Daily Life On A Friday | a chatty vlog, cleaning, current reads etc....vlog 158

[@gwouellette]

I have only recently become acquainted with your KZbin channel, but i love the peaceful nature of it..through the work or play or worship times. The closing scripture you showed was uplifting. Thank you.

[@karend9445]

Ok I’m sure you’ve answered this before but I can’t find it. Where does Kona sleep? I know lots of big dogs like Shepard’s like to be outside even in winter so I was just wondering. I thought it might be interesting if you did a blog on the colony from Kona’s point of view. Where she sleeps, what she eats, who are her doggie friends, does she have favorite places to walk with you?

Giselle thanks for this unexpected vlog. Thank you for this vlog it uplifted my day. Thanks for the cleaning tips. When you read it’s so relaxing. You get lost in a different world. Thanks for taking us on your cleaning journey. Love the music. Have a great and blessed weekend.

[@D.N..]

Gilbaum, since you live on a Kibbutz in Israel, how does your community come together for work, cleaning etc ?

[@dennisneffendorf7430]

Hope you're okay. I miss hearing from you and watching your ongoing adventures. Anxiously waiting for vlog 159.

[@lisagiesbrecht4260]

That song at the end took me back almost 50 years to my days in school. We used to sing that song and it was always a favourite. Thank you for sharing it.

You all pull together and put difference aside to love thy neighbour and always be willing to help when needed.. You are a true inspiration Giselle and i look forward to all of your uploads.

[@debrachan1899]

That was a busy day! Lots of cleaning and laundry. I remember reading that book a long time ago, sometimes it is so relaxing to read and cuddle in a comfy chair with a good book! Kona is so loving and follows you everywhere ❤️Thank you for sharing your day with us 😊

[@nadurkee46]

I liked The Robe, also The Big Fisherman, and also White Banners all by Lloyd C. Douglas, good reads, all of them.

[@ozarkview928]

Loved to see a day in your life . I’d love to see a wild flower update 😊

[@Veronique-108]

Thank you for taking us along on your friday chores. Your videos show how all these small simple things in life can all be valued and appreciated. It's going about your day and finding joy in theses simple things that make life beautiful. Much love to you!

[@gisellewaldner9406]

Thank you and much love to you 😊

[@jethro1963]

@@gisellewaldner9406 I am curious and have an off topic question. I was on a Hutterite colony in Alberta in 1978, they were pretty hardcore, no TV, radio etc IIRC someone told me they did have a radio for weather reports. My question is how does your colony feel about TV, I've never seen one in your blogs and if you do have one is it discouraged. Nowadays everything is content and your computer/tablet/smartphone is basically a TV. I really don't see a difference in watching content on TV or a phone. So I am wondering what the colony's guidelines (if any) there are towards TV or phones. It might surprise you that I had a career in network TV news and think the Hutterites I saw in 1978 probably had it right, and agree with one of the fathers of TV Isaac Shoenberg who said TV" was one of the greatest time wasters of all time, I hope you use it well". :)

[@markieyak1813]

Thank you! I needed this. I am striving to just live in the moment. I think you do that.

[@sherriechampion7979]

Fridays no matter the season are filled with things to do, I love following your day and getting inspired to do the things I need! Have a wonderful week! ❤❤🎉🎉🙏🙏

[@teamlarsen8617]

I feel the same way! Inspired 🌠❤.

I really look forward to your vlogs. You are a blessing

[@pennelopewade8404]

I also use white vinegar when I wash

[@michellesunshinestar]

I do laundry at the laundromat too. Saves so much time to do it all at once. I read at the laundromat.

[@sarahrickman6609]

I was just wandering about your wild flowers and how their doing down by the river?

[@teresaspringer4129]

The first few moments with the light streaming through your room was so beautiful . You do such a wonderful job of editing your videos. Thank you for sharing

[@gerardlehane7477]

Thank you for your vlog. All the best to you and your family and Colony.From Co Cork Ireland😀

[@michellesunshinestar]

Knee pads are a good idea!! I bought a kneeling pad. It's still a "haul" It's nice that you can help out in so many different areas. I need to clean a lot tomorrow.

[@clarebear6736]

What a wonderful surprise seeing this vlog from you! I so look forward to your vlogs as they are like a ray of sunshine to me. ❤

Good morning sweet Giselle and blessings from Medina Ohio USA❣️

[@spunkycat6144]

I love to see people doing laundry. I always feel l like I am the only one who cannot do laundry inside my place. I do have to drive to a laundry mat and pay, so you are lucky.

[@sianmorgan6503]

Nice vlog your dog is gorgeous, your a beautiful young lady blessing from OZ 🙏🙏❤️❤️

[@rosannasauereisen2827]

I've toured two colonies here in Manitoba with my children and fellow homeschoolers now. On top of that, I am reading a book on the value of community. It made me think of my tours to colonies. It is so hard to have community in my life. Everyone is so busy being independent on their farms or acreages! It is a tiring life sometimes.

[@discovr4me]

I love your dog follows and waits for you 💗💗

[@christineiscrocheting]

Another glimpse into a Hutterite day💜

[@swampophelia2098]

Your mum is so fortunate to have such a helpful daughter, do you have sisters as well as brothers.

[@juliel3019]

I wasn’t expecting to see you today so that was a lovely surprise…..thank you!! 😊

[@AshCal10]

Greetings from Sacramento California 😊 I am a new viewer and it's a joy learning about you're Hutterite life and also thank you for the cleaning tip. I am definitely going to give it a try ❤

[@aspenenglish4976]

I needed a little bit of Giselle on a stressful day. I hope you’re not affected by the fires. I live in the southern USA and I can’t go outside. I’ve been having asthma attacks as well have a lot of people. I would come live a simpler life for sure on your colony. I’m over 45 so no cooking for me!

[@brightpurpleviking]

You might enjoy the classic The Silver Chalice by Thomas Costain. It’s a story about the cup used at the last supper. Well written and a good story! The movie in 1954 was horrible, though 😂

[@kathysharpe7339]

You are such a calming presence.

[@ellenmorrison5614]

Giselle I am the same way about raisins. Nothing worse then biting into a cookie that you think is chocolate chip and it turns out to be raisin yuck. The only other place they belong is in trail mix

[@AnitaK196]

I quit using coconut shortening or oil because it was effecting my cholesterol levels. Never had problem with my cholesterol levels until I started using it and was put on medication. I stopped using it and my levels returned to normal and no longer needed the medication. That was about 6 years ago, It was the only change I had made in my diet so was easy to figure out. (Seeing the coconut shortening you had reminded of this.)

[@dougswife29]

Loved the grocery haul😂 made my day. Even repetitive I love the clean day, thank you.

[@homegrown1015]

Giselle, you are certainly a busy beaver! I'm much like you for I have to be busy all day...no time to be bored!

[@joycel242]

Lovely Kona, loves to be a lap baby. Sweet pup. I enjoyed visiting with your day and and yes, thank you for the cleaning formulas as well. Surprise, I wash with vinegar too! Also I like to use it as a weed killer for those pesky weeds that sprout between our pavers. Sometimes I have to "switch gears" from cleaning to do other odd bits as well, especially if it's a large cleaning job. Do the diene in your colony have to wash the cars too?

[@denisewalsh6941]

Thanks for another vlog. I have just completed my Friday cleaning, washing & ironing 🥵

[@judymcintire8061]

Definitely going ti try that coffee. I like to fast but can't drink coffee black. When you said you can drink it w/out cream I thought maybe I could too! Thank Giselle!👍💖

[@x_Dude1]

Natural white vinegar - use it also - stuff in chemical softeners is ... It shows how all is kept tidy.

[@rebeccanichol]

Thank you, that was very interesting. I love using vinegar for cleaning, I used to do a lot of cleaning in the church and the priest called me "Dr Vinegar" and other people would think I was eating food when I was cleaning!😂The priest said the vinegar smell was bad for his asthma but I said that dust would be worse!😂. I also use vinegar as a hair rince as it makes the cutcle of the hair lie flat so it shines more and doesn't tangle so easily.

[@gisellewaldner9406]

Ohh It's a wonderful thing 😊

[@teamlarsen8617]

Giselle my friend, how exciting it is to get this surprise vlog! ❤ I'm excited every time you post, but it's always fun to see one when you're not expecting it. 😊😊😊

Have read that book Giselle, but there is 2 more books in the series. Very good story.

I loved The Passage when I read it years ago, and I am reading The Robe right now because of your recommendation a while back. :D

I like Dandy Blend! It is very close in taste to coffee. I also use Teechino.

[@natalieangus9245]

I just loved this vlog. You do have a full day!

Bonjour Giselle merci pour vos merveilleuses vidéos

[@GoingGreenMom]

Was that a PDF pattern for doll clothes? Lol. I may be spending a lot of time on sewing lately. 😂

[@gisellewaldner9406]

For clothes yes, but I believe it was something that you could use to practice making dresses or the blouse part 😊

[@hilda1170]

How are your wild flowers doing? Thanks for share with us.

[@Sarah-zg5qs]

For cleaning I like to use Vinegar and Peppermint oil and a bit of soap. I clean everything with it, including floors. I also live in Manitoba, smile I drink dandelion root tea, and I love it. Where do you buy the Dandi blend?

[@patriciagreene5842]

I didn’t think we would see you for awhile 👋🫶

[@cindiallain8542]

Giselle thank you so much for explain the Dadylion drink. I’m going to try it. Did the flowers in the woods come up? Thank you for the video. Hello Priscilla

[@sallym9769]

Loved your grocery haul lol!!!😉

[@elizabethsleison6079]

Homemaker tip, please, Giselle. When you do laundry is there a pretreat you put on stains? I to love to wash with white vinegar. Wonderful vlog and always helpful!!

[@KellyS_77]

Have you ever tried making citrus scented vinegar? Basically it's just citrus peels (oranges, lemons, etc) you put them in a jar and pour white vinegar over it. Put a cover on the jar and let it sit for a month or so, then strain out the citrus peels. You get something that smells like citrus but works like vinegar.

[@strawberrymage7352]

Do you happen to have a link for where you buy the dandy blend coffee alternative, please? Thank you!

[@pennyduncan5980]

Giselle will you do a video on the practical ways in which you use vinegar, please. We appreciate your blogs Giselle. Thank you.

[@samhofer7951]

Happy Friday we have a wedding this weekend the grooms grand parent's live at OB COLONY

[@cherylvl1036]

I agree, Raisin Bran is the only place where raisins are acceptable!

[@KarenAveritt]

This vlog has such a happy feel to it - it makes me want to enjoy the chores I have this afternoon. Do you have a lot of deer ticks in your colony as well as the wood ticks and does the vinegar work for both?

[@spunkycat6144]

When I read books, if it is mine, I write the characters in a genogram or family tree on the inside cover. If it is a library book, i make a paper bookmark and do the same. It helps me with character development when there are lots of players.

[@lw3733]

Thank you for your video!

[@gisellewaldner9406]

You are welcome

[@jeannine1739]

I've never tried Dandy Blend, but I like Pero quite a bit. Similar idea, but made of barley, I think, and not dandelions. :)

[@nancybest21]

Thank you for another very lovely blog. When you did your laundry, did you use vinegar only?

[@francestsoukalidis8401]

"Best seller" can be a misleading description: often books are bought but not always read. A NY book seller used to insert $5 vouchers in the back of the current best sellers but found that very few of them were redeemed. Love your peonies: it is a bit too hot in our part of Australia to have lots of blooms.

[@ChristaDeJong-s2b]

I recommend Francine Rivers as an author if you get a chance read her books!!

[@user-dk9vt2eq3u]

Is it possible to join a colony as an outsider? I have a bad left ankle but other than that I'm physically capable and willing to work.

[@steph9530]

Is catching Lyme disease from the ticks a concern on the colony?

[@jenstewark8087]

What a wonderful surprise to see this vlog I so wish i could hire you to come do a clean in my house It’s clean but not as clean as yours Something i just haven’t been that good at doing

Whatcha printing there? Looks like an alteration booklet! Oh do share the name :)

[@tknight9309]

QUESTION: 1. What type of fabric are your dresses? They look so nice and never wrinkle. 2. Do little kids wear the same clothes and head coverings as the adults? 3. Do you watch TV or go to movies? 4. If nobody actually liked a tradition in your colony (ie ham sandwich on Sunday), how do you go about changing that tradition? 5. Does Kona get to come into the house during Winter?

[@MyArnette]

Thanks for posting such a very interesting life. Do you all share Christ with the unsaved? Gee how does that work? It would be interesting to hear reviews from the books you read.
