    Driving in the car, able to have an uninterrupted conversation-YES!!! As a mom of 4 kids ages 6 and under, that is the very best/most helpful date for strengthening our marriage.
    Thanks for bringing reality into better focus, talking about the hard things and also highlighting and treasuring the beauty in the everyday, small moments that add up to magic. Have a beautiful Advent season!

    Just chiming in to say: Lydia, you're a woman of many talents also. A lot of the time, we don't consider things that come natural to us as particularly special etc., but you're a wonderful person and (imo) the best relationships are those in which people complement one another!

    Definitely relate to having a handy husband and being...uh, less so. When I mentioned it he said, "You do stuff too. You can stretch a dollar." Never really thought of that as a contribution before.
    You have that skill too--dollar stretching and administrative skills and tech skills and the whole mama package skillset. I know that's bad grammar, but I gotta send because this is my tiny window to read a book.
    As always, thank you.
    May God bless you with as many subscribers as you want.

      That's me. I have a horrible time asking for help. I am trying to be better. I have realized recently that I have passed that on to my 17 yr old. She told me she doesn't like to ask for help......
      She learned from me.
      So I am working on it.

    I ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️this video. Authenticity seems to diminish often as channels become ‘more successful’. I can always count on you Lydia when I need to feel better 🥰. “Nothing happened this year that I planned, and everything that happened was not planned”. We need to give ourselves grace and leave space for the magic.

    Thank YOU for being here, Lydia! I think you are truly rich, even if you don't have a million dollar book deal, etc. Those things are fleeting and your precious family is not.
    Funny (kinda sad) story, I opened a Roth IRA at 16 at a local bank. I had no idea how they worked, I just knew Dave Ramsey told me to do it. 😂 It was just a savings account. I went 10+ years before someone at the bank was like, "You have this as a savings account?! You need to have it as an investment account." Oops...

    Love your vids. As a special needs mom I live a very "different" life but it's a GREAT life. ❤️ I also want to encourage you that, at least in my experience, 30s decade = striving & juggling 40s decade = a more settled place (less plates spinning maybe? Idk)

      The 60's decade... retirement is pretty cool:). Grandkids go out to dinner with you I'd spend the night occasionally and then go home. Lol. My hubs had a stroke a couple of years ago and while life looks different for us it's still pretty great!

    I got the chills when you talked about the rubber vs glass ball and that your family is the one you're not letting go of. I always appreciate your honest, real take on things, and that you acknowledge challenges that might not seem apparent when we only look at the 'outside' of things. 🧡

    Love your video. I also have a hard time asking for help. My boss has called me out on it several times. I stress myself out because of it. I’ve worked hard the past two years and I’m doing better with asking for help and delegating. Happy birthday to your son and happy anniversary! Thank you for your content!

    Fantastic video... Half an hour ago I was walking down the stains with a step ladder and a screwdriver in my hand after changing a light bulb... And I thought hmmm if I fall I'm holding this screwdriver in such a way I'll stab myself... I'm not going to call for help, I'll just bleed out....

    I think everyone asks for experiences over toys as gifts but the reality is they are often more expensive than a toy. Even a simple children’s museum pass for a year was $150. I gave that to my niece but she is an only child. So a family membership was more than most people can afford to give as a gift for a single child. They also did not seem to sell individual memberships. Only family memberships. Of course I know she will enjoy it all year round and saves the parents from paying entrance fees. But man oh man it was expensive gift. I actually think a contribution to a 529 is a better gift because people, can give what they would have spent on a physical gift and it is a gift that grows in the future. But just my take. No one has ever given my kids museum passes or a 529 contribution 😂

    • @TheRealLydiaSenn
      @TheRealLydiaSenn  2 роки тому +3

      They *can be more expensive if you're doing something like an entire annual pass. But the bounce park gift card cost $25. Here are some fun experience gifts my kids have gotten.
      - A gift card to go get a frozen yogurt
      - a Barnes and Nobel card attached to a cookie from the B&E bakery telling them to ask their mom to take them to pick out a new chapter book- $10-$15.
      - A magazine subscription $20 on Amazon.
      - A pack of colored pencils and an art class on Outschool -$20
      - Sonic gift card to go get a fun drink after school - $5

    • @mariaolker
      @mariaolker 2 роки тому

      They don't have to be expensive gift cards. My best friend gave my kids a gift card to Baskin Robbins cause she knows I refuse to buy one ice cream cone that costs more than a whole container of ice cream. 😁
