I had a wise friend tell me once, “Too many good things is still too many things.” I always think about that when I’m realizing our schedule is getting too full. They may all be great learning activities but it can STILL be too many things!
Good advice!
I’m disabled and no longer able to have a normal life. I’ve been living vicariously through you lately. I was a super organized mama, organic gardener, gymnastics coach. I’m not stuck in my bed for about 80% of the day. But God is good and has taught me so much. I now have peace and joy again bc of Jesus Christ. I’ve always dreamed of having a life like yours. I commend all the hard work it takes to conquer all the everyday tasks. The photography and videography is so beautiful. You are such an amazing and beautiful human. Ur videos always help me to feel a little more normal. Thank you. Love the cute skirt too!! ❤
Thank you so much! I appreciate the kind words and your story is very encouraging for all of us too!
Jesus is Lord! My prayers are with you 🙏 I don’t know your situation, but as someone who was in bed without walking or going to the bathroom by herself, I am humbled by your capacity to shine so much harmony and love and kindness through your comment in a time of challenge. Against all odds, here I am healthy and walking every day. I’m wishing you all the best 🙏💫💕
I’m also disabled so yeah same ❤
I’m with you. I used to be very productive while taking time to enjoy life. I’m now relegated to the bed 24/7. It’s so frustrating. I’m sorry you’re going through this too. 🙏
Between the rain and the piano, the audio in this video was so lovely.
Your son jumping on the freshly made bed was so cute and reminded me how my now grown son would love to do that too. That enclosure you have for your babies crib is a great idea... I've not seen that before.
To keep your pesto bright green, wait to salt your pasta water and blanch the basil leaves for 10sec once its boiling. Dunk them straight in ice water and lay them out to dry for a few. Keeps the pesto from browning.
Lisa, I appreciate all your good content. You are being used by the Lord to teach the younger generation! (Even us oldies too!)
The rain didn't stop the boys from going for a ride.
Love the sound of the rain.
The sunflower bouquet is so lovely!
I love seeing your beautiful old house and the scenery of your flower garden and property..its like living in a 🖼 painting🎨🖌
🚨People w/ nut allergies-
I use pumpkin seeds (or pepitas) for my pesto!
I soak them in hot water for a while to help soften and blend better in the finished product
Omg thank you! My toddler has a nut allergy and I really miss pesto. Been researching but hadn’t found any good substitutes.

You’re welcome!

I do love seeing children out playing in summer rain!!!
Theres a good saying " cut your cloth accordingly" and i find having that mind set stops you worrying about money. People seem to always be chasing more money . Yes it gives you or allows you to do what you want but i have found it does not make you any happier. When my family were children we would make a picnic and go to the beach during the summer holidays or just a take a drive down at the week end and take anyone who wanted to come with us. Those were lovely days. People waste money on things like coffee and sandwiches instead of making them at home . Yes im getting older but i see where some people will just do not see how much they spend. Anyway thank you for sharing. I do enjoy watching your home life and its a great way to make money. What a great life for children:)
You are so right! Having money only solves the money problem, it certainly does not solve any of life's other problems. My husband and I raised 4 children during times of unemployment and underemployment for my husband. We really struggled for years. But now the kids are all grown and we have a much more financially stable life. However, the other issues and problems of life have not magically gone away. I think it's so important to find the joys of life beyond what money can bring. ❤
I LOVE that you talked about a "time budget!" I always feel like time is an even more valuable resource than money.
I now cook for my grandchildren and they love it when I visit with goodies. It fills my heart ❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@karengear5254 nannas have the best food
Also a braid tutorial? Like your hair in this video,I’d love to learn that 🤗
That’s a Dutch braid. There’s plenty of tutorials if you search for that. (“Katniss braid” or “Elsa braid” might also yield results.)
@@kaylar3197 thank you so much!
@@rachaelmilne5574 You are most welcome!
I just do a dutch braid.
We are big Dave Ramsey fans too. Hey, did you know there’s a kids game he has out called “act your wage”? It’s a board game resembling the game of LIFE. It’s so fun and gets the kids learning of course as well. Love your videos, Lisa. Always gets me motivated to get up and tackle a project or make a yummy meal.
My kids love the Cash Flow board game too, my husband and I love it and have learned a lot from it too
❤The heatwave finally broke and my body was pushed to the brink of exhaustion for 4 weeks. I baked 3 quiche yesterday for quick grab breakfasts to save time in the am. My husband and I picked tomatoes last night before dinner so they’re laid to for fresh eating. Now I’m baking sourdough flat bread and tortillas. Not every meal has to be freshly made. Leftovers are lovely to take advantage of days when you just need a rest. 😊
Yes, I always say to make extra if you are in the kitchen anyway...we love leftovers especially on the weekends
Your videos are always so refreshing as a homemaker. Thank you for being so inspiring!
Lisa, this was such an enjoyable and calming video to watch. Thank you for sharing your rainy day with us. At 56 years old, I wish my days were filled with homemaking and slowing down. I do work full time and have a 40 minute commute each way. It makes for a very long day. Weekends are sometimes slow, which is always lovely. Did you make your skirt? It is really pretty.
There's nothing so peaceful & relaxing as the sound of rain!!!!
Lisa, I love you and feel like we could be best friends. You're way better at everything than I am but my heart is right there with you as I remember with fondness the days of nurturing my family with homecooked meals and an orderly and God-fearing home. My children are grown and have children and grandchildren of their own. I still love taking care of my house and cooking from scratch!
DECLUTTERING IS IMPERATIVE
I absolutely love being home. I feel when I go to town or the big city I lose a a day and I feel behind on chores. Never fails when I leave the farm ❤
Thank you Lisa , I can't have enough of your inspiring videos. I praise God for blesssing you so abundantly. May he bless you and your family.
Thank you so much!
I love keeping a big jar of roasted tomatoes in the fridge topped with good olive oil. It stays fresh in cold storage for a very long time and it’s great heated up with crusty bread and a salad or with chicken like you made or over leftover pasta. I like to add a quality balsamic and lemon juice and whatever herbs I have on hand. It’s so versatile and takes minimal effort. This is one of the ways I give myself time on busy days.
I love this idea!
I take my phone or an old tablet to the kitchen and Lisa and I cook together or do some chores. Im in motion with her and it doesn't feel so lonely or daunting to get through the rhythm of homemaking. Been doing this with various cooking shows i used to record, and now Lisa. We all need encouragement, don't give up momma's it does get easier❤
The way you dodged his sweet little toddler kick when you were playing with your son on the bed, I so relate. Playing with your boys is an agility test every time just to make it out in one piece. Every time I invite some rough housing with them I have to count the cost 😂
Do y’all not have mosquitoes? I wish I could open my windows every day. I live in eastern nc and let me tell you, summer here is melting season 🫠
So beautiful. Do you have additional help with your children? I can't get over how peaceful your cooking and cleaning times are. It's what I dream of.
My husband and I both work from home on our business so no we do not have help with the kids...we really don't need it.
@@FarmhouseonBoone What a blessing! Thanks for using your platform to inspire fellow moms
This is such a needed word. Diligence. Yes.
You mentioned your new farm. Perhaps I missed it but can you tell us more?
I was wondering the same thing.
Same!
I heard that too, but assume she meant her sisters new farm?
You all must have missed some videos! I shared a while back that we purchased land with a creek. I have shared some short video clips of it on this channel. That is where look takes the boys for adventure and all of us love going to sit by and play in the creek.
@@FarmhouseonBoone Ok! Not sure how I missed that but I did! Congrats!
I love your channel. To calming and helps to remind me to see the beauty in my life.
I'm so glad!
All you had to say was family of 10 and I liked your video, you must be amazing to look after such a large family everyday.
What a sweet little crib in your room! I’ve never seen one with curtains. Brilliant!
It is a wrought iron canopy crib and I made the curtains for it to help block out the sun and make it a bit quieter for the baby....he has moved out of our room recently but it worked really well.
I love a rainy day, seems like I can accomplish a lot more while it’s raining! ❤
Lovely Lisa, I adore rainy days. As a retired grandma, I adore lounging all day on my porch, snoozing on and off listening to the rain and especially during cooler weather. I have given myself permission to be lazy here and there. I keep up with the basics, and the occasional deep clean. I don’t have any junk drawers, and have always been a very organized person, so up keep is relatively easy. Of course, it’s only the hubby and me. Outside takes more of my time these days. Chickens and gardens!😉
Another wonderful learning experience. Thank you for making the time and effort to help the rest of us along!
❤ I have a day planner for every day of the year which helps me remember appointments, activities and I write in things accomplished in the day to stay aware of my life’s activities. I’ve been using a day planner for 40 years! I look back at the year every December when I fill in the new planner with important dates to remember and love seeing all I’ve accomplished in a year that I’ve possibly forgotten. 😊
Would love to hear or see more about your day planner - sounds very interesting!
I made myself a home declutter challenge that will take me 11 weeks. We moved to this home in 2020 and had our daughter last June. We had put most things in our basement and then were given so much stuff for our little girl. I need to declutter the things that we don't need because I just can't handle it anymore
I have been a homemaker for a bit over 26 years, and yet I learn so much from your thoughtfulness. My children are young adults now, but I encourage everyone to seek ways to continue to build and expand upon your family culture and invest in your children. Thank you for sharing, Lisa! ❤ xo
Thank you for adding this encouraging comment! My kids are young and I’ve been working to build my homemaking skills. I love the idea of creating family culture ❤
Really good advice even for those of us who no longer have kids at home. It’s a good reminder of being a good steward of time and money.
Instead of water in the pesto add heavy cream. It is *the* best. Don't know why i only figured it out recently.
Such a wonderful video. Love the sound of the rain. Ohio really needs some. Thanks for all the great info. Sometimes just need a little reminder
Your videos are so encouraging and such wonderful reminders on the real things in life that matter. ❤️
Thank you so much!
❤❤❤Love seeing you all getting out in the rain. As a child, we loved running and playing in the rain. Sometimes we'd put on our swin suits to do so. It was so refreshing. As usual, I love your content. Thank you for sharing your life with us.❤❤❤
I love your peaceful narration as you share your thoughts with us. This video was perfect for me to enjoy while folding a load of laundry.
I would love to open my windows without screens but where I live we have knats, flies and mosquitoes. You have a beautiful home. So welcoming and lots of coziness❤
Just redid all our window screens. It's a game changer and DIY saves a ton of money and so easy.❤
We have screens but the little buggers (pun intended haha) still find their way in. And opening the door to take out the garbage or hang laundry up is like rolling out the red carpet. Somehow, over the course of 2 days, we accumulated over 30 house flies JUST from opening the door a dozen or so times. That's insane!!
So glad you're loving our skin serum. Loved the message in this video, friend! ❤
youve definitely motivated me to be more diligent about keeping my home, im still not perfect at it but atleast im still managing to keep the home relatively nice! and been trying to declutter weekly lol
Same! It is a process with no end when you're keeping a house!😂
Appreciate all your videos and wisdom! I miss the old style of videos & vlogs 🥲
Good comparison between managing our finances and managing our life responsibilities. When I paused to consider it at our age of retirement and grandchildren I could see that it still fits and could also see that we’ve been navigating in a similar way without realizing. That without the same pressures and responsibilities of our youth we can ‘afford’ to give much more into our grown children and grandchildren at this stage.
Your content is always so thoughtful and inspiring. I love watching your channel!
thank you!
HAPPY FRIDAY Lisa, family, fur babies, and feathered friends. Enjoy your weekend. STTB
I'm 60 years old. I've been married for 40 years and our priorities have always been our family, love, support, good nutrition and the ability to pay our bills (my husband works full time and I have always worked part time when my children each reached the age of 2). I have 4 children and 6 grandchildren. It's lovely to see that you also value these traditions. We've always cooked from scratch, with the very occasional takeaway or ready meal.
We also grow some of our own produce. Herbs and fruit mainly. There's nothing like a home cooked meal. I'd rather cook something than eat out to be honest! BTW, I am extremely envious of your vintage American stove....I would love to own one. I'm from the UK and they're very expensive to import!
I love the idea of having a trunk of some kind in each bedroom in which to put the clean bedsheets! Very convenient and much easier to keep track of the bedding. That'll free up a linen closet in the hallway for all the spare quilts and duvets in my house that currently do not have homes and are clutter! 🧡
TH-cam didn't suggest this to me today, even though I had the bell on. I thought maybe since you did an extra video earlier this week that was it, but I searched anyway and found this. Hope a lot of other people don't miss out like I almost did.
Thank you for sharing the rain. I live in western Colorado and don’t get to see/hear it very often.
The wonderful sound of rain! Such a beautiful video.
Love these videos!! Especially when it's cloudy here while watching 😊 Such an inspiration to me! I'm starting homeschool this year and super excited about it!
You got this!
I love Dave Ramsey! His financial advice is awesome. I’ve been debt free for years. It’s fun to hear you talk about him. 😊
My mom followed Dave Ramsey and taught me how to do my finances when I was a kid and I have used a lot of it into my life and am thankful for it. The meal you made looks amazing.
Love the mix bedding you have. Love seeing you play with your baby.
This is nice and motivational and you earn your beautiful life. I'd find it easier to get more done if I were getting paid for it and living somewhere I loved. Housework can also just be repetitive drudgery and "wasting time" with entertainment can be helpful to keep one's morale up. Saying this as a homeschooling mother of five.
I agree in the since that so much of our enjoyment and fulfillment comes from our mindset.
Oh Lisa, I would love a rainy day like that. Your home was so peaceful. I just loved it! Ty.
Living a life of consistency, being a constant in the life of your family, teaches your children how to live in this crazy world. Thank you for your example in life, may God bless you.
I just did this with my sock drawer! 😆. I looked probably thought a hundred times that I needed to clean it out, and never did. When I finally made time, it took about 10 minutes. I’m going to keep trying to do one drawer a day. This was perfect for right now ❤
One drawer at a time will add up quickly!
I LOOOOOVED everything about this video. I never miss a video and enjoy them all but, this was so great... Your lil' ones are SOOO BLONDE! Victor is growing fast! Such a cutie pie! 🤗 I am a single mother of ONE adult child (24) our lives are very different but, I jus love your videos. Thank you for sharing your life with us. God bless! ❤
So hard to de-clutter when my husband wants to keep everything. I find myself resenting him!
Order as best you can and just love him,. I do hear you, Friend. I know it’s hard to not be exceedingly frustrated!
I can so relate to this. My husband has a hoarding disorder, and doesn't think he needs counseling. I am a cancer survivor with several health conditions that limit what I can do, so a simplified house would be the only way I could stay on top of things. When I start to feel like the struggle is him-against-me, I find it helps to reframe things in my mind. I stop and remember WHY I want a decluttered house. It's for the peace, and because I want to be a good homemaker and take care of my family well, and because I want to practice hospitality and represent God's kingdom well.
Peace: being honest with him in a loving way and enlisting him to help me figure out how to make the house functional brings a lot more peace than resenting him. I also ask myself which brings more peace: an organized home, or a strong marriage?
Homemaking: I have to stop and think about how I define being a good homemaker. Does it mean having an organized home? Does it mean that the house is pretty? Does it mean that everything is handled when it should be and I am able to stick to schedules and stay on top of things? No, because of my family's unique needs, those things can't be the standard by which I judge myself. For me, being a good homemaker means that I prioritize my family's health, there's food when people are hungry, everybody has something clean to wear, and everybody feels loved and cared for. At the end of the day, I don't ask myself if the house is clean; I ask myself if I spent my time well.
Representing the kingdom: this is the toughest for me. My answer to this has to be that I can only do what I can do. Most of the time, we don't have a lot of people over. There are a few people who have known and loved us for years, who understand the challenges I face, and don't judge me. Those people come into my house regardless of what it looks like, and I focus on feeding them, making them tea, spending time with them, whatever, instead of what they're seeing. If someone outside of that circle needs to be in our home because they have a crisis, I have to let go of my pride and prioritize ministry. Either they become part of the inner circle eventually, or they drift out of our lives, and hopefully they will remember that I showered them with God's love, rather than what my house looked like.
My husband sees security in keeping things, and I have to remind myself that, in his own way, he is also trying to take care of us. When he brings something in, or refuses to let go of something that we obviously do not need, it helps us be on the same team if I ask a lot of questions. What are we going to use it for? OK, then it sounds like it needs to be stored . Oh, look. That's full. OK, how do we make it fit? Maybe if you're keeping this, then we don't need that other thing that fills the same need. Which one works better? OK, if you're keeping them both, then what else can leave this space to make them both fit? That sort of thing keeps it us-against-the-problem instead of him-against-me.
I hope some of this will help you. Much love.
Such a sage at a young age! Love your tips, advice, and real-world wisdoms shared. Thanks for another enlightening snapshot of your beautiful life.
Watching your channel reminds me of how easy you have it ~ compared to my mother in the 30's... family of 11, children helped w/chores daily; in fact ...
My mother & 1 of her sisters created/designed a shower for their dad~ I am thankful I didn't have to do that today... my point?
Perhaps in today's modern times, women need direction on how to manage a large family.
Cuddos to you !
Loved this video! Thank you 🤎
I really struggle with house chores. I’m thankful for my family. It’s frustrating seeing my friends and coworkers enjoy the fruit of their labor. They travel and do family activities. All me and my husband do is work AND still behind on bills
Traveling is not that fun
It is so expensive now and and people are using credit cards to do this which will increase stress at home.

thank you!
I love every aspect of your life. My prayer is to structure my life in the same simplicity. ❤ Thank you for the encouragement.
Would you mind sharing a list of things in your budget/not in your budget anymore, that are unnecessary? If people want to comment too that would be great! This way we can be aware of what others consider unnecessary and open some ideas for things we can consider changing! Thank you!
I have talked about this more in depth over on The Simple Farmhouse Life podcast and TH-cam channel
Can we have more content like this one, I’ve listened to it for the 14th time 😍
Your videos are so inspiring. I just watched this one twice back-to-back!
Love that black and white checkered skirt. I take photos every year w my daughter and i have worn the same black and red checkers for a few years in a row. My daughter got a black and white plaid dress from my mom and im leaning towards getting or posdibly even making one for myself so we can twin again but w a different twist.
Thanks for Putting out such a beautiful vlog! The inspiration and tips you always share is much appreciated ! (Even tho I’m in my 40’s) ❤❤
Thank you so much!!
Love Dave Ramsey!!! ❤️

@@FarmhouseonBoonethanks very much!!
Honest question, how does Kiwico fit in with a simplified house? We have received subscriptions as gifts, or even received several boxes at once that relatives find unopened at second hand stores.
My kids have the *hardest* time getting rid of the boxes, the special treasures, even the extra pieces from Kiwi stuff! HA! And we are a family that declutters -often-.
Have you had to deal with this? How do you manage it? They are *crushed* when presented with the idea that the extra pieces are in fact trash, even after holding things for a while to let the newness wear off. It's really quite the struggle 😆
Lisa, your videos & advice are so inspiring & amazing. Your family is blessed to have you. I think we cannot discount ~ in the very beginning of our family journey ~ we must make sure to marry (partner up with) a person who has the same life goals!! This person must be someone you can work with together. The beginning “honeymoon/love bubble” phase wears off. There will be challenges - can you work them out together & work together for your family??
I see that so clearly in you & Luke - the love & working together for your family!
That Beautiful Family is a lot of work for BOTH partners. Thank you so much for sharing your life with us!
Love & Blessings! 🙏🏻❤️
Love to hear the rain ☔️ also that bouquet is stunning ❤
I appreciate your videos so much and while i am so far from the homemaker i want to be, you help me achieve new goals.
You are so pleasing to watch. Always a comfort to me.
I love seeing your videos, they are so nice to watch and love your voiceover as well. All your videos and your sister’s videos are really relaxing to watch.
Thank you so much!
Lisa, we love kiwi co too and get 4 boxes a month. Tell me how you deal with all their creations! We are a family of six living in 900sqft. We cant keep each thing they make, but of course the children get attached to their creations and want to! How do you do it?
Can you share where your skirt is from? I ❤ it

Beautiful video, as always, Lisa! Thank you so much! ❤
Outstanding Thank you ♥️

I want to see one video where you order a pizza, let the house go, and watch a movie with your children. Adrenal fatigue is a thing. ❤️ We need to be careful not to have Martha-like work habits so much so we don’t have time for “Mary moments”. Taking quiet time to be with the Lord is bigger than doing “all the things”. ❤️❤️❤️ Remember this sweet mamas. Especially those with lots of little ones. 🙏🏻❤️
As a mom with a similar life (cooking meals from scratch, homeschooling, homemaking), a lot of these tasks ARE fulfilling. Cooking is something I love doing, I enjoy providing for my family, and the nourishment from our meals gives me satisfaction. I love having a tidy home and I enjoy working with my children to keep it that way. And doing lessons with them is literally my favorite part of the day. 😍 You're absolutely right that spending time being together and hang out is imperative, and the goal isn't a picture perfect house, but I also think that this idea that ordering pizza and watching a movie is the ONLY way to unwind is incorrect and damaging. Mamas can lead a restful life even if they do these things.
Amen! I have 3 ages 3 and under and Tuesday is always taco night and this mama doesn’t cook 😅
Lisa talks a lot about not doing everything, making choices about what you invest your time and energy in, and prioritising the things that give you the most emotional and practical payback. She's not a perfectionist and gives a lot of advice on how to avoid burnout in homemaking. So while I understand that watching her do all of this work can still feel daunting to watch, I do also think she's really already showing nuance and encouraging people to find their own balance, that works for them and doesn't have to look the same as someone else's. Maybe ordering pizza and watching a movie is your unwinding, while hers is different and she doesn't show that particular thing because it's not what has to happen for her to feel rested. Your way of relaxing is fine, so is hers.
I would have to agree!
She openly says she has those days...but this is her business. Her business is very particular. The aesthetic, the clothing, the food, the bread, the linen sheets, it is all part of her brand. She has to stay true to that as well. This is not a mommy-tell-all-channel.
Génial ! Merci merci merci, je galère un peu pour trouver comment faire facilement des animés et voilà, tu sors une autre vidéo avec des outils Canva que je ne connaissais pas, timing parfait !! ❤
Where is your rug in your living room from? So cute!!

I really envy families who eat the same food. My husband and I are interracial couple who grew up in different cultures. He doesn’t like my food at all and there’s some things I don’t like that he grew up eating. We have 2-3 different meals in our home. It’s always what’s worked for us. I’m just lucky that he does cook. So he and I cook our own food. But we get judged a lot from others but it’s been working for us for almost 17 yrs that we’ve been married. But I still envy families like yours that eat the same thing. No wonder why you enjoy cooking for them.
whatever works for you and your family....all families are different and do things differently and that is ok!
Thank you ❤
