Nyssa, you vlog all you want , I am so enjoying spending time with you , it’s fun seeing how someone else lives and you are so brave to open yourself up. Cindi
I personally enjoy the rambling, It is why I come to watch! Like talking with a friend! Great idea with the multiple days cut up into parts we would enjoy and not having to voice over! I also know fire season is coming I have already started sending rain vibes! I am here no matter what Nyssa but I do enjoy this style!
Loving these videos ❤ What you call squirreling is so endearing because it's the real you 😊😊😊 Nyssa girl whatever is easiest for you to vlog is such a treat 👍👏👏👏 Chocolate chips looking good 😊 As always a pleasure to watch 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Love from the UK x
I love just watching you doing stuff and chatting as you go, no matter if I’ve heard it before. Your videos feel cosy to me. Like I’m sitting down, watching a friend go about her life and chatting at the same time. I am loving vlogmas videos, I’d be happy to watch whatever you do in 2025.
I prefer this style of video. It's more like being there with you. I don't mind the rambling because it's more like you are personally talking to us while we are there with you. I tend to ramble myself.
You might think that you are being repetitive, but please remember your viewers don't mind. Not only because it is all new to us, but also because sometimes people are in a place to hear/remember what you say and sometimes they're not. If this vlogmas style of chatting and doing at the same time is working for you and taking you less time, then that is how you should go forward (at least with some videos). I think everybody loves your content and the presentation isn't as important as long as we feel like you're chatting with us! ❤
I truly like this format of video. Love the rambling and showing us “your life”. Great that Daryl is working on a project to get more money for the groceries. You never know about the prices anymore. Sending love to you and your family ❤
Hey Nyssa, another great vlog. I prefer you talking as you do your work. It feels more personal and more expressive. FYI: most of us don't give a toss about what your house or property looks like. We just enjoy your company. 😊🎉❤
Nyssa we applaud all of your time and patience and sharing all of your recipes, but oh my it makes me smile everytime your hubby has the hand input 😊 As much as we all enjoy your videos do be sure to take time for yourselves. 🎄👏👋🇦🇺
I just watch the vlog. Take what comes. If I was bored I would turn off. Yesterday you said something about rainy season. Had a giggle to myself as very aware of rain. Never thought of your area in torrential rain. One year we had 20 inches in 6 hours. Nothing felt dry for days. Going to look for those melt crafts , looks interesting.
we get flooded in occasionally, I think its mostly to do with being so dry the majority of the time when we do get decent downpours, there's nowhere for it to go!
You need to present your videos which ever way is most comfortable for you, what makes your videos work is how comfortable you are doing them! When you’re comfortable and at ease the videos will sell themselves, you’re doing a great job just don’t worry be yourself, that’s what I like about your videos, you don’t pretend to be something you aren’t, be yourself❤️
Hi Nyssa, you are such a lovely mother- your children are so fortunate. Thankyou for all the time & effort you put into your channel- you are followed & loved everywhere from Bundaberg to South Carolina!!!
I like both styles of videos but the real time blogs are my favorite. I'll be here either way. I like seeing real life people actually living their real life. That's what we get with you and why I watch.
I love listening to you ramble 😀 I really admire you making separate food for you and the kids I couldn’t be bothered with that! I’m enjoying the way you’re doing the vlogs just now. X
Nyssa do what works for you okay. You are the one putting in the time and the work and I enjoy watching and listening to you. I do like this style as I think you feel more comfortable with it rather than getting so stressed out over the voice overs. The kids' crafts are wonderful. Looks like being creative runs in the family. As far as making homemade chocolate chips I would have given up quickly on them. You stayed with them though.....amazing. Love your food videos though it makes me so hungry...yummy!
hi Nyssa, I enjoy watching your video's, your not fake, you dont try to be something your not, I also prefer it when you just talk in the video's not so much the voice overs, I wish you & your family a very happy & safe Christmas & happy new year......
I think this week with these long winded videos will give me an idea of how to reduce the talking too for our more regular videos! I can't do this length all the time hehe. But I think its doable now, with the new setup!
i love this style of content, but what ever you are comfortable doing , i am happy to watch, you are truly amazing at what you do, and i , when overwhelmed i always repeat to myself, progress over perfection xxx
Hi Nyssa, I am personally loving these daily blogs. I so look forward to your rambling 😂🤭 as you say. Plz continue, I must say it's my morning routine now to wake up and watch your video before I even start my day ♥️🌼
I LOVE your "pothanger" aka tongs through the handles and hung over the shelf, behind you! GENIUS!!! I look forward to ALL your content, Nyssa. Thank you.
They do tend to come out mostly when its humid and hot don't they, if I remember correctly they pupate underground and come to the surface ? So that would make sense when the weather and moisture is optimal for them to come out and sing in the trees!
I love all your videos and won't get tired if you post more. Have watched your vlogmas series religiously, so far. Merry Xmas and happy New Year from South Africa.😍
I'm loving this style of vlog, feels like we're actually there hanging out with you! I love all your videos though! Having to pop out each chocolate chip individually would have drove me nuts! 😆
I think I just wasn't aware of quantities I would use either, so there was some umming and ahhing about buying extra, should I or shouldn't I kinda thing at the time! I know a bit better our usage now!
It seems all the extra ingredients that have to be used for lowering carbs , would not be cost effective for the long haul maybe if it were just you and Darryl and not the kids but Nyssa you are working so hard to feed the kids and you and Darryl, I really hope this makes you both feel lots healthier and you both are successful. I admire you trying new things around the holiday , I don’t think I could. You are an amazing cook I would eat your cooking anytime. ❤Cindi
It is just for D and I, the kids I feed fairly normally, with a general mind for moderation etc :D. So yes, whilst more expensive in some ways we are also eating less overall I find, so there's some balance to it! :D
I have looked on amazon and iherb a few times and there's another brand choczero too! but shipping in this heat they'd prob not be choc chips by the time I got them hehe
@@OurSmallFootprint I did not think about the heat, maybe you can find a brand when doing your shopping , I think the cost of a bag of sugar free chips may out weigh your time to make them they were definitely has you would say fiddly. Have a lovely day , hope to see you tomorrow
I love the new format, love to hear the kids in the background, and when they show up in the kitchen to help. You and Darrell have the best sense of humor. You made my day!
It may feel like rambling to you, but I find that you are sharing a lot of good information, probably more than with the voiceovers 😀. I also find that it allows you to show more of your personality and sense of humor which is nice.
Wow, on the chocolate chips! Maybe you could make some up when the weather cools and store in the freezer for next Christmas. So much going on at your place. Thanks for sharing your wonderful life with us!
Hi Nissa. (Sorry if I misspelled your name) Wow. Love your rambling.!! Your kids have the best lifestyle. Congratulations to you and Darryl for your tenacity and courage with your lifestyle. Super envious. So much of what you do is reminiscent of my upbringing. ❤ You are giving your family the best life possible. You will have well rounded, happy and loving young adults. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Hello to the cute little munchkin that was waving hello. I love these style of videos and hope they are easier for you. It is like I am sitting at your kitchen bench while you cook dinner. As a I am on the spectrum and love to body double and I love when you repeat recipes, makes it easier for me to make them myself and to motivate me.
Surreal is into diamond paintings and I actually bought some small scale activities of it, coaster kits and stuff as well, for the other kids to try! :D. I think it might be a bit finicky for the small boys though. We do some gluing and building with popsicle sticks a lot and we do outside building with power tools under supervision too and they do enjoy that!
@ I’ve been making it without the cornflour and add an extra egg to help thicken it to lessen the carbs. I to love trifle so I’m looking forward to your locarb version.
@ I normally use gelatin if I’m avoiding the carbs, it can end up a little more mousse like, but that’s not a bad thing! Hehe. But I don’t use a thickener at all in the custards I freeze for the ninja creami either because they’re frozen so that works well!
You are doing great with your videos. Been watching your videos for a while. Also with what you are doing with what you make yourself and Darryl to eat it shows on you. You are looking good ❤❤❤
Hi Nyssa. Relatively new subscriber, 1st time commenting. I love your videos. I'm a wee Scottish granny, living in a housing association flat in rural Scotland. Your life is as far removed from mine as is possible to get but that's the idea of these videos isn't it; to see how other people live and what they do to get through the day. I cannot understand people who just come to these videos and feel the need to disrespect your life. They must be quite sad and disappointed folks. You live a real life, like the rest of us only with different circumstances. I personally could not cope with your Australian heat or living in the bush. I have a very irrational fear of ALL creepy crawlies and your native fauna so wouldn't last 5 minutes in your surroundings lol I'm loving the squirreling while filming, you're much more relaxed and just going with the flow. My house is full of flu right now and have been too poorly to concentrate on much of anything, so I'm having a wee binge session to catch up on all I've missed. Sending you love and hugs from a very cold and miserable Scotland x x
Thank you Alison! :D. Yes, the different way of life may not be something others would choose, but I don't really understand then why they get so negative about it, yes, you wouldn't choose to live this way (my mum always comments that when she comes to visit it feels like going back to when she was small and the way my Nana had to do things hehe) but that doesn't mean its 'wrong' :). People just have to have their say I guess :D I'm sorry you've got a house full of ick :S. nothing worse than when everyone feels crappy at the same time!
I think you’re way more patient than most and with the amount that you do in a day it’s not surprising you want things done and dusted - I know you were looking for people’s preferences but honestly I love whatever it is you put up and I know that doesn’t help much but that’s my honest opinion- since I found your vlogs I honestly do way more than I did (kitchen wise) and I was a cook/baker before I retired but you put me to shame 🤦♀️ I watch all the adverts because I think if you can take the time and e energy to do these videos then the least us viewers can do is watch every advert (I believe it helps ) and if people don’t like your garden etc then we all have a suggestion of what they can do 😂😂 I watch your vlogs with two of my grandchildren- the two youngest ones (8 and 10)- and they love it as much as I do - now that was a squirrel (said the 64 year old Scottish woman ) lol 💜
Thank you! I do reduce the ads in these long form vidos, sometimes they double them up and i always try and make sure they're singles! but I do appreciate you watching them and I do appreciate the income!
I love whatever format you choose! Oh my, you have the patience of a saint! There is no way I could do the chocolate chips! I'd make a block probably.....or not! Could you do an video on sour dough starter and what to look for, why it fails etc. Thanks for all the videos!
I did a pretty in depth one one sourdough starter a little while back, I haven't been using mine much because in this heat it sort of needs constant use but with only baking bread for the kids I'm going super easy yeasted stuff! ruclips.net/video/6B-OstdaQYI/видео.html
Surreal enjoys the diamond art, I actually bought her some tools and some more stuff for xmas for it, but the boys hand eye isn't quite there, or their attention span lol. Sonnet might like it too though, I bought some extras :D
I don’t mind if you do ramble, just enjoy watching your videos and the creations that the kids make, I do like the format of your videos this way, but do the amount and the way that works best for you, as you are very busy lady, and I will watch as many as you able to put out
You need to be on America’s Test Kitchen-Australia Style lol! You remind me of a culinary mad scientist! Loved watching/hearing your thought process in creating the Chocolate Chips! 😊
Also could you bring us along when you do your shopping list at home? Maybe we can see your pantry ect. I know you've shown us before but that sounds interesting to me! Your garden is fine. People are always going hate
I will try! I get a bit of flak over our food storage etc as well lol, because we have it scattered where we need it due to space and the kitchen still being in progress!
@OurSmallFootprint i see what you're saying. People need to understand you're in Australia off grid in a outside kitchen. I'd love to see those people do what you do for one day! Flak brings you more views and comments boots your channel. So if you could just ignore them it would make you more money lol. However it is so hard to ignore ignorance.
Maybe putting the chocolate mixture into a piping bag would easier to fill the chop mold. You'd be abl to squirt the mixture into each mold without dealing with the mess or waste.
Thats possible, and I know some people just make the chips by piping it directly onto a baking sheet, but this mixture ended up too runny to do that with, but into the moulds might work!
It is, less scheduling of typing notes, then having to film the notes etc etc. It will just be learning how to scale down the chat and the length of the videos when I go back to normal!
Nyssa, your videos are awesome and love your rambling as you say, it's so entertaining. Love the ornaments you make. You look like you have lost weight? Is your diet working for Darell? You are doing a great job with the kids. Take care. Happy holidays 😊
I haven't weighed myself since my last visit to mums because I tend to just check in there every 8 weeks, so I have no idea, I don't feel any different but who knows. Darryl has dropped considerable weight and cms though and is feeling a lot better.
Greetings from Alabama. My wife and I love your channel and your resourcefulness! Don’t listen to the Karen’s and stay strong! She is really eyeing the thermo mix and we are both impressed on how you have mastered it! Stay safe and keep them flowing! Garden looks good. Have gardening with Leon(RUclips) good resource for wicking tubs!
Gardening with Leon is awesome for the tubs! We're still trying to figure out what works for us and caging/protecting them! all a learning thing hehe. Thankyou!
We ran into cicadas on our vacation last summer. Odd fact, they are in a range my husband can’t hear😂 We don’t have cicadas here in Yuma.I think because it is too dry. I love any style and all of your vlogs.❤❤
I don’t have any helpful feedback about your videos! I love getting to watch your videos which ever way you choose to make them! To me it’s like getting a little visit with a Friend!
hehe, it was kinda annoying, but the results are so neat, I'm going to try popping them out more in bulk after being in the freezer today, that might help, but i will prob stick with bark and breaking it up lol.
I will try and remember to get a full body shot for you hehe, he's working on a conversion that he's trying to get finished before I go shopping next just to get that extra money in the account hehe.
Hehe the chocolate chips gave me nightmare flashback to when I did it for my son. He has a soy allergy and desperately wanted to try chocolate chips... cue several hours of tantrums later, and I can say that I've done it once but never again. I still made chocolate, but not choc chips lol. I was over the moon when I discovered Pana chocolate and I could just buy him chocolate. It's expensive, so he only gets it at easter, Christmas and his birthday
Supper looked delicious. You're a champ for making those fiddly chocolate chips! Are Lily's chocolate products (including chips) sold in Australia? I know those are a popular choice with Keto folks here in the U.S.
I do like this vlog format as well. Perhaps for your trifle, you can make angel food cake. Make the egg white bread that is all over the keto world, but add 1/4 cup allulose for color and texture, a bit of almond and vanilla flavor, and a couple drops of pure liquid sucralose (Amazon), I know that is not mentioned much in the keto/carnivore world because it is a questionable sweetener, but I don't like stevia or erythritol. And it did not spike my blood sugars. I also am sensitive to nuts so almond flour became an issue in baking. So the egg white bread/angel food cake became my go to for a baked sweet treat. You could use egg whites and not the powder just as easily, then you have the yokes left for your cream pudding. I sweetened that with sucralose as well. :)
I haven't tested out the different sweeteners on myself too much yet, we did have ice cream last night with allulose and it was so lovely but a bit too sweet, all the sweeteners have pros and cons everywhere for everyone, I think you just need to figure out what works for you! I did see the carnivore oopsie cake, I reckon that might be worth trying too!
Nyssa, you vlog all you want , I am so enjoying spending time with you , it’s fun seeing how someone else lives and you are so brave to open yourself up. Cindi

I am loving your new way of doing these video’s.
They are definitely in massive numbers here atm!
@@OurSmallFootprintIn the 19 years we’ve been here we haven’t seen or heard so many cicadas, they are deafening this year.

Yes, the different way of life may not be something others would choose, but I don't really understand then why they get so negative about it, yes, you wouldn't choose to live this way (my mum always comments that when she comes to visit it feels like going back to when she was small and the way my Nana had to do things hehe) but that doesn't mean its 'wrong' :). People just have to have their say I guess :D
I'm sorry you've got a house full of ick :S. nothing worse than when everyone feels crappy at the same time!
I’m loving these videos! I really enjoy the cauliflower rice fried in a pan with some soy sauce! It gives a nice flavor!
Oh, I haven't tried soy sauce, that would be really nice, I'll give that a go :D Thank you :D
I think you’re way more patient than most and with the amount that you do in a day it’s not surprising you want things done and dusted - I know you were looking for people’s preferences but honestly I love whatever it is you put up and I know that doesn’t help much but that’s my honest opinion- since I found your vlogs I honestly do way more than I did (kitchen wise) and I was a cook/baker before I retired but you put me to shame 🤦♀️ I watch all the adverts because I think if you can take the time and e energy to do these videos then the least us viewers can do is watch every advert (I believe it helps ) and if people don’t like your garden etc then we all have a suggestion of what they can do 😂😂 I watch your vlogs with two of my grandchildren- the two youngest ones (8 and 10)- and they love it as much as I do - now that was a squirrel (said the 64 year old Scottish woman ) lol 💜
Thank you! I do reduce the ads in these long form vidos, sometimes they double them up and i always try and make sure they're singles! but I do appreciate you watching them and I do appreciate the income!
I let the adds play and I read all the comments.
I love both styles. If you make it im gonna watch it 🤷🏻♀️👍🏻
Brilliant videos as always x
Im from New Zealand and have watched all your videos and am especially enjoing your new vlogs please keep them up
Hello the kids made some cute decorations for ur tree. ❤
I love whatever format you choose! Oh my, you have the patience of a saint! There is no way I could do the chocolate chips! I'd make a block probably.....or not! Could you do an video on sour dough starter and what to look for, why it fails etc. Thanks for all the videos!
I did a pretty in depth one one sourdough starter a little while back, I haven't been using mine much because in this heat it sort of needs constant use but with only baking bread for the kids I'm going super easy yeasted stuff!

It's all good stuff
Another great video,I’m loving the every day style but know it’s probably not what you are going to continue after Christmas
Hi Nyssa your kid’s really like doing craft I bet they would enjoy the diamond art
Surreal enjoys the diamond art, I actually bought her some tools and some more stuff for xmas for it, but the boys hand eye isn't quite there, or their attention span lol. Sonnet might like it too though, I bought some extras :D
I don’t mind if you do ramble, just enjoy watching your videos and the creations that the kids make, I do like the format of your videos this way, but do the amount and the way that works best for you, as you are very busy lady, and I will watch as many as you able to put out
Enjoy watching you and your family
Love your rambling Nyssa.❤
I'm enjoying these so much 😊❤
You need to be on America’s Test Kitchen-Australia Style lol! You remind me of a culinary mad scientist! Loved watching/hearing your thought process in creating the Chocolate Chips! 😊
You are doing a great job. I love watching your post. I can see the ketovor is working. Keep up the great post on RUclips. Thanks for sharing with us❤
Also could you bring us along when you do your shopping list at home? Maybe we can see your pantry ect. I know you've shown us before but that sounds interesting to me! Your garden is fine. People are always going hate
I will try! I get a bit of flak over our food storage etc as well lol, because we have it scattered where we need it due to space and the kitchen still being in progress!
@OurSmallFootprint i see what you're saying. People need to understand you're in Australia off grid in a outside kitchen. I'd love to see those people do what you do for one day! Flak brings you more views and comments boots your channel. So if you could just ignore them it would make you more money lol. However it is so hard to ignore ignorance.
As a long time gardener I do not find anything wrong with your garden.
Its a little neglected, but I think at this time of year it always looks a bit that way, everything grows so well, including the weeds!
I like this style, Nissa. Love your videos.
I really enjoy this style. I feel like I'm chatting with a friend. ❤
That said whatever works for you and makes your life easier
Maybe putting the chocolate mixture into a piping bag would easier to fill the chop mold. You'd be abl to squirt the mixture into each mold without dealing with the mess or waste.
Thats possible, and I know some people just make the chips by piping it directly onto a baking sheet, but this mixture ended up too runny to do that with, but into the moulds might work!
Love this format!
I enjoy all your videos, ❤❤
I like the talk as you go! Is it less work for you?
It is, less scheduling of typing notes, then having to film the notes etc etc. It will just be learning how to scale down the chat and the length of the videos when I go back to normal!
Nyssa, your videos are awesome and love your rambling as you say, it's so entertaining. Love the ornaments you make. You look like you have lost weight? Is your diet working for Darell? You are doing a great job with the kids. Take care. Happy holidays 😊
I haven't weighed myself since my last visit to mums because I tend to just check in there every 8 weeks, so I have no idea, I don't feel any different but who knows.
Darryl has dropped considerable weight and cms though and is feeling a lot better.
Greetings from Alabama. My wife and I love your channel and your resourcefulness! Don’t listen to the Karen’s and stay strong! She is really eyeing the thermo mix and we are both impressed on how you have mastered it! Stay safe and keep them flowing! Garden looks good. Have gardening with Leon(RUclips) good resource for wicking tubs!
Gardening with Leon is awesome for the tubs! We're still trying to figure out what works for us and caging/protecting them! all a learning thing hehe.
Thankyou!
We ran into cicadas on our vacation last summer. Odd fact, they are in a range my husband can’t hear😂 We don’t have cicadas here in Yuma.I think because it is too dry. I love any style and all of your vlogs.❤❤
Wow, they're so loud, it makes you think of all the things he can't hear and how quiet the surrounds must be for him sometimes lol
Either way I enjoy.
love it all lol ...merry xmas nyssa Daryl and kids
I don’t have any helpful feedback about your videos! I love getting to watch your videos which ever way you choose to make them! To me it’s like getting a little visit with a Friend!
i'm enjoying the chatty videos! I'm sure it's much less work for you too.
You did better than I would have with choc chips… would have chucked it and my toys!
hehe, it was kinda annoying, but the results are so neat, I'm going to try popping them out more in bulk after being in the freezer today, that might help, but i will prob stick with bark and breaking it up lol.
I really enjoy these videos. Will Darryl come on camera to show his result of being on the keto diet. ? Love watching how you are making your food
I will try and remember to get a full body shot for you hehe, he's working on a conversion that he's trying to get finished before I go shopping next just to get that extra money in the account hehe.
Hehe the chocolate chips gave me nightmare flashback to when I did it for my son. He has a soy allergy and desperately wanted to try chocolate chips... cue several hours of tantrums later, and I can say that I've done it once but never again. I still made chocolate, but not choc chips lol. I was over the moon when I discovered Pana chocolate and I could just buy him chocolate. It's expensive, so he only gets it at easter, Christmas and his birthday
hehe, I may do it, just once more... but it def won't be a regular occurrence lol!
Supper looked delicious. You're a champ for making those fiddly chocolate chips! Are Lily's chocolate products (including chips) sold in Australia? I know those are a popular choice with Keto folks here in the U.S.
I can buy them on iherb, but with the weather the way it is, they'd prob be solid by the time I got them! heh
Hi Nyssa, which video was it that you made the risotto in the thermomix? I’m looking for the recipe 😊
Day Two! :D
I do like this vlog format as well. Perhaps for your trifle, you can make angel food cake. Make the egg white bread that is all over the keto world, but add 1/4 cup allulose for color and texture, a bit of almond and vanilla flavor, and a couple drops of pure liquid sucralose (Amazon), I know that is not mentioned much in the keto/carnivore world because it is a questionable sweetener, but I don't like stevia or erythritol. And it did not spike my blood sugars. I also am sensitive to nuts so almond flour became an issue in baking. So the egg white bread/angel food cake became my go to for a baked sweet treat. You could use egg whites and not the powder just as easily, then you have the yokes left for your cream pudding. I sweetened that with sucralose as well. :)
I haven't tested out the different sweeteners on myself too much yet, we did have ice cream last night with allulose and it was so lovely but a bit too sweet, all the sweeteners have pros and cons everywhere for everyone, I think you just need to figure out what works for you!
I did see the carnivore oopsie cake, I reckon that might be worth trying too!
