So what you are saying is that your family is a team and that's how it's supposed to be :) :) :) it's not about a perfect house, laundry or kids...its about love and you've got it. Looking forward to your next post.
So dang inspiring right! So easy breezy go with the flow kind of vibe. These are mom goals, for real!
This is the best most encouraging mom video I've ever seen, thank you!
I agree
Agreed!
I agree totally
I think a big part of your ease in housekeeping is no clutter.
I love this so much! I recently had my third baby, and I am finally starting to loosen up and accept how life is with three littles. This was very encouraging.
This video is so inspiring. I have to let more things go!
Me too! And as someone who has ocd it's really challenging but I'm trying.🥰
I love your honesty and your fantastic attitude!
Love that you did this. So tired of all the “influencers” who try to make you believe they do it all alone and manage everything so flawlessly. It’s impossible and it makes people feel inadequate. I know all this and I still sometimes get caught on the trap of “why can’t I do that too?!”
Andrea Bird Agree 100%
Thank you for being so transparent. Young moms need to hear this . They need to enjoy the time they have NOW with their families. The things that are being stressed over will not matter in a few years . We can not turn back time . I'm 60 ,3 children, 5 grands
God bless you girl for speaking the truth. My first son. I was a mental wreck! Constantly worrying and checking on him. I wore myself out! Trying to keep a perfect home and happy baby. But by the 3rd, 4th and 5th. It was like "who cares if my home was perfect and if my boys were perfectly clean clothes and were clean themselves". Let them play in the dirt and have fun. I didn't have a dishwasher with them. My boys were assigned chores. Did they do them perfect, did I stress. Heck no. But we made memories of them being creative with their minds. Some people called me Supermom. It hurt my feelings. Because I wasn't. My house wasn't perfect my children didn't look perfect. I just could never understood why some people put labels on other people. You live your life that makes you happy and your family. God bless you and your family.
Excellent video. I have 4 kids ages 4, 6, 9, and 10 and am currently 28 weeks pregnant with #5. I couldn't agree more with what you've said. I've had the same experience.
This video is a year old but I just found it through auto play, such an encouragement. To be 100% honest, I was JUST thinking “dang, I wish I had it together like her!” and then you said “if you have three kids and don’t have the help I have, you’re doing the best you can.” It was so perfect for me. Thanks for being so authentic and honest, you blessed this mama’s heart 💜
you are so welcome
An inspiring video. I have one child and I definitely have the "my house needs to be perfect before I leave and before I go to bed" mentality and it's tiring. I need to let stuff go, life's too short! And the kicker is usually no one comes to my house so I'm making it perfect for myself 🤷
This video makes me love you even more, Lisa! I'm a homeschooling Mama of 6 also, and really needed to be reminded to stop trying to do it all and let go of the minor stuff! Thanks!
Love to the hubby. We’re going through something similar and I’m so grateful for my man... so so grateful. These hubbies who help out are supermen.
Good luck with the book.....you are a great mom with a great husband...loving the kids & having a happy home is more important than a perfect home.
Once the kids are grown, you can clean....lol
Mary
This is the most real, real, real video from any RUclipsr I've ever watched. Thanks for this! I'm really tired of non realistic videos of pretend scinarios.
Good for you!!! I'm sharing your channel .....others have to hear this.
Love it Lisa! Thank you for being so real. I have 6 children 13, 12, 10, 8, 3.5 and 3mo an a husband who is an amazing Law Enforcemet Officer and partner of 16 years. People ask me all the time how in the world I get so much done while homeshooling our children as well. We are a team! Everyone works together, even the 3 year old loves to be responsible for things. He puts away his own clothes every morning, makes his bed, and brushes his teeth. Everyone cleans up after every meal (no dishwasher here either) and it's quick! Minimalizing and decluttering has helped so much! We live in town, but have farm hearts as we have 4 laying hens out back, 10 chicks, and 7 baby ducks! Love my life too and so thankful to the Lord for it!
As a overwhelmed ( at times) work from home full time mama with 3 kids, this is SO refreshing!
I think people need to realize that your videos are just a moment in time screen shot of your life and not always how you spend a typical day. Love the honesty.
Yep, me too! My friends are like scrubing counters with 409 and eating of there clean floors and i have A duck Running through the house eating rice on the floor! And i call this clean because there’s lavender in the diffuser! Lmao! Where are your clean clothes you ask? On the sprair bed upstairs, where theve been for week! But they’re clean dammit. Mom what’s for dinner? Food! As I have nothing planned I will throw something together at the last minute! Meat n veg! We are so much alike! Love u lisa!
😂😂😂
All very familiar! My kids always ask what I'm making, as if I ever have a proper response! Ha
Super refreshing and honest. Thank you for sharing this!
Ameen!
Hello!
I'm also a homeschooling mom with 5 children (1yr old -11years old). I'm constantly trying to keep my house, all floors, clean, tidy and clutter free! I do have the help of my older kids, but not as much because I like to do things a certain way.
Watching this has made me realize... I need to let some things go and enjoy life a lot more and not worry so much about some things.
My husband is a great help when he gets home from work and at least once a week I have a mom's night out. We also try to go out on a date once a month, which is much needed! 😊
Thank you sooo much for sharing this video!
May God continue to bless you and your wonderful family!
So what u r saying is many hands makes the load lighter🤔imagine that concept?!?! I love it Lisa, you are living the life that the Lord intended, full of love and family. If only all families still made these things a priority. Have a blessed week💕
I was the oldest of seven. Being that I am an introvert who needs more downtime, I ended up feeling burned out before I had my own children. There are many positives 2 the first two oldest having responsibility. But I also think it depends upon the personality of the child and what they can or cannot handle. Also, the middle children felt left by the wayside. But that is just my personal experience. I am saying this to encourage all you young mothers out there that while children are young you might not notice how they are feeling, especially if they are introverts. My own personality takes on too much responsibility. I don't know how you work this all out , but my mom didn't have half the things going on that you do. I pray this all goes well for you all and listen to my story and possibly learn something. I come to this website because it was my dream to raise my children this way. The dream of every child oh, I think, is to live on a farmstead like yours with a huge swing hanging from a big old oak tree. A garden, some animals, a stream nearby for fishing etc etc. Unfortunately, we did not have the money. But I also love your recipes and lifestyle so we'll continue just stop by now and then.
I struggle with how my home should be. I LOVE when the house is clean and organized. I feel less chaotic. Yet that's not always my priority. One thing I appreciate from watching you is...simplify. I feel led to get rid of what we really don't need. Thanks for keeping it real. ❤
I wish I could like this video 1,000 times. Lisa, I so appreciate you for sharing this. xoxo
Love your honesty! As a mom of 6 boys in 10 years I related to everything you said! Let it go! Family is way more important than your home always being magazine worthy.
Biggest takeaway - focus on ONE THING at a time... boy oh boy I do NOT do this and yup, it takes up so much mental space that I can't make much progress.
This is great. That 3rd kid changed my house keeping as well. I'm glad I'm not alone!
This video honestly made me tear up 😅 in a good way! I know a lot of moms of 4+ kids on Instagram and in real life that make it seem like they just have it all together and it has made me feel like I’m a horrible mom cause having a toddler and a baby is so hard 😭 I really appreciate your transparency and honesty. You have really inspired me to try to deal with some of the “mental clutter” and perfectionism I deal with that definitely adds a lot of stress to my life. Also I have never thought about how having older kids could make some tasks/daily stuff easier so that gives me a lot of hope for the future ☺️
I have 6 kids (over 10 years) the hardest years where with my fist two babies. The intensity is high then. - Danya
Sending you love. You can do this. You are in the thick of it now. Kids will be able to do chores and have more unsupervised time in a few years:)
Tim Vander Mey thank you for the encouragement!! It means a lot to know I’m not the only one who has felt overwhelmed/struggled with only 2
Janelle Margot thank you so much for the encouragement!! That gives me a lot of hope :)
This is SO helpful thank you! My husband and I run our business together as well from home with 2 kids under 3 and no childcare help or family nearby and sometimes it's easy to compare to other content creators and feel like it's just impossible to keep up and do it all! It's so refreshing when mamas are honest about how they do it! I definitely can relate to how much more laid back / confident I've become as a mom with number 2 so I can see how the more you have the more it goes that way! Appreciate you making this content and your honesty! xx
100% agree! Don't stress over the small stuff.
Except I do love my dishwasher. Couldn't do without it! 😂
You all work as a team and thats what its supposed to be. Share the load. Amen to sleeper and bed not being fixed. You are accepting help which is good. THank you for making this! You are helping me more than you know!
This is one of many reasons why I love your channel and enjoy following you!! And why I keep coming back!! Your so honest and frank about real life!! (Of course, not to mention how fun and informative you are! 🤭 tee-hee) I also think that as we all get older, we realize that it just doesn't matter about the little things! Life is too short to be stressed out all the time! It's only important to love and enjoy your family!! I am looking forward to checking out your book!! How exciting that it's almost finished!! Have a super wonderful night!! hugs! 💓
This is so encouraging to hear. So many years later, it would be great to hear an updated version of this and how you’ve developed your system over the years
I feel exactly the same way about the dishwasher!😄💛
Simple Living With Scandish Home I do as well, plus I like to wash dishes
Me too.....never had one I wash as soon as I use I think it's more hygienic.....
I honestly think I still have clean Christmas dishes still sitting in my dishwasher. That’s the only time I use mine.... once a year! Lol
Look how beautiful and healthy your son looks! That just proves how well you are doing 😊
I love your humility and honesty! Your laid back attitude is so inspiring to me! This is my favorite video of yours
I love the fact that you’re so honest. I feel that the perfect media out there has put such pressure on young moms that they will never be able to measure up. We need more of this. What we really look like, from Pinterest, to RUclips and Instagram. A woman is only one person and her work is never done from sunrise to sunset she is constantly going and never measuring up to the perfect media. People need to realize life is not perfect and it SELDOM turns out the way we want it to.
Couldn’t agree with you more! I tell people all of the time having 4 kids is much easier than 2 or 3 because the older kids can help! Thanks for your videos..I love watching! :)
So articulate. You helped ME, and I am 70 years old!
So true. I believe 100% in team work, including your children - you want them to learn to be adults anyway. One simply cant do as much if you have to do it all, and all by yourself. That's the lesson of life. I am so excited by Lisa's families example.
Love how well you shared you life behind the scenes. You are a very well grounded person. You keep it real. Thank you for that. Karen ❤
I love this so much, Lisa! We are a homeschooling family of 7. It takes all of us to get it all done and it's never perfect. Thank you so much for sharing!
Awww. Lisa, you're a doll. Thanks for your honesty. Love the insight into your home life. Can't wait for more videos. Mom of four (adults now) and I long for those days you described. It definitely got easier with each baby. ;()
Wow this is so reassuring for me. I just started following you and I was saying to myself "How does she do it all and make it look so effortless!?" 😂 thank you for keeping it real!
This was exactly what I’ve been needing to hear. Thank you for sharing ❤️🙏🏼
RUclipsrs are the new celebs. And our culture not only loves (and, at times, hates) its celebs, but also elevates them to an unreal status. People seem to still think that "stardom" and money equal a happy, carefree life. (I have never understood this, when there is soooo much evidence to the contrary.) People get this unrealistic view of people who they observe from afar. It really has very little to do with true life. It can be a movie star, anyone on tv or the internet, anyone in politics or the pulpit, or even the "together-seeming" nextdoor neighbors. Thank you for your honesty, and I can appreciate your discomfort over being perceived as some icon, but don't be surprised if the misconceptions persist. It's kinda funny, in a not-funny way, that we idolize people to torment ourselves! We all need a lot of prayer! Keep loving those babies - you have beautiful children! ❤️😘
🙌🏻 from a fellow busy mom of 5 kids, you are so right :) thanks for keeping it real and refreshing.
You go girl. Happy family happy life
This video was perfect timing! Thank you so much Lisa!! So encouraging and inspiring!
Aww.... Lisa bless your little. Love this video thank you for being so giving of you and your family. Hugs..... Christina
What a refreshing and encouraging video. Thank you so much for being so honest ❤️!!!
Love this video!! I’ve got a 15mo old with another on the way and working on growing my own business from home. I want a big family but sometimes it does seem like too much to handle! Love hearing about how your life and mindshift has shifted with more kids.
I would love to hear about why you chose to home school your kids! I don’t know much about it, but it seems that many families I look up to and find inspiring choose to home school.
Love your content, thanks again!
This may be my most favorite video you've ever done. Thank you for being real... This was just very helpful and encouraging overall. ❤️
Love this video! So great that more and more mom's are saying how it really is. Thanks for being honest. Such a great inspiration for other women and mom's out there. We can do anything with help! ❤️👏🏻
Excellent reminders contained in this video! Thank you for making it Lisa! You help so many people realize that they should not let stress steal their joy! Plus you are an excellent blog teacher. 😉
Love your advice about focusing on just one project at a time. Can’t wait to read your book!
I love this video!! So real and so true- best encouraging mom video I have seen in a long time!
I love this so much ❤️❤️❤️Thank you for being so honest about your life. Love your channel 🙌🏻
This was good to hear, thank you so much for this!
Thank you for this!! Transparency is so key to your brand, and I am loving this channel!
Thanks for sharing. Definitely one of my favorite families to keep up with! You seem down to earth and I enjoy your style🌈🌻
This is such a wonderful video! Thank you for being so transparent and real!
Thank you for being so honest! This video gave moms such good advice!❤️
Best video you ever posted Lisa!
Great video. It’s easy to assume others lives are so easy & together because on social media we see such a small part of it. Thanks for sharing.
So well articulated!!! Thanks for sharing :) I love that you have really specific examples of everything!
Oh this is so helpful! Thanks Lisa, I just have one kid and am struggling with all of the anxiety you mentioned, regarding routines and sleep and getting everything done 😅 Your relaxed attitude is exactly what I needed 🙏🏻☺️❤️
Loved this video, Lisa! ❤️
This was so refreshing! I’ve got 4 kids- age 8 down to 1 year and it’s very true that letting go of that perfection makes life easier. (And better!) “ I can’t so I don’t.” A great reminder that by not focusing on ALL the things, we can do the most important things.
I love how being a mom of many just makes you more efficient then a mom of one ! I am having my third here soon and I can see this happening in myself! Thanks Lisa! Hope your feeling well! Love your videos and excited for your book!!!!
Thank you for doing this video. Your no-stress approach is the way to go! ❤️❤️
Wow this video has been so refreshing to me. I'm pregnant with my first, due in July. I've been a nanny for little ones, so I am so used to the perfectionism of making a house look perfect at the end of the day. It is in my nature to do that, and I love how realistic this video is to reality. I appreciate the rawness and imperfection that you share with those watching.
I love your integrity and honesty lady. That makes you always worth watching. Thanks for letting us share your life.
My new favorite video now. Thanks for being so blunt and sincere. It’s always so comforting when us moms share real stories of everyday family life. I actually figured this was exactly how the video was going to go because of me and my 3 kids with a family business and us waiting to move into our country home but having other moms reminding us they’re crazy busy too is a special treat.
Good for you! God Bless you and your beautiful family.
I love your honesty. This made me feel so much better about how my home looks most of the time 🙂
You are so adorable..and Mica 😍😍 I love hearing babies talk. I love the fact that you are so real. I wish you all the luck and success in the world. Love watching you and your family!
I must have watched this video about 4 times just trying to let all of this sink in! I fully appreciate it bc i naturally stress over everything that goes on in my head when in reality it could be much simpler. I am of mom of one but even so, i still let life get me in a craze just worrying and pressuring myself. I love your approach on life and thank you sharing!
Focusing on the health of your family which you clearly do, loving the kids and allowing them to learn without judgment, is sooooo much better than a made bed and dusted furniture. Kudos for knowing what's important.
These was so needed your so honestly and real !!!!! God Bless you Lisa and your Love ones 🤗💞
I love this so much! I am 6 months postpartum with my 1st and have been so caught in the comparison game. Thank you for your uplifting words 🥰
Such a great attitude !!! It's all about the priorities that you / we give to our life. Best regards from Germany
Great video! I found myself nodding in agreement with you the whole video. Way to be an encouragement to all of us! 💕
Thank you for being real and sharing this video. Everything you said is so true. All the best with the book!!
Girl. You are Wise Beyond your years. I’m so thankful for you!!!
Excellent post!! Such good advice for younger moms! And such a wonderful example you are setting for your children!
So much love for this video!!! You said it perfectly.
I love your honesty 💕
Thank you thank you thank you. I love watching your videos and Instagram pics 💕💕💕
Wonderful, Lisa! I have been watching you for almost two years and I am so grateful for you and feel proud that I have been able to see especially how you have been able to continue to grow in your business. You are authentic. Your channel is beautiful which can make it seem like you have a perfect life. Now I can say with confidence this beauty comes from caring about your work.
It is evident by the types of projects you choose to take on that you have a strong work ethic. Given this video, I understand your greater strength: you have had the wisdom to receive help in ways that allow you to continue to grow. You have accepted the good and real in place of some unattainable imaginings. In my admiration of you and your family, there were times when I felt inadequate especially when I see how much you get done. I only have one little one at home and I feel like I am constantly in survival mode.
From this video, I know I have a lot of things to work on within myself in order to find and maintain peace. I struggle with serious perfectionism, with wanting everything done my way, with trying to control things I cannot control, and in needless stressing and worrying. I am reminded of these weaknesses, but you were able to overcome some of these things too! It gives me hope that I can and my children can help me heal if I let them.
Thank you for being open about breastfeeding your little one, especially with how it looks in your life and how it's not necessarily the way all the books recommend. It really helps me to be more relaxed about how imperfect it all has been for us. My daughter has the same night needs as your son and I let that stress really affect me. In these talk videos I get to catch a couple of glimpses into your other life choices which make me admire you so much more: baby-led weaning, choosing stainless steel/silicone, and a minimalism that is more free from pressures (like things everyone else tells us our children need, I'm thinking of the time you got rid of the children's kitchen because it wasn't worth it).
Currently, I am realizing I don't want toxic items in my home also I'm discovering parenting methodologies I want to use to raise my children. Hopefully after laying this foundation, these current time-consuming tasks can be on auto-pilot so I can be more peaceful and focus on more creative endeavors like you have been able to. Prayers for you and your family.
Just found your channel and love it! I completely agree with this video. I'm in your shoes now with moving onto 10 acres to hopefully homestead, remodeling, have 7 children, homeschool, cook a lot from scratch. One thing I'm looking to do is cook healthier more consistently and you're inspiring. Thank you for being real!
Good for you.
Young Moms and Dads need to know that everyone’s life is not a Pinterest life. Kudos Lisa.
I love this! You are always so real and honest. I’ve commented on you being a super mom or to that effect before, but it was by no means to undermine that you have an equal partner who helps you, and you help help him. I just admire you and all that you do. You are an inspiration.
What a beautiful honest video. You are so real!! I love it.
I’m glad you cleared things up! I’m glad to hear everything you shared in this video. Motherhood can be so lonely and confusing at times. Especially when you look to Facebook, youtube etc. and you see someone “doing it all,” you feel you should be able to also. Even when I know I’m seeing the “highlight” reel I still trick myself into thinking it’s always like that for them. So, thank you so much for sharing.
Love this video. Hopefully I can calm down with this second child on the way. You are so right - the first few kids you think everything has to be perfect and then you chill out. My friend with 6 kids told me this as well.
I really enjoyed this video, love how honest you are 👏🏼
Love the message! My kids are now 22 and 20! Your doing a great job! Your children look happy, healthy and well loved! 🥰
Haha! Love your frank explanation. It’s real life...I go through the same dishwasher woes 😂, and our kids are adults now! You are great! Keep up the great work..especially your “real” and transparent nature! Love it...I keep laughing....I appreciate it!
This was the best, most refreshing, thing I’ve seen in a very long time. Thank you for your openness.
