"Thank you mamma" - oh my goodness, my heart just melted!❤

[@EliseWood]

I was going to comment the same thing my word so darling ❤

[@candlegirl1973]

So precious!!

[@Goldiloxandthe3bears]

Thank you so much for showing the beauty in motherhood, homeschooling, and homemaking. I wish I had your influence/validation earlier in my motherhood. My baby is now 16 and my other children are all adults but I was very alone in being a stay at home, homeschooling mom in the late 90’s early 2000’s. I loved it so much and wouldn’t trade it. I just wish I felt more confident in what I was doing back then like you are now. Now I look back knowing that all my work with my family was beautiful! I am implementing a lot of what I have learned from you and teaching my daughter too. She loves your channel too. Your family is beautiful.

[@beckyryan407]

Your videos are amazing, they don't appear staged, I appreciate that. Your children are so polite shows good parenting.

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Thank you so much!

I truly love Lisa's videos! So cosy and beautiful!❤

Oui elle se débrouille bien avec ses enfants si gentils qu'ils l aident au ménage

[@katemiller5990]

I have to say, I cheered inside when you said you stepped out of your comfort zone in order to allow your daughter to plan and prepare this gathering. That’s one of the hardest things we do as parents, to let our kids learn to do things without us (hello, messes and mistakes! 😂), yet one of the most vital isn’t it? Thank you for the small sacrifices that you make 🙏🏼❤

[@anagaunt7700]

Victoria sponge (or victoria sandwich)! It's an absolute classic here in the UK! It is said it was one of the favourites of Queen Victoria for afternoon tea - that's where the name comes from. A vanilla sponge with cream and strawberries - or cream and jam. It's one of the first things you learn to bake, usually as a child.

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Love that!

[@ellendunn559]

My mother’s heritage was German, so she put onion in EVERYTHING - and so do I! One day last year I discovered I had accidentally run out of onions (the only time in 27 years of marriage) and it was such a shock. I felt like my kitchen had suddenly come to a screeching halt and I didn’t quite know what to do! 😆

[@cynthiafisher9907]

This is a lovely life, your children are so blessed to have a mom like you!

[@saraphillips1038]

I really appreciate your comment about not saying no to your kids and contemplating whether or not it’s some thing that is doable. As a parent one of my regrets is being too quick to say no to things when just a few more minutes of thought I may have said yes.

[@wandagordon6453]

Your girls did a beautiful job for their get together. Absolutely love your precious family! Take care and God bless y’all. 😀❤️

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Thank you so much!

[@susieawalt7416]

As an old granny (my only grandchild is turning 17).when that sweet baby said "thank you mama" I teared up. So precious

It's just so precious when they start talking!

I love the fact that you are so aware of how blessed you are and don't take it for granted.

[@connievassilev7911]

Jessica with 3 rivers homestead has an outdoor bathing area behind her house. I cannot tell you how much I wish I would have had something like that when my children were younger. And the idea of laying in a bath outside under the stars is extremely appealing. Perhaps you and hubby could figure out an area outside like that too?

[@shadedflower9530]

So many reasons we are put on this earth are contained in this video. Your channel always lifts my heart, Lisa. Thank you for sharing your life with me. May your household be always blessed. 🙏❤

[@tonimason8737]

I just love your parenting style Lisa. It's so beneficial to your children to not be micro managed. What a sense of achievement they must have felt.x Hello from Western Australia.

[@ash798emi]

Oh same I’m from Perth and I’m a teenager at the moment but when I’m older I want to buy a farm but none of my family have ever been farmers or owned farms so watching these videos is teaching me so much and this is truly the life I want in the future ❤

[@johnkelly9451]

​​​​​​@@ash798emiWe all can start where we are, container grow herbs, lettuce, anything for now. Cook and try things that you grow, from grocery stores or farmers market. We can always have this lifestyle in our daily lives. Even on weekends, evenings, mornings or once in awhile. It's truely a blessing even in little bites at any age or time. We are all continually trying and growing each day... just a beautiful sunrise or sunset...beautiful moon and stars, beautiful breeze or day, wherever we are... plant your seeds and watch them grow... ❤

Oooh I love her 86m2! So sweet of your girls! And what great lessons in hospitality that they'll use their whole lives. ❤ Love the beautiful fruits & ice in the drinks & that cake! Well done, young ladies! 🌺🏵️🌹🌻We definitely take wayyyy more baths here in the summer, too. Unfortunately, our water bill reflects it. 😅

P.S. We just tried ThredUp for the first time here for kids clothes. Excited for our order to come! Your dresses are so lovely!

You are the conductor of beauty in your home and for your family! What you have taught your children is astounding ❤❤❤

[@lisashafer7616]

I find your channel SO very relaxing and inspiring. I literally look forward to a new episode each time they come out! My daughter literally asks if we can play "Farmhouse on Boone." She likes to "broadcast" as we have our own kitchen conversations, cooking, and creativity to share. 😂❤ Thanks for encouraging me as a homemaker! God bless you guys!

[@jessilen8819]

I can only imagine what your house smells like with all the fresh baked bread and home cooked meals. I’m sure it smells amazing.

Loved his "thank you momma"!😍

[@queens6583]

Theo saying, thank you momma with those big blue eyes was heart melting. I am a city girl, but I love your channel because of the lessons learned by watching you and your husband parenting your children. I am amazed all the time of the stamina you have even when large with child. If we could bottle your energy you'd be rich. Please tell your daughter that her ice-cream recipe made my mouth water. Good job all around!

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

😊 thank you

[@melinda4316]

Your daughter’s party looked just beautiful. Clearly she’s learned a lot from watching and helping you! You’re doing a fabulous job, and are so inspiring to me as a young mother. Thank you for all you’ve taught me!

Great video!! Your children are so very fortunate to be living on a homestead. Wow! The lessons they have learned and the stories they can tell!! God bless.

[@kingkurio1129]

Lisa I love your videos! You changed my life (a few months ago when I discovered your channel) when you talked about some women being bored in motherhood and how we can level up our homemaking and get really good at doing new things. I immediately began a sourdough starter and it's changed the way I cook food. I am loving motherhood and I can't thank you enough ❤️

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Love that! Good for you.

[@elisabethklassen2905]

Thank you for sharing, Lisa! It is encouraging for me to see you caring for your sweet family and nurturing your home. I appreciate having you to look up to! I am a newly married homemaker, and I always find your content so inspiring! 💛

[@rosedotco]

Such a fun, uplifting video.😊Your flower arrangements are gorgeous! I wish I had a bowl of that ice cream.😋The baby eating berries is too cute!

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Thank you so much 😀

[@mscuterthanacupcake]

This video was super inspiring. As a new mom, mothering has been very difficult the last two weeks with a teething baby. It is beautiful to see your daughters planning for a very lovely gathering and your boys playing in sand, happy as clams. It's always good to get gentle reminders that these are just seasons. 😊 Congratulations on the new addition to your family!

[@ridayousufzai7992]

You just stated my thoughts.

[@vintagebeliever5023]

[@LB-ku6ry]

I’m almost 60 years old and love your videos!!

[@IvankaB]

Loved the video! As always. BTW, "Her 86m2" is pronounced "Her 86 square meters", and that's because when she started her channel, she and her family used to live in a 86 square meter apartment (that's about 925 square feet), and she wanted to show that you can have a lush balcony garden and produce food even if you live in a small space. They then moved to the German countryside and into that dream of a house, which is huge, with an even huger garden. Many blessings to you and your family!

[@miriamayala5757]

Lisa I love that your daughter is in the kitchen helping you do the meals and she is creating her own style. Bravo Momma you are my Super Mom:)

Lisa what a beautiful life your family has....I just love watching all the yummy food you make. Your daughters ice cream sounds amazing. Your children are learning so many life lessons. Little Theo is so precious and polite. Blessings 🙏🏼🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

[@NataliaBertelli-ki7pq]

Hi Lisa, I just wanted to thank you because you gave me a new perspective on homemaking. I have been watching your videos for a couple of years, and at first I was attracted by your mix of traditional skills and digital, modern entrepreneurship. Now I truly appreciate your willingness to learn something new, which makes everyday homemaking feel less of a chore and more of an adventure. I can definitely say I finally find pleasure in giving attention to my home. Heck, I even started arranging flower bouquets everywhere! ;)

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

love this! Thanks for sharing.

[@ellascottagecompany2044]

Love 86m2, very talented lady. It’s so sweet that your girls love her too. Also love the job your girls did, what a great childhood your gifting them all with ❤.

[@mrs.t4382]

Great job, mama. As a mother to seven boys myself and one girl, with another one due any day now, I can certainly admire and appreciate amount of work you put into taking care of your family. I also downsized my garden this year since I am having a baby. My 11 yr old dug up the last of the potatoes and now just waiting for all the tomatoes to turn green. I completely understand the sand pit idea. We have a generous neighbor with a large pond that allows our boys to go fishing at will. They spend so much time outside and I am thankful.

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Yes, outside time is wonderful! Congratulations on the next baby.

[@nanasewdear]

I love to sauté zucchini with onion and bell peppers and serve with an over-easy egg. It makes a tasty meal without the extra calories from a potato. I also think that, because of the texture, zucchini works well in dished that ordinarily have mushrooms. They are great in spaghetti sauce. Around here we call them "secret ingredient Z".

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Love that!

[@catloverx2]

I always grate zucchini into an omlett in the morning. I also always grate into my lasagna and I add chopped zucchini into my fried rice.

[@nanasewdear]

It's so yummy and makes me feel like I'm doing something healthy.

[@queenbee7819]

I grew up on a sandy lake. We had a tub of water right outside door. We always stepped in that before entering house, to remove the foot sand.

[@judymcintire8061]

Your children are so beautiful! Theo is getting so big & is so sweet!😊❤

[@kathrinabels]

Love Her86m² too, she lives in a German village close to the one I was born in. I find it somewhat surreal that people from the US watch this, too. The positive sides of globalization and the digital World :) Another great vlog btw, and congratulations Lisa ❤

[@lettus143]

also on another note, your daughters are just so lovely as well. i'm a mother to 4 boys, i'm due with our 5th baby in a few weeks and we're letting the gender be a surprise. i'll be happy if it's a boy, too, but watching the way your daughter has learned from you and incorporates these homemaking skills even into her social life was so lovely to see and put such a longing in my heart.

[@ribbonriver]

I had a dream the other night that I came over to your house and that I offered to do the dishes by hand. I was so overwhelmed 😂

[@suen4741]

You should put in an outdoor shower. We used to love ours after coming in from the beach 😊

[@christineford6763]

Boys love dirt and sand play …I would use 9x13 pans and have sand or dirt for the winter indoor play time …. They would use their trucks and diggers inside . Made hours of fun and distraction for mama .

[@lettus143]

your little sweetie there at the end was melting my heart. we're blessed to live in an apt right next to a wetland preservation area where they let the blackberries grow like mad. i like to take my kids to the area with some bags all throughout august and pick berries together. this year my youngest, who is now 1.5, is LIVING for it. more berries wind up in his mouth than in the bag lol. as a family we're not a huge fan of blackberries, but we like to take advantage of seasonal things while we can, and with such bounty and provision right in our backyard, how could we not? put them in pies or cobblers with other berries and it's perfect. put them in smoothies, freeze what we don't use and we have blackberries all year round.

[@KirstenEvans232]

Such a gentle loving soul you are. Beautiful traits that your children seem to share. Fills my eyes and heart. ❤

[@kiandra323]

I really enjoy watching your lifestyle and the children outside helping you. I'm from Australia.

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

thank you!

[@TheMennomilist]

I love Madewell and have a dress from them. Most of my clothes are Lucky Brand (even from ThredUp). For the comments asking where your kids are, I mean, even if your kids are running around your yard, it seems like you have so much space and an area where it is safe to just run around without too much supervision anyway. Where I live, we have a lot of road traffic and it is dangerous, but where I grew up, there was a huge yard and a lot of space to just run around. It all depends on location really. You are doing great. I love meals with zucchini and squash.

[@amma3536]

Hope things are going well with your new blessing. Take care and be blessed.😊

Your daughters did a wonderful job it’s not surprising when they have an amazing mother as a role model. I love your videos and how you are raising your family. My children are all adults and I have two teenage grandchildren. Watching your children play outside and having good wholesome meals. It’s very relaxing for me to watch. ❤️

I love her 86m2 as well. She is so artistic. Her garden is unreal.

[@lisabroom819]

Hi Lisa - this Lisa agrees 😊- on how we are able to make adjustments in our lives for new things. What at first seems like a huge time constraint quickly magically finds a place in our lives. I recently experienced that when my husband and I decided to raise meat rabbits. I think we just have to figure out how to rearrange our time and once that is done the new task becomes habit and just blends in with our day. I love the onion braiding - so beautiful with your decor!
