Farm/Ranch/Homestead May 2024

I thought the SAME thing. That looks like pink eye, not an allergy that he is claiming. Probably got some cow poop in it with how careless he is

There was a study done - I wish I could find it - that said when homeschooling moms are on their periods they tend to want to be done with homeschooling and send their kids back to public school. Which was interesting.  I homeschool my kids but it is an immense privilege to be able to do so. Something rarely talked about.  Every year at the end of school I give my kids the choice to say or go back to public school - in my opinion it should never be forced. We are also secular homeschoolers so that makes a difference too.   Each has a place. Her thing annoyed me too. 

Does anyone know the purpose of the red lenses? Is it a fashion statement 😬 or is it for health reasons?!?

She looks utterly miserable here.

What was it? It’s gone now.

I got mastitis 2 weeks after my birth but thought it was food poisoning bc the symptoms seemed to match and **both my husband and I's mothers have passed so no instinct to reach out and question otherwise and i was OUT for the count for like a day and a half at least, and that was even with realizing what was happening to my body. And to think she knowingly has it, and has other children that need to be taken care of and is just nonchalant about trying to heal the "natural way" is super negligent.

No new mom should take any advice or follow in BF footsteps with anything ever!

We have one of those flour drawers in our 1930's house. I keep kitchen towels in it. Becuase, no.

I’ve seen her do that. It’s cringy.

It could be colds but it also could be allergies or asthma. Both of those can cause chronic coughing and with a ton of kids it isn’t unlikely to have a few always coughing.

Sadly pretty common for young kids to have a long run; often months; of mild sickness until their immune system develops. Really common in kids that attend daycare and large families as viruses are so contagious and difficult to stop the spread in that age group even with rigorous hygiene practices. 

They don't enforce any hygiene practices like washing hands, covering your mouth, etc. They imply their style of living gives them some sort of super immunity, which is clearly not true lol.

Basically. I worked with a lady who called out regularly because they had 6 kids and by the time a sickness had made its way through the family it would be mutated just enough that the original carrier's weakened immune system would flare again. The summer months weren't as bad.

They were talking about cloud seeding, which is real and does introduce chemicals into the air: https://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/hrd_sub/cseed.html (though if a forest fire breaks out, they are going to be dealing with chemicals and a lot more). They also stressed that they weren’t talking about chemtrails, which are absolutely bullshit. Surprised I’m defending the strange-o twins, but there you have it. I’m also not entirely sure that those clouds were indeed cloud seeding, but it is something that the legislature in the state of Washington has approved: https://app.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=70A.10.190

This is exactly it.

Her delusion knows no bounds! Did you catch her talking about her phone call with the COO of Keeper? She is really going to pretend the only thing that’s holding her back from thr world’s most rich, handsome, tall man is having kids? Mm hmm

Also, flexing about raw cheese mere seconds before she bakes the shit out of it

She’s lying.

grifter

Yeah not with her follower count, no way.

She’s absolutely full of shit.

I can’t speak for everyone in the US, but…I think she’s full of shit.

She’s a Value Woman or whatever the f she’s on about and saying she wants a tall man but doesn’t mention sense of humor or kindness or anything like that. Sounds like she just wants a man to call in that spirit baby that’s floating around her and nothing else.

Has she ever considered a more flattering haircut?

Oh the COO of matchmaker reached out to her to chat. i wish I couldve heard that convo ! Sounds like they told her no one really wants her and all her baggage

Hahaha, just took the same screenshot. I loved that she called out the matchmaker who is probably just leaving her on read. 😂

Imagine all the money she’s wasted on these things. She is truly terrible with money.

This kids biography be misspelled but absolutely fire.

Translation: this child can’t fucking read. “Following along” with audiobooks isn’t reading. And a ten year-olds brain is no longer primed for learning the skills that comprise fluent reading. Would not be at all surprised if this child becomes a functionally illiterate adult. This is beyond tragic.

I agree with all the comments about reading being such a gift and really the way I got through a lot as a child. We didn’t have much growing up but I had my books. My librarian was a dear mentor in my life. I could go on. I’d love to hear her explain specifically what’s more rewarding about her teaching herself and missing years of reading.

Ugh these poor poor girls 😭😭😭 This woman is home all day right?? Doesn't she have time to sit with them and teach them to read?  Like wtf? How negligent and lazy. And the poor kids suffer 😢 

I homeschooled my kids for several years and you can literally teach them to read in as little as 10 minutes a day. It doesn’t have to be a big extensive thing but you DO actually have to teach them. Some kids do have a natural inclination toward math or reading but they still need guidance. 🤦🏻‍♀️

And don’t they do a lot of online school? I’m homeschooling and my six year old isn’t a strong enough reader yet to take online courses without me sitting with her. She is really doing it wrong

This makes me incredibly sad. Reading was my only escape when I was a kid. I read A Wrinkle in Time when I was 9 and it was life changing. Reading has always been a source of deep comfort.

Exactly. By not teaching this skill she’s making it actively harder on her child. “They will figure it out” with apps. Public Schools have kids rejoining after prolonged periods of homeschooling where the parent wasn’t capable and they are extremely behind. Not only that, but learning disabilities and neurodivergence can be missed or ignored—where early intervention could really help. She’s completely educationally neglecting them.

Yes, let's make their learning an essential skill really hard by giving them no tools or guidance! What a shit mom

Her unschooling is lazy af.

Though it was pretty funny when she said zero scamminess full transparency here because, you know, most non-scammy businesses don’t have to say zero scamminess when pitching their businesses.

And what was she even saying!? She has to move the business in a more sustainable direction? She has so many business issues for someone who claims to be a business genius.

She can spin it all she wants. She left the dance world, which by her account was her whole identity,  and a few years later got married. After having her first kid(s), motherhood became her whole identity. I'm not knocking motherhood. (I'm a mother too.) However, saying you're addicted to mothering as many kids as possible is pretty wild. She twists it into a Jesus thing but IMO it's just about her own identity and she can't deal with an end to creating new children to mother. Isn't that a different way of saying she's a bit addicted to pregnancy and babies? She never mentions adoption or fostering kids that would greatly benefit from loving,  engaged parents like her and Adam. It's all about creating (aka having babies) new children to mother. I could go on and on about giving each kid individual attention, or the fact that Adam will already be well into his mid 60's when the current youngest turns 18... just supporting and raising kids at an advanced age can be tricky...they have some generational wealth coming their way eventually but you can't/shouldn't count on that. OK, time to get off my soapbox! 😆 🤣 

What is going on with her foundation? Is she putting it on her lips? The bangs look freshly shorn. She’s terrifying.

I can’t find her?!?

Sorry, just made a comment before seeing yours 😅 I do and didn't even know it! A saw her crying video yesterday and the gofundme today. I have no words

I just went back and watched the video and this is up there as one of the more stupid and dangerous things I’ve seen them do. Trying to milk a kicking cow isn’t something children should be doing, it’s incredibly dangerous and you are setting up the cow for infection/mastitis since they can’t milk her out fully or even at all. Honestly I’m shocked the kids are even willing to try, my kids would be terrified and say no way, I’m not doing this, because they know how dangerous it is. Plus they know we, as their parents will step in and help them. Obviously these kids know they are on their own and no one is coming to help them.

Because that would make actual sense.

I noticed no grain bucket for 2 stories about her now. I mean it's used as an incentive/reward right?

Also, any chance she has an infection so it hurts to be milked?

Because a kid holding a snow shovel to block her kicks is so much more effective?! 😫

* * Is it any wonder how parasocial relationships with influencers fester? How about a totally unqualified stranger who wants you to PAY THEM for an online course you may be taking to help you leave 'an unhealthy marriage' claims: "I love you and we'll get through this together." Criminal. *Edited to add screenshot...er maybe not. Sorry I don't know how to make it work.

It really bums me out that she posts stuff like this. Having (apparently high) alimony and growing up with privilege is a big part of it. She really thinks she willed all this into being and that people envy her life. She never seems to be actually enjoying this dream life.

She really thinks she is special. I wonder where that confidence came for such a mediocre woman.

My partner is type 1 diabetic and cannot roll his eyes hard enough. She really has zero clue what she’s talking about. She has normal blood sugar and fluctuations are normal—her pancreas works.

She’s claiming she’s “fat adapted” but the meals she posted have way too many carbs for keto. and if she was actually fat adapted, she’d be losing weight. I just don’t understand why she lies about the dumbest stuff

with like a very small range! If you don't feel it, it's not this huge destruction she's making it out to be.

House elf 😭 Does anybody know what happened growing up that she always vaguely references but never actually details?

I’m your man!! I’ve been sooo fascinated by Dezeray for soooo long omg. She’s got a very interesting story, in that she comes from a troubled family and traumatic childhood and then found God in her late teens and it ‘saved’ her life. I think there’s a lot of genuine pain and trauma she’s overcome. But gosh she’s nuts lol.

Yes. I marvel at how many followers she has.

This is my biggest issue, and maybe I can be convinced to think differently. But it drives me nuts when someone so anti-government, anti-business, anti-anything-remotely-mainstream... uses Instagram to share their lives. How on earth are you comfortable with integrating Meta into your family's day-to-day when you are so virulently driven by conspiracy theories and a Big Brother mindset? It's true cognitive dissonance and it reeks of hypocrisy.

And her health advice…. Liver pills, colastrum…

She has popped on a few times to talk about how busy things have been now that her kids are older (at least one is high school aged?) and are in extracurricular activities and have jobs, dual enrolled in college, normal everday stuff and toddlers to chase.  I think covid times was a slower season for her and now she is pretty busy.  I dont know how she posts/films does any social media with 8 kids.  I have 6 and can barely get a bathroom break in.  🤪

Probably pregnant and has morning sickness. /s (maybe)

She’s cut back on IG a lot. She mentioned starting a blog or website a little while ago but I haven’t seen anything yet. 

I can’t even with him…

the beaver the better 😆😆

I was so surprised to see that! I had seen pictures of the outside of the van, and just assumed it was set up for camping inside.

So she has room for her future spirit babies of course! 🤷🏼‍♀️

They look like they’re in a small school bus 😂 it’s so ridiculous. No clue why she needs that because besides going to her moms on a rare occasion and her precious Lyme doctor, she seems to barely leave the house!

I have 4, soon to be 5 kids and have an expedition and it’s plenty of room! She’s just excessive

That's a good question. I have four kids myself and want a large van so my kids could each bring a friend, also we go camping a lot and the minivan maxes out with all the stuff we bring or any road trip we go on. She won't let her kids be around other children and doesn't seem to leave her house other than go to her parents, so there's no need for her to have such a large van.

I think they probably have a low tolerance for frustration. She also started muting them in her story vids—which my guess is because they really seem to need speech services. Early intervention is so important but I think she’s happy to keep them as baby like as possible.
