Thanks so much for having me on the Podcast! It was an absolute delight!
Any day I get to talk to you is a good day!
I think this was my favorite episode so far.
Buffy is my absolute favorite show ever!
Love both of you 💗, thank you. Christine, I cry listening your experience at the Dr office "Did I love enough" I hear this podcast while I was pushing a stroller and walking a 🐕, enter in the apartment with my baby sleeping on arms and just look at the sofa full of clean laundry, put the baby down and he just woke up. And at that moment I hear "It's not will always be like that" THANK YOU!!! OMG I love my boys, my life...some people said better time will come...but what if I'm living the good times just now?!
"It won't always be like this." That really hit me. Our older daughter is 23 and about to graduate college (she is living with us through college). Our younger daughter is 20 and in her first year of college (also living with us through college; she graduated high school last year when she was 19 because she has special needs). I dread them ever leaving home, though I know it will happen. I try to look at them and listen to them extra hard. Our boys are 17 and 7. I hate being past the season of having very small children. I get super depressed about being done having babies. I'm trying to cherish these moments and stages. I turned 40 a few weeks ago. It actually made me feel awesome instead of old. But I still grieve for the having young kids stage.
Christine, you made me cry. I love you. Your channel is the very first I watched on UA-cam. Someone in a FB budgeting group suggested your channel and eventually I watched it. The first I watched was of you making breakfast sandwiches homemade and comparing the prices to the frozen breakfast sandwiches. I have watched you since. I'm so glad you're okay. Sending you all the hugs and all the prayers.
I really like the video so I can watch while walking on the treadmill
I started listening to this at work (just shredding paper) and had to pause because y'all are making me cry! Such a wonderful, heartfelt conversation that I totally feel encouraged by. Thank you!
Have I loved enough? I’d also have to say “no.” 😭 Need to make some changes! Thanks for this podcast, ladies! 2 of my favourite UA-camrs. 💛
*lived enough
I can absolutely see that Marybeth has a great sense of humor when I watch her videos, even though I know she's reigning it in! This was a great podcast. Thank you!
Thank you for being so vulnerable in this podcast, Christine! Big hug
I hear the tick tick too. I remember when my girls were 4,2,1. Now my oldest is 19 doing college from home in her first year , planning to go off for the last two years. This lines up with my second daughter graduating and no way she will stay home😅. So, two at once plus the third only one year behind. Bing! Bang! Boom! Just like they came into the world. I’ve been doing more faith strengthening, learning, etc to prepare.
I too always hated putting away the laundry! And then I had an observation. The stuff that I had just washed was what I wore that week. But yet my drawers and closet were still so full it made it difficult to put the clean stuff back in. I decided to take half of what was not yet worn out And put it inside. If I needed it I would grab it and put it back in my rotation. After 6 weeks I realized I didn't need it. And donated it. Putting away the laundry is much easier now!
I see so many people be so dramatic about laundry and I can not understand how it's a hard task. I work full time and have no issues getting it done. Usually I wash a load when I wake up, then throw it in the dryer on my way out the door. Get home and unload it. Done!
I am so grateful for this introduction to Marybeth and her channel- excited to look her up 😊
Such a great conversation but I wish you could have talked longer about your health scare and if you are making changes going forward in how you live. My daughter also is on her way to leaving for college and I teared up when you mentioned your daughter. Completely feel the same. So excited for her and her future but love her so much that I can't imagine her not being here all the time.
I have a great relationship with my now 27 year old daughter. She only lives 30 mins away, but I still don’t see her that much because she’s busy living her life. I miss the day-to-day interaction of her living at home. I guess I just miss her, period, and cherish our times together all the more!
Excellent interview! Thanks so much!
Suggestion for Mary Beth in the True Crime genre... Stephanie Harlowe and Crime Weekly...
Christine I just LOVE YOUR POD! Your topics are always interesting and I also love when Dave is on. Y’all are a great couple. This is a fantastic interview. I’ve been subbed to Mary Beth for years and didn’t even know the adoption story, ❤❤ just got to the lesion on your hip. I hope you are going to be ok girl!!!! I had a scare like that once. The radiologist made it sound like I had ovarian cancer and I was 30. Ugh. Drs sometimes just don’t say the right thing.
Hi Christine. The podcast reminded me of a song I love : In the time that you gave me by Bradley Walker and Joey Feek … it’s on UA-cam. Hope you listen to it.
Great video
My last meal would be my homemade lasagna with a huge piece of garlic french bread and my grandma's homemade cherry cheesecake. Mmmmm.
Love your podcast and UA-cam channel!
I absolutely LOVED this episode!!!!
Ms. Christine, No BUT ... Do It from this Point Forward! Write down the Words for Each Loved One & Move on Lovingly Sending Positive 🪄Energy n White Light 😇to You n Your Family (Day2 of Being a Sub🤗) After 2 Hip Replacements Gives Lot of Time to Appreciate Life❤ Chris from Chicago ❤
My absolute hatred of ironing has led me to always hang and fold my clothes right away because I don’t like wrinkled clothes. 😊
❤❤❤
Loved this
My oldest starts college nearby this fall. He wants to get an apartment with friends. I want him to stay home and save his money.
I read for local library book club Christian Ficton book Home to Holly Springs. Very Well written story, would recommend.
I wonder what challenges MaryBeth has encountered adopting foster kids, if any?
Ohhhh, so many. I have some really strong, courageous, resilient kids. 😊
faith-based decluttering??? why must you bring religion everywhere?? its sick
I love u Christine, but no offense, not into this guest.
