The girls enjoying the city truly warmed my heart. It’s so beautiful watching children experience things for the first time. Almost magical.

I LOVED this !!!! You just broke one stereotype that city folk may have of homeschoolers, homesteaders and rural living, we do venture out, eat out, kids are well educated and smart and get to see and experience things outside of home !!! This video was so packed with fun I’m going to watch again, maybe tonight after I get some work done today :) Blessings I forgot to mention, we don’t see your children often so it was fun to see these 3 a little closer and I must say, they are beautiful !!! As a mom of adult children and watching the world get more evil by the day, keep those children close and protect them with your life 🥰

More evil every day? I don’t know, Spanish Inquisition, crusades, 6 million Jews killed etc…heck mixed race marriages and desegregation weren’t even legal that long ago. We aren’t perfect but the western world is MUCH better than it used to be.

This is the best channel of its kind on KZread. You have a beautiful home and family. Not only does the camera love you, but you have the skill of conveying that homey, hand made feeling thru the lens. Thank you for sharing Farmhouse on Boone with us .

I loved this vlog - so real having to get up early, the baby crawling out of the room and the sound of a tumble dryer in the background - this is so real life.

Im a Midwesterner and I went to NYC when I was 18. We were there for 4 days. I grew up in the country. It was a hard thing for me psychologically to realize no matter where I went, I couldn't get away from buildings, walls, and people. It made me feel unsafe. Ive come to realize that people that grew up in a city feel unsettled being in the country. We had someone visit out home and we told him we didn't lock our doors. He was flabbergasted.

My first thought was “where’s the crowds”🤣😂

“We already had lunch” “I know but it’s a HOT DOG” 😂😂 that part cracked me up!

I was born and raised in the Bronx, NY and now I live in CT. I left after high school and never really looked back. I started to resent the city and really only seeing the negative things that happen there. I really loved seeing it from your eyes, it reminded me of all of the wonderful times I had as a kid growing up there. I had to take two trains and a bus to get to school in Manhattan for my whole life and I sometimes forget that, for most people, taking the train (subway) can still be new and exciting. So happy you and your family had such a great time, it really put a smile on my face. Xo

I live in Northern NJ - basically NYC-lite. I actually used to work across the street from St.Patrick's Cathedral. We are very friendly and kind around here. We get a bad rap. Always love it when someone sees past the stereotypes.

Ruthie holding Andrea’s hand so much on the trip is the sweetest thing ever!!

I used to visit my sisters in law in NYC every year before they moved away. This really made me miss those times! They are very kind! They just don't take BS. I never had to carry my stroller up subway stairs because a man would always be right there to carry it up for me.

Ahh how fun!! We’re in NJ, I wish I knew you were so close by! Next time you’re ever on the east coast it would be awesome to meet up 💛 A memorable trip for sure, and I hope you guys find the perfect cabin.

Y'all did so much on such a short trip! You hit so many of the hot spots. No wonder you were tired. Also something people don't expect about NYC: all the walking.

I loved this video & yes would really enjoy seeing more. What a wonderful girls outing to NY, Theo’s beautiful blue eyes shining in wonder!

An NYC trip is a bucket list item 👍🏻. I went with my daughter, who was a sales rep for Highlands Homeopathic and Manhattan was part of her territory. Nothing beats going with someone who know their way around.

Greetings from NYC! Our daily lives can't be more different, but I find your channel entertaining, beautiful, and professional.

How fun! We live on Long Island, NY (45 min train ride to NYC). I dream of moving to the country someday, and often forget the beauty in my own backyard. Thanks for the reminder with your fresh eyes! Im a homeschool mom of 4 living in a beach town… I love your channel and try to do my own rendition of a handmade home- gardening, sourdough, cooking from scratch. Bloom where you are planted right?! Contact me if you ever come back to NY and I’ll show you around LI 😉

so fun seeing you and your "homegrown" girls out in the BIG city! Still remember my first trip to NYC with my mom too!

Enjoyed this very much!! I am so thankful you and the girls had this time together - they will always remember it!!

YES LISA THANKS FOR TAKING ME TO NEWYORK CITY ALWAYS WANTED TO GO BUT IT WAS ALWAYS OUT OF MY REACH THOUGH MY DAUGHTER MAEVE WAS THERE AND SHE ENJOYED IT THXS

I was born and raised in NYC, a lot has changed there now! Glad you survived the NYC subway system!!! I now live in the small state of RI. I go back to visit because one of my children still live there but I'm always glad to come home, way to crowded for me .

Anyone else notice the baby book it out the back door 🤣🤣😝

Thanks for sharing this unusual week.

Love your channel. We homeschooled the whole way. Wish I'd have "homesteaded" as well, but my bandwidth was full. My kids are grown and doing great. My only regret was not having more kids. Enjoy!

I love New York City, we were stationed in Landcaster New York. The people there are so nice and the broadway shows are magical. Watching your girls discover the city was awesome:) I'm so glad y'all went.

Gravel roads can be graded well. Also it will help with privacy.

The painted rugs are beautiful!!

Brings back memories of the 7 of us with mom and dad on saturday afternoon drives down to the mountains in south eastern Kentucky. Hiking up the chain rock mountain overlooking Pineville where my mom was born. Peanut butter & jelly sandwiches, carrot and celery sticks and popcorn for snacking. With koolaid to drink. I loved sitting in the back of the station wagon where you could look out the back window. Love so much seeing your beautiful family!♥️

I seen where you was looking at is very close to Emienience MO. Emienience is a wonderful area you have a beautiful area of JacksFork and Current River. You should look at this area it's beautiful and I would think places would be very reasonable. Lots of people come to this area Mark Twain's National Park. There is a place called Circle B Campgrounds that we have stayed at for family reunions many many times. I think you guys would love this area. Please check it out. I live in Northeast Arkansas only about an hour and half away from there. We love this area. Truly God's country. God Bless.

Definitely keep in mind traffic around Lake Michigan (depending on exactly where the vacation place would be located)... Cutting through Chicago would be awful.

Your knowledge has inspired me to start my sourdough journey, it has been a month now. Yes I have had a couple of flops but I have continued and starting to get the hang of it. I also have started canning with my little garden. New kitchen skills going on😁 You and a couple other of ‘my’ you tube ladies have helped me broaden my kitchen skills. Thank you Lisa!!

Sweet on New York City ..my middle child ..,has always been a world traveler started in college.. he did six weeks in Poland for study abroad he’s been to New York several times he’s been to Paris France UK Amsterdam Costa Rica Mexico Utah I mean everywhere is this young man of mine who has now settle down and gotten married he’s only 29 but he has a passport with some history on it.. I wish I could do more traveling but life happens and we just can’t at this time maybe later Kudos for you .. 🌎

Amaaazing I was interested in a Sourdough croissant recipe that isn't intimidating Will definitely try it as soon as it's out Been following u for a few years now You taught me everything abt Sourdough I even bought a grain mill, local ancient wheat, have a 1 yr old starter Some of these things I learned from u are just UNHEARD of around here From Dubai 🤍

You read my mind!! Literally just last night I was thinking: “Is there such a thing as sourdough croissants…is that even possible???” So excited to see you trying this and learn that there is a way…! 🙃

I had stereotypes too. I went for the first time about 15 years ago and I thought I was going to see peopld break dancing on the streets with a boombox. Boy I was disappointed. Haha and I was surprised when I saw how small everything was too. Yes the elevators. And I also was delighted to see all the details in the architecture. That was a pleasant surprise.

@@gabriellelue I stayed in Manhattan. I don't remember the location but if you know the Cooper Union university, then that is where I was. It's not too far from New York University. I took the subway a lot but I also walked a lot too. I saw performances in the subway. The image I had was probably from movies from the 1980s where people were literally hanging outside their row homes or brownstones, (I'm not sure what they are called.) and break dancing in the streets for fun. I remember watching Sesame Street and seeing an episode that featured how to keep cool during the summer time. And I remember them saying New York City gets really hot and people open up the fire hydrants, so the kids could play in the water. And I remember seeing little kids having their hair braided on the steps outside their building. That was my image of New York. Probably from the late '70s and '80s. And maybe because I didn't grow up in the city I probably assumed that that was typical city life no matter the era.

@@NicoleCB ahh I see! Well actually you'll be happy to know that does still happen in NYC. I lived there for a few years, so it's definitely something that happens more seasonly. For example, this one neighborhood in Brooklyn called Park Slope always has kids running around with the fire hydrant spraying in the summer and other things like that. It's more spread out though, while I think the media portrays it all happening in mid town Manhattan.

Great video! I’m a southern born and raised suburbanite currently living in NYC-my husband is in the military. It’s truly a place unlike any other!

Yes I liked this..I like that your homeschooled kids get culture..I want to listen to your podcast

LOVED that you took your kids to NYC. I love it there and there is so much to learn and see. So many folks from so many walks of life, and I agree, I had a lot of stereotypes busted when I went there for the first time. I am sure this experience will open up so many new doors for your girls, if you are able to travel with kids, it truly is so beneficial for them in so many ways. Not to mention you will remember it forever! Thanks for sharing!

Wow a trip to my hometown of New York City, I'm so glad you, your daughters, sister and mother had a fabulous time. I'm glad you were able to see the often over looked good that's in NYC , ppl are very friendly and in my opinion helpful. All the sites you enjoyed I wish I could have saw when I lived there I was always working and in the hustle and bustle. I never took the time to tour and site see, the history of NYC subway is very fascinating . One day soon I will return as a tourist and enjoy my city in style, as you all did☺️

I just can't get over how you whip up those bagels! Great trip, they will never forget. ❤️

One of my childhood family's favorite memories was at a cabin an hour from civilization. It had a lake filled with trout and an ice cold spring. There was no electricity and only a wood stove to heat the place, but being a log cabin, it stayed cool in the summer and warm in the winter. We all loved it so much. Our final year to visit, they had introduced electricity and TVs. It ruined it because everyone then plugged in, versus intentional time reading, short hikes, fishing, etc. We never went back.

Speaking to the rest of NY, western NY to be specific, ppl are not kind, nor polite lol That’s rly funny to hear. They don’t even move over for someone attempting to switch lanes while driving. NY is not known for the things ppl r claiming, becuz it’s not those things I lived there 55 yrs

Loved this blog. Thanks for sharing your girls trip to New York. Nice seeing your girls out en joying the big city. Good for them to experience life in a big city versus life on a farm. They do need to see different lifestyles so they can choose for themselves the life they want. Would love to see more like this.

Just catching this, to be 57 years old and not know my area, all I can say is WOW! have got to search my area more. I had no idea Caledonia had all those buildings! I live just about 45 minutes from there and thought it was just hwy 21!! LMBO there are people out there. OH LISA!!! Your sister took you on the best way to tour a new tourist place!!! The bus and the subway, main public transportation, you met the REAL people and the REAL ways of their life!! Its the only way to see a place is through the locals!! Lived in Vegas for almost 20 years, so I know you had a wonderful experience, and I'm a little jealous..... LOL

Hey! Great video. Loved it. My home town. It was great seeing it again. There is so much more another trip is required.

Hello. Have you looked at ontonogon or up northern Michigan area. I believe you could find a cabin and possibly be on Lake Superior, I’ve looked for myself years back before my health issues got worse.

Seeing your daughters experience nyc for the first time made me weirdly emotional and nostalgic and excited to share it with my girls as they get older lol. I've never been a fan of the city, just too many people for my comfort, but grew up close enough to go a decent amount of times. My sister is a dancer who lives in the city and she offered to have like "city days" with my girls which is so fun

My daughter lives in the UP of Michigan and has two lake houses on Lake Michigan and one is a rental and rents all year around. And one is just for their family, it’s beautiful up there

I don't know if you've bought a cabin yet. Pinnacle lake is incredible and affordable. Have the name of a amazing realtor off main street in warren if you want to look at a place there ;) It's a magical place with some strong roots. Large rock in the center, four wheeler rides on ice, so fun!

I live on Long Island and you're right...everything is small in the city. Even though I'm only an hour from the city, going there is a whole trip. It's a different world, that's for sure. Going home is always great!
