Grocery stock up, cooking, cleaning + a first for our family!

[@jannifercopley4787]

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.

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.

[@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.

I'm a homebody so maybe that is wh I feel like that (just finished this sentence while listening and then you said that you like coming home so we have that in common).

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.

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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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! ☺️

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.

[@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.

[@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.
