Day in the life of a homemaker and mom of 8

[@CountessKek]

Hi Lisa, this will sound weird because i am much older than you, but you remind me so much of my sweet Momma( gone since 2017 God bless her) She AND you are such good housewives and mothers. She raised 7 of us and did it with love and grace and always had smiles and good food for us ungrateful wretches😂. I call her an earth mother because it was so natural to her, she LOVED babies and except for 4 miscarriages, would have had several more. She handled every challenge with grace, never complaining and always kept a beautiful house. You truly embody her principles- thank you for the walk down memory lane- Momma would be proud of you!❤❤❤

[@mimic3124]

That is such a sweet compliment. Your Momma was amazing. Lovely to read❤

[@dotgoodwin4312]

How sweet u r to say such nice things about your mother!

[@theresiamerglewski5845]

Omg I have a huge lump in my throat 😭🥹❤️

[@angelaroberts6077]

I,had to smile when you said something about “lazy.” You and “lazy” are not compatible. You are always so,productive and creative. It is a joy to see.❤️

[@rhiannonstewart4207]

Working smarter not harder, is what I like to say lol😂

[@inessakovalenko1437]

Watching this video gives me an overwhelming feeling of giving praise to our Lord! He is so Good to us!!! What a beautiful motherhood journey! Blessings!

[@johnniealford25]

So very true!❤

[@staciaparkes4998]

Praise God!

[@pennee365]

I love that when you clean, it’s real. It reflects closely to many of our realities.

[@sharonk8279]

Kudos to you and Luke..moving 8 children, farm animals and live sourdough starter 😊! Appears like you didn't miss a beat..getting right back into being a mom and homemaker!! 👍👍👍

[@breallred19]

This was so motivating, but in a way that is calm and not stressful. Thank you for your family-friendly content!

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Thank you, I appreciate you watching!

[@theresabrown1272]

***LISA… please be careful when doing things like stepping on the dryer. My sister is a nurse who works with spinal/ neck injuries. Shes told me that many accidents happen when people do things that they are used to doing even though it can be risky. Theres a false sense of confidence that develops but freaky accidents happen and the injuries can be serious. Your family needs you so please be very very careful. Ok?? ❤️🥰

[@lauramitchell6725]

At 16:00, your shoe dresser looks very thirsty! Mix up some Murphy’s Oil Soap with water and go over it with a wrung out soft cloth. It not only cleans the wood but also nourishes it. I also keep some in a spray bottle to clean wicker baskets in the shower then rinse and hang to dry. (The baskets I already have and especially those from the thrift store.)

[@lindasmith5190]

As much as I hated to see you leave your prior house, I love this one too!

[@sydneyjones4489]

I loved the last house, but this house is SO stunning

[@Jacline685]

I love your new home so much. It is just so beautiful and cozy. Feels so positive and comfortable. At the same time I'm excited to see your new build on the new farm. How lucky we are that we get to watch all of it on your channel! Hoping for lots of daily life/decorating/homemaking videos in these houses. Thanks for keeping up the work with the KZbin channel. It's been one of my absolute favorites for years.

[@cynthiaperovich310]

I really enjoyed this video. I loved seeing the other things you do in a day besides cooking and baking. It made it more relatable and real. Loves seeing the glimpses of kids and kids activities. Its also fun seeing how you adjusted and settled into a new house. Its easy to think that your life is the way it os because of a certain house. But you really do make a house a home. ❤

[@maryabbott9680]

So great to see you back at it after getting settled in Lisa! Your shorts are great, but your longer videos truly inspire and motivate me. Your meals look scrumptious as usual. ☺️♥️

[@OurHomeInTheWoods]

Enjoyed the cleaning and organizing side of this video. You are my go-to video when I need a calming reset… life is already so fast, cleaning and homemaking shouldn’t be a race… thank you for reminding us of that. 😊

[@katarinafarley7959]

This might actually be my favorite video you’ve ever done! Your “new” home is so beautiful and cozy. This video felt so calming and approachable, and I loved the tiny snippets of the kids. I loved seeing the kids playing in the couch cushions because that’s what my home looks like too! Thanks for a lovely video 😊

[@britaneelilly8147]

It's so refreshing to see an influencer sweep an actually dirty floor. I run my robot vac twice a day and I swear my socks are always covered in dog fur (it's shed season haha) and tiny snips of paper from kid crafts. And I only have 3 kids!

[@sueleeg3215]

Your "temporary" home is just beautiful. I love the cozy little kitchen.

[@chalklinecrossfit8999]

I’m just over here watching that bowl with a towel on it right next to an open flame and wanting to reach over and move it for you 😅

[@annmcevoy9299]

Flour can catch fire, too. Use caution near a stove or open flame.

[@ThePoetInMyHeart]

I was getting anxiety over that towel too 🫣

[@kimoverpeck1065]

Same!!! I was like Lisa!!!

[@phoebedigs1356]

I wish I was getting all those eggs from just a few chickens. I have like 19 and I might get 3 or 4 a day this time of year. I think this new house is my favorite so far. Your sink and cabinets are the same as I have. My house was built in 1955.

[@cynthiafisher9907]

Same with my chickens, but they do seem to be ramping up a bit since I put the light in their coop.

[@ritahamm1893]

Your photography skills are second to none. I love your attention to detail and your ability to make old worn things look so fashionable ( couldn’t find the right word). All while making whole nutritious foods. I am so excited for your book to come as I bought it for my daughter as a Christmas present. I’m also excited for my wheat berries to come from azure so that I can start the mill journey. 🤗. I love this house you are in. It is beautiful and can’t wait to join the journey of the new build if you share that journey.

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Thank you so much, I will be sharing our journey.

[@ritahamm1893]

Thank you!

[@jessicakivett7838]

I got your sourdough cookbook for Christmas and I've been baking up a storm! I made the Brownie, the crackers, and the bagels. I'll be baking through the whole book eventually. So far I love it

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

I love to hear that, keep baking!

[@dremamccoy2004]

You amaze me. With the children you have, you still make time to cook from scratch & keep an awesome home. Blessings to you & your family❤

[@susiet2150]

I love, love, love spelt FMF for tortillas. 2.5 C flour 1.5 t salt .5 t BP 1/3 C lard 1 C hot water Mix dry ingredients then blend in lard. Slowly add water, only enough to get a cohesive dough. Make 12-15 balls and allow them to rest(covered w a tea towel) for 30 minutes. Roll out and cook on hot grill. Really yummy and taste as good as the “unhealthy” tortillas I grew up with in South Texas.

[@lauramitchell6725]

At 7:00, seeing the towel next to the lit burner made me so nervous,maybe they are farther apart than they appear on screen.😬😳

[@NancyMorse]

Yes, I thought the same thing.

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

there is more space than it looked and the towel was wet .....

I totally get when you say you have to work with the house! We just moved from our old house into the house that was my husband’s Father and step-mom’s home. Definitely still making adjustments.

[@egyptiandaughter2818]

I wish i was able to enjoy homemaking the way you do! You make it beautiful. My beginning in life is why i cant seem to embrace it the way I want to. Keep being a blessing to us moms with 4, 6, 8 plus children. You are amazing!!❤

Just do the next thing, we can’t all be Lisa Basses. I’m sure you add to your world in a beautiful way!

I try to do little things that delight me while I work....nice uplifting music...some flowers or fresh greenery....lighting a candle etc. that helps!

[@pennykutz8150]

I've just started milling the whole grain berries with the Mockmill. My grandson suggested I use ear protection because it is so loud. What a great idea to save hearing loss. You might consider this on your young ears!

[@terrilloyd3691]

When you build your new house you could take a look at Zoe Kim and Matt Paxtons house in, “raising Simple.” They have a laundry, mud room, where everyone has a cubby with a door and shelves below. It is sort of a locker system. Cubby was a good size for coats and backpack. I think there is a bathroom there too. Such a great idea and a hardworking room. They have a blended family with 7 children. This house is lovely. Happy new year.🥳

[@AllisenByrd]

I live right by Bread Beckers! Very cool. ❤ I get my grains from there.

[@shellydehart8217]

I wish I had half of your energy. God bless you Lisa I just don’t know how you do it. As far as I’m concerned you should be rewarded as mother of the year. You do everything n I mean everything. I’m so happy that this house you n Luke found was perfect as you build your new home. Happy New Year! ♥️🥰🥰👍👍🌟

[@TammyB-x2h]

I’ve been reorganizing my house too. I already have two bags of stuff to donate. I walked through my clean organized kitchen and I felt like I could breathe again.

[@FineFeatheredHomestead]

Just milled kamut into flour and made flatbread with a yeast recipe. Popped it in the fridge overnight to rise slowly and let the fresh whole grain absorb more liquid and soften. Wow! Sure made great, soft and yummy flatbread!

[@suzanneporterfield3631]

Love this video! In addition to the cooking and organizing, i couldn't help but notice your cute jeans! What is the brand? They look very comfortable!

[@joyces.9021]

I tried subbing all whole wheat flour for your sourdough sandwich bread recipe and added just a bit more honey, as I remember you suggesting, and it turned out great! My new favourite.

[@jituledvacet9002]

Thank you,Lisa.

[@rnjohnson85]

I grew up on all fresh milled grains. One thing my mom taught me is to mill extra to store in the freezer to always have on hand. Freezing helps retain nutrients and keep the flour from spoiling after it’s milled. So nice when you need a little flour but don’t have time to mill fresh 🤌🏼

[@lauramitchell6725]

With the way she cooks three “from scratch” meals a day for ten people,her flour probably NEVER goes bad!😂🤣😅

[@crazydoxylady7169]

I had that exact white gas range in my new build in 2004. I miss it. I now have a smooth top electric range. It's a convection oven so I do like that feature however, there is nothing better than natural gas for any application in a home. Heating and hot water included. I like this home and it will be a great "inbetween" until you guys finish your new build!

[@mlm7598]

Love that house. It is so cozy and reminds me of homes I grew up in. Great memories! Happy New Year, excited to see the start of the new home as well.

[@debraburgess2764]

I spent a year up north in Terrace BC and started baking bread and was very successful. Then moved down to Victoria BC and found baking wasn't working. Then realized had a mind shift to whole grains in general and that was why because hadn't taken account of differences. Gradually learned how to do to a degree but it's been many, many years since baking bread. Want to do some baking, this year may at least try buns again.

[@GraceGrantedBeliever]

Just such a wonderful life! Enjoy as always!

Those are the same grains I pretty much exclusively use as well with the addition of Barley. I love barley for cream of wheat and quick breads so I am getting the added nutrients in barley as a different whole grain. Plus I love the flavor

I also make an enchilada casserole. I typically make extra black beans and shredded chicken, then freeze them for future use in this casserole. I sometimes have extra frozen enchilada sauce as well. My next step is to try to make tortillas because the store bought are all full of chemicals.
