I'm the husband/dad/grandfather watching your videos and I am amazed and encouraged by your work ethic! Week after week I watch you truly manage your home and all that needs to happen in order for it to work. Watching your daughter working in the kitchen reminded me of the valuable education you are providing for all of your children. Everything that is being taught to and caught by them will prepare them for life in a way that will set them apart from many other families/children. Kudos to you and your husband on the life that you have provided for your family.

Watching your videos is better than a movie….I wish they could go on and on! Absolutely fantastic! Thank you ❤

I enjoy your videos very much. I am 73. I used to do many of the household chores you do. Loved to cook, sew, can, garden and enjoy my home/family.

I absolutely love that you subtlely left the background family noises in for this video ❤ My kiddos are no longer that young, and I love the stages we are in, but I can still hear the memory of all the young voices around my home; even while most of my sons sound like grown men and my daughter has moved out on her own. We have been blessed beyond measure ❤

Could you do a video series with your Daughter who helps you in the Kitchen, showing kids/young adults how to cook the old school way that you do? So many kids/young adults don't have those simple skills these days and it would be very educational for them to "get back to basics", instead of relying on the microwave or delivery services like GrubHub etc., when they have to get their own meals. 🙂

I was admiring all of the different photos in your videos and it struck me that it must take so much time to setup the camera to get close-ups, far shots, etc. Your commitment has not gone unnoticed as your videos are always beautiful and well done. I love when your little one was standing at the counter eyeing the lemon loaf!! ha, ha. What a cutie.

Just made mint chip ice cream last night! I steep 2 cups mint in a cup of heated cream for an hour, strain it and then use it in the recipe. I love it!

This reminds me of an old movie it warms my heart to see all your family in the video doing what they do naturally.Thank you for sharing real life.❤️

My goodness, has it been5 years, since I followed you! Oh my time sure does fly by! As always I love when you share you and your family’s lives. Always find it therapeutic! I love how I learn different things from your videos as well! Thank you very much, Lisa!

Oh man that shot of jumping into the pond. . .I wanted to take part in it too! Thanks for showing more meals and coziness.

Your kiddos are so blessed to have such a normal childhood ❤

Love seeing your children around. Brings back memories of my boys and their friends,(who were always at our house) and my own childhood with 6 siblings and the families of the neighborhood. Wish I could go back and start it all over again with my boys! I would change so much, knowing what I know now . Plus it would be awesome if I had you to be my mentor and inspiration!!! We didn’t have internet or cell phone back then. So appreciate your content and videos Lisa! Brings peace and joy to my day! Thank you💓

Strawberry 🍓 goes well with balsamic vinegar or even basil 🌿 😊

Victor and his sweet smile and laughter! I love your vlogs ❤️❤️

Wow 😮 here the monsoon (rainy season) has started in India but seeing your vlogs transports me right back to summer. That mint chocolate chip ice cream looks delicious natural and no color added. Every time I learn something new from ur channel.

Lisa ❤ your videos are beautifully done. They bring me so much peace thank you ❤

I love the fact that y’all were able to restore one of the cottages! Happy Friday!

Such a beautiful life and thank you for sharing such beautiful scenery and wisdom with us, Lisa! All you do inspires me in my home and my new baby KZfaq channel haha Thanks so much ❤😊

I appreciate these videos SO MUCH!! I’ve been following your channel for 2 years (since I was pregnant with my first baby) and you’ve inspired me so much along the way and filled me with hope for the future with more kids ❤ Thank you for sharing these ❤❤❤

Love to see kids playing outside! Yummy looking food! God bless your precious family! 😀❤️

Your channel is just the best. I come here to feel relaxed rested comforted and encouraged. Your channel helps me find the motivation to do stuff whether that be cooking baking cleaning or even just basic self care tasks that I struggle to find the energy to do. So thank you keep being you. You are awesome.

Love your French Braid! You're the first KZfaqr I found years ago.

Loved the actual sounds of your home in the background. Lovely video.

Happy Summer!!!🌻🌞 Thank you for sharing ur sunny days in the garden, Kitchen w/ delicious food. Kids jumping into the water was classic summer fun!❤️🥰💋🫶🏻

I am always amazed at how warm it seems to be where you live... Our top temperature this year has been 20 degree Celsius (68 F) apart from one day in April. Greetings from the north of Germany, and thank you for your inspiring videos!

Lisa I love all your videos. I also am curious about your checkered skirt and your wrap dress maybe you can share a video about them or where you purchased them. They look so cute on you. Love seeing the kids and hearing them my kids are 22 and 17 so it brings back such fond memories. Great Job!!

Loved your video today! Your lemon bread and that peach chicken dish looked sooo delicious! And the herb butter, I'm definitely going to make some!😊❤❤❤

Love getting glimpses of the littles being cute farm kids.

You are an amazing cook. I can tell without ever eating your food. Thanks for the recipes and your creative ideas to use all of the food available.

Oh goodness.. your son holding the chicken brings back the best memories of when my son was young🥹 By the time he was 10 he'd helped his dad build 9 coops, had 2 incubators in his bedroom🥴 and a large bitty box. He raised chickens and would go to the livestock auction almost every sturdy saturday night to sell, sometimes he'd buy different breeds. Rhode Island Reds and Black Americanas were the ones he raised to sell, but he had a different breeds. We also had 2 pet roosters & 6 pet chickens the just ran around the yard. We were in the woods on 40+acres with 3ponds, so he was definitely a "hunting, fishing, pond swimming, animal loving boy" growing up! In the summer he and his cousins & friends could be found at the big pond fishing til it got way to hot, then you'd find them in the middle of it! I think all little boys should at least experience that kind of country life! His friends loved being there and would come stay most every weekend..There were always a crowd any given weekend! Your boys are too cute! I love the metal piece you've made into a pool for them! I love a lemon flavored bread or cake, always loved my sisters made from scratch lemon pound cake with a light glaze. Your little one Peeking over the table at the cake..too cute😄 It Looks Delicious! The creek jumping looks like a blast😁 The T-bones were looking real tasty too! Have A blessed weekend!😊

Hi Guys! Love you channel. Love your way of life. Your kids are adorable. Your oldest is going to be just like her Mama and Beautiful. It must be so satisyfing to teaching your kids the values and skills you have as a Mother in this fast paced life we know of it, and see your kids live on the tranditions you as there mother are teaching them life's necessities as they grow into adults. Oh' boy does that chicken look so YUMMY! my mouth is watering just looking at it. . Such a good cook Mama. Have a great weekend. Peace Love GOD BLESS your beautiful Family. ❤❤❤💙💙💙🤟🤟🤟🙏🙏 XXXXOOO

Lisa, The cottage roof looks great and fits in well with your homestead. Your peach chicken looks delicious, and your daughters mint chocolate chip ice cream looks so decadent! Love your video! ❤

Just a little tidbit for you. To keep your Brown Sugar from getting moisture within the container, you have it in, put a half a slice of bread on top of the brown sugar and you will never have a problem again I noticed when you were shopping at Costco. You mentioned that you did not want a large container of brown sugar because of the moisture issue. Good luck. I love your shows.

We grew up swimming in a horse trough, and we Loved it! So many fun memories.💙

Love watching your videos. Wonderful to have your children around to help each other and you. The new roof on the cottage is very nice. Hope you will get the insulation done soon. ❤

Oh my! So much good food! What an ideal life.

You have the absolute perfect life…PERFECT!!! Just adore watching your family and listen to your soothing voice!!! ❤

The giggling baby!! ❤️❤️

You have quite a wonderful household going on there!! Delicious food, beautiful children and you are creating fabulous memories for your children!!

Your videos provide for me, a much needed calmness and hope for the future.

I’ve finally mastered a basic sourdough loaf and I feel so accomplished lol! I’m ready to start experimenting with it and that lemon loaf sounds like the perfect thing to try😃

I left a comment yesterday but for some reason, I don't see it today. Anyway, I enjoy your videos very much and have been watching for a long time. Blessings to all of you! 💙💙💙💙

Lovely video Lisa. Victor is so adorable ☺️. Happy Father’s Day to Luke!🕊️

Its so refreshing to see family working and playing together! Love how you make everything look so easy! Hugs from Ca!

Your peach chicken is one of our absolute favorites! We make it all the time.

Lovely video as always Lisa .....so beautiful and inspiring to watch you and your family thank you.

Yes Lisa, I would put all your herbs in that window box by your kitchen window. How slick to just open your kitchen window and grab😊 Lovely video!

Lovely video as always. Your kitchen creations just ooze summertime magic 😉

wow that lemon loaf looked absolutely amazing! I love fresh basil, and summer fruits as well. We are in Winter here in Australia, it's so cold.

🧡 Pure Summer Delight 🧡

Love the new roof, would love a metal roof!❤

HAPPY FRIDAY Lisa, family, fur babies, and feathered friends. Thanks for all the good food, tips, and ideas. ENJOY YOUR WEEKEND! STTB

Love the culinary herb garden. Thank you for sharing your life.

Love you videos, you are one talented lady!

Such a good video Lisa as they all are thank you.

Another great video. I love your grey polka dot dress 🥰

Everything is soooo beautiful 😍❤

❤ everything you make looks sooo good 😊

All the food looks delicious!

We have found a new summer salad favourite, a peach, blueberry salad with feta, pickled onion and nuts. With the onions it doesn't really need a dressing but sometimes I add a bit of apple cider vinagrette. Served with sweet and spicy grilled chicken and homemade baguette and you have a perfect summer meal. I've started experimenting with my sourdough discard sandwich bread recipe. The one with rye mixed in turned out great. Now I just pulled a spelt variation with seeds out of the oven. And for regular sourdough bread I have started to add in some rye as well. Somehow doing that makes for a better result when I make it. Still kind of new to the sourdough.

On simple syrups- if you haven’t tried rosemary syrup in a latte, it’s worth a try, it’s SO good! I think even better than lavender!

Lisa, you don’t want to grow edibles close to your old house due to likely soil contamination from the old lead pain that was used on the house. Keep your edible plants in a separate safe garden area.

Good team work mom and daughter ❤

Thank you for sharing this it was amazing, I hope God bless you and your family ✨ thanks again

hey girl- love the video! 😀 such yummy food😋 Great job Lisa👍 Y'all have a blessed weekend🥰

Loved to hear your tip on growing sage, about it coming back every year; got some this year but grew them in pots indoors but they could have grown better, relocating them to pots along with another pot with lavender outside, and look forward to them growing well.

I love adding freshly chopped mint to my fruit salad. I melon ball cantaloupe, honeydew, add halved strawberries, red grapes and kiwi drizzle with honey. So good. I’m from the Bay Area and I used to get this exact fruit salad from a very famous place in Berkeley CA in the summertime ❤

I could watch your videos (you and your family, the scenery, the music) every day ❤ You are, by far, my favorite! Please keep them coming 😊

Your cooking looks sweet and the kids playing outside are so cute ❤Love your channel 😍

Oh the herb butter sounds amazing and I have the herbs. Also will be trying the lemon bread sounds delicious.

Hi Lisa. I really enjoyed watching you use your herbs in so many ways. I always enjoy mine as well. I’m going to try your herb butter. It looked so delicious. Hope you and your family have a wonderful Summer. 😃

I love the drone footage!!!

Just beautiful

Thanks Lisa for sharing these delicious recipes. God bless your beautiful family❤

My kids LOVE lavender simple syrup. We did strawberry tops and lavender the last time we made it and they love it in a glass of milk.

Love your channel, Manchester UK 🇬🇧 ❤

Lavender lattes - that sounds delicious! Can you share that recipe with us when you make it? ♥

Thank you ❤

Amazing Lisa. The lemon bread looks so good. I know I'd love that. I hope you will show cottage when you finish it. I love how your daughter makes ice cream a lot. I loved seeing those babies climbing trees and playing in water. Great kids! Great parents.

I have that exact brand of ice cream maker and I love it

We have the same trough that we filled with water for the kids to play in. ❤

OMG! Just saw the peach chicken 2 days ago. Made it yesterday! Literally was the best thing ever. Thanks so much!

Amazing mommy❤

Looked yummy

The drone footage😍😍😍 I am in love that was so beautiful!!!!

We love herb butter as well

I rub my herbs outside fresh so great ❤I love your soft heartwarming videos we didn't have secadas in our part of Tennessee😊

Hi, Your video is so relaxing for me😊, love it, your family, and your kids are so sweet! God bless you!

You look so trim and in great shape! Thanks for a motivating video 🤗.

Another stunning video 👏 love your content

That steak sizzling on the black iron and the creamy herb butter!! Oh yeah!

Always love your videos! Your sourdough chocolate chip cookie recipe from your blog is a favorite here - and I make them gluten and dairy free. ☺️ I will have to try the lemon bread! We make a delicious dairy free mint chocolate chip ice cream with cans of cold coconut milk, maple syrup, one avocado, peppermint essential oil, and chocolate chips. Such a fun treat!! Thanks for inspiring me! ❤️

I remember summers by the ice cream we obsessed over making each year. This year is a strawberry ice cream year for us :) I do have great memories of summers full of mint ice cream too.

The herb butter looks delicious. I may have to try that!

The dress your daughter is wearing is so beautiful! Would you mind sharing where you got it?

You could also add the lavender syrup to lemonade 🍋

I have chocolate mint in my garden and I swear it taste just like mint chocolate chips

You are truly blessed. I wish women embrace the importance of a stay-at-home mom. I tear up watching your video. When my husband and I were starting a family, I didn't want to stay home. I wanted to pursue my career. After many arguments, I finally have in because I saw how my priorities were destroying my family. Now my family is grown up, and I'm glad my husband didn't give up. It was a privilege to service my family. Enjoy every moment. I wish I could go back and do it all over again.

We make a lavender ice cream. I heat it in cream and let it sit until cool amd steeped. Strain it and make ice cream. I also love lavender cake with lemon icing or lemon cake and lavender icing. Using fresh herbs in desserts just adds something special. Salads are amazing with fresh herbs. Basil steeped in sweet oil is awesome for ear aches that always happen during summer swimming with the grandbabies. Just place some on cottonball and put in ear. Infused water is also such a summer treat with all the fresh herbs available.
