Making a Beautiful Home | Christmastime Edition

[@rachellebrooke4614]

I think it’s so precious that you honor the era of your home with the decor you use!

[@laurenturtle7037]

Love how you carry the new baby all the time, you can imagine it still feels its in its mums warm safe womb

[@nancyvance2772]

Your channel is a port in the storm! I'm 73 and still do huge christmases - decorations and meals, etc. This year I'm yearning for calm so I'm going to put up several trees around my house and decorate them with only lights. I am a wreath maker. but my own wreath (the only oneI will make like this) will be all natural foraged greenery! Greenery, white lights, and candle light - sounds blissful!

[@horselady4375]

I'm a granny to.i love hearing from us older gals.good job!

[@shirleycirio6897]

I really love your philosophy: Family first! Lights next.......year! =}

[@olololo9224]

So wonderful to have a husband that enjoys group work with the children! Merry Christmas to your blessed family.❤️

[@romalester1079]

Lisa, you truly are a blessing to your family. I was reading in proverbs this morning and you are the description of the worthy women in proverbs 31. Many blessing to you and your family.

We lived in an old 1945 home and we never had enough outlets. My husband is a 32 year on the job firefighters. Please do not use an extension cord and put it under your rug. That is a huge fire hazard. I would move your furniture around to accommodate your tree. Always use a surge protector for small things.

[@yurdreamwoman]

GREAT POINT! I AM A RETIRED EMT I SERVED WITH MY LOCAL FIRE DEPT. SAD WAS THE DAY WE WENT ON A FULLY ENGULFED HOUSE FIRE BECAUSE OF THIS VERY THING. PLEASE FIND ANOTHER WAY, GOD BLESS

[@Thisisit120]

Plug-ins for an old house is a real problem. We face that issue all the time especially around the holidays. People just gotten used to extension cords around here. No extension cords no electricity. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us.

[@trinaroe5132]

Extension cords under rugs are a fire hazard because people walking over the rug can cause the insulation on the cord to wear away and cause sparks. I run my extension cords up tight around the door molding or under the window sills and use an extension cord as close as possible to the trim color (white for painted trim and dark brown for the stained wood trim). I use small pieces of packing tape to keep the extension cord tight against the trim.

[@jaycie727]

You can always tell who decorates the tree when the top is all nice and spread apart. But the bottom is messy and close together.

[@teddygingerbear1372]

Merry Christmas! I remember finding your channel more than four years ago when I was interested in your DIY project for making Scandinavian twig ⭐️ stars 🌟. Over 40 years ago when first married, I began making my own Christmas decor items with hand quilted tree skirt & stockings made from pre-quilted fabrics and using fresh pine boughs, holly and winterberry in pottery crocks. Each year I may sew new items as my quilting skills have much improved over the years and my daughter lays claim to items from her years growing up for her own home. I’m sure your children will grow up with the best memories of Christmas time in the farmhouse with vivid memories of homemade cooking & cookies with hot chocolate, fresh pine boughs, homemade ornaments and the spirit of being thankful and giving. We always made lots of donations to food banks and animal shelters and gift drives for community. Thank you for sharing your life journey with others.

[@dorimartin6751]

Perfect as always!! I can't tell you how much you inspire me. I am a older homeschool Mom of 4 children and just LOVE watching your channel. Brings me back to my earlier years with my home and children. You are a blessing to your family and many of Us. I did order the KiwiCo. for my grandchildren for Christmas too. :) Your home looks beautiful and ready for Christmas!! Blessings of health, safety and JOY!!

[@donnaevans2005]

Love all the muted red, white and green decorations!

[@lizzie9989]

This video was like a warm hug from a good friend. I enjoyed it so much. Thank you for making it. I pray you and your family have a wonderful Christmas full of Christ’s blessings ❤️

[@sallysmith4492]

Lisa...how in the world do you look so cute when your body has been through so crazy much??? It must be a result of you living your best life.. God Bless you and your family this Christmas!!! Love the red and white ticking and the very classy natural decorative look!!! By the way, Theo seems very content!!!

[@weaver7703]

Some people just seem to hit the genetic lottery. I agree, Lisa looks fabulous for having her newest baby. She eats "real" foods and I don't know if she ever sits. Even when filming she's standing. Ha. I know she nurses that baby plenty so maybe she takes a few minutes to sit down to feed him. But when you have a small homestead and a large family, you have to stay moving!

[@rachellebrooke4614]

And eating fermented foods 😂

[@horselady4375]

Natural way is healthier and the body can contend with what is truly natural

[@ReinventedDelaware]

I spend my lunch hour watching your videos! It's so much fun to watch you do the regular things in life. I am loving your Christmas decorating!!

[@Vintage-zd5lu]

You show us that you don’t have to spend much money to have a beautifully decorated home for Christmas 🇦🇺

[@carriehunt6196]

So beautiful as always! Lisa you have such great way of decorating! I love that you use such simple things and make them look so beautiful!! 🎄

[@bishop2b394]

The thing about Command strips is that you have to place them where you want them and wait an hour or two before you actually use them. Even then don't stuff anything big into the hook area. It is better to wrap wire around your item then attach the wire to the hook. I did notice that they sell some that are for outdoor use. Very sweet decorations. 🎄🎄🎄

[@laurierios6646]

🌲♥️Love all of the simple touches! There is nothing like Christmastime to feel the coziness of a home! Have a beautiful and blessed day! Thank you for your peaceful ways:)♥️🌲

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Thank you so much

[@cindyclark9534]

Oh my heart ❤ everything you touch turns to gold! Your home is full of such wonderful Christmas goodness! You are so blessed!

[@TheRayjane]

I just love your farmhouse. I think your Christmas decorating is just perfect, very natural and simple. It’s nice to be able to have fresh greens around the house too. You are such an inspiration 🌟🌟🌟🌟🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄 .

[@denisedelgado3350]

The red and white looks so fresh and crisp!

[@tinawilliams3059]

Your Christmas decor is simple, warm, cozy and comforting!! May I suggest you add a ticking strip bow to the wreath on your front door! I would love To be able to find big crocks like you have. I guess I’m going to have to go thrift store shopping .

[@GoodPersonTestWebsite]

You're so blessed to have your husband home with you.

[@jessy5453]

I always find so much comfort in watching your channel. I wish every family in the world would be as close as your family is, with so many kids yet taking the time to educate, and also have fun with them. Thank you for making simple living so amazing. Merry Christmas!

[@aleshiasterland460]

Lisa your just beautiful… you inspire me to be more natural in my decorating. I treat myself and save your videos after my work days are done… I’ll get in bed and put on my head set and watch. So wonderful and relaxing. Thank you so much for sharing your videos and your life/ family/decorating/food. Blessings Helena Montana

Are you not hurting? I am amazed that you can do all of this and not seem exhausted. After I had my babe I had to just lay down.

[@jennaleejimenez8068]

Lisa, I always love your content:) Thanks for sharing bits of your life with us! I'd love to know more about how you guys tag team homeschooling. You guys seem to be really good at balancing those duties and meeting your goals together. It's refreshing and inspiring to see both you and your spouse homeschool!

Farm house for Christmas looks wonderful...🏡🎄

[@rosemarymunson915]

Perfection! Love that baby is always with you! The boys decorating skills…😂😂😂😂

[@karenhanley3912]

Your Christmas decor is so beautiful and authentic to your gorgeous farmhouse ! 🎄

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Thank you so much!

[@heycrisper]

About the possibility of the tree being dishevelled by curious and excited boys - you could try an activity where you make a large paper tree and tape it to the wall and have them colour and decorate cut out paper ornaments to decorate one of those? That's what I would try if they get happily excited to always decorate. My brother liked that activity the one year we did it. Though, try to avoid glitter. We should have got glitter glue. ha!

[@madewithloveandbutter5598]

So naturally beautiful

[@kindnessmatters4068]

Love your quiet peaceful videos, Lisa. Your music is always so relaxing. ☃️Merry Christmas, Lisa and family! God bless you all and may HE be your peace and joy always! No matter what we face or go through, I have learned, that HE always means it for good. ❤ 🎄🎁 Happy Birthday Jesus! Thank you for coming to earth, to die for our sins, so we might have full life everlasting!! ♥ 🙏 Oh your home is so beautifully decorated! I decorate with all live greenery as well! Mixed fir with holly tree branches. I add cinnamon pine cones with it... and, oh, how it smells GOOD!! ❤💚🤍

[@lindalagarce8996]

Love the red and white theme, especially the ribbon in the tree! Hugs and love from Texas. Your southern follower! Lol

[@jenniferrumsey9887]

Goal Zero Yeti 200X Portable Power Station is a solar system that you can place behind the tree when power is needed to provide safe power to the Christmas tree. The portable unit could be used year around for camping, power failures, or working outside. Extension cords should never be placed under rugs or walked on because they can cause fires. I am not affiliated with Yeti, but as an interior designer I have helped families after devastating fires.

[@gloriaalvarez3283]

What I like to do is use a red foil wrapping paper then tie a simple bow with your strip ribbon 🎀 Everything love beautiful. Also have you husband use staple 's on the electric Extension cord around door near the tree .out of sight out FYI.

[@lindaeshbach6494]

I love seeing what natural and simple decor you do. Inspiration made simple

[@lesliecarson684]

Lisa, everything is looking beautiful! Love the greens …and the candles just look perfect!! I love crocks filled with greenery on a front porch. Your creative flare on the potted plant is an awesome touch. The ticking ribbon was a great choice. Now for some soup. Hee hee.

Hi me to.i feel guilty cuz I just sent my kindergartener back to schooling after a home school zooming because of a mask order.its over now but she doesnt want to go back.she went with a smile but I'm still thinking next time it's going permanent homeschool.

[@niamha301]

Looks really cosy, just perfect for Christmas. For the light on the tree I always have ones that run on batteries, makes life so much easier. Also means that when my youngest pushes the tree around nothing breaks😅😅 Wish you a happy Christmas with the lovely Theo😊

[@dorothydonatello8494]

I find you totally amazing. I would love to know what you do for gifts this year for the family. And what you have done in the past.

So pretty!! I love the candles on your tree! I just saw some at a local shop by me but they were cordless so just individualy clipped on and came with a remote. I was in love and kinda kickin myself for not getting them now lol -I was also crackin up with the extension cords under the rugs...story of my life sister...yay old homes 🤣🤣

[@prasnlrdsheilawalker5241]

That soup looked delicious!!!!!

[@thelittlebrownranch9105]

It's a MAJOR FIRE HAZARD to run electric under a rug. I know you can purchase cords that are designed to go under a rug but those are not safe either. Do your research.

[@carmarasmussen8118]

I love your decorating style. You have such a knack for making simple things look beautiful.

[@ecocentrichomestead6783]

I would advise no cords running under the rug. Keep it visible and it won't get wore out by being walked on. Won't look as nice but will be safer if just duct taped to the floor.
