Andrea, hi 👋 i have a question: how can I buy for one month only? I want to try them first and see if they work. But it seems like I only have the choice to buy every month, or three months or six months. I don't want my card to be charged automatically. Help, please and thank you 😊
@@Rafaela20242hi, I was wondering the same. If you read further down in the description it says there is the option to cancel at any time. You would probably want to order the one month supply and then cancel before the month is over.
I just found you a couple of days ago. I am 61 years old. My children are in their early thirties and late twenties. They are all out of the house. Enjoy this time with your children! I was a stay at home Mom and loved the same things you do! You are a breath of fresh air! God Bless you! Stay true to yourself.
Thank you so much! 😊
Lilacs are my favorite as well. The scent is calming. There is something about their structure that is peaceful. True, they do not last once cut, but you can dry them and put them in a jar. Add them to potpourri or top a burning candle to get subtle hints of lilac💕
My husband & I just spent 10 days in Ireland for our 40th anniversary. I was so reminded of your home and the charm of the way you decorate when we were in homes there. I was able to thrift several items to bring home. I love the style of your home and the way if feels so welcoming and homey.
You are my new peace of mind at work in my Beats Earbuds. Your voice is soothing and calm and I have learned to budget by thrifting beautiful pieces. I have also learned to RELAX & CALM DOWN. I am engineer and outside of work, my kids and home is what makes me so happy. So stumbling across your channel through my DIY researching has been such a pleasure.🙌🏽🥰
This video is what I needed. We just watched our daughter graduate high school and I’m so proud of her but it’s hard. It’s not just that but my daddy passed unexpectedly three and half years ago and there has been so much change. Her graduation was weird. I feel like I just graduated school myself. I came home and thought I need to watch something and decompress and your video was my pick. It was so enjoyable. 😊
What a sweet husband to get those clippings for you. The Lilacs are so beautiful! One of my favorite smells 💜 I'm looking forward to working in the yard. Thank you for the inspiration!
Thank you! 😊
I grew up in Ohio and the Lilacs is my all time favorite. I have lived in Georgia for the past 35 years and unfortunately you can’t have lilacs down here because it doesn’t get cold enough in the winter, but I have fallen in love with the gardenias and I do love azaleas and hydrangeas are beautiful in spring and summer. ❤❤❤
I was blessed to be home with my children when they were little. I enjoyed it so much! They grow so quickly, it is such a precious few years. You are a girl after my own heart for sure. I love home making as well. Your home and yard are lovely! My husband loves strawberry rhubarb crisp and pie! Enjoy! ❤
I live in north central Ohio and our growing/blooming season began a but early for us this year, first I had about 5 varieties of daffodils, mixed with red and yellow tulips, then had lavender lilacs come in, and now I have bright pink double centered "peonies" or as my grandmother called them "pineys". These were all here when we moved in 6 years agao, but some are just beginning to really come into bloom in the past couple of years... as for perennials, when we moved in I bought a clematis vine, and I have planted a sedum called autumn joy, and t=in some parts of the country they are called "rain downs" because they planted them at corners of their homes where the rain gutters drained...They have a purple flower that you can bring in and dry and they make a lovely floral in the winter. We also planted variegated hostas.... I want to plan so much more for my yard..... but it takes time
Try using cardboard to suppress weeds. I’ve used it and it’s a game changer! In my experience it’s better than weed fabric. Your yard is beautiful and idyllic.
I heard the way you keep a plant from taking over, is to plant it in a pot and plant the pot in the ground. This only works if the plant spreads thru underground roots, not from above the soil. I haven't had the chance to try it, but I hear it works.
When I was a florist, for the more woodier stems we would recut the stem and then cut up into the end of stem so the bottom was split - do this just before putting in the vase. This, I was told, lets more water up into the stem. The two garden beds up by the gate would be so beautiful! Oh and for the dryer vent maybe placing a piece of statuary in front of it would deflect some of the heat so you could plant in front of it then.
Thanks so much! 😊
Oh, I miss lilacs! Last year during a storm, my neighbor lost a BIG branch off his tree, and it fell into my lilac bush. My husband cut it way back, and it had a lot of new growth on it this year but no flowers. Hoping next year I get some. I agree, they never last long-just like my Lily of the Valley-which smell so good, too!! I just love Spring. Everything is blooming and green! While I love Summer, the heat can turn the grass a bit dry and not look as lush and I don't have a lot of flowers that bloom during that season. Good thing my crops are usually being harvested!
Lovely, as always! What a beautiful outdoors you've created as well as indoors!
I love how calming your voice is ❤
☺️
My hostas and ferns love it around my dryer vent, as a matter of fact they are bigger there than any other area around our house.
My soulmate has been gone now for 23 years...but the look on his face when he got home and smelled something I baked ,was worth every minute I spent making it. He got home late and would always have a big glass of milk and a treat before bed. Your lilacs are beautiful, inside and out. I would love to be able to clip from my garden .
Thank you for sharing that! 😊
You can get lilacs to last longer if you split the cut stem up the middle a few inches and smack them to flatten out just a little. It’ll help the intake of water. Lilacs peonies and tulips are my favorites but I can’t grow tulips. Squirrels and rabbit and deer love them😂
Tina from to mini's house we go, planted hydrangeas in front of her dryer vent, and they love it there
Hi Andrea, I completely agree with you about the lilacs. I’ve grown my own cut flowers for the past few years. Ever since, store-bought flowers almost seem sterile and boring! There is a wildness to flowers that is lost in the way that they harvest for mass sales. Beautiful ❤
Thanks so much for sharing your crisp recipe! I had some rhubarb and strawberries, that I needed to use up. I just put it in the oven and it smells amazing! We will definitely be serving warm with vanilla ice cream!
Hi Andrea, I loved seeing the outside of your home so thank you for sharing that. When I was a kid, my Aunt had so many Lilacs. It was like a privacy fence. My father used to cut some off and put them on our kitchen table. Trouble is whenever I was drinking milk, it tasted like lilacs which I didn’t like. Working outside is a never ending task. You pull weeds, cut grass, plant flowers and water them. This year we are getting plenty of rain so we don’t have to water. Best part of the video was the shot with you and your boys. Thank you so much for posting this.
Thank you! 😊
Yummy! Just so tranquil! Love all of your work!
Good morning Andrea, what a beautiful video I could almost smell the lilacs 🪻. We are blessed to have 2 Lilacs in our yard so I look forward to bringing them in the house every spring. They usually bloom in Massachusetts around Mother's Day which is so lovely to bring that beautiful scent in our home at that time. Have a wonderful day.
That sounds wonderful for Mother’s Day! 😊
Placing a bird bath that comes just above the dryer vent is a good idea”hide” for the vent.
I think we all love lilacs so much is because there is a very short window in which to enjoy them. Other favourites are tulips and daisies!
I agree! 😊
Such a beautiful video! Your home and gardens are havens of happiness and joy! 💜💜
Yes, I have two vases full of white and purple lilacs. One on the table and one in the living room. They smell sooo good!
Dear Andrea, you are such a blessing to your family and to us viewers. I thoroughly enjoy your calm nature and the love you put into everything ..like me!😊 ❤🇨🇦🇩🇪sending you love !
Your yard is just an absolute dream 💗 You guys have created something that is just so beautiful and peaceful ☺️
Lilacs and peony’s are must in my house during springtime.
Same here!
What a sweet home and yard! I love lilacs and their wonderful fragrance. One of my favorites to bring inside along with roses and peonies.
I'm behind on watching videos as I have been babysitting grands for 10 days. House is all clean, laundry done so I am treating myself to your video!! Such a relaxed, calm video....thank you!!! I love your outdoor space and all of your plants. The scent of lilacs takes me back to my childhood!! Thank you for sharing your recipe!! God bless you and your family!!
Wow! What a beautiful yard you have! That’s exactly what I picture as a yard you’d see in heaven. Absolutely gorgeous!😊
I have a lilac bush that belonged to my mom and she got the start for it from my grandmother. It is very special to me! I pick a few to bring in every year and a few to take a bouquet to my daughter ❤
Your yard is absolutely beautiful love all the shrubs and flowers. I definitely will be making the berry crisp as I have rhubarb growing in my yard.
That’s awesome you’re reusing the slate outside!
One thing we like to use for raised beds is Castle Rock stacking stone concrete blocks.. You can get them in several colors. The things I like about them is that, they dont. rot. I dont have to worry about anything leaching into the soil. I can move them if I dont like where they are at or the shape of bed.. (we do not cement ours in place for changes we make later). The other thing you might think about adding is a arch panel over the two beds at the side of path. that way you can grow lovely roses, clematis, or cup and saucer vines. Just some ideas. yes the stone is a bit more costly. but maybe you can find them on marketplace used.
😊 thank you
The stepping stones are perfect💜
Thank you! 😊
Such a beautiful home and yard!!! Your family is beautiful as well! Delicious crisp I’m sure!!!
The lilacs are beautiful! We don't have them here in south Florida but our gardenia bushes are blooming. They make the house smell amazing!
There’s nothing like the smell they bring into a home! 😊
I love lilacs too! I need to get me a lilac bush....had one but hubby decided to trim it and it doesn't bloom anymore....so sad! Loved to have them in the house! All the yard renovations will look beautiful. I especially liked your idea of the beds on each side of the walkway! That would look exceptional!
Lilacs are my favorite! They were my momas favorite! ❤️
My mother had lilacs in our yard. It was her favorite family only come out in May. She always told us to pick them because the more you picked the next year and more will blow.
You bring so much comfort and joy to my mundane days. I gravitate to your belief and ways of bringing life to our everyday life. Have a blessed Memorial Day weekend. Marilyn from Michigan.❤🙏🏻
Thank you so much for such kind words! 😊
I love this video! Your home, yard, gardens, and dessert are so beautiful! We live in Texas where it’s already in the 80’s and 90s. The hostas here don’t grow quite that large, but are still gorgeous. In the spring, I love to bring in Indian paintbrush, coreopsis, and wisteria. We are in north East Texas, and so bluebonnets are not as prevalent here. But we enjoy what we have for as long as we can. Thank you for sharing, God Bless, and Happy Spring!! 🌺
Thank you! 😊
The stepping stones look lovely!
Thank you! 😊
Lilacs are my favorite next to roses and lilac purple is my favorite color
Hello Andrea. I am a new subscriber enjoying your videos. Lilacs are my favorite flower also. I am originally from Rochester NY where the annual Highland Park Lilac Festival showcases over 1200 lilac bushes. I recently moved to Maine and how serendipitous that our yard came with a beautiful large deep purple lilac bush! Your home is beautifully decorated with taste and style.I enjoyed the outdoor tour, so pretty and peaceful. I appreciate all the effort you put into your videos.
A beautiful video and the dessert looked so yummy! My mother always made a rhubarb coffee cake that was delicious!
I really enjoy your channel. I wish we had a lilac bush as I love the way they smell. I have two peony bushes and I just love them. They don't last very long. When they start to bloom, I know that spring is finally here. I love making bouquets for my dining room table and my bedroom!
I’m glad you enjoy it! 😊
Lilacs are my favorite spring flower!! Ours got hit with a late freeze this year so I missed out. Yours (and your friend’s) are absolutely beautiful!!
Thank you! 😊
Hi there. I planted lavender by my dryer vent. When I had the dryer on it wafted the scent of lavender around which was beautiful! The lavender thrived there too xx
I love Seed. I’ll be getting more as I’m been out of it .
Beautiful yard ♥️🌺
Such a sweet sweet family 🙏🏽
Thank you! 😊
I LOVE LILAC, I have 9 of them in my garden, I love the scent, and love bringing them inside ,even for the short time they last.
Wow! How nice!! 😊
I never tried it before but I was told to the hammer the ends of the lilacs and split it opened and then put them in water they will last a little bit longer
Thank you! I’ll try that next year! 😊
I like lilac and daisy ❤
Very beautiful vibes ❤ thank you ❤
I like the stepping stones in the yard looks nice. I see you kept the heart that you thrifted still on the garage wall looks good there. Have a nice Memorial Day weekend!
Thank you😊
This was such a beautiful video. Your home and yard is just stunning, a beautiful cottage oasis. I love lilacs too, they smell so lovely. The picture of you and your boys on the hammock was priceles. Bless you and your family 😊✝️
Thank you! 😊
Here in CA my three redbuds are all done flowering and have their leaves now. I love them. My dryer vent does not harm any of my plants. I want to see your garden at least every month if not every week!
Haha I’ll try to share often! 😊
Lilacs are lovely indoors due to the scent, but you're right. They don't last long. Makes us appreciate them more. 🥰 As for the dryer vent. If you do lots of laundry, don't plant anything close to it. It will dry out the soil around the plants and the plants themselves. You could, however, put something in front of it to redirect the hot air in another direction. Your talented husband can figure something out, I'm sure. 🙂
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE LILACS ! BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL ❤
Me too!! 😊
Hello, enjoyed your video, gorgeous years. I love lilacs I planted a lilac bush last year. I love daisies, hydrangeas, I have some of those too. Take care, hope to see you soon.
Your lilacs and that redbud tree are gorgeous!
Thank you! 😊
The lilacs a gorgeous❤ I really like the stepping stones. My mom had several snowball bushes when i was growing up, right by the kitten window. I love your backyard, its so pretty❤ Mmmm that crisp dessert looks delicious😋 Thanks for sharing everything with us today!
Thank you! 😊
Your piece of land, you and your husband have created it to be so beautiful, peaceful and cozy. I looked forward to seeing your videos, l know that they are always giving inspirations.
Thank you so much! 😊
Thank you! 😊
We have 2 lilacs dark and light purple. Those and my hydrangea are my favorites.
I used to live in Lansing MI. I loved the lilacs in late May. We got married on Mackinac Island many years ago and it just so happened that it was during the lilac festival! The Island was gorgeous. Been back many times there. In fact we went last June and made sure it was the week of the annual lilac festival. It was so gorgeous! I live in South Carolina now and we do miss the Michigan summers! Not the winter ha ha.😊
Your yard looks like a park! It's gorgeous! ❤
My Lilac is a bright vibrant PINK color...I love it! Reminds me of my childhood home... Yours may be: "Syringa Blue Skies" variety...it is beautiful!
hey girl- love the video!😀😉 such pretty flowers. Y'all have done a great job on your back yard- Looks so good!😁👍and that crisp looks amazing- yummy😋always enjoy seeing the boys- oh so cute!😊y'all have a blessed weekend🥰
So beautiful! I can’t wait to try the crisp with all the wild blackberries we have coming up😊
Thanks! 😊
I started smiling the instant I saw you had a video!!! ❤ Everything is beyond glorious!!! You are abundantly blessed!!! I have a Miss Kim Lilac next to my front porch and it smells divine! ❤
Thank you so much! 😊
@@PineandProspectHome you’re so welcome! 🥰
Weeds in rocks are the worst. We have a large area in our yard that we put barrier down then rocks on top about 20 years ago. We now have so many weeds we either need to remove the rock to remove the weeds and put the rock back or spray the weeds with killer. Both options are not good. The crisp looks amazing. Thanks for the inspiration and recipe.
Favorite is carnations , stocks and roses.
Your yard is so nice Andrea , I just love lilacs, they smell so good and are so beautiful in a cottage garden. Love the recipe ….my husband loves strawberries in a dessert, I’ll have to make it. I love homemaking too and creating beauty …it’s just so fulfilling. Many blessings to you and your family.
Thank you! 😊
What a fun vid! Thanks for sharing! We are working on outside project all weekend so watching this video was inspiring!:)
I’m so glad!! 😀
A miss lilacs! I grew up in mid Michigan and have lived in Florida for 45 years . No lilacs here. Have you thought of putting cardboard down on your grass, then your boxes. Have used cardboard several places around my yard to create new beds. I'm 72, and it saves digging up established sod. Lovely home, and your videos are always a blessing.
Wonderful yard Andrea . I know you are so blessed. Enjoy that yummy crisp dessert.
Thank you! 😊
Ahh. The arrival of spring is so great after a long winter! Any of the mints-peppermint, spearmint, lemon balm (aka melissa), etc.-would grow easily. The only problem would be keeping them from spreading too much, like your mallow does. But…you’d have such lovely tea options and they make beautiful little fragrant cuttings in the house.
Keep up the good work in the yard.
Thank you!😊
Your yard looks amazing. I love to bring my roses and hydrangeas in. I have knock out roses and just love them. As always I just love your beautiful home.
Thank you! 😊
There is a lilac bush at my parents' house, with a plum tree growing out of the middle. Lilacs have the best smell, but they are definitely so short-lived :(
One of my favorite videos of yours 💜 ive heard of u take a hammer to the ends of the lilac stems and take almost all the leaves off they will last longer as cut flowers! Love that u took us outside to see ur beautiful slice of paradise!
Thank you! 😊
The scent of lilacs is so nostalgic. Growing up entire neighborhood was established in the early 1900's and planted with
How wonderful! 😊
Peonies and magnolias blossoms are my Spri g favorites.
Love this warm and inspiring video! Thanks for creating these calming videos.
For those raised bed spots, if you are looking for a low maintenance plant, German chamomile is delicate, beautiful, so so easy, and can be harvested for tea. I would highly recommend it!
Blessings!
Thank you so much! 😊
Just tried the vinegar salt dish soap weed killer recently, worked great.
Good morning Andrea! Your Lilacs are gorgeous! Sorry, here in Louisiana I haven't seen Lilacs, but we do have Magnolias and Hydrangeas and the are simply exquisite! Your yard is gorgeous and I bet the scent is heavenly! Have a wonderful, blessed weekend! 🙏🤍
Thank you! 😊
Most really good landscaping companies don’t use them a lot because they area short bloom. But I love them also. Your home is lovely. Weeds can live everywhere.
Enjoyed so much 😅
Your flowers and trees are so beautiful 😍 and the dessert looks delicious 😋 ❤
Thanks! 😊
Enjoyed xbeautifl flowers and delicious desert.
Thank you! 😊
Hi, I enjoy watching your video. There are a couple of things I want to comment about from what I've learned. I don't know how old is your home, the older it is the more susceptible to mold in the basement when people plant anything too close to the walls of the house outside. Gutter drainage too close to the house brings mold all over the walls. The solution to the problem if you ever come across it, make a drench around the perimeter of the house to create drainage away from the house so all the rainwater and any water would stay away from the walls of the basement. Linen gravel is ideal. An expert can explain better. 2. You mentioned dryer vent. People don't know this I just learned. Vents have to be cleaned every 6 months to a year depending on the age of the home and the dryer usage. If not cleaned, clogged vents are fire Hazzard and clothes do not dry the way they are supposed to. People think it's the dryer, most likely is the clogged vent. Another words the clear the perimeter of the house from plants drainage gutters the dryer mold free your house will be. Don't take my word for it ask the experts.
Thanks! 😊
It’s always tricky with plants to find the fine line between those that are easy to grow and yet don’t become weeds. The older I get the narrower that line gets!
Wanted to let you know per one of your videos, you talked about Oak Island and Southhport, NC. We just returned from there. I had never heard about these places, so checked it out and went down there. We are from Indiana. Thank you for talking about these 2 places. Want to go back someday❤
I’m so glad! I love it there! 😊
Your husband brought a lovely selection of lilacs!
Yes he did! 😊
Loooove lilacs!! With lilacs try smashing them with hammer or cut the stem in the middle lengthwise, so they can drink water better. Lilacs have woodsy stem and need lots of water and they don’t get enough when you just simply cut it like any other flower❤ love your channel!
Thank you! I will definitely try that! 😊
