Beautiful Summertime Homemaking 

This is literally my dream! I’m 29 & I’ve been praying to become a wife, mother, & homemaker. I know that the Lord has this for me in my future and I’ve been so encouraged by seeing women actually show joy in their lives being homemakers. I’ve started learning and working in my skills so I’ll be ready when the time comes and I’ve enjoyed the journey so far! So many in my generation & younger look at me crazy when I say that I want this life. Yes I have multiple degrees, yes I like my job in higher Ed, but I’m living my plan B right now; if marriage doesn’t happen for me, I will live the life I have now. But being single, child-free, with a career isn’t my dream, it’s not my plan A, it’s just a reality of my current circumstances and I think it’s more than ok to want to be home and cultivate a home and care for your family. It’s a necessary lifestyle that is just as important as being a career woman.

I love that you go barefoot everywhere on your homestead! That’s so cute! Can not wait for this new baby to come💕 we’re pregnant with baby #5 and we’re so excited!

An example of a true homemaker, BAREFOOT AND PREGNANT. And please take that as the highest compliment.

Lisa, You have inspired me so much with your videos and website over the years. I have learned so much, but I have never commented. So today I want to tell you that you are a true inspiration for homemaking and motherhood and creativity. I am in my 60s now and have already raised my children, homeschooled them for a time, and was a special needs teacher for many years as well. My favorite job of all is being a mom, grandmother and homemaker! I am a widow now and I live alone, but have my grown children nearby and my grandsons come visit a lot. I cook with them and gleen so much from your ideas. I have a small garden, einkorn sourdough in the fridge and many of your inpirations all around me. I also run some air bnb rentals on the side. I have enjoyed your cottage, organization and decor ideas. I just want to take time to thank you for sharing your ideas and lifestyle and especially all of your cooking tips. Your efforts are so appreciated! You are making a difference in this world. God bless you and your family as you welcome your 8th beautiful baby soon. -Donna

Theodore, the little table dancing munchkin!! So stinkin’ cute!!

Wow mama how on earth do you manage it all! My youngest of 6 kids is now 7 and I swore never ever again! Haha I just want to encourage you and edify you to let you know you are amazing, a super warrior mom, an encouragement to many! Nobody will EVER know the endurance of a preg mama of many until theyve actually been there. I KNOW those last weeks are horrendous. I pray you have help and are able to give yourself the grace you deserve. Aweeeee big hugs!!! (been watching for years feel I know you 😂❤)

This is what I dearly wish I had learnt growing up. Ha ha I’m pretty sure we’re around the same age, but sometimes I like to imagine I’m your daughter watching you cook and keep house, just absorbing it all. Thanks Lisa 💜

I've been a homemaker for many years. The other day I thought how wonderful it is to have a place to make lovely for your family. It does not matter if how big or small your family is, it's nice to create a cozy place. Thank you for your terrific video. Blessings to you as to prepare for your new baby.

There is just something about "peeking in" to see what's going on at the Bass Farmhouse that feels like stepping back in time. A simple, comforting, and welcoming moment...thanks for that Lisa. God bless!

I love all of your videos, but really love several of your latest so much! Very warm, inviting, and cozy. You are the Queen of Sourdough for sure Lisa. Thank you for sharing your antique finds.

Thank you for making videos I can sip my morning coffee watching and feel inspired to tasks at hand. Today I paused half way to mow, lightly clean and finished up with 2 hours until I have to leave for work. My babies are adults now, their childhood passes in the blink of an eye, so I love to have a home they come back to for rest, recharging and something special prepared to nourish them made with love. ❤

Joshua Weismann is so funny and a brilliant chef. Your home always looks so beautiful and relaxing. Theo’s little sun bonnet looked so cute on him. Tfs Lisa, praying for a safe delivery of baby 👦 ❤🇮🇪🙏

I find using sourdough straight from the fridge very convenient during Summer. I feed it, put it in the fridge and it still rises on a slower pace because the weather is so warm. That way I don't have to worry about using it before it is over fermented. I loved this beautiful homemaking day in your cozy home! ❤

Ok, I don't normally rewatch YT videos, but I have watched this so many times. It's relaxing, aesthetic, and I pick up on something different every time I rewatch it!

That blue and white gingham dress is adorable, and matches your apron !❤️

I follow so many of your friends Lisa and I have to admit, I wish I could have been a fly on the wall when they all visited. I so wish you had all recorded some of your time together but then again, I'm glad you all took a break, together, away from filming all the time and filling yourselves to give back to all of us. Love hearing about it just the same.

Lisa, you have so many amazing talents! I couldn't do half of what you do in a day. 😮 Even when I was younger, I did not have your kind of energy. Bravo!! ❤

It’s nice seeing your daughter help you with the cooking and your other children pitching in

A sourdough cookbook coming!! Sign me up! That sounds amazing! I am obsessed with your blog recipes.❤

Thank you very much. Watching your video I realized that this is all I always wanted, to be a mom and a homemaker with a happy family and big farm house full of life, little babies and love... Young people like you give me hope!

Your flower arrangement is exquisite. We are all looking forward to your new baby. Please get some rest NOW. ❤

🌸Love the breezy feeling of your home inside and out! Thanks for the encouragement to savor the long summer days! 🌸

I can not believe it is almost time for your new little one! So excited. Very beautiful video. 😊

Theo is adorable! I hope during the day you are able to put your feet up for a bit! Your home is beautiful & I love watching you cook. Always looks yummy & nourishes!😊

So inspiring and beautiful! I am thankful that you share the beauty of motherhood and homemaking and homeschooling! Most our children are adults. I have one teenager left. When I was in the thick of it like you there just wasn’t anything out there to encourage and enlighten homemakers. You have upped my game and helped me to make my home beautiful just where it is. Take care!

I’m just impressed that your energy isn’t waning in these last few weeks of pregnancy….when I was that level of pregnant with my last 2 kids (I have 5), I was sooooo exhausted. Hope you are taking it a little easier and taking some time to rest!

Your pregnancy feels like it’s flew in! Excited for yous :) we are pregnant with baby number 3, I got pregnant 3 months postpartum with my son, so they are almost going to be Irish twins! I’ll have my hands full 😅❤

Your baby is adorable Lisa 😊 prayers for a safe labor and delivery big hugs 😊❤

I so enjoyed your video Lisa and how you cook. My mom never measured anything. She came straight from Italy at age 27. Straight off the farm in Italy to a farm in America. She couldn’t read or write English but she could cook, garden, can and knit, sew and crochet without patterns. She would count the stitches on a doily and do it. I still have a set of homemade knitting needles she made out of a clothes hanger. You remind me so much of my mom,😊

21 months apart was our favorite spacing-we have 3 girls all 21 months apart. There’s Over 2 years between our son and the first girl, which we always found was too long for us! Our youngest is exactly Theo’s age- doing just the same things you said he’s doing! So much fun!! Congratulations and prayers for a happy delivery ♥️

I know exactly what you mean about those annoying little jobs you have to do but keep putting off. I've just taken the bull by the horns and finished painting our vestibule and yes I can look at it now with a big grin on my face. 😀 Love your dress.

I can’t love your videos enough. ❤ They’re so calming as well as practical and informative. I especially love your sourdough videos. I’ve learned so much, and I thought I knew what I was doing with sourdough. 😊

I love that stage too of 18-24 months. I totally get it. my first two are 22 months apart and a lot of that time of my pregnancy between them is a blur since my toddler needed so much attention. Always enjoy watching you cook and bake!

You remind me of myself. Im in the beginning of my 3rd trimester (almost 30wks) I'm huge and ALWAYS barefoot. But I want to be more like you in homemaking. Im just getting started with sourdough. But ive been learning so much from you!

I love your channel and lifestyle. I have one daughter who just turned one. My question is how in the world do you have time to do everything you do and watch your little ones? I find myself rushing to do anything during nap times which is less and less these days. ❤

There goes all your roses. Oops, lol. (Boys and pruners)

I always pull my fed starter from the refrigerator (usually 3-4 days after feeding) and make my bread. Always rises and comes out wonderful!

You look like you move so peacefully and flawlessly through your day. A goal I strive for…At the moment I feel like I waste so much time trying to figure out what I should be doing.

I honestly don't know how you do it Lisa. You have a lovely home and family. Wishing you all the best in the delivery of your baby. I sure do hope you are getting enough rest. May God give you an easy delivery and a healthy baby boy!! Sending prayers from Nebraska for all to go well!!

Busy busy home!!! It certainly looks beautiful all the time. The sour dough bread looked delicious and the chicken pasta…. Oh my!!!!! Have a wonderful weekend. Summer is going fast!! God bless you and your family.

I vacuum out my drawers, then wipe… Easy!

Lisa...you are amazing. So much talent and with skill to match. Not to mention...so much energy! Your family is blessed to have you. I just saw your family photo ... really beautiful. Your husband and boys are so handsome. I love those cute little blonde boys. Your daughters look just like you. They are beautiful. God bless you and yours every day. Thank you for all that you share with us.

Lol I think this 9s called nesting. I was cleaning the bathroom floors an hour before my son was born.

I love all of your big baskets with lids! I can never seem to find any around my area that do not cost an arm and a leg. So excited for the new baby!!!❤

You did well pronouncing “Challah”! It looks amazing!

If your sourdough is anywhere near as good as what you can get in San Francisco then you my dear have struck gold. My mouth waters anytime you bake anything sourdough…wish I lived down the street, around the corner or over the river because nothing and I mean nothing is as good as fresh bread and butter shared with a friend…aka…me😊

Beautiful home , beautiful Mother , beautiful life !

Theo is the cutest video bomb! In that little pool, playing with the water hose, I’m dying here!!! 🥹 I love, love, love your videos that show days around the farm. I like one pot pasta meals also! That’s how I fix my spaghetti every single time. Instead of water I use a quart of my canned tomatoes or a container of V-8 juice. The noodles absorb all that delicious tomato flavor. Yummy! I also am not a purist when it comes to tricks that save me time and dishwashing! Your bread looks stunning! 🥖💕🙌🏻

Can’t wait for the cookbook!

Great antique finds. 😮

Just love all that you share with us! ❤

This was a lovely one.

Always enjoy your videos

Thanks for all these recipes! Your house is so nice!❤

I really enjoyed this video I love seeing the children. Your home like is wonderful. Can’t wait to see your new baby. You are so lucky to have a wonderful family.

What a great video - thank you as always!

Love the new hardware. Love you channel

Lisa! Your lunch sounds fabulous!!!! Ahhhh!

How are your chickens laying? It's so hot here in Oklahoma that it seems to slow our hens down!! ❤

Love Josh Weissman! There’s nothing like “b-roll” 😂 also the Cajun chicken and pasta looks amazing!

I love this video!!!

Glorious…absolutely glorious!!!! ❤❤❤

I really enjoy watching you cook! You make it look so effortless.

That is so true there is so much and different information on sour dough. It is so confusing sometimes. 😊 Theodore is so cute in that little pool.

Thank you for taking a moment to sit and “relax” on the porch swing!!!! You work so hard ❤

Getting excited for the baby. Take care and be blessed.😊

Love this content! Thank you for sharing. ❤

Just love your videos! You are giving your children riches that money can't buy!

Absolutely been loving watching. So much GOOD.....

HAPPY FRIDAY Lisa, family, and fur babies. SO Creative. STTB

Lovely visit. Thank you

Thanks for sharing your summertime day. Love the bread making and excited about your book. Your cut flowers were beautiful! Dinner looked really good. It was nice seeing your children helping out!

One-pot pasta dish looked delicious!

I love your kitten look’s just like my Sonny 😊❤❤❤❤

Love the pasta dish Lisa, will be try to make that. Have a lovely weekend ❤

That pasta looked great

Thanks for the Cajun pasta idea. I had a bunch of andouille I’d thawed and needed to use. My husband talked about grilling it but didn’t. I ALSO needed something I could throw together quickly before I left for work. So, I took the initiative and made a really tasty one skillet Cajun pasta. I am ALSO a fan of one skillet pastas and am not strict about authenticity. ;) My only complaint was I wished I had had some green bell pepper. Maybe next time. Thanks again!

You inspire me, I love your videos always look forward to the next one!!! Thank you❤

I love your home.

I just adore you! ❤

I love this video so much I’m going to watch it again. Your home is so beautiful and cozy. ❤️

Lisa - I always greatly enjoy your videos, but especially your encouragement of homemaking and homemakers. Thank you for sharing. ❤ xo

This video is so beautiful, I thank God for your influence on my life❤

Have a smooth and easy labor and delivery❤

You are amazing Lisa! I love your videos so much! ❤

Theo is adorable

Lisa this is a good one have you done voiceovers before and I knew you were going to pop up ❤ the other one was a little longer but good

I want you to know how much I adore every single video you post! I am so grateful that I found your channel!

This was such a fun video. Loved it.

If the fabric for this look covers is still in good condition? Perhaps. Try getting some? Fabric die and dip dying them to hide fading or stains.

I took a break to sit and watch this but you inspired me to listen while I gave bathroom a once over. Now back to my dehydrating process. Thank you

hey girl- loved the video! Such yummy food! That one pot pasta dish look amazing😀😉 I like to just throw stuff together like that a lot😁 Can't wait to see the new baby when he comes and hear what the what his name will be. Praying for you Lisa. Y'all have a wonderful weekend🥰

Thanks for another great video!

I love this kind of videos that you make ! So inspiring !
