Yes, definitely teach your older kids to do their own laundry. All the ins and outs. Have them a certain day of the week so they are not leaving their laundry laying in the machines.
Put compost in your soil and mix it. Then plant. Start with just tomatoes, cucumbers and beans. They are the easiest to grow. Beans grow in any soil just son't like cold or wet feet.
Love how I r so real GB 33:30
Oh please, lady! Quit whining!!!
I wanted to share with you a truck with hand mixer, punch a hole in center of paper plate (if using only one beater and two if two) and place beater through hole before attaching to mixer. I also do this with my stand mixer when churning butter so it doesn't splatter
Now that is SMART!
When it comes to gardening it’s all about knowledge. Research, research, research. If you have the knowledge it helps gardening to actually be enjoyable and worth the work put in.
This is so great!!!❤️
So stinking adorable
Oh Lane, how wonderful! You can make biscuits! When you come to visit, I’ll make the gravy. ❤😊
🥰🥰🥰
I loved the chat! I had you sitting here while I drank my coffee and started working ❤️
Oh how sweet! Thanks!!
The problem ? Not sorting laundry ? Or yall have a heap of it? Box up all but 7 days worth, yall dont need all that floating around
❤️❤️❤️
Ohhhh I love this so much!! How I wish I could go back to those days!❤❤
He’s talking so much now! Love his Monster Jam biscuit! Just adorable!
Lane is so precious and smart! He did such a great job! You’re a wonderful mother! This is adorable! 🥰❤️
He is adorable.
Do you mind sister, if i share your link in my community? God bless you ❤❤
I would be so thankful for that!!! Thank you!
This is about the most precious and cutest thing I have ever seen.
What a sweet boy ! 😇
He is just so precious!❤
I love prime day
Thank you for including us in your biscuit making session! Our boys are just about grown up and wouldn’t be caught dead helping bake. Enjoy these times, they go by so quickly!❤
He’s so cute 🥰
Oh how precious I loved how he got right in there and made them. The Monster truck one was fantastic. I smiled all the way through. Great job Lane.❤
He is adorable! Loved the video.
Thank you for your candidness ❤ Also, hair thinning/hair loss at 45 may be from perimenopause. Dr. Kelly Casperson talks about the benefits of Hormone Replacement Therapy in her podcast You Are Not Broken, if that’s something you are interested in 🙂 Edited to add: Dr. Casperson also debunks misinformation about HRT on her podcast, too.
My dr told me hormones make your chances of cancer greater.
This was sweet 🥰
I smiled the entire time. This was precious! These moments go by so fast for us mommas
I loved this ❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤
yum!!! And playing with it makes it taste extra yummy 😊❤
I use my spaghetti pot to cook my chicken carcas. That way, when it's thru' cooking, I can lift out the strainer part taking all the "leftovers" with it. Let it sit and drain for a bit before throwing out the remains. Love your tips and am going to try the apple cider vinegar recipe. Thank you for sharing your knowledgel.
My hair started coming out and it’s my hormones. 😢 Perimenopause/menopause.
That is an amazing amount! You do such a great job and need to be proud of yourself!❤️ Blessings to you and your family🙏🏼❤️
Thank you for the update! Your videos are very encouraging! <3
The Lord placed us in a realm where money is important and so we do have to be mindful. I love the fact you talk about this as I too pray to be a good steward. In my budget are maximum and minimium amounts to spend on nonfixed expenses and I have added another column , what I actually soent. I am saving the receipts and it should be interesting. Max is for months I have good money as my income does vary somewhat. Minimum is for months money is super tight
That is a good addition to a budget sheet!
I had the same thing happen with my hair and found out it was an iodine deficiency from using just real salt which as I am sure you know has no iodine added. So I added in extra iodine for a few months and then now I just use a multivitamin that has iodine and my hair is good. Oh btw, I love these videos and the real, honest talk!!
Ooooohhhhh. That very well could be it! Thanks for the heads up. I’ll check it out.
If keeping up with a physical notebook of your expenses is too much then an app might be a good solution. I use You Need A Budget. I've been using it for over 10 years (I started when it was an application that you installed on your computer). You can have the app synch up with your bank accounts automatically so you do not have to keep track manually.
One of our good friends loves YNAB. I know I need to implement it and I hope we can get that done soon! Thanks for the advice ❤️
@@homemadesimplewithlori I think they still give you the first 34 days for free. So if you don't like it, you don't have to pay for it!
This might help you out on your budget too: Try having a meatless night once a week. I buy a bag of red beans or kidney beans and turn them into these meals to stretch things: Start out with red beans cooked with smoked sausage( one link cut into half moon shapes will season them really well. Serve over white rice topped with some green onions and cornbread to go with the beans. Next take some of the beans and sausage (if any is left in the beans), and add them to make a pot of chili with by substituting the red beans & sausage for beans you usually use in your chili( gives great flavor and depth of flavor and seasoning). Next use some of the beans to make bean burritos with all the added condiments you normally use for tacos. Now take some and make refried beans to use for a taco pizza… the beans will be in substitution for the sauce on a regular pizza. Top with about 1/4 cup of ground, cooked breakfast sausage or beef, then top with lettuce, tomatoes and if you have then black olives and jalapeño pepper slices and serve with salsa. The next meal will use the last of the refried beans make bean burger patties: Add in a little bit of flour, dried bread crumbs and any crumbs of Dorito chips if you have saved them like I do( they can be used to coat and mix in with some many things). You shouldn’t need an egg to bind the mixture. Take an ice cream scoop and scoop up as many rounds as you can get. Place on a greased surface. For into rounds and press down to about 1/2” thick. Then freeze ( flat, greased surface) place in a freezer bag after frozen solid and you can make either just patties with Mac & Cheese and a vegetable or treat like a hamburger patty on a bun with some pepper jack cheese with all the condiments your family likes on a bun and served with some sweet potato fries with 15:41 a honey-brown sugar & butter dipping sauce…or just regular fries or tater tots. The chili can be served as a bowl of chili first, then as chili dogs with fresh cabbage shredded to place on top with your favorite condiments. Look how many dishes was created out of one bag of dried kidney beans. This is how I try to stay on budget…by seeing how many meals I can create out of one item and form my meals around it. 😅
Those are great ideas! I need to do a “beans” video!
Love the cooking and the talks. Thank you for always keeping it so real. ❤
💗💗💗
Do ya’ll not have coyotes? I would be scared that they would kill the chickens and your sweet cow! My sister told me about her neighbor’s cows killed by coyotes. 😢
We do have coyotes but we also have a livestock guardian dog who keeps them far away from our animals. I will never go without a LGD while I have animals. She is worth her weight in gold.
I’m smiling because I have on the same shirt! ❤😂
Twinsies!!!!
I would love homeschool videos from you. ❤
Oh yay!!
People with high blood pressure use salt substitute instead of salt
There is a really good RUclips video couple that might help you. It is called Under the Medium. It’s a financial planning couple with all kinds of help. Try them.
I’m already subscribed to Them! Thanks!!
Wonderful video! I always enjoy watching. Are formiliar with Castor oil? There's a holistic doctor on RUclips. Her name is, Barbara O' Neill. Oh my goodness, the wonderful benefits of it. There are so many people talking highly of castor oil. It helps in so many ways. ❤
I have heard of it but I haven’t looked into it at all. But now I will!! Thanks!!
Gardening is an experiment every year, even for a seasoned gardener so don’t give up. I have stocked us back up in July and now August so September and October should be low spend months for us thankfully. I just finished cleaning out a cabinet and found more beans and rice that I need to can 🤦♀️ I started in mid June. September I start back on peaches, pears, cherries(pie filling) and tomatoes(spaghetti sauce and salsa mainly). I think I am skipping apples again this year except maybe pie filling. I have a friend that loves to come help me can it all too and I share it with her and her husband(older couple). I need to find a good deal on pickling cukes so I can make a lot of pickles and sweet relish too. I am also going to be making my own pork and beans to can. I need to dig out all my jars to make sure I have enough of them. Great job on keeping your budget down and I hope you have a great time on your family vacation!!
Wow! You stay busy!!!!
@@homemadesimplewithlori I love canning and I bought an electric pressure canner so I can start it and walk away and come back when it beeps at me to do something. I am actually thinking about getting a second one so I can do more at one time and speed up the process because I can get 3 sets of quarts done in a day which is only 15 jars and it would sure speed up the process.
I meant complete shock that you're not using a budget. I disagree with just writing down everything you've spent because that's after the fact. I use the basic envelope method . have an envelope for everything that you spend and budget for including insurance, taxes, pet food, food haircuts, entertainment everything. when you get your paycheck, put the allotted cash in each envelope. When it's gone, it's gone no more going to the grocery store. We're no more buying from Amazon. That's the best way to curtail spending and stay on track. You can even have an envelope for savings. If I go to Costco, I use my Costco card since I have points and then I take the money for the food out of the envelope deposit it in the bank and pay off the bill before it even shows up at my house .
I understand and agree that a budget is VERY important. We have implemented a system that sends a budgeted amount for food and household items to one card. It is only for a few categories of spending and it is based on our budget that we have set. I have mentioned before how terrible I am about getting cash. I know I would spend less if I did. Maybe I will get in the habit soon. Thanks for your tips and experience! I really appreciate it!
