Madam Nice voice 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Amen! Loving your videos! Thank you for your encouragement for living a godly life! 💐

❤❤❤I JUST LOVE YOU AND YOUR HEART!!!!!!! Thank you for answering my questions!🥰 You don’t know how much I’ve appreciated your wisdom over the last few years as we’ve embarked on our own off-grid journey. And I love the old footage…the boys are growing up fast.🥹 Your home is just so cozy and inviting and I love the books! We are a book family too!!!!😉💗💗💗 Blessings dear friend and looking forward to the next one!!!!

Your home is beautiful!

Hello! So glad to see a video from you guys again ❤ Hope you are all doing well, been missing your videos, but I know how busy life can be! Lots of Love, Susannah Joy

A nice look around enjoyed the video, glad to see you back, Blessings

I have been trying to find a wooden spoon like the one your using towards the beginning of this video. Does your son make those for purchase?

We are also glad to see each of your new videos. Life has been busy and full of challenges, so I don't always comment Liyah, but you are in our daily prayers and thoughts. Life has a way when we age in looking for ways to stay simple but also somewhat easier as well. We use a 4-wheeler with a plow to do our driveway and to make paths to the barns, for years this was all done by hand. We now purchase logs by the semi load and supplement with other woods in our local area, this helps Mike in ensuring we get enough cut, split and stacked to dry for the coming season. The one area that still requires lots of our time is the garden, but it also supplements us from season to season. This year it's been cooler than normal, so it seems a bit behind. Looking forward the tour as well as we are so happy you are increasing your floor space; I know how much you all will appreciate that. Take care my dear friend and I'll try to get a letter off to you and family.

Hi there! So enjoy your videos. We are about to go off grid in Wyoming with four kids. Wondering what you do for health insurance?

Wonderful video, thanks for sharing YAH bless !

Great video Leah, glad you're back making them again. Look forward to the cabin tour.

Loved the video! ❤ This way of living is something my husband and I contemplate.

That was a great video!

Oh sad I missed the live video hopefully we can do the Q and A again

I loved watching this video so much . I so much would love to live somewhere that it snows sometimes.. We are in North Louisiana . I am 62 and my husband is 65 . We have 2 sons and we homeschooled also . They work now one is married with 2 children and my 37 year old son still looking ,. To many good Christian women anymore it seems, One is a medic on a Helicopter and the other manages a lumber yard . I still work partime, snd husband full time , I want to totally quit so much, my Dad is 95 and lives across the street from me snd so hard to keep it all going. Have another channel called “Just Judy Living Simply. I mainly want to work from this channel though,I don’t fully understand this UA-cam stuff .. anyway I just. Wanted to meet you again and tell you how much I love your channel..I love the everyday life you do that doesn’t seem rehearsed and such. Have a wonderful and blessed day . Judy💕

I have a spoon that RJ carved. I bought it from his Etsy shop several years ago and I love it! I use it all the time!

Great video.

Thank you Liyah! So relaxing and enjoyable to watch. I'm very excited about the updated home tour, Thank you for taking the time to make these videos and to share your lives with us.

Hey! Loved all the B-Roll, fun to see that while you chatted.

really, a hair dryer, says it all, fake

Thank you so much for sharing this! Full of encouragement and wisdom. I feel so incredibly blessed to be a homemaker and at 61, I wouldn't change a thing. God bless you Lea and looking forward to more videos❤

Do you have a problem with bugs or cockroaches at all and what do you do to make sure you dont have that problem? I am thinking about not having a vacuum cleaner.

👏 💗🙏Yes!!!!!!! On that note, I have some questions: -How do you like your new propane, oven and stove versus the wood cook stove? As we are wanting to transition to something else as well due to all of the wood chopping and my husband is disabled. -I was wondering how Ron is doing with his health and how that applies to the Homestead… I know you have the two older and then the younger are getting grown up as well but we still have a 10 and seven-year-old both boys at home and although my husband isdisabled, I am looking toward the future wondering how we can continue this off grid life with little men and small muscles, lol! Just wondering how you and Ron are doing with a thought of the future like that or if it is already in the thought process of all of your children living on your property. Looking for advice.😊 -now that the kids are grown up, you did a video before on pour over baths in the wash tub… How do you do it now and how does that work with the privacy as boys are growing up… Again asking for advice, we have a shower curtain and a door we can close, but we still do the pour over situation and heating water on the woodstove. -is your Etsy shop up and running as your full-time job as a family now and also is your older son still making wood spoons and if so, do you have a woodstove wooden spoon recommendation as using like a spatula/pancake Turner on cast-iron skillets?… I know metal is not great on it but I don’t know of any other option. -Will you be doing an updated home tour with the addition anytime soon? -Not a question, but just wanted to say I can see some changes in the kitchen and I just absolutely love your Hoosier cabinet, looks like mine from my grandma.❤❤❤ -another question and my final one is I know that you haven’t ever done a homeschool video but I was just wondering if you have recommendations on homeschool curriculum or things that have or haven’t worked for your family or any specific for special type of learners etc. Especially since you have boys as well. Our daughter is 26 and grown in another state and on her own and although she homeschool graduated, she is a different type of learner than our sons so just wondering if you had any suggestions. 💕 thank you again for all of your videos, and we always look forward to them as homemakers no matter what your schedule is!😉 trust me… We have all been there. Blessings to you dear friend.💗💗💗

Oh thank you Liyah! What a helpful video!! 💛 I had to chuckle when you said you have some early morning talkers. We have some too. ☺️ I’m looking behind you and think I see a set of beautiful doors and some framing done. I’m so curious how you have your new set up! Thank you again!!

As a man that does 100% of the cooking and the cleaning and 100% of the work on our ranch, leaning on almighty God for the strength and wisdom never lets me down.

A very productive, encouraging video. Thanks for persevering!!

We do have the ability to control our home atmosphere and if we choose to make it positive our families will respond that way as well but as you know negativity breeds negativity. I find myself listening to that still small voice and seeking to communicate in a calm positive way, verses how I was raised with a buildup, the explosion and then blaming everyone else for the frustrations I am dealing with. My husband and I also are still learning to communicate and that is key to having a healthy marriage. Marriage and family living is not always easy, but it is such a blessing when it's working right. I find that with age I'm slowing down and that causes frustration, so I'm learning to plan my days less full, and I find I don't become frustrated, and the things still get done, just not all in one day or even one week.

Hello, i’m 25 year old Christian living in Hanoi, Vietnam. I’m not married but I’ve always wanted to be and fulfill my role as a homemaker, a mom, a wife . Although I was raised to be a career woman and a feminist, I chose a different path for my future family . I notice that the more I show reverence to God, submit to his order for marriage and family (God the Father, God the Son, The Holy Spirit, Husband, Wife, Children), the smaller my social circle gets. And it’s sad that there are Christians think what I believe in is extreme. I’m so happy to find your channel that talks about the disrespect that homemakers have to deal with the today’s world. The battle happens in our homes. The target has always been family and marriage. Homemakers are the frontier warriors of God’s Kingdom.

Is this the same house from before very beautiful are you going do cooking again God blessings

Good to see you Leah, good video!

Thank you for this video. I hope you and your family have a blessed weekend!

Wise words, Liyah (love that spelling of your name!). I did not grow up in a Christian home, and it had to learn to have the law of kindness on my tongue. 😊 (still learning). As I tell my daughter and myself (as a kind pastor I heard once said), ladies have a specialty in the area of emotions. Also, self-control is a fruit of the indwelling Spirit, and He will help us with our self-control, if we ask Him. My goal is to have enough self-control to think of how to say how I feel respectfully, as you said

Good video, thanks for sharing YAH bless !

I'm 53 and have been married to my hubby 36 years. I needed to hear this today. I have been going through serious car envy. I work with people who drive huge trucks and all manor of sports / muscle cars. My Kia Soul just died and my husband is in the car business so he has cars that he could put me into but they for some reason don't seem to be good enough for me. I keep looking at cars I would have to take a loan out on and that's not the way we want to go. I don't understand why I'm having such an issue at this point in my life with this. I just feel like I should be able to afford a nicer car since I have to get up and go to work everyday. But in truth we are trying to pay off our debt - House and put up a nest egg to retire nicely on. When we were young and poorer, I never had this feeling. I would drive whatever ran and we owned outright. and it's not even just the additional car payment, it's higher insurance, it's possibly more gas then something economical. It would really take a big bite out of what we are able to save month to month. Maybe some of it is I have kids and 2 grandchildren (out of our 7 grandchildren) that drive better cars than me, because they do it with debt.

And we have the horros that HGTV has leveld across the culture. . . Everything you have said is true. Especially changing from looking constantly at others and comparing one's life to theirs, whether it be in magazines, television, and most of all the insidious messages marketing and advertising pushes. This need to feel special, or that we deserve this or that comes increasingly from this. It only serves one very small percentage of the population by creating an over blown importance on individualism to the point that it has crossed into egoism and an outlandish selfish self-interest. So we buy buy buy, but we also work work work, produce produce produce, and the bulk of the rewards funnels to the top. But as long as we continue to do this, we will further increasing the power and control of the very thing that causes us the most pain and suffering.

Hi Lea my beautiful sister in Christ. I’m 55 and you are really speaking my language. They do need more ppl in our age groups putting this kind of info out. The more it’s flooded with the worldly way it’s the more ppl will see that they have to live a certain way. I’m just trying to get the courage to start my channel lol. Thank you and have a blessed week ahead darlings 🙏🏽❤️

Yes and Amen! We are a dying breed sister. So glad to see another homemaker trying to bring family values back.

I just found your channel today@ I think it will be a real blessing to me. I loved your statement, “I don’t want a career because it interferes with the most important things in my life.” It’s my feelings, I just hadn’t known a good way to express it. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and being an encourager.

When I need a little inspiration I’ll go back and watch certain videos…love your home. 💛 On 9/11 I was in Mrs. Leak’s tenth grade English class. Lord have mercy on all those that lost their lives and the loved ones left behind.

I don’t know if this falls into the type of the questions for a Q and A but I was wondering how you handle “homemakers burnout”?

Homemaking and homeschooling was the most fulfilling thing I have ever done in my life, and now that I'm 55 and the children are grown up, I find myself having to work part-time. Uhggg... I truly want to be back in the home doing what I feel God created me to do. Can you make a video addressing these later years after the children are grown? Maybe how I can earn the money we need in order to still be a homemaker and not work outside the home? I would love to do that again. When I'm at work and talk about the wonderful years I was home with my children, and how that was the best thing a woman could do for her family & God, some people scoff at me. They just can't see how important homemaking is. They are blind and only care about themselves.

Do you guys have medical insurance through the Marketplace or other insurance companies?

Glad to see you again and your family god bless to your family

❤

❤🙏As I listen to this I am painting our boys room White, because we have no electricity and their room is dark… I loathe painting but prior to starting I asked that God would give me perseverance and a heart to love what I am doing because just like you said, we do things for our family and that is part of being a homemaker. Our goal in life as Christians is to glorify God in everything that we think, say and do and although I am 46, I feel like my heart and soul is so old and I was definitely born in the wrong year, lol! I feel like those who are older than me have either lived through the feminist movement or are definitely the biblical design for a homemaker but those are very very very far and few between and those below me are just getting into this “trad wife“ type mentality that you have discussed. Sometimes I feel very alone in this life when it comes to homemaking but one thing that has always encouraged me is God‘s word. I was not a Christian when my husband and I got married until shortly after and when he said I did not need to work and I could stay home, and also homeschool it’s as if the heavens open up and were singing to me… What you said about having a husband who is an encouragement is so wonderful! As a mother of two sons, and one daughter I wholeheartedly agree with you on raising sons. It has angered me as well this feminist movement and I just don’t understand why women don’t want a man to take care of them and love them so that they can come home to a beautiful home that has been designed by the queen of the castle, nurtured children and why even some Christian men don’t want to follow God‘s design for a woman at home. Thank you so so so much for this encouragement, I feel like videos, such as this need to be at the top of every Christian homemakers list…looking at beautiful videos and pictures of picture perfect homes is always nice. However, it’s not reality and every time I see one I have to laugh to myself and wonder if they have children number one and number two if indeed they do have children if their children are not allowed in those rooms, lol! Your videos are the actual kind of encouragement that I need so thank you again, dear sister! I’m looking forward to any questions and answers that you might give to all of us for responses. Blessings!💗💗💗

What a blessing. Thank you for this video.

Thank you Leah…always a joy to watch your videos. ☺️💛

Absolutely right glad someone willing to stand up for an American homemaker!!!!!!!

My life is a perfect example of both scenarios. I grew to adulthood in the early 80s. I was encouraged by our culture to have a career and yet my parents couldn't afford to send me to college so I put myself into every free high school office course that I could. I had my first baby in 1986. I worked while my child was taken care of by my mother. Thankfully, she insisted on that. In 1994, i quit my accounting job because after paying for daycare, my take-home pay came to $200 a month. By that time, I had two children. I stayed home with my two oldest daughters after that, and the third one came along in 1996. When people would ask me what I did and I'd say "I'm a stay-at-home mom." Their answer was ".....Oh." Their rudeness was pretty extreme. They weren't shaming me one but. I've often wondered if the feminist movement push for women to have lucrative careers, leaving their children to be raised by others was to generate more income tax money for the government. As i sat at a work lunch table out to here with my second daughter, the other three women I was eating with were all (and i mean all) lamenting that they couldn't be home with their children. One of them cried at that table more than once. Freedom to have a career? Yes, but shaming women who choose to stay home with their children is not acceptable in my book. While I can see the argument for women to have some job skills, as I had to fall back on when I eventually had to divorce my verbally and emotionally abusive husband, being a stay-at-home mom was one of the best decisions I've ever made in my life.

Thank you! You are right about the spiritual war going on. May God bless you and keep you ❤
