Mothers are the most over-looked under-appreciated citizens of our societies - but THE MOST IMPORTANT. Thank you for all you do - sharing your victories (and sometimes defeats); and just your tips of making it through the monotonous, days and week but staying focused on what's important. Kudos. Great vids
I believe dads are.. to each their own
@@Sammiejammie521 As leaders/and financial supporters of their families Dad's also play a very important part in the family unit...but they can mark their achievements receive the benefits of promotions and financial bumps - Moms work 24/7 with no 'elevating their positions' or awards handed out at the end of the year. Dads are to be given credit as well - especially ones that prioritize their families above their job
@@mdorn6592 you said over looked and under appreciated, not most awarded by a thankless job. Mothers are often treated like the queen of the family, they don’t have to break their back or deal with the stress that comes with working outside the home. Mother’s Day is always more celebrated than fathers. They get the “financial bump” that their husband does even though they didn’t do the work. They don’t get drafted into war, in an emergency situation they are always prioritized over men and never expected to defend their family in a crisis. Women have it great. Men are often overlooked and mistreated. They are expected to be feminine and still be a man. They are expected to be hard yet tender. They are more harshly punished in legal situations, less likely to be helped when in danger or down in their luck. They have it very hard and are not shown the love they deserve. Both genders can be overlooked by an ungrateful spouse, but women are not the most undervalued or most important.
Thankful that you give young mothers/homemakers “permission” to let go of things that can drag you down just because there’s pressure out there to do it. Sometimes it seems that these new ladies want their homes to be the best but it’s hectic to try to do everything! Us older ladies can tell them that until we’re blue in the face, but coming from a peer really hits home. Example: I have hardly any pictures of my two children growing up. No cell phones, couldn’t afford a camcorder nor a Polaroid camera. You had to buy film, then pay to have it developed and even then, the pictures might be blurry, dark, or unrecognizable. The few photos I have are precious. My daughter (in high school sewing class) made me a photo quilt with the pictures we had and now it hangs on my wall. Times have sure changed.
Thank you for taking the time to share this.

Your videos literally get me out of my slump Lisa. Literally energy booster right here
Agreed! Inspired me at the end of first trimester to get back into the swing of things.
LOL! Planners...those cute teeny calendars...lists on the fridge...phone lists...nothing worked for me until I said to everyone, "Put it on the wall calendar, or it isn't on my radar." That has worked like a charm ever since!
I had no idea anyone else struggled with sleep if there is something that has to be scheduled in the morning 😵💫 especially with babies or kids that don’t sleep through the night! It’s a sure formula for me to be stressed out!
It is genius to have everyone just put their laundry in the washer and when it’s full, you run it. I am going to implement this ASAP!
I thought this was a great idea also!!
You have such a knack with flowers, beautiful! One of my Grandma's had a beautiful yard, shrubs, annuals, perinatals, vegetables, cutting garden, roses, fruit trees..on and on! She had fresh flowers in almost every room. When an arrangement started to fade, she would take out the spent flowers and put the bouquet into a smaller vessel. She did this a couple times, until there was a single bloom in a juice glass or dish by the kitchen sink! Nothing wasted..much like God in our lives, always looking for the beauty❤
What a sweet memory! Thanks for sharing.
I am 63 and absolutely love to see young mother's like you and your suster making healthy food from scratch for your families and growing your own food, God bless you.
thank you!
I totally agree !!! In this day and age it seems children are viewed as a burden and nuisance and being a homemaker is looked down on, when in reality these are beautiful blessings from the Lord !!!
I encourage young mothers to stay home, raise your own kids, feed your family healthy homemade food, make your house a home, make the sacrifices needed to do it !!!
Live on less, find free activities, make your own coffee, drive an older vehicle, be humble !!!
No kid ever grows up and says, “I had a wonderful childhood being raised in daycare, we had the newest car in the neighborhood and we always had fancy new furniture that we couldn’t play on, it was great and I hardly know my parents” !!!! That is not what kids need or want and I want to encourage young families to focus on their families not the materialistic world !
Blessings
No to take away from Lisa here on farmhouse on Boone but another channel you may enjoy is “Homesteading with the Zimmerman”…. Oh, it’s a wonderful channel too ❤
@@rnupnorthbrrrsm6123definitely will checkout that channel as well. Lisa is an amazing person, her love for her home and family is inspiring.
@@rnupnorthbrrrsm6123i would rather die than deal with a crying baby or a diaper
I love that chicken sneaking a drink from the pitcher ❤🐔😆
You are absolutely right about memories. In pioneer days, if you had a picture taken at age of 1, then a wedding picture, and maybe a 50-year anniversary picture, your life was recorded. Today, society is obsessed with pictures of everything every day. Nothing is special.
Or everything is special!
@@jenniferknight2788❤
Speak for yourself 😂
@@Sammiejammie521 I did.
I agree, @jenniferknight2788,
I feel like every day is special and something I don't want to forget❤❤❤ the days go by so fast and all the memories and ordinary moments are soon forgotten... but getting to look back at photos of those sweet everyday moments is something I treasure!! I think it's sad that older generations didn't get the chance to do the same! ❤ 😔
Very refreshing. I really like the simplicity! You don't seem to rush but you get it all done and that in itself is motivating.
I love your homemaking tips video, especially the reminder that some things dont HAVE to be done just because someone else does it. How that those things take up space in our mind and clutter unnecessarily. Thanks for the reminder that life goes on and memories arent lost even though they arent documented.
On another note, I notice you and your sisters frequently make simple fresh flower arrangements to display in your houses. That is always a refreshing picture and I love that about you all.
I always love getting the notification that any of you sisters have shared a video.
Have a beautiful week!
I recently retired after working outside of the home for 25+ years and have found myself trying to establish new routines for myself. Your tips and advice advice have helped me immensely. One of my main goals is to get all of our family photos organized in some way. Thanks again for your amazing videos!
Happy retirement!
Lisa, you may be too young to remember the scrapbooking craze of about 20 - 25 years ago. I never got into it because 1) I don't have a creative bone in my body and 2) I felt like I just didnt have the time to devote to it working part time and raising my first two children. It was all the rage so I did wrestle with some guilt at the time. Now that I'm much older, I don't feel bad about it at all. 😅
Wow, it's awesome to see how you balance it all! With 8 kids, I bet there's never a dull moment 😂 I love how you turn chaos into calm! You really inspire me to find joy in the little things too. Thanks for sharing! 🌼
YES, I JUST GET A PHOTO FOR A CHRISTMAS CARD EVEN IF I MAKE ONE FOR MYSELF AND DONT SEND IT OUT . I ALWAYS MAKE A COPY . MY FAMILY SET UP SOMEWHERE AND TAKE A PICTURE EVERY YEAR !
I love your content Lisa. Watching your weekly video is my favourite way to relax on my own, but it also benefits my entire family because the videos inspire me with new ideas and enthusiasm!
I'm so glad!
It’s so weird that you are talking about this because I have started doing the same thing. Since I am a nurse and work full time, I only have a few hours each evening and a small amount in the morning. I have been breaking things up that I want to get done over a couple of days. For a long time I have just been doing everything on the weekends but that was wearing me out! This way I don’t get so tired. Thanks and it does work!
Yes it’s so freeing even as a grandma to let some things go that are more of a chore than a fun hobby. Now I have more time to do things I love.
Lisa, you’re always inspiring! Love your home! God bless your precious family! 😀❤️
Thank you so much!
As your family gets older and there's even more activities, you might consider a calendar app. The reason I mention this is because with most calendar apps, you can set up a calendar for each person or group of people or even each activity like church or year long sports activity and then view them all together or 2 or 3 or just 1. That way it's easy to see that the littles have a play date at the same time as the highschoolers. Or when pulling in the church schedule you see there's a conflict with a birthday party. And yet, everyone can still be focused on their own calendar without being bombarded with what everyone else is doing. 💕🌞🌵😷
Thanks for sharing your habits and tips. I always appreciate your videos.
Did you know if you tap lightly on the wide bottom of the egg with a spoon until you hear a TACK sound it loosens the membrane and the shells peal SO EASY Although you don't seem to have a problem with this...
I only have notifications turned on for 3 channels here on YT and this is one of them! Thanks, Lisa
thank you!
Love these videos. I pit them on while I clean up and organize. Just lovely dialog to keep me positive. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing your most prized tribute to us! Your ability to organize, to think so absolutely clearly about everything thing! You don't know how much your knowledge contributes to each and every one of us who watch your videos!!! Thanks so much!❤❤❤❤
That is nice your daughter helps make a little family video for you guys. I hope that one day you guys will look back and love seeing those!
Now I have a deviled egg craving...
So nice to get your video notification on this Monday.
I just cannot overstate how much of an inspiration you are! Thank you so much for sharing your tips and letting us come along on your journey. As I prepare to have another baby join the family and trying to get everything prepared for that, I am so inspired by your efforts and constant encouragement. Thank you and God bless you!
I keep my Google Calendar in schedule mode instead of month or week mode and it displays like a list. So much nicer to remove all the unnecessary stuff!
Your videos are very relaxing to watch, from the nice background music to your calm voice. This video had some very good advice. It’s refreshing to see how you allow life to flow as you balance your responsibilities.
I adore these types of videos. I am not even the intended audience for it, single, no children, not working from home, but there is always some sort of information in it that can help me. And it's nice to hear that we don't have to do All The Things and that you can just live your own life with your own priorities. So thank you, Lisa! 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
So glad you are finding helpful information for yourself! Thanks for following along.
Im so glad I found you. You are such an inspiration.
I have to use my notes app for groceries, appointments and dog medicine schedule. I don’t know you do it! You are so amazing. ❤ The kind of mom I wish I had been.
@@lormor460 not sure about you, but I raised eight kids from 1978 through 2019. We raised them in a different era, and we had different information. We did the best we could with what we had! It’s fun watching these young moms and the choices that they make. they give me hope :-)
@@baseballmomof8Thank you , I needed to hear that. My kids were born in the late 80s to mid 90s. The oldest only speaks to me on holidays. I miss her terribly . There is no estrangement, and I know she loves me but she is almost too independent. She started drifting from me since she was 18, she is now 37….I feel like I did something wrong.
@@lormor460 why do we mamas always take the blame for the things that seem not to go right? It’s just something we do! Mine are all doing well, but they are all very busy with their own families and their own lives. Some are more in touch with me than others, some have remained strong in their faith and others wobble a bit. We did the best we could with what we had. I just had a feeling that you needed to hear it, we all do every now and again. :-)
@@baseballmomof8 Thank you 🥹🙏❤️
Main thing is teaching the children to help 😊
Agree! ❤
I disagree. The older children end up raising the younger kids. Not fair to the older children. They don't get a childhood they could have if they didn't have to babysit every day.
@@shirleycunningham8828 well that’s not how it was with my 8. Each helped at the level of their ability. Sure, on rare occasion older ones helped with younger ones. Our second eldest (43) has seven of his own. All eight of ours had good, realistic, childhoods. Sounds like that didn’t work out in your case. Sorry to hear that.
@@baseballmomof8 I am the youngest of 4. But I have a twin. My mother did the work to raise me so my siblings could enjoy a childhood too.
I do believe that older children end up raising the younger ones. Like you said "they help with the level of their abilities". They shouldn't have to be responsible for their siblings at all. They are children.
@@shirleycunningham8828 never said they were responsible. All of mine had good childhoods… glad yours worked out too.
I love your videos, they have a calm but productive energy that make me feel I’m actually at your place visiting. Thanks for this moment each week.
I'm so glad!
I love how calming your videos are 😊❤ even though you’re doing chores it’s like I get to visit your home . Thank you 😍
😊 thank you
You are so inspiring and you always help me get off my butt and get things done around the house, you encourage me to make delicious homemade meals, and i really appreciate you.
HAPPY MONDAY Lisa, family, fur babies, and feathered friends. CRACKING myself up when the chicken was drinking out the pitcher. Thanks for all the tip, ideas, motivation and inspiration. STTB🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔
I’ve tried so many charts, lists, routines, timetables…every time I sit down to fill a print out in or write something down I think … this is it, this is it this time it’s going to work! And it just never happens. I get so stressed trying to keep to the routine that I end up being on top of the kids all the time and feeling like a failure. But if I don’t have it all written down my head can’t contain all the stuff that needs done, I think it’s my age…I think I’m going to try and just write down the things I want to achieve both at home and in terms of homeschooling with no times…
just keeping a running list has been helpful for me and when I have a block of time I look at what is next on the list and I just do it...no thinking or stressing about what I should do with the time given....maybe that will help you..
Thank you for all the hard work you put in all of your videos for all of us❤
Ty Lisa, I love these helpful hints you give.
Needs before wants a huge help for me with business, caring for grandbabies, as well as adding parents.
Awesome as usual! Hate to see it end!❤
I had a dream last night with you in it!🤯
You called me up to ask me to be on your podcast and we were on the phone for a while just chit chatting😂
Hopefully it's prophetic, but most likely just a result of being 6 months pregnant 🥴
So fun! I love when God sends me encouraging people in dreams 🥰
We LOVE Tello! We’ve Used it for my kids the last 3 years and half the time he has better service than my tmobile.
Well my life in Ireland is so different from yours as Iv grandchildren older than your eldest 😂 .However lots of your videos are still relevant. For example thanks to your relaxed attitude to your sourdough starter Im now finally producing great sourdough bread, pizzas etc having tried for years without much success. I love your videos. I do think you are a bit of a Supermum despite your denial. 😅
thanks for sharing!
Your observation and perspective on memories really resonated with me. I'm a mother of four grown daughters and only the first one has a "baby book", which I wrote memories in for the first 9 months and then no more. I think being in the moment is so much more important than having photos or even written notes about. My daughters used to give me the gears about their lack of baby book but now they're mothers themselves and they see just how much there is to do and I don't think even one of my eight grandchildren has a baby book!
I have 6 kids and my first child the baby is full, second child 1/2 done, and the rest wellll not so much.
Also, photos I lost a lot through moves and my software crashing so Im just printing a few from different trips, celebrations etc and putting into a book.
I started keeping track of milestones but stopped somewhere along the way. I wish I'd kept it up because my children ask all the time when they first did this or that and I have to tell them that I don't know 😢
I am a photographer and remembering everyday sweet moments is important to me 😊❤ im on baby #3 and have taken more photos of her than the other two even, haha. 😅
I have done a pregnancy journal for all three and they all three have a 0-5yr old book... all filled out. It's so fun for me to sit down in the evening and fill in the next pages!! ❤
Thank you for always putting a positive spin on homemaking. That blessed so many. ❤️
I use a three year paper planner for appointments and special dates, a notebook for detailing how I’d like the days to go, projects that need to be done right away, grocery lists, and brainstorming and my phone notes app for long term lists like home maintenance. I can’t do phone calendars, my brain doesn’t register the same way seeing dates and times on paper does. A three year calendar is the best because if something happens anually, say sign ups for summer camp or sales for stocking up on next seasons clothes for kids, I put that on the calendar a year out. Feels good to get it out of my head and onto paper and can leave it for a year.
Thanks for the video!
Thank you for this! I really appreciate your advice-especially to focus on what needs to get done rather than what one wants to do. I enjoy most of my homemaking tasks, but it can be overwhelming to know what to do next. That’s such a good piece of advice and simple to remember!
Hello sweet family on Boone ❤❤
I loved this video so much! Addressing being ok with not documenting everything and being mindful with our schedules.....it was right up my alley. Thank you for bringing it up.🌷
Just a lovely video. I think my favorite part is the rain that you capture outside, it is so calming. I wish you the best and as always I take away something from every video that I can use...for example I am going to scrub the tub because I put that off in favor of other chores that I prefer :)
Hi Lisa, as a long time follower, the thing I love most about you is how practical you are. You are who you are and that is ok. I love that. I agree about the documenting everything…..I have memories and that’s all I really need. Thank you 🌷🇨🇦
Thank you so much!
I’ve tried so many charts, lists, routines, timetables…every time I sit down to fill a print out in or write something down I think … this is it, this is it this time it’s going to work! And it just never happens. I get so stressed trying to keep to the routine that I end up being on top of the kids all the time and feeling like a failure. But if I don’t have it all written down my head can’t contain all the stuff that needs done, I think it’s my age…I think I’m going to try and just write down the things I want to achieve both at home and in terms of homeschooling with no times…I need to go find your mayonnaise video, I have been buying store bought mayo as one of the few non home made ingredients we use and have just recently decided no way, not any more…
keep working to find the best routine for you!www.farmhouseonboone.com/healthy-avocado-mayonnaise/
This video is sooo good that i had to watch it 3 times and take notes ❤ I'm trying to be a home maker while also working full time and sometimes is so overwhelming. Thank you for all these efficient tips ❤️
Great advice Lisa! When my kids were young I wasn’t able to keep up with our pictures either. Everyone has different perspectives & different gifts.
I love your advice on FLOW Lisa! I agree with your homemaking routine vs rigid budget. We have a huge wall calendar 📅 we make bc the kids love to see whats upcoming & I put dates in my phone calendar and transfer them to the big calendar each month.
I grew up with the saying good management is the work half done , sounds like your life 😊. Loved this video!
I love your channel. It feels like I’m talking to a mom friend who’s kids are older than mine ❤️
Very good advice for young moms,
Perfect as always!❤
Amazing how you and your sisters like picking from the garden flowers, 🌸 , aww sweet ,?
Morning Lisa from England a coffee & time spent recharging with your video
I get what you're saying on seeing our tasks as a whole! Enjoyed your video!
I love watching your videos. So calming, your voice, the music, just watching you work with such a flow. At the same time receiving great advice or a wonderful recipe. Thanks for sharing.
Love the video. It's so relaxing to watch.
Omg, you finally fixed those curtains over your sink. I never understood why you had them below the sill. They look great. Love your videos!
haha...as you see, I am not bothered by little details
Yum 😋 makes me hungry! Thankful for your recipes & encouragement as a Christian momma! ❤
Random, but those jeans are cute!
My family has tello for our phone service and we love it!!
Thank you, Lisa😀
im wondering how you get your hard boiled eggs so easy to peel? This was also so helpful to hear it's okay to not have chore charts
Either steam them or add them to already boiling water.
Hi!! Wanted to share a deviled eggs variation: we do mayo, salt, pepper, curry powder, and just a little pickle juice. Hope you try it. It's so nostalgic for me. 😊
I always love your pretty homemaking videos ❤ keeping me company while babies nap
you're amazing, lisa! thanks for sharing your 'i'm not that perfect' (as it looks like!) inspirations.
I love your videos. Such a stress reliever for a full time working mom and wife. You inspire me so much ❤️
You seem to have a nicely run household. Great food and a beautiful family and home.
I just LOVE this video. Such great ideas. I especially love that one of your children will be video-taping a family memory each month. Such a great idea and an way for skill sets to be developed. I don't have 8 children but ai use my notes app in the same way. It works especially well if I have to backtrack to locate a particular date.
Loved this!! Such an inspiration to me!!!
So inspiring. 😊❤
So true, re preparing for the day. 😊😊
I keep a paper planner.
Hi Lisa I use my notes app on my iPhone also to log appointment dates and times or I will definitely forget. I love how organised you are ❤
hey girl- love the video! 🤗 great tips 👍 Yummy food as always Lisa😋 Keep up the good work🥰
Beautiful Lisa 🙏
❤❤❤❤ the egg color assortment is outstanding 🎉❤️
What Onions! Beautiful video❤😊
Hi Lisa i am enjoying your videos very much. Fall is almost here and. need to get out the large pots for my makeing soups. Can you please start adding videos for how to make homemade soups and stews the cold weather is coming fast and i live on soups and stews but have a hard time trying to come up with if i am adding the right herbs and most of the time my soups are coming out real bad so i need help with the spices and make sure i am useing the right broth. Can you help by adding videos. Thank You Lisa.
You can go to FarmhouseonBoone.com and type "soup" in the search bar and all my soup recipes will come up and they are printable recipes
Will you share what sewing machine you have? Thanks! I love your relaxed, go with the flow style of motherhood/homemaking. It is very encouraging to me as a mom of littles in the trenches.
She has sewing tutorials all ready to use, and explains using the simplest sewing machine for years, and now also having one that is more advanced for a couple other functions. The main difference is buying fabric in bolts or many yards on a roll for multiple projects, and thread on a separate spool holder for a huge spool. Those were interesting ideas to me since there can be very steep discounts on fabric, and it is less expensive in higher yardage. But finding a fabric you like for many different projects may be more tricky. I enjoy variety. For curtains and linens, it was wonderful to buy fabric in bulk.

One thing that I definitely want to begin to implement is washing the dishes immediately and putting them away. That’ll ruin your entire day 😂
Great tips. Thanks.
Love your content. So inspiring!! God Bless 😊
Watching this video while making the orange chicken recipe haha!
If you are concerned would check out the webpage of the mixer you have and or call the company.
Your vlogs are so soothing
I am curious as why you don't do the dishes and/or clean with soap. Love your videos.
I do...you are seeing edited clips of my day and tasks
Great video! Have you ever done a video on balancing your youtube working career with being a homemaker?
I have talked about that frequently over on The Simple Farmhouse Life podcast and TH-cam channel
Lovely video to watch as I take a long walk ❤️
Thanks.
Good morning ❤
