85. Snacking, Eating Out, Sourdough and Homeschool | My Most Frequently Asked Questions

[@suzisaintjames]

I think with COVID and the isolation that comes with it, it's nice to see your face. It's more like a virtual coffee chat and that's what we need right now! Socializing. So please keep doing the video podcast format that you used today. 💜🌞🌵😷

I am going back and viewing your earlier videos. Concerning raw milk, the first 20 years of my life was spent drinking raw milk. My grandparents had a dairy farm. We got our milk and other dairy products from them. I think that fresh dairy, meat and vegetables contributed to my brother, sister and I having no allergies and we were rarely ill, even today. I believe we have become so far removed from the "natural" patterns of raising and growing our food, that we no longer know what is good, healthy food. KUDOS to you as a young person recognizing this and telling the world. Thank you!

I LOVE how you said kids are as expensive as you make them as that is what I have always said. We are also those people who had two kids and ended up with triplets completing our family of 7 all two and under when our boys arrived. We didn’t have a choice with anything over the past two years with having to purchase a bigger vehicle and a different home, but we just make it work with the grace and love of our Heavenly Father. We also do not budget and live within our financial means. Thanks for being so honest and true Lisa. It’s refreshing.

I never can wake up early without kiddos. It seems to be the mom secret to success... and it never pans out here

[@CMBauer]

Same. It’s like mine know I’m going to wake up early and they decide to do the same. 😒

[@oldfarmnewfarm4720]

@@CMBauer exactly!

My kids are grown, but, when I was married, I really enjoyed getting up before my husband 😆 Nice, sweet quiet time. A good mug of coffee and a good book (in total silence) is heaven 🤓

[@suen4741]

One of the things I like the best about your blog and all the rest is how real you are with your answers. Don’t change, so nice to watch someone like you!😊

[@judybaugus2909]

That was so good. You are so patient answering those questions. I lovevghe fact you keep some stuff private. I dont need to know everything about you lol just need to know about the stuff you create. And I'm old so of course I love seeing the kids smiling faces from time to time.it gives me extra joy.

[@traceycottom5747]

Your children are blessed to have you both as parents. You really are an inspiration 🙏

[@ShelleyhitzTV]

I think seeing your face is better than just a still photo.

[@May-xt9pv]

Such a gift for your kids to see both you and your husband working together, and that you’re both home together!

[@SpecialgiftsLA]

The way you described how you feel stressed and what you do to avoid or lessen it. Is really validating. You are an inspiration and I really like to see you sitting down and talk especially because you are natural and real.

[@Simplefarmhouselife]

Thank you!

[@debbismirnoff1424]

I love that you are so honest♥️👍

[@JulesfromNorthfield]

I make your sourdough bagel recipe almost every week. It is so so good! You have been my sourdough inspiration. I already had a starter and bread recipes, but you made it seem so much more doable.

[@thefruitofherhome]

Great podcast!! I seriously love seeing it as a video!! I am a true fan, so even tho you’re just talking, it still is very enjoyable!🤍

[@Dragon123cat]

Love the video with the podcast!

[@brookep1043]

YES YOU LIKE ALLIE BETH STUCKEY!!!! Yes!!! I am so glad I found you. I knew we had so much in common!!!❤️❤️❤️ thank you for being a great example.

[@thespicyrose]

Thank you so much for this blog! Great tips for every mom! ❤️

[@HaleyWildman]

Love the video podcast. I followed you long before the Better Together group and I LOVED seeing your sit down videos there. You've taught me SO MUCH 💕

[@indianne9781]

Don’t know if you will see this, but reheating pizza on the stovetop in a skillet is my favorite way to do it, way better than in the microwave. I just reheat it in a covered skillet on low heat. Makes the crust nice and crispy!

[@amberhebert2062]

How would you suggest getting away from snacks? Especially, if your kids are use to eating snacks and are picky eaters? Help! We need to make some changes.

[@mountaincountrytraditions6292]

Love the video format! Thanks for sharing, you’re awesome 👍🏻🎉

[@tammygagnon996]

Hi, love the podcast. I like how I can see you. This might sound silly but I need to see to hear..lol, it sinks in better. I follow you on all your sites.

[@vee_vee2024]

I hope you feel better and more comfortable to talk about homeschooling as time goes on. There are a few good channels in you tube and it's a popular subject ☺️ happy that KZbin suggested your channel!!!!

[@mamabenzing5872]

Whatever way is easier for you to do podcast. I personally like seeing people's faces when they talk but some times I'm busy doing something and just listening to the podcast. I just listened to your Q&A with Luke. You could have totally keep more of it in, I have a sarcastic personality and laughed along with you.

[@sallymichaelsdesigns3045]

Really enjoyed this video pod cast ♥️

[@rachelkeyes6037]

Look into Gather around homeschool 😊

[@katiecollins2]

Love the video with the podcast!!

[@lindarichardson1874]

I love that your kids fit into your lifestyle not that you fit into theirs!!!! You're a wonderful family! You should have 20 more kids...you 2 make pretty people!!!

[@marina-englishonline]

I definitely prefer when you make a video podcast! Thank you!

[@nancivanloo7701]

I’m a visual person and enjoy seeing your face!

[@judith.corinne]

Love the idea of doing a video because any of us who just want to listen can use a podcast app. Those of us who'd rather watch you can watch you! I think having the video quality of your other channel would be best!

[@laurap5445]

I do prefer videos and please keep posting on youtube!

[@charlenehoekstra1591]

Love it in video form!!!

[@anabanana6480]

I love the video format

[@alisamcdaniel2385]

Love the video chat!

[@FourageAcres]

I actually like the image better for the podcast. Otherwise, I feel like I have to sit and watch you talk and make eye contact. I listen to this while I'm doing stuff around our home.

[@rashmimathur5318]

Hi Lisa, I have been living your channels both the podcast and vlog channel. I'm a newbie here. I just wanted to know if sourdough has a better nutritional advantage over wheat flour (not all purpose flour) for cooking. If you do have a podcast on this or a blog post, please let me know. I would love to learn more. Love love your amazing farmhouse life. I crave this life myself. Much love to your family ❤

[@Simplefarmhouselife]

Sourdough breaks down the phytic acid that is present on wheat...it makes the nutrients more available for out bodies to absorb

[@hyrunnisa997]

can you link all the people you mentioned on homeschooling?

[@gerigowers8318]

I prefer a video with it since I seem to be easily distracted. Please keep them this way. I'm kind of catching up today and find it harder to concentrate on audio only.

[@halfacrehomemaker]

Same!

[@StaceeMassey]

I'm curious how much it costs to hire a VA? How do you decide how much to pay them and how often and do you pay per job or a flat rate? 🤔

[@Amoyaful]

I am a virtual assistant / social media manager. Let me know if you'd want to discuss things some more with me.

[@rough-hewnhomestead5737]

I live similarly to you. You make me want to blog about it!

[@leslie_francine]

I am a first time homeschooling mom. We are starting this fall. What extracurriculars do you recommend for kids ages 4 and 6? I am going to choose one for each of them but also don't want to overbook our schedule this school year. You mentioned some of your kids are in music classes.

[@Kevin.Grindel]

Look into tennis (no real competition at those ages just skill building) and ukulele for music piano is always the best instrument to start with but it is difficult to find an instructor to start younger then 7

[@ambermik2940]

How would you suggest to heat up rice in your case?

[@Simplefarmhouselife]

put a little water in your pan, throw in rice and put the lid on it...on med low. check periodically and stir.

[@suzisaintjames]

I think that if you are going to refer people to this video to answer their questions... that you need to pin a comment or in the description, list the time stamp of each topic. ❤🌅🌵😷

[@ninilovenana]

6 people.... I dont even have 6 friends..

[@miephoex]

Why do you always wear the same dress and spotted apron in every video?

[@Simplefarmhouselife]

I don't

[@maryburgess5825]

So there is a whole youtube community of christians who 'home-school' (where is the freedom for those children to really learn about things outwith your personal beliefs?) and use this free platform to make money? It is fascinating and depressing to see how in America Chrsitianity is, almost always, tied to profit.

[@TheSilverLining80]

What is wrong with working to feed your family?

[@stacey2804]

Being a Christian while helping other Christian mammas is exploiting Christianity how? Women need to to surround themselves with like minded people for our mental health, and people like you come on here throwing out shade at a person who's an amazing mother and wife and and is an amazing inspiration to so many. Not cool, lady. I think you need Jesus. 😆 Seriously, she does nothing but good. Find something else that is an actual issue to be rude about.
