HOMEMAKING AS A MENNONITE MOM OF 4 | BAKING & CLEANING

[@jeanniealford4234]

Glad you are letting O help in the kitchen. When my grandson was 3, I let him put jelly on his toast. His mom asked him why he liked to stay at my house. He told her, "because she lets me cook". I loved it.

[@amandamendoza4181]

And this is why I have watched your channel from the start and continue to try to watch every video! I’m a mom of 4 I have been a homemaker the last 15 years since my oldest was 3! Remembering to find joy in it can be a challenge, but you are a constant reminder and positive spirit that always points to The Lord!❤

[@BettyHorn]

I worked outside the home since I was 15. I hated homemaking because I was so exhausted by the time I got home and never had any help. However, in the past 25+ years, my health has kept me home. Strokes and fractures left me bedridden for about 4 years. I fought my way back and now I love keeping house. I never knew I could fall in love with washing dishes! I just love the feeling of accomplishment, not to mention the great feeling of a clean home.

[@CBA-kc9rc]

Dear Lynette, I just can't stretch enough how much your channel means to me. I follow you for a long time now and I think it's time to let you know that because of you, I have become a believer again, because of you I found the Lord again, because of you I found my way out of depression as you have shown me that there's so much more to life than this. I'm so very grateful for you and yours and I keep on praying for you all on a daily basis. THANK YOU so much for everything you have done and do for me. You're indee d an awesome woman. May the Lord bless you and yours abundantly. Claudia from Germany

[@Angela-ep9pm]

Good for you, Claudia! Keep the positive attitude and keep building your relationship with the Lord.

[@LynetteYoder]

😭😭 Glory to God!! He brought you out of the miry clay and set your feet on the rock! As it says in the Bible!! Thank you for sharing this with me!!😭 I’m so happy to hear this.

[@CBA-kc9rc]

​@Angela Thank you, Angela. I intend to do this wholeheartedly. Be blessed.

[@CBA-kc9rc]

​@@LynetteYoder I praise the Lord, that he has chosen you to make me finding HIM again. The Love you have for the Lord and your faith keeps shining through every fiber of your being and I'm glad I was allowed to catch a glimpse of your light. Thank you so much, Lynette. 🤗🙏

[@lesliedavis6081]

Praise God! So happy for your return to the Lord! May He continue to build your faith each and every day, and may you share that faith with those you come in contact with. @LynetteYoder you are indeed blessed as God has used you to share your faith with the world around you! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@darlenebuck3991]

Homemaking and mothering was always my calling. Kids are grown now, but I still love keeping my house organized and clutter free. Love watching you with Oaklynn helping. I always let my kids help in the kitchen and now they cook (the boys too) in their own homes. I think it helps them not only to learn but to be creative and to appreciate time with Mom! Love that you share it all with us! God bless.

[@rosemaryharris6064]

I absolutely love your video. Your dreams remind me of my own when I was a child and teenager. Now 30 years later with two amazing adult children, I look back and see how all my dreams actually came true. My husband and I are greatful for God's abundant blessings and look forward to our next season of life. I love the beauty of homemaking that you share with other young moms. You have a calming way of making daily chores enjoyable. I love hearing background sounds of your children chattering and giggling and having fun. Blessings!

[@PeppermintPaddy321]

Thank you for giving us strength to acknowledge that things change when being a full time mother, grandmother, wife, caregiver. Age plays a big role in my chore accomplishments every day.

[@wendybartlett9280]

I agree with Patricia. It was good to hear you say that in this season your cleaning has changed. I'm 62 now and it has been hard to accept that with my arthritis that cleaning gets done one room a day rather than all at once. It looks fine, but it seems so different to do it that way nowadays. I remind myself that growing older is a privilege that not everyone gets to experience, and to be grateful for this stage 💜

[@barbb.7028]

Call me crazy but I enjoy doing the laundry. It's so satisfying when everything is clean and put away again. I'm a grandma now but I remember when our kids were young. Life is busy. I felt so blessed that I was able to be a homemaker and mother. Even though some of the daily chores were so routine, I did find joy in my calling. I knew that I could be a big part in raising them to love the Lord and also share in the important things in their lives.

[@colleen1770]

My grandson helped me make brownies and he was so excited to crack the egg and put in the ingredients. He told his mom all about it. O is a natural in the kitchen. So precious.

[@peggetennant]

So wonderful to see a new generation of homemakers teaching the children and keep house as God intended for woman to do. I am now 80, but it worked for me, my mother, her mother, her mother, and generations back. I still have pictures of my great great grandmother baking and sweeping. It works. God knows what He is doing. Thank you for a peaceful interlude in my day. Now, I am going to bake an apple pie from scratch for my grandson.

[@vickyroberson2441]

Old lady here. My favorite housekeeping chore is putting sweeper, broom, mop, etc up after a day of cleaning! Oh yea! That is a good feeling! 😁😇

[@homespundevotions]

Oh, your bread looks amazing! I haven't been brave enough to try that yet! It was so sweet to see you and Oakland cooking together. How she will cherish those memories throughout life! You are such a sweet wife, mom, & homemaker. I appreciate you and your channel so much! God bless you, sweet friend.

[@annwilliams9214]

Love that Oaklynn enjoys cooking with her momma. Brings back memories of my own childhood, especially with you wearing an apron. All mommas wore an apron in the kitchen. My dad and the uncles would wear a huge white butcher apron when carving the meat. Good times.

[@mariejeanne9461]

My favourite chore to do is washing!! I love to see it fluttering and dancing on the clothes line and then I enjoy folding my washing and then to see the items in their drawers or hanging in the closets! Whilst folding Lynette, that is my time to be alone with my thoughts and then job done, satisfaction guaranteed!! Your bread looked fantastic at the end. Best wishes.

[@marilynpearlman5681]

You do an excellent job. My favorite has always been cooking. It is very rewarding when everyone says “Yummy”. I have raised my children, did all the house keeping chores, and worked. Years ago we did not have child care. My husband worked days, and I worked nights. I am a nurse. Gotta do, what you gotta do. I enjoy watching your family grow and all the work on yours house. I have been following all along. Have a lovely weekend.You are a charming lady

[@mjlvnv]

I always loved cooking and baking with my daughter when she was a kid. It was such a great bonding time. Now she is grown up and a great cook and homemaker 😃I love watching you and Oaklyn together ❤

[@pama.6410]

What a godly day! This was so enjoyable to watch. Oaklynn definitely has a strong personality!😅 She will probably need that in this world. She is becoming a great helper!!! Seeing you carrying Harper made me realize that phase of your life is almost over!!! Enjoy it! Love to see all the cooking. That bread came out so perfectly! Your house looked terrific! Kind of laughed when you worried about the bathroom drawer needing some organizing and thinking there was clutter... compared to the average bear, things looked fantastic! Thanks for the advice on stackable washer/dryers. Wonder if they can be on a board on wheels to pull out easily. Love to hear the attitude of gratitude.

[@cindykaye3152]

There is such a sense of peace & joy in your home! So wonderful to watch you teach Oaklynn as she helps you in the kitchen. My favorite homemaking task is laundry, especially towels. God bless y'all!

[@tinavaillancourt1165]

Laundry was always my favorite chore to do and still is.

[@joycerapp2583]

Love watching u videos Lyn. Oaklyn does so good in the kitchen. U family and u create a goodly pleasant lifestyle and show what fulfillment and joy and satisfaction being a homemaker wife and mother can bring u. Thank you. ❤

[@dianesavant2818]

I hope your heart feels peace. You seemed a little down on an Instagram post. Blessings to you and your family. You are doing a good job, Mom.

[@barbarabrown4767]

My favorite house keeping chore is doing laundry. And ironing 😊

[@junemcrae8393]

It's lovely to see you and Oakland doing things together, IHarper is growing up fast a mothers work is never done ❤❤

[@danielas.4607]

Hi Lynette, I would like to say thank you for your videos here on KZbin. In this video you say something about your role as a mom and wife and I agree with you. I'm so thankful to see your life and how you enjoy to be at home with your children and how you make everything cozy and beautiful. It's a blessing for the world. Lovely greetings from a mononite mom out of Germany

[@sandrawilloughby5635]

Oh my the bread at the end!😋 fresh bread and rolls are my weakness! It’s a good thing I don’t know how to make it Lol I admire you so much! You have a wonderful gift of decorating and organizing! My kids are grown and I still can’t get all of my house work done at once!

[@pamelapigue]

Lynette, your bread turned out so beautiful. I'm sure it was delicious. I love all house keeping. There is something rewarding about the end of the day to be able to settle down and relax in tidy clean home. You are such an inspiration to Mothers that just need to see an example of how easy it can be to take care of things as needed and not have to wear yourself out trying to do it all at one time.

[@anna_miller]

I’ve recently started being more intentional with my role as a homemaker, and finding it’s such a joy! Loved the video!😊

[@mlm7598]

I don't have a favorite house cleaning chore I just like when it is all clean/tidy in total and comfortable. It really relaxes me when things are in their place and I feel like it would be company ready at any time. Not spotless, as we live here but just comfortable. Not sure if that makes sense but it relieves my stress a ton. Love your attitude about stages of life. It is so true and priorities shift for sure. Remember some day those babies will be gone and off on their own and you can clean house all day and it will stay that way ............and the silence will bring memories of wonderful things out of order and days of wishing you were needed more, as you are now. Enjoy the fact you have dirty dishes and then sigh when they are clean.........life goes too fast and I miss the laughter and banter of doing dishes with the girls or asking son to take out the trash. LOL Empty nesters probably look at things differently. God bless you and the family and keep on being the wonderful wife and mother that you are. Dirt can always be swept mand dust can always be done "tomorrow" or "tomorrow'........ it's just dust! 🙂 Loving your little family and have literally watched them grow........beautiful children and a devoted couple with so much love to give........you are blessed!

[@debidurham984]

Love your channel Lynette!!! Love watching the girls, they are adorable!!! You are so inspiring!!! My favorite thing about homemaking is decorating!! My least favorite is mopping. But I do it!!! My kids are grown so I'm an empty nester. Just my husband and I. So my home stays clean !!! But when my 3 kids were at home I was busy like you!!! Looking forward to your next video!!! Take care God bless!!!

[@renabuckner8]

I love sharp cheddar - the sharper the better! Favorite house keeping chore is kitchen work! I have been learning to make sourdough bread so there has been a lot of baking and just kitchen work in general!

[@pamelar5868]

I enjoy putting away the fresh laundry. It always feels like a reminder of how blessed we are to have amenities and extra clothes!❤

[@debbiemccann3711]

My mom always had my brother and I help in the kitchen I'm 64 and my brother is 63.We both carried the tradition on with ours.Some of mt best memories is those.😊

[@melindaparks5597]

So happy to see you letting Oaklynn help in the kitchen. Making memories. Love your laundry room also. My favorite homemaking chore is making a nutritious tasty meal for my husband.

[@ginger1549]

Bread turned out beautiful. Made me hungry. Oaklyn is getting so big and her beautiful curly hair is so long now. Favorite housework job - writing a check to my housekeeper. I can tell you my least favorite is laundry. I HATE everything about it from sorting to folding and everything in between. I take one day - about once a week or so and just do it all in one awful day. I bought a new housekeeping tool I love - it's a Shark vac & mop. It is for hard floors - you can vaccuum up crumbs etc but if you come upon something that needs wiped up you just spritz it and go over it and it wipes it up. They sell a cleaner to use in it , but I just use vinegar water. I highly recommend this product.

[@bobbiefarrar3036]

Folding clothes; cleaning bathrooms, cooking meals, etc. are opportunities to talk to God and thank Him for clothes that keep us warm, indoor plumbing and food in our guts. He is in the details of our lives - the joy of the Lord is our strength. Thanks for your video. God bless you and yours.

[@kristenschnese6980]

Oh that bread looks delicious I’ve been having trouble getting mine to rise in the second rise… house keeping hmm favorite chide is when I get things organized now keeping them organized is a different story and I king have a husband he’s getting better.. I think my house is cluttered but then when our pest control guy comes he laughs and says trust me this is immaculate .Than my s for always sharing tips and ideas I always feel up best after watching one of your videos

[@cherylmiller7208]

Good morning Lynnette! As far as a favorite chore, I really don't think I have a favorite chore. I guess I would have to say vacuum and mopping as I'm a country lady. I go barefoot in my home and I love the feel of clean floors on the bottom of my feet. Nothing better, NO GRIT! Your bread, Lynnette looks delicious, but if I made bread I would eat all of it and wouldn't fit in the front door! 😂🤣😂 Oaklyn is such a big helper! Have a blessed weekend! 🙏❤️🤗

[@wendyrumbel4354]

Your pantry is beautiful, and the bread looked amazing. Love the little helper O in the kitchen she’s so cute. Harper is getting so big. Where has the time gone. God Bless your Beautiful family.

[@pamwilliams4540]

Like doing laundry, folding the clean, sweet smelling clothes. Not a fan of doing dishes( we dont have a dishwasher,except for me ) but when i do them i am reminded that we have been blessed with food to eat and a way to prepare it. God is good all the time! Thank you for sharing yor home, children and talents with all of us.

[@dawnerobins9854]

Amen to finding 💞JOY in all things we do!

[@aprilmapp3140]

Interesting thank you makes my day watching you and doing my house work ,God bless you all .

[@SJD36]

Yum! The bread looks great ! I enjoy folding laundry as it relaxes me. We moved our washer and dryer closer to my kids bedrooms as it use to be on a different floor. That has been a nice change ! Your video was inspiring to me. I stay home with my 4 kids and the clutter annoys me as well, but if I can have a few spaces clear ( as it rarely ever is all clutter free), that is my go to when I am needing a break! Now I think I will go make a warm drink (chilly here today in NY) . Thanks for sharing❤ great content!

[@debyrah]

I don't know that I love it, but cleaning the bathroom gives me the most satisfaction. I'm going to try the granola. I've tried another recipe but really wasn't that thrilled.

[@peterwhite9261]

Lynette, your recipes and housekeeping look fabulous. Having Oaklynn in helping you is good for her to learn, also the boys can learn too. You have good promotional items that are very useful on your channel. It is so true that we need to find joy in what we do. When you do the same tasks on a daily basis, it is important we appreciate what we can do. When I was younger, I could go through the house inside and out in a day. Now that I am older with health issues, I am more grateful for what I can do. I am not the kind of person to ask for help, so if the task is not of urgent nature, I will let it stay until I feel better. I completely understand where you come from. My mom and dad had eight children. 7 boys and one girl. Honestly, I don't know how they did it. I know there were many sleepless nights, though. However, the one constant thing was a strong faith and prayer. That is still true for me and always will be. I pray for continued blessings on you and your families. ❤

[@awquerida7602]

I love your videos. I love that Harper was serenading you at the end of it. I wish that you'd do a step-by-step video on breadmaking. In all of my years, I've always been intimated by it. My attempts resulted in brick type unbaked breads. My husband does the kneading and bread making. I think it's so therapeutic though I would like to do a nice beer cheddar bread or rosemary sourdough.

[@lscpjc]

Love seeing Oaklyn helping in the kitchen-such a beautiful little girl. Your videos bring a smile to my face no matter what

[@susanbullock4370]

As always Thanks for sharing a little bit of your home ! I watch you as I do my exercise bike ! Makes time go faster!

Moving to a new house in a few weeks. Looking forward to putting my personal stamp on it. AND landscaping!

[@susanseifert925]

Oh my! That is the largest stainless bowl I have ever seen. Love it. Please share to unique whisk you and your daughter were using. Have never seen that type of kitchen cool and find it interesting. In closing, thank you so much for the reminder to seek joy in our everyday life’s and peace in that “it” is ok. 🙏🙏✌️🙏🙏✌️🙏🙏

[@jeanenelunsford7185]

I found your channel this morning and just love it! You asked us to post what is our favorite household duty. At the top of the list for me is hanging laundry on the line to dry. It is very much like therapy for me between smelling the clean laundry smell, being in nature and seeing the mountains and hearing the birds and cattle from our neighbors ranch. Even down to how I hang the clothes. In the midst of a busy life in ministry work and the every day of taking care of my husband and home and farm animals, I find that I very much need this task to allow me to bring my focus in and not be so busy and scattered in my thoughts

[@elizabethcarney3608]

Happy Birthday! Harper! Oaklynn has a great laugh!

[@jojocatattack]

I like cleaning the kitchen. I am also an organizer and like finding new ways to make it easy to find what we have on hand for recipes and projects.

[@grisespino5342]

Love your home design aesthetic. Oakland has the sweetest voice. Made me smile the whole time.

[@Bel_c219]

Love your videos, Lynette. Your girls are dolls. I like your laundry room and how well you have designed it with the cabinets, Such a nice idea for shoes. I agree gotta have a decent laundry room and storage area. Keep up your good work. God bless u & fly. 🌻🌼🌺🏵 From Australia

I'm a major mature cheddar fan, thick slice on digestive biscuits with a slice of apple on top!❤ Little Oaklynn helping Mum in the kitchen too cute 🙏🇮🇪❤️

[@jaimeg.3012]

Call me crazy but my favorite household chore is laundry. Ironing to be more specific. It is my stress reliever. Saturday afternoons I break out the iron and ironing board and all my stress just melts away!

[@ruthmcdannald8785]

Would be great if you got the minnie loaf pan for Oakland to make as you make the regular size

I always enjoy watching you and your lovely family Lynette, you have such a lovely home. The bread looked yummy 😋 xx

[@jojo-tz2ym]

I like doing dishes by hand. I have used my dishwasher twice in the last 6 months. I hate sweeping. Love your videos

[@lindygarno874]

I really really like having all my laundry cleaned & put away all nice & neat. I live alone so I rotate everything & put the clean on the bottom or else I'd be using the same towels & such over & over. I know when I've last worn my clothes by where they're hung up in the closet. Just ICD i guess

[@laurale8299]

The bread looks good. I like the gadget Oakland was beating the eggs with. My mom had one of those, and I've used it a few times. The house looks good. My favorite house chore is doing laundry and then washing dishes.

[@willothewispl]

Brianna your bathroom is lovely. I am happy you did it over. When you would be in there, I used to think all the time how I would love to redo your other bathroom. Makes a difference to wake in the morning and go into such a pretty room to get ready for the day. God Bless.

[@sarahjones6858]

I loved this video. VERY inspiring and beautifully done. Thank you!!🤗😊😘

[@RitaS0831]

It is so nice to see Oaklyn helping you in the kitchen. I never had a lot of patience except letting my daughter do baking. Hopefully she will continue to help and someday do more.

[@susanpatterson2737]

Loved your video it motivates me to continue keeping my home organized. Thank you😊

[@ConservativeVeteran]

Love seeing you teach O and letting her help you in the kitchen. Love hearing the sounds of children laughing and playing in the background. Love it the you and the girls and your mom have a "girls' night out". God bless all of you!

[@vickiewinfrey2439]

I’m like you I take pride in keeping my home not as good as I use to much older and back issues but love a clean house love to declutter such satfaction it brings.Enjoyed this video

[@NR-xn9ji]

Watching you has inspired me to get back into sourdough again. I was able to get a good starter going and made my first loaf. So good!

[@willothewispl]

I love your home how it is. Was interesting watching all the remodeling work being done. I am going to check out these air cleaners. I have asthma and was looking to buy newer ones for my home. The ones I have been using need replacing. Your bread looks yummy. I used to bake bread from scratch. Now days I buy the frozen bread dough and cook it. Just love warm bread or rolls from the oven with melting butter and maybe a drizzle of honey. Your daughters are growing so fast. So cute. I would love to have a mud room, they do make a difference. My favorite thing to do in the house is cook or bake. And then clean up and enjoy whatever goodies I have made there. God Bless.

[@sarabrunsvold2461]

Well, I think I’m sufficiently tired after watching your day! You seem to be pretty organized getting chores done. I think my favorite chore, still, even though I live alone, is vacuuming. It looks so nice afterwards. Kind of like mowing the lawn. You have a beautiful family and home. God bless.

Love this vlog, your bread making skills are superb. I would say that would be my favourite part of homemaking, baking bread. However I do like to see a nice clean tidy house, and make sure that I do a certain amount of cleaning everyday, to keep all maintained. Harper sounds like she is trying to talk now, such a cute baby. Best wishes from England, across the pond.

[@debragalvez2891]

Oakland looks more like you all the time. She will always remember helping in the kitchen. Warm memories. And that bread makes my mouth water. I could never get sour starter to work for me. My mom did. We had sourdough pancakes every morning. One of those warm memories. ☺

[@colleenreimer]

Thanks for the little mom talk, brought tears to my eyes. What color are your walls? Also favorite chore..... Can't think of one. If baking is included that's what it would be. Your bread looked amazing!

[@MBMCincy63]

Favorite tasks are taking out the trash/ recycling and laundry. some times cooking. Shivering black bell and thumbs up.
