Hi Lisa, thank you for your videos.... what do you use to make flower? where can I get that machine from? What type of grain do you use? Thank you..!!!

[@BebeDaull]

Why did the boy at 1:35 kick that chicken?

[@valerieleblanc8066]

Boys will be boys. They don’t think every action through. Besides, he kicked the fencing…

[@tanyagreen8216]

We also follow the “If you’re not hungry for dinner, you’re not hungry for desert” rule, and it has done wonders for my toddlers. We also love the “Try one bite of everything on your plate”. They don’t have to eat everything, especially if it’s something they don’t like (steamed carrots, I’m looking at you…) but one bite is the rule. My daughter who was particularly picky often says (when she tries a vegetable she assumed she didn’t like) “Mommy, I like it now!” Just the other week I gave her a 2nd helping of cauliflower! Proud mama 😊

[@FlapjackR]

We do that too but I do distinctly remember myself, siblings and cousins claiming that the dessert stomach is a different place to the main meal stomach as children so I can’t help but feel a bit guilty about it haha.

[@kathleengallagher2659]

I just love ❤️ seeing your daughter in the kitchen! She reminds me of you!! She even dresses like you! I believe that many, many families would like to bring up their children in an environment like yours. It's old-fashioned and wonderful!

[@Nicereview763]

Great hobbies, how many teenagers are interested in cooking, sewing and wood working rather than phones, fashion, social media and computer games!

[@rashmimathur5318]

It really is a refreshing change and a treat to watch her daughters.

[@kellyann771]

It happens when parents raise and train their children, not the "village". Leading by example and close interaction is hard work, for both mother and child, and the payoff is priceless.

[@peggygilbertsen9099]

Let’s not forget this is KZbin. They have a good life, but kids are kids .

[@martaacosta4415]

These kids are homeschooled. Makes all the difference in the world. No punk friends from bad homes. Their siblings and parents, along with maybe cousins and other homeschooled kids, are their peers.

[@lindaanber6717]

Don't give them a choice... keep them off electronics. They'll be better people because of it.

[@whitneyriddle1088]

Lisa, I found your channel recently and I am in awe of you and your family. I’m an only child and was always very lonely, even if I didn’t know it. Seeing a family like yours is so foreign to me but something I envy! You also inspired me to have a third baby & we recently found out I’m pregnant! 🎉 I will continue to watch your content for inspiration and I just wanted to thank you for all you do. ❤

[@theresabrown1272]

You will love having 3!

[@wilmawagler5058]

That’s great big families are a challenge but so many blessings.

[@jacquelynroe9036]

I’m an only child too and always wanted a full house and lots of siblings! (I’m blessed to have a bunch of cousins who I grew up close to, so that was fun.) We had our third baby last year. He’ll be our last for a few reasons, but it’s been so fun to have a full, loud house ❤ Congratulations and best wishes to you! ❤

[@glorystyles7156]

I love this channel, too! I find it inspiring and lovely. It isn't necessary to have a whole passel of children to enjoy these homemaking skills, however. Many people can't manage that, and it's also important to acknowledge that our planet is already vastly overpopulated. Blessings!

[@wilmawagler5058]

Not having children is not the place to stop “over population .” We were at a neighborhood Christmas party of college educated people. I told my husband something was glaringly missing there are no children. People have up to 8 dogs and treat them like children.

[@sarac3325]

My goodness, you should win an award for homemaking! You're amazing!

[@candycec908]

I too enjoy seeing your daughter, actually both daughters in this video, working alongside their mother. What good memories you are making with them, Lisa! You have such a calm way of homemaking. You do such lovely things to make your home cozy, inviting, and peaceful. God bless you!

[@trismama1290]

I’m 30 living on my homestead with 6 kids (homebirth as well) and this is just my favorite channel. I really resonate with the thoughtful slow living videos. I get overwhelmed very easily if I try to do too much. I loved the idea of the food gifts too! Something I can afford and everyone says they love my bread

[@maryalicehuffstetler3026]

I enjoy watching your children help you and your husband with the chores. It brings back memories of my childhood.

[@rm5127]

Everything is so gorgeous! What wonderful ideas you have and how beautifully everything is done. You have inspired me....thank you.

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

I'm so glad!

[@louiselill1528]

Back in the 60s when I was born my mum always made sure we had meat and vegetables every night for tea and that I thank her for because now there is very little I don't like I don't like celery, rhubarb, olives and cheesecake but everything else I'll try

[@allsmiles2938]

Favorite channel ever ❤️ I'm 41 with 3 kids, and you've inspired me. I'll be making my first sourdough starter soon. I'm looking forward to baking bread for my family. I've been going through the sourdough course of yours that I bought. Very helpful with lots of great information and videos. Well worth it! Thank you!!! 😊

[@Hair4Thought]

For Thanksgiving this year my mom made the cranberry sauce and used pineapple instead of orange (her orange had gone moldy so she got creative) and then accidentally added ginger instead of clove. It was delicious!! We all loved it, even those who normally don’t like cranberry sauce.

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Sounds good!

[@KendallVanZyl-nn2tz]

You are so so blessed. I wish I could have 8 children what a major blessing. ❤❤❤ You are truly blessed by God. ❤

[@heatherathome545]

The cranberry wreath you baked looks sooo good! How nice to have your girls helping you in the kitchen. Your house is looking so cozy and Christmasy!

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Thank you so much!

[@elizabethdirks6533]

Thank you for sharing your homemaking with others. Your videos have been the most inspirational to my cooking and baking. It showed me that, with practice, the cooking process of homemade, whole foods could become a regular day occurrence without taking up as much mental energy. You have transformed the impressive and highly involved meals into muscle memory simple everyday meals. More about using what needs to be eaten at the time and I love it! Thank you... so much.

[@angelahagood3639]

It’s refreshing to see that you can provide healthy food without having to cave in to picky eaters. I once ate at a friend’s home and her mother prepared a feast. We sat down, had the blessing, and her six year old complained that there wasn’t mac and cheese. The grandmother got up and went to the kitchen to cook this child a box of mac and cheese. My friend just continued to eat and said nothing.😳 We we’re raised like your kids, and I’m thankful. My Mama cooked from scratch, there were no chicken nuggets three times a day. Now, I’m married to a picky eater and some days I want to scream! Baked acorn squash with sausage and apples…sounds like heaven. Won’t happen in this household. I guess I live vicariously through your lovely kitchen! Those Christmas mugs are adorable! Can I hire your girls to cook and decorate for my church small group party? LOL! What talented teens!! Thank you for your channel! 🎄🥰🙌🏻

[@theresabrown1272]

Try cooking different things and maybe your husband will try them and like them. If you are doing the cooking , cook what you like and I bet there’s a good chance your husband will come around . Just a thought . 💕💕

[@sarahcampbell6634]

I just stumbled upon your site 2 days ago and I’m enjoying it tremendously. I’m 72 and find it interesting and encouraging to do more even at my age.

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Welcome aboard!

[@jessicabulloch5302]

Lisa what a joy to see you and your girls working together in the kitchen and dresses in mat hing outfits. Im a mom to 8 as well, 5 sons 3 daughters. We lo e baking desserts as well. Bless your family.

[@gracec7179]

Ur so cute for this comment

[@philippapay4352]

We have deserts with Sunday supper, when guests have joined us, and for special occasions, holidays. Otherwise, we do not have them. It makes it easier to have the children expect they must eat their actual meal, which contains most of the nutrients. All the food you made looks delectable. I love to see the kids watching you make something and await it with happy expectation.

[@Avigailish]

I agree. You don't have to participate in this tradition of dessert at every meal. This is a completely modern invention. Dessert is usually on special occasions at my place😅

[@theresabrown1272]

@@Avigailish but it doesn’t make it wrong if some families choose differently!

[@simplebee2366]

New to the channel, and I now see homemaking in a whole new light! Thank you for up lifting the roll of mom's and importance of creating a nurturing home. Almost all disfunction children came from unstable home life. The problem is not mental disease in kids, it's the absence of simplicity and loving parents.

[@Libby-z4m]

Lovely Gift!!💝 love your channel and love how your girls are being challenged to do their own thing in kitchen!!❤😊

[@christinawatkinsyoutube]

Wow! 8 kids is not an easy task, you do it with what seems like a lot of grace. Those older kids helping is so wonderful to watch. Keep at it mama ❤

[@sarah35557]

The tiny one stacking wood. It can definitely slow down your tasks, but if it isn’t the sweetest watching them learn right along us.

[@CindyDriggers]

Hi Lisa I have left you several comments on my sourdough journey and how miserable I have failed. I am on day two for the 3rd time and I am hoping I have figured it out. I have an electric stove and granite countertops so I have no place in my kitchen to keep my starter warm so I took a chance on placed my heating pad on the kitchen counter on low and placed my jar on top. Lo and behold my starter is finally rising and bubble. I am praying I have it right this time and will be making bread soon. Hopefully if anyone else is having trouble maybe this would help them. You are such a smart cookie I wish I had your talents and I just love watching your daughter in the kitchen with you.

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Glad to hear that is working for you...don't give up!

[@miriammarquez4061]

Beautiful video! A quick suggestion for you is to always wash your knife after you sharpen it because it will have metal shavings that can go into your food.

[@gcrousseau]

I came here to leave the same comment😅 I recently learned this too. I was horrified when I looked closely and saw all the tiny metal shavings that I had not noticed before.

[@scarrier4535]

This was such a cozy video! Thank you so much for putting out your content. I can barely begin to describe how helpful and inspiring it is for us new homemakers out here. I share your content with all my young mom friends because a lot of us were not raised with a mother in the home or a cohesive family that taught us the skills we need. Your recipes and advice are so practical yet inspiring in both aesthetic and execution. And the fact that you share your debt-free, self-sufficient, and homeschool principles with the world is a tremendous blessing for those of us dreaming about creating the same lifestyle! May your family have an absolutely magical holiday season!

[@elaineclevenger3239]

Wow, you are really spoiling your baby,plus your going to have back trouble one day! I love the farm house,it’s cozy

[@MrsSheffield]

You're right, when you reach a certain age, you don't want any more "things"...hopefully by a certain age, you realize what's more important, the people, experiences and love in life. :). I would love homemade food as gifts during the holidays, or for birthdays, etc.

Giving handmade gifts is priceless as well as thoughtful. It's like love in a box❤❤❤

[@yvonnejohnson2109]

I started to use lamps. It is nice at night to just have the lamps on and the Christmas tree lights on. It helps to make it feel more relaxing.

[@TheMennomilist]

It is so nice that your older kids are pretty good on their own with doing things. Even with having older boys (older than your girls), I still have to repeat myself of things they need to do to get ready for their day, so perhaps girls are better about that. I always love watching you prep foods!

[@bluekatgal7300]

I prefer homemade gifts. When I was young housewife with little money, I often made gifts for my brothers, sisters and parents. All were provided by love, not money. My grandchildren know I prefer these gifts. Thank you for showing the best of life.

[@cathyholcombe4674]

How I remember those days when feeding my kids. When I would serve the main meal, they would eat a bite or two or just move the food around on their plate. Then they would say they were full and then asked for dessert. I would say, since you are to full to finish your supper, then you are to full for dessert.

[@lifeoutnumbered]

Oh my that four poster bed is gorgeous

Lisa, I wanted to mention that I just picked up a new memoir yesterday & thought of you so much! It is called "The Farmer's Wife" ( by Helen Rebanks ) & it is about a woman that runs a farm with her family & talks about all of the details of her life, finding joy in the daily tasks & also talking about what is hard & what is abundant. I saw it in the bookstore & thought..... this is for me..... possibly it'd be for you, too! : )

Have you tried planting (non- stop) Begonias? They make a fantastic display right up to the first frost, then you lift them the same as the Dahlias for the winter. After the frosts are over, place the begonia corms, hollow side down just on top of some soil (you can start this indoors if you have a sunny spot.) once rooted, be ready for a great display of colour, they really are non-stop flowerers. (I think I just made up a word.). I love your videos, even though I’m disabled and mostly in bed, I can bake vicariously with you!

To make the apples go thru the foley mill easier, I do a quick blend first with the immersion blender to get the big lumps & bumps out. I feel like i can get more sauce out of the discarded skins that way too. Lovely bread!!!

[@stevekariseoneill4636]

I don’t know any other way to say this, but I really appreciate how you make a mess in your kitchen. I love how you use it how it’s is supposed to be used and don’t mind the mess in the process. I like seeing how you kinda eyeball stuff and aren’t too precious about being perfect with recipes and such. And still, everything you set out to do comes out so well. I admire this about you. I think I need more of just doing in my kitchen. Less of everything being perfect. I made a loaf of banana bread today while my kids were setting the lunch table and then I made stuffed squash for dinner (before I watched this video😂) and it felt so good to just make something my family appreciates in the cracks of life. You inspire many, dear Lisa.
