I love that quote, “I’m not raising my house, I’m raising our family”. ❤❤❤ I am a neat and clean person but my kids take after my husband and they’re all a hot mess. I’m alway saying out loud, “one day my kids will grow up, move away, and I will miss all this messy chaos”.
Yesss!! You’re so right!! It’s so hard to keep the right perspective sometimes, especially when we’re usually neat. Keep on pressin on Mama. (Sometimes I think God uses their messy to grow me into a better person)
The Lord does woderfil things in our lives. Have memories of my 4 children breaking things. God is showing us that material things are not important. Thanks so much for your videos!
About the candlestick- genius! I totally would have done that. I have, as a matter of fact! Kids are such a blessing. The time we have with them goes by so quickly. Before you know it they're grown and gone. One day you'll miss the chaos. Things can be fixed or replaced, but our children's childhood years will never return.
What you said couldn’t be more true!! My oldest is 7 and I feel like this Summer she matured and reached another level of independence. While I’m excited about it, I’m also sad to let go of my little girl. Trying to be as intentional as I can be. Thanks so much for watching! And for sharing! Have a great week!! 🤗🤗
OMG! You're making me TEAR up. Can't remember the last t time I got EMOTIOANAL after watching a homemaking video. Thank you SO very much for the sweet reminder "We are not raising a house, we're raising a family" And you know when things break, that's okay. They CAN still be useful AND beautiful, just like US. Even though WE are BROKEN God can STILL use us and we are STILL beautiful in his sight.
I hope they were good tears!! And you’re so right about when we are broken. Gods speciality is turning ashes into beauty and using our weakness fire his strength!! I love it! Thanks so much for watching! Have a great weekend!
I love the addition of your canned goods and the fact that you can admire the beauty of the fruits of your labor. Your girls were so precious going over and getting apples.❤️
Ohh thank you!! It’s odd, but I just find them so beautiful. And my girls are always snacking. It’s like a non stop thing over here haha Thanks so much for sharing. Your kind messages mean so much to me! 🤗
Thank you for your lovely video today, Aliya! I love the relaxing music and enjoy my cozy times with the baby while I watch. The canning is very special to add to the hutch! The more I work on decorating my home, the more I challenge myself to tell a story. Your canning tells a story, and the work of your hands is beautiful!
Thank you! I always look forward to hearing from you each week. And learning that you watched my video snuggling your sweet baby fills my heart with so much joy!! One of the greatest compliments!! Thank you for sharing that with me! And intentionally decorating to tell a story is one of the most meaningful ways to decorate our homes! I completely agree!! I hope you have a great week!! 🤗
So true, you touched on some important things in life that really matter. I as a grandmother have had side - end tables, etc. nicked and scratched up by my grandchildren playing. I love that look. They are just “things”, but when I look at the dents and scratches, I remember those times when my grandkids were young and we were all laughing and having fun. Memories and being with family are the most important in life, not “things”. (And yes, I also have nice things now too, since most are past that “rough housing” stage. ) 😊 Love, love, love your hutch!
Ohhh thank you!!! Its a new to me hutch and I’m loving it! That’s such a good perspective to remember. My struggle is I just don’t always see it right away. Trying to get better at that. I’m so glad you stopped by and visited with me today!! Have a great week! 🤗
Love this! I actually love the imperfections in my home. Each one, has a story, and yes when the accidents happened, it may have made me angry, but looking back, it all makes me smile. It shows my home was lived in. Thanks so much for sharing!!
I watched your video earlier this morning and didn’t have time to comment. I wanted to come back to say, canning is beautiful and what a shame to hide all that beauty in the basement. Just like a fresh baked loaf of bread on the counter. Your home is just lovely and reflects you and your family. You are very wise beyond your years and I enjoy this channel very much.
Thank you so much!! I’m so glad you took the extra time to come back and share that with me. Seriously!! Means so much! AndI think I’m gonna be decorating with canned goods forever now! Hahaha I’m so happy that you like to watch my videos!! Have a great weekend!! 🤗
Loved today’s visit thank you. “We live with glass…it gets broke” made me laugh. Love canned goods as decor. So many tidbits today. May we all enjoy our own imperfect messy beautiful lives ❤
I loved everything about your video! You are spot on with things are not always “perfect” and they do not need to be. ☺️ The whole package is just as it should be with the beautiful, the broken, the modified to make it work. I look forward to each of your videos. Thank you for taking the time to make them and share your thoughts, your home and your family. 😊
Awe!! Yes! It is an art!! I LOVE that you said that!! I’m gonna keep that little nugget forever!! 🤗🤗 thanks so much for watching! Have a great weekend!!
Everything looks lovely. May God bless you and your family and may you all enjoy the autumn season Sending hugs and best wishes from the south coast of England
