Ok I’m sure you’ve answered this before but I can’t find it. Where does Kona sleep? I know lots of big dogs like Shepard’s like to be outside even in winter so I was just wondering. I thought it might be interesting if you did a blog on the colony from Kona’s point of view. Where she sleeps, what she eats, who are her doggie friends, does she have favorite places to walk with you?
Giselle thanks for this unexpected vlog. Thank you for this vlog it uplifted my day. Thanks for the cleaning tips. When you read it’s so relaxing. You get lost in a different world. Thanks for taking us on your cleaning journey. Love the music. Have a great and blessed weekend.
Your channel is one of my absolute favorites! Please know that you are appreciated and so very inspirational. Thank you for sharing a part of your beautiful life with us 😊
What a wonderful life you all have,i know you all work so hard and it must be daunting at times especially when its so hot and you have to do shifts in the gardens so you dont become ill,but how wonderful to always have the love and security of a massive family, children have a lot of fun growing up with the the different activities you have,year round! You all pull together and put difference aside to love thy neighbour and always be willing to help when needed.. You are a true inspiration Giselle and i look forward to all of your uploads. Have a lovely weekend.
That song at the end took me back almost 50 years to my days in school. We used to sing that song and it was always a favourite. Thank you for sharing it.
I have only recently become acquainted with your UA-cam channel, but i love the peaceful nature of it..through the work or play or worship times. The closing scripture you showed was uplifting. Thank you.
Thank you for taking us along on your friday chores. Your videos show how all these small simple things in life can all be valued and appreciated. It's going about your day and finding joy in theses simple things that make life beautiful. Much love to you!
@@gisellewaldner9406 I am curious and have an off topic question. I was on a Hutterite colony in Alberta in 1978, they were pretty hardcore, no TV, radio etc IIRC someone told me they did have a radio for weather reports. My question is how does your colony feel about TV, I've never seen one in your blogs and if you do have one is it discouraged. Nowadays everything is content and your computer/tablet/smartphone is basically a TV. I really don't see a difference in watching content on TV or a phone. So I am wondering what the colony's guidelines (if any) there are towards TV or phones. It might surprise you that I had a career in network TV news and think the Hutterites I saw in 1978 probably had it right, and agree with one of the fathers of TV Isaac Shoenberg who said TV" was one of the greatest time wasters of all time, I hope you use it well". :)
Fridays no matter the season are filled with things to do, I love following your day and getting inspired to do the things I need! Have a wonderful week! ❤❤🎉🎉🙏🙏
That was a busy day! Lots of cleaning and laundry. I remember reading that book a long time ago, sometimes it is so relaxing to read and cuddle in a comfy chair with a good book! Kona is so loving and follows you everywhere ❤️Thank you for sharing your day with us 😊
Knee pads are a good idea!! I bought a kneeling pad. It's still a "haul" It's nice that you can help out in so many different areas. I need to clean a lot tomorrow.
Thank you for sharing. I always Use rubber gloves 🧤 when I wash dishes or clean the bathroom or kitchen. I like Mr Clean white rubber gloves even in the summer months
The first few moments with the light streaming through your room was so beautiful . You do such a wonderful job of editing your videos. Thank you for sharing
Greetings from Sacramento California 😊 I am a new viewer and it's a joy learning about you're Hutterite life and also thank you for the cleaning tip. I am definitely going to give it a try ❤
HI Giselle, great to see you again. Any thoughts on your 30,000th subscriber video? You bring so much joy to thousands of people and we appreciate it. God bless.
You might enjoy the classic The Silver Chalice by Thomas Costain. It’s a story about the cup used at the last supper. Well written and a good story! The movie in 1954 was horrible, though 😂
I love to see people doing laundry. I always feel l like I am the only one who cannot do laundry inside my place. I do have to drive to a laundry mat and pay, so you are lucky.
Giselle my friend, how exciting it is to get this surprise vlog! ❤ I'm excited every time you post, but it's always fun to see one when you're not expecting it. 😊😊😊
I've toured two colonies here in Manitoba with my children and fellow homeschoolers now. On top of that, I am reading a book on the value of community. It made me think of my tours to colonies. It is so hard to have community in my life. Everyone is so busy being independent on their farms or acreages! It is a tiring life sometimes.
I quit using coconut shortening or oil because it was effecting my cholesterol levels. Never had problem with my cholesterol levels until I started using it and was put on medication. I stopped using it and my levels returned to normal and no longer needed the medication. That was about 6 years ago, It was the only change I had made in my diet so was easy to figure out. (Seeing the coconut shortening you had reminded of this.)
Thank you, that was very interesting. I love using vinegar for cleaning, I used to do a lot of cleaning in the church and the priest called me "Dr Vinegar" and other people would think I was eating food when I was cleaning!😂The priest said the vinegar smell was bad for his asthma but I said that dust would be worse!😂. I also use vinegar as a hair rince as it makes the cutcle of the hair lie flat so it shines more and doesn't tangle so easily.
Definitely going ti try that coffee. I like to fast but can't drink coffee black. When you said you can drink it w/out cream I thought maybe I could too! Thank Giselle!👍💖
Giselle I am the same way about raisins. Nothing worse then biting into a cookie that you think is chocolate chip and it turns out to be raisin yuck. The only other place they belong is in trail mix
I needed a little bit of Giselle on a stressful day. I hope you’re not affected by the fires. I live in the southern USA and I can’t go outside. I’ve been having asthma attacks as well have a lot of people. I would come live a simpler life for sure on your colony. I’m over 45 so no cooking for me!
Lovely Kona, loves to be a lap baby. Sweet pup. I enjoyed visiting with your day and and yes, thank you for the cleaning formulas as well. Surprise, I wash with vinegar too! Also I like to use it as a weed killer for those pesky weeds that sprout between our pavers. Sometimes I have to "switch gears" from cleaning to do other odd bits as well, especially if it's a large cleaning job. Do the diene in your colony have to wash the cars too?
Have you ever tried making citrus scented vinegar? Basically it's just citrus peels (oranges, lemons, etc) you put them in a jar and pour white vinegar over it. Put a cover on the jar and let it sit for a month or so, then strain out the citrus peels. You get something that smells like citrus but works like vinegar.
When I read books, if it is mine, I write the characters in a genogram or family tree on the inside cover. If it is a library book, i make a paper bookmark and do the same. It helps me with character development when there are lots of players.
QUESTION: 1. What type of fabric are your dresses? They look so nice and never wrinkle. 2. Do little kids wear the same clothes and head coverings as the adults? 3. Do you watch TV or go to movies? 4. If nobody actually liked a tradition in your colony (ie ham sandwich on Sunday), how do you go about changing that tradition? 5. Does Kona get to come into the house during Winter?
For cleaning I like to use Vinegar and Peppermint oil and a bit of soap. I clean everything with it, including floors. I also live in Manitoba, smile I drink dandelion root tea, and I love it. Where do you buy the Dandi blend?
This vlog has such a happy feel to it - it makes me want to enjoy the chores I have this afternoon. Do you have a lot of deer ticks in your colony as well as the wood ticks and does the vinegar work for both?
Homemaker tip, please, Giselle. When you do laundry is there a pretreat you put on stains? I to love to wash with white vinegar. Wonderful vlog and always helpful!!
Giselle thank you so much for explain the Dadylion drink. I’m going to try it. Did the flowers in the woods come up? Thank you for the video. Hello Priscilla
What a wonderful surprise to see this vlog I so wish i could hire you to come do a clean in my house It’s clean but not as clean as yours Something i just haven’t been that good at doing
"Best seller" can be a misleading description: often books are bought but not always read. A NY book seller used to insert $5 vouchers in the back of the current best sellers but found that very few of them were redeemed. Love your peonies: it is a bit too hot in our part of Australia to have lots of blooms.
Cousin Doug here. Quoting Ecclesiastes 12 : 12; As for anything besides these, my son (or daughter ) be warned; to the making of many books there is no end, and much devotion to them is wearisome to the flesh." Why ? Our mind's energy is channelled into a different scenario, taking us into a lullaby state of mind, something to be avoided by Christians trying to walk on the way to salvation on the narrow and cramped road leading to life. Something seriously to think about. Regard's Doug.😘

Gilbaum, since you live on a Kibbutz in Israel, how does your community come together for work, cleaning etc ?
Kona is so sweet to wait patiently for you to come out of the laundry! She sure is a loyal pup! Have a nice weekend!
Have a great blessed weekend Giselle ❤️🌹🤝✌️💪👍🙋🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Another great video! Can we have a vlog all about Kona? How you got her, her favorite treats/toys, what she likes to do and so on?
Yes! Dog vlog❤
Yes!!!!! A day in the life of Kona 🩵💙
Did you see the vlog when Kona's best friend a cat named apricot were playing together. Its an older video maybe one of the first 50.

Thank you for shraring absolutley amazing, but appreciate what you do
Almost 30k viewers!!! Go Giselle!!
Thank you! I needed this. I am striving to just live in the moment. I think you do that.
I liked The Robe, also The Big Fisherman, and also White Banners all by Lloyd C. Douglas, good reads, all of them.
Loved to see a day in your life . I’d love to see a wild flower update 😊
I really look forward to your vlogs. You are a blessing

Thanks for another vlog. I have just completed my Friday cleaning, washing & ironing 🥵
Giselle, you are certainly a busy beaver! I'm much like you for I have to be busy all day...no time to be bored!
I love to see people doing laundry. I always feel l like I am the only one who cannot do laundry inside my place. I do have to drive to a laundry mat and pay, so you are lucky.
I loved The Passage when I read it years ago, and I am reading The Robe right now because of your recommendation a while back. :D
Giselle my friend, how exciting it is to get this surprise vlog! ❤ I'm excited every time you post, but it's always fun to see one when you're not expecting it. 😊😊😊
😊😊
I do laundry at the laundromat too. Saves so much time to do it all at once. I read at the laundromat.

I love Dandy coffee mix. Loved your blig!
Blog lol
Your mum is so fortunate to have such a helpful daughter, do you have sisters as well as brothers.
I like Dandy Blend! It is very close in taste to coffee. I also use Teechino.
Thank you for your video!
You are welcome
Bonjour Giselle merci pour vos merveilleuses vidéos
I was just wandering about your wild flowers and how their doing down by the river?
I needed a little bit of Giselle on a stressful day. I hope you’re not affected by the fires. I live in the southern USA and I can’t go outside. I’ve been having asthma attacks as well have a lot of people. I would come live a simpler life for sure on your colony. I’m over 45 so no cooking for me!
Natural white vinegar - use it also - stuff in chemical softeners is ...
It shows how all is kept tidy.
😇🙏❤️Thank you Giselle!
Have read that book Giselle, but there is 2 more books in the series. Very good story.
Lovely Kona, loves to be a lap baby. Sweet pup. I enjoyed visiting with your day and and yes, thank you for the cleaning formulas as well. Surprise, I wash with vinegar too!

I didn’t think we would see you for awhile 👋🫶
I've never tried Dandy Blend, but I like Pero quite a bit. Similar idea, but made of barley, I think, and not dandelions. :)
I love Justin Cronin. The Passage is first in a trilogy. I really liked them! Let us know what you think on it.
When I read books, if it is mine, I write the characters in a genogram or family tree on the inside cover. If it is a library book, i make a paper bookmark and do the same. It helps me with character development when there are lots of players.

Giselle will you do a video on the practical ways in which you use vinegar, please. We appreciate your blogs Giselle. Thank you.
I agree, Raisin Bran is the only place where raisins are acceptable!

How are your wild flowers doing? Thanks for share with us.

I recommend Francine Rivers as an author if you get a chance read her books!!
Hi Giselle, can you share your dandy blend recipe? I think viewers would like to give it a try 😊
Some people gossip in my church so much that it is damaging and turns many people away. Any advice Giselle?
Do you happen to have a link for where you buy the dandy blend coffee alternative, please? Thank you!
Is it possible to join a colony as an outsider? I have a bad left ankle but other than that I'm physically capable and willing to work.
Was that a PDF pattern for doll clothes? Lol. I may be spending a lot of time on sewing lately. 😂
For clothes yes, but I believe it was something that you could use to practice making dresses or the blouse part 😊
Thank you for another very lovely blog. When you did your laundry, did you use vinegar only?
