    I wish you all the best with new baby! Praying for you!! A lot of people don't come in to support mom anymore. They come only wanting to hold the baby and not being willing to help with the household, they expect mom to still do those things while they hold the baby.

    Low baby coming ….one of the worst is The shaming and degrading of women who want to stay home and raise their baby..Why have a baby if you must be back in the outside work force almost right away and baby goes into daycare. I remember with 5 little ones under 7 years and being asked about the work you do ( eg office , etc. out in the Work force ) I told them I am stay home mom and homemaker, the response was , No, I mean what kind of REAL work do you do.. This made me furious.. Now will all the men and women who had the covid 19 shots there will be less babies due to the damage being done to our reproductive organs.

    Don’t forget to use a sprinkling of ash in your coop and a box or tire full in the yard for them to dust bathe. Yes we have to first of all give things over to the Lord in prayer and trust in Him. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🤗 God mom, baby, dad and all your wonderful family. Thank you so much for sharing new life with us.

    We would have to go to a different way of scalding our chickens for plucking. We hold the feet to douse the birds. We pluck by hand, so not sure I want to lose the hand hold of those feet.

    When I was pregnant with my fourth child, my mother-in-law asked if I was going to take care of things so we were done. She wasn't very happy when we had our third and she didn't even know about the child we miscarried. She was one of seven children, but all of that family only had two kids each and expected everyone to stop there.

    For those families who can afford to have a homestead, homeschool their children, grow 90% of their own food and keep their families safe from the dangers that actually exist because some elected people would rather protect guns instead of children, I can see how having more children would be a good thing. But the environment is dying in many places, none of the gods are protecting children from starvation, mass shooters and illness, so the majority of people who are opting not to have children are doing it because they don't want their children to be a statistic. It doesn't matter how much faith a person has. The reality is there's no evidence that a caring god exists. I guess it's really a luxury to be able to live in an environment where you don't have to deal with reality as much as some of us do. All the best to you and your family while many of us are struggling to survive.

    I just adore you guys! It’s soooo comforting and encouraging listening to like minded people. Watching what is happening to our country & world has been incredibly isolating & upsetting. We too have made a shift…less news, more faith & family focus…actively working towards more self sufficiency each day. Just read that you had a baby boy! 💙 So happy for y’all & know you must be thoroughly enjoying that planned downtime to heal and bond Carolyn! What an awesome thing to do!! Thank you & Josh both for your teachings, inspiration and positivity! May God continue to bless you, your beautiful family & your homestead.

    A large part of prepping for recovery is "giving yourself" grace! When you are blessed to do so much all day, every day it can be exceedingly difficult to sit and "do nothing" (see also: bond, heal, rest, produce milk, care for a brand new tiny human, etc.). There is much mental preparation when it comes to "Sit! Stay!". Congratulations to the lot of you for the arrival of this perfectly perfect little person! May God shine upon you:)

    I became Christian in my 30s. Met my husband late, had babies late, but was so blessed with 5x wonderful children we don't deserve, all through our 30s. So many people, including many in our church think it is a problem because we won't be able to give them all the "expensive stuff" or fund university. Which we would only encourage if they were on a clear path for it (doctor, lawyer etc). We get by, we are blessed!
