| 0:00.0 | My encouragement to a young homemaker is try all the things. Learn how to bake. Learn how to |
| 0:06.6 | sew. Learn how to make a video, if that's what interests you. Learn how to organize a talent show |
| 0:12.1 | and work with Canva to create graphics for it. Just learn things. Spend your time learning, |
| 0:19.6 | because whenever you don't have kids, you have so much |
| 0:23.6 | time. Don't squander it because later on it's going to be really hard to pick up and do those things. |
| 0:29.6 | And right now is such an opportunity, such a gift that you might not realize that you have been granted. |
| 0:35.6 | My name is Lisa, mother of eight, and creator of the blog and YouTube channel Farmhouse on Boone. |

| 1:26.4 | You only listen to podcasts. |
| 1:28.2 | And so this is a way for you to go ahead and submit your questions as well. I have a bunch of them. |
| 1:32.5 | I have a cup of coffee and I'm ready to answer some of these questions. I really enjoy doing |
| 1:37.4 | episodes like this because they're a little bit more informal than a lot of my YouTube videos. |
| 1:42.9 | And there are things that as a mother of eight |
| 1:45.7 | and I've been a homemaker for, it'll be 17 years this fall that I've been married. There's some |
