I feel women have been almost pushed to work outside our home, to succeed in the corporate world, to work long hours, to be managers. Almost nobody understands the true importance of having more homemakers in the world, raising happy kids, building successfull relationships, making a home beautiful, cozy and safe. I Believe in my heart that this is our most important role, it doesn't bother me if people think i'm old fashioned or against feminism
I am 26 and want to start a family with my hubby of 5 years and want this to be my life. Sadly we live very simply but live in a very expensive state. I will have to work at least part time if we have children. I think being a homemaker is absolutely beautiful 😍
Women’s Lib robbed us in my humble opinion. It just gave me two full time jobs neither of which I felt I could give enough attention to 🤯. After I retired from my corporate mgmnt position, I kept my two granddaughters for 4+ years. We played, baked, crafted, read, sang, took field trips, etc. and all 3 of us THRIVED. I feel guilty that I couldn’t do that with my own three kids 🥺
I love cooking and baking! But some says I wake up and just feel that push to clean. Homemaking is so beautiful and such a gift we can give to our families. Love this so much
I receive a lot of gruff from "successful" women in my life because I inspire to stay at home & raise my kids this way. Thank you for sharing the importance of this role, it's truly inspirational
I think it’s jealousy to some extent. Some women can’t stay home or were brought up where their worth was defined in “success”. It’s always an issue with them.
If a woman is blessed with a good husband and father to the children, she would be lucky to stay home and be a good loving wife, mother and teacher to her children. To make a warm cozy home with great smells coming from the kitchen is a wonderful gift for her family. What an excellent role in life.
I am a single momma of three teens. I have worked from home and built a business all while staying home and homeschooling my children. No husband, father or child support, just Jesus on my side helping me along the way💕
@@rooftopworship that is amazing! Great job! I stayed home with my first and was a single mom as well. My life was quite different but it was so worth it. I lived on food stamps and 400$ of child support a month, and my parents generosity of letting us stay in their downstairs apt. It was hard and i couldnt buy very much at all, but i wouldnt trade it for anything.
I love the term “home keeper”. It gives honor to the maintaining of a home. Setting things up is more “exciting”. But keeping it a home, day in and day out- that’s where the rubber meets the road. Such a gift to be content in your role. Happy New Year to you and your wonderful family Lisa.
Lisa, thank you for showcasing the role of the keeper of the home in such a positive way. It's obvious in your videos that you feel that way, but I appreciate you talking about it too. And your meal looks delicious.
I was recently asked my occupation and when I told the person I was a home maker they were like that's great, not many people do that any more, we actually call it domestic engineering now. The more I think about it, the more that bothers me, the term homemaker has connotations of warmth and coziness, of taking care of your family in a loving and meaningful way, it's an art form. Calling it domestic engineering just sounds cold and clinical, more like a career than a lifestyle. Do people really think so little of taking of your family and home? What are they trying to accomplish by giving it a fancy new "important" sounding name? I embrace being a home maker and if anyone ever tries to tell me I'm a domestic engineer again I will correct them.
I don't know of many people who use the term "domestic engineering". I do have a hunch it got started to make the role of homemaker sound more substantial or legitimate, like a regular career outside the home. It's kind of like how secretaries are now referred to as administrative assistants.
I genuinely believed the word “homemaker” was a term used for residential construction workers or planners or something. But wow, people really say “Domestic engineering?” Always got to use word that make it seem cold and soulless like you said, totally not by design or anything. Especially when you take care of your children and their needs and education.
Thank you for this. I think in today’s society they under value the art of homemaking. When people used to ask me what I did I was always respond, “I’m just a stay at home mom.” I think we need to change the narrative, I don’t JUST stay home. The things I do are very important to my family and I will never regret all of these years I’ve spent growing our family and tending to our home. No cooperate promotion could provide me with this satisfaction
This was lovely. As a wife who has been home for 26 years, a Momma for 25, I've had some time to weed out what is and isn't important. The work we do in our homes IS important. It sets the foundation for everything else in life. It may be hard, and seem to be impossible at times, every bit of it is worth it.
I just turned 27 and not married yet nor kids but I literally feel like I’m at a cross roads for making the decision now to pursue homemaking and being a stay at home wife/mom vs. moving up the ladder in my career life. So crazy women have to choose but I vote for family any day of the week
I've been struggling with my "worth" as a full time stay at home mom of 2 and this was what I needed to hear. Thank you so much for making me feel better and realizing that what I do is hard work even if it doesn't seem it
Worth? Your mothering and homemaking skills are invaluable. You are the creator of good character, values, morals, and wonderful childhood memories for your family. There is nothing more valuable than this.
Im a homemaker. Just realized that. I always liked doing housework. I cant work a "day job" because of rotten jealous people that are everywhere. I take care of my home,my mother and my animals. I know how to cook,clean,wash,repair and still learning.
I work full time in another industry where I gain a lot of personal fulfillment, but I appreciate homekeeping content because I do indeed keep a home. I’m not able (nor do I desire) to put the time into it that you do but I appreciate that the content you share can help me to take some of the guess work out. When people share recipes, or routines, or methods of doing things it can take away the experimental time of discovering things that someone can do when it’s their full time occupation. For me, I was a homekeeper for a year and did not work. It was one of the hardest years for me personally and I really suffered during it. I don’t have to work, financially we are in a place where I could stay home, but I love my work. In the end, what matters is that women go where they feel called to be. Where they can have a positive impact and where they feel at peace. For me, that isn’t always at home, but for some it is and I’m happy for them 😊
I feel I need to be completely transparent. When I first became a mom in 2016, I didn’t know if I wanted to be a homemaker. With life happening I became a stay at home mom in 2016. There where many times I still fought myself on being a homemaker. Fast forward it’s 2022, and I’m pregnant with my 4th baby. I absolutely love being a homemaker because it brings me joy and happiness . I also homeschool and I truly cherish my children
I am the organizer and clean freak, much rather clean and tidy up than cook. That’s why you are so inspirational to me bc you encourage me to cook more homemade meals and to not put excessive pressure on myself to be this “perfect” stay at home mom. You always keep it authentic. Words cannot express my gratitude. 🥰🙏🏻
A beautiful documentation of the everyday life. I myself feel so blessed when I come across my children's little messes. Dealing with fertility issues has made me more thankful for the life I have.
The best thing you said in this whole video is that the best part of your day is taking care of your family. As a mom with children in their 30's, I can say that this is the most important part of every day. Your children are watching and they know that you love them by the actions you are taking. Seriously, this makes me cry happy tears :)
My whole life I’ve only ever heard from my mom that she loves taking care of our home . 🖤 She certainly doesn’t go unnoticed around here and she makes sure my dad doesn’t go unnoticed either in his work. They’re a team. ✨
Morning Lisa .. Your an amazing beautiful woman!! You’re family is so blessed to have such a mother and beautiful wife!!! The fibers of this country would be much more stronger and better with more women like you…☺️
The comment about your best day is being at home taking care of the family, I'm the same way. I have to work outside the home but I've been off between Christmas and New Years and days that I get to be home are the best!! I love watching you work in your kitchen, one of your boys behind you seems to be drying some dishes and your other children are working with you in the kitchen. Such a blessing and wonderful memories you are making.
I haven’t finished watching this but the words on the thumbnail said “keeper of the home” which sounds so epic if you say it like Gandalf from Lord of the rings… or some awesome epic story where there is the “keeper of the gate” or “keeper of treasures” and the like… because as much as there’s the ordinary, “I picked up this room and washed these dishes 3 times already today” tasks, those tasks are important and a mom in the home has a very important job beyond what is tangible and what can be seen from the outside looking in.
I have been feeling in a rut with all the repetition. Thank you for the beautiful and gentle reminder that our work is sacred. This is my favorite video of yours to date.
Joanne Phillippi---- you have the most important job in the world and don't think the grass is greener on the other side of the fence, it isn't. You can believe there is plenty of repetition in the outside work world. If you feel in a rut, figure out some things to shake it up a little --do something different each day, allow yourself some fun with the kids (housework can wait sometimes)and remember to carve out a little time for yourself here and there ---for your sanity 😜No body is perfect, don't sweat the small stuff, yada yada yada.
Your videos have a very emotional effect on me. They take me back to when my children were toddlers and the joy they brought to my heart. I was a stay at home mom when it was very uncool to do so. I loved every moment of it, even the time we struggled financially. All of my adult children say to me that they had a happy childhood. What more could a mother wish to hear. My husband thinks I’m crazy when I tell him that if I could have another baby I would do it. We have 14 grandchildren and they are all teenagers now. I miss having an infant to cuddle with. You are truly blessed and a wonderful homemaker. I wish I had a baby carrier like yours, it’s gratifying to watch you do everything with your son so close to your heart. Happy New Year and God bless you and your family. ❤️
Thank you. I needed this reminder. My mother took great pride in being a homemaker. My parents had a business. We grew up with her working full time in the home for the home and the family business. She was proud to be doing both jobs. She excelled at both. I do not think she ever received the recognition that she deserved. She had self satisfaction, self motivation. Recognition was not there. I feel bad that we as children or adults never gave her that, for herself or her hard work put forth daily. Looking back we took advantage of her. She sewed many of our clothes 60 years ago. Made her own stylish clothes. Baked bread, made pasta. Walked a mile to the farmer down the road to get fresh milk with 5 kids in and out of a wagon. Taught us tennis, manners, canning, music, ast and so much more. I could go on. Thank you for carrying on traditions that so many women excelled at with little to no recognition.
This right here. I think back in the day, homemakers were not appreciated. Most had no financial resources to get out of a bad marriage if needed. People talk about women’s lib etc but I think Womens lib gave women a CHOICE to stay home and now good marriages with appreciated stay at home moms exist. In fact a lot of stay at home moms I know I have college degrees but chose to stay home. People don’t realize this but with women now having more “power” than they used to, indirectly the men they marry have more respect for them and when they stay home, they are appreciated and the marriages are more where they are respectful of each other.
God bless the keepers of the home. There are so many skills and values to be passed down. I’m so thankful everyday for getting to be a homemaker and raise my children. Now I have grands and work but thankful just the same. Bless you all hope you have a Happy New Year.
After a morning of preparing breakfast, getting the kiddos ready, and prepping a lunch for my husband, grocery shopping, restocking the fridge and pantry, I am finally able to sit down and have some lunch. I'll be honest I have more to take care of today and I was feeling overwhelmed but the serene and relatable content in your video helped me to relax. If you can take care of your home and 7 kids then I can manage just two kids and an apartment. Thanks for the motivation!
I was lucky enough to be a full time mum for both of my children and then for both of my grandchildren 🤗 they have all gone to lives of their own. I now work full time as a teaching assistant at a school for special needs, I love it but it keeps me away from looking after my home. I miss baking, sewing oh just making home but these kids I work with bring so much joy. Oh by the way I am 62 years young. Absolutely love your family. Take care and stay safe 🤗
I can’t express how beautiful this video is. All the ways we homekeepers serve our family and create a beautiful, comforting, safe environment for our families ought not be taken for granted or underestimated. It’s a big job and a rewarding one with the right attitude and understanding of purpose. Thank you for your encouragement and videos.
As someone who has been a mom of 4 for almost 22 years, I am so happy to see younger women find joy in being a homemaker. I started out working full time with my first two boys, and it really wasn’t making sense for almost my entire paycheck to go to daycare. So we made the decision for me to pursue being a personal trainer and Pilates instructor. This allowed me to take my boys with me to work and be there for them. 2 more kids later (14 and 16) and I find the work is just as needed as it was when they were little. The house still needs to be cleaned and we have chickens and I started a garden. I cook every meal here and all our kids still live at home. Sometimes times have been super tight with money, however I have learned so much over the years and wouldn’t trade any of this for any amount of money.
Omg I been doing this for years, and now with 9 children and building a business, I have to admit that when you said never underestimate the value you bring I couldn't help but cry. I had started feeling like my work was really going unappreciated, at least, maybe I didn't appreciate myself so much. I do this stuff all the time and never took the time to really appreciate it. Omg thank you for making this and remembering us keepers of the home. You are amazing.
I have always felt so envious of mothers who have the privilege of being able to be a stay at home mum or full time home keeper, I worked two nights a weeks as a nurse while my boys were small to maintain a very modest lifestyle and realise I spent most of those years exhausted. Being a mum can be hard but it’s the best job in the world x
You are a super woman, I am so challenged with how you worked seamlessly with the baby in a pouch. Love how you first dressed them up and ensured they are warm❤
Love, love this video. Does Theo sleep better all snuggled with you than in a bassinets? He looks so cozy and happy. You are an amazing Mom and homemaker. I imagine snow days are fun with hot cocoa and soup cooking while the children play in the snow. Bless your family!
Lisa does not try to put her babies down at this stage. She says they are in her wrap all day every day for around six months. It does look super cozy.
I just love this! When I got married 3.5 years ago, I had not a clue how to cook a thing, even a quesadilla! I have always hated cooking because it didn’t come naturally to me and I’d become easily fatigued in the kitchen from my chronic illness. My husband taught me how to cook, and finally as I’m in my final month of our first pregnancy, I am growing more and more eager to begin from scratch cooking as soon as I have an ounce of energy once our little boy is born. I just loved this video because it put into focus what I’ve been storing up in my heart the last few months, that I love and long to do- be a God-honoring homemaker. I’ve been the opposite of you, where I’ve hated cooking and loved the organizing side of homemaking. Now I’m excited to experience the joy of making food for my family along with making our home a haven.
So refreshing to affirm all these things I love doing for my family, and seeing you do them with so much passion really affirms the value of this essential care. The children feel so secure. Just to hear the sounds ... or our presence and the real work done... I carried my children too while working in the home and to this day they love home and family.
Hello Lisa! Just want to let you know that you are such an inspiration! Thank you for sharing the real! We are a farm family and we homeschool as well! We have cattle, sheep, goats, bunnies, puppies, miniature donkeys, miniature horses, birds, etc… Our fourteen year old girl is the voice behind our channel! We just wanted to reach out to you and thank you for inspiring us by doing your day in the life of you!! We hope you and your dear family have a blessed New Year!
I am 34 and have been a SAHM for two years. I went to college, traveled, and had a career. At times I feel like I am not living up to people’s expectations because I don’t work outside the home anymore. I sometimes internalize that, get down on myself, and start wondering if I should go back to work. But I love our life! We are all happy, the kids are thriving, and there is less stress and “grind.” Not that it’s always sunshine and roses, but this is working for us all. I remember growing up with two working parents and the stress and anxiety were always through the roof. Once my brother became a teenager he was almost never home to get away from it. I really appreciate hearing from people who value this work.
Thank you for this, I am a full-time homemaker and I've had people say to me "what do you do all day long," it used to bother me, but, not anymore, because I love it! I know I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing and it makes me so joyful. I love your videos
I’m a guy and I totally respect stay at home Mom’s not at all cause I’m a male chauvinist, I respect women that work and go to college also but the stay at home mother is so special to me more then ever with what’s going on in our country today…. It’s so so important for a good family foundation and with that foundation good morals ,values, respect, bonding and so much more grows from that!!!! You woman are more important than ever today and I appreciate and applaud all of you 👏👏👏
Who else can change the world more but we who keep the home? ❤️ thank you for you calming and motivational videos! I don’t know how you do it all- cooking, babies, video editing etc. but we are all cheering you on!
I am young woman working in the corporate world. While my work gives me so much joy and purpose, I also love (some!) homemaking, and I have a lot of respect for full time homemakers. I’m choosing to not have children, but I love making a warm space and comforting foods ❤️ Hats off to you full-time homemakers! True feminism is cheering on either choice 🥰
Wow you had the definition of homemaking spot on 🙏🏼 your an awesome mama and wife look at those homemade meals you made and the peaceful home you provide for your family. Your a huge blessing to them and they are likewise our blessings. God bless 😊
This is how I always wanted my life to be. I am thankful that my husband finally saw how truly miserable I was out working and how truly happy and content I am to be at home for the last few months taking care of the home, cooking, baking, fermenting, all my little projects. This is truly my happy place! Thank you so much Lisa for letting us see this beautiful part of your life. Such a joy! ❤️
Thank you so much for making this video. You've inspired me a lot over the years. I once did a day in the life thing on my Instagram stories and just shared what I do all day. I made the mistake of asking the question if people where interested in more stories like that. 80% said no. I probably just don't have the audience yet. But, I'm a stay at home mom and your video is a lot like...how my story was. Thanks for sharing, haven't watched in a long time.
This video unexpectedly brought me to tears. Quiet, peaceful tears. What a beautiful life you lead. Your family is so blessed to have such a strong, dedicated mother at the head of the home. You inspire me. Thank you for allowing us into your life in this way. ❤️🙏🏻
Thank you for all you do and for especially the encouragement for keeping a home. I'm 26, pregnant with our 4th and often it seems endless. I love to come watch you while I'm doing dishes and be inspired. You're amazing!
I love your stove, it reminds me of the stove my grandma had when I was a kid. We baked a lot of cookies in that oven. I was very sad when it stopped working and was replaced by a modern one (back in the 90s). I have good memories of those amazing times with my grandma. Love your videos, thank you for sharing. 🥰
Reading these comments and watching you being proud to be a homemaker really lights me up and makes me emotional at the same time. I feel like all of this exposure I’m getting about homemaking is truly being aligned with my true purpose in this world. Only God knows but I’m excited to see where life takes me. Thank you for showcasing the beautiful essence of being proud to be home 🏡
A woman’s work is never done. That stew you made looked so good but that last meal you made oh how yummy it was even though I couldn’t taste it. I don’t what was but love to know the recipes. Thanks Lisa enjoyed this video a lot. ♥️😊👍👍
Seeing your daughter being involved so much really warms my heart. I love how you are raising her to model the role of a wife one day. It will be rare to find a woman who naturally takes care of the home and she will be treasured for that. You are an amazing mother and wife. I can't explain how important this is. Your channel brings relief that not all homes are so lost on the web. It's so much peaceful and natural to see your kids involved with everyday life skills. Beautiful. You're doing great, Mama! ❤
I love these videos so much, I’ve been binge watching all of your videos for the past couple weeks. You inspire me so much. I am currently pregnant with my third baby and I have a 1.5 year old and a 7.5 month old. Always motivating me to keep taking care of things.
Thank you so much for this video. Your words of how important our job truly is gives me inspiration. I left corporate to stay home with our kids and sometimes (especially when around those who don’t understand what we “do all day”) I feel defeated. We don’t get vacation or time off. But I love my job. I just wish others understood it a bit better. 💙
When asked what I do; I’m a Domestic Management and Logistics Specialist with a focus in Inventory Processing and Budget Analytics. My second job is full time school teacher. I work nights, weekends, and holidays. 🙌🏻😆
What an amazing video!! As a homesteader and homeschooling SAHM, this spoke so much truth of my life and all I ever wanted to be since my earliest memory was a wife and mother. Content aside, the work into the videos here are incredible. Top notch!
My favorite video from you yet!!! You expressed how I feel about homemaking perfectly. Thank you for sharing the blessed and wonderful life you live with all of us.
I never understood when women say there bored 😐 I’m a care giver of my wonderful 87 year old mom whom lives with my husband and I And homestead on our our land raising chickens , bees, food and 💕 love working hard I am blessed beyond measure! Thank you for encouraging others on your beautiful journey called life😊 God bless!
I sure appreciated this video. I especially appreciated that you said how valuable taking care of a family is. 25 years ago it was considered lazy. “ I couldn’t stay home and do nothing all day.” Is what we heard.
Lisa this video made me so emotional! It’s so beautiful and inspiring, just like you. You continually remind me that my role as a homemaker is a gift, right down to the mundane.
It’s been a hard adjustment for me becoming a mom and house wife in my mid thirties after working in a career I loved, my heart wants to give my family and kids the best but my selfish side misses my independence. Your channel helps me find beauty in motherhood.
Wonderful video Lisa!!! I couldn’t agree with you more! I loved being at home with my girls and now living with my daughter and son in law and two granddaughters is a true blessing! I love taking care of them!!!
I love how you make keeping a home as simple as possible and focus on the important things and letting the other things not bother you. I love how you put so much love and thought into preparing food for your family. I love how your sweet little guy was crawling on the bed while you were trying to make it. That is real life right there. He just loved the tickle game. Your family is so blessed to have the love you put into keeping your home. I love seeing that sweet little baby sleeping on your chest as you work. Those cute little feet peeking out of the wrap are precious. Keep being you and inspiring others. Your blogs make me smile.
I love it.im home after working 20yrs.i stay bbn home with the granddaghter.i do all this now that I did years ago ,Again.!I love it and thank you for taking the guilt away from loving being home and a homemaker again.
I love this so much. I adore making our home beautiful and a place everyone wants to be. Cooking and nurturing my family simply brings me so much joy. 💕💕💕
God bless you and your family. I can see that you enjoy taking care for your family. You show your love by cooking delicious hot meals for them. Your children and your husband will always remember what you do. I encourage you to continue to do what you're doing. I too enjoy cooking for my family. It makes me happy when we sit together for dinner, and I see them enjoying the food I cook for them.
Dear Lisa You Are an amazing Mother and cook. You are so Blessed with such a wonderful family. I admire you being so young and cooking three full meals everyday for your family. Being a stay at home is not an easy job. I no as I was a stay at home when my children were young. That was along time ago. Thank you for sharing these videos. God bless you and your beautiful family 👪
love this! as a grandma my apron pockets are also always full . .and my grandchildren know my apron skirt is always there for many , many needs. . Homemaking is THE most important role . .it affects every aspect of our lives .. .
Gosh, Lisa, you always amaze me with your energy! Where's it coming from? :) You blog and make videos on top of it all! This video is such a blessing, homemaking is truly a gift we serve our family.
I’m really the only stay at home mom in my family. I worked right up until I had my first and never went back. My husband and I always knew I’d stay home with the kids but my family gave me hell. I love the life we chose for ourselves instead of listening to the negativity.
I feel women have been almost pushed to work outside our home, to succeed in the corporate world, to work long hours, to be managers. Almost nobody understands the true importance of having more homemakers in the world, raising happy kids, building successfull relationships, making a home beautiful, cozy and safe. I Believe in my heart that this is our most important role, it doesn't bother me if people think i'm old fashioned or against feminism
Agreed!!!
I am 26 and want to start a family with my hubby of 5 years and want this to be my life. Sadly we live very simply but live in a very expensive state. I will have to work at least part time if we have children. I think being a homemaker is absolutely beautiful 😍
Best job I have ever had. I so loved raising my three girls.
I’m happiest when I’m doing homely things. 🤗
Women’s Lib robbed us in my humble opinion. It just gave me two full time jobs neither of which I felt I could give enough attention to 🤯. After I retired from my corporate mgmnt position, I kept my two granddaughters for 4+ years. We played, baked, crafted, read, sang, took field trips, etc. and all 3 of us THRIVED. I feel guilty that I couldn’t do that with my own three kids 🥺
Nicely put Emily! 💕. What homemakers provide for the family is so priceless and for her husband to also commit to this way of living is huge.
“Never underestimate the value that you bring to your family.” Thank you for the encouragement! It feels countercultural to be a homemaker.
I love cooking and baking! But some says I wake up and just feel that push to clean. Homemaking is so beautiful and such a gift we can give to our families. Love this so much
I receive a lot of gruff from "successful" women in my life because I inspire to stay at home & raise my kids this way. Thank you for sharing the importance of this role, it's truly inspirational
I think it’s jealousy to some extent. Some women can’t stay home or were brought up where their worth was defined in “success”. It’s always an issue with them.
If a woman is blessed with a good husband and father to the children, she would be lucky to stay home and be a good loving wife, mother and teacher to her children. To make a warm cozy home with great smells coming from the kitchen is a wonderful gift for her family. What an excellent role in life.
If that’s what she truly wants to do, great!
I am a single momma of three teens. I have worked from home and built a business all while staying home and homeschooling my children. No husband, father or child support, just Jesus on my side helping me along the way💕
@@rooftopworship that’s phenomenal!
@@rooftopworship that is amazing! Great job! I stayed home with my first and was a single mom as well. My life was quite different but it was so worth it. I lived on food stamps and 400$ of child support a month, and my parents generosity of letting us stay in their downstairs apt. It was hard and i couldnt buy very much at all, but i wouldnt trade it for anything.
I wholeheartedly agree!
I love the term “home keeper”. It gives honor to the maintaining of a home. Setting things up is more “exciting”. But keeping it a home, day in and day out- that’s where the rubber meets the road. Such a gift to be content in your role. Happy New Year to you and your wonderful family Lisa.
Thank you delizabeth.......such a lovely comment here.
Beautiful comment and absolutely true. ❤️
Lisa, thank you for showcasing the role of the keeper of the home in such a positive way. It's obvious in your videos that you feel that way, but I appreciate you talking about it too. And your meal looks delicious.

I call it being a domestic goddess sometime because it brings a bit of heaven on earth!
I love it more power to you!
“I will correct them” 😄 I love it!!

Love this! “The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world.” There is nothing I like better than a day when I don’t have to leave my house! ~Charlotte
I literally love days I don’t have to leave the house!!
This was lovely. As a wife who has been home for 26 years, a Momma for 25, I've had some time to weed out what is and isn't important. The work we do in our homes IS important. It sets the foundation for everything else in life. It may be hard, and seem to be impossible at times, every bit of it is worth it.
I just turned 27 and not married yet nor kids but I literally feel like I’m at a cross roads for making the decision now to pursue homemaking and being a stay at home wife/mom vs. moving up the ladder in my career life. So crazy women have to choose but I vote for family any day of the week
I've been struggling with my "worth" as a full time stay at home mom of 2 and this was what I needed to hear. Thank you so much for making me feel better and realizing that what I do is hard work even if it doesn't seem it
Worth? Your mothering and homemaking skills are invaluable. You are the creator of good character, values, morals, and wonderful childhood memories for your family. There is nothing more valuable than this.
Im a homemaker.
Just realized that.
I always liked doing housework.
I cant work a "day job" because of rotten jealous people that are everywhere.
I take care of my home,my mother and my animals.
I know how to cook,clean,wash,repair and still learning.
"Never underestimate the value you bring to your home." Thank you for this reminder; I think I needed to hear that this morning.
I work full time in another industry where I gain a lot of personal fulfillment, but I appreciate homekeeping content because I do indeed keep a home. I’m not able (nor do I desire) to put the time into it that you do but I appreciate that the content you share can help me to take some of the guess work out. When people share recipes, or routines, or methods of doing things it can take away the experimental time of discovering things that someone can do when it’s their full time occupation.
For me, I was a homekeeper for a year and did not work. It was one of the hardest years for me personally and I really suffered during it. I don’t have to work, financially we are in a place where I could stay home, but I love my work.
In the end, what matters is that women go where they feel called to be. Where they can have a positive impact and where they feel at peace. For me, that isn’t always at home, but for some it is and I’m happy for them 😊
Well said!
I feel I need to be completely transparent. When I first became a mom in 2016, I didn’t know if I wanted to be a homemaker. With life happening I became a stay at home mom in 2016. There where many times I still fought myself on being a homemaker. Fast forward it’s 2022, and I’m pregnant with my 4th baby. I absolutely love being a homemaker because it brings me joy and happiness . I also homeschool and I truly cherish my children
I am the organizer and clean freak, much rather clean and tidy up than cook. That’s why you are so inspirational to me bc you encourage me to cook more homemade meals and to not put excessive pressure on myself to be this “perfect” stay at home mom. You always keep it authentic. Words cannot express my gratitude. 🥰🙏🏻
Me too! I can't stand shoes or coats or whatever to be on the floor. Cooking is tough for me. I'd rather be cleaning, decluttering and organizing.
Everyone has there own special gifts
I have often strive to be more the cleaner.
Yes! Same. I can clean and organize all day long, but Lisa definitely inspires me to spend more time in the kitchen nourishing my family.
My thoughts exactly
Same
A beautiful documentation of the everyday life. I myself feel so blessed when I come across my children's little messes. Dealing with fertility issues has made me more thankful for the life I have.
The best thing you said in this whole video is that the best part of your day is taking care of your family. As a mom with children in their 30's, I can say that this is the most important part of every day. Your children are watching and they know that you love them by the actions you are taking. Seriously, this makes me cry happy tears :)
My whole life I’ve only ever heard from my mom that she loves taking care of our home . 🖤 She certainly doesn’t go unnoticed around here and she makes sure my dad doesn’t go unnoticed either in his work. They’re a team. ✨
Morning Lisa .. Your an amazing beautiful woman!! You’re family is so blessed to have such a mother and beautiful wife!!!
The fibers of this country would be much more stronger and better with more women like you…☺️
I agree!
Amen so true!
The comment about your best day is being at home taking care of the family, I'm the same way. I have to work outside the home but I've been off between Christmas and New Years and days that I get to be home are the best!! I love watching you work in your kitchen, one of your boys behind you seems to be drying some dishes and your other children are working with you in the kitchen. Such a blessing and wonderful memories you are making.
You are also making wonderful memories. Sometimes when work outside the home we can appreciate when we are home so much more.
@@judybaugus2909 that’s a great point as well!
I haven’t finished watching this but the words on the thumbnail said “keeper of the home” which sounds so epic if you say it like Gandalf from Lord of the rings… or some awesome epic story where there is the “keeper of the gate” or “keeper of treasures” and the like… because as much as there’s the ordinary, “I picked up this room and washed these dishes 3 times already today” tasks, those tasks are important and a mom in the home has a very important job beyond what is tangible and what can be seen from the outside looking in.
It's the way God intended for women to stay home and take care of the family you are doing a wonderful job
I have been feeling in a rut with all the repetition. Thank you for the beautiful and gentle reminder that our work is sacred. This is my favorite video of yours to date.
Joanne Phillippi---- you have the most important job in the world and don't think the grass is greener on the other side of the fence, it isn't. You can believe there is plenty of repetition in the outside work world. If you feel in a rut, figure out some things to shake it up a little --do something different each day, allow yourself some fun with the kids (housework can wait sometimes)and remember to carve out a little time for yourself here and there ---for your sanity 😜No body is perfect, don't sweat the small stuff, yada yada yada.
Your videos have a very emotional effect on me. They take me back to when my children were toddlers and the joy they brought to my heart. I was a stay at home mom when it was very uncool to do so. I loved every moment of it, even the time we struggled financially. All of my adult children say to me that they had a happy childhood. What more could a mother wish to hear.
My husband thinks I’m crazy when I tell him that if I could have another baby I would do it.
We have 14 grandchildren and they are all teenagers now. I miss having an infant to cuddle with. You are truly blessed and a wonderful homemaker.
I wish I had a baby carrier like yours, it’s gratifying to watch you do everything with your son so close to your heart.
Happy New Year and God bless you and your family. ❤️
Thank you. I needed this reminder. My mother took great pride in being a homemaker. My parents had a business. We grew up with her working full time in the home for the home and the family business. She was proud to be doing both jobs. She excelled at both. I do not think she ever received the recognition that she deserved. She had self satisfaction, self motivation. Recognition was not there. I feel bad that we as children or adults never gave her that, for herself or her hard work put forth daily. Looking back we took advantage of her. She sewed many of our clothes 60 years ago. Made her own stylish clothes. Baked bread, made pasta. Walked a mile to the farmer down the road to get fresh milk with 5 kids in and out of a wagon. Taught us tennis, manners, canning, music, ast and so much more. I could go on. Thank you for carrying on traditions that so many women excelled at with little to no recognition.
This right here. I think back in the day, homemakers were not appreciated. Most had no financial resources to get out of a bad marriage if needed. People talk about women’s lib etc but I think Womens lib gave women a CHOICE to stay home and now good marriages with appreciated stay at home moms exist. In fact a lot of stay at home moms I know I have college degrees but chose to stay home. People don’t realize this but with women now having more “power” than they used to, indirectly the men they marry have more respect for them and when they stay home, they are appreciated and the marriages are more where they are respectful of each other.
@@gunnikr agree
I wish to bring this back!
@@gunnikr that’s actually a good point
Your family is so blessed!
Hello jackie, how are you doing today .
God bless the keepers of the home. There are so many skills and values to be passed down. I’m so thankful everyday for getting to be a homemaker and raise my children. Now I have grands and work but thankful just the same. Bless you all hope you have a Happy New Year.
After a morning of preparing breakfast, getting the kiddos ready, and prepping a lunch for my husband, grocery shopping, restocking the fridge and pantry, I am finally able to sit down and have some lunch. I'll be honest I have more to take care of today and I was feeling overwhelmed but the serene and relatable content in your video helped me to relax. If you can take care of your home and 7 kids then I can manage just two kids and an apartment. Thanks for the motivation!
I was lucky enough to be a full time mum for both of my children and then for both of my grandchildren 🤗 they have all gone to lives of their own. I now work full time as a teaching assistant at a school for special needs, I love it but it keeps me away from looking after my home. I miss baking, sewing oh just making home but these kids I work with bring so much joy. Oh by the way I am 62 years young. Absolutely love your family. Take care and stay safe 🤗
Stay home friend. Do what calls to your heart.
so blessed to see a woman serving her family and embracing homemaking. so difficult, but rewarding. thank you for this calm and encouraging video.
I can’t express how beautiful this video is. All the ways we homekeepers serve our family and create a beautiful, comforting, safe environment for our families ought not be taken for granted or underestimated. It’s a big job and a rewarding one with the right attitude and understanding of purpose. Thank you for your encouragement and videos.
you are so welcome!
As someone who has been a mom of 4 for almost 22 years, I am so happy to see younger women find joy in being a homemaker. I started out working full time with my first two boys, and it really wasn’t making sense for almost my entire paycheck to go to daycare. So we made the decision for me to pursue being a personal trainer and Pilates instructor. This allowed me to take my boys with me to work and be there for them. 2 more kids later (14 and 16) and I find the work is just as needed as it was when they were little. The house still needs to be cleaned and we have chickens and I started a garden. I cook every meal here and all our kids still live at home. Sometimes times have been super tight with money, however I have learned so much over the years and wouldn’t trade any of this for any amount of money.
Omg I been doing this for years, and now with 9 children and building a business, I have to admit that when you said never underestimate the value you bring I couldn't help but cry. I had started feeling like my work was really going unappreciated, at least, maybe I didn't appreciate myself so much. I do this stuff all the time and never took the time to really appreciate it. Omg thank you for making this and remembering us keepers of the home. You are amazing.
I have always felt so envious of mothers who have the privilege of being able to be a stay at home mum or full time home keeper, I worked two nights a weeks as a nurse while my boys were small to maintain a very modest lifestyle and realise I spent most of those years exhausted.
Being a mum can be hard but it’s the best job in the world x
You are a super woman, I am so challenged with how you worked seamlessly with the baby in a pouch. Love how you first dressed them up and ensured they are warm❤
Love, love this video. Does Theo sleep better all snuggled with you than in a bassinets? He looks so cozy and happy. You are an amazing Mom and homemaker. I imagine snow days are fun with hot cocoa and soup cooking while the children play in the snow. Bless your family!
Susan I agree 100% they are a precious! Happy new year 🎉
Lisa does not try to put her babies down at this stage. She says they are in her wrap all day every day for around six months. It does look super cozy.
@@SNHa-mw7kg Thanks for letting me know. Gosh how cozy is that and so calming and naturing for a newborn Happy New Year to you. God Bless
@@HomeFrugalicious Happy New Year also. God Bless you.
I wrapped my baby's a lot as well! It's one of my best memories of my 2 baby boys. It felt super cozy and snuggerly!❤
I just love this! When I got married 3.5 years ago, I had not a clue how to cook a thing, even a quesadilla! I have always hated cooking because it didn’t come naturally to me and I’d become easily fatigued in the kitchen from my chronic illness. My husband taught me how to cook, and finally as I’m in my final month of our first pregnancy, I am growing more and more eager to begin from scratch cooking as soon as I have an ounce of energy once our little boy is born. I just loved this video because it put into focus what I’ve been storing up in my heart the last few months, that I love and long to do- be a God-honoring homemaker. I’ve been the opposite of you, where I’ve hated cooking and loved the organizing side of homemaking. Now I’m excited to experience the joy of making food for my family along with making our home a haven.
I’m totally the same way! Love the cooking and food! Excited to be reaching towards our goal of a homestead 🙏🏼
So refreshing to affirm all these things I love doing for my family, and seeing you do them with so much passion really affirms the value of this essential care.
The children feel so secure. Just to hear the sounds ... or our presence and the real work done...
I carried my children too while working in the home and to this day they love home and family.
Hello Lisa! Just want to let you know that you are such an inspiration! Thank you for sharing the real! We are a farm family and we homeschool as well! We have cattle, sheep, goats, bunnies, puppies, miniature donkeys, miniature horses, birds, etc… Our fourteen year old girl is the voice behind our channel! We just wanted to reach out to you and thank you for inspiring us by doing your day in the life of you!! We hope you and your dear family have a blessed New Year!
What a beautiful way to “serve your family” by taking care of the house!! Sometimes, I forget that and I thank you for reminding me of it!!
I am 34 and have been a SAHM for two years. I went to college, traveled, and had a career. At times I feel like I am not living up to people’s expectations because I don’t work outside the home anymore. I sometimes internalize that, get down on myself, and start wondering if I should go back to work. But I love our life! We are all happy, the kids are thriving, and there is less stress and “grind.” Not that it’s always sunshine and roses, but this is working for us all. I remember growing up with two working parents and the stress and anxiety were always through the roof. Once my brother became a teenager he was almost never home to get away from it. I really appreciate hearing from people who value this work.
Thank you for this, I am a full-time homemaker and I've had people say to me "what do you do all day long," it used to bother me, but, not anymore, because I love it! I know I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing and it makes me so joyful. I love your videos
I have loved being a homemaker all my life.
I'd love being a full time homemaker.
Be proud of yourself and be a shining example to those people! I'm starting to realize more and more how important homemakers are!
Yes, I always say I am a stay at home (bring in NO money either) but I say it in a way that people know better than to belittle me 😂
I’m a guy and I totally respect stay at home Mom’s not at all cause I’m a male chauvinist, I respect women that work and go to college also but the stay at home mother is so special to me more then ever with what’s going on in our country today…. It’s so so important for a good family foundation and with that foundation good morals ,values, respect, bonding and so much more grows from that!!!! You woman are more important than ever today and I appreciate and applaud all of you 👏👏👏
Lisa, you are such a blessing to us all. You are a true Proverbs 31 woman. Happy New Year !!
Who else can change the world more but we who keep the home? ❤️ thank you for you calming and motivational videos! I don’t know how you do it all- cooking, babies, video editing etc. but we are all cheering you on!
thank you so much!
Being a wife, mom and keeper of the home is the best part of my life also. And being Nana to 5 grandsons and 1 granddaughter
I am young woman working in the corporate world. While my work gives me so much joy and purpose, I also love (some!) homemaking, and I have a lot of respect for full time homemakers. I’m choosing to not have children, but I love making a warm space and comforting foods ❤️
Hats off to you full-time homemakers! True feminism is cheering on either choice 🥰
I totally agree!
YOU ARE JUST LIKE ME , YOU SHOULD FOLLOW CHOKI ,SHE IS A SINGLE WORKING HOMEMAKER
Wow you had the definition of homemaking spot on 🙏🏼 your an awesome mama and wife look at those homemade meals you made and the peaceful home you provide for your family. Your a huge blessing to them and they are likewise our blessings. God bless 😊
I feel like you-my favorite days are the days where we stay home. And the kitchen is definitely my happy place.
❤️✨🏡…Beautiful Simplicity, Lisa❤️✨ I love how you found Joy in the every day tasks!🌈
This is how I always wanted my life to be. I am thankful that my husband finally saw how truly miserable I was out working and how truly happy and content I am to be at home for the last few months taking care of the home, cooking, baking, fermenting, all my little projects. This is truly my happy place! Thank you so much Lisa for letting us see this beautiful part of your life. Such a joy! ❤️
Theos itty bitty baby foot sticking out😍😍😍❤
Thank you so much for making this video. You've inspired me a lot over the years. I once did a day in the life thing on my Instagram stories and just shared what I do all day. I made the mistake of asking the question if people where interested in more stories like that. 80% said no. I probably just don't have the audience yet. But, I'm a stay at home mom and your video is a lot like...how my story was. Thanks for sharing, haven't watched in a long time.
AMEN! Thank you to our homemakers everywhere! Your are important to our society, don't let anyone tell you that you aren't!
❤️❤️❤️
This video unexpectedly brought me to tears. Quiet, peaceful tears. What a beautiful life you lead. Your family is so blessed to have such a strong, dedicated mother at the head of the home. You inspire me. Thank you for allowing us into your life in this way. ❤️🙏🏻
You're such a great mom and homemaker!
You have created the perfect home imo. I would spend all day in the garden if I could. God bless!
Thank you for all you do and for especially the encouragement for keeping a home. I'm 26, pregnant with our 4th and often it seems endless. I love to come watch you while I'm doing dishes and be inspired. You're amazing!
I love your stove, it reminds me of the stove my grandma had when I was a kid. We baked a lot of cookies in that oven. I was very sad when it stopped working and was replaced by a modern one (back in the 90s). I have good memories of those amazing times with my grandma. Love your videos, thank you for sharing. 🥰
Reading these comments and watching you being proud to be a homemaker really lights me up and makes me emotional at the same time. I feel like all of this exposure I’m getting about homemaking is truly being aligned with my true purpose in this world. Only God knows but I’m excited to see where life takes me. Thank you for showcasing the beautiful essence of being proud to be home 🏡
Being home to care for your family is such a blessing! I wouldn’t have it any other way💕
A woman’s work is never done.
That stew you made looked so good but that last meal you made oh how yummy it was even though I couldn’t taste it.
I don’t what was but love to know the recipes. Thanks Lisa enjoyed this video a lot. ♥️😊👍👍
Seeing your daughter being involved so much really warms my heart. I love how you are raising her to model the role of a wife one day. It will be rare to find a woman who naturally takes care of the home and she will be treasured for that. You are an amazing mother and wife. I can't explain how important this is. Your channel brings relief that not all homes are so lost on the web. It's so much peaceful and natural to see your kids involved with everyday life skills. Beautiful. You're doing great, Mama! ❤
Thank you so much!!!
Amen. So beautiful 💓 thank you for sharing. And I’m loving all the comments as well.
No job more honorable or more important ! God bless you Lisa and your beautiful family 🙏🏻♥️
I love these videos so much, I’ve been binge watching all of your videos for the past couple weeks. You inspire me so much. I am currently pregnant with my third baby and I have a 1.5 year old and a 7.5 month old. Always motivating me to keep taking care of things.
Congratulations!
This is the kind of Channel I’ve been looking for! Can’t wait to binge
Thank you Lisa! It’s so easy for us women to underestimate what we do. This video warmed my heart. ❤️
Thank you so much for this video. Your words of how important our job truly is gives me inspiration. I left corporate to stay home with our kids and sometimes (especially when around those who don’t understand what we “do all day”) I feel defeated. We don’t get vacation or time off. But I love my job. I just wish others understood it a bit better. 💙
You are valuable. Please don't feel defeated by people who are on the corporate hamster wheel, but be a shining example!
@@daisyj5837 💙!
Dear Lisa! Keep such videos coming! Thank you so much for this one!
When asked what I do; I’m a Domestic Management and Logistics Specialist with a focus in Inventory Processing and Budget Analytics. My second job is full time school teacher. I work nights, weekends, and holidays. 🙌🏻😆
What an amazing video!! As a homesteader and homeschooling SAHM, this spoke so much truth of my life and all I ever wanted to be since my earliest memory was a wife and mother. Content aside, the work into the videos here are incredible. Top notch!
My favorite video from you yet!!! You expressed how I feel about homemaking perfectly. Thank you for sharing the blessed and wonderful life you live with all of us.
Homemaking is a beautiful career & calling! You presented it so well.♥️. Thank you for sharing!!
It's nice to see a young woman care for her family the way that you do. I can tell cooking and baking is your thing.
Thanks for posting this! Love the quiet slowness of it!
Such a beautiful video! Thank you for the wonderful reminders of our worth.
Thank you for giving value to the homemaker!
I never understood when women say there bored 😐 I’m a care giver of my wonderful 87 year old mom whom lives with my husband and I And homestead on our our land raising chickens , bees, food and 💕 love working hard I am blessed beyond measure! Thank you for encouraging others on your beautiful journey called life😊 God bless!
This was a very encouraging video. A mother/homemaker’s work is never done, but most rewarding. It has been the best job of my life!!
I sure appreciated this video. I especially appreciated that you said how valuable taking care of a family is. 25 years ago it was considered lazy. “ I couldn’t stay home and do nothing all day.” Is what we heard.
It’s so soothing watching your videos. Absolutely enjoy them.
Lisa this video made me so emotional! It’s so beautiful and inspiring, just like you. You continually remind me that my role as a homemaker is a gift, right down to the mundane.
It’s been a hard adjustment for me becoming a mom and house wife in my mid thirties after working in a career I loved, my heart wants to give my family and kids the best but my selfish side misses my independence. Your channel helps me find beauty in motherhood.
Wonderful video Lisa!!! I couldn’t agree with you more! I loved being at home with my girls and now living with my daughter and son in law and two granddaughters is a true blessing! I love taking care of them!!!
I love how you make keeping a home as simple as possible and focus on the important things and letting the other things not bother you. I love how you put so much love and thought into preparing food for your family. I love how your sweet little guy was crawling on the bed while you were trying to make it. That is real life right there. He just loved the tickle game. Your family is so blessed to have the love you put into keeping your home. I love seeing that sweet little baby sleeping on your chest as you work. Those cute little feet peeking out of the wrap are precious. Keep being you and inspiring others. Your blogs make me smile.
I love it.im home after working 20yrs.i stay bbn home with the granddaghter.i do all this now that I did years ago ,Again.!I love it and thank you for taking the guilt away from loving being home and a homemaker again.
Gorgeous music and I love the beautiful dressing of the baby 💕💕💕
I love this so much. I adore making our home beautiful and a place everyone wants to be. Cooking and nurturing my family simply brings me so much joy. 💕💕💕
God bless you and your family. I can see that you enjoy taking care for your family. You show your love by cooking delicious hot meals for them. Your children and your husband will always remember what you do. I encourage you to continue to do what you're doing. I too enjoy cooking for my family. It makes me happy when we sit together for dinner, and I see them enjoying the food I cook for them.
Dear Lisa You Are an amazing Mother and cook. You are so Blessed with such a wonderful family. I admire you being so young and cooking three full meals everyday for your family. Being a stay at home is not an easy job. I no as I was a stay at home when my children were young. That was along time ago. Thank you for sharing these videos. God bless you and your beautiful family 👪
love this! as a grandma my apron pockets are also always full . .and my grandchildren know my apron skirt is always there for many , many needs. . Homemaking is THE most important role . .it affects every aspect of our lives .. .
It's definitely a full time job on it's own! Thank you Lisa!
I love this!!!❤ My heart is in the home too😊 My most favorite place is being home taking care of my family. This is just wonderful Lisa💕
I also love taking care of my home and family! I still work a full time job teaching, but now that I do it virtually, I love the balance I have found!
Gosh, Lisa, you always amaze me with your energy! Where's it coming from? :) You blog and make videos on top of it all! This video is such a blessing, homemaking is truly a gift we serve our family.
I’m really the only stay at home mom in my family. I worked right up until I had my first and never went back. My husband and I always knew I’d stay home with the kids but my family gave me hell. I love the life we chose for ourselves instead of listening to the negativity.
