    You’re just like your sister Lisa, so much energy. I really enjoyed all that you made today. Do you always make big meals for lunch. I was brought up eating a sandwich for lunch when I was little and that may have been bc I went to school each day. Anyhow, just wondering if you had a big lunch bc you had soccer that night. That may have been the reason. Our big meal of the day was always for dinner at 5ish.

    I feel exactly the same way about waffles! I love them but after 1,000 messes no matter how hard I try, it’s a no😂
    Also realizing how true the fat thing is… my 3 year old is naturally skinny and some of her favorite foods are butter, cream cheese, and peanut butter😂😂 if I put them on anything, she licks them off and then asks for more.

    What do you use as a bleach substitute? My sink is an older style made of…porcelain, maybe?? It gets so discolored and dingy looking every few days, and the only thing that I’ve found to whiten it back up is bleach, which I’d rather not use. But nothing else is working. 😕 Thoughts?

    Laura, I absolutely love your channel!! It is so real… You are also super inspiring!! I've actually often tried a couple of the recipes you've mentioned in your videos…such as the one for beef tips and gravy which you used stewing meat for! Anyway, I'm a mama to an almost two year old boy, and I love homemaking and doing things as natural and from scratch as I can. You've motivated me to make small natural swaps here and there, and I've done so many this year alone!! Thank you!

    Wow. It amazes me how much is home made . Very commendable !!
    When it comes to white potatoes, I never ever peel them. There is so much nutrition & flavor in the skins.Not peeling them saves time as well. I will acknowledge some people don't care for the skin of potatoes, but in our household, we love them.
    What this young woman who is the mother to a large family accomplishes daily ……Wow. And that sun porch…..absolutely love it. Beautiful home, beautiful family.
    By the way, I have loved washing dishes by hand my entire life & I'm 75. Just something about it !
    We are huge fans of pumpkin, too !! YUM.

    I understand doing clean up as you go, yet I think filling the sink with hot soapy water would be easier that squirting each item. When you make waffles have the kids help, make enough to freeze into the future. My husband harvested acorns and made flour which he has made into acorn waffle mix and we always have these made up in the freezer. So make a batch now and one for later. Also good for snacks, the kids can heat in toaster.
