Sweet of you to make him some meals. I love that your daughter wants to cook.

“That’s what that craziness was” No way! You are so sweet ❤❤❤

Try rolling items when you pack. They don’t wrinkle as much and take less space. I’ve become a roller when I travel.😊🇨🇦

I am a new follower of the oily house. Absolutely love it. I watch you and your sister Lisa on farmhouse on Boone every day.❤️❤️❤️

Can't say many people look good in a cream color but it is amazing on you. Love your choices, you have great taste.

Have a fabulous trip! 😊

What I do to avoid "onion tears" I place the onion in the freezer for about 10 no more than 12 minutes. Do not freeze. Take them out and you should be able to cut the onion without the tears. Love your videos.

Love your video, your the best! You and your sisters truly need to write a book about your family and who taught you all your different skills and the gifts you have! I believe it would be fascinating or……I want to talk to your mom🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I hope you had a wonderful visit to Utah! And I hope you weren't too cold. We really had a lovely October here so hopefully you experienced some of our great Fall weather. Nice that you and Lisa could spend tiime with your KZfaq friends. 😊

The best thing about that jacket you just got is the inside pockets! Great place to stash your phone & wallet, glasses, all kinds of good things.

I loved this. Your news clothes look great on you. Hope your trip was great.

Love your videos! Can I give you a tip about onions? I'm allergic to the juice and fumes of onions and cannot eat raw onions at all, but can eat them if they are cooked well enough. I tried every thinig I have ever heard of ways to keep from tearing up while chopping/slicing them. None of them worked! One day, I accidentally put an onion in the freezer while I was in a hurry to leave for an appointment. I just put the grocery bag full of frozen items in the freezer until I had more time to organize them, etc. That evening, I started looking for the onion to use in a recipe. I had ciouldn't find it, so I thought that it may have been in the bag with the frozen items. Sure enough, it was. I took the onion out and it was frozen solid. I let it thaw out a bit, maybe 10-15 minutes. By that time I had to get dinner started, so I sliced it in half and started chopping it up. After I was done, I realized that my eyes were not burning or watering at all. It was amazing! So now, I put my onions in the freezer about 20 minutes before I need them. I don't put them in there until I know I'm going to use them. I have learned that you do not have to freeze them solid for this to work. They need to be frozen enough to solidify the juice. That's what keeps the fumes from escaping and attacking our eyes. Once in awhile I will get a very strong onion or a large one that may require a few more minutes in the freezer, but this has helped me so much. I hope you will give this a try and that it will help you. Praying safe travels for you and your sweet baby, Have a great time! 💙

Can you please put your enchilada sauce recipe. We only have one type that you can buy here in Australia and it’s quite expensive so would like to make my own, particularly if you can freeze it. Thank you 😊

All of your meals look so good. The clothes you picked are so nice; love the colors. I live in So. Utah; nice days right now with chilly nights but not too bad so far; its a beautiful fall.. Hope you have a great trip to Utah.

Love your haul! All the turtlenecks and sweaters look great.

Thank you!!

PUT THE ONIONS IN THE FRIDGE!! they won't make you cry because being cold "solidifies" the onion oils so they don't splatter and make you cry.

You looked so happy and excited showing us your clothes, I loved it ❤ I wish we had something like this in Australia

Enjoyed.

Great vlog love your choice of clothing it really suits you 👍all those delicious meals too!🤩🥰have a lovely trip x

Sit your jar in the sink when your pouring your broth so spills are easier to clean

Lite a candle for the onion fumes 👌

Loved everything you did today including trying on the clothing. You and your sister Lisa are such nice girls and so easy to listen too. I could listen you to you both, all day long. Hope you have a wonderful trip, have fun and don’t worry about the family. They’ll be eating well,that’s for sure.

Enjoy your trip and being with like minded ladies💖🥰

Always look forward to watching your videos! ❤

Love all the clothes…super cute! Love the colors of each one. Can you just shop for me each season?!!! 😊

We used to live in Utah for 40 years and I miss it.

Awesomeness, Awesomeness ! Love watching you love on your family and friends.... also love your cleaning recipes. Blessings and have a super fun trip!❤

Yummy! I will be looking up that sloppy joe casserole. My husband always likes stuff like that. I hope you have a wonderful time on your trip! 🍁🍂🍁

HAPPY FRIDAY Laura, family, and fur baby. GOLLY GEE How thoughtful...SAFE TRAVELS; Hope you share your trip with us. STTB

I get such a kick out of you huffing and puffing quickly in an out of your clothes 😅Your sweet . I know exactly what you mean about feeling better by making food for your family before you leave . I used to do the same . Now we are almost empty nesters and I don’t cook much anymore .

THANK YOU

Enjoy your vacation 😊

Thanks for sharing your freezer meals with us, I really enjoyed it! I really like the turtle neck blouses you shared with us and the sweaters! God bless!

Love your videos! ❤

MUY LINDA ROPA LA COMODIDAD Y LO SENCILLO ES MAS😊❤👍

I Loove Madewell! One of my favorite stores to shop.🫶🏻 Cute outfits, Laura.🫶🏻

Laura if we have refuse we don’t to smell eg prawn/crab shells if you put in ziplock bag and put into freezer till rubbish day. ❤❤❤❤

Use grocery plastic bags, double them and put the scraps in them and tie tight. You will not have odor in your cans. Been doing this for years. Your new clothes are lovely. Your color palette suits you. Have fun on your trip. Be safe❤

You can never have too much onion or garlic seasoning on your food! And I do the same with my measuring spoons sometimes 🤣. I enjoy your channel ☺️

Enjoy your trip! Love the clothes you got🥰

Yummy meal choices to leave for your family. Cute clothes too😊

Great video and scrumptious meals! Can’t wait to see trip pics!!

Love your videos. FYI get yourself a kitchenaid food chopper, I have the 3.5 cup one, best thing ever to chop onions with. Saves a lot of tears, LOL.

Used your code and tried Thread Up, hope my purchase works out, thanks for the code and the video. Have fun on your trip.

The west is hot right now so would pack two tees to go with your sweaters.

Hi I read if you open a bottle of On Guard while you cut onions it helps. Don't know if this is true because I don't cut up the amount of onions you do but thought I'd pass that on :)

I just read that aluminum pans and foil are bad for your food to sit in……especially acid foods……now I just read that so someone may have more to say for yeah than nay. I put parchment paper as a barrier between food and foil….but that’s me your kitchen your technique. Even today if I’m going to be gone at dinner time something is made in instant pot or prepped dish for hubby when he comes home…..been making frozen pizzas and taco casseroles for back up…great meal….

You have a lot of cream sweaters. Go for other colours as well. What is your colour palette?🇨🇦

I love those colors of your sweaters. Can you tell me the brand of tge jeans you are wearing please. Thank You ♥️

How do you get smells/fragrances out of the used clothing? I love thrifted clothes but don’t buy them anymore because I can’t get the previous owner’s laundry smells or perfume smells out of the clothes. I’ve tried baking soda, vinegar, airing out in the sun, etc. Nothing helps and I’m super sensitive to smells so I just don’t bother anymore.

You are getting better at your videos all the time Laura! Btw...i have ugly feet w/bunions too. I think its hereditary. My grandmother had them too.

For reals, try feeding your bone leftovers from your broth, to your dog🤗!(or give to a friend's dog). Zero waste then. Since all the bones become mush when you pressure cook them, they become 100% safe for dogs! We do this for our dog and she loves it, she's only 25 pounds, no issues!. :)

Thanks for these freezer ideas!! Have fun and be safe on your trip!🙏💛🌻

Why do you add vinegar to a lot of your foods?

What brands are the jeans and turtleneck

Does anyone know how old her daughter is. How nice that she’s so happy to help out with the meals like she is. She’ll be a good cook and mom just like her own momma,I’m sure.

cute stuff but those jeans are too worn out already - the rippling of the fabric around the bottom of the fly is a sign they have been put in the dryer too much and the stretch is giving way/the fabric is worn out

Jesus I am such a failure of a mom. I have 1 child who's 8 months old & I'm so tired & wiped out I can't get anything important accomplished. I watch these videos of girls who are likely half my age with a ton of kids that do everything from scratch & have a farm & garden & on & on...they never fail to get everything done & are all super moms. Dear God it's got to be their age. Try this at 42, I promise your energy level will be different but I hope it won't.

I honestly wouldn’t consider Missouri the Midwest… 🤷‍♀️
