So I’m assuming you don’t spend hours at a gym. The way you stepped up on that stool and then got back down w/o using your hands was impressive. Look how fit you are and you work your farm, your house and your family. You prioritize God and family and you are a stroooong woman in so many ways. I’m 64 and I hope young women are able to see the value in your lifestyle. You are a rock star

[@pattyadams2338]

I thought the same thing about the stool.

Right? She seems so strong with great balance.

[@Carebear7170]

I agree.

[@dremamccoy2004]

I thought the same thing about the stool as well. But I had another thought, it's dangerous. Get yourself a step stool😊

@@ritahamm1893 I was also very impressed when I saw that, I'm 45 and my knees oh boy. I'm a homemaker that's why I enjoy her channel so much, she really has given me some very good perspectives on what is really important in homemaking and what is just not necessary.

When it comes to busy schedules, there's a quote from Cortney Carver that I love. "Doing more things doesn't make you a better person, it makes you a tired person."

[@RunninUpThatHillh]

Case in point: my in-laws are too busy (AGAIN) to fulfill family obligations. Sports come first. My family, my children take all the responsibilities that come with having older grandparents. My husband and I alone are moving his parents to a new home this week. Funny enough we're the only homeschoolers in this large family.

[@meghanjones5833]

My mom always told me this: clutter in the house/car is an indication of what’s going on in someone’s mind. I have never forgotten that ever and that’s why a clutter free, simple house is a must for less anxiety in my life. ❤ thanks again for always inspiring.

[@kaylenevictorio8211]

My mama said the same thing! And so grateful for it! 💕

[@jackimanley3056]

We also do not do sports or any evening activities. We homeschool and we like to keep our evenings free for hospitality and to spend with Dad when he gets home from his job as a chaplain at the local state prison. He has a difficult, but important job and we don't want to be busy and stressed in the evenings running kids everywhere. I love not being busy. It's very counter cultural ;)

[@tolohuexochitl3]

Plenty in modern culture worth countering! I know some people thrive with the busy schedules, and good for them. But here’s to owning plenty of time at home!

Hello from a 30 year old San Diego native! I grew up down the street from SDSU. ☺️♥️ My family and I moved to Alabama 6 years ago and then to Georgia 4 years ago, and I sure do miss the San Diego burritos, tacos, and sushi. I love this channel too-as a homeschooling mother of 5 little ones, all under 8! My life is very different from Lisa's as well, though, as we're in a tiny third floor apartment! 😆

“Perfection can sometimes be a form of procrastination.” WOW, I need some time to process that!

[@lisaminer6474]

My husband is the middle child. He grew up in a very strict home run mostly by his mother as his father worked shiftwork. His father was never around for him and as a result he has no relationship with him. He would actually hear about his successes in sports through his workmates. And I have to say it has been very hard on our relationship to the point where I think about divorce often. It really warms my heart to see you spend time with your middle son. It will go so far and be so meaningful later on in life. I know my husband is not alone and that a lot of middle children were raised like him but to see you intentionally breaking that generational chain is so amazing. I’m grateful to see it. Thank you Justin.

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

thank you for sharing that...I'm so sorry that was your experience.

[@marywatkins6798]

Summer as a kid for me was great. I grew up in the country and I'd run around barefoot in shorts, outside, riding my bike, all of it. I didn't do sports. Took a few weeks total of swimming lessons when I was real young, but no nearby pool either. Totally unstructured time which was great for me. I loved that.

[@catharinab8860]

My garden mantra is ”whatever gets done is good enough”. I have to remind myself because I want to do a lot more, I do get quite a lot of vegetables but if I don’t remember my mantra the garden stresses me out. I love listening to you speak about homemaking, Lisa.

[@hannahthehomesteader]

In addition to decluttering SO MUCH, even furniture, we moved our little kids' clothes to dresser on the main level. It was such a game changer! They can't dress themselves, are potty training and messy, and I was constantly running upstairs to get their clothes. It made no sense. Now I can put their laundry away and dress them so quickly.

[@tolohuexochitl3]

Agree. I made our laundry room into both of my little kids’ closet. I do hang the clothes to dry, so it’s a trip out and back in, but not into bedrooms!

[@emilysmiller9749]

Saying NO is a powerful step in maintaining sanity as a mom. It's hard but SO important to set boundaries. 😉

[@stephaniem542]

Busyness as a form of procrastination. (love the procrasta-cleaning phrase too ☺️) That is something I will remember and be thinking about!! Well said. ❤️❤️

[@junesammy-robidoux2305]

Listen you spoke directly to me about being busy as a distraction from doing the things you actually need to do but do not want to do. Definitely for me I am the master of procrasticleaning to avoid paper work anything corporate related. You also spoke directly to me about not having to have everything perfect and doing everything all the time. I love your approach to family life and living, going with the flow, appreciating the now and stop aiming for perfection, there is no such thing. Busyness is not the same as productivity. This will definitely stick with me.

We got rid of cable in 2016. We watch wholesome movies like little house on the prairie. Nothing usually in the summer. Being retired and getting up there in age makes you prioritize 😂 Can’t garden anymore but support our local farmers. Still canning. Got rid of Instagram in January. God really spoke to me about that. You are doing good Lisa sharing because so many people have the wrong idea about what is important. God bless you and your family!

Whenever I hear about online thrift shops my initial response is excitement, but then as I hear more it becomes apparent that we have different ideas about being "thrifty". I will not pay more than $10 for a single tank top, I just won't, much less so a used one. But i will say, ya killing it lady! Your outfits match your personality and you are beautiful.

[@oldtavernfarm]

Oh my gosh, Lisa, you are my hero(ine)!! I've already left FB & Instagram, and just stay on YT. But recently, I've found myself doing the SAME THING!! I happened to have seen something about a month ago that I wished instantly I could unsee. When I kept revisiting it in my mind, I thought, "Maybe that's not even a thing. Maybe that's just hearsay, or fiction, or myth & legend. Just because people believe unicorns are real, doesn't make them real." So in my way, I'm doing the same- waiting a little while to let the icky wash out of my brain, and I do end up forgetting. Little by little, my world becomes smaller, and that gives me my power back. Love ya girl!!! Big hugs!

Really useful, thank you! Just what we needed here. We are a home-schooling family of nine (in a moderate 3 bedroom house) and we have been binge watching decluttering videos at the moment, but I love your philosophy, focusing on priorities, on children and time rather than just managing "things!"

[@JessicaLopez-kz4pk]

I also enjoy your videos. Especially while working. It's great to get advice on how to simplify our lives especially when we are so busy as parents throughout the year. Thank you so much for sharing. You mentioned earlier learning to say no. I think that was definitely for me. You spoke about how its ok to say no sometimes. You have to do what's best for your family. I really needed to hear that. I've been struggling with a decision I made a few days ago and I just been praying am I doing the right thing. Sometimes we want to help our families when they need help but there comes a time when you need to break free because it can be exhausting sometimes especially when your so used to doing something for them all the time. I'm learning that it's ok to say no, especially when I have a family to take care of and I work full time it can really hinder my own time. 😊

I wholeheartedly agree with picking your family priorities, plus they will definitely change throughout the years! I find that I get older, I love to have a bigger vegetable garden and experiment with different variety of vegetables that I haven’t grown before. This year, we’re growing pumpkins and corn, which I’m so looking forward to eating. I know what you mean about downsizing with “things” in my living room. I got rid of quite a few books and figurines, but unfortunately, they’ve slowly starting to creep back in. I’ve put my foot down this time and told my family to put them in their bedrooms, since I’ve had it with more things to dust! As for fashion, I have picked a few trousers, skirts, shirts, jeans and one jacket,that I can interchange and make different outfits with. Thank you sharing your vlog with us, thoroughly enjoyed it!

[@stevieelliott6135]

As a mom in my mid thirties still renting a small two bedroom apartment with my husband and our daughter, I have a hard time letting go of clutter at this point. We are so close to buying our forever home and it’s looking like a real possibility in the year to come. We love antiques and have a hard time saying no to a really great deal if it’s a piece we love that will be functional for our home someday. Virtually everything we own I love. It drives me crazy that there is way too much storage furniture for the flow of our little apartment but this is just where we are at right now at this chapter. Can’t wait to have our own home and keep it clutter free and functional. Thank you for your tips as always

[@dhunters5]

The garden and canning projects are a passion of mine. I love raising and preserving our food. Then I'm sure of what is in it. Now if I could convince my family to declutter, I could spend more time in the garden. Love your channel.

It's massive and beautiful. We do so much canning and I also wash all our dishes. This sink will be a lifesaver. Great video. I've learned to definitely say no and to prioritize things i love doing and as far as cleaning, yeah I hate it. I do it so my family doesn't have to live in a pig stye, but it's not anything i do everyday all day. 😂😂😂

I have two kids and we also nixed the sports- after doing them when they were 4 (t-ball) 5 (soccer). We decided spending every weekend doing sports practices and games was just not for us! What a joy it was to do other things with our weekends! Once your child is in high school, I think that is when kids really choose what they want to do with extra curricular activities. PS: I am so impressed how you were able to just step up on that stool! <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="112">1:52</a>!!

What makes me think that I can plan, schedule, and order my life? 😂 My home is uncluttered and tidy; except for where I stuff things think cabinets and drawers. Also, I’m a prepper, so one room is designated to that and freezers. I still find it overwhelming and I loved what you said about the silent to do list. Thank you Lisa!

Dave Ramsey is amazing and I have learned so much from him thru the years. We sold our big custom home, bought 50 acres and built a smaller home, and all cash too. We raise beef cattle, dairy cattle, hogs, turkeys and chickens. We are almost 100% debt free and man does it feel amazing too. We buy everything with cash, and no credit cards Rule of thumb for a big purchase: wait 24 hrs and pray about it. Americans have the attitude of instant gratification and they've lost the idea of saving up for things, and the feeling you have when you can finally go buy it.

My kids are grown now, but when they were little, the boys got all the same white socks. And the girls got different from the boys, but same white socks. They were close enough in size I could get away with it for a long time. And I agree about quitting sports, or anything you're not passionate about. I found myself running around to practices and lessons that the kids didn't even care about. (Yes, it's good to try something new and stick with a commitment; but when the season is over is a good time to evaluate what to spend your family's time on.)

[@autumnfesperman7971]

So cute that your son came over to help when pulling meat from the freezer for the week! I see he likes bacon! Every now and then I'll send one of my boys to the freezer and its always fun to see what they come back with! (We also buy 1/2 a cow about once per year.)

[@PinkieJoJo]

Starting next week will be the first time we have actually had a kid in sports in years. Our youngest of 4 is starting freshman year and my husband signed him up for cross country. I haven’t had a kid in sports since little league. I can’t say I’m completely convinced this was the right thing but my youngest is shy without friends. So my husband hopes it will help him connect to other kids and have a group. I hope he’s right. I don’t have a lot of time in evenings. We get up at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="270">4:30</a> am and so we usually go to bed early.

I think meal planning is useful for smaller families to be more strategic with grocery shopping without food going to waste. Eating fresh and from scratch is also hard to make economical for small families because fresh food spoils and there are fewer mouths to eat it in a timely manner. I have been thinking about why I cant seem to achieve a stocked, fresh life and I think I realized when its 2 adults and 2 small children, food waste is much more of a problem. Im just saying this in case anyone else is in the same boat and wondering why it might not be working for you, too. Theres nothing more sad than $10 half gallon raw milk going down the drain because your little family couldnt get to it fast enough (whereas pasteurized, even with its problems, lasts a month). 😭

My husband and I want livestock, at a gut level, but we realized that we really want to be able to take the kids on winter adventures in the farming off-season, and it is much easier to leave a winter garden than it is to leave a stable full of animals. So that means we probably either need to board other people's animals on our land for the summer or butcher all our animals in fall. We're not in a great place to start breeding our own stock, while we still want that easy off-season mobility. Edit: Those priorities may change.

Great video, a lot of useful ideas. I especially like what you said: perfection is a form of procrastination.

What a lovely house and piece of property:) You can do so much with that property. The flowers add a nice touch to the rooms😀

Beautiful video Lisa and such important advice/things I want to think on!🙌 Also I love your approach on baby sleep training/being in no rush for it....and I'm happy for you that it's now a success!( I struggle in that area of transitioning my babies too because have such a bond with them when they're born and I've enjoyed co-sleeping/bedside sleeping). But man yes I can relate on the freedom when they are finally in their own room too!

Girrrrl. The Lord is speaking right to me through this video. Dang! I hear you Lord!

I love your flowers!

I would LOVE a video about newborns and how you cope with that stage. I just had my second child and she is 3 weeks old. I am exclusively breastfeeding and she only sleeps an hour at a time at night. It’s so challenging to give my 4 year old what he needs during the day because I’m so exhausted. Any tips?!

Give yourself grace...take as much of a break as you need. Baby wearing has been great for me and the babies as well as freeing up time for your other children. Include your little one in what you are doing and take a break with them and read a book they choose. This stage is short lived.
