Great video!
@@carolynek1875 thank you 😊
Bloom where you are planted!
56 years old. Still have a summer pajama pants my brother gave me as a present when i was 20 years old. Also still have a hairbrush that I received as a gift at age 18. Brush still works. Pants still fits after having 2 babies. The elastic on the pants stretched over the years, and I had it replaced only once. Hang on to things. It saves tons.
@@zeldawilliams4129 love it!! That’s amazing 😊
Sadly, many things are not made to last. The quality is poor. And the expertise to repair appliances, vehicles etc has diminished. Materials have become very expensive. One must use their initiative. A bread maker can be your best friend. We find taking the dough out and finishing it with buns or bread in an oven, is a game changer. Just my little tip ❤

I am not expensive for startup channels . Trust me . I promise your channel growth with high quality editing and strategies or all refund . Let me know what you think .

Thank you for the offer but I have my own editing style and enjoy that part of the film making process :)
Great video. Very helpful. I’m working daily to make these changes also. Thanks❤
I hope they help you. Thank you so much for watching :)
Thankyou for your wise words..God bless you and your daughter...
So nice of you. God bless you as well and thank you for watching :)
Are gophers and groundhogs the same thing?
I believe ground hogs are a little bigger but they look similar! So maybe they are a bigger version. I can only imagine the destruction of a larger one. Oh my!
Lovely video! Can you please share the recipe for the dough without the starter? I couldn’t find it - thank you! ❤
@@margal3120 it’s there now! I am so sorry, I didn’t realize it wasn’t there. Thank you for letting me know. I hope you enjoy the pizza ☺️
I always think-if we would get rid of our parents the day they get older and "ugly"? I dont think so, so why do it with things we love, use and do their job perfectly
@@yap4808 right! Exactly. Thank you for watching!
Amen!❤
Amen!!

Your pie looks amazing!!! Don’t ever apologize for imperfections! I would have so enjoyed a piece😊😊

I'm aware that sellers want me to open my wallet and hand them my cash or click "buy" online.
Hi there, how’s it going another amazing content
Very well said! I really enjoyed this video for many reasons:) We do have a lot of things coming to us to buy now mentality and it can become a obsession for people as it gives you temporary pleasure that does not last. I left the corporate world and I am a full time housewife and I have enjoyed it immensely! Life is not as stressed and I enjoy taking care of our home and my husband and gardening and cooking and baking. We have a 2005 car and it's still going and it's 2024! God is good:) Taking time to be in your thoughts and having peace and calm is what is needed for good mental as well as physical health. I do believe in budgeting and sometimes we do treat ourselves with something we want and life is about balance. Thank you for the practical tips on living with less and with what you have and can afford and a more simpler life to enjoy! Fantastic video!!!!
I love it! Your life sounds absolutely peaceful and lovely. I enjoy those things so much myself and I have to tell you on the car, doesn't it feel good?? I could not believe how good I felt when I traded my leased car in a few years ago and bought something I could pay off quickly. I feel like I beat the system LOL. Thank you for watching ❤️
@@aquaintlife Thanks so much:) It really is a more abundant life for me. Much slower and less stressful. Life can be a beautiful thing to enjoy when you have balance and can appreciate your blessings and make others life a little brighter too! It does really feel satisfying to have a car that long and own it and I am happy for you that you were able to get the car you needed and what a blessing! Your most welcome:) Have a nice day!😀
Oh my what timing! I was just this morning, looking at a new shiny and gorgeous electric tea kettle… and then asked myself um, how about the one I have in the cabinet? It works perfectly fine, not pretty but 100% functional! So I removed myself from the computer… I spent today puttering through the rooms and decluttering (it amazes me how I don’t have any clutter around but still can declutter things) and was asking myself why did I buy this? I have decluttered my you tubers as well bc I am finding so many have either become billboards that are selling so many things per video while telling you to be a minimalist, or don’t mention they have housekeepers, gardeners and tutors running their homes while showing you videos of them doing those things in small amounts. I’m fine it’s that’s their choice, but don’t admit it in buried videos (or books) and try to sell the opposite later. Thank you for staying authentic! I’m at a place now that I want quiet and peace and lightly living. Thanks!! ❤
@@MichelleL22 I have been exactly there with my purchases! Asking myself the very same question. And the tea kettle is especially funny because that’s one of the items I want to replace every time I see someone’s really pretty one. Decluttering does feel very nice and something I am working on as well. Enjoy your declutterred spaces. Thank you so much for watching! Ps. The perfect Instagram accounts make me feel that way 🤨.
THIS right here 👏🏽!!
Love the lemon placemats that looked beautiful and so peaceful
I buy a bag every week! Theres something so beautiful about them in a bowl.
What EVOO do you use?
I try to find the best quality I can. I really have been liking Carapelli Extra Virgin. If I can't find that I try to find one that is bottled in Italy or even Spain. I want the good stuff 🙌
Beautiful the room turned out beautiful… did you have the gray and blue before. I love that combination ❤👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I painted it a few years ago. One winter night when I was sick and tired of an old way too dark color mistake I had made when we moved in. I got in the car and grabbed some painted and painted for hours. It is much better then it was! There is something very calming about a good blue.
Marty is just a doll lol so cute ! WOW look at those veggies and flowers . Marty looks like a tiny Toe-Toe ( Wizard of oz) lol 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🌺🌺🌺🌺🌹🙋🏻♀️❤️❤️❤️❤️❣️ ( as you can see I’m playing catch-up …….. those table fans are great keep the flying bugs away from your food. So blessed that your garden is producing darling
How lovely I wish I could go visit you and Paris. She is just darling. I need to get in a pool it’s been years. I just love your house just love it. ❤❤❤❤👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼God Bless you both 🙋🏻♀️🧡
That would be so fun! Maybe one day. 💕😊
@@aquaintlife oh we would really have fun and I would love talking with both of you ❤️❤️❤️🙋🏻♀️
Physiology was my fave and love jimmy stewart classics 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙋🏻♀️
Great thoughts
So true...thanks ❤
@@lindasmith5190 thank you! 😊
I don’t see the recipe in description box
Its there now! I don't know what happened! Maybe the same thing as your comments, it got erased. Hopefully it stays this time. Sorry about that.
@@aquaintlife lol 😂 i got it made it and it was superb
Your so lucky to have those wonderful orchards on your moms property, your daughter working with you and being your best friend is such a blessing. I had no idea you had a hydrator we have one too… just not able to harvest anything here in the mountains due to dear, bears etc. even the green house those weasels I’m going to make some orange scones. Ya made me want to bake lol you make the world a better place Roxanna loved this video too
@@susanvelez6534 awe your so kind ❤️. Yes on the dehydrator 🙌 it works well! But nothing yet for you? That’s rough with so many pest eating your harvest. I hope you find a way to deter them. Hope your doing well ❤️😊
@@aquaintlife it will never happen as long as we live hear, which we may not be able to much longer. Daniel’s treatment ( chemo/ radiation) and stem cell transplant ( I think they are looking at Nov-Dec for that) we can not be here in the winter too much snow we need to get him to all his appointments. So the house will be going up for sale. I’m hoping we can end up with him healthy in a normal home where I can have my little garden. Pray for us sweetie.
I still have my yellow brown mixer I purchased when I was 18 beam and still works that’s my baby lol 🧡🙋🏻♀️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️❤️
Hello my darling you look stunning! I love your hair and this was a great video, great topic! Stick with it. Great job 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I’ve been so busy with his chemo radiation etc. I’ve missed you im taking it easy today and will be catching up.
@@susanvelez6534 hello there! I am so happy to hear from you. I pray the treatments are working and you both are as well as can be ❤️🙏. Enjoy your rest day. It’s so needed.
@@aquaintlife yes I’m exhausted poor guy 🥺🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
Loved this video, Roxanna! About five years ago, I took control of my spending, and in doing this, I was able to pay off my mortgage 9 years early! When I do shop for things that are not needed, my rule is that I have to absolutely LOVE it before I will buy it, and 9 times out of 10, I usually don't buy it! I do practice some of these tips, and they work! Thanks for a great video, and have a great rest of your weekend!
@@loriholland6431 that’s amazing on your mortgage! I hope to be able to do that as well. What a great feeling. Having to love it is a great rule to have. Have a great weekend too ❤️
@@aquaintlife Thank you, Roxanna, it is a great feeling!! You can do it too!
@@loriholland6431 🙌🙌
This is so beautiful ❤️
Thank you!!
@@aquaintlife you're welcome ❤️
I am a relatively new subscriber and didn't know your backstory. Thank you for taking the time to share. I was a sahm for 6 years years and I loved every minute of it. I am now an empty nester and looking forward to early retirement soon and will hopefully be helping taking care of grandbabies!! VERY excited about this!
Hi and welcome!! Congratulations on an early retirement! What a wonderful way to spend your time! I hope you enjoy every minute of your time with them. That is so special ❤️
Thank you!!! I will definitely use some of these to redirect my brain!
@@andreasupermommy I hope you find them helpful 😊
Great video and thank you for sharing
So are you saying I shouldn’t go to Hobby Lobby tomorrow and check out their Fall decor?😂 Jk Great tips in todays video 👍🏼
@@olive1524 lol!! That place is dangerous
@@aquaintlife it sure is!!
Hi Roxanna, Thank You for sharing this very inspiring video, along with some practical tips as well. I like the quote from Joshua Becker that you shared at the end, along with snippets from some of your past videos, that show what some of life's joys really consist of, for many of us... spending time with love ones, laughter, creating, being Grateful, etc. ❤ Thank You again Sweetheart. Lord willing, until next time.🙏🏾 Love In Christ, Paula
Hi, I’m new to your vlog and love love love it.. what temp did you pre baked the pizza dough at? Thank you
@@DailyCoffeeandJesus hello and welcome!! I am so glad you’re enjoying the channel. I par bake it at 450 for about 15 minutes, top it and then finish baking it at the same temp until it’s golden 😊
Great tips Roxanna!! ❤
Absolutely loved this video ! Thank you so much ! Its reinforcing the changes ive been thinking of or working towards in my life.
@@daisyrowaro44 oh I am so glad! I hope it helps ❤️
Loved this video ! Thank you so much ! I have tried to practice some of these and really appreciate hearing them from you.
@@daisyrowaro44 I am so glad you did! I find these help me so much and I have to keep reminding myself of them. Thank you for watching 😊
I’m not sure why sometimes my comments get deleted, but it just happened again ugh
@@sharenp3839 really?? Oh my. I am sorry about that! I am not sure what happened. I’ll try to see if there’s anything going on in the backend.
@@aquaintlife this is probably the third time that it’s happened since I’ve been watching you and I don’t know why it’ll say no comments. I write my comment. I wait for it to load and it usually takes a minute and then it loads sometimes it disappears.
@@sharenp3839 that’s so weird. I am not sure why that could have happened. I guess maybe just a glitch.
I luv that bedroom!!!!!!!
We did too!! The lady was so creative. It was beautiful to sleep under.
Hello all... Does anyone know how you can remove the strong beefy tallow smell ?
@@marianneellman1139 I know it does have a smell. I’d try some essential oils to help mask it? Lavender or grapefruit are good ones for the skin.
Delicious! I love the combination of orange and cranberries:)
@@charmainescarborough5646 me too!! So good!
@@aquaintlife Yes, it is :) I would love to see more videos when you have time that combine wonderful flavors like Mexican food which is one of the favorites in our home. Enchiladas with Mexican rice.Thank you!😀
