I’m a 70 year old grandma, who wants to be you when I grow up! I wish there would have been inspiring people like you, at the click of a button, when I was a young homemaker and mom. Thanks for sharing your life with us.
Mine were getting up at 5:45 when I was up at 5:30. I thought I was quiet buttttt once I slept in (6:30) and woke when they did, they all would sleep a bit later.
Yes! I’ve been trying so hard but my guy is in our bed a lot and I’m just so tired this postpartum. Refreshing to see! Would love to one day get up before my kids but it’s not the time.
As a bed sharing mom (6 kids), I've rarely been able to get up before the youngest for the same reason. It's so hard to sneak away, they almost always know instantly when I get out of bed. 😆 So I get up when the youngest wakes up too.
I have an entire rubbermaid bin of those cheap walmart washcloths. I use them for everything. I don't fold them after washing. I toss them in the bin, drawers, and baskets unfolded.
Yes, definitely I love seeing different morning routines. I’m also a homeschooling mother. Two of my kids have graduated and now I have one left . He will be in 11 grade this year. Time flies by . God bless ❤️
I also co sleep. It's just such a natural way to care for baby! I dont tell anyone because everyone seems to have a negative opinion about it. (i.e. anyone older or in the medical field) Actually, co sleeping is NOT more dangerous if the mother is not obese, a firm mattresses, and not drinking alcohol or other drugs/medications. It's hard to have those conversations, because people just say what the statistics say, but people dont like to look at people as individuals, I've found. If you take out those high risk situations in statistical analysis, co sleeping is actually just as safe. Good for you for sharing.. you'll probably get some hate!
Hi Melanie. I had to smile at your comment. I’m older (72), and also a medical professional. I co-slept with both my children until they just naturally migrated out of our bed. I’d do it again in a heartbeat.
I co-slept with each of my 7 children. I'm in my late 50's now and would do it all the same way again. As a light sleeper I felt there was no danger for me in doing so. My husband, however, was another matter. One night while he slept he placed his upper arm across the baby's face and could have smothered her had I not been such a light sleeper and vigilant. I don't believe most husbands are as aware of an infant in the bed during the night as their wives.
I'm considered obese in medical terms and Ive coslept with all 4 of my babies, some longer than others. I feel personally it worked for me because I'm a light sleeper. Being a light sleeper is so important when a baby is in the bed because they just roll so much haha. Congrats to all those mom who cosleep. I told my kids doc I do and they didn't say a word so maybe the world is coming around to something other nations have done for generations.
How do you all co-sleep "safely" though? My husband and I don't have any babies yet but maybe in the next year or two and I'd like to co-sleep but idk about the blankets, or if there's a specific way to do it, I've heard you can use a little baby nest/pillow like snuggle me organic for them to stay secure in? I've tried researching but most resources aren't helpful lol.
So thankful for the perspective of a co sleeping mama. I’ve often felt pressure to be up “before the baby” to get things done and it just isn’t possible for us while co sleeping. Thank you for sharing ❤️
Love that you sleep till you have to get up! This is very relatable! I never usually watch morning routine videos because I have NO interest in waking up earlier before the kids.
This video sure made me miss my bustling home with children. Empty nesting is not made for nurturers and those whose love language is feeding others. Have a blessed day!
Thanks for sharing! It's refreshing to see an AM routine that's very flexible and laid back (similar to how we so mornings here!). I'd love to see a homeschool morning routine because it's something we are considering for our kids :)
I love the way you mother Lisa! When your son brought you a flower I thought my heart would burst!! That is just too sweet! Life has so many ups and downs and being able to be flexible with your schedule is so important I think. If you ever want to adopt a old lady I’m volunteering 😂! Thanks for sharing your life with us! I love watching your videos! ❤️
As a mama growing my family and homestead, it’s always so nice to see your videos because you make everything seem so normal and doable. I feel a lot less overwhelmed when I see a beautiful home and a mama who is sleeping until her babies get up and still working hard to cook good meals and isn’t stressed about what time that all happens.
Love me some Real Lisa! (I was rooting for more of this a year or so ago.) I also love how you don't make your kids the center of your vids - ever. You maintain their privacy. I think that's where the better "family" channels are falling. xoxo
This makes me miss co-sleeping... I loved it with both of my boys (they are both teenagers now so this is really bringing back memories..). I'd say over 18 years ago it was pretty unconventional to be the co-sleeping mama who breastfed her kids till age 3 but I did it!! I also worked full time so this took some planning, dedication and sacrifice. I wouldn't change a thing and I have so many memories... Thank you for pointing out that you can be different and still 'get things done'. I think you make everyone who follows you appreciate their own unique skills.
Love how chill you are about your life. Not saying it isn't hectic at times but your attitude is everything. Your little water babies are amazing! I finally got brave enough to try a loaf of sourdough bread! Turned out pretty good, I just need to practice my stretching and folding a bit, the taste was fantastic though. Thanks for the inspiration and no fuss instructions on how to do it. Blessings to you Lisa.
Do more! Love these. Also the first time ive actually seen a video of a mom who doesnt wake up at a dreadfully early hour willingly lol im right with you 👌
Thank you for making this! My husband and I want a lot of kids… he is one of 13. We just found out I’m pregnant with number 2! Praise God. You inspire me to be my own kind of mom, just like you are for your kids. I am NOT a morning person either. I’ll stay up late with the kiddos and my husband can take the mornings 😊 God bless you and your family.
Thank you for talking about the towels. It seems so simple but my mom always made me feel bad for constantly getting new towels to clean up with. I’m glad to see it’s not just me! ❤️
Hi Lisa! I honestly watch your videos every day because I feel like you relate with me the most. I’m a mom a nearly 7 kids. I know you’re not perfect but your life style inspires me. I have a lady friend from my church who is interested in helping me start making sourdough bread. One day I’d love to have a farm of my own. At the moment we are in a good starter home. Your podcasts & TH-cam videos have really inspired me to work at being a better homemaker.
I like this video because of how realistic it is for people with a family. My husband bakes the sourdough bread in our home. He's making sourdough buns for dinner tomorrow evening. Can't wait. Have a good weekend
Wonderful. I enjoyed it so much. You are so talented and energetic. Love seeing all your babies as I am 53 and still no grandchildren. Thank you for sharing and I would love to see a Fall morning mom video.
No I love this video. Thank you for making it 😊 it’s so wholesome and comforting to see a house full of kids, no strict schedule, going through the morning doing the normal morning stuff ❤️
I loved seeing this morning routine! It made me feel better about my mornings because they're kinda similar. The other videos make me feel like I'm failing with such a rigid schedule. I'm pretty type A, but I like flexibility too. I only have two kids right now, but my younger one is still not sleeping through the night so I'm slow getting up even though I'm usually a morning person. Thank you for continuing to show the beauty of homemaking ❤️
Yep, I got last time angry when I saw this lady who was showing how she gets up early in morning same time every day and have time to put make up on. I just had to switch to another channel.
Two kids was the hardest for me!!! I felt like I was going crazy a lot of the time because you have to do everything for them- I have four now and things are so much calmer and I'm more chill! Happy momming!!
This makes me feel better about not being a very scheduled to the time kind of person or waking up at 5am. My baby also wakes up like 5 minutes after I get out of bed.
Good afternoon Farmhouse on Boone. Your morning's certainly are hectic. Make sure you take some time during the day for a bit of rest and relaxation. Take some time to smell the flowers.
Wow, thank you for sharing your summer morning routine! I love your unapologetic authenticity and I’m encouraged by the fact that so many other momma’s here co-sleep and get up with their littles. I thought I just hadn’t cracked the code on getting up early while co-sleeping🤷🏻♀️ maybe in the next season of my life I’ll be able to get up early and have some alone time-for now I suppose I’ll enjoy those early AM snuggles with my baby guilt free😉❤️
My husband and I have a similar routine. He gets up with older kids by ~7 am and I sleep in a little later with baby who I care for overnight. It works great! Of course as baby is starting to sleep more consistently throughout the night, he and I occasionally wake up before the kids and have coffee on the back porch 💝
I love the real-life feeling of this, that’s why I love watching your videos and following your family. You don’t seem that different (besides the full-on homesteading) from our family- you have kids, you do normal every day life with meaning and purpose, you cook, you clean, you just do life! Thanks for sharing your morning. Along those lines, I know you did this a while back but I would love to know what skincare and make up products you use! I know in your last video you shared about some clean beauty brands I hadn’t heard of and would love to know if what you use now is the same or if it’s changed!
Thanks for sharing your busy mom morning routine! Totally understand that it’s always changing! Great idea for the apron! My pockets are never big enough lol😆
The rags tip is actually the kind of simple knowledge that I need to be a better homemaker. I use tons of paper towels because I have 3 kids 4 years old and under. Spills happen constantly. And I hate using rags because I don’t feel like I should just wash them right away. Afraid they’ll get lost in the laundry and I end up with disgusting bacteria filled rags in the bottom of my sink 🤢 thank you 😊
I started this about 10 years ago after seeing just how many paper towel towels we went thru and just how wasteful it was. I just get white cloths at Walmart that I use for wiping counters in the kitchen and a second set for cleaning the dining room table w a gentler spray. It saves so much money using cloths, as opposed to paper towels. I just drape them over the top of the spray bottle after use. I change them out once a week. If they are damp, I just air dry them and then throw them in my closet hamper designated for cloths and towels. Wash them w some detergent and a bit of bleach....works great! 😊 I only do one full load of cloths and my kitchen towels about once a month.. I have lots of cloths, so works well. Love walking right past the paper towels at the store....😉.
I grew up on a small farm with a dairy - we had two breakfasts. The first one was called "dippy-dunky" and we would have a glass of fresh milk with a granola bar dipped in it. Then after chores (about 9:30) we would have a big oatmeal breakfast before starting our homeschooling. It's the way to go so you don't get tuckered out before chores are done!
You are amazing! I am envious of how flexible you are to whatever is currently happening. I hope that many young moms are encouraged by your example. I would have loved to had access to a channel like this when my kids were little. I used to put way too much emphasis on getting up (4:00 am) and dashing out of the gate with a full day and then fall exhausted into bed after putting the kiddos down. I tell you that little Theo is so bright eyed, and his chin dimple melts my heart! Thank you for adding us all into your days! 🫶🏻🥰
I used to think that if you live on a farm, you have to be up for the animals at dawn or before. It's so hard to even go to the bathroom during the night without one child knowing and asking where I'm I going, or if it's time to get up. I have always had to fake being asleep to get more rest. I've always had to wake very early for school and work, but not a morning person. Why these little people feel the need to wake very early? I'm always looking forward to nap time and their bedtime especially now that I'm mostly home. I'm really enjoying your videos. Thanks for sharing.
This was great! I'm not one to wake up at 5 am either because of my co sleeping babies! And my mind was def blown at the use many rags. I try and save rags too, but your way seems less time consuming. I'm gonna try it so thanks for the tip!
Love this video! I am a young homemaker with a 1 year old and a baby due in November. I live in suburbia but I do long for a slower life! Your videos are so helpful to me!
Yes!! Love these style!! I haaate how bad I feel after watching other moms have a strict morning schedule… I’m a free spirited kind of gal. Sahm and by golly I should have to have a scheduled time to do everything. Lol so I love and can relate to this! ❤️ thank u for sharing your life Lisa!
Im also a homesteading homeschool mama of 8…. Mostly very small children, and i gotta tell ya, when you said you take kids to swim lessons …. I thought, ”well, shes some kind of super hero “. It takes us over an hour just to get into the bus! And now you will forever be my inspiration. Thank you
Yes! Love this kind of content. Thanks for taking us along. I think most of us moms understand that the routine is ever-evolving according to the needs of your family.
Yes! I love videos like this, especially from you. You make it look impossibly easy but this video really showed how diligent and consistent you are and have to be to keep a nice home. Really motivated me to stop being so lazy :) I would love to see a full "day in the life" Thanks Lisa!
Your mama and daddy has to be incredibly proud of you. I watch your videos all the time. I'm probably about your parents age and I can only imagine how much they are proud of your hard work, your knowledge about homesteading and family. Your kids are so lucky to have this environment to live in on a farm. I looked at the pillows on the website. I may consider getting 2 of them because my husband and I both have neck issues. Take care!
I loved seeing that I’m not the only mom without a rigid schedule. I always felt like I did something wrong. We have a routine but not rigid. Please do more of these!
I awe of how easy you make having 7 kids look. I only had 2 but worked full time during their years at home. I could not imagine having 7. Love your channel.
Thanks for posting this. I've been curious for a while how you handle other tasks in the day, besides the cooking,gardening, animals, so love to see this video. You are really a great mom and inspiration to me. I talk about things you do, quite a lot with my husband, as a model to strive to copy, or at least for tips
Love watching real life morning routines. I don’t know what it is about it but it’s just so fun to watch how others realistically go through their days!
Another beautiful video! Always inspired and motivated after I watch your videos. Curious if you could a video on cleaning your dirty dishes/kitchen routine? The type of soap, sponges/rags you prefer to use. Thank you!!
Love this, Lisa! You definitely should do day-in-the-life more, though I’m sure it’s a lot of work setting up a camera everywhere! Also love seeing another Mom being super flexible 💕
Love aprons and kitchen tows too. I don't use paper towels. You a great inspiration to a lot young and not so young ladies. I dry my cloth on the clothes line in the summer
Thanks for sharing. Even though I usually get up between 5 and 6 am, I'm not that person that has everything covered before 7 am. I take my time really waking up with some coffee and enjoy the quiet of my home before everyone else wakes up.
I would love to see your Autumn/winter home Vlogs . I just wanted to let you know you and Luke are truly amazing people the workloads you both have are alot but your bringing your children up to be kind considerate people amoung all the other good things you both teach them ❤
Love seeing your morning routine, and would love to see more in the different seasons. I also love a daily washing schedule, it’s never a big pile it’s just a constant like meals and dishes.
I am up at 5am but my morning starts at 7am. I am on the go all day. I love seeing morning routines. It is refreshing to see how you are not routine but managed to get everything done.
Had to just share, I ordered some make-up and balm from Toups & Co. after listening to your podcast. I’ve been listening to you for awhile, love your videos, so I decided to trust your recommendations. Make-up is great quality, I was really surprised by how good it was. I’ve tired higher end brands and been disappointed. Thanks for sharing them!
Oh, thank you, Lisa for sharing. I'm a mum to 4 (one newborn) and I wish so badly to be able to get up before kids and have some of the stuff done while everyone is sleeping but it cannot happen because of the reasons you've also mentioned. Thanks for being honest and sharing❤
CEO of your Homestead!!!👩💻👩🏻🌾👩🏻🍳 Home management of time, chores, people, plus ur blog is full time job. You flow thru it all w/ such Grace! I admire your Spirit! ❤️🥰💋👏🏻👏🏻
I was surprised that you did not make the bone broth in the instant pot. I am borrowing one from a friend and can’t believe how wonderful it is. I listened to your video on how to leave it on warm during the night if you do not have a chance to take care of the bones and broth…..game changer…thank you. I would love to buy one in the future.
I love your Videos! Just being “there” is so satisfying. I want your pretty farm house 😊 I am also a homeschooling mom of 2. Lord willing we will have more babies yet and hopefully acreage like yours. Much love from Canada 🇨🇦
Lisa, I admire how fit you are after getting up so early. Apparently you are loving your life with the children. You are so flexible and organized, incredible
I love your schedule. Sometimes these days in the life make me feel awful. I’ve always gotten up when my kids do. My husband works weird hours that change often so I’ve been doing the nighttime get ups on my own for 16 years 😫. I really do love your channel. ❤️
I learned the hard way not wearing an apron. Ruined too many shirts so now I wear my apron when cooking or baking. I like all routines and am amazed by your energy level!
I’m a 70 year old grandma, who wants to be you when I grow up! I wish there would have been inspiring people like you, at the click of a button, when I was a young homemaker and mom. Thanks for sharing your life with us.
Me too!🥰
I’m a grandma also and just love her! She is such a wonderful mommy and I want her ti be my mom lol
Agree I will soon be 72 Trial and error all the way!!
I said the same.
She’s an inspiration! 💝
Most precious comment ever !
It’s so refreshing and comforting in a way to see I’m not the only mama who isn’t up at 4 or 5 am to get everything done before the littles are up.
I feel a little more human knowing I’m not the only one!!
Especially with the co-sleeping part. Climbing off or them waking up just because I'm shifting around is a real thing.
Mine were getting up at 5:45 when I was up at 5:30. I thought I was quiet buttttt once I slept in (6:30) and woke when they did, they all would sleep a bit later.
Yes I agree thanks for posting
Yes! I’ve been trying so hard but my guy is in our bed a lot and I’m just so tired this postpartum. Refreshing to see! Would love to one day get up before my kids but it’s not the time.
As a bed sharing mom (6 kids), I've rarely been able to get up before the youngest for the same reason. It's so hard to sneak away, they almost always know instantly when I get out of bed. 😆 So I get up when the youngest wakes up too.
I have an entire rubbermaid bin of those cheap walmart washcloths. I use them for everything. I don't fold them after washing. I toss them in the bin, drawers, and baskets unfolded.
It is embarrassing how much I want to be friends with you! 😂 I have never seen a morning routine more relatable. I am so grateful you shared this.
Yay! Thank you!
Yes, definitely I love seeing different morning routines. I’m also a homeschooling mother. Two of my kids have graduated and now I have one left . He will be in 11 grade this year. Time flies by . God bless ❤️

Loved this! As a co sleeping mum I can't get jobs done before my kids are up either. Would love to see a homeschool day in the life!

Thanks for sharing Lisa. It was encouraging for me to see other productive mom's also having a more low key start to the day.
Wonderful. I enjoyed it so much. You are so talented and energetic. Love seeing all your babies as I am 53 and still no grandchildren. Thank you for sharing and I would love to see a Fall morning mom video.

I’d love to see more of your daily routines way comforting and sweet to watch!

Then after chores (about 9:30) we would have a big oatmeal breakfast before starting our homeschooling. It's the way to go so you don't get tuckered out before chores are done!
love hearing stories like this...thanks for sharing!
I loved this video. Definitely would love another one in other seasons. We do ISR in Florida every year and love it.
You are amazing! I am envious of how flexible you are to whatever is currently happening. I hope that many young moms are encouraged by your example. I would have loved to had access to a channel like this when my kids were little. I used to put way too much emphasis on getting up (4:00 am) and dashing out of the gate with a full day and then fall exhausted into bed after putting the kiddos down. I tell you that little Theo is so bright eyed, and his chin dimple melts my heart! Thank you for adding us all into your days! 🫶🏻🥰
I used to think that if you live on a farm, you have to be up for the animals at dawn or before.
It's so hard to even go to the bathroom during the night without one child knowing and asking where I'm I going, or if it's time to get up. I have always had to fake being asleep to get more rest. I've always had to wake very early for school and work, but not a morning person. Why these little people feel the need to wake very early? I'm always looking forward to nap time and their bedtime especially now that I'm mostly home.
I'm really enjoying your videos. Thanks for sharing.
This was great! I'm not one to wake up at 5 am either because of my co sleeping babies! And my mind was def blown at the use many rags. I try and save rags too, but your way seems less time consuming. I'm gonna try it so thanks for the tip!
Love this video! I am a young homemaker with a 1 year old and a baby due in November. I live in suburbia but I do long for a slower life! Your videos are so helpful to me!
This was really encouraging! I only have 2, and I tend to have more of a rhythm vs. strict routine. I always appreciate your authenticity.
You will never be lonely
Yes!! Love these style!! I haaate how bad I feel after watching other moms have a strict morning schedule… I’m a free spirited kind of gal. Sahm and by golly I should have to have a scheduled time to do everything. Lol so I love and can relate to this! ❤️ thank u for sharing your life Lisa!
Im also a homesteading homeschool mama of 8…. Mostly very small children, and i gotta tell ya, when you said you take kids to swim lessons …. I thought, ”well, shes some kind of super hero “. It takes us over an hour just to get into the bus! And now you will forever be my inspiration. Thank you
Love seeing morning routine. I also homeschool. Seeing how your routine is helps give ideas of how we can make our own routines better/easier.
Yes! Love this kind of content. Thanks for taking us along. I think most of us moms understand that the routine is ever-evolving according to the needs of your family.
Yes! I love videos like this, especially from you. You make it look impossibly easy but this video really showed how diligent and consistent you are and have to be to keep a nice home. Really motivated me to stop being so lazy :) I would love to see a full "day in the life" Thanks Lisa!
Your mama and daddy has to be incredibly proud of you. I watch your videos all the time. I'm probably about your parents age and I can only imagine how much they are proud of your hard work, your knowledge about homesteading and family. Your kids are so lucky to have this environment to live in on a farm. I looked at the pillows on the website. I may consider getting 2 of them because my husband and I both have neck issues. Take care!
Was just thinking I would love to see how different the morning looks when homeschooling. 😊Thanks for sharing.
I loved seeing that I’m not the only mom without a rigid schedule. I always felt like I did something wrong. We have a routine but not rigid. Please do more of these!
I adore the realness and peace to your routine. So relatable. Thank you. Greetings from Namibia!
Thank you for watching!
I know you are so busy with sweet kids and beautiful home, but this was a very peaceful video 🤗💕
I awe of how easy you make having 7 kids look. I only had 2 but worked full time during their years at home. I could not imagine having 7. Love your channel.
Thanks for posting this. I've been curious for a while how you handle other tasks in the day, besides the cooking,gardening, animals, so love to see this video. You are really a great mom and inspiration to me. I talk about things you do, quite a lot with my husband, as a model to strive to copy, or at least for tips
It's so important that the kids learn to swim!!¡ great video as always!! Theo's eyes are stunning!!
Love watching real life morning routines. I don’t know what it is about it but it’s just so fun to watch how others realistically go through their days!
We love morning routines !!
Another beautiful video! Always inspired and motivated after I watch your videos. Curious if you could a video on cleaning your dirty dishes/kitchen routine? The type of soap, sponges/rags you prefer to use. Thank you!!
Love this, Lisa! You definitely should do day-in-the-life more, though I’m sure it’s a lot of work setting up a camera everywhere!
Also love seeing another Mom being super flexible 💕
Love these morning routine videos! I feel like I can totally relate with your “go with the flow” style!
Love seeing your different morning routines💕
Love aprons and kitchen tows too. I don't use paper towels. You a great inspiration to a lot young and not so young ladies. I dry my cloth on the clothes line in the summer
Thanks for sharing. Even though I usually get up between 5 and 6 am, I'm not that person that has everything covered before 7 am. I take my time really waking up with some coffee and enjoy the quiet of my home before everyone else wakes up.
It's nice to see someone else who nurses their babies to sleep! I do the same because it just felt natural to do so. :)
So incredibly cosy as always, thank you for sharing your beautiful life
I would love to see your Autumn/winter home Vlogs . I just wanted to let you know you and Luke are truly amazing people the workloads you both have are alot but your bringing your children up to be kind considerate people amoung all the other good things you both teach them ❤
Love seeing your morning routine, and would love to see more in the different seasons. I also love a daily washing schedule, it’s never a big pile it’s just a constant like meals and dishes.
I am up at 5am but my morning starts at 7am. I am on the go all day. I love seeing morning routines. It is refreshing to see how you are not routine but managed to get everything done.
Thanks for sharing this!
Had to just share, I ordered some make-up and balm from Toups & Co. after listening to your podcast. I’ve been listening to you for awhile, love your videos, so I decided to trust your recommendations. Make-up is great quality, I was really surprised by how good it was. I’ve tired higher end brands and been disappointed. Thanks for sharing them!
Fine Family and such Great Values !❤
Yes to a day in the life for other season of the year also! Thank you :)
We do routines, not schedules too. Its great to see that we aren’t the only ones.
Oh, thank you, Lisa for sharing. I'm a mum to 4 (one newborn) and I wish so badly to be able to get up before kids and have some of the stuff done while everyone is sleeping but it cannot happen because of the reasons you've also mentioned. Thanks for being honest and sharing❤
Yes would love to see morning routines in the other seasons!
CEO of your Homestead!!!👩💻👩🏻🌾👩🏻🍳
Home management of time, chores, people, plus ur blog is full time job.
You flow thru it all w/ such Grace!
I admire your Spirit! ❤️🥰💋👏🏻👏🏻
I feel like we’re so much alike! Your videos are always so soothing and comforting to watch. Would love to see a fall morning routine!
I love your farmhouse kitchen!!!
Im so hotvright now, wish i could jump into thst pool. Such sparkly water. Your boys r doing great!
I love your homemaker tips, and would love to see your morning routine in the fall
Yes I would love to see videos on your daily routine in the Fall & Winter. You are a Amazing Mother. Love your channel.
I was surprised that you did not make the bone broth in the instant pot. I am borrowing one from a friend and can’t believe how wonderful it is. I listened to your video on how to leave it on warm during the night if you do not have a chance to take care of the bones and broth…..game changer…thank you. I would love to buy one in the future.
She usually does.
I smile every time I see Theo's sweet face. You have a beautiful family. God bless.
love this!❤
This is actually a very realistic, useful morning routine; thank you!
I love your Videos! Just being “there” is so satisfying. I want your pretty farm house 😊 I am also a homeschooling mom of 2. Lord willing we will have more babies yet and hopefully acreage like yours. Much love from Canada 🇨🇦
Lisa, I admire how fit you are after getting up so early. Apparently you are loving your life with the children. You are so flexible and organized, incredible
I love your schedule. Sometimes these days in the life make me feel awful. I’ve always gotten up when my kids do. My husband works weird hours that change often so I’ve been doing the nighttime get ups on my own for 16 years 😫. I really do love your channel. ❤️
OMG, I'm so tired already! I hope you know how much I admire you and all you and Luke do. 😇❤
Yes please. More of these type of vids. TJ is a cutie! Love that smile.
Love seeing this morning routine!
I learned the hard way not wearing an apron. Ruined too many shirts so now I wear my apron when cooking or baking. I like all routines and am amazed by your energy level!
