NO dishwasher, Baby #8 Update, and Staying Motivated When Depleted with Lisa from @FarmhouseonBoone

- Опубликовано: 2 июл 2024
- Lisa Bass is a mom of 7 (expecting #8 in July) who shares wholesome from scratch recipes, natural living, handmade projects and her simple life in their 1860s farmhouse. Blogging is her family’s full-time gig. She has a podcast called Simple Farmhouse Life where she shares the same thing, but in audio form what she shares on her blog and RUclips channel, Farmhouse on Boone. After the pandemic, she was known for her sourdough. She also does DIY, family recipes, sewing, and is a homeschool mom.
Listen today as we talk about how Lisa is preparing to add baby #8 to her family, her summer routines, handling a perfectionism mindset in parenting and homemaking, how to stay motivated when you feel depleted and homemaking systems that help make her home run smoothly. Lisa also talks about how they don’t own a dishwasher and why she thinks it’s easier to not have one. She loves wearing an apron and working in the kitchen. She enjoys cooking, trying new things and experimenting with recipes. Obviously her business relies on that too, so that makes it easier to stay motivated to be in the kitchen.

I totally thought I would go ‘downhill’ with each pregnancy, too, Katie! We are expecting our 8th in February and I want to attest that I truly feel like my pregnancies are getting BETTER! 🎉🤯 I’m 36 and we plan to let the Lord dictate how many children we have so I’m intrigued to see what this will look like, but so far, so good! I wanted to jump on to say this because I feel like many women expect a decline but I truly feel like the necessity of doing more children gives me energy! My diet has also improved over the years so that totally may play into it but I am grateful!! ❤
I have so much admiration for Lisa. She has kept her content so authentic and intriguing. She is so talented and always provides a sense of calm when you watch her videos, but still manages to keep things very real.
Two of my all time favorite mom's on RUclips. What a collab!
I agree!!
For sure!
Same!!!
Where do I find there RUclips channels these ladies are awesome
Been,
I love how Lisa couldn't exactly remember how she got through the early years because to me, it just proves that God does indeed carry you through different seasons! :)
I love finding big family community online. Our family and local community do not have large families. It's great to hear so many of the same ideals as we have. We are having our 6th and people keep saying we will need a bigger house ......we still have a bedroom we don't use because our kids don't want to split up! 😆😆
I had 7 easy wonderful pregnancies with no problems.
I love how the interview didn’t talk the whole time, you were so polite but you let her have her mic and her time.
Thank you beautiful ladies!!!! As a young mom i learned alot!
You ladies make motherhood look beautiful and worth it. Very rare in this age. God bless your work🙏
Thank you so much!
Realized that Lisa will probably be the only person I would love to see in my kitchen cooking. Agree with every tiny detail of how things are done in her house :)
It is so great to hear, young mothers , be confident to say that do what works for you, because I only learned that too late.
Lisa: “It always needs a mom wipe” 😂I’m the same way with my kitchen when my husband cleans! I always come in and do 5 more minutes of cleaning.
I’m so glad that she said that she has kids sleeping on the floor with extra mattresses in the house. We have a room above our 3 car garage with 4 beds in the boys room and space for 3 in the girls room (aka-plenty of room)…but the favorite place to sleep is on the floor in our room… 😂
Wow! Lisa, I can’t believe how I do most of the same things you do to run my household. Great interview!
Lisa... (not a word for word quote... we have good intentions, but then we plant the garden, and it's so nice outside, and then it's like, Oh, I guess we're done with school!
Thankyou, mama! I no longer feel guilty about this happening in our home!! Also, camping... done with the tent! I feel you!! 😂😂
Another thankyou for making me no longer feel guilty about not doing chore charts!! ❤
I know, I felt instant relief when I heard that. I had the same aha moment last week…”I guess we are done with school!” I can relate to Lisa’s laid-back attitude!
Such wise words from Lisa about how much control we have ❤
We were a family of 4 in 400sq ft until we built our new 600sq ft tiny home ❤we still want more kiddos God willing! My thoughts exactly why do people need a room per child???? Americans are a little silly, I like having my kids share rooms I did with my sister growing up and liked it just fine. We have acreage to spend time outside with the animals and I love having my family close, I think that’s what Americans are majorly missing today.
I liked having my own room growing up. I like alone time. Not everyone does though. I can’t with my 3 children since we only have 3 bedroom shared walls home with no yard in expensive Oregon. You don’t have to have each one have their own room. I would if I could. I’m sorry and please forgive me if this offends anyone.
@@youareworthalot1228don't apologize for having an opinion unless it's legitimately stupid. People are too sensitive and it's not anyone's job to coddle others.
I think its easier to have a smaller home if you have a bigger yard. Everyone needs their own space at times, but it doesn't necessarily have to be indoors.
I’m due with number 4 in July. Just got my newborn clothes ready and the pack of diapers and the birth supply list checked off, with about a week to my due date 🙌🏻 Enjoying this conversation! ☺️ I grew up in a double wide mobile home with 8 siblings so I can totally relate to your feelings on house sizes!
My 2 most favorite ladies to watch! What a treat!
Can NOT believe all you get accomplished in just 1 day. You are SO amazing ❣️❣️❣️
I love how different and awesome you both are. Big inspo !! Women supporting women is everything good about SAHM influencer space.
Not necessarily a chore chart but I think with some kids it's good to have a step by step(clean the bathroom, make a bed ect.) chart of what they need to do is helpful
I 100% agree on the ease of life without a dishwasher for the same reasons. I don't have time to wait on that thing.
Thanks ladies 🙏🏻 very inspirational to hear a little more about how you do it, Lisa!
Loved this collab!
nice conversation ladies. a few comments. not all have water and electricity to do laundry daily. also im often reminded how seeing no progress is also a time God made be (probably is) addressing the root system before the fruit and processing us in the darkroom. If that makes sense.
Such a fun podcast! The two of you have helped me so much!
This was so lovely! Thank you Mamas! x
Love both of you woman. So fun seeing you together ❤
Enjoy Lisa's channel so much. Thank you for sharing.
Two of my fav RUclips mommas! Excited to listen 😊
Loving how you guys work so differently and complement each other❤
So helpful! Thank you!!
People always asked my godfather how he afforded his family.
He was a faithful catholic and physicist and mathematician. He explained that the first child was the biggest shock.
The second doubles the time energy and expense. The third is nearly impossible because there is only two adults.
But after the 4th, fifth and 6th it isn't much difference at all! He reckoned 5% increase with each new one.
They had 13 children.
I've heard "1, to 2, to 3 are big changes, but 3, 10 all the same" haha
hey girl- Loved this talk!! Oh so cool!!😀😉
Great topic!
Wonderful conversation! :)
My due date is July 4th with my 3rd. Glad I found this collab!
I totally agree. Look at the il time you spend pre-washing the dishes. Like come on that’s wasted time. You girls are on point!!!!!! I’m new to your videos. 👍
I took my fourth baby away for the summer camping when she was 4 weeks old. Easy! Breast feeding and disposable diapers. She slept in a carriage.
YES to the apron links! Thank you! 😂 She has the cutest aprons.
Here you go :) www.amazon.com/shop/farmhouseonboone/list/SH97QVW6NJ24?ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ofs_mixed_d
ahhhh I absolutely LoVe watching both of you soooo much!!!
Wow, the apron advice was the best i have Heard in a while!!!
Right??
I'm with you on no dishwasher! I have not had one for about 5 years or so and don't miss it - and haven't owned a dryer since about 2009 - don't miss that either.
If anyone find out where she gets her aprons, let us know! 😂 Can’t wait to go listen to podcast the one on her channel. You guys are my top 2 favorite moms to learn from!
I believe Lisa makes her own as has a tutorial on her blog maybe?
I think she use to, but she said in the podcast that she bought her most recent ones from somewhere. Thank you though!

Great topics! I watched both of your channels today and they were both great!! I just want to say I tried chore charts, and giving my 7 year old an allowance, but it really felt like yes..it was hard to manage and keep up with it, but also they were not really chores, but responsibilities, things they need to be doung daily, should be doing, not for money or stickers or rewards, but to be a helpful contributing member of the home, so I decided I
wamted to make their lists more like my own. I ended up making them each a daily responsibilities chart, and if they did those they could maybe watch t.v. in the afternoon while I make dinner or those type of extra things. It's mostly basics like brush teeth, get dressed, make your bed, pick up toys, feed the dog, help with the chickens, clear the table etc. depending on their age, and its working really well, I use pictures for the younger kids, and they enjoy helping and being responsible too.
Thank you for the apron link 😉
So interesting about the kitchen cleaning and doing your knives as you go I do the same thing
My two faves!
Funny when you say ‘summer is so short’.. I live in northern Sweden, here you can talk about short summer but still I think it’s long because farther north is even shorter 😁 and also I love all the seasons so I don’t dread winter or anything. My summer starts in May but usually it’s not really ‘summer weather’ until June, July and then maybe half of August. And even then it’s around 75 mostly which is perfect for me ☺️
Ow nice. 2 great people in one video.
God bless you and your family. What an adventure! Your kids are going to love being close to family. Yes bittersweet, but good times ahead!
So what do you think about doing a video on setting up your seeing room?
You are so sweet and I love what you do. Your RUclips friend from Northern California.
Can you do a video on what you are going to do postpartum with the kids.
Two of my favorite moms on RUclips! I loved this collaboration. Thank you!
I would love to see a collab between you and Sarah Therese 😊❤️
Hobby lobby has 100% cotton thin tea towel like aprons that i JUST found in their spring collection thay they clearanced and i swiped one and oh wow so wonderful and not hot and bulky!!
The difference between hand wash and dishwasher is they are completely different systems. Completely different!
It is the same as the laundry. Always run it. Also those things you use constantly stay out and hand wash. And the apron/tea towel.
I use both systems concurrently and it stays cleaner easier.
Here in Brazil istn't commun to have a dishwasher. Eventhought, I have one and love it!
New subscriber. Happy to discover this channel. 😃
Amen! The LORD is in control! Yes we do our best, but He holds us all! We are all at His mercy, and I am sooooooooo thankful! ❤️ 🙏
Haha I grew up one of 10 kids and my parents built our house at 1700 ft.² and it felt big for all of us. 2400 would feel massive😅
I grew up in a small house with three siblings and even though we technically survived, at times it nearly drove me to insanity 😂
I struggle keeping up with the dishes. We don't use a dishwasher
I would love love love to see your home Lisa!! I decluttered tons but with our move and 5th baby, I feel like it's still cluttered!!
She has a house tour up on her channel 😊
@@RewiredforJoy thanks!!
Enjoyed you Both!!! Where is the apron link??
Here you go :) www.amazon.com/shop/farmhouseonboone/list/SH97QVW6NJ24?ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ofs_mixed_d
Americans need such big houses! So much stuff so need space to store it all! We have 4 kids and 970 sq ft, we don’t really need more but moving to a house to get a yard and stuff so we can have chickens etc. The new house is 1600 sq feet and it feels massive. Currently 3 bedrooms but could easily make it into 5 bedrooms. We have 3 now too but we use two to sleep in, we all like to sleep together. Our own rooms, nah. I need a hobby room for sewing and leather work etc, but during the days we’re outside or in the common living spaces.
My friend in the US said their house is so small and it’s pry at least 2000 and they have 3 kids.
I have the apron in my Amazon shopping cart 😂
Two of my example ladies
Hi Lisa, are your expectations really high on your children? Are you relaxed and happy when you are with them…especially in the kitchen? What kind of discipline do you use? Are you able to spend one on one time with each child…and playing with them? How do you teach each child to obey you? What do you use as consequences when your child has disobeyed you? Would be good to know how you respond when you feel really stretched…
I grew up in a family of eight children…I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way! And yes, I could write a book on our life growing up! ❤
at 22:00 i need to know what y'all do instead of a chore chart?! I am the same! I do well for a couple days but i cannot contain it!
Lol I’m same ! We just go with the flow !! If it needs to be done let’s all help out ❤❤❤
That's awesome that each pregnancy was good for her!! 5 kids later and each pregnancy was worse and worse with the last one being bed bound! It was horrible!
❤❤
We're all still waiting on those apron links!
The apron link is posted in the description :)
How do you record and not use screens with your children, I mean, I want to start a channel on RUclips but I don't use screens and I don't know when to record
I need advice. How would you go about this? My husband for whatever reason feels the need to clean no matter how clean our house is. Example, I can just mop the floors and it's clean. It feels clean and smells clean. The house feels cooler because it's clean haha. But as soon as he gets home from work he sweeps and mops. I've tried to explain how it makes me feel to him but he says he's just trying to help. I get upset and it's making me feel like nothing I do is ever good enough. He tries to hurry and wash dishes so I can't do them. He does it all except fold and put laundry away. I've asked others and I've just been told to get over it and I should feel blessed. But I feel like I'm useless. All I'm good for is birthing babies and nursing. I've tried explaining it like if I went to his job and just took over and redid everything and he just brushes it off. I'm feeling so unmotivated, useless, and it's now affecting the way I see him . This HURTS what can I do?
Ask him to give up or delegate a few of the tasks over to you so you feel involved and useful. You can say you want to be involved on the field playing too and not just sitting out on the bench. And that you'd like to work as a team so you can have your own role and participate too in this area. Maybe he feels like he has to do all those things to be valuable in the family. If so, you can thank him and show him appreciation so he doesn't feel he has to do everything to feel valuable.
No one I’ve seen my entire life has 8 kids they all have between 1-5. One grandma had 6 they tuned out 3 girls including my mother died from alcohol. The 4th girl is a car lady. The 5th divorced. The male not sure were he is. I don’t have kids. Not sure I want them. Any pain & suffering you cause your child God throws you back anyway next time around. Be careful you have the time for each one. Some parents feel guilty not helping them through college others treat them like farm animals who raise themshelves never having their own room or privacy. God will judge. Don’t say I will let God decide how many. Any one can take a gun and shoot a person in the head but that does not mean you do it. Europe now has laws that the child can sue a parent if the child does not like the way it was raised. One couple had just one boy & he ended up killing animals so they stopped having mor. Kid cost them so much in psych bills. Near death experiences say you will experience the kids pain & struggles there whole life then are born into abuse. Children are not play things. Some people have not gotten enough attention & fear being alone so they bri g others here to suffer with them then say it’s Gods will. There are people with a lot of kids there lives are bad. Some kids leave you & never come back
There is no way one person can do all that and social media. I am done with her and people who pretend they do this on their own, is irresponsible and 8 kids ?! You know those kids are not getting enough parenting. This is going the way of 19 kids and counting crap
The wonderful thing about a big family is that the kids always have friends and helpers :) I have 7 siblings myself and for myself having 4 kids it’s easier with more in my opinion. With the first I had to give him so much attention but with the second he could play with the first and I could do more work around the house :) I’ve also gotten more and more efficient with each kid and do way more now than I did before I had kids. They give me so much energy. ♥️
NO, NO, NO!!!
Appropriate you editing all the religious mumbo-jumbo she speaks out!!
I just found you through this podcast. So glad you were on here! 🤍
