This was a lovely, peaceful way to celebrate the fruits of your labour. I couldn’t think of anything more rewarding than spending time with your loved ones over a beautiful meal. Merry Christmas 🎄✨

This video was so well done from the filming to the editing to the voice over and the music. Thank you for this wonderfully peaceful video. Merry Christmas Laura, Aaron, Benjamin and Samantha Grace. ⭐️🎄🕯💚🕯🎄⭐️

Merry Christmas to you and Aaron, Benjamin and Samantha~Grace. Also the GA team Paul & Ken plus the extra’s I can’t remember their names and of course your Mum Dad and brothers and sister. You have filled my days with wonder and beauty for the Garden I am creating ( at an incredibly slower pace) and inspiration for all the wonderful things possible. This video was the perfect last video for my night here in Queensland Australia and was like a fairytale story laid out for me to dream with through the night. Merry Christmas to the GA family and to all a Good~Night 🎄

What a lovely video. It was so relaxing to watch you share your dinner prep with us, including the harvesting and feeding the chickens, Benjamin helping you harvest, Samantha wanting to be in your arms as you were at the sink, the cutting of the veggies,... thanks so much for including us. I felt the peace of your home as I watched, and this almost felt like a gift. What a blessing to be able to watch this. I wish you and yours a blessed, peaceful, prosperous holiday season. Merry Christmas! 🎁❄🎄

The coffee strainer was in style 40 yrs ago and sold everywhere. I have looked for them in stores since then, but never looked online. They work great. Use fine grit coffee grounds and boiling water with a paper strainer. Since there is only one hole in the bottom, you will have to refill it until you have the desired amount of coffee. It takes very little patience to get fresh coffee for one, without a machine (you do have to have boiling water).

This was probably one of the most relaxing videos you have created. Your voice was so soothing with the beautiful music background and seeing the kids and Aaron playing with Samantha was priceless. Thank you for starting my day with a smile 🌷

My son, who is a month younger than Samantha, started clapping when he saw her and Aaron playing 😊 I hope to one day be able to grow our food like you do!

Oh my gosh, what a thrill to see you make pasties!! My grandparents were born in England. My grandfather was a miner and my grandmother would make him pasties, wrap them in a linen napkin and put it in his pocket. I remember helping cut onions, potatoes and carrots. Sometimes rutabaga, most of us kids didn’t like so carrots for us. Boy, this brought back a flood of wonderful memories! Your pasties look delicious. Merry Christmas 🎄

I love that you mention the cloth. I know there's a myth about the crimp being thrown away to avoid getting the toxic dirt on the pasty but all mining families seem to mention that the miners had them wrapped in a cloth and wouldn't have thrown food away. I live on the Devon/ Cornwall border so have grown up eating pasties.

I still can’t get over how beautiful that window box with the ornamental kale, snap dragons, wire vine etc looks!! Stunning! 🥰

Cornish Tin Miners we’re fed on Cornish pasties with fruit in one end so they could have a meal and dessert in one while working. An extra pastie dough within the pastie kept the dessert edge separate from the meat and vegetables side.

When I try to tell people that when the simple things in life make you happy, you will simply be happy. Those who get it get. Laura your blessed, and you definitely get. 🥰🥰🥰

Such a relaxing and heart warming day! Laura at her best. Her mother is an excellent role model, which is a huge compliment in my book!

Thank you so much for the garden inspiration, I can’t wait to start a vegetable garden this next year! Merry Christmas to your whole family Laura!🎄

The evolution of your videos is so wonderful to see. This was just a delight! Merry Christmas!

The artistry of the filming and editing : stunning. The narration of this peaceful day spent with her son: heart warming and peaceful. This video is a gift from a thoughtful friend who gives from her heart. Thank you Laura and Aaron, it was absolutely beautiful!

This was lovely, I needed a relaxing way to start my hectic workday. Thank you. I have a request: can we get a tour of your parent's farm? I have enjoyed the garden tours at your parents home, but I'm also a farm-girl at heart, living in the burbs, and would love to vicariously get back to farm life through your video expertise. Hope you and yours have a very Merry Christmas! 🎄

Wow, just wow! This is a tv quality video. Kudos to you and Aaron. Just when I thought I couldn’t love your channel more! Merry Christmas!🎄

One of my favorite lines from the movie 'Legends of the Fall,' is one of the characters saying "It fills me with such a deep, quiet satisfaction, that I thank God." That's the perfect way to describe how I feel when harvesting from my garden and spending time with my chickens.

Loving the vibe of this beautiful video. So peaceful and cosy, and a nice change of pace. Wishing your family a blessed Christmas ahead, Laura! 🎄💖

I love how Benjamin helps out whenever he can - that kid is going to know so much by the time he is full-time in school. Delicious homemade meal. Thanks Laura. 🙏🏻🤗🎅

And they lived happily ever after! Thank you for first class entertainment, and sharing your knowledge. I wish you and your family good health. Respectfully, Wally

I will re-watch this whenever I need to slow down, center on what's most important, + enjoy just what is accessible.

I watched this on television youtube so I couldn't respond at that time but I loved the peacefulness and your family, and the finished product looked wonderful. I loved all of it. I also have to tell you, I for one am glad you are cutting back to 5 videos a week! I enjoy your videos so much but feel guilty at the time away from your family. I am sure all your followers agree with me your family comes before your work! Your babies will be grown before you know it, enjoy every second you can. Your priorities are in order! Thank you, I so enjoy your channel and it is one I never get tired of. Blessings to you and your family.

I love this video that you presented to us this morning. It shows every little detail of your prep, including interaction with your children, and I loved when Samantha Grace came to you with open arms wanting to be held. It gave us a little glimpse of what your life is like when you’re not filming in the garden, it was a special Christmas gift for us! Thank you so much, and merry Christmas!

I can see this video as a beautifully illustrated children’s book! ❤️

Oh Laura, I know you're going to look back on this video in the decades to come and feel so warm inside seeing your little boy grow

Thank you so much for your channel you have no idea how much you have helped and inspired me over the last few years including in my own garden and I have acquired a piece of land for growing in the last 6 months....I even got a dehydrator for Christmas. Thank you for everything you do! ♥️

Oh my! What a beautiful video Laura! The gentleness from the music, the slow paced cooking (and I don’t even eat meat)and the calmness in your voice was an utter delight. Wishing you and your wonderful family the happiest Christmas. xxx

Lovely! I hope to have a bigger garden in the next year or so to be able to make more meals from our homegrown produce. I’m very familiar with the Cornish pasties you made! Where I grew up in northeastern MN the pasty is a traditional immigrant meal from Cornwall. The Cornish men and women brought the recipe with them when the came to work in the iron mines. They had been tin miners in Cornwall and came to America for a better life. The pasty was a common meal made for the miners with a thick edge crust to hold when they ate it. They would throw the thick crust away because it would be dirty from mine dust. It’s been years since I had a pasty! I think I’ll pick some up this Christmas when I go home to visit 😊

Such a fun video, your voice over is so calming, and "spending the day" with you and your family was lovely!

Pasties were a staple in my house growing up. Love them. Us kids would put ketchup on them and my Dad would have his in milk. The story goes that miners would warm them on their head lamps for lunch and the crust was thick on one side to be a handle for eating and then toss because of their dirty hands. Thanks for the memories.

Watching the children and thinking how this year has gone by so fast, feeling grateful that your videos have been here for so many reasons, not only have I learned so much, smiled, laughed at times and in full it’s been a wonderful distraction from these difficult times. Merry Christmas to you, Aaron, Benjamin, Samantha, and to your whole family. A special virtual hug and best of holidays to your wonderful Mom who when I know she’s on, it’s a guaranteed smile and laughter. 🥳 Happy New Year!

Pasties are a treat, I've had them in Michigan where they are very common. A bit of history for Benjamin- pasties were eaten by coal miners since they were easy to pack for lunch and can also be eaten cold if there is no way to warm them up. I hope they turned out delicious, you can also freeze them and heat them up when you're short on time. Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas. Love from Minnesota!

this whole video was like a giant (moving) Norman Rockwell painting... such a beautiful family... true peace on earth...

Oh, my favorite new cooking show! The wonderful music, the mix of activities/scenes, especially those of the family, and the visual tableaus made this video better than anything on tv...it was PERFECTION!! And I'm with you, Laura....I clean as I go, probably just as much because I hate just standing around waiting as because I don't want a huge mess afterward. With my ADHD, once I start a task, I know I'm better off just keeping working and finishing it, so it gets done.

Such a sweet, heartwarming glimpse into an idyllic day at your home. It was also wonderful to see a Northern Michigan staple, the pastie featured in your cooking. It has it roots feeding the copper miners of the UP. I am sure you are familiar with them from your visits to Mackinac. Feel free to load them up with filling the next time you make them and add a side of gravy.

Today’s video was like story time. The music, your gentle voice, and the images were all so relaxing and you just wanted to hunker down and listen ever so closely. I’m quite intrigued with the single cup coffee brewing gadget. Also, loved the ‘Old Country Roses’ china cup. We didn’t pick China when we got married because I just didn’t know what I wanted. I saw the Old Country Roses pattern in a book one day and said, “this is the china pattern I see in my head”. We’ve been married almost 41 years now and I absolutely love it!
