Thanks again for listening and I'll see you in the next episode of the Simple Farmhouse Life podcast!
Honestly I really respect that you don't share or showcase your kids on your channel.
social media isnt what most people expect and it can drain your entire day and get nothing done. My family didnt choose to have a channel I did and thats why I dont share them. They help so much and I do want to share special things but nowadays I want to protect their privacy. I love the phone idea. Im trying hard not to be on the phone for work stuff so its a challenge but You get your time and quality of life back when your not on your phone. Its amazing when you leave it behind how you feel better!
I am a 69 year old lady that has been watching your videos and a few of your blogs for quite sometime. I am amazed at your youth and the wisdom and common sense you have. I wonder where you will be in life by the time you are "69". lol
I took a TERRIBLE trip with a friend. Snot, tears, kids, family, such a hard trip. Facebook told the story of our amazing, sunny, shiny trip. Half of the participants seem to have made that version their reality. So interesting.
I think it would be hard to be on social media especially with a family. People just expect they can know about your private life. The line has to be drawn somewhere. Boundaries are key. If I had a channel, I would be protective of my children's privacy.
👏🏻
Your authenticity is so refreshing. I deeply appreciate your channels and EVEN MORE now.
well thank you!❤️❤️❤️
God Bless you Lisa for using your Talents to Help People. Congratulations 🎊🎈🍾
I love how you present your channel. I love to watch your journey in restoring your farmhouse, adding to your homestead and “simple”child rearing. I love that you don’t have the camera I your children’s face when they are having a meltdown. I know this is your job. Maybe it’s bc I’m 61 and have that many years of experience but I know without being told that before you showed us your bathroom reveal that you probably had to pick up the towels off the floor and clean the fixtures and film while babies were napping ( I have 8 grandchildren). When we try to take family pics it’s like herding flies. I don’t understand why people think you need to show us the behind the scenes. That’s not why I’m here anyway. I love to see your home as you present it. I’m not interested in seeing the bedrooms in a mess bc I’m smart enough to know that when you let your children explore their passions as you do, there is a disaster that comes along with that. You have such a lovely way of photographing what you give us as content but I know it’s staged. When people don’t understand that it blows my mind. You don’t owe anyone an explanation of why it looks perfect. When someone goes into a department store to buy an outfit they know the mannequin was prepared by placing the perfect handbag and shoes with the outfit. This is your job to earn a living to give your family the simple life they have. I know your husband works super hard on your homestead and helps with the children. I grew up on 40 acres. It’s a lot of work. Keep doing what you are doing bc it’s working for you.
58, well said, same sentiment from me
EXACTLY, Rita! I have my own dirty bathroom and chaotic laundry, etc,..why in the world would I want to stare at a screen at other people’s messes? I come here for the simple, serene, pragmatic, calm, delivery of advice and commentary. I enjoy the simple, edited, classic look of a farmhouse with beautiful antiques being used every day. That is inspiring. I don’t want a housewife’s version of Jerry Springer…complaining about messes and life’s stresses. I think Lisa has a great way of balancing real life with inspiring organization.
I wish more blogging sites would be as open and honest as you! Stay strong and keep being true to God, your family, friends and YOU!
I love these podcasts, it’s like visiting with a friend, having a cup of coffee and learning.
You are very down to Earth and a breath of fresh air!
Love the “little to no” social media! I think everyone needs to get on that walk and get back to being private and socialize more face to face not where the whole world knows your life, just the special people you want to share it with. Love this content Lisa
It's incredible how attached we are to our phones. I have trouble not checking mine any time I have a spare moment and I am so concious that my kids are watching me do it. When we go camping and our phones don't work because of poor service I actually feel relief that we can just be together without all the distractions. Great idea and thanks for sharing.
I did this!! The dumb phone, that is. I was a baby Christian and struggliinngg. I had gone through abusive situations as a young child and habits were formed. This is as vulnerable as it gets I suppose, but I was struggling with pornography. The dumb phone was my answer. I can thankfully say, I have an iPhone again and no longer struggle!!! Praise God! I felt like the odd duck, people did give me strange looks, and oh my word, navigating without google maps was so hard. But I wouldn’t trade that time for anything! I am no longer a slave to that sin! I would do it again if I needed to and I’m proud of you for being a doer of the word, not just a hearer of it. I look forward to hearing about your success with it!
I just want to simply say, thank you! I'm going back and listening to this, as I work through my own to do list and start to feel overwhelmed all the time! I adore you and admire you, and have learned so much from your blogs and podcasts. Thank you for putting yourself out there, reminding us what's real, and how we can achieve what we want to accomplish a step at a time.
Congrats on 100! So glad I stumbled on your channels! You inspire me to take better care of my family ❤️. Thank you!
Wow I really needed to here this Lisa, thank you! And YAY for 100 podcast episodes, good job girl for your hard work.
Yay! I’m glad for you for the phone changes.. I feel so concerned for you mamas navigating this social media life these days. Things were difficult enough with distractions when I was raising my kiddos 20 years ago, but now it seems a constant struggle for families and mamas with just living in and out of the public eye. Thanks for sharing your warnings and limits! Blessings to you and yours as you navigate the business plans but also seek to peacefully be present for your precious family. 💕
Thank you so much. It was funny but I saw myself answering in advance your comments on social media, achieving things and when you said you only needed to care for... I did answer God 😊 . I really relate. You are so inspireing. I Thank God that I found you. Eventhough my nest is already empty I relate.
I had a brown swiss cow I loved. I did butter and share it with my coworkers. I worked as a programmer in a high tech computer company. Kind of two different world. When I got home I took care of the house chores, kids, dinner, kids:(3 boys and a girl) homework and the cows , calf, and other farm animals. My husband work night shift , me day shift. Now I look back and think how was I able to do all that. On the weekend I played and sang in 2 different church services and had a youth choir, for the one we had practice on saturdays. I loved and still do to cook from scratch, sew for all of us, do crafts with my children and and the church kids too.
Life changes, the nest gets empty. Now I cook just for me, but is the same eating healthy, cooking from scratch, being enviromental concience, reusing, living with less. This past year I started to lower all my inventories and letting go of things. It's Life cycle. 😊
I do want to be able to fence the farm and benchmark from your experiences with the farm. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for opening your door to us. For being so kind and shareful. Your channel is a delight. May God bless you and your family in every endeavor and grant you with beautiful experiences throughout this 2022.
Such a great video! I'm one of those people who didn't not know about this channel. I watch your other channel and one day your podcast showed up on my suggested videos. So what I have gotten from all of this is that OMG You're human! I know that sometimes social media can really depress people because they wonder why everyone else's life is just so perfect. I know this video will help someone and I certainly thank you for that It's been a long time since my children were home and you have even made me look back and feel better. Thank You.
If someone seems perfect, its because you dont know them well. Social media and celebrities can really mess with your expectations of life. But real life is messy ;)
ALWAYS enjoyable. Keep up the good work. I love listening, watching and learning from your experiences.
Lisa you are so awesome! Such an inspiration and I love both your channels. Keep on being true to you and your family first and foremost. Really appreciate the opportunity to hear this all today. It's all SO true. I'm a phone left in the bedroom during the day type myself. Drives my friends and family nuts as I rarely answer it unless it's morning or evening cause it's on silent. Hope you have a wonderful rest of your day. Looking forward to seeing your future videos.
I have recently been thinking about going back to a landline! Call me old-fashioned!
Yes! Yes! Yes! I always love your logical (yet laid-back and flexible) thinking. So rare these days when everyone seems to be led by pure feelings. I like it. I've been following you for 2 or 3 years now and I still enjoy all your content.
I appreciate that you are using your platform in such an honest way. It’s important that people know or are remind.
I’ve been feeling super convicted by my phone use lately. I’ve been avoiding what has to be done and this really gave me the nudge I needed. New subscriber found you at the right time 🤍
I really enjoy that you sit and chat in your podcasts. I am the kind of person who needs a visual to focus and podcasts where I just have to listen I get so easily distracted. I appreciate the time to sit, enjoy a cup of coffee and just listen.
Congrats on 100 i wish you and your family a Happy Saturday 😁🙏
I love that something from a year ago can still be so helpful for me today. I really need to hear you talk about chipping away at things little by little, just focusing on today, and being satisfied will a little progress each day. Thank you!
Loved this episode! Thank you Lisa 🤗
Congratulations on #100! Assumptions are never good. None of us really know what goes on behind closed doors. I would have never thought your husband doesn't help out enough. He's always building so much around your farm. Homeschooling the kids etc etc. Not my business either! You have a nice family and all of you work very hard. I wish I had your energy! I very much enjoy your cooking videos, renovations antiquing (wish there were more but I get how busy you are) gardening - projects - all of your animals. Because of you I found out about blue/green eggs. And I found a farm near me that actually sells them. The yolks are a dark orange and super delicious 😋. Also the raw milk and goats milk..here in New York I don't have a lot of farmers or information. Now I have water keifer, raw milk keifer, smoothies fermented foods and sour dough starter all actually work well! Thank you 😊
Blessings on you, Lisa. I admire you for your honesty and willingness to make changes. I watch your videos, and have leaned so much from you. It's really not so bad to disconnect from some of the social media. I watch utube, and that's it. I feel less "cluttered" by other people's drama that way. Thank you so much for your hard work to get content out for us to see. I just found this channel today, but have been watching your other channel for quite a while now. I plan to buy a Berkey water filter, thanks to you.
Thank you for being so sincere!
This was wonderful, Lisa!
I love that you've talked about this, Lisa - it is so true! A photo/video can be very deceptive - I hope people can use this wonderful and truthful explanation about social media and apply it to their minds when it comes to mainstream media, celebrities etc... question everything you see and hear -is that really what's going on? - or is it a 'story' being applied to an image(s)? TY so much Lisa!
Wow, all that you do! As an older mom of a big family who had a busy life, I think it is important to put space around events in our lives. To have a little quiet. Social Media removes that space and quiet. I hope this works for you and your family. I think you will feel more peace and balance.
You are 100% right about social media. I only follow a few people regularly very few you are one of them. You are a true gentle soul. True genuine person. You open your home and your heart. I am not sure how anyone could have a negative comment about anything in regards to what you share all of us. Thank you so much for all that you do. I have learned so much from you.❤️
When I see some of your videos and all the things you get done in a video I get so jealous, like how in the world do you do all of this with all your kids around. Then I remember. This is only 10-20 minutes of your life, and you can do voice overs or edit out the kids coming and pulling on your skirt. Such a great reminder❤️ love your content❤️
Thank you for this podcast. I took your blog course and tried to start a blog and RUclips channel and have pretty much failed. Mostly because I felt so inadequate with content, my house isn't clean enough, my kids are fighting in the background, my recipes don't turn out. I always thought of you as very close to perfect, and much better at life then me. It is good to be reminded that you are human and have help to do all that you do. Thank you again and Gob bless you and your family.
So I am have been watching your videos since I walked away from my insainly stressful job last week. You have given me a lot to think about, but funny enough last week I deleted my FB and Twiiter accounts and other social media and shopping apps from my phone. Thank you for sharing all your wisdom.
Love your podcasts as always! ❤️
I love this because from watching your channel, I assumed (as I shouldn’t have) that you don’t spend time on your phone like most people, like me. I myself don’t have a large amount of self control when it comes to my smart phone and I have considered doing exactly what you are talking about. Getting a flip phone type deal. It’s really encouraging to know 1. Even with your lifestyle you still have the same struggles and 2. You aren’t afraid to talk about them.
I am right there with you on the phone issue! I cant wait for the update (whether that needs to be filmed still or I just need to get to it in my queue lol)
Thank you for your insight. God bless you and your family.
So good!! I love what you said about the only feedback you need is from God, your family, and close friends. Yes! I needed to hear that. Thank you! - Jerusha
I watch your channel just to get glimpses of your cute healthy happy kids🧡
Thank you for this episode. Even though i myself am a creator, it was helpful for me too to just listen to your examples if how things are behind the scenes
You are such an encouragement and inspiration to me from afar Lisa. Thank you for sharing your heart and mind with us🙏🏻🤍🤍🤍
Just found it. Yes I was very confused but very happy to have extra content from you.
You shared a ton of great things on this episode! My husband and I have been debating whether or not to get dumb phones next year, because of the same reasons that you named. We don’t have kids yet, but when we do, we want them to feel like we care about them, and that we’re not distracted by other things. I think even though it may be challenging for a while to get used to, you will be glad that you did it.😁
You are such a wise woman!!!
Ahhh, I think about getting rid of my smart phone ALL THE TIME. I can’t wait to hear how much you love it!
Instagram posts can be done on a computer. I have been using mine for over a year. I try not to rely in my phone so much. Good for you for doing this. I see the beginning of a great thing happening! 🤗
You may not consider yourself a planner, but you seem very organized. Major kudos to you and your family and team of supporters for putting out so much great content.
I wish i could ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ this video. Great goal!
This is all wonderful. Thanks 😊
This is true Lisa I’ve followed you on you tube and found this completely by accident I saw your thumbnail and clicked on it x
You’re doing such a great job explaining things in such detail. You’re articulate and I really enjoy that about you in addition to having such a soothing voice. Love your dry sense of humor and found myself chuckling throughout the podcast. However, when you went into your scheduling, I admit, that was literally a headache. If you need help with life and a dumb phone, you have older listeners/viewers happy to share with you as we continually learn to navigate with our smart phones.
You are an amazing and smart creative young women. I respect and admire you very much!!
DUMB PHONE! Yes! My 14 year old has one. Why didn’t I think of that?! Thank you for this
Yay! 100 episodes 💕
Love your podcast as well as blog!!!
Thanks so much 😊
Lisa, I went back to a dumb phone for about 9 months and just switched back this week to an iPhone for business reasons. I just used an IPad for apps but nooooo social media at all. It was a wonderful break. Just leave the tablet in a certain area and check it at designated times.
I cannot wait to see how this “dumb phone” route goes for you! Social media is such an issue for me. It sounds like a great idea and I look forward to your update.
I'm really liking it so far!
You are right about Berkly, had one for over 10 years.
The only thing I can say is everyone has problems but really each person is entitled to what is called privacy. All the people who watch you guys like you for sharing the special things and the looks. Me personally I don’t care about what things you would like to keep to yourself and are entitled to do because last time I looked ,this for the moment is a free country. We are all not stupid to realize you guys ups and downs as all humans have. We love the information and the way you deliver it and how sweet you are and your so energetic. You are a great motivator and give great inspiration.We love your ideas. We just like you. We don’t need to every time you do something that’s all. So don’t go crazy with the explanations we all understand.
Love love love this. I nightly listen to a podcast or a RUclips video while I do dishes (like I am right now) and I've been having the same pull and conviction. I've tried the drawer thing, the airplane mode, all the other tricks to lessen the pull. But if your eye offends thee pluck it out, right? Thanks for sharing your struggle with this so openly. I just ordered a simple little Nokia as well. Hope it is just as beneficial for you as I hope it to be for me!
That scripture kept coming to mind for the last several months!
Good for you with your phone. You are a wise woman.
You are so real. Thank you for that. I am very curious how this phone worked out ! Il
All power to you Lisa.
You could consider getting a Garmin or TomTom for directions in the car if you don’t have a navigation system. That’s the one thing I’m worried about “missing” upon switching to a dumb phone, which I am also heavily considering.
Raised 4 kids. I know that family photo pain. I think the pictures of melt downs with a single tear rolling down the little baby cheek is still my favorite. My baby is now 30 and still has no patience for taking photos. Life is funny and people need to just roll with it.
I loved this podcast. I am putting my phone away in another room at night. When I visit family and at work.
Very ins ightful, thanks
One of the things I like best about your channel is that you are real. You may not show the mess beyond the camera frame or show the kids misbehaving or whatever, but you do talk about it and remind us that you are a real person with a real life and life is messy.
I post mostly on IG and most of my "followers" (I don't care for that terminology in the social media sense...) are homesteaders, gardeners, farmers, herbalists, etc. I post pics of delicious foods that I make, herbal remedies all bottled up for the shelf, and lush garden pics. I started to get comments about how good I am at these things~~so when I spent time cooking, I took a shot of the dishes piled in the sink and along the counter tops. I captioned it saying something like, "I am forever posting all of my successes in the kitchen, garden, and apothecary. Here's what's happening beyond the camera frame. I'm real."
Recently I was talking to my daughter in the kitchen and not paying attention and I stepped into a basket of eggs that were sitting on the floor waiting to be washed. My foot got caught in the handle and I hopped around the kitchen with eggs slinging everywhere. I took a shot of the aftermath and poked a little fun at myself. Eggs everywhere~~sometimes it be like that. ;)
I've heard it said that when we view social media, we compare "their" best again our worst. "Their" clean, cute home against our scratch 'n ding furniture and threadbare rug. "Their" perfect Pinterest cake/casserole/whatever against our boxed mac 'n cheese. "Their" lush garden against our "I have no clue what I'm doing yet." attempts to grow something. I wish we could all just be real.
I would love to have a YT channel or some other outlet for my own creativity, but I don't feel photographic enough to be on film. I mean, I shouldn't care. If my channel were to be about growing food, herbal remedies, etc.~~who gives a rip what I look like?! Who cares that I have an Appalachian accent?! Who cares that I'm not a pro at filming or photography?! I guess I do because "they" make it look so good and I feel like I couldn't cut it.
Thank you for shedding some light on this issue. Great video. God bless!
Years ago Regis and Joy from Regis and Kathy Lee Live had a magazine do a photo shoot of their home, it was so doctored that when their kids saw the pictures they asked what room it was, lol.
Thank you for sharing This! Also I laughed out loud when you said the assumption thing lol, people can be so mean. I also 100% agree with people filling in the blanks in videos, I have had people tell me my family doesn't help clean or they can't believe I didn't help my husband carry something 😂, when they have no idea what just happened 10 minutes before or after that video clip. Great conversation!
I kept my home phone..I only use my cell phone when I am in the car for emergencies. People can leave me a message on the home phone and I will call back when I have time. I do have an IPad that my husband and I share.
I enjoy watching RUclips to learn new tips!
I have a flip top phone and always have...phones are meant for talking to people! Hope it goes well for you :). Great episode!
I just found you today! Thank you
I subbed this channel too i didnt know it existed...great content
Very well said!!
Lisa you are just amazing! Love your videos and blog. You are speaking my language and I am wanting to go the dumb phone route too. Can you share which phone you got? You are so inspirational!
i got the light phone!
Thanks!
And about suggestions for the podcast or others- I saw one or two videos about giving up the smartphone for a month and how did it work- so this can be something interesting (I admit that I also thought about getting a regular cellphone).
Hi lisa I made saurkraut and I love it so much . Thank you. Luv karyann
Also, a podcast idea I thought of recently.
Did you and Luke have many discussions/plans/ideas about how you would like your life to be before you were married ? Or did all of the farm/kids/way of life come to be slowly over time? We’re you both always on the same page financially, and do you ever disagree on things to do with the farm, like, getting a cow or goats? If so how do you work thru that 💙
The phenomenon you are referring to is Being Phoney. That’s a term no one ever uses anymore. Most people probably think it has something to do with an iPhone! Anyway, people being phoney, meaning presenting a rosy, unreal view of themselves, is an age-old phenomenon. The medium for it has changed, but not the underlying human need to feel like we are better than others. Better dressed. Better relationships. Better children. Better homes. There’s nothing new about this.
I feel bad that you need to buy a dump phone to not have to deal with negative comments from the different media you are on. I love to watch you and your sister. Love you both. In my opinion we should only lift each other up in the media world and give inspiration to each other
You can buy a GPS for your car, a Garmin is what is called I believe. And I am in the same place as you with your phone. I need to toss mine too.
I think people like your life in a day because they only want to think they are going to do the from scratch and hand made things you do. But reality is to much work for many.. Where if its a tutorial then they watch it to do it. Also your blog is great. And a great place to have tutorials. You are an amazing young women who's light shines clear and bright. I dont know whats wrong with world anymore to have so much hate. Didnt there momma tell them if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all.
Comparison steals your joy
I had no idea about this channel 🤯😍
We have to wonder why we care so much about what other people we don't know think of us. Twitter is the worst.
Lisa, you can post Instagram stories on your PC . We only have one smart phone and one flip phone. I personally , do not have a phone for the reasons you have discussed. I taught myself , however how to post pcs on our PC onto Instagram via a You Tube tutorial. Basically, your PC THINKS your on your phone, because you check the device/phone opt.
Tonight I had several projects to get done. What did the majority of my time go to? Scrolling Facebook. 😪
Now I feel behind. I need to sign off Facebook on my phone and iPad.
I'm an indie author, and I try to be transparent on my social media. I don't give away personal info, but I will say "It's a struggle today, but the sun is beautiful.." or something like that, and I've noticed I get a lot of interaction saying "I'm struggling too!" and people get to talking in my comments and it opens conversations. I also follow accounts that are more transparent and don't just only post highlight reels. I think, especially now, people want less of just the pretty photos and more relatability.
Yes! I have tried to buy a Candy bar phone but cell phone providers don't want to provide services to it. Please share, I want to do this... Thanks!
I have wanted to get rid of my cell phone! I get so mad at myself. It is literally a comfort to me though sometimes. Like when I am scrolling I fall into this zone where I’m just content and it feels like stress is just dissipating. Why is that?? I don’t want it; I want to be productive, and when I sit down in my favorite chair and scroll, I can forget accomplishing anything. It’s truly a thief. Anyway, this video resonated with me. How did you order your “dumb” phone? I have seen where some Jews call it a kosher phone. Just an observation I made.
