11:47 what is the name of this song? Do you know the artist? Thank you!

I can’t find the English muffin recipe. Can you reshare, please?

I feel ya on decluttering. We still have to tackle the garage and my clothes but outside of that we have gotten it pretty much under control & it’s SUCH a great feeling! I didn’t realize how much anxiety and stress it actually caused.

I don't have children yet, but the traditional way to save clothes in France was to have the children only wear old worn-out clothes at home, so that they could play rough, and keep some "Sunday clothes" they were not allowed to wear without permission.

Hey, i wanna know that why does your baby sleep all alone in the room without mother? Baby needs the mother beside by him. It feels so good. As an Indian, i dont know the answer. Please reply

I am 48, going through menopause and my organizational skills are shrinking just like my ovaries! 😅I feel so overwhelmed at times that I don't even know where to start from. I yearn for a simpler life. This is so inspirational.

Your pretty!

We have 8 children and even though they tidy after meals, my evening after they go to bed tidy takes at least an hour every single night. After the morning rush I also spend an hour then. Once a week I do a two or three hour deep clean of the entire house. I home educate and this is why it gets so messy at times.

I have ADHD and menopause brain so I’m very easily distracted by the music in most videos…. No matter how great the content or how much I need the information I just can’t get through it but your voice and the soft music made it much easier for me…. There are so many wonderful people sharing helpful and inspiration content but squirrels like me need no music or light music like this…. Thank you 😊

Definitely get books by Gloria furman. Her book missional motherhood and glimpses of grace are so encouraging. I’d also get books by Sally Clarkson and listen to her podcast. Farmhouse on boone is the perfect teacher on RUclips for us in this season. Homesteading, homemaking, homeschooling, raising babies, being a wife…. She’s been nailing it with great content lately. Also two more books to check out “queen of the castle” and the Christian homemakers handbook book by pay Ennis. Can you tell I’ve been through this season already 😂 You got this!!

A huge help is when you “shop” your freezers have a place you put all your meat that you’re thawing for the week. Keep a dinner bin in your fridge if things you’ll use for dinner that night or the following. I’m in the process of decluttering and revamping our systems too because my kids are getting older and can do more so delegating things to kids is HUGE. We don’t have to do it all. We manage and run the home with the help of our family.

Your baby is so sweet

When our kids were younger we had a small section of play clothes in its own drawer. After school they changed into to play clothes. . anything they wanted to wear from the play drawer was fine because it was play time:)

😊

I love the diversity each meal had to offer from the previous one! Thank you for sharing!

Super💙💙💙

Thoroughly enjoyed this video

When I was a kid, we had a pretty minimal wardrobe. my mom created clothes categories. We had school clothes. We had play clothes, we would change into right after we got home from school so that we can play. These were the dirtiest clothes we had she didn’t care that they were dirty because that’s what they were for. Also had day clothes which were our nicer casual clothes that we would use to run errands or go to someone’s house where we weren’t gonna get dirty. As soon as we got home, we would change from our day clothes to our play clothes if we were going to go play outside or arts and crafts. we had our church clothes and these were our dressy clothes that we would wear to church or a dressy party and as soon as we got home, we would change into our play clothes. We also had night clothes which were specifically for sleeping. When codes became too worn out, they would go into our play clothes.

Can't stand the sponsoring in these videos.... it make me stop the video right away. Completely the opposite of the minimalism spirit.

I been wanting to do the same we make our own bread and jams and we garden . We buy eggs from a friend

Laundry - 5 tops, 5 bottoms and do laundry everyday! It’s been a game changer for me!!!

Love this!! Thanks for sharing!!

Great job 🥰

Have a few good outfits for each kid when you go to town. But keep 7-10 outfits to get dirty around the homestead. I recently reduced my own closet by 50%. This has been life changing.

To keep kids clothes fresh, you may want to have some clothes that are just play clothes that they wear outside and at home and if they end u a little dingy it's not a big deal. Then you have clothes for church/going out when they need to be more presentable. My mom had a play clothes draw and a pair of play shoes for each kid. Play shoes were often hand-me-downs or thrift store finds. Kids go through clothes so fast, it's not worth having an abundance. Each season they often need new sizes.

I definitely keep minimal clothing. We consign extra nice clothes(we get a lot for gifts) and use that earning to purchase clothes as we need, but definitely the key is to have one or two nice outfits and at least 2 at home outfits that can get dirty and a load of laundry every day to keep up with them.

I’ve been watching Minimal Mom. She is so good with decluttering!

I love this! I am in the same stage of life and its so nice to hear another mom has the same system issues she's trying to fix as well in her home. Makes me feel like I'm not alone!

Tip for kids clothes: Strategic shopping:) My kids are still fairly young so I pick most of their clothes. My daughter wears lots of floral patterns with a darker background, and navy or black leggings/pants/shorts. I add some bright colored warm layers for on top. My son wears darker pants/shorts and plaids or t-shirts with patterns on them in different colors. And nice solid color sweaters. Choosing clothes that won't show stains as easily really lengthens their lifespan. They still pick out some stuff for themselves, and usually go for things that are easily stained and hard to clean, but it's a balance haha. Can't be toooo practical I guess haha.

I grew up milling flour and the finer the grind, the fluffier the bread. If the grind is too coarse, the bread won't rise well. Store bought flour is really fine ground, almost a powder. I'm not sure how various tabletop mills compare unfortunately. Hope that helps!!

“Play”clothes and “town” clothes

Always love watching your channel Allie, keep up the great work. God bless from New Zealand 🇳🇿 😊

Flour in a shaker is absolutely brilliant!! Why have I never seen anyone else do this?!

I keep play outfits vs regular clothes. Just a few! That way the same items are stained and not new items

Is both kids into diapers?

Yes! Please people stop buying meat from the grocery store! Even if you have to go in on it with your friends do it! When I started buying meat from somewhere else I was shocked that it actually looked and tasted different I had no clue I thought I was getting meat from the better place

The crunch lab thing sounds great! Kids are kids and they love learning and having fun at the same time

Would you mind sharing your fully milled sourdough recipe? I’ve been trying to create one and I’ve not been 100% happy with the results. Thank you!

Check out Dawn the Minimal Mom. Her videos are a game changer.

Rug companies or a rug company have invented washable rugs. They are great for families with children no matter how big or small they are. Mess happens and washable rugs can be put in the washing machine and washed. I would go to the nearby laundromat because commercial machines are bigger and do a better job washing rugs than home washing machines. I wash it 2xs and spic and span clean. 😊

Hello!👋🏽maybe you could buy dark clothes for boys like greens and navy blues so they don't get stained so easily. Save the bright ls amd whites for non messy days or special occasions! But if the whites do get dirty, pre treating them and letting them sit for a couple days really helps get those stains out. Things like hydrogen peroxide and even diluted laundry detergents work wonders!

Hi Allie, i used to have a big problem with stuck on food on pots and pans in the past. I hated to do dishes after each meal. However, i realized something. This may not be for everyone, but it works for me. After i empty the pot or cooking vessel, immediately fill it up with hot water, pour in some dish soap. Let it soak until after dinner or before I go to bed. By that time, whatever stubborn set in food, will come off easily and effortlessly. On rare occasions, I leave it overnight if I'm exhausted or under the weather. Hope this helps.

When it comes to clothes, it helps a lot if you have a home washing machine. I lived in the city all my life. Apartment buildings don't allow own washing machines. With that said, what I did many moons ago was when my kids' clothes were soiled, I filled up a bucket with hot water and soaked it in hot water with detergent and vinegar. Left it awhile and checked it, stiring with a wooden stick. Pocked it until the remainder of the soil was removed. All of this was done in the tub. I got the clothes out of the bucket, put it in the tub, poured the dirty water in the toilet, rinse, and repeat until all of the soil is gone. Washed in the machine either alone or with other dirty clothes. It's all on the same day. Children don't need so much clothing since they grow so fast. In your case, they only need 2 pair of nice outfits for church or special events. Why 2? To pick and choose because they will be outgrowned before you know it. It will be time for another set. At home clothes 3 or 4 outfits each, same reason. Also, older son's clothing can be worn by younger so you will save money that way. Homeschooling children don't have to deal with school clothing since their learning is at home and they can wear their regular play clothing. Jackets and shoes. We only have 2 feet. So, a nice pair for church or special events. A pair for playing outside, and a pair to go shopping or anywhere else. For stay at home slippers or socks. That is all they need. When they outgrow their shoes and clothes, they can share it with younger siblings, other family members, friends, and neighbors who need them. Also, it doesn't make any sense to spend a lot of money on clothes or shoes for the same reason. It will be throwing money away when today clothes and shoes fit, and tomorrow it won't. By doing this, you won't have to deal with tons of laundry, they will always be clean and ready to wear until time to buy new because they have outgrown it. Hope this helps.

Hi Allie. This is the first time I watched your channel. I love the country lifestyle. I know it may be hard sometimes nonetheless, nothing beats being one with nature. Your video was so engaging, too short for me since I enjoyed it so much, but understandable since your life is very busy as I was when I was your age, eons ago, lol

As far as kids clothes, I never just had random shirts, pants, shorts, etc. When I bought clothes, I always bought a matching shirt and pants or matching shirt and shorts. When I did laundry and folded it, the outfits were put together and put in the dresser drawer together. This way my kids could easily pick out an outfit and dress themselves. I always kept two nice outfits for church and 7 to 8 outfits for school/play.

And we use this system for Bible memory! It’s such a great way to learn and retain. And they have simple verses in the printable pack. Or if you order the kit.

Some children’s devotion books we like are: Marty Machowski‘s The Ology, Sally Lloyd Jones’ The Jesus Storybook Bible. Beautiful and short stories to keep their attention.

Your bread had a heart bubble in the middle <3

Could you link the baskets you have for your eggs?! I live this system!!!

I'm in the same boat as you! This video was inspiring to me. Thank you!!
