Would love a video on chicken keeping tips! Hoping to get started on it this year and need all the tricks/hacks. 😊

[@racheltalbott]

@ I have some from last spring, but I will definitely share more this upcoming season. Xo

[@ByronTalbott]

I love this woman with all my heart. ♥️

[@kate_rae_porteous]

I love her!

[@abbygailsoriano2434]

We love her too ❤️

[@worshipwithme1306]

Awww so sweet 🥹🥹

[@sharminnasser8135]

That’s the cutest ❤

[@veronicagl]

You have a beautiful, sensitive wife ❤

[@HelloItsK8]

I have followed you for more than 9 years! Sometimes I go back and watch your older videos and I reflect on where I was in my life at that time and where I am now. We all evolve together, even though we don’t know each other, and we come back to this platform to focus on the beauty in the ordinary. There’s something so poetic and special about that. Thank you for creating this place for many of us to watch, reflect, and truly just center ourselves. May God shine His face upon you and your family. PS - also have followed your hubby’s cooking content for a few years now, too!! ❤

[@racheltalbott]

This comment is so beautiful, thank you so much for sharing your thoughts! 💕

[@gabysolano4898]

Hands down my fav content creator! Thank you for inspiring us all to live an intentional, simple, and peaceful life. God is in all of it! ❤

[@frenchbreadandfamily1811]

I love the idea of a thorough refrigerator reset every Sunday. Your kitchen routine is both encouraging and inspiring. Have a wonderful vacation in Hawaii! It’s the best place for self care, rest and recharge!

[@racheltalbott]

@@frenchbreadandfamily1811 thank you! I’m super excited!!

[@veronicagl]

I can't wait to see your spring/summer routine❤These types of videos of yours are my favorites where you show your shower routine or beauty routine. ❤It's so magical

[@racheltalbott]

Aww thank you! I love creating those types of videos.

[@sandybell3369]

It is inspiring to see how you keep the promises you set for yourself If I had a chef in my house, I will let him do the sour dough bread 😊

[@racheltalbott]

haha that's one thing he never really explored making--sourdough bread. He's done many desserts etc, but he's never been a bread baker. =)

[@Kimberly.Storyteller]

These are my favorite videos that you do!🖤 I can't wait to see what you guys have planned for your garden this year. Have a blessed week.😊

[@racheltalbott]

Thanks so much! We have fun plans for the garden this year. So exciting! 🙏🏻

[@OmaymaHammami]

Hi Rachel, just wanted you to know how I love your videos so much. I am here since 2020 and you are literally my favorite content creator. You inspire me so much and your videos are so soothing for the soul. Just thank you 🤍

[@racheltalbott]

@@OmaymaHammami this means so much to me. I’m so happy you enjoy this content. Sending so much love 💕

[@Anitas_edit]

The things I love nowadays are all inspired from you. I have been following you since you were living in apartment. Your videos are so calming and relaxing. My all the hobbies like gardening, knitting, DIYs are all sparked by you. I have always dreamed of living like you. ❤

[@katyboyack6745]

So relaxing. I love these tips too.

[@cupcake50jh]

I love keeping lists for office agenda and home indoor - summer I add outdoor chores it makes life easier.

[@silethaking279]

My most faves while doing chores…Audibles and Podcast!❤️😊

[@therealsoutherngarden]

Love, inspires me to get my home in check tonight💚🌸

[@andreia1631]

Same! I may need to rewatch this tonight so I can tackle the couch full of laundry lol

[@therealsoutherngarden]

@ I totally relate!!💚

[@racheltalbott]

ugh. The laundry is so hard. It seems never ending..

[@myhopefilleddays2923]

I started making sourdough bread last May and have LOVED it!!! It just smells heavenly and tastes SO good! I love giving a loaf to family and friends 💕 You are right, there is a level of joyful pride that comes with bread making 🍞 Side note: I named my starter “May” and it makes me smile 😊

[@ajadegirl]

your clean house and overall video inspires me to move my body and get my place together. thank u Rachel

[@paulahatcher150]

Love this video!!

[@racheltalbott]

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@TaylorandLucasGarcia]

Great tips ❤

[@ЮлияСитникова-щ1ы]

So comforting and peaceful to start the day watching your new video ❤ I love all of them and your beautiful family! A big hug from Italy ✨️🫶😘

[@rachellinebaugh6163]

I do a weekly fridge/freezer/pantry restock/re-organize/reset every Thursday! That is my grocery shopping day! I also take lids off of everything in my fridge and wipe down the lid and underneath and around the inside/outside of the container/jar/bottle. It means that nothing is crusty or sticky or hard to open.

[@blahblahblue55]

I tried out sourdough the last few months and it has been so much fun. I've done breads, bagels, English muffins, pizza dough. It's work but all the compliments from the family keep me at it. So much fun! I'm starting to learn that I can tweak things to make them work for me and my schedule, long ferment in fridge vs. Shorter ferment in warm spot. It's interesting to see how different recipes can be for the same thing.

[@takingthistime]

Really interested in hearing more about your homeschooling routine

[@racheltalbott]

I have two other videos I've posted this year where I discuss a bit more about it.

[@allypeterson414]

I always forget to like and comment (hello, adhd 😂) but I’ve been a long-time subscriber and I absolutely love your content every time! We’re around the same age, so as you and your content has grown and changed my life has changed as well. It’s always been so inspiring, but now more than ever!

[@racheltalbott]

That's so sweet to hear! Thank you for the kind words. 💕 We follow each other on instagram, right? I enjoy seeing your posts as well. We have so much in common.

[@espeilbe7504]

Would love a step by step on sour dough bread! Xo to all your content. Thanks for your inspiration!

[@stephaniemendez5006]

Such a beautiful home 🏡 😚🐶🐱👨‍👩‍👦‍👦

[@racheltalbott]

Thank you!! I'm so thankful!

[@aissamun6381]

Hi can you a video about homeschooling. Why you chose it and how is it going for the kids so far.

[@racheltalbott]

@@aissamun6381 Hey there! I have a few I’ve posted on the topic over the last few weeks if you scroll down my page. I talk about why, and I also share the routine we started with.

[@Pachinko1]

I like the fridge ideas you shared especially FIFO. I struggle in this area so I will try it 😊

[@racheltalbott]

It’s so helpful for keeping things organized!

[@headintheclouds2196]

Hi. New to your channel. I'm so glad I came across your video. 🍄🍄

[@EE-hi4re]

5:55 I love that you were homeschooled

[@neldamachado2721]

Wonderful video very inspiring ! I noticed that beautiful copper stockpot and was wondering if you could guide me to where I could find one ? I have a small stove and that would work beauty. I’m excited to see more of your videos ! 🤍

[@racheltalbott]

Hi there. Thank you! That copper was as very generous gift. It's from Sertodo Copper. They do beautiful work.

[@musicalmedli]

Do you ever do day in the life videos?

[@reenameher8756]

I love all your videos. Really inspiring ❤. Can you please share the dining table link as I am looking for a round extendable one for my home. Love from Ohio 💕

[@racheltalbott]

@@reenameher8756 Certainly. 💕 Here you go: amzn.to/42Fu8b2

Thank you!! ​@@racheltalbott

[@crazycatlady820]

Rachel, do you have a Bluesky account? Also, where did you get that cute light above your chalkboard?

[@jponiros]

Thanks for another great video. I was wondering what you like to use to hand wash your dishes. I’m trying to fine a better alternative to sponges. Thanks!

[@racheltalbott]

@@jponiros I recently found a biodegradable scrub daddy, made from coconut. I really like those.

[@jponiros]

Thanks I’ll look for that

[@LashChronicles]

Great video! Doesn’t it drive you nuts when you’re cleaning the fridge and the “door open” chime keeps sounding? It stresses me out every time I deep clean the fridge and/or the freezer LOL

[@racheltalbott]

@@LashChronicles omg! Yeees!! I keep closing the door and reopening it haha

[@sunnyday_lemonbars]

it's not a big deal, just turn the alarm off. it'll reset once you close the door. no stress!

[@ania5038]

I need to deep clean the fridge lol been putting that off for way too long oops

[@linalina3006]

❤❤❤

[@scha7032]

I love these videos but I gotta ask, how do you keep your energy level up throughout the day/weekend to do so much around the house, on your own? I get so tired even before I could achieve half of this! 😣

[@racheltalbott]

@@scha7032 Maintaining energy throughout the day can be challenging, especially during certain times of my cycle. I find that self-care routines really help. Taking vitamins like B, D, and magnesium before bed makes a big difference. Staying hydrated and getting my heart rate up daily are also crucial. I can handle a full day of work by focusing on proper nutrition, hydration, and fueling my body well. However, I do take slower days if needed. I will just lay low and do the minimum until I’m feeling ready to tackle chores again.. I also have help with chores. My husband and kids help, but today they were doing the homeschool routine while I tackled some of the household chores.

[@scha7032]

@racheltalbott : Thank you for sharing your tips 🥰 I could definitely incorporate some vitamins into my daily intake. Lotsa love from Malaysia 🌹

[@unciaciapanca]

So you deep clean the fridge with a bit of dish soap and vinegar? I m not entirely satisfy with what I m doing at the moment so any tip from a chef is a blessing. Is cooking and keeping the kitchen tidy with a chef around somehow difficult?

[@racheltalbott]

Yeh. That's what I'm doing at the moment. I haven't found another combination I like better. I mostly just focus on making sure any spills, crumbs etc are clean and it's organized so I can see everything.

[@unciaciapanca]

@racheltalbott thanks! Your home looks always so organized and clean. You re doing a great job! I ve also realized that I Ve followed you since before you had children...maybe 10 years. Really loved to see you evolving and becoming who you are meant to be, but at the same time keeping your identity

[@linaberry90]

You should let it ferment a little longer and i think your loaf will come out perfect!

[@racheltalbott]

I think I was needing to wait a tad longer for the starter to peak. They are getting better and better each time. haha

[@joannaaaa5609]

[@racheltalbott]

@@joannaaaa5609 thank you! I appreciate you being here.

[@celesterizza519]

I miss the California ranch😩

[@racheltalbott]

⁠@@celesterizza519 aww. I know! It was so pretty and special. It was a lovely home, and we really enjoyed our time there. Tennessee is so gorgeous, and it’s a blessing to be in a paid off home. Financial freedom is honestly the best feeling ever. I wouldn’t trade that. I look forward to our future here, and we may end up building something custom down the line (I sure do miss that tub and sauna 😉🤭) but we’re content for now.

[@sarajohnson9030]

I loveeee this new house/content 😍

Are you still singing?

[@racheltalbott]

@@shannontaylor3256 Yes. :) I’m not gigging at the moment, but I will again soon. I’m focusing most of my energy on improving my piano playing & composition at the moment. I’m supposed to start some studio work back up in Feb.
