Sometimes I get lost in comparing myself to other homemakers. It is a constant battle as a young mother with lots of kids. Someone else’s home always seems more perfect. But pursuing simplicity, calm, and creativity has helped me to realize that comparison truly is the thief of joy, and it never ends well.

When my son was around 2/3 years old my best friend made a comment about how his toys were always out in our living room. I told her "I know that I will look back on this time someday and miss these days so I don't care". I'm 52 now and he's 18, and boy was I ever right. Treasure every single moment of your little ones. It's the only thing that matters. Thanks for sharing this relaxing video. It made me forget my stressful week at work for a little while. God bless you & your family.

So true. My son always wanted to play with his toys in the room that I was in. Everyone told me to tell him to keep the mess in his room upstairs. Well I didn't he spent his time playing around us. Anyhow he is 21 now and has a very close bond with us still. So glad I chose to put him first and not a clean house.

Sorry for my English. I am from Ukraine and in Ukraine. And I think I understand what it is like to live in chaos. In 2022, with the start of a full-scale war, I stopped cleaning my house altogether. I thought: "What kind of cleaning can there be if missiles are raining down on your head?" I lived in constant anticipation of the end of the war, postponing life "for later". But the war does not end. And now, I realized that this "later" may not come. Life is happening right here and now. The problems will not end. One trouble will be replaced by another. But my home can become a small island of peace for me and my family. A place where I can at least control something in my life. Maybe a missile will fly into my house tomorrow and I will die. And dying, I would not like to think that I missed my chance to enjoy life, even in such conditions. So, I am sure that it does not matter how clean your house is now, how tired you are of problems, as long as your loved ones are near, as long as you can hold their hand, as long as you can somehow make their life easier and give them your care - life is beautiful. And you have to enjoy life no matter what.

You are not alone... I pray for you and all the people of Ukraine every day and ask God's help and protection for you all. I can only imagine how difficult it must be to live with such aggression violence and danger all the time. May God change the hearts of those responsible and bring an end to the war so all of Ukrainian people can live in peace in their own country. Always remember there are people like me all around the world who care and are praying for a happy end to the war and for better times ahead for all of you. Vera in Northern Ireland ❤

I’m binge watching your videos. At 56 I remember many things you love being a part of my childhood at my grandma’s house. I loved it there. I never cared that many things were worn, or not the latest or she didn’t dress the coolest. I loved her and the way her house smelled bc she was always cooking or baking. I loved sitting around the table much like that one and telling stories and drinking tea. I find comfort in your videos. Your children will only remember your love and attention and the special things you made them. Glad I found your channel 💜

Those ending proverbs of wisdom made me cry. Finding value every day and putting people and joy over a perfectly manicured space. Also humbled by how long it took Kristina to find her MCM dinette table. Mine was just GIVEN to me. Albeit, it needs a bit of work, re-chroming and some protective Formica wax. There are other things that took me a year to find (like my Art Deco TV console table, technically a dresser), so. Thankful for the quick blessings and the long-term ones.

Not me crying because you just described exactly how I feel. I have had a tough month and seeing the good and beauty in the small, every day things has been so hard. I have also spiraled and felt like I was losing myself. That I wasn't a good enough mother, or wife, and I have felt like I had no purpose. But I'm slowly getting myself out of the dark hole that is my own brain. With the help of my husband and mom, I'm able to see the light at the end and slowly seeing the beautiful things around me again. I love your videos so much, I feel like we have so much in common and you're so relatable. Thank you for showing us a small portion of your life so that me and others don't feel so alone. ❤🫶🏼

Hang in there 🫂❤️‍🩹 I know the feeling. I guess that doesn't help much, but I spent years telling myself that I am safe, the landscape is beautiful, I have a place to sleep. It's really hard to absorb when life is flat gray and 1 dimensional. Just focus on a simple schedule, and know you are accomplishing something, even if you don't feel like it. If you can't enjoy something nice, like funny movies or music, just focus on self care. You are worth it! Hugs🫂

I get so emotional thinking about how fast life is going by. I am a new mom, my son is 15 months old. I am both happy and tender when i think that he will not always be the sweet baby i can hold in my hands. Thinking about how the world devours and changes us, about how i am going to have to at some point, soon, give him up, not have him all to myself... Those thoughts hurt my heart. But it is a blessing to be able to raise a child and see them grow and thrive. Nevertheless, it's a bitter sweet realization that these precious moments are fleeting, so i hold him and kiss him strongly and lovingly so, so hard! ❤

I do remember the endless dishes! Piles of laundry to fold. Over time it became less as one by one my children wanted to do their own laundry, sometimes the laundry would be bogged down as they would forget to hang or dry their clothes but that became less the more we went on. My husband recently stayed in Taiwan for 2 weeks, floor didn’t need to be swept as often as I used it,to,, house stayed tidy. So I can’t blame the children, it was him and only him that creates chaos in our house 😂😂😂 My house can be described as a cosy minimalist, but I absolutely adore people like you who live and breathe new life into vintage items. 👏 👏 👏 love them. I have been collecting vintage sewing patterns, will start to make my own 1940s clothing when I have time and routine. Can’t wait! Love the “new” table. Reminds me of the one my mother had - orange base. Fond memories.

Go with the flow and everything is going to be alright. When you talked about washing in the corner and not folded, I look up to my chair and washing that is not fold and thought of Aunty Nola and her washing. Her pile was bigger than mine . Miss her. Yes, the kids will grow up but sometimes they come home and then one day grand babies will turn up and the fun will start again.

With social media it can be hard to remember that there are those of us that find our peace and love in the ‘chaos’ of family life however that looks for us.

Your choice of background music always goes so well with your content, it's so beautiful ... Also your collection of ceramics and jars is adorable :) The fact that you manage a regular household of 7 people and still run a channel for like-minded people speaks so much about your energy and enthusiasm for life in general. Regarding giving yourself hard time about unfavourable comments on the internet or in real life, 1) not necessarily they might be negative all the time but can provide a definitive view of our own self, as in - 2) to see it as a third person and check whether it has any weightage and if I can actually improve something that I had overlooked, 3) or if it is just a disagreement which I can let go and not affect me as a personal criticism. I have learned so much about myself in positive and negative ways through internet that at this point I do not see things as black and white, but just pick up what can enrich/improve me and ignore what does not suit my lifestyle and philosophy. Hope it helps in being at the receiving end of the social media being a youtuber, which is not the case for the viewers like me.

Thank you so much for the video... loved seeing you building or rebuilding the children's kitchen (loved the ideas and that your children helped ^^), loved seeing you doing what YOU love instead what others think you should love and do. And most of all... loved and love the reminder that there is no need for a social media perfect life as long as you can enjoy the time with your loved ones. And, tbh, I really needed this video today. I'm fighting against depression for a long time now, but at the moment if feels like it's getting worse and I don't feel worth a single penny... always blaming myself for not being as perfect as all the people out there. But seeing your video reminded me that the real life and the life I should go for isn't that that's shown to us through social media... and that I can be happy and have a good life even without having a perfect home or perfect body or perfect health.... it all depends on what you make out of it and YOU... you make the best out of it and I really love you for that. For just being real and giving me the feeling that maybe I'm also capable of living just a good life. Thank you!!!! Lots of love to you and all your beloved ones.

I always look forward to a new video. The way you edit the video paired with your narration plays like a short story capturing sentiments and emotions that span across time, love of family, home, and life. There will always be those who have more and less than you and we all have moments of longing for what others have leading us to say, “ I wish…we need money to fix the…if only…” but living in the present and making the most of what you have now makes every day an opportunity to create special moments. Many years from now it would be very interesting to hear your children’s comments as adults on what it was like for them growing up with the simplicity it seems many others are currently trying to achieve (minimalism, decluttering, living with less, reduced consumerism,) in an attempt to refocus on what really matters in life.

I have yarrow in my backyard. You should have known my mother. She passed away recently. We'd go on walks in the forest (BC) and she'd peer at the ground with her hands behind her back for balance as she stooped over. And give us an education as she went. Self-diagnosed as neurodivergent in her 60s, and was quite open in telling us. If only earlier, she might have understood herself better and developed those passions much earlier, been easier on herself. She lived in Montreal when she was little, where her father worked as a buyer in the garment district. A contemporary of William Shatner and Leonard Cohen, whom she admired. Leonard that is. She said that the Americans are mistaken about bagels and that they actually originated with the Jewish bakers of Montreal. Further research required to confirm that. She had an honours degree in English and was quite eloquent. And then met my much older father and had seven of us, the first 6 within 7 years. A voracious reader with an open mind about her reading material; I'd look the other way when she picked up the old tabloids at the checkout. 🥰

10:25 I’m in tears because this was exactly what I needed to hear. I’ve been struggling since my 5th baby was born 4 months ago and it feels like I spiral into this dark hole of overwhelm because keeping up on everything is SO hard (impossible yet I keep comparing myself to others, and my house to others) and the noise is constant and the clutter is never ending. You remind me to cherish the small moments, those tiny, sticky handprints, those messes from daily childhood development. You are like a balm to my soul! It was amazing to see you foraging that yarrow! And building that play kitchen 🥹 you are incredible! I grew up with yarrow in the PNW and it is local here in UT as well but I’ve never foraged it. 💛

Dearest Kristina, I adore your life. My kiddos are 20 and 16. I miss these days you're immersed in now, and I wish I could've discovered all you have discovered about simplicity when I was in that season. Also, I absolutely love my nesco dehydrator. Found 2 on marketplace and they were a game changer. Dehydrating is my favorite way to preserve food and herbs. If you like dehydrating, I highly recommend one. 😊 Happy homemaking!♡

I'm not a parent, but I take care of parents. They ended up getting covid back in 2020 and between the aftermath of covid (my mom especially got clobbered with it and the aftermath of it is awful) and just getting older, unfortunately they aren't able to do as much as they were able to even 4 years ago. I definitely needed a reminder to slow down.

Whilst all yarrow has some medicinal properties it’s actually white yarrow that has the highest concentration of compounds for medicinal use. You’d have to look into the composition of the root and flower to see what you’re working with. All that said, harvest away. Beggars can’t be choosy and I’ve made salve from blue yarrow that worked just fine. Little extra concentration goes a LONG way. If you’re making tinctures, get the purest 55% proof vodka you can. It’s special order but it works best. Happy herbaling!
