So in the same way that I like having maps open when I go driving so I don't get lost, in the same way I like having minimalism and a knowledge of my home so I can work through my home well and with ease. It's so normal. We don't think about it. We're not sure where is this thing in our home and do we actually use this? And clutter does take up so much space. mental and emotional space. The cool thing about minimalism is that it pulls back my time with my items so I can put more time towards my children.
My name is Lisa, mother of nine and creator of the blog and YouTube channel Farmhouse on Boone. On this podcast, I like to talk about simplifying your life so you can live out your priorities. I help you learn how to cook from scratch and decorate on a budget through this podcast and my courses, Simple Sourdough and the Simple Sewing Series. I also help people reach their goals from home through my business courses, Create Your Blog Dream and YouTube Success Academy. I will leave links to these resources in the show notes and description box below. Now let's get into the show. Welcome back to the Simple Farmhouse Life Podcast. Today we are having on Sarah Therese, back by popular demand. So many repeat guests this year just because there have been guests that you all say we heard from them in the past, we wanna hear from them again.
And today, specifically with Sarah Therese, we're gonna talk about maintaining your home. So whether that comes to keeping it more minimal, keeping your routines simplified, and avoiding overwhelm in your home and caring for it. And I think Sarah Therese, mother of five, all young kids, a young mother, has a lot of great perspective to share. So let's dive into the interview. Sarah, I'm so excited to have you back on. I had lots of people request you as a guest. And I know currently you're taking a little YouTube break from what I understand. So maybe a little... you know, sneak peek of Sarah, even though maybe by the time this comes out, I think, what were you taking like a month long break?
Yeah. You know what? I was, I was going by feel. I wanted to see, all right, I'm going to start with maybe three weeks, four weeks, and I'll see, uh, kind of how things go. So I'm so far really enjoying it. So I'm like, Oh, maybe I'll stay off for a little bit longer. Um, but it's been beautiful.
You know, we're going to talk about minimalism. So for those of you who are like, I thought you were going to talk about minimalism. We are because I think it's so important for our homes. This is something I talk about a ton and it's funny because my home still looks like it has a lot of stuff in it because it's not a huge house and there's 10 people in it. But there are still plenty of items because we have 10 people in a little less than 2000 square foot house. But just the amount of things that I used to hold on to that I don't need more and the amount that simplified things. But yeah, I was one to first checking on how your YouTube break is going and how just as fellow YouTubers, how you decide that.
I think my fear is not that anything would happen with the channel because I I found that really consistent, not necessarily how often, but just that you put out good videos, I think works really great. However, I'm always afraid of my own personal momentum. Do you find it hard when you take a break to then get back in the swing of producing a video every week?
Yeah, you know, maybe a little bit, but I do... I love finding refreshment and I love being able to pull myself back from something and view it differently. So when I am consistently going with YouTube and Instagram and social media and whatnot, I can feel like I'm just kind of going in a circle and a cycle, which is great. And I like it. And I like having a bit of a schedule and I plan a lot. So it's actually a really nice cycle. wave to ride, but sometimes I'm just riding it over and over and my mind is just dead. And I feel like I need a bit of refreshment. So pulling back feels very foreign, uh, firstly for work.
