I think your lifestyle is exactly why we all love watching. It’s fascinating to those of us who don’t live like you. There will always be keyboard warriors who will criticise everything but like someone else said perhaps it’s time to start blocking people. We all take more note of negativity than the nice stuff so remind yourself about that too. Love your vlogs just as they are. Thanks for taking time to do it xx
Alot of other youtubers just warn you one time and if you get rude after that they block you. That might be what you need to do. Life's hard enough without you having to deal with negativity and rude people.
I think I like to understand that our way isn't the way for everyone, and try and be polite and realise that, because its fine that not everyone would choose this, and I'm happy to have constructive criticism! But yeah, I prob need to be a little more proactive in just getting rid of people who come back to be negative :D
I like the way one UA-camr put it (I forget who now), they group the “negative” comments into whether the person means well by it or if they’re truly just being rude/negative. I’d like to close off with I think you’re great, even if there’s moments where i may not do something the same (I live in Canada, challenges I face completely different) I still appreciate and learn from all the things you do
Happy Sunday. Loved this video!!!!!! It’s nice to see some of what you do during the day. I’m also excited that there may be more videos than normal ❤. I agree with others that you may need to block some that are being especially rude. Some just don’t have filters 😂. I keep saying do you !! Hope you have an amazing week. Sending love to you and your family ❤
Nyssa, I loved everyone of your videos first off, but I must say I am in love with today's style. I really enjoying the noise of your everyday life. It makes me feel like sitting in a friend's kitchen watching them do their thing. I completely understand if you don't keep doing them if you don't like it or have the time, I just wanted you to know it LOVED it. The haters can just keep stepping. Thumpers mom said it best, "if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all!"... can't wait for your next video lady. ❤❤
Hey nyssa I think people who are rude have way to much time in their hands to spend it criticising someone else cause their probably not happy InTheir own lives . They’re called keyboard warriors! ❤don’t listen !! Don’t give them the satisfaction they want! I can’t wait for the shopping trip super excited 🎉🎉have a fabulous safe week ahead ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Stuff any haters. Love your life girl. You just keep doing you and ignore any hate. It's just jealous crap when others feel less than. You are totally amazing and I'm constantly in aw of you and all you do while home schooling so many kids. I home schooled one for 3 years and no way did I cook and bake and meal plan like you can. You are amazing
Good Day Nyssa. I hope you're having a fabulous day. And you are a real person with real life happening. Just do what you can and it will all sort itself out. Ignore the haters if you can. They are, in my opinion, unhappy people who feel a need to criticize. Sad but inevitable.
Even if you lived in a 5-star house, someone will always have negative comments . We watch you because you are real and we love you ❤ i hope you and your kids have a fantastic Christmas
Great video Nyssa. It's nice to hear you in a more conversational way just going about your day. I hope the positive comments somehow lesson the sting of the ugly trolls. You're inspirational 🙂
Nyssa, love the long video. People behind keyboards say many things they would not say in person, they must have small lifes. Keep up the videos , life is imperfect and real and I love you show this , I see the “perfect” channels and who could keep up with that level of clean and organization??? Not many people. Have a blessed week. ❤Cindi
Some people are just so unhappy in their in life that they try and make others unhappy. I love all of you videos, but this longer unedited video was amazing. Just keep doing things your way, and we will keep watching.
Nicely done on the video - you are doing great! Be sure to add that to your New Years Day list of all that you have accomplished this year. As always, will be looking forward to the next shopping planning, pantry order and shopping list.
Hey Nyssa, your garden is coming along pretty good. Our squash plants took off and was covered in young squash. The next day when I went to pick some I found them covered with squash bugs. They started at the base of the plants and killed them all . I so wanted to open my chicken coop and send in all of my flock. My hubby said no,he said they will destroy the rest of the garden. We never use poison so, we just grow more in hopes we can get a few for dinner. Always something happening. Good luck with yours 🤣 TFS!!!!❤
Your life is Australia true life. We live with dirt, bugs, wild animals and non so called perfect life. We swat flies and sometimes they become a snack. Some of us have outside loos no plumbed in electricity . We hang our washing outside on a clothes line. Our water is not plumbed in. Nyssa lives the life I would love to be living.
Living in a caravan and cooking outside and having a “kitchen“ set up in a shed, I have resigned myself to the fact there will always be dust and grime. I wipe and wash things regularly and then when I go use things they always need to be cleaned again. People must think I don’t keep things clean as well! 😂 I know different though! I know exactly how you feel Nyssa. PS don’t get started on the flies 😜
I am so looking forward to having some cupboards that close so I don't have to wash a pot before I use it because its on open shelves lol, but at the same time, the outside of said cupbaords are going to always look grubby too! hehe, I know that my actual cooking equipment is clean, nobody is getting sick from my kitchen, but it can still be frustrating :D
A trick i learnt was to fill my planting hole with water before I put the plant in. That helps to destress the plant and help it get established! I cant believe how good you look at such an early hour of the morning! Id have hair sticking up everywhere, and I've only got short hair!
Really enjoyed today's video. Loved the garden progress. May I compliment you on how great you look so early in the morning..before coffee! I can NOT function before 4 mugs of tea. ! Lamination and the cat awwwww..gorgeous... Have a great day. Keep on being You..
We have issues with water to that garden atm again *sigh* the pump we were using blew a seal and we haven't fixed it, so we have to use the battery operated pump and it has no pressure tank on it, so you can't stop and start it, once its on, its running, I should have filled a watering can though and done as you said, I will have to remember next time! hehe, I've started using some 'protective' hair styles lately, because I was losing so much hair (hoping the diet helps too) so I have a four pronged comb that I use to keep my hair up without putting strain on it, it has made it much easier to keep it undercontrol, though it is only a bun that I always wear now hehe.
I'll have to grind up some icing sugar, they'd prob like that as a treat! I don't buy icing sugar often, though I prob will this trip because I need it to make royal icing for them to use for their christmas cookies!
I'm pretty thick skinned, but talking about it made me realise why I hesitate to show a lot of things I think, because its just not worth it if that makes sense!
A wonderful video. L9ved seeing the kids helping with the chickens. I too have trouble opening jars. I rap them upside down on my cupboard and they unscrew much easier.
I think the knife does similar, dents the lid a little to break the seal and make it simpler! I do have a few diff tools to help but I find that they regularly take just as much effort as trying with my own hands!
I'm so glad this one was longer!! I'm in hospital having a transfusion so it's kept my mind off things 😊 Meals look great as usual 😊 Seriously don't get the negatively around lately, I mean it's out of control. It doesn't matter whether it's online or in person, a lot of people just seem so self righteous and self absorbed and entitled and this in turn leads to them thinking abusive messages on someone's channel is a perfectly fine thing to do. It blows my mind!!
Hope you feel better after the transfusion! I think its the stress of existing lately, people take it out wherever they can, and I'm thick skinned, but I do reflect on it or dwell on it sometimes, its just one of those things!
I forgot to comment in one of the previous videos that I have better luck growing Calendula as an autumn flower in my hot climate. I start them about 4 months before my first frost. Thanks for the video!
I love hearing the kids in the background. Two of the granddaughters were debating with their Mum yesterday, about which one gets the yellow sponge to do cleaning. I just sat in my chair and thought, divine justice.
Nyssa, you are a wonderful mother and I think that is why enjoy watching your channel so much. Also because you teach me things. You taught me how to make dutch baby pancakes and I don't think I would have ever gotten around to making my own bread if it wasn't for you. I am also enjoying this new way of recording you are starting to do. I have said this before, I absolutely love your voice. It is so soothing. I live in Alabama and I sound like pure cornbread as the saying goes. Both of my children are adults now so I enjoy seeing you interact with the children. Hope you have a wonderful day and am glad you're doing vlogmas!
Lol, no time for finding the right lid! I must say, I'm very much looking forward to when the kitchen roof finally goes up, because I'm going to put a solid wall where it is behind me so I can have some actual cupboards rather than everything stacked on open shelves, it will make it much easier to organise.
@@suelamond4060 heh, I know :) it will definitely be nice to have a bit more organisation though, I traipse back and forth a lot of steps on cooking days trying to grab things etc atm!
You are doing a great job with your videos. Don't let the negative comments bother you. Shame on these people. Let's be honest it's life things are hard. But you are honest about your life. We love your family and keep doing what you love to do,cook and your crafts are awesome. Take care. 😊
Good Morning Nyssa, ohhhhh your new cameras picture is fantastic. I was going to ask you about the bush rats..... a learning curve with your garden beds but they did look lush. . Always believe you are amazing & share you life just the way you live it !!!!! It's just wonderful... 😊
I think it will really help me get some more footage! will still take some figuring out hehe. I haven't seen many rats this year so far, not to say we won't get more, but atm, they've been leaving things alone, I'm not entirely sure why!
Well everything in your garden looks like it's progressing well , says "me" who can kill a cactus🌵 🤣.. hope the critters stay away.. I am sure that the $ you spent on your camera is well worth it.. t The picture is fantastic.. Happy day ahead...
We love your videos because its so interesting how you live , people will slways comment but as my mum said if you dont have anything nice to say dont say anything at all !!
I can't wait till it is roofed, it will take some glare off the back of the house but we're going to fence and screen it all off too, so the geese etc can't get on there, and then it can be an extension of living space, which will just be awesome :D
Some unfortunate people like to try and put down others. You would have more positive people though. Believe me when I say, I love everything about your videos. I tell everyone about your videos. I have learnt so much from your videos as well.
I’ve recently watched a vlog by someone with over half a million subscribers. The lady lives in an immaculate, show home-worthy “aesthetically pleasing” house, her children are dressed and presented like little Next models, she never has a hair out of place herself, is always fully made up and beautifully dressed…but she still gets hate on a regular basis. My point being that these people are not criticising because of you or your lifestyle or your choices, they are doing it because they find it impossible to believe that anyone could do things differently to THEM - since they are obviously doing it right, and everyone who doesn’t follow their example is just wrong. I think it’s great that you are not the sort of blogger who constantly needs your ego massaging in order to continue, and that you understand that engagement is the important thing - not the content of that engagement. Reality is a rare commodity in internet land and we love how real you are, that’s why we keep watching.
Yes, totally, everybody gets hate for whatever reason, and I keep telling myself that, I am very thick skinned, so most of the time it just rolls off, but I think I was just thinking about what was holding me back and why and realised that the problem was those few snippets of negativity were really throwing me, and I had to get past it, and do what I was doing anyway! which is why I was going to use vlogmas to push that, to try and realise that I was alwyas going to get some negativity about something, and you are totally right, most of the judgement is purely because 'they wouldn't want to live like we do, etc' and is their own personal bias!
Nice vlog Nyssa. I found your voice soothing as you chattered taking us with you working your wonders as you do in a day. However you get your videos together is fine by me.
I know the negativity stinks, but I hope you can ignore them and let them be, because their views and comments help to push up your sstats. Head up and keep going. You’re awesome.
Ignore the negative we simply love what you do and we get to learn a few different things along the way .Absolutely love your garden and living off grid I wish I was young again. Anyway many hugs 🫂 to you take care wonderful lady ❤😊
A very good video. I really like watching what you are doing as you talk to us. Your explanations about why you are doing things a certain way are an education in cooking and common sense that I seem to lack. Seeing kids hanging out and working is great. You have good kids! Take care of yourself. Blessings my friend.
I think when I do voieovers sometimes I forget things I would have said while I was doing it, but at the same time, the noise factor of talking while doing is hard, today's video has the kids in the pool and its quite loud, so we'll see how that goes!
Hi Nyssa, loved the long video and this style of video and the new microphone. The unedited you which was amazing to watch you all. Thank you, so much for trying this style of filming. take care xxx
All the negative commenters out there are basically projecting their own ignorance and issues with themselves. You’re an awesome person doing things most people can’t.
Yay! I have tried tubers before but I didn't get them established well and they were so expensive to buy, so I decided to try seeds this year and get my own going, maybe I'll buy tubers again once I get this bed established heh.
Your zucchini plants look amazing. I hope you get some useable zucchini out of them. I cut off all but one male flower on each plant to encourage female flowers. I’ve tried hand pollination but by this time the bug has made its home in the stem and the fruit goes soggy. I still pick unpollinated fruit and cut them up and use them. It’s amazing what you’ll eat that you grew yourself that you would never pay good money for.
In Alberta Canada I noticed this summer there were very few bees. I have lavender plants that are usually covered in bees and it was only in the fall that i saw a little bee activity. I finally called quits on trying to keep up with the weeds. I pulled out the weed wacker, since the lawn mower doesn't fit between the beds, and it now looks like short green grass between the beds. Much easier than pulling the darn things.
Sonnet did that for me a few months back, with the whipper snipper, but we've run out of the coils for it, its on my list to buy some new ones, because yes, so much easier lol.
Mojitos, they're the way to go! Says the Irish woman who barely drinks 🤣 I could literally sit there and watch you do your magic every day! The things you share with us make us think how we could improve. My husband and i are looking at baking more breads as the kids love fresh bread plus, lets be fair, you cant beat fresh rolla or bread with soups or stews, or even for a hot chicken roll (a must try when you visit ireland!). Im loving the ghee idea with popcorn. Might chnage that iut from using butter.😋
The ghee has had all the water cooked out of it, so it doesn't leave the popcorn soggy! I forgot to mention the benefits of using ghee with popcorn eheh :D
Please don't take any notice of nasty comments. One of the reasons I watch your channel is because your life is so different from mine. The other is because you are always smiling even though things do not always go right for you. Some people like to feel superior, and they do that by putting other people down, just block them. I think you do an amazing job. ❤
I really enjoyed this format of videoing, you are chatting to us while getting on with your day and love the kiddos in the background… where did you buy the air clay boxes? My grandsons would enjoy them 😊
Nyssa there is Nothing wrong with your way of life don’t let Anyone tell you otherwise! You’re a great mom who homeschools her children and makes them tasty home cooked meals as well.. I’m not a big drinker either (even though I have been a bartender most of my life) But Baileys and coffee is pretty Awesome on Christmas morning..lol I have a homemade baileys recipe that’s pretty dang good..
I don't know that I've ever had it in hot coffee! I might have to try, I actually have a little bit in the fridge from last christmas, so I'm thinking I won't make any this year because Its not like I'll drink a heap lol
@@OurSmallFootprint Those are the best collections for bringing mom a smile! I have a couple trinkets mine made for me in his jewelry class on my desktop. Love them!!!
Happy Sunday, Nyssa! I appreciate any content you share. I love your place, your life and your family. It's bothersome that "people" (AKA Trolls) comment with no regard to anyone's feelings. The saying "Hurt people, hurt people" comes to mind. They are pathetic and it's a reflection of their lives. Scary about the lack of bees. The plants look so healthy (leaves). I'm planning my garden for spring - it's winter here in the US. Thank you for all you do. Much love and blessings your way! ❤
There's been quite a few comments about the lack of bees, which is sad, because we had so many last year when my garden wasn't doing much of anything! Thankyou! :D
If you are looking for more pour over coffee things that dont use the filters- look for the steel vietnamese ones. You can find them pretty easily online or in asian grocers.
I really don’t like the flavour of the coffee poured through stainless :s. I have tried I also used cloth ones for a while but they were so hard to keep clean, I decided the cost factor of the paper was worth it in the long run, as much as I hate the whole disposable aspect!
absolut vodka is my fave go to drink,i use diet ginger ale and a splash of lime, makes a mosco mule, cannot wait for the christmas parties haha and yes i,ll be tipsy lol xx
I pulled it out again today actually! I don't know why I haven't been using it! though I'm not sure if the noise of it will affect the voice recording, will have to get feedback on todays video
I am going to be honest and say I never watch peoples "Vlogmas" each day. I feel bad I haven't commented much lately but I work in a school (admin) and this is a crazy time of year for us. I am barely awake after 8.00pm most days. I liked this Vlog today though as the mix chatter was great.
I don't hae time to watch other peoples daily videos either hehe, but UA-cam likes daily posting, so sometimes it brings new people to the channel purely because youtube pushes the algorithm a little!
You can can milk and cream and make it uht. I like it waterbathed the best. To me it tastes the freshest. 1 hour waterbath. If you pressure can it, it only has to come up to pressure, then you turn it off and let it cool down. But I find that it changes the flavour too much.
We don't get it too cheap often and the UHT pricing is pretty cheap in comparison, so I could buy UHT, but I'm not a huge fan of the flavour tbh, I might give it a go just to see how diff the canning flavour is to the prebought UHT as an experiment, but yeah, I'm a bit fussy :S
People are curiously complex. Why watch if you don't enjoy it or feel the desire to be nasty. I thoroughly enjoy watching and I wish you all the best x
WOW! I love this style of vlog!!! It seems like this would be less time consuming on the back end for you too! I hope you find that you like doing it this way. As far as the negative people go, you need to just ignore them. Some people are just very unhappy and like to make everyone around (near or far) the same way. I even read that sometimes that it's a bot that makes these hateful comments. I follow someone on facebook that kept shutting down his page because of all the hateful comments. He found out that it was bots! So, maybe you can just pretend all the nastiness are all bots and just ignore them! Worth a try!
I generally just let it slide off me, but I was contemplating and reflecting on why I was finding the vlogging so hard and think about it and I do think that was part of it, that I was more concerned about those negatives than I had been in that first year.
I definitely prefer our currently lifestyle, warts and all, and there's a lot of them, but one day, we'll get to a point where its comfortable, and D and I can enjoy it and the kids can choose to or not! :D
I think your lifestyle is exactly why we all love watching. It’s fascinating to those of us who don’t live like you. There will always be keyboard warriors who will criticise everything but like someone else said perhaps it’s time to start blocking people. We all take more note of negativity than the nice stuff so remind yourself about that too. Love your vlogs just as they are. Thanks for taking time to do it xx
I agree with your comments, I couldn't have put things better myself. Have a fantastic day Nyssa and family
Ness get the negativity out of your life with the keyboard warriors. You don’t need their shit! BLOCK THEM!!!!

i am loving the "un edited" feature! its nice to hear you as your doing it rather than you reading it as you edit!
Your hair sure looked good on this vid. My hair is straight and straight! Luv your family.
Stuff any haters. Love your life girl. You just keep doing you and ignore any hate. It's just jealous crap when others feel less than.

We definitely have some mod cons mixed in with the less pleasant aspects lol, and one day, we'll catch up a bit! but its going to be slowly!

loving the 'real' footage of every day life

We have issues with water to that garden atm again *sigh* the pump we were using blew a seal and we haven't fixed it, so we have to use the battery operated pump and it has no pressure tank on it, so you can't stop and start it, once its on, its running, I should have filled a watering can though and done as you said, I will have to remember next time!

Popcorn sprinkled with icing sugar is delicious! I used to make piles of it for when i went on school camps! Everyone loved it!
I'll have to grind up some icing sugar, they'd prob like that as a treat! I don't buy icing sugar often, though I prob will this trip because I need it to make royal icing for them to use for their christmas cookies!

Those clay kits were adorable! The back deck looks great. Always enjoy your videos, great job! Val C ❤️🙏🏻
The kids have been bringing me all sorts of clay critters all day hehe :D
Wow busy day Nyssa thank you for sharing As a pleasure to watch 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Love from the UK x
Thanks for taking us along as you went about your day.
I forgot to comment in one of the previous videos that I have better luck growing Calendula as an autumn flower in my hot climate. I start them about 4 months before my first frost. Thanks for the video!
Actually come to think of it, they do tend to thrive later on in the season don't they, I will start more seeds for them past christmas! thank you :D
I love hearing the kids in the background. Two of the granddaughters were debating with their Mum yesterday, about which one gets the yellow sponge to do cleaning. I just sat in my chair and thought, divine justice.

Love how you just grab any lid that fits over the pot.
Lol, no time for finding the right lid! I must say, I'm very much looking forward to when the kitchen roof finally goes up, because I'm going to put a solid wall where it is behind me so I can have some actual cupboards rather than everything stacked on open shelves, it will make it much easier to organise.
@OurSmallFootprint wasn't a criticism .It was just quick thinking before they went everywhere.
@@suelamond4060 heh, I know :) it will definitely be nice to have a bit more organisation though, I traipse back and forth a lot of steps on cooking days trying to grab things etc atm!
@@OurSmallFootprint with that live blog we now see more of what your up against.
I loved this vlog! Love watching how you all live your lives. I learn so much about cooking and getting more creative in the kitchen!
Think of it as a Holiday treat, getting to see you and what you are doing this time of year, is special for us! Thank you 🎄
Nyssa, stay positive and just as you are. You're so special. Remember God loves you and so do we!
You are doing a great job with your videos. Don't let the negative comments bother you. Shame on these people. Let's be honest it's life things are hard. But you are honest about your life. We love your family and keep doing what you love to do,cook and your crafts are awesome. Take care. 😊
Awesome!! Everything you get done is an improvement for you all! It just takes time! ❤❤🙏🙏xxoo
Loved seeing the kids do their chores. They did a great job filming.
Good Morning Nyssa, ohhhhh your new cameras picture is fantastic. I was going to ask you about the bush rats..... a learning curve with your garden beds but they did look lush. . Always believe you are amazing & share you life just the way you live it !!!!! It's just wonderful... 😊
I think it will really help me get some more footage! will still take some figuring out hehe.
I haven't seen many rats this year so far, not to say we won't get more, but atm, they've been leaving things alone, I'm not entirely sure why!
Well everything in your garden looks like it's progressing well , says "me" who can kill a cactus🌵 🤣.. hope the critters stay away.. I am sure that the $ you spent on your camera is well worth it.. t
The picture is fantastic.. Happy day ahead...
We love your videos because its so interesting how you live , people will slways comment but as my mum said if you dont have anything nice to say dont say anything at all !!
Feel free to block fools and their comments. I live in Key West, Florida and I live aboard my Trawler. It might not be for everyone, but I love it.
I really enjoyed this new type of video. A lot of variety and enjoyed seeing the sheep and kitty
Ha ha ha One of the kids said stop singing you're horrible at it lol cracked me up 😂
lol, I didn't hear it when I was filming, but I had to cut it short for the singing a child was doing behind the camera at the end lol.
Great garden tour! Everything is looking good. The deck is a big plus too. Great seeing the kiddos again. TFS❤️
I can't wait till it is roofed, it will take some glare off the back of the house but we're going to fence and screen it all off too, so the geese etc can't get on there, and then it can be an extension of living space, which will just be awesome :D
Love it all!!!!🎉
Some unfortunate people like to try and put down others. You would have more positive people though. Believe me when I say, I love everything about your videos. I tell everyone about your videos.
I have learnt so much from your videos as well.
I’ve recently watched a vlog by someone with over half a million subscribers. The lady lives in an immaculate, show home-worthy “aesthetically pleasing” house, her children are dressed and presented like little Next models, she never has a hair out of place herself, is always fully made up and beautifully dressed…but she still gets hate on a regular basis. My point being that these people are not criticising because of you or your lifestyle or your choices, they are doing it because they find it impossible to believe that anyone could do things differently to THEM - since they are obviously doing it right, and everyone who doesn’t follow their example is just wrong. I think it’s great that you are not the sort of blogger who constantly needs your ego massaging in order to continue, and that you understand that engagement is the important thing - not the content of that engagement. Reality is a rare commodity in internet land and we love how real you are, that’s why we keep watching.
Yes, totally, everybody gets hate for whatever reason, and I keep telling myself that, I am very thick skinned, so most of the time it just rolls off, but I think I was just thinking about what was holding me back and why and realised that the problem was those few snippets of negativity were really throwing me, and I had to get past it, and do what I was doing anyway! which is why I was going to use vlogmas to push that, to try and realise that I was alwyas going to get some negativity about something, and you are totally right, most of the judgement is purely because 'they wouldn't want to live like we do, etc'
and is their own personal bias!
Hi Nyssa ,I'm from Ireland and I absolutely love your blogs .
Hi Anne, thankyou! :D
Homemade popcorn is one of my fam's fav snacks too. 💙👍🏻
Cheap, easy and filling! but also I love that you can change up the flavour depending on your mood! :D
What a lovely Mum you are making the kids popcorn in the middle of everything else you’re doing. X
Nice vlog Nyssa. I found your voice soothing as you chattered taking us with you working your wonders as you do in a day. However you get your videos together is fine by me.
That was really goòd Nyssa, I thoroughly enjoyed the vlog. Please do more. 😊🎉❤
I know the negativity stinks, but I hope you can ignore them and let them be, because their views and comments help to push up your sstats. Head up and keep going. You’re awesome.
What a lovely video! So homey and warm. Thank you!
Nyssa, thank you for being so honest. It reminds me of the life we had when we were on a smallholding with 3 adults and 4 kids - in Scotland though
Ignore the negative we simply love what you do and we get to learn a few different things along the way .Absolutely love your garden and living off grid I wish I was young again. Anyway many hugs 🫂 to you take care wonderful lady ❤😊
Nessa great job,you always work so hard.
A very good video. I really like watching what you are doing as you talk to us. Your explanations about why you are doing things a certain way are an education in cooking and common sense that I seem to lack. Seeing kids hanging out and working is great. You have good kids! Take care of yourself. Blessings my friend.
I think when I do voieovers sometimes I forget things I would have said while I was doing it, but at the same time, the noise factor of talking while doing is hard, today's video has the kids in the pool and its quite loud, so we'll see how that goes!
My zucchini plants have done the same thing the last two summers here in Texas. Many many male flowers with very few female flowers!
Hopefully if I open up the cage during the day and get in there and pollinate things they'll start pushing more!
Hi Nyssa, loved the long video and this style of video and the new microphone. The unedited you which was amazing to watch you all. Thank you, so much for trying this style of filming. take care xxx
This is my favorite channel now. Sorry American preppers :-)
All the negative commenters out there are basically projecting their own ignorance and issues with themselves. You’re an awesome person doing things most people can’t.
This is so true. I’d be blocking them
Loved this post. It was just what i needed today 😊
BTW absolutely loved the food prep -bread making/popcorn making format 😊
I’ve really enjoyed this format. Worked wonderful!
I like the new camera. Loved this vlog. Block the negative people.
Don’t let those grouches ruin your day. What you do is great and different. People who say they hate your life really hate their own life
Kahlua and soda is really nice too.
oh, i'll have to try! we have the soda stream, I think I forget that you can have the soda water unflavoured with things lol. thankyou :D
Loving this video and all the others too. I started dahlias from seed this year for the first time and they are flowering.
Yay! I have tried tubers before but I didn't get them established well and they were so expensive to buy, so I decided to try seeds this year and get my own going, maybe I'll buy tubers again once I get this bed established heh.
The video and audio quality of this DITL was amazing! A very good investment on your part, Nyssa.
Great video, thank you
Your zucchini plants look amazing. I hope you get some useable zucchini out of them. I cut off all but one male flower on each plant to encourage female flowers. I’ve tried hand pollination but by this time the bug has made its home in the stem and the fruit goes soggy. I still pick unpollinated fruit and cut them up and use them. It’s amazing what you’ll eat that you grew yourself that you would never pay good money for.
In Alberta Canada I noticed this summer there were very few bees. I have lavender plants that are usually covered in bees and it was only in the fall that i saw a little bee activity. I finally called quits on trying to keep up with the weeds. I pulled out the weed wacker, since the lawn mower doesn't fit between the beds, and it now looks like short green grass between the beds. Much easier than pulling the darn things.
Sonnet did that for me a few months back, with the whipper snipper, but we've run out of the coils for it, its on my list to buy some new ones, because yes, so much easier lol.
Mojitos, they're the way to go! Says the Irish woman who barely drinks 🤣
I could literally sit there and watch you do your magic every day! The things you share with us make us think how we could improve.
My husband and i are looking at baking more breads as the kids love fresh bread plus, lets be fair, you cant beat fresh rolla or bread with soups or stews, or even for a hot chicken roll (a must try when you visit ireland!).
Im loving the ghee idea with popcorn. Might chnage that iut from using butter.😋
The ghee has had all the water cooked out of it, so it doesn't leave the popcorn soggy! I forgot to mention the benefits of using ghee with popcorn eheh :D
@OurSmallFootprint right, that's me sold! Need to get to a store that sells it 😋
Please don't take any notice of nasty comments. One of the reasons I watch your channel is because your life is so different from mine. The other is because you are always smiling even though things do not always go right for you. Some people like to feel superior, and they do that by putting other people down, just block them. I think you do an amazing job. ❤
I really enjoyed this style of video
You look beautiful today!!
I really enjoyed this format of videoing, you are chatting to us while getting on with your day and love the kiddos in the background… where did you buy the air clay boxes? My grandsons would enjoy them 😊
They were just from Kmart! and I got the extra air dry clay from amazon :D
Nyssa there is Nothing wrong with your way of life don’t let Anyone tell you otherwise! You’re a great mom who homeschools her children and makes them tasty home cooked meals as well..
I’m not a big drinker either (even though I have been a bartender most of my life) But Baileys and coffee is pretty Awesome on Christmas morning..lol
I have a homemade baileys recipe that’s pretty dang good..
I don't know that I've ever had it in hot coffee! I might have to try, I actually have a little bit in the fridge from last christmas, so I'm thinking I won't make any this year because Its not like I'll drink a heap lol
You just made my day your on. From Iowa❤❤❤❤
Hi! Love the long form video and real time chatting!! Those dry clay animals are adorable!!! Happy Sunday!!
Sonnet has made a collection for me to sit on top of my printer lol!
@@OurSmallFootprint Those are the best collections for bringing mom a smile! I have a couple trinkets mine made for me in his jewelry class on my desktop. Love them!!!
Really enjoyed watching this Nyssa ❤
I like the new format. Great job!
Homemade Kahlua. Oh boy. Can’t mention that in front of my now husband. He had challenging time shall I say, with said homemade drink. 😂
Lol, but nummy! :D
Enjoy watching your VLOGS
Nice… thank you for sharing ❤
You know i love you ❤❤❤. Keep going, youre amazing xx
Happy Sunday, Nyssa! I appreciate any content you share. I love your place, your life and your family. It's bothersome that "people" (AKA Trolls) comment with no regard to anyone's feelings. The saying "Hurt people, hurt people" comes to mind. They are pathetic and it's a reflection of their lives.
Scary about the lack of bees. The plants look so healthy (leaves). I'm planning my garden for spring - it's winter here in the US.
Thank you for all you do. Much love and blessings your way! ❤
There's been quite a few comments about the lack of bees, which is sad, because we had so many last year when my garden wasn't doing much of anything!
Thankyou! :D
If you are looking for more pour over coffee things that dont use the filters- look for the steel vietnamese ones. You can find them pretty easily online or in asian grocers.
I really don’t like the flavour of the coffee poured through stainless :s. I have tried I also used cloth ones for a while but they were so hard to keep clean, I decided the cost factor of the paper was worth it in the long run, as much as I hate the whole disposable aspect!
The camera is very clear for the footage looks good
it has a very wide angle, which will take getting used to, but I'm very happy with it so far :D. Much more compact to move around with me.
@@ykook7000 right? My first thought before she even mentioned the new camera was like wow, the video quality!
I received my order today. Thanks! So quick too.
Yay! I'm glad everyones things are arriving well in time for Christmas!
absolut vodka is my fave go to drink,i use diet ginger ale and a splash of lime, makes a mosco mule, cannot wait for the christmas parties haha and yes i,ll be tipsy lol xx
Oooh, I'll grab some ginger ale and try that, one of my fave drinks is vanilla absolut with lemonade and a splash of lime, yum yum!
Try it with a splash of cranberry juice that’s really good too..
Lamington is growing very well!
She’s huge! We need a friend for her, and we need a night pen for her so I can get her off my patio now she’s weaned lol
You used to have your really strong fan on when you were working in summer and it stopped the flies from settling on the meat.
I pulled it out again today actually! I don't know why I haven't been using it! though I'm not sure if the noise of it will affect the voice recording, will have to get feedback on todays video
I am going to be honest and say I never watch peoples "Vlogmas" each day. I feel bad I haven't commented much lately but I work in a school (admin) and this is a crazy time of year for us. I am barely awake after 8.00pm most days. I liked this Vlog today though as the mix chatter was great.
I don't hae time to watch other peoples daily videos either hehe, but UA-cam likes daily posting, so sometimes it brings new people to the channel purely because youtube pushes the algorithm a little!
You can can milk and cream and make it uht. I like it waterbathed the best. To me it tastes the freshest. 1 hour waterbath. If you pressure can it, it only has to come up to pressure, then you turn it off and let it cool down. But I find that it changes the flavour too much.
We don't get it too cheap often and the UHT pricing is pretty cheap in comparison, so I could buy UHT, but I'm not a huge fan of the flavour tbh, I might give it a go just to see how diff the canning flavour is to the prebought UHT as an experiment, but yeah, I'm a bit fussy :S
@ That makes sense 😊 I think my homecanned milk tastes better than bought uht milk. But only if it is waterbathed. Love you and your videos ♥️
@@vesters08 I'll have to do a comparison heh :D
People are curiously complex. Why watch if you don't enjoy it or feel the desire to be nasty. I thoroughly enjoy watching and I wish you all the best x
I have never understood that, why watch if you don't enjoy it!
Loved the video great job.😊
Becky from Acre Homestead grew Dahlias from seed this year, maybe you could look as her vlogs to see how she got on.❤
WOW! I love this style of vlog!!! It seems like this would be less time consuming on the back end for you too! I hope you find that you like doing it this way. As far as the negative people go, you need to just ignore them. Some people are just very unhappy and like to make everyone around (near or far) the same way. I even read that sometimes that it's a bot that makes these hateful comments. I follow someone on facebook that kept shutting down his page because of all the hateful comments. He found out that it was bots! So, maybe you can just pretend all the nastiness are all bots and just ignore them! Worth a try!
I generally just let it slide off me, but I was contemplating and reflecting on why I was finding the vlogging so hard and think about it and I do think that was part of it, that I was more concerned about those negatives than I had been in that first year.
Zucchini will be ok if you trim the leaves off and leave 3-4 leaves each plant
I gave it a really hard prune the other day, I will prune it again soon :D
@ they grow so quickly
lol that a long one for a vlog :) great watch realy enjoyed it
Far longer than I realised it was going to be!
U and your family are very special . I luv the way u live .it's much better then this rat race that most of us live
I definitely prefer our currently lifestyle, warts and all, and there's a lot of them, but one day, we'll get to a point where its comfortable, and D and I can enjoy it and the kids can choose to or not! :D
