Summary
I asked who you all wanted to hear from on the podcast, and you answered with a resounding vote for my sisters! I am excited to sit down with Laura and Andrea and dive into the questions my community sent in. We chat about the similarities and differences between how we each approach things like homemaking, self-care, business, birth, and more. We answer common questions including why we have large families, how we make it through tough stages of pregnancy, and how we were raised. We hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did!
In this episode, we cover:
- How our upbringing set us all on an entrepreneurial path
- What makes our family relationships strong into adulthood
- Why do we have large families?
- Our working theory on why we have so many sons in a row
- Thoughts on raising girls and fostering sister relationships
- Our favorite things about motherhood
- Different ways we each approach self-care
- Andrea’s birth story as a first-time mom
- Why all three of us love the Bradley method for birth
- How we make it through the difficult stages of pregnancy
- In what ways do we run our households similarly or differently?
- Do we compare ourselves to one another?
- How we navigate overwhelm in homemaking

| 0:00.0 | Do you compare yourself to the successes of each other? How do you not feel intimidated by the |
| 0:04.0 | successes of siblings and feel inspired rather than pressure to live up to them? I definitely don't. |
| 0:09.4 | I feel lazy around you. I don't know how you do all that. I'm not planning on doing any of that. |
| 0:15.6 | Except you totally do. Here, I got you on a point. Now you're podcasting whether you want to or not. |
| 0:20.4 | I'm not. I'll step back. I don't care. No, I think we all just kind of have our own things |
| 0:25.5 | going on, you know? Like we all have, even though we're doing similar things, it's still different. |
| 0:30.6 | My name is Lisa, mother of eight and creator of the blog and YouTube channel Farmhouse on Boone. |
| 0:37.1 | Join me as I share with you my love for creating a handmade home from scratch cooking |
| 0:41.3 | and a little mom and entrepreneur life along the way. |
| 0:49.9 | All right, Victor is joining me on the podcast today, along with two of my sisters. So you might |
| 0:55.0 | know Laura from our early house. I've had her on the podcast twice now. I think so. And then my |
| 1:01.5 | youngest sister, Andrea, so we are missing one sister. She's the one that sells meat. So this is |
| 1:06.3 | Andrea. She has a YouTube channel called Our, sorry, our sweet sunny day. She just had a name change, |
| 1:14.3 | so I'm still trying to remember it. So I put out a Q&A and I asked for guests that you all wanted |
| 1:20.8 | on here. And I got asked repeatedly for my sisters. So I don't have one of my sisters here today, |
| 1:27.0 | but I did drag these two into it. |
| 1:29.9 | So if you don't yet follow them, head on over to our oily house and our sweet sunny days. |
| 1:34.4 | They share similar content. |
| 1:36.5 | Only Andrea has very much of a younger generation flair to hers. |
| 1:41.4 | So if you like a lot more color, maybe, I don't know, talk about your |
| 1:48.1 | channel meals for two because yeah, it's more, it's more like younger mom, new mom, new mom, |
| 1:56.0 | new mom, homemaking. With the color. With a very beautiful mid-century home. |
