Sad to see you step away, but completely understand! Praying for you mama! This mom basket gave me a great idea --not only to mimic you, and have one for myself, but to make up two more! One for each of my kids for their quiet time! I'm trying to get us away from the TV and this seems most hard when they first wake up, so this will be a great alternative!! Thank you!
I just came across your channel... well I know it was the Lord that brought me here...I’ve been struggling with yelling and saw your video on that... it helped tremendously and then I watch the mom basket one... I’ve heard of this before but the way you explained it... having everything you need in one place ...that was a game changer for me... I have 4 boys 14,7,3 and a 19mth old....my father in law became very ill in Oct of last year...my sweet husband who works in the hospital is now also keeping his dad’s tailor shop stay open...so by the time he gets home it’s bedtime for the kids...it’s been hard taking care of the boys and trying to maintain order in the house, I know this is for a season and with God’s help we’ll get through and my father in law will get better...all this to say that spending time in his presence and his word is what is going to get me, us through and so I thank God for allowing you to do these 2 videos because they have helped me more than you can imagine... we might never get to meet in person but we will definitely meet in heaven. My husband and I will have you and your family in our prayers so The Lord can continue to use you wherever you are needed. God bless you and your beautiful family.
Hi! I have incorporated this into my life and as a first time mom it has CHANGED my quiet time for the better. Thanks so much for the idea! I've also shared it with my friends who aren't parents yet, and they're calling it a faith basket.
I have watched several of your videos. I find them especially encouraging when my husband is gone. I'm a military wife and homeschooling mama to three littles. I love having your encouragement on different things. Your video about when your children don't feel like blessings came at an especially needed time. When I watch your stuff I feel like I get a little bit of how and an answered prayer. Thanks for all that you share Shirley. For your joy and for pieces of wisdom. Though I don't know you these "mom chats" make me feel like we're friends. Thanks for being a blessing. Also, I am going through that book as well! What a blessing that God can put people or books in our lives that can help. Again, thanks for all you share and do. I also put my mom basket together last night. Have a blessed day friend.
I normally am not one to comment but your videos I always glean something from. I added this mom basket to my life. I love it. I used to leave things all over but I love having it all in one spot no “where’s my-book? Bible? Journal? Devotional?” Thanks Shirley!
Aww! Thanks for taking the time to comment, Laura! Before starting my channel, I was just like you...not a big commenter so I get it! Makes me appreciate your comment so much more. Glad you're loving you're mom basket and I hope you and your family had a very merry Christmas! xo
photos.app.goo.gl/hVCdcVgsHgcXTVyG8 I'm in love!! 😍 Came across this basket/bin today for $8. I wasn't even there searching for one. It's perfect! The front reads, "I will walk by faith even when I cannot see".
I will absolutely be making a basket! My things are completely scattered around the house, and in my car! Thank you for sharing. Also, I just prayed for your heart and your sweet family. None of us are immune to tough seasons and I am certainly cheering you on! The lord is so faithful! Until next time! Xoxo
Shirley, you are a HUGE encouragement to me ❤️ this is my first year homeschooling, and you have given me a new, refreshing way to look at things and approach things with my kiddos. You are the sweetest thing but keep it real and give some tough love thoughts. I miss your videos, and appreciate these special ones! Take care, prayers for you and your family!
I love this. Thank you so much for sharing this great idea. When I get free time I run around trying to find my stuff. I will be making me a mom basket!! Love and prayers to you and your family.
Always such a friend in this first year homeschool. Such practical tips and encourages/ leads me closer to Jesus!! Thanks again, praying for you friend
Just want to pop in and say, I really appreciate your authenticity and willingness to not make UA-cam a master over your family. I always really appreciate when moms are upfront about stepping away from social media to focus on family and just be a mom to their children without feeling like they have to be documenting every little step for their followers. While I always find encouragement from other Christian moms/mentors, it always encourages me as well when mom's step away from their platform to also evaluate how much time I am spending following other's versus following God and just being present in my home. I will always be a subscriber, but again, so much love and encouragement to you for just being REAL!
I am not good at Instagram haha so I'd been wondering where you went. Thanks so much for the update! I have a mom basket too but I love to see the things you have in yours, and got some great ideas! Just put the pass along prayers in my Amazon cart. I admire your putting aside the UA-cam channel, it is hard to do. I'm planning on taking a social media break for the month of Christmas, it's easier to focus on our own family and goals, especially as another homeschool family. I will be praying for you and your family!
I absolutely love this idea!! I need to incorporate a mom basket into my daily routine! Thank you for sharing (and so great to see your beautiful face on here again! ❤)
So good to see you! Love this idea! I have a cloth bag that I keep all my study supplies in. I have been studying the Bible with Busy Mamas Bible Study. I love her Bible studies! I have never studied the Bible so in-depth as I do when I follow her studies! Praying for you during this season!
It’s so nice to see you again!! Everything in your basket is SO pretty! I’m excited to see the 5 yr journal because I actually ran across a similar journal from the 1940’s that was completely filled out by a man who has come and gone but it was so interesting reading about his life back then! It’s good to know they still make journals like that! I thought it was a really neat idea. Anyway, I have missed your encouraging videos! But, I completely understand needing to invest your time elsewhere for a while. Do you have a few favorite you tube friends that we can follow when we need encouragement in this homeschool journey with littles?
Just scrolling through you tube and I saw your sweet self and my eyes got so big! I checked and you had posted just 2 days ago and I said, "She's back!" with a big smile and I couldn't click any faster than I did on your video! I've missed you! I found out in the same day that you and 2 other sweet ladies were off you tube. THAT was a sad day, like really sad. We as viewers, I am realizing, really become attached and look forward to seeing our "friends" on you tube. So anyway, I could go on and on but I'M SO HAPPY YOU'RE BACK! I haven't even watched ;) I just had to jump on and say hi!
UA-cam is another thing! It sure is mama....I understand 100%!!! Fellow homeschool, UA-cam mama! It is so hard to balance everything! You can do anything ...but not EVERYTHING! Right?! So hard to remember this sometimes...but if we press in...He will lead us in the right direction! 💗🙏🌸 I have a mom basket right next to my bed! One of my favorite things! I have daily devotions, my Bible, my journal and a few homeschool books! Great video mama! 💗
I always look forward to your videos! Thank you. I have a mom basket, but its not nearly as cute as yours! 🥰 I eagerly await your videos as I'm not on other social media, but I'll still be here whenever you do post! 😘
That is a great idea. Just found your channel the other day while looking for ideas for how to arrange our homeschool space. Thank you so much for all that you have shared so far on this channel. I have binge watched so many of your videos since Wednesday. You are such a delight and encouragement. Will be praying for your season. I heard you have a Etsy business. What is that or how can I find you there? God bless, sweet sister mama! ~Sara not Caleb
Thank you so much for taking time to give an update, share your heart, and for sharing a great idea. Just found a basket, went around my house, and made me a “mom basket!” I love it! Praying for you. Ephesians 3:20; Joshua 21:45; Deuteronomy 31:8
I totally already have a mom basket! I just didn't know it's called that. Lol Also i am so bummed that you haven't been posting and won't be. But i understand life happens. Will pray for you and your family. ❤
