Thank you for speaking life! I can’t think of a time our world needs to hear this message more than now. Our world is so broken without traditional family values being taught and without placing God in center of our lives. Thank you for having the courage to share the truth we have written on our hearts. Merry Christmas.

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

Thank you, Jennifer 🌹

I also think this is a very different and difficult time to raise children. I have a 14 year old almost 15 granddaughter and I am in shock of what goes on. First is prayer over them. I also believe communication and spending quality time with them is so important.

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

Well said, all so important!

[@elizabethbaus4173]

What a beautiful video! Thank you for speaking the truth in a society where this is not popular. I am a SAHM with a very young daughter and hope to raise her into a godly, beautiful lady.

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

Thank you! What a wonderful goal🌹

[@kaleighbower9227]

Your poem brought tears to my eyes. My husbands grandpa just passed and at the funeral the speaker quoted how he always admired a woman and a mother and “the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world”. You saying this during your video was confirmation for a lot of my prayers . Sometimes I feel less than as a stay at home mother and really a wife and a mother is such an impactful , meaningful work. Sometimes I get down with my daily tasks but this has been so uplifting and inspiring ❤️ thank you Nikki . I’m 27 as a young mom of two but I watch your videos and I really enjoy them deeply you inspire and teach me in ways I never knew I needed. Thank you

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

William Wallace wrote that beautifully, it made me cry too. I'm sorry for your loss. I hope you always feel valuable in the position you hold, it's a vital one. I'm so happy you feel you can come to my channel for inspiration, that's very meaningful to me.

I am a lifelong feminist, which to me means supporting women (and men) in their pursuit of happiness/ contentment/fulfillment during their life on this earth. No one is more or less. I think what you said about modeling as parents is sos so important!!! How many times one can catch themself complaining about the house, the kids, the spouse! What a tragedy to to only model the tough times. My husband and I continue to work on this and gently remind each other. You are a wonderful role model for your children and an inspiration to many of your viewers❤

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

[@lovelylanafansweetie4240]

@@TheLadyoftheHouseam a long life feminist and what you’re doing is super beautiful a please be proud of yourself ❤women who are homemakers are inspiring.

[@lindahenderson1625]

In the past, women greatly influenced the behavior of society. Behavior that was taught in the home was carried through into the outside world. Women taught their sons how to treat and respect women. Without trying to divert the subject, women have brought the situation on themselves. Women have diminished themselves in order to work in a man’s world. They have sacrificed their femininity and their strengths. They walk and talk like men. I have seen it and have worked with such women. They wrongfully belittled the women who chose motherhood and homemaking. They should have encouraged the women for choosing the life that they want. There’s a wonderful movie called Woman’s World that displays the influence that women have. It stars Lauren Bacall, June Allison, and Cornell Wilde. Merry Christmas to you and yours. 🎄🎅🏻 Nikki, your channel is a light showing that there is more to homemaking than just cooking and cleaning. It is about family life and relationships. It is about the foundation of society, the home and the family that dwells within.

[@tryphenarose384]

Beautifully put. Blessings to you Linda. ❤

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

Thank you for these words, Linda! I am featuring some of your words in tomorrow's Lady of the House Weekly newsletter. It was quite fitting.

Hi there! I contacted you a few months ago and told you that after I lost like 50 pounds I'd start wearing only skirts and dresses. I told you that I basically dressed like a lumber jack before lol Well I lost 45 pounds and started wearing only dresses and skirts about 4 months ago. I still have a few more pounds to lose but I fell pregnant. My husband and I lost the baby at 10 weeks gestation, last week. This was pretty rough. It turned out to be a partial molar pregnancy...that made it even tougher. I have to be monitored for a few months to make sure I stay healthy since these pregnancies can lead to cancer. So I am going to try wo focus on working on me again by work on dropping about 20 more pounds in the mean time before trying again. I will also be working on getting more dresses and skirts to add to my wardrobe. Today the whole family went to the mountains to split a tree for fire wood (still a lumber jack lol) but I wore a skirt the whole time. Actually two skirts lol, it was cold. Anyway, I tend to our animals, doctor wounds, do dishes, run errands, go to church, split wood, garden....all that and I haven't once wore pants in like 4 months. I don't miss it 97 percent of the time. Every once in a while, for a split second, I vaguely miss it but that passes quickly. I basically went dresses and skirts cold turkey (within a week or two). Being that I'm 38 years old, and I could count on one hand how many times I wore a skirt or dress in my life before this change....this is a huge change. But I'm so glad I did this! It feels very feminine and I act more feminine. People do treat you so much different and mostly in a very good way. I have had some women seem to almost take offense of this change though...like they think I'm judging them if they don't do the same....which I NEVER even implied. This is a very personal choice to make and it's not for everyone and that's okay. But I just keep wearing them and trying to let these people see that I'm still the same person. Thankfully there is only a couple people like that that I have encountered.Thank you for posting these encouraging videos. They helped me have the courage to do this!

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss, that is devastating! Thank you for sharing this journey with me. It's good to know you are finding comfort in this new way of dressing regardless of what others may say or think.

It’s Christmas Eve day. As I listen to this I’m enjoying crumb cake, eggs 🥚 and coffees. I’ve been awake since 6:00 🕕. Right now my husband is in bed 🛌 with a cold. I’m dressed to shoes. I did my hair and makeup even if it’s just for me. The house 🏡 is quiet. It’s 8 degrees and bitterly cold 🥶. Spending time in reflection boosts my spirits and gives me energy to be joyful today. Merry Christmas 🎁 Nikki!

[@JubileeHomesteading]

This was incredibly beautiful! Thank you for this. We need more content like this in our day and age where the culture is quickly trying to define womanhood, so astray from reality and truth, as defined by God, who made woman in His image. We are the nurturers, the caregivers, and are to be teachers of the younger women, like you mentioned is stated in Titus 2, and it starts with modeling godly womanhood for our own daughters! Thank you for sharing that your channel is for the glory of God and not your own. That's true inspiration! Much love.

[@melstyle7619]

My question would be how does she get her children back on track if they are in school and being influenced by the social norms? I find that this is where kids tend to wander and experiment with what everyone else is doing.

[@connieryan5732]

Nikki that is by far one of the best videos you have ever produced, and That is also one of my favorite poems. Parents more specifically mothers have an on going battle with the lies of Satan , the lure of the world , social media and the influence of their friends which speak directly against a mothers wisdom , and Gods counsel . Most of the time we fight for their time , respect, and willing attention , while the world is working overtime to influence them to everything contrary. We have One job as parents that’s to make sure our children live Godly lives and that their salvation is secure, that they love God with their whole Heart Soul and Mind . Some days that ONE job seems daunting and impossible. Thank you for being a beautiful example , unwavering in your living out what God has commanded. Have a Blessed and Beautiful Christmas stay healthy and obedient , setting a model for not only YOUR daughters but for all your subscribers .❤️🙏✝️

I love how you are dressed in dresses and aprons. I love how you are not hiding the fact that you used a premade cookie dough and frosting! As a perfectionist - this is so important for me to see. It's truly inspirational - it makes it feel so attainable and real. Thank you for sharing everything on your whole channel. From my heart - thank you ❤️

Some very wise, inspirational and encouraging words you’ve spoken here, Nikki. A message which has seemed to be lost in today’s society. Sometimes, it’s hard to convey this very message without others receiving it in a hostile or offensive fashion. With so many women nowadays viewing belittlement of themselves or being less elegant as a prized feministic perspective, the importance of practising what you mentioned and being a good role model to our girls, and truthfully representing womanhood, motherhood and the job description of a wife cannot be stressed enough. So thank you for speaking out loud on your platform here. May this crucial message travel to the ears of all girls and women, young and old alike, everywhere in this world. ❤ ~mandy

This brought me to tears! I am a mother of 2 girls. 2.5 & 5 months (still building our family) but we are raising them in the Lord and His gospel and I just can relate to everything you said and do!! Even now at 2 my daughter runs around with her apron wanting to bake cookies and read her Bible. Singing songs of Jesus. It fills me with joy. I struggle a lot as I was raised by addicts and my father went to prison. So everything I know now is from the Grace of our Lord and Savior and His word. 4 years ago He called me out of addiction and homelessness and ever since then my husband and I (got married) and started a family. Traditional living- he works, I raise the girls and will be homeschooling and run the home. We are very different than most people we know. We value Jesus and want to truly live for Him. I could go on!! But I love your content. It makes me feel so at home and like their are other women out there like me.

Nikki, What a beautiful time in the kitchen with your daughters. Having our children’s hearts is a great key to parenting Godly children/young adults. Showing them we live to please the Lord in our heart, actions, motives and appearance is vital. This doesn’t make for perfect children or parents but communicating about the good times, the challenging issues and their goals is a very rewarding part of parenting. This can take hours a day when very challenging parts of relationships happen BUT what joy when the lightbulb comes on and you see peace flow over their faces. Owning businesses, choosing lifelong partners and dealing with heavy disappointments is not easy but we are so happy that our children turn to us, their parents first, their siblings (best friends) second and their likeminded cousins (lifelong friends) third. This did not happen by accident but by daily making the hard choices as parents which includes home education for our family. Thanks for sharing this beautiful video; Merry Christmas, Julie 🌷

Alcott was anti marriage and career minded in her own life and made her main character, Jo, modeled after herself. Alcott was also considered a feminist in her day - she was one of the first women in Concord Massachusetts to register to vote!

Thank you for this video and merry Christmas! Hopefully one day I'll have a daughter to mentor and teach as well.

Hi!! First of all, beautiful video and message!! I much needed one

Thank you for sharing this 🌹

You have outdone yourself! Just lovely! I read the sections of the Epoch Times that deal with home, traditions, health, finances etc. (Not the "news"...too depressing) These are troubled times for certain. Young women & men have been raised by daycare and government run schools teaching boys that they have toxic masculinity and teaching girls to be "fierce". Dictionaries have changed the definition of the words woman & man. A member of our Supreme Court could not define what what a woman is when asked,.. too afraid to insult the woke progressives. Our culture has crumbled and our media is assisting its demise at every turn. Parents: turn off your cell phones!!!! And do one BRAVE thing to help your children. It's scary! You're gonna think of a dozen excuses why you can't do it. Your children will be livid and possibly become physically ill. Your friends & family will say you're radical & mean. Remove thier cell phones. That's it. That's all. Miraculous thing will happen. "Oh but what if there is an emergency...a school shooter or they missed the scool bus or they get sick?" We didn't have cell phones growing up and we somehow were fine. Besides, every other human being around them has one if there really is an emergency. But the 18 hours a day that they were on tiktok would have to be filled with other things like playing with the dog, visiting a neighbor, making a sandwich, kicking a can down the road, reading, walking to the market for thier mom, cleaning thier room, and as an occasional treat...watching an episode of The Waltons on tv with thier family. Think about it. Or, are you really happy with the way your children are developing & acting?

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

Thank you Lisa! Those are my favorite sections as well. I'm always so grateful for the beautiful, life-giving pieces that are published within, just wonderful! I completely agree about taking away their phones and LOVED your list of what they could do instead 🌹

[@sozod2000]

Absolutely wonderful and needed. There is nothing wrong with traditional roles and ways. In fact the Bible encourages us to look to the ancient paths. Jeremiah 6:16. There is more life and happiness in roles that are defined, grace given, and love (true agape) given and lived than in positions of power and constant consumption of the world and its ways.

That was a really interesting article, Nikki. I love Louisa May Alcott's work. She portrayed strong, educated female characters and was actually a huge supporter of the suffrage movement promoting women's rights. I am very proud of my own daughter, who is an attorney, but more importantly is one of the kindest people I know. Thanks for sharing a sweet glimpse of you and your beautiful daughters enjoying a special time together. Merry Christmas to you all! Love, Alicia

Merry Christmas Eve Nikki, I really enjoyed watching you and your beautiful daughters baking sugar cookies. I always wanted a daughter, I had a daughter but I had a miscarriage but God Bless me with three son's. Can you share your sugar cookie recipe? Take care and thank you for sharing have a bless night.

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

Thank you Cathy! You have a good outlook, to see your blessings. The recipe was simply the Betty Crocker bag of sugar cookie mix. They were okay, next time I'll just make it from scratch as I know it's pretty simple. I appreciate your encouragement 🌹

I think a lot of Mothers are trying very hard, but both husband and wife need to help one another and too often only one person is doing nearly everything. My Mother raised 9 children and worked 14 hour days at a factory to keep food on the table and all the bills paid. I saw everything she went through and decided to remain single and to not date. I decided to get a degree a work so that I could come home to a house of peace and quiet. I took care of my Mother and lived with her until she died. She was absolutely everything to me and I think about her every single day. She was such a beautiful, kind, caring woman and I'm so glad to have had her for a Mother.

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

I think many mothers feel they are doing a service for their family by doing it all but in actuality, she is doing them a disservice. I love this quote by H. Jackson Brown “Choose your life’s mate carefully. From this one decision will come 90% of all your happiness or misery.”

[@reginasemenenko148]

@@TheLadyoftheHouse Many mothers are not given the choice, though. My Mother was a SAHM and my Dad chose to dump her. It showed me that I cannot trust anyone but myself. My Mother was a beautiful, lovely christian woman, but that wasn't enough for my Dad. It takes only one person to break up a family and my Dad chose to do that to our family.

[@reginasemenenko148]

@@TheLadyoftheHouse My Mother chose my Dad carefully, but she did not know that after 12 years of marriage he would change and become an alcoholic. No matter how much we vet a person, no one can predict the future.

@@reginasemenenko148 I can sympathize with you over a broken home as mine was when I was 5. It truly is traumatic to go through as a child and it shapes the way we may see the world and interact in it. Then we grow up. The best thing I’ve given myself through it is offering forgiveness and understanding I have a choice while realizing that I can allow what I’ve been through to help me or hinder me. It makes me fight harder for what’s important and also extend more grace to my husband because I know I’m not perfect either. A marriage is a beautiful union when God is the foundation for both because it was created by God but it’s true that it’s not for all and that unfortunate circumstances can arise because of just one person’s actions however, giving a person’s bad choices control over how we see everyone and every relationship-that’s a prison sentence.
