I’m feeling like less is more this year too. Especially less commercialism. Less presents, less money spent. More family time, baking cookies, hanging out around the fire.

[@kate_700]

Lisa, your daughters look so much like you. As an outsider who knows nothing about your life except what you so graciously share with us, I can tell your daughters really look up to you and are inspired by you. I can see this in their love for creating, cooking, and even the way they dress! It’s beautiful. I aspire to have this with my own daughter.

[@vickeypierce293]

I will never be a minimalist...I love things!! Especially Christmas...I put up several Christmas trees...lights everywhere...just the more the better!! Give me lots of Christmas lights, my favorite goodies I bake, and Christmas movies...I'm a happy woman

[@tonyasilvey9666]

Lisa you daughters are so grown, I think the oldest is about caught up to you!! They are as beautiful as their Mom! The home is looking beautiful!!!

[@ulrichweber5215]

Dear Lisa, your beautiful daughters have turned in such pretty teenagers. Beautiful long hair. It's lovely to watch you 5gree girls of the family

[@ashleyqurollo]

I love how you included your girls in homemaking. That takes patience and a willingness to embrace imperfection sometimes (your girls did an amazing job though!)

[@jesussaves8502]

Watching your videos bring me joy and peace. As a homemaker for 13 years I always struggled with insecurities, but watching it from an outsider's point of view reassures me, this is what God has called me for. You also inspire me to be better and to make my home beautiful. Thank you for sharing your life with us.

[@philippapay4352]

We still do Thanksgiving through this Friday. We do not shop on Black Friday. We don't shop much during Advent. We decorate then for Christmas, wintry holidays celebrating light, go to Chanukah parties with friends who celebrate that Festival of Light.

[@cynthiaannblaha5127]

We do not decorate for Christmas until about two weeks out although I will take down my fall items about December 1 and put up winter greenery. And since we also celebrate Advent, I put out our Advent wreath and a small tree with ornaments that is part of a Christmas countdown.

[@louettesommers8594]

I really like your choice of music.♥️

[@jennbidwelledwardson2885]

We don't start decorating for Christmas until after Thanksgiving either. I like to take my time and celebrate the changing seasons. No need to rush into winter, enjoy the late days of fall and then slowly add in greenery, lights, and eventually the tree and other small touches for the holiday.

[@kcotjo]

You may not realize it but every little touch you give your home is creating a memory for your children. I think back to my childhood growing up in the 60's. Our real little dry tree with all the tinsel and the probably fire hazard large bulbs with the brown cord. It's a wonder there weren't more house fires back in the day. We didn't get a ton of gifts but we always had fun. My mother didn't decorate with a ton of things because we didn't have much. But I specifically remember the small nativity manger, the little silver reindeer and Santa sleigh and the tinsel on the tree. Those were great days. You are creating a lovely home that no doubt your children will remember and reminisce about one day too. Thank you for sharing your cozy home!!

[@danilynn64]

I think white lights and natural decor is great for winter decor and older people for Christmas, but for kids, it's multi-colored lights all the way. That is both mine and my daughter's favorite memories about Christmas as kids. We decorated from top to bottom in Christmas wonder. My daughter now decorates in multi-light decor for the grandkids. They love it.

[@liliandaven5380]

the music in this video is just lovely...great job=)

[@suzie2080]

A water softener would really help with cleaning. Hard water is a constant battle. Getting ready to decorate soon but it's not the same as when my children were still home. It's a beautiful season just different now.

[@smoothsailingmp]

Thank you for all the beautiful Christmas music and hymns.......

[@patriciamarrion6802]

So beautifully understated. It is a joy to be invited into your home in any season. It always seems so cosy.

[@neahughes1579]

I love that you shared Christmas ideas a few days before I decorate. I don’t think you’re rushing Thanksgiving at all. We need ideas before we decorate, not after! Thanks, Lisa! I really enjoyed this.

[@jessicaj8148]

We went from lots of Christmas decorations to just keeping it simple. Kids, cats, dogs…they like to play with all of that stuff. So the past several years I scale back much to my husband’s dismay. But I love an uncluttered simple look

[@SimplyEnjoyingLife]

I love that it gets dark early and I light up everything I can inside with twinkle lights and battery operated candles. So cozy!

[@madeleine774]

We do not decorate for Christmas until, literally, a couple days before Christmas day. We always get our tree on Christmas Eve. This is because we celebrate Advent. We leave up fall decor until Black Friday. However, our fall decor does kind of change through the autumn season complimenting the current month, if that makes sense. You may wonder when we take down our Christmas decor. Four weeks after Christmas we begin to take some of it down until all but the Nativity scenes are left which we then take down on February 2nd.

[@ProLifeCharlotte]

Properly done. 4 weeks of Advent, then Christmas begins on Christmas Eve and it's Christmastide until Candlemas.

[@cynthiafisher9907]

[@angelahagood3639]

Those girls have definitely inherited their mother’s decorating talent. So much fun! Everything looks so homey and inviting! 🎄🥰

When I’m feeling overwhelmed by dust and clutter, I watch you! You are such an inspiration. It gets me off my butt 😂. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family 🍁🍁🍁

We are going more minimal this year too. Sometimes less is more. I enjoy watching your channel.

[@kcbvids]

merry Christmas Lisa! So enjoy your style, and comfortable home! Blessings to you and your precious family! Thanks for the CHRISTmas music! Praising Jesus in Oregon! christine

[@denisejones1863]

Make a pouch with plastic wrap the size of stain and tape it with easy to remove masking tape, leave top open and fill with corn starch. Just leave on for a week, hopefully it will absorbed the grease. It is important to provide children with paper napkins or paper towels at every meal time and to wash their hands when they come inside. This should be a rule for everyone no matter their age. I don't see young mom's using napkins and their kids use their clothes and seat cushions to wipe their hands. So good to let your girls take over the decorating, it is important to learn these things for future homes of their own.

[@kimpike4362]

Your home is always lovely & filled with love. The addition of Christmas greenery & lights make it cozy & magical.

[@gardengirl1191]

I love seeing what you do to your home to make it even more charming Lisa. Your music choice is always well matched.

[@sallysmith4492]

Lisa, love your approach to Christmas decorating which starts with a deep clean!!! All the boughs, wreaths, ribbons, red dishes and twinkling lights create an incredible imprint in the memory of this festive holiday for children!!! Sugar cookies and hot chocolate are the perfect way to add the most adorable scents and tastes as well,!! God bless you and your family this Christmas!!!

[@irma366]

So we have hard water too and the bar keepers toilet bowl cleaner is FANTASTIC!

[@michelebaldwin1942]

I just love the Christmas music that accompanies your videos! Great choices.❤

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

thank you!

[@raggs121]

Always my favorite youtube videos. I love the old fashioned charm of your home. The beautiful old cupboards and your kitchen is to die for. I love the red in your Christmas decore. Something is missing if there aren't any touches of red. You got me started on red transferware! I love it and get it when I'm thrifting. Your family is so sweet and you seem very blessed. Enjoy the Christmas season, Blessings

[@sarahkokura6349]

I’m hardly doing anything for Christmas. This is my First Christmas without my dad and we were estranged (his choice). So it’s not a happy season. A reminder of hopes deferred. So it’s really simple. I’ve also never been one who really loves decorating or is into Christmas. But enjoys watching others set up.

[@ashleyroberts9636]

I love your house and your decorations! You truly have created a warm and cozy Christmas home. 😊

[@MaribethAlexander]

Love what you did with your farmhouse for Christmas!

[@WBCRO]

Your girls must have felt thrilled and proud to trim the Christmas tree for their family! They will remember that always. Your home is beautiful - cozy and Christmassy - and yet there’s lots of room for living.

[@jenniferrumsey9887]

Antique wallpaper is often cleaned with Wonder brand bread. It sounds crazy but it really works. Good luck!!

[@petro3441]

You girls make me miss my childhood life on the farm. Especially at Christmas.

[@karenh8538]

Lisa, citric acid is a good natural product to use on your basins and toilets. Leaving half to one cupful soaking in the loo for a while will get it beautifully clean. Merry Christmas to you all. Karen Lincolnshire UK.

[@dianerobillard1044]

Love the decorating you and the girls did.

[@johnmelissaziech6207]

I have the same problem with my sinks, too. I just soak a cloth, or paper towel, with white vinegar and let it sit on the problem areas, it works for fixtures, too. After soaking & brushing away debris, then go in with BarKeepers, BonAmi, or baking soda. Works great with hard water. Your girls did a good job! Your house looks lovely, cozy, and festive!

[@comfortablespaces]

When you kept switching back to you and your daughter putting up the tree, it took me a second to realize who was who! She is really starting to look so so much like you!!

[@jackiemartin5441]

A great eco friendly, no chemical homemade cleaner is a mixture of baking soda with dish soap and peroxide. Rub it on and let it sit and then scrub away.

[@odetteuys1111]

You are such an inspiration! Any time I feel I do too much, I just have to watch one of your videos. Next level 😎 About the wallpaper - you get wipeable wallpaper that you can clean with a damp cloth. They are also more stain resistant. Just ask for vinyl option when looking at samples.

[@TheRayjane]

I find that sometimes simple is more. And when I need more it gives you a chance to appreciate everything that’s out. Letting your girls decorate the tree was wonderful it look like they did a wonderful job. The sugar cookies looked amazing and I do enjoy watching your family.

Over the years,I’ve been doing less decorating but keeping up with the baking. At work, we had a huge stairway and would use large pipe cleaners to hang garland. Just leave the pipe cleaners on the garland when packing for next year.

Your house is beautiful as is but adding simplistic Christmas touches makes it extra homey reminds me of Little Women . Love it so much !

I have my own business as well. I am so busy that I donated 4 large totes of Christmas décor. Some never used that I bought after Christmas. I am going with simple this year. I dont have the energy to decorate every room. Simple is calmer and just as satisfying in my opinion.
