I ALWAYS enjoy coming here to visit with you. I learn something EVERY.SINGLE.TIME. Thank you so much for all of the effort that you put into this for us.
loved this realistic view into your day and business:) Hugs Maria
We raised our 4 kids in a town that has a huge lake. So swimming lessons are very important. I found that many of their school friends quit lesson once they could tread water in the deep end and started to the learn front crawl. I found that children would also be failing this class because the front crawl is more difficult, which is probably why so many kids quit their lessons. There is a false sense of capability levels given to people who can handle the deep end of a swimming pool. We would take our family into BC camping, and to mountain valley's with large lakes with tall rocky mountain cliffs. The older kids loved to jump off them into the water below. The waves on large lakes are hard for even the strongest swimmer. Even though my older kids had already completed all the swim levels, I still watch them like a hawk. As for my youngest, he had to stay in a life jacket when we'd take the older ones to the lake. He was even jumping off the cliffs too at age 4. Life jacket on all the time of course, even to play in the sand. We would go with friends so we had 7 kids altogether, and keeping tabs on younger ones can be distracted. So both my boys had to wear a life jacket at all times when they were little. Children and water is very scary, and having them get to the point of being experienced and strong swimmers helps moms be not so stressed out. Just a little. My 25 year old is in Nova Scotia right now and just sent me photos of the ocean and beach that he's at. And of course, my protective instincts kicked in. I reminded him that it's an ocean with currents. He's a prairie boy and not used to swimming in the ocean. Don't let your kids quit their lessons even when they get hard. Lakes are not like swimming pools and oceans are not like lakes.
So well said. Thank you
100% The best lessons and life skill you could ever invest in. My mom couldn't swim but she insisted my brother and I went all the way through swim classes, beginner to lifesaving. No quitting, it wasn't an option. I grew up in Michigan where so many of us live right on the lake. Now when I travel to the ocean with the family I am confident but also really respectful of that water. I never worry about sharks because I am too concerned with making sure we all safe in the waves and currents, lol.
My husband is a prairie boy who grew up on the lovely calm and shallow Lake Winnipeg. I remind him all the time “that’s a river” “ that’s the ocean” “that may be a lake but look at those waves from the valley wind!” I taught him a lot about “lazy swimming” how to be more efficient and how to float as a muscular person. And we always have all our safety gear :)
I agree completely. We live on a lake and all of my kids learned to swim at a young age but then I signed them up for the local swim teams in summer. There they learned all the strokes and did them everyday. It was every weekday from about 8 to 11 and sometimes some local meets. The coaches were great and practices intensive. By the end of the summer my two oldest swam better than I ever did and the youngest wasn't far behind. We did this for about three years. I did still worry when we went to the ocean each summer. I grew up knowing the waves and tides, learned to swim in the ocean, they hadn't. Despite the fact that by then they were better swimmers than I was I still watched them like an eagle when they were in the water, ready to run in st the drop of a hat. They were teenagers by then and really didn't appreciate my concern but they did listen when I went in and checked the undertow, the current, where it was pulling, etc. It's fun watching them now teaching their kids to swim. This was the first year of swim lessons. I just bit my tongue and enjoyed.
Absolutely! Our school had an indoor pool and we were all required to take swim lessons from 4th - 12th grade. We lived in the Finger Lakes district and we often went to the various lakes and even spent a lot of time visiting the various Great Lakes (which, as you know, act more like seas with tides and ravaging winter storms) so we were always swimming, sailing, canoeing, kayaking, skiing, boating, fishing, you name it, we were on the water doing it! The very first and most important lesson is to respect the water.
You are a very good and protective mother and it sounds like you aren’t overly protective, just as needed. God bless you and yours!
Lisa, I’ve been watching you for years and simply love your content and your family (from a mother of 8).
Something I like to do with my basil in the summer is make pesto and then freeze it into cubes to use all year long! Sometimes I'll add a cube or two some marinara, or make a creamy pesto sauce for pasta, or add it to pizza. It's just so delicious and nice to have on hand! Another way we save basil is stack several leaves on top of each other, roll them up and then wrap in foil, place in container or bag and freeze. Then all you have to do is get one out, unwrap and chiffonade (while frozen) and add it to eggs or sauce, etc!
I love this type of video. As a visual learner who is striving to have a home business, your insight and transparency (whether spoken or filmed) is very valuable to me! Thank you🌻
Team work makes the dream work! Keep up the hard work you guys!!! 👍
I found this fascinating, Lisa. My admiration for all you young women bloggers just keeps growing😊
Where’s the older women though.
@@peggypeterson5702we’re tired 🤣🤣🤣
Perfect timing, just sat down to fold laundry and watch during my boys’ nap/quiet time ☺️
Same here! Always some laundry to fold with kids.
@@flaviegauthier9262 oh man, I don’t have kids yet and I always have laundry to fold still. I hate laundry and am terrified for when I do have kids. 🤣
loved this video! It helped to see how you organize things to make sure the most important things get done and how to balance normal life with business. I would love to see more videos like this!
I imagine this video being super helpful for people wanting to get into the blogging business. Personally, I'd love to see a video of your actual day in the life with kids (unless you don't wish to, which is obv fine). As someone who would also love a big family but is kinda afraid of the logistics of all of it, it would be super helpful. Anyway, have a great day!
My Mother had 10 children it’s hard work. I don’t have any.
This may explain why you seem to hold your breath a lot, and take such deep breaths when you do breathe. I bet the years go pretty fast for you and your family. Do take care Lisa...remember to stop.....and smell the roses. 😉 🤗
This was such great information. I was so curious about how the process worked.
I have, frankly, never understood how you manage schooling and care of the home and all the needs of 8 people, going on 9, and tend the land and animals plus all your projects.
It seems like Lisa has more hours in a day than the rest of us do. But I've decided that it's because she makes a plan and follows through with it.
Organization.
@@joymorrison6614 I work from home and did not homeschool until I had to for the past year and some months. I am extremely organized and all in the household know that I earn a living, too, and they have jobs to do. But, there are so many wild cards in her existence, like the days they lost tending to the damage and mess from that 100-yr. storm and I suppose her children are outside a lot of the time with safe spaces to roam. But, I'd have to see a real DITL to figure out what she does with the suddenly hurt child or sick cow and such because it is also a small house, though gorgeous. One cannot follow through easily with plans and that many people and a husband who's busy out and about on the farm. We do not by any means have chaos and disruption all the time, but it's hard work.
@@lynnnelson6689 I am organized and so is my family because I work from home. But she is in a small space with a lot of people who are all around all the time since they all work and school on the premises. I work from home, so we are rather more organized than most households. But with that many people, she may be the General Patton of the farm mothers. We also do not have livestock and crops on anything like their numbers.
@@philippapay4352 I understand but if you saw her Q&A video recently, she explains she has help - a lot of help. This comment was not personal rather in general. I think if people would watch TV less, Facebook less and let's say, less on social media, they would have more time. That does not mean you, okay. Take care and remember we are all individuals, some can accomplish more than others and no need to feel guilty.
I understand it’s a lot of work, but now have a deeper appreciation for the time and energy put into this job. I also need to remember that some things are “fake” (portable fake surfaces) and not as perfect as my eyes are seeing- so, don’t compare myself and feel like a failure!
Thank you for all you do to make our lives better
Thank you for showing behind the scenes people think you tubers just make money but it truly is your job and it takes teamwork to make it work doesn't it all do great! I think it's awesome and a wonderful life I think it's great I love your videos
Thank you so much!
Yes, I really liked hearing about the vlogging and your schedule. :-)
I watch so many blogs I find myself talking while I’m cooking,cleaning, or working the chickens
That was very interesting & very informative. Thanks Lisa. Loved the video...more would be great.
I love this! I don’t know how you get it all done!
You are amazing, Lisa! Thank you for all you do. Love learning from you.
Thank you so much!
I know this video is 7 months ago. However, I am binge-watching because I just found your channel 2 days ago and I love love love it... all of it!!!
Wow ! I had no idea of all that you do behind the scenes to bring us the content .Very interesting ,Thanks for sharing Lisa !
I’ve made flatbreads with sourdough starter discard - just fried up in butter with a sprinkle of salt. Really delicious.
Oooh behind the curtain! Very interesting! Thanks Lisa
Please tell me there are days when you don't want to do anything .
It's inspiring what you do every day . Just wow 👌👌👌
Ha, yeah, I'm one of those people who "need" measurements for recipes. So thank you for making those happen! :-)
I honestly don’t know how you do it…..and your right it looks effortless, but I can only imagine the work that you put into your channel…. Your a busy Mama xo
Love your sharing, would also enjoy seeing just your family times and thing around your lovely farmhouse.
I made the cheddar waffles and my kids LOVED them !!
This was interesting to see the behind the scenes. So true how you can do more with less time with kids to balance your day. I think it is so cool how you have figured out how to get paid to be a stay at home mom and you are doing it without sacrificing the being a mom part to do it.
I've seen videos where TH-camrs talk about what they do to get their videos uploaded, but you definitely make me admire you even more after watching this video... Like a real 'behind the scenes' with the serious bits of getting it done.
That was amazing. How do you ever get everything done and hopefully have some time for you? Thank you so much for sharing your life through youtube. I love watching everything that you do.
yes! i definitely get time to myself. that time just doesn't normally include my camera haha
If you're interested in a little tip to your never ending list of "things to remember" If you don't want your cutting board to move around while you're using it, a damp paper towel or the spongy drawer liner put under it works wonders. I just love your videos, Thank you ❤️ p.s. I suppose after viewing this video some people are still convinced you kick back eating bonbons the rest of the day.
Love your blogging related content! Please share more! Thanks
Very informative! I think most people have no idea all the work that bloggers/TH-camrs have to go through to make just one post or video. It was very interesting, thank you. 😊
Loved this video! Thank you! I've been wanting to start a blog for the last 6 years. It's nice to see a behind the scenes!
Yes to more! Very helpful to see the process.
What a lot of work, I had no idea. WOW! ❤
Thanks for sharing all you do for us to watch your videos.
I've been watching for your Tuesday video! This was VERY interesting! I had no idea what goes into a video! 👏
Loved seeing how you work on all of this! You have given me so much inspiration!
Love this kind of honest approach videos. Thank you, Lisa!
This is such perfect timing as I am a week or so into your blogging class. Thank you, love this video!
Hey Lisa I lost reach of you for a while .... so glad I found your vlogs....I missed all your helpful hints
Thanks Lisa! I love your creativity! Your videos are so inspiring! 🤗
I think you are so inspiring and your content is wonderful!
Love all the videos! You by far are my favorite! What a gift you have, and thank you for all that you share!
I loved this video very interesting to see what goes into it and there is a lot. There is no slowing you down Lisa! Really it is amazing all you are able to do. Have fun at dinner. 😊
I like day in the life videos. I love anything you do with sourdough!
I LOVE this video Lisa!! ♥️
Our granddaughter is doing ISR swim lessons. My son, a former Special Forces officer said that initially it was heartbreaking for him, but since they bought their lake house it’s just absolutely needed. I’m very happy that his community offers this to the children. So important!
WOW! What an amazing video! Thank you for showing us about everything that goes on in making your videos! You are such a strong woman and I admire you a lot!!
Love the glimpses into the blogger family life!
After watching this TH-cam posting I have a whole new respect for what you guys do.
Awe I would love to see more of your day!! This was a very fun video to watch. 👏🏼
I have always appreciated your photography skills. They are always on point.
Loved this video, It's nice to see what goes on in the background.
I love your videos! Hope your farm is doing okay! 😊💜
Loved this video! This was so helpful, thanks for sharing!
And YES, loved this type of video.
I have so much respect for you and how you go about your work and home life! We appreciate it!
Thank you Lisa, this video was very interesting! A day in the life videos are what I like the most. You're a powerful woman!
Love it! Great suggestions and insight!
Always enjoy the blogs, bit really enjoyed this one. Very informative. Pls include more of these from time to time. Thanks for all the great content always.
I loved this episode! Such a great look into your day and blogging/vlogging life. Love the way you prioritize your family and kids and then balance that with a work from home job. I would definitely love to see more of this content in other seasons!
Yes! I like this type of video. It's a little more helpful than just a day in the life video. Thank you!
Oh how I would love to have the cucumbers and tomatoes!!! I can just see Danny coming up behind you and trying to eat the soup and croutons!!!! He is so cute!!❤️
Thanks Lisa for this video. Actually really helpful to me as I’m pretty new into my blogging journey. I don’t have a picturesque home so I have been wondering about how you do your photography. It really helps to see how you do that and how you schedule your days/photo shoots. Definitely going to check out your sponsor for this video, I need those back drops! Have a great day. :)
This was such an interesting video. I have always heard vloggers talk about how time consuming the filing/editing process is, but actually seeing it being done and your explanations behind it all was super interesting. Thanks for going to so much trouble. I love your channel x
What a fun and awesome video Lisa. Your tomato soup looks amazing. Thank you for inspiring me to make something new, like soup or pesto or bread.
You are a hard , busy worker......and have the ability to juggle many things at once. I don’t know when you have relaxing moments. You do everything up so very nice. Great video!
Love this insight to your world.
Absolutely loved this video... very helpful as a new blogger and busy momma.
I just love your beautiful personality and honest approach to life.
I loved seeing what it takes to do a blog and TH-cam channel. You did a great job in sharing just what it takes. Organization!.
Loved this video. You are so talented and so hard working, Lisa! 😊
Loved this video! What a fun lifestyle! A bit of everything!
One of my favorite videos of yours! I should sign up for you blog class. I just made my first vlog the other day, on a total whim(!), absolutely not sure if I will post it haha. It was fun though, so who knows.
Thanks for inspiration and for keeping it real!
Wow Lisa that was brilliant and work and you are so good at it plus your Hubby is so supportive of your career and he has made it his too. I love your channel and your story I can hardly wait for each episode..........well done. Plus what good parents you are getting your children to learn water safety and how to float I taught swimming and the little ones really need to get over fear of water and to respect it, I almost drown trying to help a girl I know how close I came. Plus I love seeing you all praying before you ate ♥.....a fan from western Canada!!
I enjoyed this one. I also would like to see you have of your children on more❤️
You are so amazing. You are one busy mom and you are making it happen. Lisa, just so wonderful and your kids are blessed to have you and your husband. I just wait for the next video with pleasure and anticipation. Blessings
Pretty much anything creative and running a family takes a lot of time and koodos to you for all you accomplish!
You are such an amazing mom! And wife! I truly look up to you and everything you believe in! You’re amazing 🙈
Lisa, that was so insightful and informative. I'm totally in awe of you. I, too, have six children,(in 10 years), and love seeing your passion for your family and also your job. I'm a passionate cook at home, and previously at work, and I totally understand the work involved. Absolutely love watching, don't ever stop! You're killing it! Lots of love from Australia xxx
I am really enjoying your channel and am watching and learning different ways to use my six year old sourdough starter. You have a lovely family. Thank you!
Wowza this was cool to see. You’re right I had no idea how much work your job is! You make it look easy, but I see it takes a while to get such a professional finished product. Thank you for sharing this with us. I found your blog and channel while working nights as a RN (private duty nursing, so I’d watch while my patient slept) and continue to enjoy your blog and videos now as a mostly at home mom. It’s my “me time.”
Wow, you work so hard on these. It shows❤ . I'm definitely not up to that task but I really enjoyed learning a little of how you do it. Love this channel. Xxoo
Whew! I need to sit down and rest a while! You are one busy lady! Have you ever had a person ask you when you say you’re a stay at home working mom what you do all day??? Does that person’s face be like 😳? You’re amazing! Me? I have to get my grandson to show me TikTok on my phone! 🤦🏻♀️ So glad that TH-camrs like you are so tech savvy and willing to share that with other entrepreneurs just starting. What a blessing! 🙌🏻 I like learning recipes, etc., and seeing videos of kids swimming, playing, milking cows (you go Joanna!) and all things farm! You have such a eclectic channel that offers something for anyone! Can’t wait to try that soup recipe! Tomatoes are coming in by the truckloads! 🍅🍅🍅🥰
Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed this video! Loved hearing about and seeing the practical sides of your work/life balance. My favorite videos you create are What We Eat in A Day/Week. But this type of video is right up there with them!
I loved this kind of video. I would love more of them
Wow! I had no idea that so much went into vlogging. Your videos seems so effortless and you give us such great content in addition to being a wife and mother who's expecting. I loved this video. Thanks for sharing.😊💖
Geez Lisa, I don't know how you manage it all! It's crazy to me, that in the midst of showing us all the reality of just how much work really goes into all that you do, you STILL seem to exude a pretty calm and capable air about it. You are truly blessed. You are such a terrific example of so many great qualities aside from the ones you showcase like the gardening, cooking, sewing etc. Your "uncelebrated" skills like organization, planning, work ethic, parenting, and just "get er done" attitude is truly inspirational. And you do it all with a huge amount of grace. I've said it before but it bears repeating. You're an inspiration. Your partnership with your husband, in doing all of these things for the betterment of your home, family, children, and quality of life will have such a lasting impact on them. Thank you as always for sharing all that you do. You really do us a service in sharing all that you do. I hope you're feeling well, you look beautiful by the way! Love from Montana!
Thank you… you teaching me …any time… best wishes from Greece!
We love seeing our journey! Great job inspiring me to be more. God Bless P.S. Keep sharing your journey with us.
Just found your channel. Wow, good job, Mama! I have a little farm and a first little one on the way (very soon!) I’ve been overwhelmed and tired this whole summer and couldn’t keep up with our large garden & many other homestead plans. You’re on a whole other level with that awesome, large family! I take it as a boost of inspiration! If you can do all that, I can (take a nap) and then do my work too!
Wishing you God’s blessings and continued success.
Very informative vlog. Thanks so much!
I love this style of videos
Gazpacho would take care of all of those extra veggies that you named, but in one recipe. Plus it’s so refreshing during the summer since it’s generally served chilled. Love your videos, btw.
