We are so blessed and fortunate that we live in a country where we have the opportunity to have homes, food on the table, clean water and clothing. If we always realize that not everyone is able to live as comfortably as we are here in our nation, we would appreciate all that we have. I try to never take for granted all that we have in our lives. As the saying goes, when we have dishes to do, we had food to eat. When we have laundry to do, we have clothing to wear. When we have housework to do, we have a home to live in. I thank God everyday for everything I have been blessed with and I appreciate all that I have. Thank you for sharing your day!
I love this "As the saying goes, when we have dishes to do, we had food to eat. When we have laundry to do, we have clothing to wear. When we have housework to do, we have a home to live in."
This is the first time that my mom and I came across your videos. My mom wants you to know how proud she is of you with how well you take care of your family and home. Lovely decor. Thanks for sharing this video with us. God bless. 💖
I started a wellness journey and walk outside 10-12 miles a day. It is my time to talk to the Lord. To be thankful for the beauty around me and his creations.
We used to never make our beds. But once starting that habit, I definitely feel happier! Lol I think it makes me feel accomplished, even if nothing else gets done!
I agree I’ve been making my bed every day for decades! It takes two minutes and there’s nothing like coming home to a well-made well-dressed bed and I am happier I don’t know if it’s my bed lol
Just came across your channel love your iPhone decor in your presentation however the baby being that close to that open flame on that stove while you’re cooking or meet me so uneasy. He is can move so quickly Kids can move so fast please be careful I love your channel have a blessed day
I passionately share your desire for beauty around you. Every room in my house makes me happy when I enter it. I don't have one thing in my house that I don't love. The same goes for the plates, cups, etc. that I use each day. I have to say I literally live for beauty. I hope you are training your older sons to help with the cleanup and even doing the dishes, folding laundry, etc. They need to know how to do these things and also how much work they are. I also hope your husband contributes to household "chores" on a regular basis. I am glad you take some time for yourself or things could become overwhelming. It is inspiring to watch you do your daily tasks in such a lovely creative manner.
Sometimes when I get out of bed and get in the shower I start thanking the Lord for a good nights rest, for hot water to shower with, for a warm house, for good food any other things as well. I find myself feeling grateful as I count my blessings. I too love to have beauty in my home and I try to have things I love throughout my home. I make my bed everyday except for rare occasions when I’m in a hurray. As always I love your passion for your home and family. I tried your recipe for the pork, salsa and nachos… it was very good and we have a little 7 year old who lives with us and he ask to have some in his lunch. I’m going to try your egg casserole. All the best to you and your family.
Hi Friend☀️I’m older & live alone so my days are very different than yours, but I too love to cherish the tiny moments & blessings🌼Your Videos bring me such Joy & I’m Grateful for You💛TY
Music always puts a pep in my step while cleaning house and folding laundry, etc. When finished, turn the music off and relax with some refreshment and just enjoy the stillness. At this time I like to thank God that I have a home to clean and the resources to do it myself. TFS
Wonderful video! I just love how you encourage me to get up, change out of my pajamas and throw a little color on my cheeks! I’ve had the privilege recently, of speaking with your sweet mother as she crafts a hand stitched piece for my home. And I was telling her what a lovely lady you are! Thank you for your inspiration! ❤
Aww that’s amazing!! My mom does beautiful work, how neat that she is stitching something for you!! I am trying to talk her into making something for me 😂❤️ Thank you for your kind words!”
@@PineandProspectHome It means so much to me, as an heirloom piece to eventually pass down to my boys. I’m also a homeschool mom with two sons, with the oldest who just left home over the holidays to join the Navy. 😢But, I admire women like you, who keep their faith and family at the forefront. God bless! 💕
Beauty in every little moment! I am trying to practice listening to those tiny voices around the house, appreciating a smaller home so there's less space to clean and more opportunity to spend time together! Also taking PRIDE in making our home cozy and a place my husband finds sanctuary 🥰 Thank you for another heartwarming video 💗💗💗
Making ordinary things beautiful really does help! Our basement laundry room is pretty ugly - just our machines in an unfinished room. I took the time to add a table, wicker baskets, and filled thrifted glass bottles with detergent and cleaning supplies. It makes a huge difference! I even added a faux plant. My husband saw it and said, "hey, that looks nice!" Thanks for the tips and inspiration!
I always knew, from a very young age, that I wanted nothing more than to be a mom & to have a home to care for. First thing in the morning I make the bed, then get ready for the day. I always put on at least a small amount of makeup, this helps me feel like I can conquer whatever the day brings. I go tidy up the kitchen because I know my husband will have prepared himself some breakfast before he spends time having his morning devotions. I do my devotions while sitting in bed drinking my morning coffee that he prepares and brings to me. After getting ready for the day, I spend a few quiet minutes planning out my day. I’m a list maker, so will write some things down that I want to accomplish in the next few hours. When my house is as I like it, tidy and organized, I will spend some time sewing while chatting with one of my 4 sisters. Some days I will pick a specific room and focus my attention there to declutter and donate things that I’m no longer using in my home. My current project is my sewing/crafting room. In the afternoons, I take a short break and work on a puzzle. We’ve almost always got one going on a small table by the living room window. As I’m working on the puzzle, and enjoying the view of the fields surrounding our home, I silently pray for our adult children, their spouses and our grandchildren. I also take this time to be praying for friends and other family members.
Beside keeping our home picked up and cleaned daily (maintenance cleaning, Friday is deep clean and Saturday is laundry day), I keep essential oils in the diffusers in the kitchen, living room and bedrooms, faux florals, live green plants (I am allergic to flowers so no real ones in the house), doing a quick spray of essential oil mattress spray on the upholstered furniture and curtains, making sure the curtains are fully open to allow light shine in (nothing better than sunlight, even winter sunlight brightening up a room), usually music playing in the background quietly, and always something either in the slow cooker or Dutch oven in the oven for dinner.
Good morning Andrea, Thank you for all the shopping tips. My daughter and I are going on a Reading 📚 Thrift Store shopping weekend tomorrow in beautiful Coastel Maine, so your shopping tips came at the perfect time. We're also planning a Mother daughter getaway to Hampton New York, and we're stopping at the Brimfield Massachusetts antique show on our way home in May. It's her Mother's Day gift to me! How lucky am I to have such a wonderful daughter who loves to spend time with me? Truly blessed. Have a lovely day. Peggy 🙏💛
I love having an orchid in the house during the winter months. They last a looong time and are easy to care for. Usually they last about a month and a half. So much longer than any other flowers. Seeing their beautiful blooms during the grey months of winter is such an upper❤
Good Morning Andrea! I am new to your UA-cam channel and am so very happy that I found you! I am a Pastor's wife and love following women who love Jesus and want to be the very BEST Homemaker for their family. Being truly called as a Homemaker to bless my family (my 2 daughters are grown with families of their own), I continue on to make our home as beautiful and cozy for my husband and I to enjoy our life as God has intended. I, too, believe that finding "joy" in the little things and even mundane chores will make those not so exciting things streamline as tasks we can be thankful for. Thank you so much for sharing you life with us. I look forward to watching more videos, and following your blog. You are truly a Blessing to me dear Sister! 😀Love, Joy
Like you, make my bed every single day and add pretty pillows. I also do my hair and make up every day. I think when you feel better about your space as well as yourself, it sets the tone for your day. I also wipe down the counters and the bathroom every day. We do a thorough bathroom cleaning every Saturday as well as strip the beds. Your home is so peaceful and beautiful. It's my style for sure.. Thank you for sharing your day as well as your beautiful family. ❤
In the winter I find it very encouraging to make soup for my husband and myself. I usually make 1 or 2 soups a week. Then on busy days we come home to an easy-to-warm-up meal. There is something comforting about hot soup on a snowy day. My favorites are Tortilla Chicken and Wild Rice Chicken. Recently I've added Potatoe Leek Soup to the list.
For a young woman you are so wise...you make my heart smile...love listening to you.. I'm much older but our thoughts and feelings are much the same...Thankyou and Bless you and your family
I am grateful to the Lord for everyday that he gives me and to appreciate my husband and three children and our home. I count my blessings and admire the beauty God has given. Thank you for this video!
Oh my god this girls video is completely different from all the others I’ve watched on here so calming so beautiful gosh I could go on and on absolutely amazing
I make my bed every day. I heard that if you make your bed everyday, that 85% of your bedroom is organized. Makes me feel like I have accomplished tons.
Thanks Andrea for a sweet winter video.. I’m older now with grandchildren to love and I’ve always loved making my home comfortable and cooking.. especially in the winter.. I have some special mugs I always have my coffee in..Love seeing your family gathered around the table💕 Blessings to you and your family 😌
First of all, I love that kitchen table your husband made. I have memories of my late father when it comes to making my bed. That had to be done as soon as I woke up. I guess it was good practice for my time in the service. I really enjoy your videos because you have such a calming voice, it helps me relax. Looking forward to your next video.
The egg casserole looks delicious and easy....it reminds me of Quiche . I used to make that all the time years ago . Thanks for sharing , now I have a new idea for dinner.
Hi my name is Gail and my family and I live in a very small town in Indiana! We began watching your channel on You Tube quite some time ago and decided to subscribe! I love your decorating ideas, watching you cook, and how you make your lovely home a beautiful home! You are a beautiful young lady and I know you are super busy! We enjoy your channel so very much!! Thank you for such a wholesome channel! 🤗
You have a wonderful attitude towards life. I love your ideas to enjoy everything you do. You are right in making it all enjoyable. I have a habit of saving good or new items for another day. Now I try and open those items and use them myself instead of saving them.
I recently found your videos and absolutely love them! You're so inspiring and encouraging. I'm in my 60's, my mother just passed away last June at 93 and I cared for her the last 4 years of her life. I homeschool my grandchildren and I would love to see how you do homeschool.
Thank you! I am so sorry for your loss. My mom always tells me how hard it is losing your mama, no matter how old you are. You will be in my prayers. 💔 It is so amazing that you are homeschooling your grandchildren! I have two blog posts here that talk about that topic. I also have a post on a homeschool “tour” of where I keep everything. If you go to my blog and type in the word homeschool in the search bar, they will come up. Here are a few links. 😊www.pineandprospecthome.com/day-in-the-life/ www.pineandprospecthome.com/all-about-homeschool-why-we-chose-to-what-we-use/
I so love your home and your taste is my taste. The pale grey in your dining room resonates with me. Homespun checks and old furniture wonderful. Feels like a real home. Yes people who make their bed probably are happier and I wish my youngest daughter would realise that with 2 children that it makes the home look so much nicer too.
Andrea, it's so true that the "little things" make our lives more enjoyable. I now make my morning tea in a pretty 🫖, usually have a simmer pot on the stove in the colder months and use my best dishes for everyday (we don't have littles at home.) Collecting and thrifting items that make you smile as you use them everyday is key. Of course, being grateful for things that we take for granted such as clean water, electricity, a warm home and appliances helps a person find beauty in the mundane. Now, to get the bed made everyday! 😇
Getting up early to feed my horses, is my favorite time of day, the quiet of the barn with the sun shining in, the chirping of the little birds that live in the rafters, listening to the horses eat ❤❤
Beautiful video and sharing and but girl, you had me so nervous watching your baby on that stool while you were cooking those oats, whew!! Anyway, thank you again and yes I agree, we are truly blessed even if we don't own a house out in the country but at least we're not in a shelter or living in the streets or with relatives or those we consider good friends. We are blessed to have what we have and we should always be grateful to God and never take advantage of what we do have and make good use of it all. May God continue to bless you and your beautiful family. Great job!! God bless you always. :)
I've always used the Toll House cookie recipe and recently made them with butter and bacon grease (instead of oil or veg. shorting) and they were amazing!
I love all your videos, Andrea! I wish you were my neighbor, I would learn so much from you. You keep me calmer, more grounded and aware of things I'm using in my home. There are so many things I've noticed you don't use, especially in the kitchen, that I've picked up on ... for example the microwave oven. At least I've never seen you use it. Lol Anyway, thank you for such wonderful content! Thank you for your makeup routine, too!!! That one I've been curious about for a long time, you have beautiful skin/complexion. Thank you again, for your videos.🙂
"Always stay humble and kind" when we are able to see our blessings and be thankful for them we are able to bless others. You do that with your blog and youtube channel. I too am a Norwex fan. I have a lot of it and love the laundry soap. Have a blessed Sunday =) 🙏
I just loved that encouraging conversation, yes it can be hard some times, with things around your home, but I try to find happiness and joy with God's help every day.
I'm new to you channel. Your wonderful! I am 59 in may with ADHD I've had difficulty coping. I declutter, well I'm working on it. You calmed me right down this morning and have great ideas! Your beautiful inside and out and your meal made me want to eat! :)
Love 💕 this video!! It’s true, there is beauty in the mundane. The right attitude and our gratitude for the beauty makes all the difference. Thank you for your beautiful example of joyful living!!
I like to pour my bacon drippings thru a sieve and save it in an old jar I saved. Bacon grease makes everything better, hehe! Also, Andrea, a tip when cutting your peppers, cut with the skin side down on the board, makes it much easier and saves wear on your knife.
Thank you... Since we are inside so much in the winter (even in California.....now with the rains again....thank God...after all the drought years). It's nice to get out between rain drops or on overcast days....take a plastic container with enough water say about 1/3 if container full...and my clippers for the yard...and go cut some stems of different leaves or whatever looks good....even if there might not be flowers yet...but go and cut different texture bush stems, etc....and bring them in to put in a vase....just makes the day a little different😊🎉❤
Thank you for sharing, your ways and words of advice are so calming. As a 60 yr old with 2 grown sons, I wish I would've heard these words and taken them to heart when I was a new mom...I love love being a mom but was quite stressed as a young mom. I'm thrilled you're enjoying life in these little stages instead of regret. 🌷
Beautiful video! I love to watch them. I have always made my bed and taught my three daughters to do their beds every morning. They are all married and mothers and they make their beds every day and so do their children!
Thank you so much, I watched your video for the first time, and I will say you lifted me out of a day on❤ depression. 2024 is my year of health, and I think you can find beauty in the little things in life! Can't wait to go on this journey together.❤
What a lovely video. 💜 I enjoy being able to clean my home. I am terminally ill but I am blessed to still care for my home efficiently. All glory to GOD! 🙏🏽🩵🦋 I enjoy watching your videos. They have helped me relax when my pain levels are high. So, thank you my friend. God bless you. ❤ edit to say: your son is so adorable. How sweet of you to include him in the cooking process.
I love painted floorboards and rugs not a carpet person due to the dirt that gets in and the worry about stains etc. I am lucky enough to have an old house with boards.
There are a lot of " home maker/ influencer" channels on Jew tube. Yours , however, is the only one I have subbed to.. I like that you home school and are a Bible reader. I like your beautiful family. Your are all lovely.I have German/ Norweigian/ Scotch / Welsh\ Irish and Native American heritage . Your family reminds me of many of my own kin folk.
God has given us so much to be thankful for and as the song goes, Everything is beautiful in its own way! It all depends on how we look at it! You breakfast casserole look so delicious and the potatoes really looked yummy! May God bless you and your family
Great video. It takes not long to pick up if we keep on top of everyday life. Love sharing creating a cozy feeling for my home. While cleaning I put Tim Janis music on his music is so soothing. Love your videos.
You will find him on UA-cam and his music is instrumental,Christian, and the music videos are calming and relaxing. I listen to it in the background, while I spend time with the Lord and do my daily journaling of what I am grateful for. I never chat I just enjoy his music. Have a blessed day Sweet Andrea✝️🙏🏻
We love the sourdough chocolate chip cookie recipe too! I almost always wear dish gloves and an apron to help with the monotony of doing dishes. It somehow makes it so much easier in my mind. Loved this video Andrea!
Oh to be blessed with a laundry room! I have been in my home for 51 years and the washer and dryer are in the garage ... next to the car! I would love to have a pretty space to decorate and do this mundane chore. The garage is hot in the summer and freezing in the winter, so you get in and out ASAP. I do love my coffee in a pretty or seasonal mug. I recently found Cold Foam in a can like whipped cream at my grocery store! Its like having a specialty coffee at home. You must have very well behaved boys. There are very few moms who homeschool with 4 boys at home who get to put their feet up with a cup of tea everyday. Good for you! And breakfast for dinner has been my families favorite since my son was little. He is now 51 and its still his favorite! And all my 3 grandsons too!
I have your soap dispenser I got it at Target and have a crock with cute utensils on the side of my sink it looked so cute on the side of your sink I had to find things that looked similar for mine. Thank you for all the inspiration to keep a tidy pretty home! Your channel is a blessing!!
you seem such a sweet gal. your home and family are beautiful and so are you. im getting the blumene to give it a try. my confidence level has been super low lately so thank you for sharing that.
I always enjoy your videos. They are so fresh and organic. Your face pro product just blended in nicely and was informative. I feel some gals just make a video to talk about a new sponsor they have. But your videos are full of very enjoyable content. Love your meals as well. God Bless.
I bought the Blumene from one of your links a few months back - do you use the green light for wrinkle reduction? I've been using the red on my face and green one for my neck! I love your makeup as well, you look beautiful as always! God Bless you and your family.
I have just found your videos and I'm enjoying them very much. You have such a calm demeanor which makes viewing a pleasure. See you in the next video.
Thank you for the video, it was thoroughly enjoyable and I'm always struck by the peace that simply oozes from the walls of your home. I have a question - when you were making your potatoes, you remarked about adding lots of salt. Is this just a personal family preference or another reason?
We are so blessed and fortunate that we live in a country where we have the opportunity to have homes, food on the table, clean water and clothing. If we always realize that not everyone is able to live as comfortably as we are here in our nation, we would appreciate all that we have. I try to never take for granted all that we have in our lives. As the saying goes, when we have dishes to do, we had food to eat. When we have laundry to do, we have clothing to wear. When we have housework to do, we have a home to live in. I thank God everyday for everything I have been blessed with and I appreciate all that I have. Thank you for sharing your day!
That is so very true! Thank you! 😊
I loved this video!❤
Amen to that!! I’m constantly telling the Lord thank you for my warm house, food, clothes etc.!!!!! ✝️✝️✝️
I love this "As the saying goes, when we have dishes to do, we had food to eat. When we have laundry to do, we have clothing to wear. When we have housework to do, we have a home to live in."

I love your decorating ideas, watching you cook, and how you make your lovely home a beautiful home! You are a beautiful young lady and I know you are super busy! We enjoy your channel so very much!! Thank you for such a wholesome channel! 🤗
Thank you so much for your kind words! 😊
You are stunning. Your home and family are also lovely. Your videos bring me such joy. Thank you. 💖💕🥰
Thank you so much for your kindness! 😊
You have a wonderful attitude towards life. I love your ideas to enjoy everything you do. You are right in making it all enjoyable. I have a habit of saving good or new items for another day. Now I try and open those items and use them myself instead of saving them.
I recently found your videos and absolutely love them! You're so inspiring and encouraging. I'm in my 60's, my mother just passed away last June at 93 and I cared for her the last 4 years of her life. I homeschool my grandchildren and I would love to see how you do homeschool.
Thank you! I am so sorry for your loss. My mom always tells me how hard it is losing your mama, no matter how old you are. You will be in my prayers. 💔 It is so amazing that you are homeschooling your grandchildren! I have two blog posts here that talk about that topic. I also have a post on a homeschool “tour” of where I keep everything. If you go to my blog and type in the word homeschool in the search bar, they will come up. Here are a few links. 😊www.pineandprospecthome.com/day-in-the-life/

Loved all your ideas. I love to play soft praise music when I do my chores, it always helps! 😇
I have about 4-5 wicker laundry baskets that I have thrifted also. I love them.
I so love your home and your taste is my taste. The pale grey in your dining room resonates with me. Homespun checks and old furniture wonderful. Feels like a real home. Yes people who make their bed probably are happier and I wish my youngest daughter would realise that with 2 children that it makes the home look so much nicer too.
Andrea, it's so true that the "little things" make our lives more enjoyable. I now make my morning tea in a pretty 🫖, usually have a simmer pot on the stove in the colder months and use my best dishes for everyday (we don't have littles at home.) Collecting and thrifting items that make you smile as you use them everyday is key. Of course, being grateful for things that we take for granted such as clean water, electricity, a warm home and appliances helps a person find beauty in the mundane. Now, to get the bed made everyday! 😇
Getting up early to feed my horses, is my favorite time of day, the quiet of the barn with the sun shining in, the chirping of the little birds that live in the rafters, listening to the horses eat ❤❤
Beautiful video and sharing and but girl, you had me so nervous watching your baby on that stool while you were cooking those oats, whew!! Anyway, thank you again and yes I agree, we are truly blessed even if we don't own a house out in the country but at least we're not in a shelter or living in the streets or with relatives or those we consider good friends. We are blessed to have what we have and we should always be grateful to God and never take advantage of what we do have and make good use of it all. May God continue to bless you and your beautiful family. Great job!! God bless you always. :)
You really are living such a beautiful life and it’s very inspiring to watch you navigate your days with your beautiful family.
We fix breakfast for dinner about 2 times a week. I’ll be trying your breakfast. Thanks for sharing .
I've always used the Toll House cookie recipe and recently made them with butter and bacon grease (instead of oil or veg. shorting) and they were amazing!
Beauty and the mundane - brilliant! It makes such a difference! It can be applied to so many areas of our lives. Thank you for this - inspiring! 👍♥️♥️
You are a virtuous woman! Your husband and children praise you!! You have a beautiful home ❤
Thank you! 😊
I love all your videos, Andrea! I wish you were my neighbor, I would learn so much from you. You keep me calmer, more grounded and aware of things I'm using in my home. There are so many things I've noticed you don't use, especially in the kitchen, that I've picked up on ... for example the microwave oven. At least I've never seen you use it. Lol
Anyway, thank you for such wonderful content! Thank you for your makeup routine, too!!! That one I've been curious about for a long time, you have beautiful skin/complexion.
Thank you again, for your videos.🙂
"Always stay humble and kind" when we are able to see our blessings and be thankful for them we are able to bless others. You do that with your blog and youtube channel. I too am a Norwex fan. I have a lot of it and love the laundry soap. Have a blessed Sunday =) 🙏
Always light a beautiful candle and put out fresh flowers whenever possible! ❤❤❤
Your home is absolutely beautiful and cozy. I love your videos.
I just loved that encouraging conversation, yes it can be hard some times,
with things around your home, but I try to find happiness and joy with God's help every day.
Great ideas! Very inspiring. Thank you.
What a great idea putting heavy cream into your scrambled eggs! I've never thought of that. Continued Blessings!
I'm new to you channel. Your wonderful! I am 59 in may with ADHD I've had difficulty coping. I declutter, well I'm working on it. You calmed me right down this morning and have great ideas! Your beautiful inside and out and your meal made me want to eat! :)
Love 💕 this video!! It’s true, there is beauty in the mundane. The right attitude and our gratitude for the beauty makes all the difference. Thank you for your beautiful example of joyful living!!
I love this. I’m still working on my collection for a beautiful home. One thing that really brings me joy is my uniform glass spice containers.
Thank you! 😊
Your home is definitely beautiful and your voice is so soothing.
The cat behind the pillow as she makes her bed. lol How adorable!
I like to pour my bacon drippings thru a sieve and save it in an old jar I saved. Bacon grease makes everything better, hehe! Also, Andrea, a tip when cutting your peppers, cut with the skin side down on the board, makes it much easier and saves wear on your knife.
Thank you for these tips! 😊
Thank you... Since we are inside so much in the winter (even in California.....now with the rains again....thank God...after all the drought years). It's nice to get out between rain drops or on overcast days....take a plastic container with enough water say about 1/3 if container full...and my clippers for the yard...and go cut some stems of different leaves or whatever looks good....even if there might not be flowers yet...but go and cut different texture bush stems, etc....and bring them in to put in a vase....just makes the day a little different😊🎉❤
Thank you for sharing, your ways and words of advice are so calming. As a 60 yr old with 2 grown sons, I wish I would've heard these words and taken them to heart when I was a new mom...I love love being a mom but was quite stressed as a young mom. I'm thrilled you're enjoying life in these little stages instead of regret. 🌷
Beautiful video! I love to watch them. I have always made my bed and taught my three daughters to do their beds every morning. They are all married and mothers and they make their beds every day and so do their children!
That’s wonderful! 😊
Thank you so much, I watched your video for the first time, and I will say you lifted me out of a day on❤ depression. 2024 is my year of health, and I think you can find beauty in the little things in life! Can't wait to go on this journey together.❤
Love your floss tube and the info you give out...I am in my 60s and thought I would give that bluene a try..Blessings!
That breakfast for dinner looked amazing.
Thank you 😊
What a lovely video. 💜 I enjoy being able to clean my home. I am terminally ill but I am blessed to still care for my home efficiently. All glory to GOD! 🙏🏽🩵🦋 I enjoy watching your videos. They have helped me relax when my pain levels are high. So, thank you my friend. God bless you. ❤ edit to say: your son is so adorable. How sweet of you to include him in the cooking process.
Thank you! You are in my prayers! 🙏🏻❤️
I love painted floorboards and rugs not a carpet person due to the dirt that gets in and the worry about stains etc. I am lucky enough to have an old house with boards.
There are a lot of " home maker/ influencer" channels on Jew tube. Yours , however, is the only one I have subbed to.. I like that you home school and are a Bible reader. I like your beautiful family. Your are all lovely.I have German/ Norweigian/ Scotch / Welsh\ Irish and Native American heritage . Your family reminds me of many of my own kin folk.
God has given us so much to be thankful for and as the song goes, Everything is beautiful in its own way!
It all depends on how we look at it!
You breakfast casserole look so delicious and the potatoes really looked yummy!
May God bless you and your family
Keeping up with household chores to me is the easiest way to stay on tract….. your egg dish for supper really looks delicious, I must try !!!.
You don't need make up. You are beatiful naturally.
Thank you 😊
Love this video so much!❤ Thank you for keeping us inspired!
Hi Andrea,
Where do you get your white slip covers for your love seats?
Love your channel!!! Truly inspiring and encouraging to me. Thank you!!
Great video. It takes not long to pick up if we keep on top of everyday life. Love sharing creating a cozy feeling for my home. While cleaning I put Tim Janis music on his music is so soothing. Love your videos.
I’ll have to look him up. Thank you! 😊
You will find him on UA-cam and his music is instrumental,Christian, and the music videos are calming and relaxing. I listen to it in the background, while I spend time with the Lord and do my daily journaling of what I am grateful for. I never chat I just enjoy his music. Have a blessed day Sweet Andrea✝️🙏🏻
We must embrace these simple yet powerful tips and watch as everyday life transforms into something truly extraordinary. ✨✨
We love the sourdough chocolate chip cookie recipe too!
I almost always wear dish gloves and an apron to help with the monotony of doing dishes. It somehow makes it so much easier in my mind. Loved this video Andrea!
Cute idea! 😊
Oh to be blessed with a laundry room! I have been in my home for 51 years and the washer and dryer are in the garage ... next to the car! I would love to have a pretty space to decorate and do this mundane chore. The garage is hot in the summer and freezing in the winter, so you get in and out ASAP. I do love my coffee in a pretty or seasonal mug. I recently found Cold Foam in a can like whipped cream at my grocery store! Its like having a specialty coffee at home. You must have very well behaved boys. There are very few moms who homeschool with 4 boys at home who get to put their feet up with a cup of tea everyday. Good for you! And breakfast for dinner has been my families favorite since my son was little. He is now 51 and its still his favorite! And all my 3 grandsons too!
I am very blessed! And yes, breakfast is a favorite here 😊
I love watching your videos, Andrea. Thank you so much for sharing your heart and beautiful home with us.
Thank you! You’re so sweet! 😊
What a beautiful home you made for your family. Not many girls as beautiful as you enjoy making a home. God obviously made you special. Bless you.
I have your soap dispenser I got it at Target and have a crock with cute utensils on the side of my sink it looked so cute on the side of your sink I had to find things that looked similar for mine. Thank you for all the inspiration to keep a tidy pretty home! Your channel is a blessing!!
Where did you get the white bed spread from?
Wonderful, comforting, inspiring video. Thank you!!
Another lovely video. I wrote down your egg casserole recipe and will try make it soon for our family, along with the potatoes. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! I hope you enjoy it! 😊
you seem such a sweet gal. your home and family are beautiful and so are you. im getting the blumene to give it a try. my confidence level has been super low lately so thank you for sharing that.
WOW, what a beautiful video Andrea. It's folding laundry, setting a pretty dining table for me.
Thank you! 😊
I always enjoy your videos. They are so fresh and organic. Your face pro product just blended in nicely and was informative. I feel some gals just make a video to talk about a new sponsor they have. But your videos are full of very enjoyable content. Love your meals as well. God Bless.
So sorry to hear about Isaiah’s broken collarbone! Hope he feels better and heals quickly!
Very good suggestions, Andrea! I couldn’t agree more.
Thank you! 😊
Where did you buy your weaved roller shades in your living room?
I just love watching your videos Andrea. Thank you 😊
I bought the Blumene from one of your links a few months back - do you use the green light for wrinkle reduction? I've been using the red on my face and green one for my neck! I love your makeup as well, you look beautiful as always! God Bless you and your family.
What a lovely Family! Your boys are adorable. I know it's not easy, but you make it seem so.
As usual I can always count on some great recipes (amongst other things) from you.
I love your videos. Your home is beautiful with your special touches. Darling boys!
I have just found your videos and I'm enjoying them very much. You have such a calm demeanor which makes viewing a pleasure. See you in the next video.
Thank you! ☺️
Thankyou for sharing your moments with us. So uplifting. Was that cream you frothed up for yoyr tea?? How delish...Take care God Bless
Thank you for the video, it was thoroughly enjoyable and I'm always struck by the peace that simply oozes from the walls of your home. I have a question - when you were making your potatoes, you remarked about adding lots of salt. Is this just a personal family preference or another reason?
I love the children enjoying a hot bowl of oatmeal ..and love the way you incorporate the berries for fun color and taste 🫶🏼👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
