am 37 weeks pregnant and can't bend over very easily! LOL We are all excited about the new one coming! I had only known for a week when I put my last video out. I wish I had more time for RUclips!

@@dougzwife Ha! Well, if I find something online, I'll let you know ;) CONGRATULATIONS!!! EEEEEEEEE!!! So excited for you all :D I am 30 weeks myself and can't bend over either, haha! I won't outwardly ask if you know if it's a boy or girl ;) but I cannot wait if you choose to do an update video!!! :D Praying for you and baby for a safe and lovely delivery <3 I know about the time. I keep getting nudges to do a business but, there is no time. I can barely keep up here, especially in the third trimester. Much love to you all from the Garcia family in MN <3

@@n.a.garciafamily That's so awesome! Congrats to you! We are only 7 weeks apart! I don't mind sharing that we are expecting another little girl!! That would be the 7th in a row! LOL At least the midwife is 80% sure it is...lol she is sometimes wrong. LOL I will probably do a video sometime this summer, Day in the Life or something similar. :) I am making another pregnancy progression too.

@@dougzwife ohhhhhhh! That is so very exciting ☺️ With such a sweet momma, I understand why God would bless you with so many girls! Still have you (all) in our prayers! Hugs!

Thank you for the kind comments! I do hope to make more videos!! I have my hands full homeschooling and currently pregnant with #8! 💕

@@dougzwife yep, your hands are full......God is your strength...love in Christ Sherril...

I will use them up within the first year I think, but they can stay good for several years.

The grocery store that has the best deal on coloring books is Forks Grocery Store. There is one in Shipshe, but we go to the one in Middlebury (because we like the park across the street.) It's only a 5 minute drive from Shipshewana probably. You can also get coloring books at Country Road and E&S used to but I haven't seen them there recently. Yoder's Department Store too, but everything is more pricy there. I love Yoder's but we started going there last because sometimes I see the same thing at other stores for $5+ less.

Aw, yes, I can have days like that also! Glad this video is encouraging to you!

I found a roll on Amazon, but I can't link it anymore, it's currently unavailable. Hope you can look around and find something similar.

They come in a pack found here: amzn.to/3nz4SxS

Thank you!

Yes, you are correct.... they LOVE to help with most everything and anything ( except dishes and cleaning their room! 😉🙃😊) I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! More videos to come yes, just not as fast as we all would like 😊😊

I got one last year, and another this year. So yes, fairly new. I just clean them out with a little soap and water. My sink is big enough to set them in. I do like to put a splash of vinegar in the water I use to can them with. That helps with the mineral build-up you can get from the water. 😊

My kids eyes are trained now, they know when we go anywhere, to pick one without a dye! Lol. It's cute to hear them converse about it. Occasionally it can't be avoided, but we try hard!

20 plus another 20lbs is a lot for one lady! 😊 Good work! I'll have to try potatoes sometime too!

@@dougzwife I used the yellow gold potatoes from Azure and didn't peel or precook them...cold pack. I made potato salad the other day with a jar and not mushy at all. I'm enjoying your channel.

@@TXDHC Thanks! :) Good to know!

Yes, that very evening the rain turned to snow. 😊 And we have had snow on and off since.

I've never heard that before.... good to know powder will be easier on it.

😊👋💕

Thank you! It's my daughter's room. 😊

Aw, thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! The canners I have are from All American. And I bought the first one from Lehman's online. Then this year I got the bigger one, and I wanted to buy it from Lehman's again instead of supporting Amazon, but they didn't have any in stock... and it was going to be an extra $80 for shipping! So I did, instead I bought that one from Amazon. It has been such a huge blessing to get my canning done quickly!

Aw, I'm glad! Sorry to hear about your struggles! I hear about it some. 😕 I'll keep you in my prayers Tegan!

@@dougzwife thank you x

Hello from Texas Tegan, my daughter in Love and I have been praying so hard for all of you! May God lift you up from all this mess and give you mercy and hope.

@@melodysfiresidefarm thank you so much ❤️ that is so kind of you! I wasn’t raised religious but I have found so much comfort in believing in god, speaking to him and him giving my husband and I feelings of hope. It’s been lovely xx

That is great! So good to fill the freezer! We ended up with more venison than ever here this year. My oldest daughter got her first deer on youth hunt day. And then on opening day, my husband and son each got 2 deer! It was amazing, they've never gotten so many! Thankfully my parents happily took one from us, because it was too much too process! I canned three batches and we ground and froze the rest! Such a blessing! I should of made a video about that! lol ....and yes, we had a wonderful Thankgiving, thanks! I hope you did as well!

Yes, those canners have come in handy, that's for sure. I have canned all my life, but with these pressure canners, it's a whole new world! 🤣I love them! So great Azure is close to you!

Oh bummer... I would suggest that you definitely let them know that you are interested in ordering. Contact them and tell them where you live....you never know there might be a new drop location already in the works for your area. If there is enough interest you may be able to start a new route. Hopefully they can help! My share code is: JocelynY1

@@dougzwife Thank you so much! I will definitely contact them.

If they do not have a line going out to your area (state), you may be out of luck. But I agree that you should definitely let them know you have an interest. If they do have a line coming out to your area and you just don’t have any drop coordinators, you could become one yourself. It’s a commitment and work for sure, but that would be a way to do it. I live in NH and waited well over a decade for them to bring the Wren line out here. I have a drop about 55 minutes from me, which is great, but at some point in the future I am highly considering setting a drop in my area and running it. If I remember right, I think there has to be a minimum of a $500 order for them to do a drop ship. The customer needs to spend at least $50 to partake in the order. The drop can be public or privately set. Best of luck to you! I just picked up my second order the other day and let me tell you, I am just in my happy place with my home grocery store. I absolutely love them. I won’t be able to partake in all of their produce, but I’m happy to be able to get what I can and support a wonderful small family owned business with high standards. Hope you get a line/drop out in your neck of the woods soon.

I have actually gotten some comments from a few of them. lol

Glad you enjoyed it! Wow, Germany. That is really neat. Will you ever get to move home again?

@@dougzwife Yes, we will move back to the states in about a year. My husband is military so we will spend 4 years here and then on to our next adventure.

@@brookekernan4399 Nice! An adventure indeed! My dad was National Guard when I was growing up, so we didn't move around of course...but he traveled to Germany and Panama for training. He brought me home all sorts of treasures! lol

Thanks Abby! We did not can the rest yet, but I planned to this week. And I want to save a few bags just for munching on since they are so sweet.😋 Thanks for the comment!😉

Thank you!

Wow, I'm surprised you don't have snow yet over there. It seems to be coming early to most. It is snowing here right now actually, and I am about to go start up the grill for supper. I was thinking maybe I should not have planned to make supper outside tonight! Brr! But I do love it, and I hope you get some of it soon! Thanks for your sweet comment!💕

Thank you!💕

They are delicious! And we still have some after a couple months. They last a long time!
