I literally could watch your vlogs everyday on repeat, I just enjoy your homemaking style, aesthetic and incorporation of Christ. Although I work a "traditional" 9-5 I still pull so many of your ideas and home management techniques into my home with my family. Thank you again for sharing a portion of your life.
Looking forward to tomorrow's video. Even though my son is grown and I am happily a grandmother, I enjoy watching you go about your day with school, baking, preparing dinner, and holiday planning! Will you be doing Vlogmas this year?
I made your cookie recipes last year and froze them as you do. I had never done that before. It was so wonderful to be able to have freshly baked cookies to share with friends and family throughout the season! The molasses ginger cookies are our favorite!
Thank you Hilary for giving me the push to start the Christmas cookies. I am going to miss your videos. I love your baking/cooking ones. You are wonder woman!
I prepped the traditional confetti cookie dough (not sourdough) this morning but can’t get to finishing them tonight. Hoping they will be okay overnight in the fridge!
I always love your videos.Thank you so much for listing the link to the cookie recipes. I am a grammy ( best blessing ever) but I always learn something from you. You are a kind ,loving mom...Thank you again😊
Just a piece of advice, I bake lots of cookies every year for Christmas, but I make them about half the size of a normal cookie. Just reduce the baking time a bit. Not only do you get more cookies this way, you don’t have to commit to just one cookie. When you have a variety, you can select several to try without getting too full or getting too fat! Haha!
I’ve gotten the best cookie recipes from you! I love the rosemary shortbread with tea and the chewy gingerbread cookies with coffee. My youngest granddaughter does not like chocolate so I made the confetti cookies last year and she loves them! Thank you for your hard work in sharing with us!
Just watched your freezer cookies video from the past,so I can start early. The ginger cookies are so good. Love to watch your videos. Good to see you enjoying the littles while balancing home making and outside activities. 🙂
I have used LUME for years, body wash, wipes, deodorant and love it. Toasted coconut is my scent. It is also available in some stores, but I usually shop the online mega sales. I have also given the body wash as gifts with a loofah or net pouff ❤️
Hi Hilary! Thank you for doing Vlogtober, it was wonderful seeing all the fun!! The weather - oh my goodness- all this change has made me lose my voice. 🤦🏻♀️ curious- are you part of Classical Conversations??
I've made the cookies, Hill, and it was so convenient to take a few out just to have a sweet treat with coffee. My children are all adults, but I do miss the days when they were little .
Love love love your videos. Have been watching for 4+ years and will continue to do so. So relaxing! Question on the cookies, do you find that you have to adjust the baking time from the recipe once they’re in their frozen state?
We started Lume last year and it's great! Just started using the soap and it is wonderful...skin feels soft and silky after using it. I wish we had started years ago!
I have watched you since you just had Evie. One of my very first channels to watch. Are you going to do vlogmas? I will watch anytime you are on. HUGS 🙏🇺🇸🐘☺🍁
Every year I say I'm gonna try making your rosemary shortbread cookies....I really need to do that I have a sourdough snicker doodle cookie that my family loves more than my old-fashioned snicker doodle cookie.
Honestly, I don't care for the scent of the Ziva paper whites, which are the ones I find most commonly, so I went with a different variety this year which should smell better! 💛
@ If that’s the case then I would get them too because they are beautiful! I didn’t realize they had different varieties I’ll have to look into that. ❤️
Cookie Day! Yay! Along with your... "something to wear, something to read, something they n eed, something they want...", I always added in a 5th, especially when they were your kids' age - "..... Something to Play - (a Board Game/Cards to Play!)... "Blokus" is a great one...when they are older, 'Settlers of Catan"... "Ticket to Ride"... "Crib", "Scrabble", "Upwords", and "Risk or Monopoly"...
Good Morning Just watched this video and I cannot wait to make the cookies. Could you please tell me which mixture machine you use not sure is it kenwood. Take Care. Ashwina
I know you have a lot of books on your ‘to read’ list for the kids but I have got to recommend a book series by Brian Jacques. It’s called the Redwall series and the descriptive words and imagery is so good. Brian wrote the books with blind children in mind so I just love them so much. Perhaps Luke would enjoy them in a year or 2….maybe just a thought to tuck away for the future. ❤
I have really loved your Vlogtober. I have a question about your cookies. They look great. But do they taste fresh, when you bake them? Or do you ever bake them, and then freeze them? How do they taste? Last year, we went on a cruise, on Princess. One of their activities was an egg drop. I grabbed a napkin and did it, and of course, it splattered. Several people came prepared, and had really cool contraptions to put their egg in.
Yes, perfectly fresh! I've also done the bake, then freeze method and it also works well. It's what bakeries do all the time! Baking first saves time on the other end, but freezing the dough for me saves time now. Either way it's a win come Holiday season 💛
Another vlogtober in the books. I have been watching your vlogtobers since 2015 I think. You must have read my mind I have been wanting to try an aluminum free deodorant. Your homeschool co-op sounds lovely.
Hilary, I had to laugh when you said your body doesn’t know what to do- first you’re cold, then you’re hot-just wait until menopause! 🥶🥵 It feels a lot like that! 😆 I definitely need to make the Ginger Molasses cookies this year, after reading all the comments that they are a family favorite for so many! I have the same Bible study as you tomorrow, and still have 1 day left to complete. The Lord has been gracious to allow me to go in person this year to teach the preschool class again. I taught for many years before we bought our B & B four years ago, and I miss the little ones so much! This fall, we have had bookings on all other nights, but only once on a Thursday, so that day I was making breakfast for our guests, but all other Fridays I have been able to be there. My husband & I also lead a co-ed ZOOM class of that same Bible study, and it has been nice to do it with my husband, as he was always unable to go in person due to work. Have a happy Halloween! 🎃👻
Sourdough bread may be easier to digest than white bread for some people. According to some studies, sourdough bread acts as a prebiotic, which means that the fiber in the bread helps feed the “good” bacteria in your intestines. These bacteria are important for maintaining a stable, healthy digestive system.
I went with a different variety this year! I've always done Ziva, but apparently those are the ones that smell bad. The ones I purchased should be milder and sweeter! 💛
The one she showed is a stick deodorant. They do make cream but that’s in a tube. This deodorant really is great. A little pricey but very good. I tried a started pack to check out the products. This is the first I’ve seen it in a sponsorship.
It's a solid stick, the one I have, but they do sell a cream/lotion version, which I was not too keen to use, personally. The stick glides on just like a regular deodorant and truly works SO well 💛
I LOVE your channel and have been watching you since Evey was a baby but, your Lume “commercial” felt like the scene from Truman show where the wife is selling the hot cocoa!😂 I can speculate why you do these promotional ads in your videos and I applaud you for doing whatever you need to do for your family, but they sometimes don’t match up with your genuine personality. I thank you for doing Vlogtober every year and wish you a beautiful start to this holiday season😊
Unfortunately, Lume did not work for me at all! I used the cream under my breasts and it caused a rash that lasted over two weeks. It was scary as I’ve never had a rash like that before.
I can’t wait for you to try Lume! Use OWH to redeem an extra $5.00 off your Starter Pack with free U.S. shipping at bit.ly/LUME-OWH! Let me know your favorite scent in the comments below.
Going on 4 years with Lume - love it!
I have been using Lume for years now. I put in in between my thighs and they prevent my thighs from smelling like sweat.😂😂
I literally could watch your vlogs everyday on repeat, I just enjoy your homemaking style, aesthetic and incorporation of Christ. Although I work a "traditional" 9-5 I still pull so many of your ideas and home management techniques into my home with my family. Thank you again for sharing a portion of your life.
Thank you so much for being here! 💛
Thank you for doing vlogtober Hillary. I look forward to watching every year and never disappoint. Like visiting with a friend in the morning.
Oh no. What am I going to do while I’m getting ready in the morning!! Thank you for vlogtober. I have very much enjoyed it!!
Same here!
Me too❤
Thank you for doing Vlogtober. It is always a treat!
Thank you so much for being here! 💛
Love the cookie idea! That’s a great project for month of November!
Looking forward to tomorrow's video. Even though my son is grown and I am happily a grandmother, I enjoy watching you go about your day with school, baking, preparing dinner, and holiday planning! Will you be doing Vlogmas this year?
Thank you so much for being here! I will do some version of it :)
Me too
I made your ginger molasses cookies last year and they were AMAZING! The entire family loved them. I’ll definitely make more this year ❤
I made your cookie recipes last year and froze them as you do. I had never done that before. It was so wonderful to be able to have freshly baked cookies to share with friends and family throughout the season! The molasses ginger cookies are our favorite!
My molasses ginger cookies are in the freezer!
Isn't it the best!? 💛
I'm getting used to your new counters, I truly loved the butcher block. I like how you're always one step ahead, in the planning for the Holidays.
Yes me too, I’m so glad the butcher block stayed on the island unit!
One of my favorites things I love to watch is your cookie prep.❤ Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for being here! 💛
Thank you Hilary for giving me the push to start the Christmas cookies. I am going to miss your videos. I love your baking/cooking ones. You are wonder woman!
They're such a blessing come Holiday season 💛 Thank you for being here!
Farmer Boy always makes me hungry because of all the good food his mom makes.
Hah seriously!! So many doughnuts and sausages 😆
I’ve used Lume for yrs. It assures me I’ll be fine during our hot Alabama summers. I love the vanilla/coconut scent.
Those cookies look amazing!!!
Thanks for sharing your Vlogtober, Hilary
I don’t know if you will be doing Vlogmas this year, but I would love it if you would!
Thank you for the cookie inspiration!
It always feels like a win to get a head start on Christmas! Thanks for doing Vlogtober! You’re my favorite!
Thank you for doing Vlogtober. I love watching you!!
Thank you for being here!!
I prepped the traditional confetti cookie dough (not sourdough) this morning but can’t get to finishing them tonight. Hoping they will be okay overnight in the fridge!
They’ll be just fine! Let them thaw a tad so the sprinkles stick but otherwise you’re good to go 💛
It's been a treat to watch your vlogtobers this month, thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much for being here! 💛
I always love your videos.Thank you so much for listing the link to the cookie recipes. I am a grammy ( best blessing ever) but I always learn something from you. You are a kind ,loving mom...Thank you again😊
Ah thanks so much, blessings to you and yours! 💛

I n ever commit to just ONE cookie during the Christmas Season!
I’ve gotten the best cookie recipes from you! I love the rosemary shortbread with tea and the chewy gingerbread cookies with coffee. My youngest granddaughter does not like chocolate so I made the confetti cookies last year and she loves them! Thank you for your hard work in sharing with us!
Just watched your freezer cookies video from the past,so I can start early. The ginger cookies are so good. Love to watch your videos. Good to see you enjoying the littles while balancing home making and outside activities. 🙂
Those jars won’t crack when you pour hot liquids in them. Good choice.
Hillary, love you and your family and vlogs! The cookies look great! I’m going to order your Christmas Planner!❤
Thank you, Hilary! 🍁
Thank you!
We always make the Cream cheese cookies with the sprinkles during the holidays since you shared the recipe in the past.
I have used LUME for years, body wash, wipes, deodorant and love it. Toasted coconut is my scent. It is also available in some stores, but I usually shop the online mega sales. I have also given the body wash as gifts with a loofah or net pouff ❤️
Thank you for Vlogtober 2024! I copied your cookie plan last Christmas and oh my, how wonderful!
Hi Hilary! Thank you for doing Vlogtober, it was wonderful seeing all the fun!! The weather - oh my goodness- all this change has made me lose my voice. 🤦🏻♀️ curious- are you part of Classical Conversations??
Such crazy weather lately! No we don't do CC
I feel you on the hot/cold! I started the midlife change, I have never been so hot in my entire life…..🤯🔥🔥🔥🤯
I’m adding a few of the cookies in the planner to our plan this year. I need to get a move on it!
So sad it’s coming to an end! You’re my fav Vlogtobers to watch. Can’t wait for next videos. I bought your planner and can’t wait to bake your cookies
I've made the cookies, Hill, and it was so convenient to take a few out just to have a sweet treat with coffee. My children are all adults, but I do miss the days when they were little .
I love the frozen cookie dough, it’s so easy to bake a few cookies every now and then!
The segue to the Lume ad made me giggle! I can just picture you wrangling co-op kiddos.
mom life 💛
Love holiday baking! ❤️
Enjoy your babies today!!!!
My grandmother used to call them Jimmies too 😊
Love love love your videos. Have been watching for 4+ years and will continue to do so. So relaxing!
Question on the cookies, do you find that you have to adjust the baking time from the recipe once they’re in their frozen state?
Yes sometimes it takes an extra couple minutes if they're frozen solid :)
HAPPY FALL THURSDAY IN OCTOBER Hillary, family, and fur baby Finn. JUST PRECIOUS. STTB
We started Lume last year and it's great! Just started using the soap and it is wonderful...skin feels soft and silky after using it. I wish we had started years ago!
You are so ahead of the game with those cookies! And I am right there with you with a 3 year old who won’t nap 😩
Your dress is absolutly perfect. I don't find this style in France
Ah thanks, I believe it's Old Navy from a few years ago, I bought it secondhand 💛
I have watched you since you just had Evie. One of my very first channels to watch. Are you going to do vlogmas? I will watch anytime you are on. HUGS 🙏🇺🇸🐘☺🍁
Thank you so much for being here so long! I will do some version of it :)
Hillary, thank you for the reminder to start the Christmas cookies! Such a busy day for you. Hope you all had a Happy Halloween.🦸♀️🧙♀️🧝🧛
Every year I say I'm gonna try making your rosemary shortbread cookies....I really need to do that
I have a sourdough snicker doodle cookie that my family loves more than my old-fashioned snicker doodle cookie.
That's good to know! Definitely try the shortbread 💛
Great start for baking! Paper whites are a no in my house, they are beautiful but I can’t stand the scent of them. Thanks for another welcome video!❤
Honestly, I don't care for the scent of the Ziva paper whites, which are the ones I find most commonly, so I went with a different variety this year which should smell better! 💛
@ If that’s the case then I would get them too because they are beautiful! I didn’t realize they had different varieties I’ll have to look into that. ❤️
hey girl- loved the video!😁 yummy cookies😋
Thanks for vlogtober! 🎃
Hillary, does your Christmas Planner have your regular cleaning schedule in it?
Yes! 💛
So enjoyed vlogtober - looking forward to tomorrow’s video too!!
Hope you all enjoy your Halloween!
Thanks so much! 💛
What a wonderful and productive day!❤
Yum.
My hubs has a full Carhart with sleeves.
Happy Halloween Hilary 🎃👻. Enjoy trick or treating ☺️.
Hectic but rewarding mom life
You’re such a sweet mama!
I love Farmer Boy and the rest of the Little House books! We visited a lot of sites where Laura lived.
Cookie Day! Yay! Along with your... "something to wear, something to read, something they n eed, something they want...", I always added in a 5th, especially when they were your kids' age - ".....

I have that same dress!! 🎉 enjoy Halloween 🎃 I’m going to make my cookies to freeze too. I will miss your October vlogs!
HILLARY I HOPE YOU SEE THIS I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE THE RECIPE TO THE ROSEMARY BREAD THAT YOUR BROTHER MAKES I CANT SEEM TO FIND IT 😊 THANK YOU 😊

Thanks so much for being here all these years! We love the co-op, so grateful to have found it, and yes definitely give Lume a try! 💛

Farmer Boy is our favorite family read aloud.
He is LOVING it! 💛

I know nothing about sourdough. What is it that makes it healthier?

These bacteria are important for maintaining a stable, healthy digestive system.
@@DH-qz2so Thanks
Can we make your freezer cookie ball, the regular way and not use sourdough?
Of course! That’s how I’ve done it for years
Love your videos ❤
Thanks so much for watching! 💛
Have you changed your mind about the paperwhittes and their scent??! I have such a love-hate relationship with them 😅🙃 Great video. THANK YOU 💛
I went with a different variety this year! I've always done Ziva, but apparently those are the ones that smell bad. The ones I purchased should be milder and sweeter! 💛
Enjoyed
So how do I substitute sour dough in the cookies darling
The recipes I used are in the description box 💛
@ got it thank you :)
So sad that today is the last day of Vlogtober 😢
One more Vlogtober video tomorrow 💛
Is the Lume stick, really a stick or is it an applicator for the lotion shaped like a regular deodorant?
The one I received was a lotion in a stick applicator.
The one she showed is a stick deodorant. They do make cream but that’s in a tube. This deodorant really is great. A little pricey but very good. I tried a started pack to check out the products. This is the first I’ve seen it in a sponsorship.
@@kristencobb230, me too. Not a fan of that…
They have a solid, too.
