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!
I think a big part of your ease in housekeeping is no clutter.
This is the best most encouraging mom video I've ever seen, thank you!
I agree
Agreed!
I agree totally
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.
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.
This is the most real, real, real video from any CZcamsr 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.
I love your honesty and your fantastic attitude!
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.🥰
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.
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.
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 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!
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
As a overwhelmed ( at times) work from home full time mama with 3 kids, this is SO refreshing!
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 🤷
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
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
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!
This is great. That 3rd kid changed my house keeping as well. I'm glad I'm not alone!
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. ❤
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 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
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 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
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.
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
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.
I wish I could like this video 1,000 times. Lisa, I so appreciate you for sharing this. xoxo
This is so true. The more kids, the more relaxed you get about everything.
yes!!
100% agree! Don't stress over the small stuff.
Except I do love my dishwasher. Couldn't do without it! 😂
Girl. You are Wise Beyond your years. I’m so thankful for you!!!
Thank you so much for this! It almost made me cry lol This was so honest, eye opening and just real. I'm a first time mom with a 10 month old, a type A perfectionist and we just moved into our new home - I'm going crazy trying to constantly tidy up the house, cook 3 meals a day from scratch, clean, maintain and set up our new life and keep our baby entertained without tv.. it's exhausting and you've given me so much to think about as far as letting go of the perfection and stress and just being ok with the mess. Very much appreciated!!
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 CZcams 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.
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! 💓
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! :)
Look how beautiful and healthy your son looks! That just proves how well you are doing 😊
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!
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.
So articulate. You helped ME, and I am 70 years old!
This was exactly what I’ve been needing to hear. Thank you for sharing ❤️🙏🏼
I love your humility and honesty! Your laid back attitude is so inspiring to me! This is my favorite video of yours
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 :)
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 ❤
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.
CZcamsrs 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! ❤️😘
Good for you.
Young Moms and Dads need to know that everyone’s life is not a Pinterest life. Kudos Lisa.
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. ;()
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!
Thank you for being real...nice to know im not the only one who do not have a Sparkling clean house at all times! Love your channel
Your family and you are happy and that’s what matters ,, People always question the ones that do ,,,,, thank you for your videos ❤
Lisa, thank you. Thank you a thousand times for making this video. This validates me in a way I cannot even fully describe. I'm a mom of three little boys, I have no house help and make most of my food from scratch. You inspire me so much. I wish we were neighbours but I'm all the way in South Africa. You have influenced me - positively!!! Thanks for being real, thanks for being you.
Thank you so much!
Dear Lisa, I’m working full time,having three kids 7and under and recently being so stressed about not making everything on time. Stressing about mess,shoes and coats everywhere and so on. And of course if I went to a friend and her house was messy I would always tell her “don’t worry about it”. So why am I worried about it? It was hard to find the answer. As I listened to you today,it just melt my heart. Thank you. It was needed. We should care less. We all should. Our moms had no instagrams and they probably never focused on all of that,what we r trying to do now. Let’s just live. Lots of love and hugs from Poland!
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.
You are not súper mom, you are super teacher who teaches your kids responsibility and have consideration to a busy parents. Proud of you. God bless you.
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.
My daughter has 5 children, her and her husband have a home business, she has a great attitude, she is relaxed and keeps it together..
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 loved this. As a mama of 6 kids ages 9-2 I can relate so much. Thanks for keeping me real.
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!
I am a single mom of 5 (now grown) children. Three born to me boys and 2 adopted girls. I love children and families who really appreciate loving and caring for home and children. I love your posts! Hugs from a Mexican living in Montreal.
awe I'm so happy to hear that! thank you so much
This was the best, most refreshing, thing I’ve seen in a very long time. Thank you for your openness.
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!
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.
It's so funny hearing from other moms and knowing we are all thinking/ going through the same things. We feel pressured to have everything put together but I'd rather be a little messy and HAPPY.
You are awesome! It takes most of us a lot more years to learn to let go of the unimportant things in life.
What a refreshing and encouraging video. Thank you so much for being so honest ❤️!!!
thank you for all your videos. You are blessed with so much love and a beautiful family. I am so happy for you. As a senior citizen, I appreciate your honesty and the way you bring up your children together with your husband. I wish that for all the younger generations.
The washing dishes part, I love to do the dishes and have been married for over 40 years and never had a dishwasher, when I saw how other people with dishwashers had to do all that extra work I was happy that I went without.
Blessings all the way from South Africa.
This might be 2 years old but it was very nice seeing this even now. I will be having a 4 yr old a 2 yr old and a baby in a few months. I’ve been getting better myself on not being a perfectionist as my 3 year old wants to do laundry and her folding and putting away method kind of drives me crazy haha but I’m just so thankful she wants to be independent and helpful so that’s helping in a sense. I can see how having more children can ease that but yes this stage seems harder but having them is such a blessing. Glad I came across your account!
Oh, I would love to be so easygoing about the messes, I used to be like that...I have a very mess-sensitive hubby and he cannot stand chaos. 😕
Love your advice about focusing on just one project at a time. Can’t wait to read your book!
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 🙏🏻☺️❤️
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.
I am definitely not in the same season as you, but I enjoy your videos so much. I hope you realize the value of this video, especially to the mom's who can be so hard on themselves.
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. 😉
I know exactly what you mean regarding dishes. I understand what you're saying washing dishes by hand. It makes sense , you are just washing the same dishes. Thank You for your open and honest answers. Easy to understand the meaning of your explanation! Thank you!
Mama if 3 littles in what feels like the hardest season of life... thank you 💕
Kayla Villalobos bless you. When they are grown and you look back you will say...those were the best years of my life. Trust me, it’s true.
3 littles is a breeze compared to 3 teens. Trust me! Ha!
My grandmother told me the child rearing dats are definitely the most exhausting (but also the most rewarding). 😉
As I tell my daughter, this will all go by fast so hang on and ask for help when you need it.
Thanks Lisa! So honest and real! Love your style and feel very similar as you do now a mum of four. 👌
awe thank you
I appreciate your transparency. It’s so motivating to see a entrepreneur mom keeping things real and not being a perfectionist. I have a four year old and one and a half year old boys and I’m still learning how to have less , and do less. It is so easy to let idealism and perfectionism waist my time.
Love your encouragement and honesty! I have 2 boys, 4 and 6, and work full time outside if the home, and I have people ask me how I do it all and still cook whole foods. We have food allergies in my home (dairy, eggs, nuts), so I had to figure it out. Now it's second nature. Your thoughts on keeping a perfect home are so helpful because that's where I get hung up. 😊 So glad I came upon your channel! ❤
Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you for being so honest! This video gave moms such good advice!❤️
These was so needed your so honestly and real !!!!! God Bless you Lisa and your Love ones 🤗💞
Thank you so much for being so honest. ♥️
Thank you for this!! Transparency is so key to your brand, and I am loving this channel!
This may be my most favorite video you've ever done. Thank you for being real... This was just very helpful and encouraging overall. ❤️
I love your honesty. This made me feel so much better about how my home looks most of the time 🙂
Thank you for doing this video. Your no-stress approach is the way to go! ❤️❤️
Thanks for the honesty
This is such a wonderful video! Thank you for being so transparent and real!
I totally got that easygoing vibe from your vlogs, that’s why I love your content!
Thank you. I so needed to hear this! I now have a 4y.o a 2y.o and a baby and it’s so overwhelming at times and I really want to start all of these new projects and I feel like I just cant find time and energy, all I do all day is maintenance, I’m also a perfectionist when it comes to house being tidy so I clean a lot lol
Thank you for sharing.....we should be happy with what we have and attitude is everything. Remember your children are watching how we handle every situation.
What a beautiful honest video. You are so real!! I love it.
I love this so much ❤️❤️❤️Thank you for being so honest about your life. Love your channel 🙌🏻
Thanks for sharing. Definitely one of my favorite families to keep up with! You seem down to earth and I enjoy your style🌈🌻
Good for you! God Bless you and your beautiful family.
Thank you for being real and sharing this video. Everything you said is so true. All the best with the book!!
