Preparing and Prepping

[@LifesArchives]

New subscriber, love your content! Although the clickbait titles make it really hard for me to find the videos I’d love to watch on your channel as I don’t know what all is going on in the episode. It’s pretty difficult to navigate through all videos with your title selection. Not a hater at all just an observation you may care to know from a subscriber!

[@alumniadri8716]

I have a hard time finding what to watch to

You and Lisa have mentioned before about your Mom cooking dinner for all of you every Sunday. That’s an amazing accomplishment to feed almost 30 people EVERY week. I know how much work is involved for the Thanksgiving dinner I do and that’s when people bring dishes! She must be an incredible and organized woman. Would she share some of her tips with us?

[@catherineengel4720]

Dishes and laundry, never ending

[@faithreyes8797]

I do the same thing regarding cleaning up when the toddler is down for a nap. I need a clean space so I can relax. I will have to try the sourdough skillet bake!

[@amsohn1]

Thanks for sharing! Blessings ❤

[@evanorvell8368]

Wow! Your mother is a trooper cooking every week for that big family! ❤❤❤❤

[@janefromthecountry1820]

You make two thanksgiving day celebrations! That is very generous of you. You and your sister, Lisa , are amazing moms. Have a fun and safe trip to New York City. My trip was to Italy and France in 2023 with my daughter. Have a lovely weekend!!❤Do you make any vegetarian dishes?

[@gingerrogers5062]

I absolutely loved this video! It’s calming; there’s honestly a Zen-like feeling to your gentle routines that is soothing. I didn’t want it to end. Looking forward to your next installment and wishing you + yours a truly happy holiday season!

[@rondalandeenlandeen2485]

You're a very normal mom you're doing great those kids eat so good❤

[@wandarumney6952]

Do you still home school if so how do you fit it in with all your other chores? You are an inspiration!

[@mariemerc2064]

I'm like you , always tidying through out the day . Can not stand things not in there place ❤..

[@judithbutler9695]

I absolutely love watching your videos! You make cooking look effortless! I relate to your basket🤣🤣 we want what we want🤷🙌🏻

[@Suecaroline7]

I do mid day after lunch clean up too. How do you manage the homeschooling part? I understand your is home, does he take over that part? I’m struggling to juggle everything.

[@barbarapeterson8030]

HAPPY FRIDAY Laura, family, and fur babies. How precious, family girl trip. Food looks delish. Enjoy your weekend. STTB

[@tammycope3145]

Thanks for sharing! Everything looked wonderful! And this grandma thinks it is smart to clean up mid day!

[@marilynderise2683]

I Watch the Both of You, May December, Bring Many Blessings to You 💕🌲🌹

Try this recipe Laura. Sweet potato brownies -1 cup cooked mashed sweet potato -1/4 cup cacao -1/2 nut butter -1/4 cup maple syrup

[@ouroilyhouse]

Thanks for sharing!

[@rachelfrees1268]

Have fun in New York.🎉 23:55

[@davidbowen2175]

love sweet potatoes with butter & molasses, no pecans for me. rhoda Bowen, conyers, ga

[@JessicaCarnahan-o5q]

Thanks for sharing the journey and giving inspiration ❤

[@jacintasalt8731]

Yes! The never ending dishes. I do a mid-day clean too so when the baby wakes at least he can get used to order in the house.

[@MrShine-zi1hg]

We use just ONE cracked up old plastic basket. I’ve been watching for the perfect one at the thrift shops too! For now I just deal with hurting my fingers lifting the heavy basket 😂

[@mrsaguas524]

If you haven’t already, try letting the sauerkraut sit for at least 6 months 🤤 SO GOOD!

[@rhondakeller-smith2729]

Such an inspiration!!!

[@JessicaCarnahan-o5q]

PS.. x I've been using the same broken laundry basket for years. I'm just cheap and want a beautiful on but not the price- I too have been keeping my eyes out a thrift stores, yard sales and marketplace... no shame Mama 😂❤

[@MarinaBanozic-lx1un]

Divni ste. I Vaša sestra❤

[@chrissyscorner3663]

Ur not crazy I totally get the mid day pick up! I only have one toddler but before she goes down for nap I have her help me with clean up of her own toys/books! Been working well so far haha

[@simoneclarke5104]

I love the silicone nipples for fermentation, they work so well. I even use them when I jar up our coffee beans.

[@heathermmartin16]

The older kid/toddler babyproofing struggle is real!! My 4 year old just looooves teaching the 2 year old how to get into everything 😅 Aside, what size cast iron skillet were you using here for the sourdough skillet? 14"?

[@Barbara-pz8ky]

You are so motivational Laura…wow your whole house looks great. I have a question about frame tv that maybe someone can help…do you purchase the subscriptions for art or insert your own? If you put in your own art…how? I have a smart tv and find it confusing…

[@ouroilyhouse]

So far I just use the art that came on the tv but I want to to add more. It has a USB plug in so you can download anything on that and just plug it in.

[@kristasteele8395]

Love seeing all ur spices, but I thought spices were suppose to be kept away from heat??? Just thinking if u and making them last and retain flavor as long as possible.

[@pama.6410]

Love your spices on the stove arrangement. If you care it is "wuss ter sheer" sauce. The roast looks delish! Think I pick up as I go but our family is grown and on their own so keeping things clean is easier. The only problem child left is the pup who doesn't care if she has muddy feet or leaves her bones everywhere. It would be nice to see you actually just sit while the kids take a nap!

[@michellenitschke5485]

In Australia we say it Wuss-ter- shire , or the slang version its wash-your- sister !!

[@Frugalinthewoods]

FRUGAL TIP FOR VIEWERS…. READ TO THE END!! Great video. I love to see what you and Lisa are up to! As a grandmother of 5 I adore the way you girls are nurturing your children in such a positive God loving lightness ✨ Also I make Sauerkraut as well ( this year from garden cabbage) Being frugally minded , I have never bought any thing fancy to make my Kraut just rocks that we have collected on our travels from some of our favourite places and coffee filters over the top and a lid! I rinse the rocks well after fermentation is achieved and store them in a zip lock bag in a drawer and use them over and over for years🩵💙

[@harley8680]

Oh my goodness, you crack me up so much! 😆 I hope you hold a raffle for those that left snarky comments about your laundry basket and the winner gets it sent to them - just for the snark! 😉 In all seriousness, I hope you find the basket of your wishes. A good basket means everything! Have a great Friday/weekend dear!

[@ouroilyhouse]

Haha love it!

[@noemilambert1412]

So true waiting for rice to cook I fold laundry lol anything while I’m waiting I’m busy get it done! ❤😂 We do a mid day clean up too I sit and rest during quiet/nap time too so I don’t think it’s dumb! Lol

[@tsilbaugh5314]

Oh, yes. Mid day clean ups were a must! Haha

[@mirthfulllaugh]

Hi, I get what you are saying about the laundry basket. Why buy a new one when this one still does the job. You know what you want and when you find it you'll get it. That's how you save money, you'll find what you are looking for.

[@keciadickson392]

I'm thinking another baby will be on the way......👶

[@glenelle24]

I think I spy a baby bump 😊

[@jponiros]

Good morning. What brand of cast iron do you like? Thanks

[@kittyrichards9915]

Looks like a typical day

[@pattymankowski5375]

Lovely

[@julspurser9833]

How long do you leave the sauerkraat on the counter, before putting it in the frig?

[@ouroilyhouse]

About 4 weeks!

[@julspurser9833]

@@ouroilyhouse Thanks! This is super helpful. I am always scared of harmful bacteria growth and want to refrigerate everything! ;)

[@brookes3851]

Do you wash your cabbage before cutting it ? Thanks

[@ouroilyhouse]

No, but I remove the outer leaves.

[@MargieBenson-dv9ek]

[@christinsala-pb8ww]

I’d love to see another cleaning video or a natural living video.

[@FoxRidgeRun]

I have been having trouble getting the krout to make enough brine..also I occasionally see some white stuff on the krout in the fridge what is this?

[@ouroilyhouse]

You may need to add more salt!

[@salberthal88]

Can you link the silicone sauerkraut tops?

[@ouroilyhouse]

They are linked in the sauerkraut video And blog post, both of those are linked in the description box. 😀

[@lorelwebber6435]

Are you feeling ok? I just noticed at 12:05 that you have sounds like you are struggling with respiratory.

[@sammizimmerman4143]

Do you make your own apron or do you have a link to it?

[@ouroilyhouse]

It's linked in the description box 🥰

[@AliceStanley-i5w]

For now just use zip tie for the basket. Its still functioning 😅

[@miephoex]

Thanksgiving was 10 days ago!

Are you guys LDS?

[@krystlebreton3335]

We eat it with hot sauce too 😂

[@kimbloebaum576]

What brand is your dutch oven? Do you like it ? I am looking to buy one. :)

[@harley8680]

Hi Kim! I asked the same thing a few months back. She said it is a Lodge brand. I didn't ask her the size though.

[@kimbloebaum576]

@@harley8680, thanks!

[@carolwhisenhunt7504]

I get so excited on Fridays because I know Laura will have a great video posted. Can't wait till next Friday. Loved this Laura. Ty.

[@DoloresMcCune]

Nope. Save that $5 for a basket you love unless it bothers you. We have one with missing handle it doesn’t bother me.

[@donnasymoniak5280]

It’s ok Laura, mine is held together with electrical tape🤣🤣

[@KAStodgell]

Is someone having your dad over for dinner? You are so good! I like to add meat on top of onions.

Wister- sheer. Easy way to pronounce Worcestershire. 🇦🇺

[@rhondakeller-smith2729]

I’ve seen a version that cracked me up, wash your sister sauce 😂😂 i hope that gives all a chuckle.

[@ouroilyhouse]

Haha love it!!

[@tinafaye2985]

Who cleans the stove over the food??

[@mindybgilmore]

It’s not over the food, it’s behind it. She uses all natural cleaners and is using a damp rag, so it’s not creating a dust or anything. She’s phenomenal at time management and keeping a clean home despite the number of people in her family!

[@bobbysandycam9677]

Such potential for a good channel just nonstop voice-over talking does not do it for me. Healthy Elizabeth says under her videos that she took Lisa’s classes and hers are great. Some talking, some music, some ASMR, some real life/real time talking. Plus the click bait is rather childish.
