Love your energy and motivation! I'm 70 and never had help with cleaning my home, but lately I have hired my granddaughter to help a few days a month. I'm blessed to have her help!

The moment when you told us about your apron pocket i smiled...my mum use to do that when we were little. I am also one of six kids and grew up on a farm.those were the best days of my life

I don't use cleaning products on glass. I simply use a water dampened microfiber cloth to clean the glass, then a dry microfiber cloth to dry the glass. Other than smudges from children or pets, which I clean individually, I need to clean my windows less often. Any product whether it's a vinegar based or alcohol based, will leave an unseen residue which actually attracts particles to the glass. I do love using lemon juice though for goopy messes, water spots, or copper pots, and it smells nice too. Thank you for another refreshing and wholesome video. Take care of yourself. 🌻

My cleaning product is vinegar + water. Works for nearly everything! Thanks, Lisa. Your home feels inviting.

Thank you for sharing what you use that is homemade and environmentally sound to be using.

I’ve watched your channel for years and have been recently binging your videos. I’ve gotten so much inspiration from you. Thank you. ALSO, *You’re hair looks cute in a bun*

I love all of your natural cleaning recipes. I make some of my own, but never would have thought of adding salt. I hate to throw you a curve ball, but steam cleaning wood floors is a huge no-no! Over time, it can/will warp them. Also, never use vinegar on wood floors because it will strip the urethane. After researching how best to clean and preserve my almost-100-year-old wood floors, I decided to use a Bona mop, together with their solution designed specifically for wood floors. Whoever refinished your wood floors did such a beautiful job that I would hate to see them messed up. (Hilary, of Old World Home, also uses a Bona mop.) Steam cleaners are great for ceramic tile floors. ❤

I do that quarantine style declutter with my son but my apartment is small with little storage space to hide things so I put the stuff in the trunk of my car for a few weeks before taking it to donate. If he freaks out and realizes something is missing then I can just go get it, if he doesnt then its all ready in the car to take to donation lol. 90% of the time he never notices the forgotten toy.

cleanam an empty nester but you are such an inspiration for home making even fir us who don't have children to clean up after.

[canadiangirl]

We have 40 acres and a large Sea Can for storage of things we don't want in the house. I didn't get rid of my kids toys. Now they're all vintage and my little grandchildren are playing with them. The quality of the old toys tops what's being made now. I'm so happy I kept them.

Missed this vid! Happy to have found it! Aprons are everything - like baskets they are part of the American women's history! Thank-you!

I used to have several sets of French doors. They’re beautiful but I absolutely do not miss cleaning them!

Your home and approach for cleaning is so relatable to me as a homeschooling family of 5 who lives on a farm in Texas. Our home just does not stay spotless because my kids and husband are constantly in and out and bringing in dirt and such. And don't get me started on the dog hair! I "enjoy" watching videos with an impossibly clean and minimal aesthetic (you know the ones. The ones that look like one actually lives there) but it leaves me feel frustrated when my home can't keep up with that standard. It is chasing something that isn't realistic and it is easy to forget that homes are there to serve US and they will get banged up and messed on in the process. It's normal for it not to be 100% spotless all the time Thanks, Lisa for showing how to you care for a REAL and BEAUTIFUL home!

I really appreciated the natural cleaning supplements you shared, sometimes it's just not necessary to use all those harmful chemicals in your living space.

[Haley_Wozniak]

Lisa, I made your new sourdough bread recipe and I was absolutely blown away from the results. I've tried so many other recipes and never got it something so delicious and easy.

[MennoniteFarmhouse]

I started using grove when Lisa first introduced it in her channel and still order from Grove but I found a new love for cleaning My hard wood floors, walls, ceilings and windows is Norwex! Just the product with water is all you really need to get everything clean! I truly love it how I don’t have to carry a mop bucket around.

My son has a bazillion pieces of cardboard in his room! He is constantly cutting it up and making things (he keeps me busy with hot gluing it together haha!). I love how he is so creative but it drives me crazy with it everywhere!

[sarahdowling]

I love all of your videos but would love to watch one on how you use/clean/keep your butcher block cutting board!
