Aren't sisters the best? I'm the second oldest of 8 and the oldest sister us 4 girls. Along with my children and my mom, they are my very dearest, best friends! I love watching you cook here for yours and do your day with much love for your family! We are truly blessed, aren't we? Thank you for sharing your life with me! ❤

[@ouroilyhouse]

Yes!!!

[@judithbutler9695]

You are the sweetest sister ever! What a wonderful family, you can feel the love! Meatloaf looks great.😊

[@karenwoods4387]

I love the way you use lard. It is the best to cook with. I remember watching my grand mother cook with bacon drippings and lard. It made the best fried fish ever. I use real butter and real fat. It’s better for us. And I have a lot of cast iron cook ware also.

[@kcotjo]

You are so kind to take your sister meals! The meals that you prepared for your family on this video look wonderful. I really appreciate seeing the ways that you cook various meats. I do not like to cook but you make it look so easy. I am with you on the hair situation. I did not have girls and I think God knew what he was doing. Thank you for sharing your homemaking. Zinnias are one of my favorite flowers with Geraniums at the top of my list. Think about potting some geraniums next year as they are so hardy and easy to grow. God bless you and your family!!

Hi Laura, family, and fur babies. Thanks for all the motivation. STTB

[@angelameredith4132]

You are so organized and my style is like yours. Everything has its place and put away 😀😊😇

[@laura01234]

Laura, I didn’t learn how to French braid until I was 40. It has always made me feel less than to not be able to do those sorts of styles. Now - after a lot of practice…and tears…I can do all sorts of braids. I like to braid my hair for the same reasons you to.

Could we meet your mom and dad? You woman are amazing!

[@rachellebrooke4614]

For our chicken soup we use the technique of putting all the cartilage with some broth and puréeing it in the blender and adding it back to the soup which makes it very creamy and nourishing

[@penneydunn8850]

You appear to always have it together. Always cooking delicious foods. Love watching. Twins are great.

[@ouroilyhouse]

Thank you so much !!

[@kareneakers9540]

I would be thinking of every excuse in the book to go see those babies! Love them sweet babies! 😀 I know the sausage, eggs and potatoes was so good for breakfast! Your a great mom, you feed your children very well! May God bless you and your family

[@munchkinheaven7877]

I find that during the warmer months ants come in looking for water, they then find sugary sweet substances, especially if children have been around with food, I have found if I regularly hose down my patio area the ants don’t come in, they have their water so don’t seek out food.

[@rebeccaknudsen6190]

Margarine is a lie! Fat from clean sourced meat is the best! You are so right! Your family is so beautiful in kindness and love. It seems like you came from a happy loving family in that your sister's seem close. So great! It's what makes life worth living the way God intended! Thanks for sharing.

[@chrissyt22]

How fun to have a niece and nephew born only 10 days apart! I have twins and when I found out that I was having them I kept saying, "I just wanted one more". Lol. And then after them I had another one. I have 5 all together. Having twins is fun but hard when they are little. I wouldn't trade it though🙂

[@ouroilyhouse]

Awwww so so fun!!!

[@nancyloshe9027]

I have a niece that has 2 sets of twins! (2.5 yrs apart) lol.

For your chicken noodle soup in the fall and winter season you should add a little chunk of ginger to help with their immune system.

[@francinemilette8535]

So nice following you here. I was happy to see on your sister’s post when she gave birth. My daughter gave birth to her first child, a beautiful baby boy, me happy gramma!!

[@paulacostello6912]

Thank you so much for talking about fully embracing summer for as long as you can. I watch another youtuber who was talking about now's the time to stock up for winter and I hate that! I live in Canada so my summer is short and my winter is long and can be really, really miserable. I just don't want to think about it until i absolutely have to. And I agree with the commenter below -- you can totally French braid. You make lye soap!!!

[@amypeckham]

I finally bought another gasket for my Instant Pot and I use one for savory recipes and one for yogurt and grains 🙂

[@jenniferwolford4646]

Some of those grass plooms would look beautiful in your arrangement!! 😊

[@cherylzink3612]

Everything looked really delicious Laura! So happy your sisters had their babies! 💙❤️

[@chrismccormickyy3476]

If you can make sourdough, you can French braid!! 😂Great job with all those kids 💕💙

[@harley8680]

Toys! I so agree and wish with my own three growing up I would have narrowed down. My Grandson I care for a few days a week (he just turned 4) and he has his own bed and room area here. We have taken away things and try and rotate. It helps everyone's anxiety and clutter. He plays much better with less things! When he gets here today I will have to show him that the baby was there with you in a clip! LOL Have a great weekend Laura!

[@ouroilyhouse]

Yes! Less is definitely more ☺️

[@jimkuntz8423]

I am convinced hearing you, your sister and many KZbin’s its all about me me me and how wonderful KZbinrs are. BTW i am the wife, but saying always how wonderful you are and family is perfect i only hope you and your sister have the perfect lives forever It must be wondeful to talk about how wonderful you are every youtube

[@kindnessmatters4068]

Your comment makes me sad... hope you find happiness soon. ♡

[@megoya]

We get a lot of ants in certain areas too and a mix of water, Castile soap and tea tree oil kills them instantly and keeps them away. I’d recommend it.

[@rhondaborders3452]

Would you mind sharing how to mix this up. I am having a problem with ants.

[@megoya]

@@rhondaborders3452 I do 500ml of water and 2 tbsp of Castile soap. That kills them instantly. The tea tree is supposed to eliminate the scent so they can't trace it and come back.

[@tessab.2065]

[@rethawilson6289]

Great video, and I love the music. We r so blessed to have sisters. My mom was expecting me, and 2 of my sisters were expecting. Needless to say, I'm very close to my niece and nephew . Keep up the great job.

[@Juddly]

Maybe you've had this suggested before but I think you removed/replaced your old stove hood and keep your spices ontop of your stove... What if you found or made a spice rack to fill the space above your stove? Just an idea. Love your videos! Take care 😊

[@ouroilyhouse]

I definitely want something there and can't decide what?!?

[@sandymcdonald6t1]

[@jessicaweldy1403]

I just told my mom yesterday that I wish I could get our hog into just sausage and bacon cuts!😆 so I totally agree! I'm glad you said you did that-i think I'll talk to the farmer we get ours from and see if they can do that. Thanks!

[@debrasaints3809]

You are such a sweet sister! I love to watch your day! You are a God fearing woman. Sending blessings and love ❤️🙏🏼

[@beckyb1797]

Hi Laura. You might know already but just in case to get the smell out of your instant pot ring I throw mine in the oven at 250 for like 20 minutes or so and that takes away any smell. I usually have to do it when I cook this garlic noodle recipe. I love garlic but man the smell clings like crazy to that ring. 😂😂 Take care!❤

[@ouroilyhouse]

Great tip! Thanks

[@ellef4812]

Couldn't agree more about staying in summer for as long as ya can. I've thought for years now how the stores take us into the next season WAY TOO EARLY. My goodness, let's enjoy where we are. Also, is there a lard you would recommend from a store? I use to use lard for frying. I try to use small amounts of ghee for the little frying I do now but would prefer lard. Thanks! 😊

[@ouroilyhouse]

Yes, I agree!!! I love embracing all the seasons!! For lard, I would just look for ones that were from hogs that were fed a non gmo diet!

I’m really loving your videos.. I’ve found them very motivating.. I have a 9 and 6 year old at school all day and then a 1.5 year old at home and I just struggle knowing what to do and when to do it.. I’m also in school (online).. do you have a routine? I just feel lost most days.

You are amazing! Truly ! The meals you make for lunch I would have only made for dinner! I made the chicken nuggets, pizza, peanut butter and jelly …etc! You are such a hard worker!

[@ceegee1070]

What a beautiful soup ladel! I ordered the LMNT and like it. The first flavor I tried was Jalapeno Lime. I mixed it with 16 OZ of water... What a shock, lol! Then I added water and it was good. I haven't tried all of the flavors yet but know already I have a few favorites. It is great when working outdoors. All of your food looks delicious. Congratulations on your new niece and nephew❤

Diluting Castile soap and lemon essential oil

When my daughters toys got out of hand, I wouldn’t allow anymore unless they donated equal amount coming in. If they each wanted a toy, then they had to choose a good condition toy to donate first.

Great idea!!

[@TheHilary49]

Can you tell me where you purchased that sprayer you made the ant deterrent from. BTW I just found your channel and thought you sounded just like the blogger Farmhouse on Boone. I didn’t know that was your sister. 🤦‍♀️ Do the other sisters blog too? I’m enjoying watching your back videos.

[@teddygingerbear1372]

When I made homemade chicken noodle soup in cooler months, I roast two chickens in the oven. Reserving the breasts with skin on for dinners. My tip- buy some disposable gloves for kitchen use. Wearing them protects your hands allowing you to pick a pretty warm chicken!
