My grandmother raised me and when we were leaving the house for a night or more we always had to do a good clean of the house because she would say, why would you take time to relax out of the home and then come home and undue all that mental relaxation because you step into a dirty home. It's very true and to know you are coming home to a welcoming and tranquil space that you are comfortable in.

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

I agree!!!

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

Doesn’t bother me at all lol It’s just gonna be that way again in the first few hrs anyway. Why stress? Not worth it.

[@sylviaaa3887]

I always leave my house clean before we go on vacation! It brings me peace of mind, and I can truly relaxed on my break.

[@TheHeritageArtsPodcast]

I’ve so appreciated your perspectives lately on embracing modern conveniences as part of a more old fashioned lifestyle. It doesn’t have to be all or nothing when it comes to our homes…it just has to be about prioritizing the right things for your own family.

[@PamWarwick]

It looks like your family had a nice vacation. When my children were young I loved being home and being a mom and homemaker. There is no job as important. Love this video.

[@lawaincooley6788]

I have four children, 10months old to 7 years old. I homeschool the older two. I find it is so hard to divide my attention between them and also save energy and time for my husband and then myself. I'm struggling. I pray I can get ahead and plan better so I'm less frazzled. You give me inspiration. You are amazing and so calm.

[@10KidsandAGarage]

Your daughter did an amazing job with her video. So much fun to watch. Thank you for sharing 🥰

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Thank you so much 🤗

[@patriciabliesner9794]

Kauai our favorite too 💕

[@EmeryShae]

This was such a happy, comforting video. Sometimes we just need to focus on our real life and forget about all the chaos happening in the world.

[@josephinehirschfeld2458]

My favorite videos that you post are your “day in the life” videos! This one was especially sweet to me because I’m also pregnant too, and it’s so nice to see the less curated shots mixed in!

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Congratulations

[@kindnessmatters4068]

Yes I am too!! ♡

[@ladybugmom10]

I love the day in the life too!!

[@bettywhite1705]

What a lovely trip! I’ve always said “ It’s good to go, ‘gooder’ to go home”.

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

So true!

[@kerrywatson8581]

A homeschooling 'supermother' at a conference was asked " how do you keep your house so clean, tidy, and organized?" We all waited with bated breath for the magic andwer. She replied " It's really hard and you have to do it all the time". 😅😅

[@n.a.garciafamily]

😂😂😂

[@lizwalker1736]

It’s so true!!

[@bambibrazzle8006]

I love what you represent here. Homemaking and loving it seems like a thing of the past. I love listening to your stories. I know nobody is perfect, but you seem like a beautiful person with a beautiful family, and it just gives me joy to listen and learn. 😊

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Thank you so much!

[@ZombiePilot7]

I love home making. I can't wait until my maternity leave this time around, getting to spend a few months at home with my children and make it a nice cozy nest again.

[@joanmatchett8100]

Enjoy ❤️

[@85Onne]

It always saddens me to read these kind of comments. I had 18 months of payed maternity leave and spent an extra 5 months at home with my job quaranteed to still be there when I decided to go back to work. My daughter was 27 months old when I went back to work. Love from Europe and I hope you make the best of it with the time you have at home 🙂

[@karencristobal4999]

That’s the good life. Loving vacation and loving coming home

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

Maybe u could stay home?

[@cynthiafisher9907]

I’m sorry you can’t be home all the time, since you love it.

[@kcotjo]

How awesome for your family to go to Hawaii!! You work so hard all throughout the year that you deserve a vacation! You are making wonderful memories for your family. Thank you for sharing your homemaking skills and family!!

[@glenrademacher9871]

We recently attended a weekend festival with my sister and brother-in-law, and while driving from the place we stayed to the event, we were admiring the views when my sister said, "Look at that cute little blue cottage with it's own stone chimney." I thought, that sounds like the one on Farmhouse on Boone. When I turned to look and saw a white farmhouse as well, I got really excited! By then we had driven past so l wasn't completely sure, but on the way back I saw the big white barn and the garden arbor as well ,so I knew it really was Farmhouse on Boone! It was so fun to see and really made the weekend memorable.

[@jaynemar1]

I LOVE having my groceries delivered! I’m 68 with fibromyalgia and grocery shopping takes all my energy for the day and finish in intense pain and misery. We have very nice people shopping and delivering for us!

[@MsRosaJo]

I love that you're converting your recipes to grams. Because I'm new to bread baking I used to not know how a dough should feel like. Exact measurements makes it easier for me but I'm quickly getting the hang of it. It's odd to me that a cup of flour is supposed to weigh only 120 grams (AP) because no matter how much I fluff the flour and scoop it just so, it always weighs much more (10-20 g more!). When a recipe calls for several cups of flour, it adds up.

[@whatzupLizzy]

Appreciate so much your words “embrace the role I have been cultivating “. That comment speaks to such intention, purpose and self respect. It is a great role model for me.

[@margaretrangel7223]

You are so inspirational. I am a wife and mother of 3. I’ve always love homemaking and being in a more traditional role but as a woman in her 20’s many other women look down on it which is sometimes discouraging. Your videos make me feel motivated and normal. ❤

[@SimplyEnjoyingLife]

I used to always let our fridge run bare before going away. But I have started actually semi-stocking it before a trip with unopened items that have good dates. I either use up or freeze any opened items. This has made returning home so much easier. This past fall, I was injured while we were away so upon returning, I couldn’t do much or drive for about a week. I was so thankful that we had plenty on hand. But it took a mind shift to make that change. Looks like a great vacation! ☺️

[@barbarapeterson8030]

Just precious you all got to get away, not to mention the expense of flying with all the family; what a blessing. I am like you Lisa, I LOVE HOME PERIOD. I do not mind being home. I know a lot of people who do not, but, I am a homebody. BTW; Hopefully the little one will be born on my BDay in July. STTB

[@munchkinheaven7877]

It’s common in the U.K. for people to have groceries delivered even though all our stores are close by, it’s no big deal, we see deliveries being made all day up until late!

[@TheFabFarmer]

You have a beautiful family, Lisa! Thanks for sharing them with us. I am a homesteading, homebirthing, homeschooling homemaker too and it can be hard to maintain friendships out here in the country when you are so busy. I feel like I am sitting down with an old friend when I watch your videos!

[@restoredhopediy]

I used to constantly run away from home on travels and vacation, but since becoming a homemaker and leaving my corporate job after 15 years, I find myself never wanting to leave home. It has become my sanctuary and where I feel most like me. I like having a slower, old fashioned way of living now and saying “no” has been so refreshing. My son is young, so we have not hit the social aspects of school yet, but I will be relishing these years until then.

[@rooteddeephome]

I love that you inspire women to be themselves and be real. I have a channel (and 4 kids & pregnant) and the thought of getting all dolled up with makeup and hair completely derails my motivation to make video. You capture the natural beauty in life and home and family in your videos. Love them.

[@jeannenemmyers6580]

Looks like a wonderful vacation. We retired from GA to The Big Island of Hawaii a little over 5 years ago and love living here. Thanks for visiting our beautiful state.i know the fabulous feeling of excitement to leave, but happier to return home. I am handicapped and unable to travel, so your slice of vacation was a joy to watch. Blessings.

[@sharonbryant312]

I love your family & videos but I don't understand why do you separate the cow and calf it seems so very cruel animals also have feelings, can't believe you do this just for milk it's no different than seperating you from one of your newborn kids

[@Carlie_flower]

I haven't been this early to one of your videos in so long ❤️ Congrats on your pregnancy! I swear every time I'm pregnant, you're pregnant too and due around the same time. I love it! Love listening to you chat while I do chores around our "mini farm". Glad you were able to get your vacation in before the little one came! I'm trying to get to Florida to visit my best friend before my due date 😅 we will see if it happens! 🤞🏼

[@smartiHealth]

Yes - I thought I caught her saying that! Congratulation!

[@gardengirl1191]

Did I hear you are having a baby? Congratulations Lisa on baby number 8. You are a true home maker!

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Yes...Thank you!

[@brecruz4832]

Home is where the heart is and your love of homemaking is so refreshing and God- honoring!! Your delight of coming home is so beautiful! You are a wonderful homemaker! Loved this video!

[@savannahroserecipes]

I like measurements in cups and spoons too, I don't want to buy a scale unless I have to!

[@lovelandskier]

Omg you have grocery delivery!!😭 We are way too far out for that lol so jealous!

[@mplefty515]

I live in Hawaii! It still doesn't feel like home though, the Midwest will always have my heart. We are only here a few years though then it will be back to the mainland and back to normal. Thank you for sharing

[@elisabethcuningham3526]

Which island? I live here too!

[@megangrelle]

Congrats on a baby due in summer 🥳🙌🏽 I was casually watching this and had to replay cause somehow I missed this announcement before 😂

[@vintagebeliever5023]

Me, too. 😊

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Thanks so much! I announced a little while ago..

[@tinapennington110]

Sounds like my Hawaii trip. Absolutely brutal return night trip. We ended up being awake like 30 hours. Love listening to your calm voice talking about your day

[@cindyfleer2248]

I went to Kauai in December of 2021 and went to Anini and Hanalei and Waimea Canyon as well. It’s a beautiful place. I even think I went to the same farmers market I spotted. The waterfalls are amazing there! 🌴🌸😊👍

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Totally agree!

[@almathees3839]

Wow!! Trip of a Lifetime!! Hawaii!!!!🌴🌈🌊🏄‍♀️ So happy for your family! Home Sweet Home!❤ Thank you for sharing!🎈

[@shannona5377]

"I like cream!" LOL sounds like a confession. So funny. Thank you for showing us even organic doesn't always have to be perfect.

[@rachelfrees1268]

Good for you having groceries delivered. It’s always wonderful to get home after vacation. What a fabulous vacation for all of you.❤

[@susiet2150]

Aww, I so enjoy your channel. It’s wonderful to get away (especially to gorgeous Kauai), but nothing compares to getting back home! You’ve encouraged me to look for ways to love, improve and enjoy the home that God’s given me. Thank you for that, Lisa. 😘

[@karenfisher7753]

I admire you and your lifestyle. I have been given a starter which I need to try with. I have chickens and a veg patch. I sit and absorb your videos over and over. Thank you

[@dtaylor9927]

Would love to know where you stayed in Kauai! I also have a large family with a lot of littles. So it’s always nice to know that an area has been tried and safe for families!

[@lena-ml3hz]

I’m so excited about the gram measurements! Thanks for the hard work! I prefer it so that I can avoid extra dishes 😅 Also, I grew up in Hawaii but live on the mainland now. Loved seeing your family there 🌈 😊

[@mamashanshan2772]

Family vacations are the best! Coming home is the best too! Beautiful memories will last a lifetime for y’all! Your kids will always bring it up throughout many years! Ty for sharing!

[@gilliandawson6567]

One of the positives over the covid crisis, is that a number of our supermarkets in South Africa do deliveries, or collect.

[@valentinathehiker4862]

Hello… I’m glad you guys had fun!! You are so lucky.. it looked like you wouldn’t have groceries delivered 😮. I live in Acton, Ca a country - living town 20 min away from the city and I don’t even get regular mail delivery😢.. love your videos . Lisa, are you expecting?

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Yes, due this summer.

[@rebekahquinley8093]

I love weight measurements. I can measure on my scale and not use so many measuring cups and spoons.

[@reallifehomemaking3679]

I love cups and measuring spoons. I don’t use grams for anything.

[@deborahjones7415]

Blackout curtians are 20 dollars at Costco.

All those plastic bags 😢 no longer allowed in UK - we use long lasting ones

[@CountieLt25]

Lisa I am so thrilled you were able to go to Hawaii! What a thrill. Still on my bucket list!

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Thank you! It was such a treat for our family.

[@lisafriend5535]

How wonderful that you got to go on vacation. Hawaii is just so beautiful. Always great to get home and back into your routine.

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

It really is!

[@elisabethcuningham3526]

I’m the same as you with cooking, I like to just kinda toss stuff in and see how it turns out lol. I’m pretty good at winging it with stuff, even sourdough actually. BUT I really love using grams vs cups, after getting used to it after doing sourdough I’ve started doing it the same way as I did with cups, I’m not accurate with it, I just make sure I’m in the ballpark lol, but I prefer it to cups cuz it’s not as messy, faster to dump everything and no dishes! Especially stuff like honey that’s just messy lol!

[@rough-hewnhomestead5737]

Gosh, I feel like you do...I like vacation ok, but I'm ready to get home and get back to normal. I love my life of homemaking. I also do the thing of shutting the place down before we go on vacation...I probably don't need to do that, lol...but it's habit. God bless!

[@hjr2693]

I love your videos and admire how great you take care of your marriage, kids, animals, and home. It inspires me to get back to that more. Thank you for sharing.

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Thank you so much!

[@JenniferPerryMyScraproom]

I have an extensive pantry so I only need to go to the store for fresh veggies, dairy and such. Did I just place a delivery order for those things? Yes I did. It might cost me an extra $14 with tip and delivery fees but it SAVES me a ton of time and energy I can use somewhere else.

[@kristinataddei8138]

I love all your "still life" art work.....forget landscapes or people.....and I totally get the vacation thing, and looking so forward to coming home, and getting back into the swing of things.....but I must say, Hawaii is one of those places I never want to leave.....great video!!!....thanks for sharing the "trip tidbits".....looks like you had a fantastic time!!!....

[@rodeoandrye]

Sandy, wet, happy kids… what a wonderful getaway!

[@dietitian.kelseythomas]

I’m a HUGE fan of your channel & recipes from the blog! I use your sourdough bread, rolls, & bagels recipe. IM SO EXCITED FOR GRAMS 😍 I personally just don’t like getting all the measuring cups dirty. Thank you for making these conversions!

[@libbysimpson9127]

Grocery delivery in small towns is something that’s been around basically since grocery stores were invented. You turned in a list. Or when telephones became available you phoned in the order. And there was a window of delivery time. It’s nothing new. People use to not have transportation, so the stores did delivery in order to increase business… 😊 no different that Amazon does on large scale now.

[@dlgrilli]

Beautiful family! Fun video. And you daughter did a great job with the vacation video - takes after her mom, I guess?

[@valeriepasbrig742]

I can't believe how big Theo is already. Yes, you look pooped, mom, but happy as a clam to be back in your element. As for food delivery? You're running a farm, have 7 kids and you have to figure in time, gas, and wear and tear on your vehicle. Yup, delivery is well worth it. And I always seem to be watching you when I'm hungry. Can I move in?

[@phyllisanngodfrey6137]

We usually vacation in the fall. I ALWAYS do my Fall cleaning and decorating BEFORE I leave. We vacation down South and I am so happy to come home and enjoy my favorite season of the year…..🍁🍂

[@motherofslavs8761]

The thing with cups is that is not a thing in most eastern europeean or even non english speaking countries. It just came to be recently. When I started baking some 15 years ago I couldn't buy the cups or ts/tbsp mesuring gear. But we all have kitchen scales

[@silviamagda]

Yes! I don't like baking from american websites because a lot of them don't have metric as well. And I have to convert all the ingredients and it's a hassle.

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Yes, as you can see in America it is standard to use cups etc. so that is how I learned. Having said that if you look on my website you will see that I have been adding metric too...eventually all the recipes will have it.

[@samanthahoos9827]

My relatives think I’m nuts to have anything delivered, but I work outside the house full time, pet sit for local families and don’t like shopping. I will pick up my own food, but the time it saves to have amazon or Tractor Supply pull/bring me orders allows me to enjoy taking care of my gardens, animals and loved ones.

[@tamara4557]

Hope you enjoyed the vacation. Time changes can be so rough with children. I had my fist experience when my daughter was 3, 12 hour flight, 8 hour timedifference. I was used to it but with her it was totally different! She didn't sleep at all and it took about 2 or 3 days to get her in a schedule again. Going East is way harder then going West in general, but it also depends on what time you have to leave/arrive. How do I know I really have become a homemaker? Watching this while I'm working at the sink prepping dinner hahaha IThough I am doing for almost 2 decades now (since I was 21) I never had the time, with university and later with health issues to really get into it. It's only been the past few years I'm trying my best to embrace it. Partly because of your channel I'm slowly getting there. So thank you Lisa. I also just use cups and tablespoons etc but using recipes from different parts of the world I known that a cup is not the same everywhere. I personally don't mind; if you use your own cup it will work most of the time but I can see that grams are universal. I love to order groceries but I only have a 3 person family, so the minimum order in euros is too high for me, so I simply go to the store that is around the corner pretty much. I do order all the cat supplies. That is so heavy, bring it to my door please.

[@BarnesOnMove_Sonya]

I do totally relate to your love of being home and being a home maker. I love traveling and exploring, so living the RV life has afforded us the luxury of both. I miss growing food and raising chickens, but we find places on our route to support families that sell their excess.

[@lirazdemasure936]

Lisa, you don't need to apologise. I have only one son and I'm cooking almost everything from scratch. It is a lot of work, Even for just 3 people like our small family. So having such a big family and eating something less time consuming -it's totally fine. No one should care.

[@lisapoulsen5452]

Fabulous video!! We went to Hawaii when our girls were 5 & 8…it was amazing. The time difference is rough…but worth every amazing moment!!

[@patriciacinea3097]

Lisa, so glad you and your family got to enjoy some quality time together away from the daily routine in a totally different tropical location. Its so important to create special family time together and take a break.

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

So true!

[@lindafreeto6033]

I love your videos. This one shows amazing family time together and wonderful memories. Thank you for sharing your family and time with us.

[@dorothyhines6951]

People outside the US use metric not imperial measurements to the extent that it can be challenging to get measuring cups/spoons in anything but metric.

[@ToroC0108]

8 kids!!! How the heck are you still sane hahahahaha amazing power woman

[@GinaKayLandis]

You are such a delightful natural for your channel! Glad you got to go on vacation with your whole immediate family - so blessed it makes a tear want to be joined by others! Hope the curtains work out how you would like. Ever consider designing your own fabric on Spoonflower? Have a wonderful rest of March!

[@valerieleblanc8066]

Totally get the confort of being home and doing all the homemaking things. Vacation is great but there’s just no place like home. We get groceries delivered too and wow what a time saver. I can be making bread instead of being at the grocery store. It still supports local and it’s not necessarily more expensive.

[@whiskeywomanwhisks]

What fun! Glad to see in the end proof that mom was there too😜. I’m always the paparazzi mom or there wouldn’t be pics but usually the only proof I was there-someone will take a pic of me first thing in the morning with my hair and face a total mess and a pic of me shoveling in food both are usually blurry🤪

[@jessthoma2803]

You should try robe curls for your hair! Super easy and comfortable to sleep in. This homesteading mama can't be bothered to use a curling iron, robe curls is the only way I curl my hair because it's so fast lol

[@lydianorwood6132]

I'd love to know how this detergent has held up in your house. There's so much debate on homemade detergents. Id love to make my own but I dont want to cause build-up on the dipers or ruin my new washing machine due to build up from the type of soap used in the recipe. Also, do you only use this deturgent on the cloth dipers, just baby stuff or do you use it for all fabrics in the household?

[@desert_moon]

I've always done the same things (made sure the house is cleaned, frig cleaned out, trash removed etc) before trips so that when we get home it's relaxing. My kids are all grown now except the youngest.

[@milliehack6503]

Your daughter’s video was really cute !!! What are all your children’s names and ages ???

[@jinxycast]

You're pregnant again! Lol dang momma!

[@ApostolicGrandma]

I totally do grocery delivery, and all my children are grown and moved out. I completely agree on spending less with delivery because I only buy what I need and am not tempted with extra stuff. also, there a a LOT of great deals to be had with online ordering also.. Just got $35 off of my Thrive Market order and a free gift. Pretty typical :) Keep doing what you are doing

The only thing about non- organic cream is that a lot of the brands put polysorbate 80 and other not so lovely things in it. So you may want to check the label.

[@Ann-cx3dd]

Also, if I do go to the grocery store mid-week to get something we forgot or I need more ingredients for something I'm cooking, I enjoy walking around for that small trip to the store, as opposed to hating it & wishing I was not there.

[@dboufedji]

The delivery box at the end of the driveway is genius!

[@angiekrajewski6419]

Why do you take away the calf from the mother ?? If it is because there will be less milk for your family .. will your cow give you necessary less milk? I know the calf will need the milk from his mother.. specially when the calf is young.. I think the milk will still be flowing if you pull the milk still when the calf will know how to nourrish himself with herb or hay.

[@lisapoulsen5452]

I clean before a trip too!! I don’t want more mess than what I’m taking home. It does always feel good to be home, though🥰
