With 4 kids and a homestead and no family nearby, we have to be flexible as a family and that includes holidays. We didn't do the traditional Mother's Day breakfast or brunch. We haven't done that in years, but we find our own ways to make the day special and meaningful.

I chose @Crowbarmama as a handle because I believe in doing the best you can with what you have on hand. The crowbar is a multi-purpose tool. You’ll notice my photography is a bit rough, my grammar is not the most polished, but as a homeschooling, homesteading mama of 4, if I waited to take my photos until the light was perfect or re-edited my posts a 5th time ( I shoot for 3 drafts), I would never get a post out!
Don’t sweat the small stuff, just Crowbar it!

Wonderful video of a wonderful mama :) I like the way you celebrate your mother's Day and of course the expectations-lesson ! I hope everyday has this fun for you :)
Thank you @tibfox! So glad you stopped by. I am still ever-so-grateful for your info about the editing app. I have since been doing a mixture, some vid's edited on the phone, and others still on the computer, but I'm gaining skill and confidence, largely thanks to you!
I am really happy that I could help you and I am super excited what will come in the future from you ! Keep going your good work mama ! Thanks
ok finished the video haha
very productive and still have me time!!! thanks for the inspiration and encouragement!
Love that family shot!
Haha! Yes, those family shots are few and far between with 4 kids! Lol! So glad to offer anything positive! Blessings to you!
Wow!!! Check out the payout on this puppy!!! Amazing! I'm glad you had a good mother's day! Mine was pretty relaxed too. Love that it took 40 pics to get one good one. My husband isn't that patient. Ha!
I know, right? Just a lucky day, but I'll gladly take it! Relaxed days are nice, aren't they?
Btw, my husband isn't that patient either, but my phone has the burst option, where you just hold down the button, so perhaps that was sort of cheating to actually call it 40? Lol!
Awwww I really enjoyed this video! Thank you for sharing some of your Mother’s Day with us. You have such a sweet and beautiful family! Congrats on the DTube upvote!! Yay!!
What editing app do you use?
Thank you so much @crosheille! Just trying to keep it real, right?
I've been using Resolve on the laptop and PowerDirector on mu Android phone.
You’re very welcome! Thanks for the info. I just found a couple that I like to use for my iPhone. I still have a lot of learning to do but I’m having fun trying this vlogging thing out. Keep up the great work! 😘
Nice to see you crowbarmama - I hadn't watched your videos before - sorry about that! You have a beautiful family.
@camuel, nothing to be sorry about! It's a big place, lots to see! And you're here now, so it's all good! Lol! Thank you. I'm pretty fond of them all. 😁
Happy Mother's Day, and to take care of a home and four children, all time is busy, I congratulate you for taking some time and posting.
You were very pretty in the photo
Thank you for your kind words! Yes,we are very busy, but we are also a house full of love, so it is a good balance! Thanks again!
I really need to do more of these exercises! I keep forgetting, motherhood and steemit haha getting in the way
Motherhood and Steemit! 🤣 Yes! Finding that balance is a challenge, isn't it? But I am loving having this channel to express myself!
yeh same! It's an awesome safe space! and our community @onelovedtube <3
