RENOVATING A RUIN: Pregnant & Building a Farmhouse Kitchen in Italy, Gluten-free Chocolate Cake Ep29
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 лис 2024
- This week it is still humid in Italy and I'm still heavily pregnant but I have some updates on the pool and kitchen renovations to share with you. We go picking wild blackberries at sunset in Tuscany and I bake a flourless gluten-free chocolate cake for my parents' arrival in Italy.

the curtain is going to annoy you
Would love to make that cake when the weather cools off. It’s been high 90’s and over 100 degrees here in Southern California and will be all of September.
Me.

Who smiles every time Kylie post a video?! 🙋🏽♀️. She is such an inspiration ❤️🌻
fist pumped the air, ran and made a big bowl of matcha then sat down and AAHHHHHH!
@@bbbrunella yesss 🙌🏽🤍
@@bbbrunella hahaha…. Thanks for that visual 😂
Me. Most definitely.
My favorite thing to watch on a Sunday!!
This nursery has been made with love and soon filled with a much loved baby - you will be the most loving and caring parents - how special 🙏💕
You can always add another oven and stove top if you find you need to cook on different temperatures. I use to sell real estate and there were many kitchens with large families who had multiple ovens and ranges. They were Italian families! They love to cook. I also have a friend who is Italian and we are always talking about cooking. I use to never cook but since started watching your channel which I love, I am now cooking fresh meals for myself. Mostly Italian and French (I also watch Chateau Diaries) in which they do a lot of French cooking. I am 76 so you have me eating healthy! When I was younger I was in sales and sold multimillion deals so I eat at the best restaurants who served the freshest and best ingredients. I was spoiled but since watching your channel I am taking better care of myself. You are such an inspiration. Glad your family is there for you. Your Mom and Dad are amazing people. You are so fortunate to have been raised the way you were! Because of that you bring us all joy so thank your Mother and Father for me for raising such a lovely daughter!
So glad your parents are coming.
Of course they can't miss the Birth of Grand Baby 🍼
You look beautiful Kylie 😍
A Rose 🌹 in full bloom!
God be with you And Family 🙏🙏
Another beautiful snapshot of your life in Italy. :) Please allow Patrons to continue to contribute even during your maternity leave. I don't contribute because I expect you to produce a video every Friday, I contribute because I believe in you and want to support you and the life you are building. Although small, it is how I show my appreciation for the beauty and goodness you create. I'm sure there are many others that feel this way, as well. 😊
It's really not so much a brain fog from exhaustion, it's an all consuming new love that takes over every fiber of your being. Unlike any love you have ever felt, this will shake you to your core as a new Mother.
This episode was really special, Kylie. God bless and keep you and your precious family.
Couldn’t describe it more perfectly. The love never goes away for our children as they grow up. That first time your baby is placed in your arms is a moment you never forget.
It's natural instinct to nest at the end of your pregnancy. You may even get a burst of energy before the baby comes. Mostly rest and take care of yourself. No stress about a video each week. We all will be here when you post. This is the biggest event a woman can experience. Congratulations and all the best to you and your growing family. Take care.
I like the rounded edge. So happy for you that Guildo and your parents are so great together. It so makes it so nice for you and everyone else. Love your videos. Such wonderful detail .
I love the kitchen shelving! You could always leave the shelving open and live with it for a few months before deciding on curtains. If the cans and jars don’t bother you, then you don’t have to expend the extra energy making curtains:) Someone else mentioned using baskets. That could be a nice option to keep baking ingredients together so you can just pull down a basket full of all the items you need when baking. Whatever you decide will be perfect! Do what works best for you!!
BTW, you are glowing!!
Yes, leave the shelves open for now.... Everything in plain view, prettier things at eye level and above. Great recycling.
Imagine seeing the entire world through Kylie's eyes, not just these beautiful pieces of cinema she shares with us but the whole world. How breathtaking it must be.😍
Kylie, the scenery you capture is so beautiful. You look amazing, positively blossoming. I’m so happy you have your parents with you now for this special time. Your choice for edging the pool is perfection and those shelves I wouldn’t hide. Take all the time you need when the baby arrives, enjoy every day with your family. Love and best wishes ❤️❤️
Aaaaahhhh, Kylie. You are an artist in everything you do. Shelves are perfect, just perfect. So happy for your parents being there with you and Guido. May God bless you and your entire family as you do bless us every week. Take all the pauses you need to enjoy everything. Love, m
Love the shelves in the kitchen. No curtains . Nothing better than having your mom close when having a baby 🥰
You're literally the only UA-camr whose video I don't skip scenes. Not one second of your content is boring. Love it so much! 💜💜💜
😘😘😘😘
So happy for you Kylie, you are so lovely. The placenta has migrated this is wonderful news! Take care of yourself and fagiolino. Your mum is there and everything will be fine!
No curtains- they gather dust
Your shelves idea is perfect and knowing you you’ll keep it all in good order and pretty and with a child- they like to play and hide and find out what’s behind… there’s a saying in Italian- “let it look like it’s being lived in”- loose translation
Congratulations on everything you do! Auguri!
However, a multitude of objects uncovered gather even more dust that is harder to clean than throwing a curtain in the wash. I don’t have an alternative for the curtains however. She does have another curtain underneath the sink, and would make a cohesive look. One can always draw the curtains completely away when you need to view what you’ve got. 😉
I agree but not because of dust. It's more convenient to glance at the shelves from across the room instead of having to go there and pulling the curtains to see where something is. No curtains for me.
Kylie, I’m so glad your parents arrived to be with you guys. I’m sure they are a comfort to you. My mom arrived 20 minutes before baby came, from a 12 hour drive, and I got a burst of energy. Your parents are awesome, they are such hard workers! 🌸💙
A tip I heard recently, is to get babys used to noice. When a baby is born, we all seem to want to be quiet all the time "because of the baby", but I saw a few videos recently of people raising their babys making noise like normal, so their babys didn't wake up just from everyday life sounds. I found it extraordinary
That’s very true!
It's also great to read and sing to the baby while pregnant.
So true ! Quiet vs normal noises: Even though I Knew this I still made this mistake… not so much with my first, surprisingly more with my second son lol … and Yes to singing (even w/my terrible voice) and music and reading aloud 👍❤️ Fan From Florida 🌴
It's quite noisy in utero actually, so the baby is already used to noise.
Yes! I am a light sleeper and this is why. I wake up so easily many times each night even with earplugs.
Your parents must be so excited, you look radiant. Love the kitchen
I would 1) transfer as much as I could to decorative clear containers 2) hide the messy stuff in baskets with cute labels attached. These baskets could also be dispersed among all the shelves to add to the decorative look. You, of all people, will make it look beautiful!
Good ideas ! I agree with Gail
What a happy Saturday morning surprise, your parents are like mine were...so much love...cake looks like a work of art as always, inspiring...
Another stunning story as usual. Sometimes I tear up at the romance, beauty, or the abundance that I see filling your life. Thank you for sharing it with us. And don't forget that your body and mind will be healing after the baby. It's a healing phase. Let people HELP you. Say yes to it all and don't forget to ask for help. xoxo
Just think of it as a 'interlude' instead of a distraction when your firstborn adjusts to life outside the quiet safe place of your womb. I personally believe many young women who are new Mother's to be are sometimes overwhelmed with the amount of advice and information available and offered for newborn care. You are built with the intuitive gift as a Mother. Think of it as a lovely rhythm. Those positive thoughts will make a powerful difference through the adjustment segment. Love radiates. Tenderness is a tangible power. Deep breath and peaceful, beautiful music helps sustain the atmosphere in the home and the heart. You will do wonderful Kylie and Guito will be a loving Father. You are so very blessed. This is my little bit of advice from my own experience, and I wish you joy and peace.💕🍼👶
Compromise for the olive press motor. Your Father could make you a backless cabinet to sit over the motor and provide another work top. Blessings. Celia
Oh my goodness. Your videos make me cry. But in the most wonderful cleansing way! You beautiful, beautiful pregnant woman. You make me want to be pregnant again. Unfortuneately, I am done with that part of my life. You are so, so blessed to have such wonderful parents. They are amazing! I love the natural shelves. It looks like they shave always have been there. Don't let anyone tell you to remove the olive press. You will have the most unique kitchen and it is a great conversation peice. I'm glad you and baby are well. The way you mix the music with the film is so beautiful. With love and admiration, ciao bella. 🥰
♥️♥️♥️♥️
I glad to see you love Mutti tinned tomatoes, simply all tomatoes and not packed with water, like some of the tinned tomatoes you can get. Happy remaining pregnancy, joyful and peaceful birth of your son
That’s how they protect the different guilds and keep people employed and encourage craftsmanship- what we all love around the world- enjoy September
We have a pool pump in our laundry room. I've arranged a table around it so I have a surface to fold on. We can still easily access the pump. I vote for no curtain in the kitchen. The space is small and you can access stuff easier. You might have to consider what goes on those shelves for a while. Small hands and are they not just the right hight to climb up at for a tiny person? When my kids were tiny I just made my lower drawers kid friendly, tuperware, cereals they enjoyed eating...their were treasures tucked about. We spent many happy hours cooking together. Yes on occasion my daughter poured out the cereal and rolled in it. Just call it tecturalization. When they were done I swept it up. The good time had was totally worth the clean up.
I love that you have your Mom and Dad there for the arrival of the baby !
Sending you all the love in the world ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Enjoy every moment
The magic and miracle of life unfolding and thank you so much for sharing ❤️
The shelfs are Great.
Are These brackets ENOUGH Support ??
How Nice to see the changes with Mom and Dad's help.
Guido is a super Smart man to accept parents opinion and help.
A wonderful Family 💞
I think a middle bracket is needed...at least later on when the shelves will be more congested with things. Love, Bonnie and David
So excited for you!!! What a beautiful life you live🙌
I am so happy for your beautiful pregnancy journey! All the luck in the world to you! 🍀 I hope everything goes well. And thank you, you made me smile so much with the video
What a wonderful video. Your home is so magnificent. You have inspired me to live a more Italian lifestyle. And I do. I am Italian, Irish, and Dutch, and my boyfriend is Italian, French-Canadian, and Swedish. We are European. Thank you Kylie. You have beautiful taste and style. Enjoy your parents. I’m so excited for your baby. Blessings to you and your family💚♥️💚
Please take the time you need to enjoy your baby son. It is a precious time - golden years. You have given many other "movies" worth watching again. I love the beauty of your films and they truly fill one with joy. Thank you.
Be careful with the travertine poolside - it can be very slippery when it is wet - we have similar stone and should have had the stone dressed a little more rough. Try the sample with water on it.
Love your projects and you are glowing with your pregnancy ❤️
Welcome back!!! So delighted to see your parents!!!
Your so blessed to have them with you , to welcome thier grandchild!!
Ohmygosh!!! It makes me miss my parents!!!!!
Open shelves looks good !
With regards to the finishing of the pool, I think what you have to also bear in mind, that children being children, don’t always use the steps to get out of the pool! If they were to be using the side of the pool, the sharper sided stone could cause a nasty cut ( i have seen this before with pools finished off like that) a rounded edge is much safer. I’m only saying, of course it’s your choice.
You are so precious! Your happiness is just contagious, so thank you for that. I look forward to your next video. Hugs!
You can leave the front of the shelves open, in time if you see that you want to make changes then you can.
Anytime you are unsure of something, take one step and wait to see what needs to come next. 🍀
Enjoy your time with your parents. Thanks for sharing your time with us.
I totally agree about the open shelving in the kitchen! The shelves are gorgeous! I don’t think the curtain is necessary! Your parents are amazing. I am so glad they are there for this special time.
I can't help to think that that child of you both will be spoil as all can be, as well as us that watch your channel. Outstanding job young lady .thanks for letting us watch it unfold.
Another beautiful video, Kylie! 💕 You are just glowing and so beautiful. I love seeing your kitchen come together and how wonderful it is to have your parents back and helping you again! That villa is a labor of love 💕 - so much heart and good sweat has gone into making it your home. It’ll be such a special and unique place to raise your baby! And please take all the time you need and want to recover from labor and love on your new baby. You will probably recover quickly because you’re so healthy but you may just want to keep those special moments private. Though I can only imagine how beautiful and cinematic you will make those videos of your new baby and the love you and Guido will show him!
I’ve been praying 🙏 that everything will be ready before the precious little sunshine ☀️ gets here !Enjoy this time getting ready sending Love and abundant blessings to your entire family I am so happy for you all !
I am so addicted to this series of yours! Love your style
You have carried your pregnancy so beautifully Kylie. All the best for those last few weeks. I had my daughter in late Summer and it was so hard in the heat so I can sympathise. All the best for the birth. 🌺💞
You make me so happy every week with your beautiful videos.
They take me into Italy with those wonderfull views.
Thank you Kylie and take care.
You are soooooo real and that's why we love you and Guido! 💞
Allways you are a picture of health so happy your mum and dad are with you both they are a great help for you both
Thank you so much for continuing your videos with all you and Guido have on your plates. Thank you for letting us into your lives.Your home( not house) is so inviting through all the rubble. I hope all goes well for you during the birth. I am positive you and Guido are going to be the most loving parents and are excited for the birth to happen. Sending you all the Abruzzi vibes to you all. You look so healthy and your skin is glowing. Guido is looking wonderful as well. Thank you for your recipe. I think that cake is in my future. LOVE
What a beautiful glow you have with this precious baby you’re carrying.
My father was like yours in that he was so talented and could fix anything even a rainy day!
You’re so blessed to have such amazingly helpful and loving parents! I was blessed with this type of family.
Mother was a nurse and could cook such wonderful food. My parent’s always had a garden and preserved food from the fresh produce they grew. So healthy! The shelving your parent’s put up looks amazing and I love it whole idea! I wouldn’t put up a curtain as I love to see everything at all time’s. It will be so organized and be so helpful seeing everything so neat and handy.👍🤗🤗❤️😊
Blessings to you and your soon to be little family and your lovely parent’s and sister.
The cake looks amazing! I’ve made a cake similar to your except lemon with ground almond flour.
Delicious! Blackberries would taste wonderful with the lemon as well.
Sending best wishes to you and your handsome husband with the soon arrival of you precious child.
Good morning, you look beautiful. So happy that you & baby are doing well. Just take it easy and enjoy your parents.
Thank you so much. ♥️♥️♥️
Always a joy to watch your videos. For the shelves, I personally, as a person in a kitchen all the time cooking, practicality and efficiency is a priority. Aesthetically the shelves are beautiful, and having your food content neatly displayed is not unattractive and definitely easier to reach out for, than searching behind a curtain. Very excited for the work to start and getting as much done before your much loved baby arrives. Also, so very happy that your parents are there to help you along the way and bond with their grandchild. 🥰 Many wonderful days ahead coming!☺🤍
I think you can use the shelves open at the bottom and just put all the canned goods neatly and jars for beans, flour, sugar,cornmeal,etc. Your kitchen should be one that shows off who you are…and you love to cook. The only thing to think about is when your sweet baby boy starts walking you don’t want him to grab things off the lower shelves that are breakable. Baby proofing your home will be challenging to say the least!
Hi Kylie and Guido. Yay for the new oven.❣️ It IS a thrill to add appliances that make everyday life that bit easier. Welcome back mum and dad 👋 The four of you together make a super cosy and amicable unit. Love the open shelving too 🕊💕
Love the idea of a curtain along the bottom shelf to hide cans etc. It would tie in beautifully with your little curtain under the sink. It's looking fabulous, you are doing such a good job. Reno's are hard, let alone whilst pregnant and in 40 degree heat!
Love your parents! They get things done!!
You're so beautiful and you are so talented in how you edit and portray your life....you have such a respect and appreciation for what and whom you 💕💗💗❤️🥰
No curtain ! 😉...
How well this child will eat ! He can already looking forward to eating such delicious meals made with so much love 😃💗
You are very blessed Kylie. Never forget to thanks the Lord. Everything is grace.
Lots of love 💗🇨🇭
I love the videos showing us a life we don’t have I. Our country of origin or where we are now.
Your life is beautiful and we admire you, Guido, the parents and friends who share it.
Your baby will be so blessed with all the love surrounding him/ her. ❤️
God bless you and your family. I look forward to your posts. You asked about whether or not to put a curtain on the bottom shelf to hide what is on the floor. I would suggest using large baskets for storage of these items. you could pick them up to move them when cleaning the floor and when stocking your items or selecting your items to use them. Or your dad could build custom-size wood boxes with lids in the same stain color. Your toddler will be exploring under the shelves when you are cooking....
You are definitely glowing Kylie 🤰& so glad your parents are there to help. My parents are exactly the same when they come see me, always helpful and doing things for me around the house 😊
Enjoy the precious time with your baby, those magical moments that matter 🙏🏽🥰
I can hear your breathlessness. I well remember how high those pregnant bellies get, hampering ones lung capacity. Bless you Momma!!
How lovely to have your mom and dad to visit you at this stage of your pregnancy, also I’m sure the help is so welcome. I remember 35 years ago how helpful my parents were while I was expecting my first child. Also, Everything looks so wonderful and I’m sure you can’t wait for your pool to be ready!,
Bravisimo bella!! You are not only a beautiful person,but you are so creative and hard working, nice shelves looks very good on your rustic kitchen. Love to know your parents are there to help and be for the arrival of grandbaby . Do they have any other one? Please try to rest....You're going to need it!!
So glad your parents are back to help you. Enjoy your time together :)
Kylie you are so inspiring ❤️Your parents are so helpful and supportive. Such a beautiful family! I always look forward to your videos and I thank you for sharing.
You both are radiant as ever. So happy your parents have safely arrived and that everyone is doing well!
Always so refreshing, always a blessing to our weary souls…❤️🙏🏻❤️ I, for one don’t need you to pause the patreon donation…..you’re worth every penny! Happy Baby, and very much love.
The shallow shelves in the kitchen are great! A good use of that space. I agree wholeheartedly that deep shelves and deep cupboards are more work and items get hidden in the back. Also, Kylie last video you asked what items to purchase for baby. This is my items I like to give new mothers: a men's soft shaving brush to use to wash baby's arm pits, neck or any tight places like little fists. Calendula cream is amazing diaper rash cream. Midwives made it for me and nothing compared to it. Soft small baby wash cloths I include as I used some for small faces and some I set aside to use instead of baby wipes. Baby wipes tend to be cold and change time can be a challenge so using a warm little wash cloth is soothing. Hope that helps. Blessings from Alberta, Canada.
Wow, thank you for this very useful list! Much appreciated.
I vote for no curtain on the pantry. The flourless Italian cake looks fabulous and since I'm on gluten-free foods, I know this will be delish. Thanks so much, Kylie!
Oh Kylie…. Another magnificent episode. You are looking radiant and calm, in spite of that intense heat. Thrilled that your parents have arrived to support and care for you. It’s such a joy to see how valued and loved they are by Guido, too! Love the open shelves, and thanks for the torta recipe. Looks delish! Love to you all from cold Sydney. ❤️
Also I am very happy your parents are there to help and welcome the baby! Very excited for the whole family. Everyone must be so excited to welcome this sweet baby
I love your positive attitude in dealing with the heat and challenges. You inspire me to be more cheerful in spite of moments of frustration!
You have created a beautiful atmosphere & though details are important it's so fine to just trust instinct
Your parents are so wonderful
Enjoy your time before baby arrives with your parents. I wish you all the best in the coming days, weeks and months.
Love that cake, one of my favorites!
You look so good being pregnant and so full of energy. I am always looking forward to see what you are up to. May God keep protecting you and the baby. Last I think is awesome your parents are near you to enjoy the special coming event of the new born baby. Bye now
What a blessing to have such supportive and gifted parents. No need for a curtain - food is so inspirational when you can see it and create ideas as what's for dinner 😊
So glad your parents are with you. Hope you all have a good time together. The shelves look good 👍
What beautiful progress… it was such a shame to hear that the lavender died, but we appreciated it each morning when the bees were enjoying it.
So happy to see your parents. What beautiful shelves! Maybe a lace curtain would cover just enough and also allow you to see through to the beautiful mason jars. I like the idea of seeing the beautiful Italian packaging of the pomodoro, ceci cans and sardine tons etc.
Oh there you are!!!! I was looking for this, I believe you have your own following here, too!! Your visit with your partner was simply contagious laughter and I’m sure just the love Kylie & Guido needed during the sweltering weather to boost them through to her folks visit n stay. Have a great day, Uncle Brian ❤️ Fan From Florida 🌴
I agree about your idea about shelving in the kitchen. Anything more than 2 items in never is seen and easily forgotten. It reminded me to check my cupboards and purge! I have a more open kitchen concept and love it. Makes it so easy to grab what I need and not fuss with items tucked inside a cupboard or drawer. Enjoy your beautiful home!
Kaylie you are glowing! Wish you the very best on your delivery.
Wishing you and Guido all the very best as you await the arrival of your baby! We are beyond excited for you! Please be sure to take as much time as you want and need just being together as a family. What a special moment in your life and we thank you for sharing with all of us. ❤️
God is great! Nothing is impossible for him🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️
Kylie, another beautiful vlog! So happy your parents have arrived before baby comes 🍼 I love the look of fabric on the shelves. When you have used fabric in the past it has looked so rustic and beautiful. I also wanted to say I will HAPPILY pay you each month while you are concentrating on being a new Mum. I don't care if you can't put content out for a few months. I want to support you! It can be your maternity pay 🙂 you have given us so much 💕
As I’m not able to be a patron - I support Kylie’s beautiful art in other tiny ways- I am so glad for your comment. Over the past couple of years watching her videos, I believe Kylie’s built a unique caring community who truly would agree with you… the quality of her films and the intention behind each detail is so admirable. We wish the very best for her and Guido and lil man without the worry of ‘producing’ … I pray she focuses on this precious time of family… we will wait👍❤️ Fan from Florida 🌴
You look wonderful Kylie and so nice your parents are back. I am sure they will be a huge help. Exciting all that is happening.😊
I love all your videos! I always look forward to when you release a new one. I am a Mom of 3 now adult sons. One tip that I found helpful, when breastfeeding, make sure you have a big water or other healthy beverage next to you and make sure you have an Eskie filled with finger foods. Breast feeding makes you very hungry and thirsty. It also means you will only have one hand free to eat. So make sure they are foods you can eat with one hand.
Kylie, it's a beautiful lovely video. Thank you for sharing moments with your family. I wish you all the best to you and your family. I send you my love and hope everything will be fine. Enjoy you all!!!🤗🤗🥰💗
Love seeing your parents. Do not hide anything. As a mommy of young you will need easy views!
So glad you are feeling good and your health has improved for delivery of your baby. What a relief I’m sure. That chocolate cake looked delicious. Love blackberries but I think raspberries would also be amazing. If you put curtains on the shelves, it should either match or complement the curtain under the sink. Or maybe some lace curtains that sort let you see through them. If your pantry will be neat, then leave it open. Curtains would only be needed if it was gonna be messy or disorganized. You don’t strike me as disorganized. Either way, I’m sure it will look amazing as you have great taste and style. So happy your parents are back. Enjoy your time with them. Until next week, take care 😍😘
so glad your parents arrived and are there to help you and Guido! May I suggest instead of curtains on the bottom of the shelves in kitchen, use wicker baskets? Perhaps label them? Just a thought...have a great weekend!
So glad that your parents have returned! They are lovely and oh, so very helpful! I love the kitchen shelves. You can always try displaying your goods and if it feels like they would be better hidden, just add a curtain after the fact. I am so excited for you and Guido with the near arrival of the baby!!! God bless!
Thank you Kylie for this beautiful video. So happy your parents have arrived. Blessings to all of you!!!
Gorgeous! Simply gorgeous! You inspire me so much. So happy you and the baby are doing great. Soon the baby will be here and the grandparents can spoil you and the baby!
I just rewatched the beginning as it is a wonderful visual treat, combined with beautiful music. You are a cinematic artist.
So so much happening all at the same time...good to see another video on the progress of farmhouse projects andddd to see Mom and Dad made it there safely!! I for one love the concept of the open shelving (no curtain) because it forces one to keep things tidier and makes it so easily accessible ...I think the shelves add charm to the area with the olive press and I agree with you on shelves instead of a dresser..space would be too tight for sure with a dresser ....I love your blue top it looks so nice on your olive color skin....wishing you the best in your last trimester!! I pray it keeps going smoothly for you as it seems to be now!! Enjoy your time with family Kylie...you deserve it, plus more!! 🙂
Oh wow.. the shelves look fantastic!! Your parents are such an amazing help!! That torte!! Beautiful!!
All of your videos are so beautiful and today's opening was exceptional with the intense colors and sounds! So happy your parents are there to help you and Guido deal with everything. Your bambino will be the piccolo principe del castello, but remember that YOU are la regina so please let everyone wait on you as much as possible! 🥰 💖🤗
Yes ! There’s nothing like having your mom’s help during this special time. My mom came for a few weeks when each of my sons arrived. She quietly moved in the background cooking shopping laundry etc: supporting me so my focus could be on baby. She did this also w/ my sisters. It was magical, and I remember how I cried the day she left,lol! 👍❤️🌴 ps, she turns 95 on Halloween, so blessed to have these long-ago memories to share w/her
So happy to see you and your family happy and healthy. I think you should try to go curtainless on the shelving for a week or two. Live with it and see if the visibility of pantry items bothers you. If it doesn't, than great. And if it does, you can always make one later.
