Since watching you and the way you home make, I have definitely lifted my game. Im 63 and had lost my cleaning and homemaking mojo. I thought that if you can do all that you do with 8 children, then when its just my husband and I now, I can achieve more., s O my house has been re sorted and I have gotten rid of a lot of stuff that I didn’t need. My kitchen and pantry are the most organised they have ever been and I’m baking bread. Thank you for your enthusiasm, your ideas and not sweating the small stuff ❤️

[@yakisha6148]

She really is a great decorator, and an outstanding example. I just started watching her, I had never heard of her before and she is a Heaven sent, and very inspiring. I got to feeling down and defeated watching her video's, for I too had a bit of a mojo loss. But God told me stop beating yourself up, this girl is much younger than you, and when you were younger, you were the same way...moving and grooving too, did you forget? I said yes Lord, I forgot..haahaa. So don't feel intimated when you see younger people doing so much ok, just remember you once were the exact same way too, you use to move around just like that too, don't forget. Just go at your own pace. Your an awesome homemaker too Ma'am ok. God bless you.🎉🥧🌹😊

[@louise27574]

Hardest working KZbinr around. Always posts on schedule- even when she was having a baby. Always fresh videos no recycled video. This is why you are so successful. Other KZbinrs could follow your example.

[@ciaragracelewis]

So true! Posting on schedule, has a team so she can focus on what she needs to, all with 8 kids. 🔥

[@thishouseloves]

Other KZbinrs could have different goals and dreams so not really good comparison but agree she’s a great poster!!

[@debrademedici864]

Hopefully young women who just became homemakers are watching your channel!!!! You are an inspiration!!! Such great ideas to help young homemakers get on the right track as they get started !!! My Nannie always said if you get it out you must put it away !!!! That helped me out getting Organized

[@smabernethy]

If you bake every single day,there is nothing better than a Hoosier. Created with a home economy efficiency study in 1911 (?) The Hoosier was a staple in country homes for 50 years. Mine was built in 1939 and still has a working flour mill,a porcelain prep tsble,spice cabinet,knife drawer,pull out cutting board,etc. It allows the baker to do all the prep in one space. I searched FB marketplace,antique stores,auctions and Craigslist. Hope someone finds this helpful if they don't have a ton of space!

[@tararoseberry3598]

I would love one. Just so hard to find decent at a decent price. But hoping one day I will. They are amazing!

[@rachellebrooke4614]

How neat!

[@janiceingle2131]

Please tell me what a Hoosier is

[@venicemitchell1407]

@@janiceingle2131a cabinet much like a China cabinet that stored all ur bake stuff and supplies in one spot. It also had grain mill, and other grinder etc etc accompaniments that a homemaker needed in one spot.

[@cynthiafisher9907]

@@janiceingle2131It’s a freestanding kitchen cabinet with (usually) two parts, a top shallower cupboard and a bottom deeper cupboard. The top one usually had a large bin to hold flour with a sifter you could access from outside at the bottom where the flour came out. They often also had a sugar dispenser. The bottom cupboard usually had an enamel work surface on top that slid out to make more space to roll out dough.

@9:00 speaking of your mom.. I would love to see her as a guest on ur podcast since she raised many beaut homemakers Mashalla I bet she has something valuable to share and her opinion about her daughters being online creatively 😊❤

[@alicardon1013]

Totally agree! 😊

Would be wonderful to bring on your dad and mom and your 2 sisters.

[@samanthab.3236]

I agree!

[@AM-bm2xw]

I was really skeptical that clearing off my countertops would make much of a difference, but it REALLY did! It makes the whole kitchen tidier, even if there are dirty dishes, and it makes everything feel SO much easier to clean. I would recommend anyone even just try it out!

[@juliebarrett8903]

Yes! A kitchen “refresh” changes the energy of the space, and the people who use it. Helping our kitchens WORK for us, instead of being chaotic, is my goal. I refresh my kitchen every season, and it refreshes me, too.

[@angelahagood3639]

Isn’t it like a breath of fresh air to do a no cost switch-a-roo in a room? You’re an ace at it! I like for my white cabinets and walls (they were the choice of the previous owners) to be clean, but they often look dingy because we really use our kitchen. And I don’t even have any children still running around! I purchased an off brand of Mr. Clean Magic Erasers and they are my go to solution to bring all that white back to life! It removes stains, grease marks, old stains that we inherited from the former administration, ink/pencil marks, and it even brightened up my old linoleum floor! Don’t know if these would work in your situation, but I’m sold! As always, good, useful information that we can all try on our own rooms! Love your channel!🙌🏻🫶🏻 Love the tip for buying and reusing thrift store frames!

[@janedodson7583]

You are an amazing young lady! You have a beautiful family and I can see how important they are to you. You have an amazing amount of energy to get everything finished and do an amazing job! Very enjoyable channel to watch. I’m retired and I don’t care for the TV especially the news. You keep up the great work. You are a blessing to your family.

[@phronsiekeys]

I call this "puttering" and I love doing it in my house. To me, it's a really enjoyable way to pass a cool rainy day.

[@anitawoollard7087]

There's an old phrase called "pottering around". I do a lot of that!

[@susandixon3970]

I enjoy your videos. You get me started…lol. I watch you cook then I go cook. I watch you clean and I throw my stuff in the trash. We really do have more than what we need and it ends up as clutter.

[@teresaroubal7237]

I had pears coming out of my ears this year and we only have 1 pear tree, I ended up with 30 quarts of pear juice, 17 quarts of pear cider vinegar, 45 quarts of canned pears

[@rachelhele7827]

Wow

[@rhiannancaraway]

That framed bedtime prayer that you put a fruit print in, I had that exact framed prayer hanging in m bedroom growing up. "Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep, guard me Jesus through the night, and wake me with the morning light." ❤

[@onepartwild]

Finally someone actually demonstrates how to use thrifted frames that have paper backing on them! I've been so intimidated for so long, not knowing what's behind the paper, thinking the picture behind it wouldn't be removable. I've skipped over so many frames that have paper backing for this silly reason! Thank you for showing it can be done!

[@tinaluu9810]

I feel the same way. I'm so thrifty and was afraid to ruin even a thrift store picture because not sure of the paper backing. Game changer for me now.

[@theresabrown1272]

You and your sister Laura are such hardworking women! You both take such wonderful care of your families ! Impressive!

[@heatheryoung9949]

I absolutely agree that we as women need to change our surroundings. It lifts my spirits to paint something or move around furniture. My husband won’t allow me to change anything. Only if we have an argument over it.

[@charlottecoker4036]

I was so glad to see you put the blue plate back on the shelf above you stove where you once had the blue I think that the salt box would really look good under your shelf above your stove it would really be handy but that splash of blue would be so pretty I just think that blue looks so good splashed around

[@bonicapinkroses4049]

When you were saying getting started is the hardest part (9:45 mins) it reminded me of the saying “if it’s a choice between all or nothing, nothing always wins”. When I’m struggling to get something started I say this to myself to remind me not to let nothing win. 🙂

I adore your kitchen. It is very beautiful. One of my favorite channels to follow. Thanks for sharing 🐔 🐄 🌻

[@HFTLH]

You know, if you really, really miss seeing those colorful eggs on your counter during the winter, you could do what my grandmother showed me once, where you make a small hole in each end of the egg, and you blow out the inside parts of the egg into a bowl. Then you can keep the empty eggshells to decorate with.

[@DorisAnn77]

I second the hardworking KZbinr comment! Love your channel ❤️ Love videos like these, when the weather and season changes, to see how things on the farm change as well! Thank you for all your hard work and wonderful content.

[@rosegoldcreates]

I heard someone say once that as homemakers, your kitchen goes through different seasons, so ine way, or organizing won't fit during wvery month of the year. So arrange your kitchen to match the season of life that you are in. This concept is similar to what you're talking about! Very true and helpful!

[@samanthahoos9827]

I had a friend’s sister visit and while I slept she cleaned my refrigerator later telling me I should be a better homemaker. 😂 At first I was mad, but later found out that her family uses her behavior to clean their homes for free ignoring her comments. Now that the garden doesn’t need me as much as warmer weather I’m finding myself in the kitchen for hours cooking/baking in the morning so later in the day I can focus on other tasks with all the meals ready to eat.

[@robynearl]

Send that friend my way please! My fridge needs a good s cleaning!

[@alecsgirl]

That is super funny. Good for you and her family being able to ignore her rudeness and appreciate work ethic. Talk about finding the silver lining.

[@martasarber7133]

Love your kitchen window. Have you ever thought of putting a shelf ablove the curtain rod and puting a few little pots of herbs you use??? Basil, Parsley, mint. Whatever ones you want. I think that wood look lively.

[@martasarber7133]

Typing too fast... supposed to be would Not wood. Lol

[@liZBBM]

So glad you've mentioned so much in my own life

[@TheMennomilist]

I also have to constantly go back to things to clean again and fix up. It is part of what life is. It is good that filming is what inspires you to change things up. I think that it can be so nice to rearrange things. I recently have come to wanting to rearrange some things, and have, but I have such a small place that there is little that can be done. I want to knock down walls and change up our rooms a bit even, which our landlord said we could do, but we also hope to get our own house at some point, so we haven't (though we've been in this location fifteen years out of our nineteen married). You did great by the way! I love how it looks now.

[@susanpaulson9010]

Loved the snap shot of Victor doing tummy time.

[@desireerobinsonco]

I love that you look at functionality first and then beauty. I do the same thing. All though I have been slacking on the beauty a bit. Great reminder to see what ways I can bring some new beauty in without clutter! Lol

Thanks for including us in this!! It's actually super fun seeing this happen since we live in your kitchen once a week 😂 so fun to see things switched around! It looked lovely still to me but I can tell this will add a pep in your step while working in the kitchen!!

[@joannenaylorsingersongwriter]

"The hardest part is getting started". Needed to hear that :)

[@HalinaMY]

I agree. Sometimes we just need to switch things up rather than buying new things everytime we get bored! Your kitchen was functional and practical to start with... now its even better!

[@samanthahoos9827]

My family puts together puzzles over the winter break between Christmas and New Year’s Day. We used to frame them to hang around the house or gift others. We still do this today. It’s a wonderful decoration for the home that also brings back memories of a family gathered event. My daughter hangs many in her preschool classroom and gifts them to some people who comment interest. She teaches her students by making puzzles of things that interest them and having them put the puzzles together on their own.

[@robynearl]

I'm a puzzler and my family puzzles too! Never thought about gifting them! Great idea!

[@blissletson9017]

I love the changes! I agree that moving things around is a good way to clear clutter and make things look neater.

[@tanyaclark3474]

I had a little kitchen refresh the other week, new door knobs, handles and a new tap. I also put a mirror on top of my splash back, behind my hob. What a difference it makes as its opposite the window so the light is reflected. Game changer.

[@judyfrantzen527]

You should paint the shelf above the stove a pretty green

[@mommabearofsix]

OHmygosh i love love love what you did with your kitchen.... It looks SO cozy!!! Thank you for articulating so well all this stuff. I always have felt like something was wrong with me, or that i was never happy with anything, for wanting to move things around, but to know that other homemakers feel that way too, is so comforting. It is so true, that without me even realizing it, that i get upset with things feeling cluttered and non functional.

[@Amacott99]

Just beautiful…..I also agree….I’m always changing things around. It makes me happy❤❤

You are a wanderfull gift to your family very hard working lady please have a bit of rest sometimes love from london uk

[@cherylcranford8908]

I call it decluttering or purging, it's refreshing to my soul after I've done this about 4 times a year it makes me feel reenergize and a huge sense of loving the new look and freedom of added space from doing this

[@angelabasse2662]

You are such a breathe of fresh air for homemakers. I thank you for being a great guide and inspiration for us.

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Thank you so much!

[@queens6583]

I found that anything above the stove gets greasy from splatter and the steam that cooking creates. Your tiny painting might get ruined. It's easy for things to get out of control and drawer's get stuffed and you end up forgetting what you have. Also, once I get started I always have a moment of "why did I start this", but then I just go for it and it ends up being a good thing and I'm happy I did it. A home is a never ending chore and an ever changing environment. You did a great job.

[@marymoran719]

Love your videos. I lack motivation. Been married 48 years and sometimes feel in a rut doing the same thing day after day. I envy your pantry. But now I think I am going to redo all my kitchen cupboards. Thx for the motivation!

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

You can do it!

[@asianangel5400]

[@jomoorhouse410]

Looks great, I’d swap the salt cellar and the mugs so the salt is behind the stove 😊

[@genniejefferson6588]

You’re a very patient, good mom. The kids are so well mannered. You have a lot of plates and other things on your China hutch like me. Looks nice the change.

[@jannier9766]

Oh boy!!!- this was SO good!! I definitely become paralyzed by options. I can totally relate to fear of wasting money. I love that you said, start with something small. For myself, changing things occasionally is healthy. Just like I am ready for changing of seasons. I’m like you, once I get started, I just get momentum and want to keep going. My husband grew up with parents that never changed things. They would even say “things are meant to be permanent”. He doesn’t understand the need (emotional or practical) for change. But, when I’ve finished with things, he does appreciate the difference. His way of being raised does create great challenge when it’s bigger and/or expensive changes. It can be very discouraging.

[@ddgreen4913]

I find myself getting stuck when I have so much I want to get done. I'm just overwhelmed with the task. I'm standing there thinking about what I should do first. Wasting time. It helps me if I say to myself, Just do one thing. It doesn't matter what it is. Pick up the basket and put it where it goes. Now do one more thing. Your kitchen looks fresh. Very Nice.

[@kelliconlan8133]

Your video, I about said your movie. Lol Instead of video. It touched me deeply for many reasons. I was a full time homemaker for many many years. Back in the 80’s and 90’s. I rearranged my home all the time. Constantly organizing areas of my farm house. Lol Surprised my husband didn’t complain. Lol I live in a small apt now alone. Miss my old life :( I was wondering if anyone knows who painted the picture above the stand mixer. I would like to know. Thanks. It pulled me in when I saw it. Your home is so beautiful Lisa. I always thought if I would build a home it would be a farm house design. It would have the old look but with new construction materials. Wouldn’t that be grand. :)

[@lynnbontrager2069]

Hilarious! TODAY I ventured into the infamous drawer beneath the oven! I found a couple lids to glass baking dishes (casseroles) that have been long gone, also some metal; lids that I had no idea which pot or pan they go to. So, I tested them to see if they fit any of my other cast iron or glass bowls, and/or their original mate and some did!! Once that drawer was finally clean and re-arranged, I glanced over at the infamous "plastic container" cabinet. But the one year sit on the floor and sort isn't due until it snows, so I walked away from it for now.

You might be interested in visiting the Laura Ingalls Wilder museum in Mansfield, MO. Laura wrote an excellent article for a farm/home economist focused magazine about kitchen design. Her Rocky Ridge farmhouse is an example of super efficient design. She and Manly ran a successful egg business right out of that space. The article can be read at the museum. I wish the museum would reprint the article (and others) for sale in the gift shop.

[@carolinerose2422]

I have to say I love your channel. … and your energy! I think the colour you have painted your dining area is just great. It leads me to wonder what it would look like to paint your kitchen area a shade of grey? I think it would make your white goods “pop” as you would say, and create quite a cosy feel. The shade of Grey would be up to you and would obviously need to work with the colour you painted in the dining area. Just a thought. I love so much of what you’ve done with your house. All the best all the way from England!
