Thank you so much for your words of encouragement Amy. You have made such a positive impact on my life and I appreciate you for being such a good example of what God wants us to be. Blessings to you.
Thank you for kind words ❤️
You motivate me through every video you make! I'm praying more, cleaning more, cooking more, listening more, whispering (to my kids) more, simplifying life more, and feeling happy more.
I have a saying that I've lived by for 40+ years, and it goes like this.
"Just when you think
no one is listening,
you change a life."
This has never been more true for me.
Thank you, Amy
I appreciate your kind words thank you so much ☺️
Amy that is so adorable! The business I started with my autistic 28 yr. old son is called Tad's Tasty Treats and our signature treat is Whoopie Pies! I'm watching this in pieces while we bake for Christmas orders and to take to the local indoor Farmer's Market. We just finished a batch of Eggnog Whoopie Pies!
So excited for you guys. Yummy!!
Ooooo eggnog whoopie pies sounds yummy!! 💜
I especially love everything you said at the beginning. We are all in different seasons and Gods list to us will look different. All your treats look so festive.
It is so encouraging to hear you say it will get better. I’m still in the nursing/diaper changing season. Sometimes I catch myself becoming too ambitious with my to-do list & getting discouraged when I don’t even come close to completing it. Then I realize I have these very simple basics that need covered & I am accomplishing that... and that IS something. Thank you for your encouraging words 🙏❤️
Welcome 😊
Oh friend! I have no idea how this showed up in my feed today, but I *needed* to hear these words. Thank you for always sharing your love of the Lord and the wisdom He’s given you.
He is good
This was the first time I ever saw you sit on the couch and relax. You definitely deserve it!
I don't do it often lol
You are just SO inspirational and I aspire to help people feel as comfortable in their skin as you do!
Hi Amy💕 I always watch but can't comment most of the time as I watch you while working😳love your words of wisdom and always uplifting💕. It always brightens my day and brings me love light and a grateful heart! Thank you for you💕😘💕Wishing you and your beautiful family a very Merry Magical and Blessed Christmas😘❤️😘
Thank you for your kind words ♥️ have a blessed day
You are such a blessing to those moms with young children. There is so much pressure for moms of young children to do it all, but you've got it right - if they need a nap, take a nap. Enjoy the babies, enjoy your kids, your family. Do what you can do and that is what is right for that person. Thank you so much or that encouragement for those young families out there. Amy - Way too much frosting! LOL! Thanks for sharing!
Have a blessed day!
I really needed to hear what you said in the first 13 minutes of your vlog today. It's so important for us to encourage other women to extend a little grace to themselves. I needed that reminder too. Thank you Amy.
I'm thanking the Lord:). He knows what you need to hear:)
Thank you for your words and encouragement. I get easily overwhelmed and I have a little one and 2 older kids so I'm busy with them everyday. There's not alot of time for me but looking to the Lord I know will help me get through. I appreciate your thoughts and how you motivate!
Thanks for sharing and yes we will get there Momma's!
Above your cabinet looks cozy and festive.
The first 10 minutes of this video for me made me cry, it felt like it was meant just for me!
I have been so hard on myself about what I can't do rather than focussing on what I can do and have already done!
I have a 2.5 year old and 10 month old and some days I feel like a failure.
Thank you Amy, your calming spirit gets me through many rough moments!
Merry Christmas 💗
God is good
@@amymaryon so, so good!!! All the time!!
Hiya Amy watching all your videos from start to finish love the gift from Israel what a beautiful thoughtful gift great video like always always motivation from start to finish god bless you all xx
Thank you for this! My children are 4 and 18 months. It feels like a never ending cycle throwing stuff in closets and wiping things down at night so I don't wake up to a disaster in the morning and once the kids are up it's back to a mad house again. I work full time and do my best to make healthy meals and take care of everything while still being their mom and having fun with them. It feels like there aren't enough hours in the day, every day.
You do what you can and the rest will wait :)
So on Sunday I made a few freezer meals and then came down with a sickness.... so they have come in handy this week. Feeling better today and hoping I can get some shopping done after the kids are done with school today. Thank you for your absolutely positive energy and tips on being an awesome mama!
Praying for quick healing 🙏
Good morning Amy!!🙂🙂 Wow great delicious cookies and pretzels!!🥨🥨🍪🍪 Have a Great Day!!🌷🌷
You too !
Skater girl???😂😂😂😂 I had forgot all about that song. But it was Skater boy. How funny. That made my whole day. I love your videos. I watch them first thing in the morning.
Lol love it
Thank you so much for your encouraging words. You make a difference. God is good.
I'm a NEW subscriber coming from Jamerill Stewart's channel ❤ I absolutely LOVE your channel. Especially your letter board. Thank you so much for sharing the Good News! God Bless
I am glad you are here.love Jamerrill!!
Toad in the hole is totally different in the uk 🇬🇧 here it’s sausages in a Yorkshire pudding batter cooked in the oven .
Thank you for your message about doing ONE thing today. I am 24 weeks pregnant and was diagnosed with the flu on Monday. It has been driving me nuts to just rest. Yesterday I decided I was tackling the dishes (with the help of the dishwasher) and it felt SO good to get that one thing done.
Praying for quick healing 🙏
Hi Amy....I have been watching your videos for some time now....you are such an inspiration. My house is more in order now, thanks to you and your ideas. One thing that I would like to share with you is a fantastic tip with the ribbons in your jumpers/tops. Cut them out and use them as ribbon to tie bows on christmas gifts....perhaps your food treats! Happy New Year!
Oh great idea thank you for sharing ❤️
I wish my anxiety wasn’t so consuming I pray to be like you and live like you ❤️
U R U & super special! Keep that message in ur head and also develop a skill of some type. I've discovered that confidence in a skill helps to curb anxiety but its NOT A CURE. Its just they way we are if ur an anxious type. I get so worked up over syuff that hasnt yet happened. Inside i kinda freak out if were expecting company or if a test from Dr came back inconclusive or WHAT IF MY LOVED 1 MAKES A BAD DECISION😲!?! All of these things have sent me into a tizzy before but u just NEED TO BREATHE ( so hard to do during a panic attack ) & FIND THE JOY! I once was soooo perplexed by quotes like " find the joy " or " give ur worries to God". My misunderstanding of these concepts angered me at one time, like oh sure id love to give away my stresses and find some of that joy ( insane amounts of sarcasm injected there). I had a situation of loss and death that made taking my nect breath feel painful and completely uninspired to go on but I HAD TO bc i had my kids that depend on me. Sometimes a call to duty can pull u away from anxiety alot of the time it can cause it too but its our PERSPECTIVE that those quotes relate to. HOW WILL WE FEEL when we-must address these situations? If i dive into a productive joyful task when I'm stressed it brings me a sense of calm like I GOT THIS. IDK what to do about it yet or how to process it but i can attempt to find joy amid pain and crisis. Getting used to that mindset also get problem solving gears in the brain goin and ur better able to beat anxiety w skill.
Thank you for sharing ❤️
Hi Amy! It's so much fun to bake with the family! We have lots of laughter and all end up covered in flour lol! Always loved whoopie pies! So beautiful you received the package from Israel! Brooklyn did a great job on the skateboard! It's freezing here too! Have a wonderful night! See you tomorrow! God bless!
Awwwwww you blessed us with a long video. You personally inspire me everytime I listen to you speak to us. Thankyou you have been a blessing to me .Your kids are awesome. Love you Amy
Great video. I saw where you have a little over 80 thousand subscribers. I remember I started watching you when you had 20 thousand. Way to go. Glad I am here to se you grow😀❤️👌🏻
Thank you. It is exciting 😊
I make those toe in a hole but I call mine eggs in a basket .... that’s my grandson & granddaughter’s favorite thing to eat at anytime and they’re 18 & 20 years old they have eating that since they were so little 💙💖💙💖💙💖💙💖💙💖💙💖💙💖 those snacks you guys got to try how awesome is that 👍🏼
Extra icing is good between 2 graham crackers for snacks. My mother always made these for us when other things were not available.
Amy thank you for all the encouragement. I needed this I have 2 year old that sick and a newborn my hubby works night so there so many night that I am home alone trying to balance both babies. And then he sleeps during the day to go to work again tonight. So sometimes I feel like a single parent. Your right I’m adding too much to my list I started a UA-cam channel so I’m finding it harder to juggle all this. I know I love the idea of having the memories to watch later. I love baking.
You will get this momma...do what is best for your family...my husband worked nights for most of our marriage..it was hard but made me learn to do what i do today:).
Amy I am from Lancaster Co, PA and we have tons of whoopie pies and even a special whoopie pie day each year. So I am anxious to see your video. I live in Amish country. : )
Also a nice tip is if you take an orange and put cloves all over,it will smell amazing!I put it also to my car for about a week and smells delicious!🍊🍊
Toad in a hole I love it! We used to call it egg in a hole...we also used to use a drinking glass to cut the hole in the middle for the egg...or a round cookie cutter. Thank you for the awesome AWESOME video!!!! I hope you and your sweet family have a very merry Christmas!
What a very nice package from the Holy Land !! I would love the Whoopi pies , they look delicious..
Hi Amy..... Another inspiring vlog.... Ur kids help you making cookies..... Almost reminded me days when we were kids. Love your vlogs and your family. Your kids are so adorable. God bless you and ur family 👍💕💕
Your words today were so encouraging and blessed my heart. Thank you for allowing the Lord to use you to speak life into us and encourage us.
Blessings. 🙏
Great skateboarding Brooklyn!! I love your sneakers they are so cute! Amy those whoopie pies look delish!!
Amy, You’re amazing, and you inspire me so much!
Use the leftover frosting to make graham cracker cookie sandwiches, then they can be dipped in chocolate if you want.
Yum
Hi Amy! Love the gifts you received ! The whoopie pies look great! As always stay inspirational Stay blessed 💜!
Fun video, cookies and snacks from Israel, thank you for sharing, you are so inspiring.
We also make whoopie pies. I have tons of pumpkin leftover from Thanksgiving, so I think I'll be gathering up my fragments and making pumpkin whoopie pies. Also, they freeze well. Blessings!
Thank you for the beautiful card. I love it. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to you & your family. I just love watching you & your family.
I’m so glad to see you set down and take a break. Your a great mom, god bless and hope y’all have a wonderful Christmas.
Thank you for wonderful words of encouragement today, I so needed this reminder.
Hi Amy Your home looks so beautiful with the new floors & love the sofa with the tree in the background!! All your work has really paid off. Blessings Daphne
Thank u
Today is my cookie baking day, this video is very fitting!
We live in a tiny rural town of 200ppl with the "main" neighboring towns being 900ppl, 700ppl and 360ppl no kidding every town neighboring us has a dollar general now in the last year they just went up so quick!
Good afternoon noon sweetie you are an inspiration to every mom or woman who watch your videos I love your videos..Take care and God bless ♡
You can put that orange cinnamon potpourri mix in your crockpot/slow cooker on warm and the water will last a lot longer and save your butane gas for your stove as well.
I love seeing ur videos.... I'm from Mauritius... I have been seeing since more than a year now....I'm a mom of 3 with lots of problems going on in life... But thanks to all your tips... Especially freezer meals.... Really helps a lot... God bless and happy holidays..
I am glad you are here and it is helping you in your life. Have a great day!
Have a great day 👍👍👍👍❤️
You as well
Thank you for sharing your words of encouragement today. I surely needed them and appreciate you. Melekalikimaka (Merry Christmas)
Omg I've missed so many of your videos but I'm back wacthing
I don't understand how some people don't like your videos, I love your videos. You give me energy and make me motivated.
One question, How do you clean your coffee pot?
It isn't for everyone:). I just wipe with cloth..every so often i will run vinegar through the brewing process and use a brush to clean down on the inside where it holds water...that does get yucky.
@@amymaryon yes it does. Thank you so much. I think we actually shop at the same Walmart. I live in Hendersonville NC. I would freak out if I ever ran into you lol
I love how genuine and understanding you are, not trying to act like superwoman and saying okay try doing 100 cookies because I have 10 kids and find time, instead you understand that each of us have struggles and seasons in life where even taking a shower becomes hard. That means a lot because other you tubers try to be "role models" and show off some times
Thank you
Yes all things are possible if you seek God and believe.. how awesome to start the day. Thanks
Congratulations on hitting 80k subscribers. Wonderful gift.
It was fun watching you and the children trying the Jewish snacks and them being little food critics. Lol
I enjoyed the video and Brooklyn you did great on the skateboard.
I wanted to taste the Whoopi pies so much along w the peppermint chocolate covered Oreos...
Yummy
love your decorations and what a great quote from the bible.
Her microwave was to high when she wanted it to melt. Thank you for sharing your whoopie pie recipe. Thank you for sharing all your choc things.
My FedEx package was 2 weeks late here. We are having a lot of problems getting our packages from them (everyone in our area). It finally came yesterday. I hope you get your cards on time...whole lot of drama with FedEx on the news.
I would just like to share with you that I was just diagnosed with multiple sclorocis and of course am saddened and frightened. However I find comfort in your videos and faith. Maybe my life is going to change in many ways but my faith will only grow stronger. I will do what I can do and not stress about what I can't. Thank you for calming my mind and giving me strength to face my new world now. God bless you and your beautiful family 🙏💖💖💖
That is the Lord..you seek Him and He will bring you comfort every step of your day..no worries let Him calm your mind always...it is just a diagnosis not an ending to what God can do:). Praying 🙏
Toad in the hole is very different here in the UK here it's a batter mix with sausages in and we serve it with onion gravy yummy x
Ah, yes I love the UK Toad in the Hole. It's so delicious.
Hannukah gelt (money). U can buy those here in the states.
Halvah is also available in America, it’s an acquired taste but I love it!
Great video! I want a whoopie pie now!
I have made confectionery goods since 1984. I have done everything at least once. Ok nice choc is burnt nothing will bring it back. I like the idea of you trying the goods with your kids.
Do you notice how we make smaller ones and before you know it they get bigger and bigger so you can get done.
Lol agreed
Dear Any, I am so blessed to have found your vlog. To find a caring Christian whom I can ask to pray for healing,or support. I buried my dad Sunday and my mom has stage 4 liver cancer. I would like to ask for prayers for my mom, siblings. I am having panic attacks and don’t have health insurance. I know my dad was a Christian and I know he is with our Heavenly Father, but I still miss him terribly. Thanks to all who will pray for us. I pray y’all have a merry Christmas .
Catherine... absolutely...Lord Jesus..I am asking and believing right now Lord that you envelop catherine with your comforting arms of love..let her feel your presence all over her..panic attacks .no more..peace...let peace rule in her body and her mind...fill her heart Lord so that it is overflowing and reaching the people around her. Let your presence be made known to her...she is never alone...and will go through this with you...keep her strong...give her hope and an expectancy that it is going to be alright... believing all these things in your precious name i pray Amen.
amy maryon ty so much
The 1st time i had whoopie pies the cream filling was made with softened room temperature cream cheese and marshmallow fluff whipped till well combined. OH MY GOODNESS IT WAS FANTASTIC!!!!!! Urs looked absolutely amazing also Amy. Merry Christmas Maryon's! 😇❄💙🎄⛄☃
Your toad in hole is different in England we make a better with flour milk eggs cook sausages then put sausages in batter and place in oven and have it with mashed potatoes and peas and gravy.
I was a skater girl WAY back in 1987-89! Its definitely NOT like riding a bike! Keep it up Brooklyn!
Love the chopped salads. Asian is my fave. Haven't seen the Mediterranean one.
God does not say there won't be difficult times in your life but He will be right there with you! I have to watch your videos to know what day it is, ha! Thanks & Blessings
~Sidney
Good morning ... I’m from the Yukon Terr in Canada
Yay! Nice to have you
Good morning. Not mommy shaming, but you look really tired today, are you taking care of you? We know this can be a stressful time of year. Lots of fun stuff. My mom made woopie pies for us growing up all the time. It was much cheeper to get baking ingredients than baked goods so mom did lots of baking. What is in your large roll that you can put hot items right on your table? Have a great day. I will see you tomorrow
I was tired last week. Busy times.. parchment paper
Oh I really hope that you are right, Amy. I've been chronical ill for about seven years. 2019 started at the hospital and healing after that. A lot of pain. I diden't feel better until midsummer. But now I'm ready to enjoy life and dare to hope that 2020 will be a good year without pain. Less medication will be my next goal. So I really hope that you are right. That it is possible to be better. Loved this video. Hugs from Norway.
I am believing 2020 will be a great year minus the pain!!
❤
Hi Amy I live in England and wot l call road in the hole is Yorkshire pudding with sausages l think you call them popovers
"Okay Mamas..." okay okay, I'm getting up to do my exercise! :D Thank you for pushing through and doing your best to bring us along! I'm going to stop wishing things were different, and get to work on myself! ;)
Love this!
Amy it would be nice to see what people have sent you and I'm sure they too would like to see the family open the items sent. More often
I will do more thank you
Maine State cookie is a whoopie pie. we have so many places that make really good whoopie.But there is a bakery in Freeport Maine and all they make is whoopie .
Amen Amy so true God bless you this is Joann from st.louis
Every year another pain. Lol I've had alot of stress n have to make myself calm down. I've always been kinda hyper n busy person, I've had to slow down some n have gained weight over yrs after hysterectomy n 4 times in hospital after. Grandkids now living here , have stay on my toes. Lol
Great video
I’m just going through set of your older videos here, enjoying them too, your toad in a hole is so different from ours in the UK. Ours is a Yorkshire pudding (I think you guys call them popovers?) with sausages within them. They are cooked in the oven in fat, it’s kinda like a pancake batter but not. Very tasty but not healthy at all.
Hi Amy what is in your spray bottles that you spray your floors with please ? Love the videos and happy holidays to you and your family xx
Vinegar
Hello Amy
Hi Amy! I know this is from last Christmas but I just had to leave a comment. New subscriber here from Ohio. Thank you sooo much for your lovely words about our Dear Lord! I just have to ask, are you the Energizer Bunny? I don't know how you do it all! Girl you make me tired! Loved the cookie baking! Those whoopie pies look delicious! Glad I found your channel! You're an inspiration! God bless you and your sweet family! Hugs
I feel like it sometimes ☺️. Nice to meet you ..have a wonderful day
My boyfriend skates and he gets all his stuff from Zumiez. It’s expensive though so be warned. Around 150$ Canadian. But it will last her a long time and better boards, wheels and trucks will be safer for her to ride as well. They are prepaid boards there but she can also choose what board she wants, grip tape, wheels, trucks and bearings
Thanks so much for informing us of this:)
Hello from Rovaniemi,Finland I am back from my winter camping,and loved it even when there was a winter storm and spending it in a tent there is nothing like the northern lights its magical,there is a video on youtube called Santa Claus Village before christmas 2019 Rovaniemi Lapland Artic Circle Father Christmas it is a long title it's a new video if you have a minute take a look at it,I am at the village as we speak I always think of you and your family being here at Christmas your children would love it absolutely love it here it's really a special place it's very magical and a ton of fun here a true winter wonderland here not to mention the northern lights how special they are there and there is so much to do here.Tomorrow I am going cross country skiing I will probably do 15 km.Lol to you and your family.
Annette i am so glad you are able to relax and enjoy these wonderful things..isn't UA-cam awesome to share such great travel experiences? Love it and enjoyed watching. Thank you have a blessed day. As i know you do
It is a beautiful place..very wonderful! Go check this out ..
I always make too much icing too.
You keep your paint brushes in the fridge?
And how are you baking sheets so perfect looking? Lol
Mine look like they have been trough it.
Yes so i can touch up paint anytime. Brand new :). Just replaced mine after years and years
I’m on a diet, and yes...at Christmas time. Now isn’t that funny! I am definitely taking down the recipe for those delicious looking cookies!
xo for another great vlog!
Take 2 ritz crackers, put marshmallow cream in the center then coat whole cookie with chocolate coating. Before I coat, I freeze for about 10 minutes, makes easier to coat. Have you made these? They are so good! I like that sweet salty taste.
Amy, maybe you can make oatmeal creme cookies with additional frosting.
Haha, I have never heard of toad in a hole before....and when you started making it, I seen it's what my family just calls egg in the middle lol....we aren't very creative in naming things in nova scotia haha....its either very plain names like egg in the middle or things like Kejimkujik lol
It is also traditional to put chocolate coins in the children's stockings each christmas in the UK 💞
Trader Joe’s has Bamba and it’s yummy! I think it’s only $0.99. In case anyway was interested in finding it in the states. 😃
I love the memory board. Can you put a link on where you got it?
Thanks for being a blessing to my life.
Rosavinci...:) Thanks for watching 😊
"Maybe you need to take a nap today." 🛎️🛎️🛎️...can you tell my boss that??? 😆
#wintercold
I believe Miss Brooklyn can have a custom skateboard made for her at Zummies for a reasonable price! I just watched a video from another family channel and their son Krew saved all his money and had an awesome one made! I hope that helps and I’m so sorry that this is such a late comment as I’m new to your channel but am so in love with all your videos!
Thanks for idea
Suggestion....could you use the frosting for the Jesus birthday cake you all usually do? I was looking at it the other day and I noticed it had white frosting.
Yes it is the same kind
I love watching your recipes and meal preps. I know you have a lot to say but I just can’t understand what you’re saying even after months of watching you. It is very frustrating because I know you put a lot of effort into each video and I often rewind but still can’t get it. 😢 Thank you so much for all the work you put into this. Your sweet, genuine personality shines through.
Thank you for sharing ❤️. No worries 😊
