I have never even thought about your voice - I watch your videos for your content. Your voice is calming and just fine!

[@MJ-wp6zs]

I actually like raspy voices! And good for you being thick skinned enough to let the comments roll off. Thats refreshing nowadays when so many people are so overly sensitive and seem to look for something to be offended by🤦‍♀️

[@annalisaromano-mazzani8147]

Haters gonna hate girl. Your voice is fine! Personally I watch your videos to learn 😊

[@cathylowery3478]

Me too

[@joannecomanic5940]

Me too !

[@robinbrown7953]

Idont think people being concerned about her voice makes them a hater…that label gets tossed around a lot on social media. I know there are some rude comments that im sure all youtubers get, and thats jot good, but showing concern, and occasionally disagreeing with something that is said or done…does not equal hate

[@annalisaromano-mazzani8147]

@@robinbrown7953 if you watched her videos for sometime you know she has address this a number of times. When someone teases a person or post hateful comments, it is in fact hate. If someone is concerned and they are coming from a place of love, they state it. My comment is addressing those with hateful comments. I didn't ask what you thought, I stated what I thought.

[@stephellis8624]

I can’t scream either

[@lauramitchell6725]

I’m glad that the comments don’t bother you because when a doctor or a nurse point out that something could be a symptom of something serious,they have probably seen it firsthand. (A good friend of mine had a raspy voice,no other symptoms,turned out to be throat cancer,22 hours in the operating room.) So glad yours is just a family thing.👍

[@Blueskies7775]

I freakin LOVE yours and your sisters voices! Everybody’s voice is unique and makes them the person they are, so NEVER give in to those miserable people who have nothing better to do than to complain about others… Ignore the miserable haters.

[@Coconutluxenaturals]

I bet these people questioning your voice wouldn't ask you if they heard you in the street. Unbelievable. Your voice is just fine. Xx

[@NatoshawithanO84]

But we’re not on the street, she’s narrating videos. As a nurse, I assumed she had pyloric stenosis. Her videos are excellent, but to pretend her voice doesn’t come across as extremely raspy is ridiculous.

[@Coconutluxenaturals]

@@NatoshawithanO84 rightio then nurse Natasha whatever you think. That's my opinion

[@africasun]

I looooove your voice! It’s relaxing to me! You rock it girl. Beautiful God given voice. 💕

[@ouroilyhouse]

Thank you so much!

[@kelseytillema641]

I totally agree! I love your voice. It is very relaxing!

[@meganwelty9420]

I agree

[@CatherineKelly-zz5ry]

OMG, Your voice is your voice I can't believe that's what people focus on with your great videos. I enjoy your videos!

[@GeorgeAnneOtto]

How gracious of you to explain to anyone who was concerned! I love your videos, and Farmhouse on Boone, Takes me back to when my son was little! I, too,loved making a home for my family. God Bless!

[@emilychapman4122]

You are not alone! My younger sister and I have always had raspy voices too. I can totally relate! Love your voice! 🥰

[@lisahall9226]

I love the uniqueness of your voice. Coming from the southern mountains of West Virginia I have had many people comment about my accent as I now live in the northern part of our state. I make NO apologies for who GOD created me to be! GOD makes no mistakes including us "just a bit different" gals! Blessings to you.

[@ImaOKay522]

You're adorable. Little girl on the playground couldn't scream, that is a sweet story! My sister is the same way. Great video 😊❤❤❤

[@ouroilyhouse]

Random memory 😉

[@milliehack6503]

Your videos are great - you and your sister Lisa have so much energy and cook 3 meals a day with your big families - love to watch you both !!! ❤️

[@cindylindsey7867]

I found your videos a week ago and find your voice, relaxed style and doing chores/life extremely comforting! And I’m old 😊

[@AxlezBubby]

I'm very PROUDLY another member of the husky voice club 😊. And it served me well as a cheerleader for many years. I used to say that my voice sounded like Melissa Ethridge at the end of a long concert after smoking a pack of filterless cigarettes and chewing on a little gravel 😂😂! I was adopted at birth and met my biological mother when I was 18. We laughed during the entire meeting because it sounded like only 1 person was having a 2 sided conversation because we had the exact same voice. Like you, I never had the high pitched girlie thing going on, but that would definitely not have served my personality!

[@danielles8712]

I can’t believe how much energy you always have particularly with little children. I wish I was as energetic and motivated to clean my house as you are 😊

[@stephencameron1709]

Wow you worked so hard Mama! Great job. Love your meal ideas. Your voice is not extreme anything. It’s beautiful! ❤️🙏🏻Val C

[@maryfreese280]

Everything looked delicious 😋 😊😊😊

[@cassiareece4310]

Great motivation-so needed it with how busy we have been with allll the things! Ty for keeping it real. I have 4 little boys and I know the struggle!

[@candycec908]

One of my precious little granddaughters has a similar rasp in her voice. I love it! It makes her unique and it really is charming. At five years old, she is also quite the communicator. I appreciate that you love homemaking for your family. I can imagine that they appreciate it too.

[@JannieMette]

I’m in a total mood for your videos these days so I’m binge watching all of them. Call me weird lol. When you started talking about the comments about your voice I just had to laugh. I am in the same boat as you and all my life have I had people making comments about it. I love listening to you and appreciate all the interesting things you share on this channel ❤

[@carolwhisenhunt7504]

Great video Laura. I love watching you cook. You come up with the greatest recipes. Your home is beautiful. Ty for sharing with us.

[@sherilynyoder8412]

Thank you so much for graciously addressing this personal topic! I was glad to hear about it.

[@jainey24-15]

You are such a hard worker, Laura. I enjoy your channel and reels and loved your graciousness today.

[@kathrynross1372]

I’ve always really liked your voice. You have a really relaxing presence and listening to you is always just a treat!

[@user-vh3tx8px8z]

Ok, I've always thought your voice was so cool! So sorry you keep getting so many annoying comments... And that apple pie and ice cream looks absolutely divine! Love your videos, thank you, Laura!

[@rosiedilks3764]

You probably heard this a thousand times by now so here is a thousand and one more, your voice is perfect and it is relaxing in my opinion. I recently started watching your sisters videos and happy to find you have one too. So grateful for y’all to share homemaking tips and ideas. By the way, that apple pie looks so delicious. All I would need is a dark corner and a spoon to devour it 😂.

[@brendadonabedian6324]

Your coffee table looks great. One thing my hubby did was put caster wheels on legs of mine so I can easily wheel it out of way to vacuum😊

[@themissdior1235]

Every time i watch you , you get me moving lol the times i have cleaned out a drawer or cleaned my bathroom after watching you clean. You are an inspiration . Thanks to you . I watched your last birth vid . Its so lovely to hear others experiences .When i had my children in hospital it was not encouraged to move around during birthing but that was many moons ago and thankfully things change. You are a great mum dont you forget it:)

[@sandras2479]

You are such a beautiful homemaker! I admire how much you love your home and taking care of your precious family ❤️

[@deborahhopkins7763]

I enjoyed this video so much! Your house is so pretty and very homey and cozy. Just the way a home should be.

Great video as always! You make it all look so easy. I am always inspired by you Laura. ❤

[@roszcutler9724]

Always enjoy watching and listening to your videos Laura.

[@debrasaints3809]

I love your voice! It really fits you. For the life of me I can’t understand how people can be so rude or just plain dumb. You’d think after listening to a few of your vlogs they’d realize that’s just the way you talk. You’re so sweet to take the time out to explain. I loved your cooking today. Thank you! You and Lisa are two of my most favorite vloggers. Sending blessings and love 🙏🏼❤️ Ps: I clean as I go, too! Great habit!

[@whitneyhoffman5749]

I wish people would just stop pointing things out. I absolutely love your voice and never once thought anything about it! Keep doing what you're doing! You're a lovely person and I love your videos. They actually motivate me to clean my home more often! Thank you!!!

[@pleabargn]

Oh, my goodness! When I was a little girl we lived in my grandma‘s house for a winter when she went south to stay with her sister. Those were the days when milk cartons were just being used and there was always wax in the milk from the sides of the carton. When we move to my grandma’s house, my uncle brought us milk every morning and it had a couple of inches of cream on the top. We hated the milk. It was thick and we liked the thin stuff we had in town. When we moved back to my hometown, we complained that the milk was too thin. Brings back warm memories.

[@LC-oi4um]

I am a HUGE LMNT fan too!!!! Kept my hypertension in check during pregnancy and helps my milk supply so much!!!!

[@tracys8497]

You have the kind of voice that kids want to come home to. Its very comforting.

[@susanrogers2073]

We each have our own voice. Having said that, since you addressed it for some viewers, I love listening to you in all regards. God Bless You, God Keep You, May His Face Shine Upon You and Above All Else, Give You Peace.🙏🏼

[@loriwhinery3210]

I’m glad you addressed your voice, I just thought you had nodes on your vocal chords, that’s what I sounded like when I did. I’m thankful you are ok. Your a good mom and wife. ❤️💜💙💖

[@donnahawkinsharper8344]

I absolutely adore your videos. Never even gave thought to your voice, oh well. You just keep doing what you’re doing. I am a retired teacher, mother of 5 & 9 grands. You are even an inspiration to me. Thank you for all the great meals that give me ideas. 😊❤😊🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@whitefamilyfarm]

I can completely relate to the voice conversation! I don’t have a raspy voice, but it has always been deeper. As a little girl, I was in a children’s choir, and the choir teacher said, “You have such a mature voice.” I thought it was a complement and was proud, but looking back, I realize it was because my voice was so low and deep. Deeper than the boys at that time. 😂 And, it’s also a genetic thing in my family. 🤷🏼‍♀️❤

[@russlaur5786]

Great video, you are an awesome mom!! Your voice is just perfect and I never even thought about it until this video. Those mini meat loaves are such a great idea, I will make them for my grandkids. Thanks for all the great ideas you have given me over the years ❤❤❤❤

[@melaniekauffman718]

I’m so proud of you for being ok with yourself and that you can keep making videos despite all those comments.👏🏻 God made you like He wanted and said it was good.☺️ that’s something I remind myself if little things bother me about myself.

[@audiologyproviderspc952]

Your voice is PERFECT! God chose it especially for YOU. Never thought about your voice even after watching dozens of your videos.😊

[@janeevans4758]

😂😂😂 Laura said it was genetic! Nothing to do with anyone choosing her to have a raspy voice 😂

[@florangelahinckley8455]

You inspire me to keep my house cleaned, I live in the forest and everything gets dusty specially after the very windy days

[@sarahreesnes8540]

Loved your story about yelling on the playground! I also enjoyed your matcha recipe. My hubby has recently been drinking matcha instead of coffee. Take care!

[@thewatcherandthefae]

So, i realize that this is an older video but u have to say this. I've been watching your videos while i prep everything for the day and your voice is putting me to sleep. I love your voice, it's incredibly soothing to me I have a super voice as well and i adore your content and your voice!

[@debrademedici864]

People are people , never thought about your voice bc it’s beautiful!!! I stay so focused on what your cooking, showing us !!! You , your family and home is just beautiful!!!!

[@Michelle_Westdam]

listening to your channel for the very first time (followed your sister for a while now)....and YOU TWO sound exactly the same!!!! yay! now I have two wonderful channels for inspiration!!!!!

[@kristenyaworsky6973]

I love your voice! I agree with the viewer’s comment above. I find it very relaxing. I also completely understand why you felt the need to address it. It must be extremely frustrating to hear the same comments it over and over again. I absolutely love your videos!!

[@bh4396]

I was cracking up when you shared about how you sounded Vs the other girls during grade school 😂 I love your sense of humor! Thanks for all the videos. I found Lisa first but happy to watch both and look forward to new videos every week! I live in CA and I’m trying to convince my husband we should come out and scope out Missouri.

[@tanyacouchman6534]

This is my first time here and I love all the recipes and cleaning tips. Can't wait to try the meat loaf patties; those look amazing. Love your channel and I will be back. I learned so much in just one video. By the way, you do an amazing job at being "YOU". Thank you

[@wondersofcrim]

Your voice is PERFECT! Its actually extremely soothing to me. ❤❤❤

[@juststoppingby390]

I've asked about your voice because you and Lisa sound similar. I actually love how you sound it's so warm and gentle. You both have such a comforting way about you. I love a nice brisket too so much flavour and you get a lot of meat for the money.

[@lynsmith2698]

Omgoodness really, I can’t believe people say that to you. I grew up with a brown spot in my eye and people were continually saying my eye was bleeding. Your voice makes you you as my eye makes me me. So glad it doesn’t bother you. We all need to embrace our individuality. Love your channel and you. 🇨🇦🌷

[@rachelgwynn2410]

We all love your voice and your videos!!

[@marierose214]

I love your voice . I have the same and my whole family as well. I’ve been told it’s a specific shape of larynx and the only downside to it is that sometimes you can have fatigue from talking.

[@shannonscheffel7366]

My first time on your channel. What a motivated woman you are! I feel like I accomplished something just watching you😂 I hope your family knows how blessed they are to have a mom/wife who serves them so well. P.S. until you mentioned it I didn't think a thing of your voice. People are so ridiculous, sheesh.

[@mariannetaylor4549]

That's so interesting! I actually hear the same quality in Lisa's voice! One day I was watching one of her videos and started wondering if you two were related because of your voices - and then she said you were her sister! 😂 Personally, I think it's awesome.

[@nunuallen4327]

I have a white refrigerator and the water dispenser gets so icky because of the hard water, it is the hardest thing to get clean. This is my first time watching, I enjoyed watching, thank you.

[@user-ml9dr1xv8z]

Dude, the topic of this video is SO funny bc I literally watch your videos JUST bc of your voice 😂 it’s so soothing… I work in such a fast-paced stressful environment and I LOVE cozying up at home and listening to you and watching you live this peaceful life that I only get to live in my dreams 😅 your voice is so relaxing

[@ElinoMilanesi]

What field is that, if you don't mind ? Medical ?

[@jademareeRG]

I have always loved the sound of your voice and find it soothing.

[@ncl-ibelieve8421]

You sound just fine. People always have unnecessary comments. Thanks for this video. Being a mom and wife is a lot of work but very rewarding. Blessings to you and your family.

[@healthylifeingredients6211]

I've always wondered about your voice but would never dare ask. I thought perhaps you had nodules on your vocal folds (like cheerleaders and singers get). I watch you and your sister and I'm always so impressed and envious how much you gals cook and keep up with your house. I'm a SAHM as well. My girls are older now (1 in college and 1 in HS). I'm not a lover of cooking but kinda grin and bare it, because that's the healthiest way to eat. You inspire me! Another fantastic video. Thanks Laura. Leslie in MD

[@jessicaweldy1403]

Yep,I have boys...totally understand!😄 I love your videos! A hilight for my Friday's🤗

[@rebeccaknudsen6190]

Lisa and you really have a great family resemblances. Love her channel as well. Thanks for sharing

[@katiestewart4020]

Yes, I can tell her and Lisa are sister by their voices. ❤

[@mamaea6129]

Your pie looks delicious! I definitely would like to get a icecream maker in the future. Thanks for sharing the one you have. Have a lovely weekend! 🧡

[@mgb5170]

You are a hard working, honest woman. I think you're great.

[@brendawingo6561]

For goodness sake just from a few post I've read something has been said about your voice. Hun please completely ignore negative comments. You are amazing and I've never noticed anything wrong with your voice. You are a beautiful hard working talented woman. So excited I found you. ❤

[@rusticgardenretreat4892]

I do the same thing with fruit when there is only a couple of them. If you don't want to use them in smoothies, you can just freeze them until you get enough to make some jam/jelly. I think I love fruit better than vegetables simply because they are easier to put up for storage be it canning or freezing.

[@teresamcneill5293]

I love your voice, and your sisters voice is almost the same!!! Really enjoyed finding out you have 2 other sisters and they have homestead channels!!!

[@pamelar5868]

Bless your heart for answering the question people apparently ask. Good grief!❤ 😮 Just wow!

[@lsolarin1]

I’ve never really noticed your voice. People can be so rude, when hiding behind a keyboard. I love your videos they are great. I always learn so much from you. Thank you so much 😊

[@elizabethshaklee8450]

My raspy voice is 100% genetic as well! My grandma, her sister, my Aunt, my Brother, and all 4 of my sisters all have a deep, raspy voice just like me. I used to get told I sound like a boy and that really hurt me as a kid, but my husband loves my voice and I love it too as an adult. I love yours and your sister’s voice because it makes me feel less alone! 🙌🏻❤️

[@tammysvegankitchen]

I love your voice!! I’m so happy I found your channel. Just started following lissas and. One I found you! I had no idea she had a sister with a large family too! You both are amazing!! ❤❤any of your other brothers or sisters have channels!?

Love your voice. ❤ you and your sister are my absolute favorite you tube channels.

[@harley8680]

You GO Laura! I love listening to you! Your humor cracks me up so much! Growing up, my mom had a little poem sign on the wall in the bathroom upstairs and part of it said: "If you sprinkle when you tinkle please be neat and wipe the seat!" ...I hope you have a great weekend and the VOICE HATERS go away!! They are the Harriet Olson's of the internet.

[@user-gl6dg9if4g]

[@KatinaMartinez-01]

I once got a comment on one of my videos that said that the person would rather cut off their ears, then listen to another one, my videos, because of my voice Over the years, I’ve gotten several nasty comments about my voice The first thing, I always think is then don’t watch my videos… But also, there’s nothing I can do about my voice it’s my voice !!! Bless your heart… Just found your channel and subscribed. Love your videos.!!!

[@corinnaprice6804]

I like your voice. It's very distinctive. I never thought there was something wrong. Glad you can laugh about it. Your videos and content is excellent. Please don't stop.

[@alyssarietveld]

I love your house and decor style! I recently learned this on another video, but if you mix vinegar and baking soda, chemically they cancel each other out and cleans only similar to how water would. Lots of Google articles explain it better :) New subscriber, excited to watch more videos!

[@hippiemommie]

Yes! Baking soda and vinegar react to form sodium acetate (a salt) in water and carbon dioxide (gas). The cleaning power is lost when you mix them.

[@melaniealison5889]

I personally love your voice!!! I learn so much from your videos!

[@beckybox2596]

I love the board and baton and fireplace and mantle. What a great homemaker you are!

[@kareneakers9540]

Of all the times I have watched your videos I haven’t even noticed your voice! So your voice is fine! Your apple pie and ice cream looked so very delicious! You are an amazing cook! Your hubby and children are very blessed to have you! God bless

[@AnaYT714]

Always really appreciate your authenticity, Laura. Love all your videos - among the best meal prep strategies I've seen and that have really helped me to "work smarter, not harder." I don't have a super large family, but doing things in large batches or in phases (ex: pre-made broth and pre-cut veggies, even if frozen) really helps me when dealing with disability issues. PS: I love your sweet voice and gentle spirit. 🙂

[@christinebullard2884]

I love your voice. It is pleasant to listen to. I'm glad that it's not a health problem, so it doesn't need to change.

[@ourbustedhomestead6188]

Great video, as always! I’m so glad you talked about your voice! Cool story! I’ve been watching you for years & always wondered if maybe you had something happen when you when you were a kid! So funny how we all assume things! I like your voice! My voice gets raspy sometimes! I’ve been told I have a whiskey voice 😂 It happens when I talk too much, or raise my voice too much! A house full of boys! 🤪 I love you & Lisa! Both of you are my go to for inspiration! ❤️ Love you & God Bless you all!

[@debpelton8399]

Just a quick question:what do you clean your wooden table with? I use olive oil, s little vinegar, lemon juice and water. Thanks deb

[@ReneeCarter-le4gd]

Personally your voice is one of the things I love about you! I like a raspy voice! So glad you don’t let ppl bother you bc it’s a major reason I could never do what you.

[@xmydearambellina]

It's so funny that you mention your voice, because your video was recommended to me (and now I'm following you), and I kept thinking "Gosh, her voice is so familiar!" and then you mentioned moose, and I was like "LISA HAS A SISTER! SHE SOUNDS LIKE LISA!" haha. I love your voice, and your videos.

[@EmeryShae]

My family is the same way with potatoes and carrots. Roasted is their favourite.
