LOVED hearing your daughters' music!!

We love your cozy winter videos! You bring calm to our busy days and remind us that family life doesn't always have to be chaos - thank you! 😇

My husband is taking our boys skiing in February and I'll be home alone for a week. I immediately thought about decluttering!! No people under foot, no hungry mouths to feed and nobody to object to what I'm throwing away!! I can't wait...

Just a thought for you to consider. When storing your extra pillows and pillow covers, put them in a space bag and remove all the air. This will keep them fresher than just storing them on the floor of the closet. It also saves space. Also I would consider putting a small shelf in that closet to keep them off of the floor.

I love that black dress you are wearing! Looks pretty and comfy!

Your girls are becoming quite accomplished musicians! I love their music!

I have a friend who turned her closet under her steps into a quiet reading area. Put shelves in it for books and bean bags to lay on. Kids loved it!

I love her kitchen I saw a AD magazine article and it says more people are going back to white appliances because white doesn’t ding up or have finger prints like stainless steal appliances 😃 what a beautiful soul she is love this channel

What a blessing that your husband is able to help out with homeschooling.

Thank you for your encouraging words on winter

Your videos are so relaxing. Watching you pull everything together is an art. Blessings.

Great job young ladies! Love your videos your Family is beautiful

Thanks Lisa for this beautiful video and encouragement. I'm from Germany where days are equally dull and grey

Wonderful video Lisa. A light colored paint would brighten up the inside of the closet and make it easier to see things ☺️. The girls are amazing! 🎻🎸

I loved seeing some of the school part of your life. Thaw girls did a very good job.

I love the way Luke helps with school! What a neat family dynamic with homeschool 🥰

It is so so rewarding to explore cookbooks for inspiration. So often we try to find inspiration from memory and get frustrated and bored with our store of ideas or memories. We forget that other people or cultures can bring recipe ideas we would never have thought about in a lifetime of thinking. And also that’s where libraries come in. I love going to my library and grabbing a bunch of cookbooks and reading away! Ps Lisa! (And others) if you haven’t explored the moosewood cookbook please please do. It is vegetarian but I promise it is so your style and taste. The soups are 2nd to none.

I have to say, you do such a great job on your advertising Lisa! Very informative, and you actually make me want to buy the product 😂. But you do it in such a way that I don’t want to just skip past it. Great job! One day, I’ll have some Brook Linen! 😊

I’ve been thinking of sorting our under stairs cupboard for months now and after watching this I feel I have no more excuses (darn it!) We live in a 300 year old Georgian townhouse in Devon Uk and so the dark, foreboding places in our home really are dark and creepy 😂 Wish me luck, I’m gonna need it. Have a lovely day everyone and Lisa, your girls should start a band, they’re amazing and it was such a delight to see them having fun, the sweetest ☺️

I’m really loving the new vlog style format of these videos. Love seeing your family and your daily life. Love your old more educational style videos too but I think I’m enjoying the new ones even more.

May I suggest shelves at the back of closet? That will help organize the closet so you can easily see what’s there

These winter days have their own kind of beautiful! Lovely video!

There was an under-the-stairs closet just like yours in my childhood home. Among other things, my mom would hide wrapped Christmas presents there and forget about them! She’d remember them later! 😂

I love spending the day with you in your cozy, welcoming home.

🕊 Love the peaceful way you teach and share, Thank you!🕊

Your girls were soo good👏🏼

The girls did a great job!

Kudos to your young musicians! I am a professional musian and teacher and I really enjoyed the clip!

I think I’ve commented this before, but I just love your videos. They are so calming, and remind me of growing up in my grandmothers home that was an old over 100 year old barn, that had been converted to a house. It was magic, and I miss it so much sometimes in my neighborhood home that’s houses are like 20 feet apart from each other. There are some convenient things about where we live, but I’d trade those if I could to live out in the country again🤍

What a lovely video! I’d love for you to do an updated capsule wardrobe soon… I want that dress and apron! I’m always a fan of your minimalist style.

Your girls did a great job! I would love a quiet, cozy day at home. God bless y’all. 😀

I loved this! I always admire you and your family. Keep inspiring us!

Thank you for this vlog today. We have ice here in Southern Indiana so the Dr appointments were canceled. This gave me time to watch your video and work along with you. I washed up our linen bed sheets, cleaned the closet under the stairs and am now working on meatballs in gravy, mashed potatoes, and home grown/canned green beans for Supper.

Another fun pizza option is using fresh Rosemary, chicken and thin potatoes with fresh garlic!!! It’s amazing!

I love my linen sheets, too, and recently found out that linen is supposed to be healthier to sleep on and contribute to a better night's sleep!

I love Nigella too!

LOVE your long apron!

Perhaps you could build a simple shelve to keep pillows off the floor. Also, I would put inexpensive throw rugs on the floor to control the dust situation under there. It always feels good to do a good clear out.

I find myself coming back to your videos for sourdough recipes or ideas.

Hi there mom 😊 I would consider putting those pillows in the sun for a day just to get the humidity out of them from being on the floor for so long my dear.

Prairie homestead tomato soup is a favourite in our home, I add some sausages to it in the beginning when cooking the onions, and it makes it more of a meal and delicious!

I always love these videos. Was really nice seeing the girls do their music practice.

Love your content. Your voice is so tranquill and soothing. Love your creativity and your focus on home and family. Such a joy to watch.

Yes, we had a closet under the stairs that seemed to be a catch-all.

Wow, your daughters are fantastic! Love your channel, thank you for sharing your life and homestead with us. I really appreciate the calming vibe, while you get so much done in a day, and always in a lovely, quality way!

Love love love your videos Lisa. I’ve been watching your videos from the very first one you made. So relaxing to watch on a cozy winter day. Love from the UK 😊

Your girls sure can pick! That may be a violin but she’s fiddling if you ask me. Love it!

It would be great if you could also talk about how well your Brooklinen products wear over the years with use and multiple washings. I would love to try that high protein coffee idea! My naturopath recommended getting more protein and adding collagen powder to coffee, but the egg yolk and everything sounds even better. Thanks for sharing!

Thankyou Lisa for the reminder to actually sit down with a favorite recipe book *and* a notebook!

Loving these videos! So happy to see the linen love too. 2 years ago I started pursuing a goal to only use natural textiles in my home and it’s been slow moving but so rewarding. There is seriously nothing like flax linen bedding. And so many people are misinformed! Any time I talk about linen I hear “isn’t that heavy and uncomfortable?” And wool? Oh, wool is hated on so much! “It’s scratchy and hard to clean, you put your kids in that?” I just have to laugh it off and do my best to explain but not everyone does their best to listen 😂

It would be cool to either put drawers in the steps on the staircase, or maybe putting the on the side under the steps. It would give you more divided useful storage that you can manage easier and take up that awkward staircase space under there in the closet. Idk if you would want to do something like that to the original staircase but gives you something to think about if you want to use it more efficiently. Thanks for sharing Lisa! I have also made myself a family cookbook of our favorite dishes to remind me of some regulars that we love rather than going to all the cookbooks I have as well, I use those secondarily after I've looked thru our family cookbook.

I live in New Mexico and it has not felt like winter this year. We have been cold but that's it. No rain and no snow.

Amazing, amazing lady!!!!

I do a white and sweet potatoes cheese casserole. Grilled leftover meatloaf sandwiches are yummy. Mac and cheese using ziti and shrimp. Just ideas while watching.

Dumplings look great Lisa.

So proud that you home school. Not to mention all the other amazing things that you and your husband do for your children.

Fall & winter are my favorite seasons (I live in New England) My skin is so fair it is tough to be out for long despite sunscreen. I envy people who can spend hours in the sun. Anyway thank you for another wonderfully relaxing video. I now have Brooklinen sheets and they are fantastic.

Enjoyed this video. You are a busy woman!

Hi, Lisa! I liked how you cleaned up your closet! I actually enjoy doing those things, when I am in the right mood - - it feels so good afterward, doesn't it?! The only thing I would suggest, is getting a small organizer in there to put the items you want to keep on. That would help keep mold off of the pillows and organize the things you do want to keep, while keeping them off of the floor/ dampness, etc. Maybe like a cube organizer from Ikea? Something simple, but helpful...... anyway, great job! : ) Always enjoy a day on the farm with you guys!

hey girl- love the video! Such yummy food!😀😉😋 I so enjoy your videos- cooking and organizing. I love to see the kids in the videos to!!☺

I loved seeing your decluttering of the under-stairs closet.

loved loved seeing your daughters play.

Very nice, winter is a great time to purge closets and reorganize. Cooking with lard is interesting, my grandmother always cooked with leaf lard, especially when she made biscuits. It would be interesting to learn more about incorporating lard into one's cooking.

Omg!! That soup looks so delicious! A lot of flavor there. I make a similar soup with potato gnocchis and pork sausage. My family loves it! That may be on the menu this weekend. Us in Wisconsin are getting nuts with the cold. This week has basically been anywhere from 4- 16 degrees out! 🥶 But, we are headed to an indoor water park/ hotel this weekend so, we can pretend we are some place warm. Lol!

All the linens are gorgeous. The stuff of dreams, but no true homesteaders can afford them! Only those who dream of one day becoming a homesteader…😢

I completely identify with your sentiment on the awkward closet under the stairs. We grew up in a little federalist era house here in Vermont and had one on either end of the stairs . The bottom one was for our everyday coats and at the top Dad just kept his guitars and banjos .

I have the first two and fifth of those cookbooks. 🙂

Lisa, I love your videos. They are always so peaceful 😊Thanks for sharing a bit of your world with us

Is your black dress link-able? It's so pretty!

I loved this Lisa! Really Great content. Boy would I love that linen bundle. Thanks for sharing!

Love the sourdough dumplings you made for the soup.

Sheila in Chattanooga, TN here . . . I agree, it is so satisfying to clean out clutter, even hidden clutter. I collect recipes too. Here is one that my family always gets excited about . . . OUT OF THIS WORLD POTATOES-Ingredients: 10 Yukon Gold Potatoes, 3 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese, 2 sticks butter, 1 & 1/2 cups sour cream, 2 coarsely chopped onions and salt, pepper. Directions: Slice the potatoes into round thick slices about 1/4 inch thick. Cover them with water and heat to a slow boil. When they are done but still firm cool them immediately with cold water. If they over-cook they will be too mushy for the recipe. Chop the onion and put it in a bowl and cover it with hot water for a few minutes. Melt the butter and mix in the grated cheese and sour cream. Drain the water off of the raw chopped onion and add the onion to the cheese mixture. Season with salt & pepper. Gently fold the cheese mixture into the drained and cooled potatoes. Taste it to see if you added enough salt. Potatoes take a lot of salt. Put in a buttered casserole dish and bake at 350 until it is bubbling hot. This is a great side dish but you can add chunks of ham before baking to make it a main dish. I hope you will try it!

Have you thought about lighting in the closet? There are a bunch of hacks online on how to add lighting without having to wire it in. (Using battery operated light bulbs, etc) Great video!

I do enjoy your videos. Your relationship with your sister reminds me of mine.😊 You also inspired me to give sourdough a try again about a year ago. And use a baby wrap with my 4th.👍 We love putting carrot purée in our homemade Mac n cheese👍

oh that music!!! beautiful video, Lisa! I always enjoy these

I'm loving these cosy winter days videos.... So comforting, thank you Lisa

I so enjoy Nigella Lawson have all her cookbooks

This is my favorite

nice closet, you should put some shelves in it to help with storage.

the dumplings are amazing!

My old house had a deep closet..I put a small fee standing shelf to help me and I to purged …try it

It was so funny to see you with Jill Wingers cookbook...I have that one too. Love it.

Very nice video. Wow. Your girls are so musical! 🤩

I was just listening to your last podcast… Have you ever tried pumice stone for cleaning the hard water out of your toilet? They make specific toilet pumice stones or you can just buy the stones. That has been the only thing that has worked on my hard water stains!

Hi Lisa, I so admire you and Luke! What an awesome family! God Bless! Hugs! :)

Wow aren't they good! Clever girls

That stew looks so good. You make me feel so much better...I'm not the only one who has to reorganize lol lol

Good evening Farmhouse on Boone. I'm glad to see you're doing well. Love your choice of decor and your sense of aesthetic. Those sourdough dumplings look absolutely warm and delicious. Thanks for a tour of your cozy home and kitchen - and for sharing another great recipe.

Your dress is soo cute! Looks fabulous on you! Love the cut.

Love so much your cozy vibe ☺️💕

I love watching these winter time videos! I feel so accomplished when I tackle a closet or other neglected area. Other subscribers had fabulous creative ideas for that closet! Wish I had one!😉 Since you often mention your sister’s farm, will we ever go on a video field trip to visit? You and your sisters are all amazing business ladies and moms! Thank you!

Your daughters play so well!🎶

Happy Tuesday Lisa, family, and fur babies. OF course I LOVE your recipes. STTB

It’s truly the little things 🥰🫶🏾

Congratulations!!!

Oh, I Love that color on the sheets!👀🤎

Maybe some shelving in that closet would make it more useful to you.

Oh my you looked like a cute little Mennonite grandma with that black dress plain apron and black socks 🥰😊 Maybe built in shelves would help make that space under the closet more useful .

Thank you for all you teach us on your channel. Love your videos.

Great job girls!
