In the Costco shop with me, I talked about how I am not a fan of Glide floss but I didn't let you all know what kind of floss I like. Reach amzn.to/3TbD0wt and Cocofloss amzn.to/3UwOdsI are my favorites! I am also a big fan of floss picks amzn.to/3hn6f2k! Thanks for being so interested in oral hygiene!
Thank you putting the floss you like.
With electric toothbrushes coming up on sale do you have one you'd recommend over another Becky?

Thank you ❤️
I listen to homemaker chic podcast they use American blossom linens for sheets. They are expensive but 100% cotton and American made. I haven’t brought none yet but I want to try them
FYI: PYREX is not the same as pyrex.
Products with the name 'pyrex' (all lowercase) are made by a company called World Kitchen and are made out of clear tempered high-thermal-expansion soda-lime glass, which has a lower thermal shock resistance, making them susceptible to explosions in the microwave or oven. You can identify them by the lower case logo.
Products with the name PYREX (all uppercase) are made of clear, low-thermal-expansion borosilicate glass and are not susceptible to explosions in the microwave or oven. They can be identified by the logo which is in all upper case letters.
Wow, thank you, I did not know that. I know I have really heavy PYREX and some lighter weight, sure enough the lighter weight are lower case Pyrex.
Mind blown!
The company was sold off and yes, the glass is different. You can tell the difference by the logo and there is a blue tint to the newer glass formula.
I use my vintage Pyrex from my Mom and Mother in law all the time. You can usually find vintage Pyrex at thrift stores like Goodwill. They can go directly from the refrigerator to the oven with no worries.
Thanks for the tip!!!
Girl!! Get that coat!! You'll have sweet baby in December, so you'll need it after!!! Love your videos!! Thank you for taking your friends along!!!!
Years ago, the first nice dinner I cooked for my husband when we were dating I made chicken croquettes. I got the recipe out of a Southern Living Holiday recipes cookbook. The chicken breasts were flattened and stuffed with an herbed cheese before finally being wrapped in puff pastry and baked. I used the Boursin herbed cheese. He proposed six months later.
Great story! ❤
I also use it in mashed potatoes, delicious!
Hobby Lobby has a TON of stuff for Thanksgiving. 👍🏻 That coat looked super cute on you.
We just got a membership and I’ve been so nervous to go inside. You made me feel so confident and no longer overwhelmed. We had such a great experience! ❤
I totally understand that. Everything is so big. I felt the same way the 1st time I went into one.
Our Costco is a little over an hour away so it takes some planning. I have found that ours is always busy and it can be very overwhelming for me. I have to mentally prepare to go, but I am always happy when I see my kitchen well stocked.
Becky! I love how you are totally talking to us via camera while at Costco without care in the world. I wouldn’t have the courage. Lol! 😊
I know, she has become a pro at this!
I love flannel sheets, one of the best parts of winter for me!
My very artistic and creative father and I were going to make a Gingerbread house one year, but we lost him before the season came. I never tried myself, maybe this is the year we do that! ❤
When I make Brussel sprouts for my holiday meals is mixing Brussel sprouts, cauliflower, carrots & pearl onions, which are steamed. Add some butter or margarine which melts. Then cook some bacon. Cut up into small pieces, then add to the top of the vegetables.
those kitchen organisation units, are the best to have with a newborn. you can organise it so that you have everything you need on it and then you can move it around the house and have it neer the baby. like you can have dipers and wipes on there and everything else you going to need.
Becky I would suggest going to thrift stores for many of the items you’re looking for as far as home decor and kitchen stuff! You never know what you’ll find!
What a treat to be gifted a Cutco knife! Cutco is a fantastic product!
The metal rolling cart, is a must for a baby. It lets you stock all the baby wipes, diapers, sleepers, burp cloths and new born essentials and you can move it around the house with you where ever you go! 100% recommend, then when you don’t need it anymore, it makes a great kids craft cart
@38:00 mushrooms freeze so well for pastas etc. u can also dehydrate or freeze dry the extras for a great flavor crushed into any dish
I love how we get to see the whole process of your big cooking days, from buying/harvesting ingredients to actual cooking process!
I love both real and fake evergreen trees for Christmas, all sizes. I SO ENJOY your shopping hauls, especially Costco. You make them so much fun. 😊 Just curious, have you considered Dollar (and up) Tree for holiday decor? I haven’t been disappointed yet in the variety they offer and at better prices than Target a lot of times. You’re awesome Becky! 👍🏾
I am one of those ppl who christmas throws up on theirhouse and in addition to a family of snow men and a flock of penguins I also have a herd of like 15 reindeer. For storage I have a room in our garage basically the size of a one car bay that is over full with my display, packed tight and stuff hanging on the walls up to the ceiling. Storage is Def a challenge but it's SOOOOO PRETTY!!!
Hi Beckie, a hint to havey our candles longer. Put them in the fridge for as long as possible. The colder the wax, the longer it will burn. Thank you for sharing your life with us. All the best for the safe arrival of your baby. 🙏❤
So love your shopping trip at Costco's and Target and I wanted to let you know that I like how you click your purse into the seatbelt for the child seat. I do that all the time I've told so many women do that cuz then they can't take your purse because it is. It made me feel so good to see somebody else thought of that
I have a set of the battery candles. I put them under the small Christmas tree in our master bedroom. They’re great because they’re on a timer and turn off automatically and no risk of burning down our tree.
If you have a World Market near you, that’s the place to go for cloth napkins. They have them in a variety of colors.
Thanks, Becky! I enjoyed this so much! Well, I enjoy all of your videos anyway lol This one made me feel like I was out shopping with my sister. Lots of fun.
The Boursin cheese 🤤 I have to be careful because I can put back one or two in a sitting 😂 I just put balsamic glaze on the herb one and dig in with crackers!!! AMAZINGLY
I make sourdough naan a few times a month! So easy and so good. So neat seeing all the deals in Costco. A lot of our stores are out or very low on eggs. We are very thanks for our chickens!
My cousin nearly burned her house down when a random gust flicked the curtain into one of her candles. She only uses the LEDs now! So I’ll give the standard warning…NEVER leave a burning candle unattended! Tapes can fall over or large candles can burn down while you’re distracted.
Becky, when I was in my last 6 weeks of pregnancy I was constantly burning up. My dad kinda freaked out because I walked into a mall while it was snowing with no coat at all because it felt sooo good. Not being able to zip the coat may be a feature, not a bug.
I agree, I had a December baby. I got a winter coat that fit most of the winter and just didn't zip the last few weeks. I did keep a lap blanket in the car, just incase.
Walked home in the ice and snow after a New years Eve party in just a dress, 3 day before giving birth. Always say being pregnant is like having a hot water bottle shoved up your jumper.🤰🔥
I love this red nail polish! I'm a fan of getting my nails done, so I notice others. That red is festive!
My mother, husband, myself and tons of friends worked/work at Oral B. You can actually get product from the factory at a much lesser cost.
Trifecta Complete! You, Costco, and I bought myself a new vacuum. Thought I was just going to have my new vacuum to enjoy today, lol! I skipped Costco today so I appreciate you taking us along with you.
Oh dear you’re looking at those white bowls. I love those bowls. I’ve passed them up 3 times. They look perfect for pasta and stew. 😬 …. Imma go buy them. Oh also ~ real tree. It only feels right with a real tree, for me.
If you do make picklss next year, make sue you use pickle crisp and do low temperature pasteurization if you want them to be crisp!
The fresh produce from the grocery store is not nutritionally bad. It's really important to not accidentally shame people out of buying what they can afford. Your words are so powerful, and so on this case I wanted to provide my concern. I'm a registered dietitian with a BS and MS in nutrition. I really recommend buying frozen if you're super concerned about the date of picking vs date of purchase. The nutritional value in fresh and frozen produce is too similar to worry about the date of picking.
I do agree with you on growing what you can and buying local. But remember that a lot of people can't grow it. We don't want them feeling guilty for buying the squash picked 1 month ago with insignificant vitamin and mineral losses compared to home grown squash. I love your content! This is just the second time you've mentioned this concern, and I want to reassure everyone that it's not a big deal.
Yay! I love your videos Becky! I look forward to them every other day. You have inspired me to do so much at home and in my tiny garden. 💜
I worked at a major craft store. Wait until the day after thanksgiving or the day after that to buy your Christmas decorations. They price it way down because after thanksgiving it is dead.
My daughter got one of those tall and skinny tiered compartments and put all of my grandson’s diapering stuff. They kept it their bedroom and then moved it to his room beside the changing table.
Bananas are ripe when theyre covered in brown freckles.
So i like them ripe.
When they ripen to the point of splitting or being more brown patches than freckles i just unpeel them and freeze them and then use them in banana bread or banana nicecream etc
Oh and as it ripens it becomes less starchy and is one of the easiest if not easiest carbohydrates to digest so babies elderly and the convalescing can all safely get their carbs through banana even when they lack appetite or cant eat heavy startchy foods or grains etc
Theyre a true superfood.
I do like olive oil contents from only 1 source location: ITALY.
Looking forward to eggnog making with you Becky. A holiday fav. for sure.
I am a candle lover as well. I am slowly switching to using my diffuser with using organic essential oils for scent, plus it brings more humidity into the home in the winter months. Thanks for the IKEA candle tip!
Hi Becky, the coat looks great on you!! Keep it!
I LOVE COSTCO CLOTHES! Seriously, they are my favorite! My kids wear Costco stuff too and love it. I may have to go see if ours has those hoodies for my two 14 year old girls!
I hope this doesn't sound critical (as it's not meant to be! ) But someone explain how everything decorative is now gray. Baby clothes are gray. Kitchen items are gray.
Did I miss something ?
Walmart has good cotton towels and they don't shrink up and they are cheap. I use cloth napkins but I just get Bandanas they was up really well and you can find some nice prints
Candles, I love them too. I recently rediscovered our antique oil lanterns. Loving thier nostalgic glow and ambience! They last longer then some candles too.
Boursin cheese on crackers or French stick is so addictive, its the best soft cheese!
Mixes! Yes! I really miss using them!
For making gingerbread houses I highly recommend getting a cookie cutter kit for it. Also add some fresh grated ginger juice - you don’t want the ginger fibers in your cookies. Look for a recipe with some cornstarch and no leavening in it. And buy and use meringue powder in your royal icing glue, it helps them dry so much faster. I love homemade gingerbread houses!
My daughter uses them all the time.....but she also uses real jar candles.
Here in Texas we have both Aldi and Winco! I prefer winco because the selection is muuuuch larger
I'm so excited we're getting two WinCo in 2024
Becky thank you so much for all the dental advice I really appreciate it also I was at Costco in my area on Monday as well and I’ve never seen it that busy I told my husband somethings strange happening but I don’t know what it is lol
Hi Becky, I have always purchased real trees from the moment I moved out. Many years later I decided I wanted a fake flocked tree and have had it for 3 years now and I love IT. It feels good not to toss out a tree every year.
Becky, my Mom had the gingerbread house cake pans....they were small and made about the size house of the one on display there at Costco. They were in individual sides, each with their own different designs (windows, doors, siding, etc.) and the roof pans had tiny shingles on them.
You had to assemble the cake after it was baked and it was held together with icing. I remember that it made 'skinny' sides and top....were not deep pans as normal sized cake pans.
If you put white vinegar and baking soda on your towels it will keep away the shorting as well keeps them fluffy along with hot water
Becky if you have a Hobby Lobby or Michael's in your area, they are by far and away the best place to shop for seasonal decor. Also the prices are better than Target with much better selections.
I enjoyed shopping with you from England xxx
great video thanks for taking us along:) have a wonderful weekend.
In CT you have to pay for all bags as well. 1 paperbag can be priced between .10 and .50 and none of our stores carry plastic bags at all
Something you may want to look for to put in your kitchen, is stress relief mats. When I work in the kitchen for any length of time, my feet, legs, hips, and back hurt ALOT! My husband brought some home a couple days ago, and they are so comfortable to stand on. They seem to be made of some type of rubber, and are almost 1/2-1 inch thick. They'll be very easy to wipe clean of any spills. I have one in front of my stove, sink, and island, because that's where I do most of my work. I'm 60 years old, so take my advice, and do all you can to protect your body, while standing so long in the kitchen, or when you're 60, you'll wish you had. We got ours at Sam's Club, for less than $20 each. They come in very pretty muted designs, to look like a kitchen rug, that feels like a cloud! Aldi has them for a couple dollars cheaper, but they are not near the quality or cushion strength.
Don't know if you get this comment but when building a gingerbread house I highly recommend going to Martha Stewart route and using a light caramel to adhere the pieces together. Throughout my life royal icing or any other icing never worked for me store bought or homemade. But as soon as I did the caramel it held together so well so quickly and it lasted. Whether you eat the gingerbread house or not it definitely works.
Montrealer (Canadian here) grew up on Boursin cheese (it's French). It's phenomenal. Buy it. You won't regret it. It's an absolute addiction!
Eggs are very expensive and many times you can't even find any on the shelf. The supply has improved, but there are still gaps when you don't have chickens. The same thing happens with bacon and hot dogs. It disappears fast.
I like the purple borskin, but the green ones are just ok
Oh PS, thank you so much for the dental info. That is really super helpful. I appreciate those tips especially the type of tooth brush and floss. You rock
I used to light candles all the time. After having kids I prefer the electric route. I got a small hotplate from a thrift store to heat my scented candles and I got a bunch of those electric fake flicker candles as wedding gifts that I like to use too. They're not color changing though
Hi Becky, I really enjoyed going shopping with you but I bet you were worn out when you got home! Have you ever checked out Big Lots. I checked and there’s two in Vancouver. Prices are good and many things are inexpensive. You could do a simple tree decoration with colored balls of cream and bronze and warm white lights. That would be so pretty without blasting you with too much color. I hope you’ve got your bag and the baby’s bag packed because it really could come any time👣🧸😳. We lost our power up here in Marysville north of Everett for 41 hours!!! Luckily we have a wood stove and generator. Make sure you guys are prepared for power loss. And we have underground wiring but too many power losses down the line affected us. Take care and rest💜👶🏻💙
I want a real tree, but my husband won't agree to it. I would prefer a liquor advent calendar.
I bought gingerbread village kits last year for each of us to do one after our thanksgiving dinner. They were miniature houses & were a blast to make.
Funny thing…we have a tree farm but we use a fake Christmas tree because we are bithe allergic and the tree in the house is too much.
Your lucky to have a costco so close. It's a 3 hr drive for a costco for me.
I love when you talk about your profession...and i now know which dental floss to stay away from. Thank you! Love your videos. Best of luck with your new home and bundle of joy! You will be the best mom ever. ❤️
We have WinCo stores in Boise too, and we love them!
From August through December my house smells like cinnamon pine cones. The warehouse where they are bagged is just a couple of miles from my house. My brother works there every year and comes home with free bags and the smell of cinnamon on his clothes. I loved working there.
I love the white towels from Costco
I usually have a real tree but with a new little one we do artificial. I have two kids that are allergic to pine. My Grandson is 3 so we will try a real tree. If he has an allergy we can give him antihistamine or remove the tree. Safety idea for trees: use a rope of some kind to secure the tree to the wall.
Target has the 4oz jars for $12-ish
The little trees could be used for thanksgiving with the pine cones.
Those Charisma towels/bath sheets at Costco are hands down my favorite.
Bought my mom the same slippers and she loves them!
Look at Costco online for the coat
If you have a dollar tree store in ur area they have great inexpensive items to add to your decorations. Bed bath n beyond has nice table cloths n cloth napkins. Hope it helps. Love your channel
Try freeze drying your mushrooms Becky. It is both convenient as well as money saving……one of my favourite things to freeze dry
We live in Texas so it’s not unusual for us to be in shorts and flip flops. We always have an artificial tree. It just wouldn’t survive the heat.
the cheese is pronounced>Boo-rr-cen. Its french. really tasty creamcheese with herbs and garlic. And its really cheap overthere... Here in europe we pay about 4 dollars per package.
Becky if you like red wreaths, gather different sizes of pine cones, put them in a five gal bucket and put water over them the stir in red food coloring and let stand for 24 hours, then just buy the red fake berries and a bow and make one.
Making dill pickles is so easy. I have done lots of them this season. Did spears and chips. Winco is a employee owned store.
With your coat, you might be able to buy a panel that helps add some size to accommodate Bub. I have seen ones ( usually from the uk) that are designed to let you put the coat over yourself and a baby in a carrier.
My advent calendar this year is 25 different coffees
Buy the Boursin!!! So good on a Charcuterie board for Christmas!
Love when you nerded out over dental care!!!
We love our Naan bread minis with Tzatziki!
Becky, if I’m not mistaken, the 4 oz jars you were looking for were right under the Sure-Jell !
Becky treat yourself girl! You deserve it.!! Not just for the house. For yourself! 😀
Hi pretty lady how are you doing, and how the weather over there?
Oooo loving the dental tips! Thank you!
Boursin cheese spread on sourdough toast is amazing!
When you buy macaroni of some sort of pasta, look for pasta that isn’t shiny... then it’s more tastier
It was an amazing video! I loved it! It gave me such a great Christmassy holiday vibe, and I felt like I was there with you, enjoying all that. Please do some more videos like this this time of year. I am from Europe and it is nice to see what is happening in US this time of year, especially because you celebrate such an amazing holyday as thanksgiving.
I love the Boursin cheese to stir into mashed potatoes along with milk or cream and a bit of butter.
I like the dark grey floral bathmat
Becky, we love the Boursin cheese. Once when I was out of cream cheese, I stuffed some snacking peppers with it, and wrapped them in bacon. I got rave reviews.
We always have Mac & Cheese for every Holiday or get together especially because even the pickiest of eaters will be happy.
We are a 100% fake tree family. It is just a better deal and no watering. I grew up with a real tree and when I moved out my parents went with a fake one too. haha
i so enjoy your videos. I too am pregnant , Dental Hygienist as well , Used to live in PNW..We miss it alot ..I agree tremendously about Glide floss and stay away from Colgate total toothpaste. Oh and WE LOVE the WaterPick. My hubs is a dentist.
