    How sweet that was for JAXON to give his room up for his grandmother he’s an amazing young man. As he has an amazing mom that goes all the way out for her family. That’s one reason I love watching your videos. Your content is always real life and you’re always honest with us and tell us everything that’s going on. You have a fabulous weekend. God bless.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

    As someone from Southern California that has plans to relocate back east in a couple of years or so for retirement, I am always so appreciative to see how the weather is back there, especially during the winter time. I’m excited for new changes and adventures in different climates and what you showed us in this video was so beautiful to me.

    Happy Weekend Erica and family glad to see you seem more relaxed and less stressed. Goodness I do not know where you find the energy to get everything done. Your family is absolutely blessed that they have a great mom, wife ,and daughter.
    We need more videos with more realistic content not everyone can have a mansion. You show us everyday life good or bad. You were many hats and juggle so much and have such a big heart. I think that comes from having Christian values and putting the Lord first in everything you do.
    Thank you for sharing your life with us. Stay safe and warm. Love little buttercup she is so cute and very energetic.

    Arika we have been having really cold weather here if Florida too. Below freezing once and that is something that doesn’t happen often in this state. Sweet lady you hang in there. Everything will work out in the end for good. I just love watching Ollie and Buttercup. Ollie will miss her when she leaves. I sure hope your mom can have her when she leaves. And like you, when my dryer kicks off, I immediately get the clothes out. I don’t like ironing either. I so look forward to your next video, and I will see you then.

    I’m glad your enjoying your waffle maker Arika! Our weather here has been similar. When it’s like that I feel like hibernating. I was watching the news about the fires in California and it’s so awful. All those homes gone. My nieces father-in-law lost his home which he built himself in N. Carolina to the flooding. It’s just heartbreaking. Take care everyone. ❤

    Buttercup yes she is energetic but because she is a puppy, she is telling your dog that she wants to play, all she wants is that. ( not anxious just a playful dog because she still a baby ,
    your dog does not respond because is a mature doggie, she needs a lot of walking time , and play time so she develop a healthy brain, a good walk daily will bring her energy way down but it need to be consistent. I have a Husky a corgi the most energetic dog and I pet sit for different breads, every dog have different needs. She is an amazing dog and so beautiful, she will be an awesome dog when she reaches adulthood. Remember dogs will forever be toddlers. You are so nice and patient with them, Arika you are an amazing human being thank you 🙏 you are an inspiration to me in every video.
    From an animal lover because they don’t have a voice.♥️🩷I love them all.

    Good afternoon Arika ,,first ty for letting us all be part of your sweet family,,my family unfortunately don't have much time for us so I enjoy watching yours , I know how much you actually like me do enjoy the different seasons and I'm happy you are getting to enjoy some snow ❄️ ❄️ , but I wanted to tell you to maybe talk to your vet and ask about an oil or something like that I can't think of what it's called right now but your vet should be able to recommend something for buttercup to calm her down a little , I had a friend that had a Pitt and she was very jealous of girls around her human lol and he couldn't leave her home alone because she would rip his house of so she was caged alot. So his vet recommend I think its a cvd oil or something like that , but now she is a good dog no more cage I mean he still has to leave her out to run off some of her energy but it's amazing the difference,,it can't her to ask your vet or even a petco too will help figure something out ,,good luck ty again for sharing and give your mom a hug from me cause I don't have my mom no more and I miss those hugs , God bless you all and omg PLEASE GIVE THAT SWEET HANDSOME KIND HEARTED BROTHER OF YOURS A BIG OLE HUG FROM ME TOO , he's also amazing and I love watching him on here too ,,I wonder if he ever thinks about starting his own channel wow would he have a lot of followers Patrick is AMAZING LOL ❤

    Hello Arika! I thought of you the other day when the weather report showed that you would be getting a snow storm. Here in Massachusetts, it has been very cool. It is 17 degrees but feels like 1 degree so that is lovely. I also wanted to mention what an amazing person you are, you are always right there to help out with your family. Happy New Year to you and yours and God Bless.❤

You always make nice and delicious looking meals. We’re supposed to get about 8 to 10 inches of snow throughout the night. I absolutely love snow but I pray everyone will be safe during the snowstorms that are expected. Great video Arika life isn’t always easy but you definitely know who to lean on 🙏. Thank you for sharing a little piece of your life 😊. God bless you and your beautiful family…..🍃♥️🍃

    I’d love to have a portion of butter cups energy.
    Winter storm round 2 in eastern KY should start around noon today. Went to the grocery last night mainly for some snacks things and groceries for my mother in law and the shelves were bare.
    Trying to decide if I should go pick up hubby’s prescription or wait and let him take me lol I’m so over being cold.
    The potato soup looked so good. Thinking of making some maybe tomorrow. But not with cheese, the way mom made and eat with cornbread. But chili today! So excited!!
    Stay warm… this stuff will be headed to you !

      @sherrypilkington6406 13 днів тому +1

      I don't believe Buttercup will be accepted because too energetic, barks and may trip someone with all the running she does.
      Not sure this was a good choice of breed for your Mom.
      I think the best thing you can do now is enter Buttercup into dog training class. They will have helpful ways to train your dog etc. Best of luck.

My car wouldn't start Tuesday and I had to take care of doctor's appointment Wednesday and then today I've had one of my cats at the urgent care. Been a rough week. One of these days we will meet up at church. I saw you last Sunday at a little bit of a distance but it was such a crowd and I was going the opposite way after church. I don't comment very often put rarely miss a video! My husband has watched some of your videos also. He has seen you all a time or two while I wasn't walking with him at church.

      She's there too 😊 just having to rotate with the puppy Buttercup being very high energy to give Belle a rest.

    Your mother can take the dog with her to the facility, especially since she is so rambunctious?

      She won't be going to a facility. I'll share an update soon.

      We still have our sweet Belle! She's almost 12 so she's a lot less active than Buttercup.

      It's nice you have a good size yard for Butter cup to run. That dog is so cute💕 I have 5 dogs (9yrs-15yrs), but when it snows, they turn into puppies again..lol💕 Michigan subscriber here🤗 Fan of your vlogs for approx 4+yrs. Love them all !!!​@@DorsettDoorstep

    Little Miss Buttercup is a busy girl 😂 It looks like Ollie is getting used to her and having fun chasing around in the yard 😍. The vacuum you got for Paisley is so cute & such a good deal too 😊
