I am a 61 yr old single woman with an almost 40 yr old son. He is married with three children. I have never been a confident person due to childhood issues. However, watching your channel has given me the confidence to step out of my comfort zone and try things I have always wanted to. You will never regret being home with your children. May God continue to bless you.

In January, while in law school, I suffered a brain injury that prevents me from being able to work or return to school. At only 26, I felt useless because all I could do was be at home. One day I was praying to God about my pain. A little later, I came across your channel. I don’t have children, but I have learned the beauty of caring for a home, my husband, others, and being grateful for what I have due to watching your channel. My brain is slowly recovering 10 months later, and I must attribute my thankfulness to God for showing me His light in you. THANK YOU FOR YOUR POSITIVITY AND HONESTY !!

43yr old English housewife here who has watched since the very beginning! Most mums in our region have to work full time and homemakers are not valued here at all we're often judged as burdens/failures. Sharing your online community has made me feel less lonely over the years raising my kids and trying to make home a lovely place for them and my husband, it's given dignity to my hard work when I've felt low, and helped me persevere. Thanks so much for all your work and for being so encouraging.

It’s extremely encouraging for society to know that young women are watching you. We are coming off of 2 generations of women who were told that motherhood and home making are not valuable, or at least not as valuable as higher education and career. Look around, society is paying the price for that. We need mothers committed to MOTHERING and HOMEMAKING above everything else. God has sent Lisa to be one of those to lead the way in building our new, better society, one that prioritizes traditional families.

I am part of that younger demographic! I’m 24 with 2 daughters! I’m blessed to be able to stay home with them while my wonderful husband works to provide for us ❤️ Things have gotten really tight money wise but thanks to this page I’ve been able to get creative with how we utilize food! We aren’t able to afford the organic and pasture raised stuff but we use what we can afford! We are building up toward being self sufficient even though we know it’s a ways down the line! God had blessed us with our little family and it’s great to see other families living it up simply ❤️ I feel like the black sheep in every convo cause people will talk about their vacations they went on or party’s they went to and I’m just like “I made amazing sourdough banana bread” 😂

I have been watching you for 6 years and you have taught me things I didn’t even know I wanted to learn. You have helped me to be a better homemaker and appreciate my role. A lot of us young mothers thrown into the deep end have absolutely no idea what we’re doing so very grateful to have you Lisa 🥰

I’m a 78 yr old woman and I have watched every one of your videos. I get excited when a new one pops up. I’m thrilled for you and your family that you are able to have the life you dreamed of. Your hard work and determination are impressive to say the least.

I’m 74 years old. I homeschooled our daughter through high school and along the way became quite a devoted gardener and I preserve everything! I have learned so much from younger moms through RU-vid! You have made me quite the sourdough “expert,” and I now ferment everything with confidence, dehydrate and make many of my own medicinals. But most of all I want to thank you for your devotion to family, your genuineness in sharing what you’ve learned and your process. As you said we don’t suddenly become accomplished, rather we “do” and through the doing we learn. I love watching you and your family grow in so many ways,

Lisa, I’m 60 and mother of two. I wish 15/20 years ago I knew of all I have learned from your blog and videos. I was a professional photographer for 18 years and I thank you for all this info. You do a fabulous job in every aspect. I now work from home in another career. Separating out the get ready for work/commute time / buying work clothes and gas truly puts more money in our savings and gives me more time for my home and adult family. My husband and adult children are now used to walking in the door smelling sourdough bread in the oven, all home made meals, and just so much more that adds to the wonderful life we have. My daughter said, mom when I stop over tomorrow I do need more of your home made laundry detergent. I said, bring your container. I know this is long and u may not have the chance to read. Seeing my family’s reactions to things I do now verses what I never thought I could do years ago is so rewarding. I’m a 60 year old woman and the confidence level I have in my home making is equal to the confidence level I had at the top of my photography career. As in photography studios the competition is fierce. But, people only want to compete with and put down those who are at the top of their game. When I google farmhouse cooking you come up. Homestead living you come up. I thank you and wish you all the best life has to offer to you and your family.

I’m 68 years old this month and you are one of my top 2 RU-vid influencers that I watch constantly. I so appreciate watching young Christian families raising their children with good work ethics and less worldly influences! Keep up the good work!

Just FYI, I am 68 and get that sweet homey regret that I did not use my head when I was young. I love your channel. Also, I missed part of what you said watching that sweet little boy helping his father and hammering that nail all the way in!! Such a great part of the video seeing father and son working together and the patience that I saw!

Thank you so much for this video. I'm 24 yo with two children and a third on the way. My husband and I are living in a small appartment and are looking to buy our first house soon and my dream is to have enough space to be able to have a few chickens, a dairy cow, a little garden and space for our children to run freely. In the mean time I'm slowly learning different skills in the kitchen thanks to your channel and others on the internet. Your story is reviving my hope that this dream of mine might one day come to reality even though it sometimes feels like it will never happen. But for now I put my trust in the Lord and I also make a conscious effort every day to appreciate what we have now : a happy marriage, healthy children, enough food and money for our needs. I can not express how grateful I am that you shared your journey with us. Thank you so much ! You don't know how much this gives me hope. God bless you.

I’m a 76 year old woman who absolutely loves your channel and your way of life! I think a lot of young couples today don’t want all the “stuff” and just want exactly what you have and all the peace and serenity that just naturally comes with that lifestyle!! When your home revolves around God and all the good things that come from Him…it’s truly a beautiful thing to behold💜! Thank you for this beautiful video and I love your story💜!

I’m 19 and your podcast and RU-vid have brought me such inspiration, motivation and useful knowledge. My role model honestly.

I am in that younger demographic. 27 yrs old with 2 kiddos and talking about a 3rd. We live in an older home in the middle of town on about an acre. We have chickens and a 500 sq ft raised garden and 15 fruit trees! You have taught me so many things and inspired me so much! ❤ I am so thankful for your channel and blog. I sometimes want to start a blog but have no idea what it would be about, and it seems so saturated. Anyways, thankful for you. I am thankful you share your faith as well. I am trying to make sure the content I am consuming is wholesome and feeding me!

I’ve been watching your videos for about 6 months now. I started with newer ones and then went back and started binge watching some of your older videos. I just love them. You and your family are hard working and amazing😊. You have wonder family values that are these days. ❤ At 64, I know that some days are rough so I don’t fall into the group that thinks life is always easy for you. What I do see, is someone who lives life to the fullest and you give us such a gift sharing your way of life on the farm ❤

I am 48 with no children. I watch for the homesteading content and the from scratch cooking. I had tried sourdough a couple of times over the years and failed. You made it seem easy and less fussy and voila I've been successfully making sourdough for a couple years now. Your sourdough starter pizza crust is such a great life hack. You also taught me how to make sourdough bagels, which are amazing! Thank you for your beautiful videos,. I think it is wonderful that this channel supports your family of 10, what a blessing!

I am 76 years old and it really encourages me to know that so many of your viewers are the younger generation. I think it is so important that younger families learn the art of homemaking and cooking and baking. You do such a wonderful job of teaching and showing that you can through a healthy meal together for a young family. I have learned a lot about the art of sourdough from you. Thank you. 🥰

I can't believe how much Victor has grown ❤ Adorable

I’m 42, and I’m not 100% sure, but I think that’s older. But in the Lord’s sovereignty, I married late and had my children late. And though I’m currently stuck in the city, I do homeschool and teach with our co-op, we do Awana, and sourdough, fermenting, and do the best with where we’re at. Your channel has helped me not let go of our ultimate dream. And we resonate so much with your values. ❤❤❤❤

I admire your drive and dedication to bringing your dreams to fruition. Never stop pushing to reach your dreams. I’m a 58 year old Registered Nurse one semester away from obtaining my masters degree in Nursing Education. Most people my age are nearing retirement, I want to teach nursing students because nurses are definitely needed. Keep up the great work, I really enjoy your vlogs.

I’ve been a homemaker since I married 31 years ago. I homeschooled my 3 girls(now in their 20’s). I still garden,can, sew, raise chickens and bake from scratch, including bread. I love it that young women are pursuing this beautiful life ! The pendulum has swung in the right direction! ( I was an oddity in the 90’s)

Hello Lisa, I am a 61 year old divorced mom of 5, half of them are older than you are! I watch because like you, I am in Missouri and am in love with your home. I was so blessed to be able to be a stay at home mom and homemaker during most of my 32 year marriage. My heart was to homeschool but my husband was completely against it. I won't go into that, but being a homemaker and stay at home mother was a total blessing and a joy and I miss those days very much. I was a renegade gardening, organic food scratch cooking, home birthing, cloth diapering, breastfeeding, herbalist and homeopathic using earth mama weirdo back when it was so not trendy or cool. Later, beiing a single mom with teenagers and working full time in the corporate world to support them was the hardest part of my life. Getting to watch your vlogs is like having a bowl of homemade Mac n cheese. It's pure comfort food for my tired nostalgic empty nesting soul!

I love this so much. I’m loving all the comments too. I watch your channel because it reminds me where I have come from! I am about 16 years ahead of you with 8 children except I have 6 girls and 2 boys. I am now in the stage of mentoring adult children starting their own families while still raising kids that need my attention and intention everyday. You help me remember my “why”. Thank you. You are a good mama. I’m so happy you are mentoring a younger generation. Please know we are praying blessings over your family. ❤️So much love to you.

Beautiful story and beautiful family! All glory to God for blessing and leading your family. Hallelujah!

I am a 53-year-old empty nester and have been watching you for a long time. You inspired me to buy a sewing machine....to not overthink making things. I have been impressed by your humble and generous spirit for a long time. God Bless you and your family!

I started following you when you were in your other home. I am now 71 and a grandmother of 8 and I still learn from you. It was because of you I started sourdough. I started out making your biscuits and now make so many things with my sourdough. Thanks!!

I am 66 years old married woman with grown men and grandchildren I adore. You inspire me each and every video. One thing that has truly resonated with me that you said was we have more time than we ever did. So when you say you have no time you really do. We have so many convenience appliances thattake hours if hard work out of day. I don't take anyone of them for granted now. Thank you for all you share with us.

I am a 68 year old married woman who enjoys your channel very much. I love your calming voice and watching your children grow. Your children have so much life knowledge it is amazing. Great job. Thank you for sharing your life.

It’s so encouraging to hear you talk about the growth period of motherhood, of course we’re always growing. But I am 28 with two children 3 and 10mos I am growing in my ability to cook, my husband and I are learning to garden (we plan to eventually homestead). But the motivation to schedule and fill out time meaningfully is hard. Especially in this time when everything is trying to pull your attention to meaningless distractions. It’s a struggle but I am so encouraged by you channel. Thank you☺️

I just have to tell you that although your viewing demographic seems to be 10 years younger than you, I am 62 and absolutely love watching your content. Can I say, I'm even proud of you. What a beautiful example you are. Your lifestyle and your content are peaceful and something I long for as my generation has walked through decades that went from 0 to 60 mph in so many aspects of life. Our world has rapidly changed, yet you bring me back to a slower and more meaningful place. Thank you so much for that. I pray that you continue to share your experiences. Even at 63, I'm enjoying learning alone with you. God bless your family and homestead, your dreams and goals, and your business. 🍂 Connie

You are so inspiring ~ I'm a long-time watcher, I'm 71, never stop learning ~❤

I am 60 and I enjoy watching the old school way of family life that I wish I could have lived now looking back!

❤❤❤❤ this video is a beautiful story. Your children and grandchildren will cherish this record of how you both put this homestead together. ❤❤❤❤

I’m 71 years old and watch all your videos. I’m a great grandma of 2 and it makes me happy to see young women being happy taking care of their families. Not a lot of that going on now a days!

I’m 84 yrs. old & I love your video’s!!! Been there done that, & it’s like watching reruns!!!👏👏❤️

I am a 55 y/o woman who gratefully appreciates your channel and I am so excited to hear who your demographic is. Luckily we had home education when I was in school but there are so many children who were latchkey kids and missed all the education you are providing to them now. Thank you so much for your success and dedication to providing honest and educational content. Keep up the good work.

What an amazing lady you are, and im a 53 year old lady whom you are teaching, and giving pointer's to as well. I'm a new subscriber, and im elated to have found your channel. You should be so proud of yourself. I cannot wait to learn more.

As a 70 something your videos are like memories from the time we were raising our two children on seven acres. We had a large garden and did canning and freezing the produce. Great memories. Now, in town with a much smaller garden but still cooking from scratch. Keep up the superb videos. They are so appreciated.

I’m 29, turning 30 in a couple of weeks 🎉 and we have baby 3 on the way. You have been such an encouragement and inspiration to me! My husband and I are dreaming of moving to some land in the spring and hope to start a homestead (we will be taking it baby step by baby step). I appreciate how hard working you are. It really inspires me to think that we always have more capacity than we believe, especially for new things. We have a lovely home in town with a tiny yard currently which I am so grateful for, but my dream is to have space to let my kids loose outside each day. That would bring me so much joy! Praying many, many blessings to you and your family!! 🥰

Wow…you have all worked very very hard. Sometimes people think these things just fall into peoples laps but this is a direct result of lots of work and time and waiting! Thanks for your channel! I’m 49 btw and still learning too everyday!

I was the youngest of 9 children growing up in 1960s England. There was never enough money or food and that instilled in me the need to always be able to provide for my own family. When my 2 children were small, I was a full time mum and my cupboards, fridge and freezer were always full. Like you, I cooked from scratch every day, Bread, preserves, yoghurt, cakes and all meals were made in my tiny kitchen. Then 20 years ago, my husband and I split up and I had no choice but to work 40 hours per week to keep the roof over our heads. More and more processed food crept into our diet as I was so tired and overwhelmed and this is something I bitterly regret. Now I'm 60 and unable to work because of poor health, but my son and my beautiful 2 year old granddaughter have just moved in with me due to his partner leaving them. I found that I'd lost my confidence in the kitchen, but I'm determined to get back to my younger days when cooking was so satisfying and rewarding. My son is an amazing cook and I want to inspire my granddaughter to be able to always cook for herself using whatever is at hand. She loves helping me with simple tasks like whisking eggs, making pastry and anything else that doesn't involve heat or knives as she's not quite old enough yet. We've just sectioned off part of our small garden for her to grow some veg and it's people like you and Chelsea from LMR that are motivating me to ensure that she learns these valuable and essential life skills. The tide is turning against processed foods and while ready meals etc will always have their uses, today's youngsters need to know there are healthier, cheaper options to grabbing a lasagne off the supermarket shelf and putting it in the microwave. Thanks for the motivation, encouragement and honesty. Your videos make me feel so content, like I used to when I was a young mum knowing that I was providing my kids with the best I could. Ultimately, we're all just doing the best we can depending on our circumstances, but being armed with the right tools and knowledge will make life a lot easier.

54-year-old empty nester, but I thoroughly enjoy your lovely videos. Loving and caring for one’s family and home is universal at any age ❤️

I'm so thankful for your channel! I absolutely love watching Christian momma's doing what they do best- being home with their children and making an incredible life for them and their family. You truly are a Titus 2 woman!

Dear Lisa, I am a 60 y.o. nurse just south in Jefferson County, Mo. I am living a life similar to yours but let me say this: doing it right is defined at my age by making the effort of just doing it. Your stories are beautiful and I’m always inspired more by your ideas and life. I have a daughter your age and a 5 y.o. grandson. Focusing on family, faith, health and a safe place to call home is everything in this life. Thank you for sharing all this. You are truly a blessing on this platform and I always look forward to your posts. Blessings.

The beauty of what you are doing is that women at least have the choice now whereas in the past it didn’t matter what women wanted to do. We just needed to follow the path chosen for us. Having women come together to value what we bring to the table in our chosen paths makes me so happy for our future 😊

You are a Remarkable Woman Wife Mother and RU-vidr. Thank you ❤

43 yrs old and slowly adding a more natural way of life . In N.Y. loving all the things you do

I am a 56 yo wife and mom of 2 grown daughters. I was introduced to your channel a couple years ago. I have watched and enjoyed every single video you've posted. I have learned how to do many things from you Lisa, including sourdough. I love your story and purpose. Thank you.

I'm one of the olds watching and planning to start this journey as a single man in his early 40s. But do it I will, and you've helped keep me motivated. Thank you for that!

You and your content are ABSOLUTELY VITAL for this era 🙏❤️

What a beautiful story! Be grateful that your husband was on the same page with you I want to live in a beautiful farmhouse and start a new life and my husband wants to be in busy New York City

Hey, I'm a newbie to your channel. I'm 66 and loving your content. You are relaxing to listen to... And inspiring, even to an older lady like me. You give us hope that this world can still be a wonderful place. Bless you and yours. ☮️

I'm one of your older viewers.. 59. I raised 7 kids, cooking like you do. Making sourdough, baking bread daily, buying organic, etc. My kids are all grown and gone so I watch you for comfort, like a memory, if that makes sense. I truly settle in and enjoy your videos. ( your sister's channel too) ❤

Even those of us who are in your mother's demographic or older learn a lot from your channel.

It's so nice to see a wholesome, beautiful person share her experience with so many people. Your husband is lucky and I'm sure you feel the same way. I hope you continue to enjoy your life the way you have designed it.

I’m a 65 year old grandmother of 7 grandchildren ages 14 years to 1 1/2 years of age. I so wish you were around during my years of young motherhood of my two girls! I had daycares bring up my girls and always felt angry, overwhelmed and wanted to be the one bringing them up instead of a 4x4 cubicle in a large corporate office. I didn’t realize I had choices. I love your calm voice and your positive messages of being able to make it in the country! ❤ I say move out of the New England area! I grew up without family, so family means the world to me! I’m obsessed with your channel and listen constantly, loving watching your family and cooking ALL your recipes! Dianne R. God is good!!!

Great video! Life's our Story we write it good bad ugly right or wrong choices we can make it great or rotten but it's what we make it I love your Home your farm your Family awesome story and life it's beautiful❤😊

I haven't got very far in this video but I just want to say that it warms my heart so much that you have so many from a younger generation following you. I love that! There is hope that we will eventually get back to our roots and do life the way it was intended ❤🎉😊🙏

I’m a 42 old from Russia with 3 kids and I’m loving your content from times you lived on Boone!) the simplicity you bring when showing your life is so relaxing that it’s like a therapy every time!! Would love to live on a farmhouse but when retired. We have a house in a village and I love to come there every year and planning)

I first found farmhouse on Boone in 2019 when I was pregnant with my first and researching about cloth diapering. I love your videos, they are always so peaceful. Even though we have very different lives (I live in a very urban area, my kids go to school, etc) I feel like the core value is still shared - enjoying everyday life. The joy of cooking, baking, spending time with kids, etc. I agree with some other comments on here that its important that women have the choice now - I know a lot of great moms who have a career outside the home. I have been at home for two years with my kids now and have loved it. Its a better fit for me than my old job, but I am very grateful it was my choice to stay at home. I love that you and your husband both get to be at home and have this shared responsibility for the kids/home/business - what a blessing!

Da znas da i iz male države u Evropi imaš vjernu pratiteljicu,samo naprijed draga!❤

I'm in my 50's. I started watching your channel to learn how to finally make sourdough starter. I subscribed and am a regular viewer because I love your relaxed sense of style and your recipes. I also loved hearing about your home birth stories.

My respect to you and your husband. God bless you all all, beautiful and hardworking people.

Y'all created a beautiful life! I am so happy for y'all! Many blessings to y'all!

I am 72 years old and enjoy watching. I am learning a lot. Your cooking is fantastic!

I am an older, urban long time viewer. But I love your story, vibe, and kindness. Also learned so much from you. Also find your channel calming, joyful and practical. You have worked so hard for your success. You have inspired me to start a channel on my own passion projects (completely different topic than yours) but your blogging course was the jumpstart I needed. Thank you so very much!

I just found you and, pushing 70 here, I enjoy your videos so much! They remind me of my own childhood. The wonderful country kitchens, kids all around, farm life, the love of family. Keep it up, you’re definitely giving young folk a glimpse into how things were once upon a time. Warm wishes!! 💕

Simply beautiful.I'm 72 and I would have loved a larger property but it wasn't in the cards. That being said I still can, bake, garden and sew. We have 3 grown children , 10 grands and just recently were blessed with our first great grand. Live is good and is what you make it. Thank you for sharing your story !❤

What a great video. We don't see much of your husband, Luke, but its nice to see how busy he is around your home.

Thank you so much for sharing this! We are currently "homesteading" in our little suburban backyard, being content with what we have but excited for when we get to this point 🫶🏽 just shared a video of our little life ❤️

I am amazed at the number of younger women than me (75), follow you here in our small Texas ranching community. I love your cooking and decorating. Living a life I embrace, but still dreaming and enjoying yours, too. ❤️

God bless you and your family ❤️

I have been a fan since the beginning. I think you are fabulous, Lisa. Your videos with your beautiful family, bring such joy. Thank you.

37 yo here, from Moscow Russia, I’m living the big city life. Mom of 3 :) I just enjoy seeing your beautiful slow life. God bless you and your family, I’d love to hear more about your relationship with God

IM FLORENCE/how are you?IM new to your station/YOU are a great mom/mature/your family comes first/it should always be first/and I loe how you took vows so seriously/I love it/you cook/bake/clean/grow gardens/Your kidos have great respect for you and there dad/GOD BLESS YOU ALL/AMEN

You’re a wonder example to all of us. Love your videos. This world would be a better place if more women and men had your values. 🥰

I'm not part of your main demographic at 61, but I love your content. Being a wife and mother was always my main focus. I am retired now, but I always longed foe the life your family has created. Thank you for elevating homemaking and showing everyone how important it is.

59…I stumbled on your channel and am completely enamored! I love how authentically you and your husband are living your lives. Peace to you and your wonderful family.

You’re doing great! The lord is so proud of you! I pray blessings for you and your beautiful family!! ❤

At 51, I adore you and ❤ this video even more than usual!!! Hope the colds pass quickly and God bless all you built! See you soon ❤🙏🏻 Thank you for sharing your life ❤🙏🏻

I'm not your usual viewer in that I'm 70. I worked outside my home from five weeks after my first son was born (18 at that time). I also worked part time jobs since the age of 13. At 62 I had back surgery and worked on and off part time from then until I turned 66 and said enough! I have a large garden, can or freeze some of my crops. We got 9 chickens about 5 months ago and I'm trying to compose and hope to have a high tunnel and hot beds by next winter. I want to move as we can't have pigs or cows here. God bless y'all and keep growing.

Lisa! Your demographic is also older than 20/30’s you bring so much originality and confidence I enjoy your videos and honestly you do not have to explain anything just keep doing what you have been doing all along! Keep up the good work in being a mom, wife and educator, and truly simple life living is what it’s all about~ being content. Kudos!

Hi Lisa, I'm a 35 year old mother of a foster child from Germany. I love your content and find your story very inspirational, especially your approach to family, food and all things money and business. Thank you for doing what you do 🤍

You have taught me sourdough (still teaching because I’ve yet to make a successful loaf) and cooking from scratch. I strive for the cozy, natural, simple living, and having the knowledge that is long lost in our day and age. Thank you for sharing so much knowledge with us. ❤️

Absolutely love this story! It's incredibly inspiring to see how your big family thrives so close to nature. I'm always amazed at how you manage to find time for everything! Your content really resonates with me - it highlights that the best life is a simple one, even though 'simple' can be quite complex at times, right? 🌿👨‍👩‍👧‍👦💚

As a new subscriber, thank you for sharing your back story. I'm a 40+ stay at home mom, wife, homeschooler, Christian. I learn a lot from you. You will never regret staying home with your children and giving them this type of environment to grow up in.

Thank you for sharing this post. I have been following you for more than 3 yrs and 62 years old and learning along with you! Nice to remember the journey with you! Every journey begins with a dream you chose to have the courage to implement!

When you said you are normal humans 😅. I think you seem like a Superwoman to most of us, Lisa!! 😊

Great sharing... thanx. And as for your wish: packing up your kids and traveling. Why not do both? If you can find a good set of housesitters, then you can have extended fun. Also: traveling and being in other cultures makes the scooling even more amazing.

I am 67 and watch your show. I live in Missouri, as well, in Franklin County. I always thought you lived in Ohio. I watch your show because I am not very organized and you have accomplished to kind of life I have always wanted to live. I get inspiration from your decorating esthetic, and scratch cooking and your beautiful attitude towards life. Thank you for sharing all you do. God's blessings on you and your family.

I just turned 30 last week. My husband and I had our 4th baby in May (she is 7 months now) we also live the debt free life and are homeschooling. It has been challenging but so rewarding. He provides the house and I make the home. I get to spend all my time nursing and nurturing my little ones. The life God intended is most fulfilling. I'm content.

I was a ‘Homestead’ mom back in the day when homeschooling was brand new. I did many of the things you do. I wish at that time I had the opportunity to have a RU-vid channel specifically for journaling the memories. I miss those days.

Luke had a great helper nailing the boards! They will learn a lot from their Dad! Thank you for the Story of your beginnings!

Thank you for sharing your life with all the ups and downs. It’s an encouragement to many,

Thank you for this wonderful video. I am 64 and never miss your videos. Always learning something new and plan to continue doing that until I am dead!!!

I'm 28 with 2 year old snd 4 year old and one on the way homeschooling for 1 year and I cook from scratch but I live in the UK city my dream life is how you and your family live I hope one day God will bless me and my family with a homestead life

Lisa I found your RU-vid channel in 2017 when I was looking for a video on how to sew curtains for our new house. I clicked on your video about the bleached drop cloth curtains because it had the prettiest thumbnail. I had no idea what I was about to stumble upon, but you have truly changed my life! We were so similar in many ways but you were also showing how to make kefir and sourdough, which were things I knew some people made but didn’t know how. I’ve seen everyone single video of yours and of course you’re a family name around our house! I tell everyone about your blog and have sent countless videos and recipes of yours to others! I cannot thank you enough for sharing your life with all of us. God has used you as a modern Titus 2 and Proverbs 31 women to encourage and inspire all your viewers!

While I already knew much of your story, I still love hearing it. You are raising your children the way I would have liked but didn’t have the opportunity. You are so wise to raise them this way and to homeschool them. I haven’t always felt the way I do about home schooling. After my granddaughter told me about some of the things she is around and what she is exposed to in middle school, I have a totally different opinion of homeschooling. Children are exposed to so much bad stuff at a young age in this crazy world. You have a blessed life. Thanks for sharing your sorry.
