"I get more cleaning done in the ten minutes before someone comes over than I do all week" ..reminded me of this. Haha..I've heard it called "social-grease" ..a great motivator. :)
So true!
Yep! I am a procrastinator who needs a deadline. Having guests over is the only thing that keeps our house clean. Not because I like to show off, I just need a push. I like the phrase social grease.
Lisa, I've been a fan/subscriber for about 2 years now, and I just stumbled upon this video.....I'm a MEGA FAN of you and just LOOOOOOOVED THIS VIDEO. You continue to amaze and delight me with your charm, creativity, and warmth. What a sweet hostess you are. I'm 65 years young, single and no kids, and you've shown another side of life that's so beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I really appreciate that! Thanks for watching.
I decided this Christmas to gift our ( very adult) children this bedding. I think a luxury set of sheets, etc, is a gift they would never purchase for themselves.
You’re right, of course & know what? They’ll probably never even think of buying new bedding themselves until they leave home!
@@chrissiewindsor Haha...my two are in their early 40's...but they still could not /would not get luxury bedding. My dad grew up VERY POOR, and to him, good food and a good night's sleep were VERY important. It gets hard to shop fo these two, so I think the bedding will be good.
There’s nothing like having overnight guests to inspire the last minute projects! Looks like you had a great time.
Room darkening inexpensive old school shades like your great grandma used will help DRASTICALLY with keeping the temp down on hot summer days. They knew how to keep the house cool and dark to prevent all that sunlight from heating up the house.
AGREE!
Yep, blinds go down and windows closed on our hot days. No AC for us in this house.
Lisa, you make me feel inadequate in so many ways! I love going on your shopping trips with you, watching you cook, paint & change all the bedding plus hemming the curtains? Really? I feel about an inch high! (Only joking, but I do admire you so much.) my house was never as beautiful as yours, tho I had no children. What I did have was students! Coming out of my ears, so I usually arrived home looking like a Bosnian bag lady I once saw on tv. I taught English Literature, & changed up my books every two years, tops, cos if I’m bored, my students will be bored, right? So most of my house was filled with folders, photocopying, books, of course, then I had my two step kids at weekend, tiny flat, no room to clean! So I learned not to see the spider webs on the ceiling & the skirting boards …and most of what was in the middle. I admire you tremendously!
Everybody's on board helping get ready! Nice
I thought I may be the only person that hems curtains when they are already hung on the window. You make me feel so much better about the 'shortcuts' I make.
Hey if it works!
It’s so refreshing to see the reality of nicks and scratches that come with living in a home. I’m a first time home owner and have sometimes felt overwhelmed by the natural wear and tear that happens. It’s encouraging to see that a bit of elbow grease and love and attention is all you need to keep a home fresh! Thanks for the reminder!
Every time i see Ruth i remember the first time i found your channel, it was her birthday and she was so sweet and generous with her siblings! And her present was a bundle of fabric! All your kiddos are amazing but she's so special
Seeing wear and tear makes me feel a lot better about my house with 4 kids.
Aww! What a sweet time with your friends!,
I would’ve done the same thing as you and spruce up the place. That’s just what women do when having friends over. I had 5 children and trying to get ready for my family to visit from California and I live in Florida. I wanted my house to look nice and fresh, too!
It’s difficult when my husband was out to sea but I made it happen:). It was a great time. God bless you and your beautiful family. 🙏💕🏆👏
Having COMPANY is the best excuse for doing deep cleaning and sprucing up the house!
Its worth all the hard work having such lovely kids as you do.....Micah is a star😊
And baby Theodore is just precious! What a sweet baby!! I have a brother named Theodore!!
I’m an empty nester and an early widow, and I’m perpetually finding things around my 101 y/o English cottage (in L.A.) that need to be fixed or replaced. It’s a never-ending chase keeping up with a house! 😂
Great video. I think we are all the same. We go on with our daily life not really noticing the little things. BUT then we realize that friends are coming & we notice all those little things that we think we should of done but had other things to do instead. You have a lovely, warm & welcoming home.
I'm sure everyone had a great time.
Not should have done
COULD have
U chose other, better, things
Ur family and their needs!
It will all wait for u, trust me (57yo mom w/2 still here)
Looks like a wonderful time with a beautiful group of ladies. I love when you take us along on your trips. Take care and God bless. 😀❤️
I loved the smile on your face in the van while Micah was talking!
I too when I have company I go an extra mile making things looking good.
LOL, I always use guest coming as a motivation to get project that I've procrastinated on done!!! ; )
I love you little boy peeping his head in to say hi 😁
you're so brave to do all that painting with you're littles so near!😅
Love guests for motivation to do things you want done anyway. Everything looked fresh and nice. You are all adorable, and your gathering looked like such fun!
What a fabulous time spent with friends! I love your home and especially the guest cottage. 😃
I'm glad I'm not the only one that gets motivated from guests coming to get after some things that seem to linger . . . . everthing looks great and I'm glad you got a chance to spend some time with this terrific group of ladies. I love you all. You inspire me.
Oh Lisa my little man Micah is soooooo big and Daniel and the baby your such a wonderful mom
You are the busiest woman I have ever seen!! It does make me feel better that I'm not the only one who is constantly doing upkeep!! Thanks for taking us along
I just want to say "Lisa you are a hardworker"
@@Streuli120 Creating content is a job. This is how she earns a living. No one has to buy anything they don't want. We can view all the content for free . No that's a real deal.
@@Streuli120 it sounds like you have issues. Maybe you shouldn’t watch this channel?
@@Streuli120 Rude much?
The quilt on the back of your sofa is beautiful.
Honestly, I find chiped paint like quite charming.
Lisa I’m just noticing that you are ambidextrous!! Your baby Theo is getting bigger and he’s a beauty! Your home is so beautiful and homey. Blessings to you all from Ireland 🇮🇪❤️🙏
Im sure your loved ones appreciated all the hard work you did to make them feel comfortable. I appreciate the effort you put forth!
How dear friends make great times come together ❤️ looks like loads of fun . Thanks for sharing
I’m doing the same today. Quick tidy and clean before guests come for the weekend
HA! "the ultimate magic eraser" Have used that when our 5 were growing up. It works!!!
Your such a great person and a good friend! I live by all of these video’s as I really have no friends! This was so sweet it made me cry 😢
I love how you ladies still can do all these things with babies in tow
We're having guests this weekend and a family reunion here tomorrow! We call it the "Family Shindig" lol. But yes lot of last minute projects going on here today!
Man! You work so hard! It’s beautiful the passion you put into your friends coming. What a blessing you are to us and them! You are so beautiful and inspiring! 🤗😇
I just love how you value beautiful things and then you spread beauty and comfort to your friends and family 💕 it’s soooo worth all that effort, rewarding work!
Love seeing y’all together having a great visit. Good times !
Bed Bath and Beyond has LONG curtains. 96" and longer. Love watching your channel it's inspiring.
Take care of yourself too and make sure you get some rest!
Isn't it true that company or having a party is such a great motivator!! And once we get those in house, maintenance projects done, we ask ourselves "why didn't I get those things done before".....it's a wonderful feeling to accomplish so much!! You are such a go-getter....and with a child on your backside!! Thank you for sharing your home and family. You always inspire me to do more!!
Fellow DIYer here, I would totally buy those curtains and just sew in a 16” panel. You can buy an extra set or I would probably go to the fabric store and just buy a solid color in a similar weight and color block it. Just a thought. I did the opposite in our travel trailer. Instead of ordering custom short curtains for the windows in there I bought pre-made blackout curtains from Walmart cut them and hemmed them. I saved so much money doing that vs. buying custom trailer curtains.
This was such a fun video to watch!! I love how carefree you are with the camera and what you film and how you film! So inspiring! And it looks like you girls had a blast together! Did you have any learning time during the retreat or was it all for fellowship and enjoyment with each other? I would love to do something like this with my blogging buddies!
Omg look at that doll baby watchin the camera.
You are always amazing to me!! Everything is lovely
Theo is such a beautiful baby. His face reminds me of a Victorian postcard baby.
so good to have friends.
Beautiful ladies, gorgeous friends and fun times.making happy memories.
You are a super mom! You remind me so much of my mom. She had 10 kids, me being the baby of the family! Love all that you do!!!
Doing all this makes your guests feel wanted. Nice work.
Wow❣️What a beautiful life ❣️You are so blessed with family and friends ❣️
Great work getting ready for your guests and it looked like you had a really fun time together. There’s nothing like having friend time to lift the spirits! I know you probably couldn’t care less, but in case you want to know, Magic erasers have ground up melamine in them and they scratch surfaces. In case you’re thinking about using one on something you don’t want to be scratched. Baking soda on a wet rag works pretty well on most things.
So nice to see you all together again! How fun!
You’re a fabulous host 😁👍🏻. Everything looked beautiful. And I have to say, you and the kids have the prettiest blue eyes ☺️. Glad it all went well 😊.
How fun! This is one of my favorite episodes. Well done!❤️
I found 100 inch curtains on Amazon. Plus other lengths as well, 108", 96" etc. I hope this might be of help to you! 🙂
I love your house it is some homey, by the way you look amazing after having 7 children. God Bless and Take Care.
You just gave me idea for a million dollar hostess idea😜😜😜. I will put together some gift bags for my upcoming guests as well.
Hi Lisa!❤ beautiful day and Happy New Week to you and your family❤I love your childrens,is so so adorable honey!♥️Wishing you luck❤ We love you❤
I love the pillows you showed in your video! I just found them online at Lowes--thank you for sharing them!
Knowing that you sew you could just add a panel addition to the bottom of the curtains to make your ideal length.
And wouldn’t you know….all of my favorite bloggers in one place! What a fun retreat! And thanks for the inspiration to touch up my baseboards and moldings in my house that I’ve been procrastinating! Your house looks better and better all the time Lisa! ❤️🌻
You don’t need seven kids to require maintenance- just a husband requires maintenance 😄😄😄
Just myself requires maintenance. 😅
Loved this! Looked like a super fun weekend! And that rust color looks so lovely on you. ☺️
he is adorable
Your dress is really pretty!
Lisa I’ve used drop clothes from home depo for my odd sized windows and attach them with ring clips! They have a linen look which I love! And many people have ask where I purchased our curtains from!😂 Budget friendly also! Love your channel!
Great video! I am inspired now to do all the “touch ups” my house needs!
FYI you always have to wash new towels /linens/whatever because of the sizing. They will not absorb water to dry anything. I saw one recommendation to wash a new towel 6 times.
Your baby👶in your back, I can't believe tanta belleza. ❤😍
Oh my goodness Mica is absolutely so precious and adorable!!!! 😍🥰
And now I have to edit after seeing the baby! That face! What a lovely family 💕
You should try a lacquer on the cabinets. Usually that’s how they finish cabinets. Much more durable than latex.
Your children are so adorable ! I'm sure will guest's will feel so welcome !
I loved this video. Your home is beautiful, what a change from the day you all first moved in.
Those boys are beautiful!❤
❤️✨you are so “REAL”. … your home looks lovely!!! 🤗Hope you and your girlfriends enjoy your visit together!❤️✨
My friends parents own that lavender farm
I think I painted the lower 4 feet of my hall a ZILLION times when the kids were little!!!!
Having visitors over is the greatest motivator in getting cleaning done. Love your videos…… well done….enjoy your family ……all to soon they will be grown up and gone to do their own thing………🥰🥰
It’s so good that you can get together with good friends! Love it!
You are a wondaful neat painter in a pretty dress.
You cracked me up when you realized your hair was messy, said you probably should fix it before filming, then decided, nah, ain’t happening! 😁 I wish you had shown the finished gift bags. Love the snapshots of you ladies at the end. Blessings!❤️
I wanted to see the finished gift bags 😃
🥰 love you all.
You need to get some rest put your feet up. Have a Wonderful Day good video ❤️
Also, I love these casual videos.....and, I cannot believe just how much you can get done in one day!! You amaze me!
P.S. Your grass looks gorgeous!! I am loving everything about your front yard..... looking so beautiful this summer, as always!
Oh, sweet Micah!! What a adorable little guy!! ❤️🥰
Hey Lisa, I just ordered some curtains from target that were 108 inches long because I have Cathedral ceilings. They have a pretty good selection that I believe would fit your design well. Check them out. They are also blackout curtains which really helps keep cool air or heat in. ❤️😃😃❤️
What a beautiful home you have made for your family…well done
So COOl to see you all together! How fun!
This video was so much fun, I didn’t want it to end. ❤️❤️❤️
🥰 Chris
looks like you girls had so much fun together!
So nice you all got together and looks like you had a wonderful time.
It’s funny when one starts touch up painting, it always leads to painting just about everything!! You look like you had a great time with your friends!!!
Look at how big Theo is! So much for you to do…I am Exhausted just watching this video.
Great lady 😉and your family. 🙏🏻💌
You're a boss! How you do all you do with young children, is amazing! Looked to be fun once your friends arrived :)
Looks like you had a ton of fun. Your little guy has grown so much too. Enjoy your Summer!
