    Hi Michelle! You should put your Christmas lights on timers, so you never have to manually turn them on and off. And you can have two time frames that they’re on, so that you save time during the night but can wake up to them!
    I always think this when I see UA-camrs vids!
    Merry Christmas!

    Michelle, I really related to your topic at the end of the video. I am recently married (3 months) and while I still work full time out of the home, I love spending time cleaning and cooking for my husband and caring for us in that way. I have definitely had others make negative comments about me being "expected" to do those things or acting like it's gender inequality. But the reality is I love doing those things and love having that role, and that's ok!!❤

  • @jaydenfay1982

    The Nightingale is a great read! Nonfiction or Historical fiction or memoir with a compelling plot line is 100% of what I read for fun. Most of these are best sellers from a few years ago and not all have that hint of romance but if you haven't already I highly recommend: 1) Educated by Tara Westover, 2) The Glass Castle by Jeanette Walls, 3) Born a Crime by Trevor Noah (audio book), 4) Unbroken by Laura Hildebrand, 5) Hillbilly Elegy by J.D. Vance.
