I agree... a full pantry is a blessing that I never want to take for granted.
Amen!❤️
So happy to see you today, my best friend went home to the Lord on Saturday. We loved to go to Hobby Lobby, home goods etc and redecorate. Thank you for encouraging motivation and your love of the Lord 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
Oh I’m so sorry to hear that. I am happy she is with the Lord, even though you miss her down here.❤️
I love your binder and how organized you are!! I'm old school pen and paper too!
Yay!!! The best thing ever is to wake up to another great video! Hope you have a blessed day! ❤
Thank you friend! Hope your day has been blessed as well!🥰
Arika I enjoy your videos so much
I'm absolutely a pen and paper kind of person too!
Me too
First, you look so pretty in your dress! Love how all the things you bought worked into your decor…especially the greenery! Sorry, about the broom…you two have a special bond 😉. Oh my heart when you were snuggling with your sweet boy, Clyde. We lost our sweet boy, Houdini, on Saturday. He wasn’t an outside cat, but got out. We think another animal got him. Our neighbor found him. He was my daughter, Julia’s, cat. She had him since she was six. She is heartbroken. Please keep her in your prayers. She was away at college only three days when this happened. We drove up to tell her. 😞. Sorry to be a downer, but I know you understand how pets are part of the family. As moms it just crushes us to see our kids hurt. ❤️❤️. Take care and thank you for taking my mind off the sadness for a bit. ❤️❤️
Oh my word. I am so so sorry about your sweet Houdini. That is heartbreaking. I totally would have driven to tell my daughter too. We definitely hurt when they do. 💔
I’ve always admired your decor and style 🌻. I’m definitely a “pen and paper” gal too 😂. So sweet when the pets come to you for some cuddles 😍
Thank you so much!🥰
I used to love when our 3 sons were home for summer vacation. Send us some rain to California. lol. Loved your hauls!
I love how you are a humble soul really enjoyed watching this vlog
Good morning Arika and Marion and family and thank you for sharing your beautiful home
I really enjoyed the longer video but I wouldn't expect you to do them all the time. I usually save your uploads for the weekend, they are so relaxing to watch. This weekend has been a treat! Thank you for sharing as always. Clyde snuggling up for shoulder hugs was adorable 😻
You are such an amazing blessing to all of your subs. I love your change because it's real homemade living . Love your whole family . You are a huge believer in our Heavenly Father, as I am too. Love the verses at the end. They enlighten me. I hope to have u in the u-tube world for along time. Love love everything about you. Thank you so much for all the hard work you put into your channel.
Oh thank you for your encouraging words. They mean more than you know! So happy you enjoy my channel.🥰❤️

Thank you so much for sharing great ideas and being down to earth. Love your videos because you have a home that looks comfy and inviting. I love to do all the party planning things too. I miss when my children were younger and I got to do more of it.
I love your rain videos 💘

Loved this long video! You kept me company as I was completing some of my own chores! Thanks ;) And I think I love Clyde!
I love all your new decor , so fun . Love all the wood touches. You need a basket tray on your table I love the look of wicker baskets .
I loved the longer vlog...I keep a notebook also..I would be lost without it!
I hope you have a wonderful week🌞
I enjoy your videos. Your have a wonderful family. I use a lot of you of your receipts . Thank you!!!
Loved the long vlog!
Loved this video. Very motivating. Thank you.
Yep had three boys and one later. They love the door frames. Great video, you worked today. Love all your things you brought and decorated with. I am like you last year I decorated for fall early. This year I am waiting. Have done it with the dish washier and always on a busy day. Peace!
Love this video. Thanks for sharing ❤️
Stay safe and healthy 😷
Really enjoyed this video of your day....you are a great worker and I know you love your family and your home life...I'm off to make some burritos for lunch....they looked so good!!! 🌮🌮🌮🧋🥤❤🥰
Your videos are always so helpful and encouraging and fun to watch! This summer has been so nice and has gone by way too fast!! I’m sad to see it go too!! I really like the notebook you keep with your plans and lists!! I love that!! I am also a list person and I’m also a huge fan of paper and a pen! Thank you for sharing your weekend! Take care!!❤️🙏
This is a “post” comment after watching this massive video vlog that I absolutely loved!!! While watching I realized we do so many things alike! I will send you pics, so funny! Thanks again for this great vlog!👍🏻🐶🐶💕🙏🏻
LOL! We definitely have a lot of similarities, I’m not surprised!🤣
Hi Arika!
I really enjoyed your long video. So motivating and just plain fun to watch. This is funny--you used to live in TX and now live in VA. I was born in northern VA and lived there til I got married. Then we moved to the Houston area and have been here longer than I was n VA. We still miss VA. It is still scorchingly hot here. Thanks for all your hard work to make uplifting, encouraging videos. And most of all for pointing people to Jesus. Praying for you and your family.
That is so funny!! I’ll always be a Texas girl at heart. But I do love living up here! I’m sure I’ll never move back.🥰 But I would loooove to visit! Haven’t been to Texas since 2008!
Love the shelves in the kitchen 😁
I really enjoyed this vlog! I love your Household binder, I'm going to make one, too! I have similar, individual binders, but having just one, with everything in one place is such a great idea! I especially need to do better with my UA-cam planning/posting/ ideas etc.
I love hanging out with you, I enjoyed every minute.You certainly worked hard an accomplished a lot.Thanks for sharing your such a sweet person.♥️Barb
Thank you SO much for sharing your household manual!! This is such a great guide (I even made a list of notes for making mine 😉). I appreciate you and your videos! Please keep them coming.
That’s awesome! You will love how organized you feel!😀👏🏻❤️
Thanks for showing the manual. I’m a pen and paper person too. Love notebooks! Thanks for the video.
You’re welcome!😀❤️
Hi Arika,
Getting ready for fall makes me so happy, love watching the "get ready for fall" videos. It's the time of year that makes me reflect on the past year and be thankful to God, & appreciate everything we have. This starts the time of year for family togetherness and the holidays.💝 A warm and fuzzy time of the year.
Agreed! I always miss summer but fall and winter and both so amazing!🥰
Our first year of not having to do school shopping was an eye opener😂😂. I love that you put the mind your biscuits sign front and center in your hutch. 😂😂. It’s perfect! I’m also a paper/pen grocery shopper even if it’s online. Old fashioned I guess🤷🏼♀️
Arika,you are right..it means a lot to have a full pantry. We may not have everything we want,(or we think we want), but we have everything we need. I don't like breaking in a new broom either.lol I hope you have a wonderful week.
Its funny how we cater to our pets because we love them so much. They are family after all. I couldn't help but laugh when I saw that mountain of paper. Lol. Been there.
Loved every minute of this vlog. Tfs xxx
Yay! Thanks so much for watching!🥰
Love these long videos!
So glad! This one was definitely a long one!😀
You are simply my favourite UA-camr to watch!!
You’re always so sweet! Thank you for always watching!🥰
Ha! The last week of August is my favorite! Because summer is on its way out! When our daughter was in second grade her best friend (who is still at 26!), my husband wanted to take them to the zoo. They didn’t want to go. Later that afternoon I called him outside. The girls were in the backyard on a blanket, playing zoo with all sorts of stuffed animals!
Thank u for sharing ur book of different things. I had been wanting to do something like that but didn't know what to put in it.
You’re welcome! So glad it gave you some ideas!😀
I love the household manual!! I’m gonna make one now!
It’s such a lifesaver for me! I love organization, and my home runs so much smoother this way!😀
Wow! I love the rain. I live in Los Angeles....what I would not give for a good down pour!!🌧️🌧️🌧️🌧️🌧️🌧️🌧️
Praying you all get some refreshing rains!🙏🏻❤️
I just LOVE your videos! You are my favorite youtuber, I never ever pass over any of your videos like I do occasionally with some others. You are so likable and I’m always interested in everything you share. I share your faith and your point of view on things and feel as if you are a friend. God bless you and your beautiful family! ❤️
Thank you so much!🥰❤️
Love your videos so much. The scriptures mean so much to me. Appreciate you praying for us too. I need extra this week. Been battling pneumonia and tested for Covid yesterday. Results tmrw. I hope you and fam have a wonderful week.
Oh no! Praying you feel better quickly and it’s negative for Covid.🙏🏻❤️
School uniforms etc are frightfully exspensive. However for the next few years I only have my daughter to pay for.
I have my Christmas list on my phone but others I prefer to use a planner.
Clyde's cuddles are adorable. He reminds me of my tuxedo Monty 🥰
Tfs & take care 🌺
I cant believe she is moving out. I've been watching these girls grow up now one us married one moving out. So crazy. But never get sad because they move out and multiply! LoL sending Blessings
Hahaha, yes I sure hope so! It’s just a new stage! Can’t wait for the grand babies!🥰
Yay more videos
I don’t feel too bad. I just love your videos.
Girl! I got so much motivation to clean with your video. Woke up not wanting to do anything. Hehehe! By the time your video ended so did my cleaning. Feel good now though thanks to you i have a clean house 😂
That dress look so good on you. You lost alot of weight. Looking awesome Amiga!
Love to watch your videos!!! 🙏💕😘🇨🇾
Hiya Arika, good morning. Back to school already for Jaxon. It's bananas how pricey shoes are. When my boys were growing up, I shopped @ Value City for shoes. We go to Shoe Carnival now. We hit it when it's BOGO half off. Having a puppy that's a Husky/Inu that turned one, still enjoys chewing here. We keep our shoes behind the door. She is sneaky. She'll grab just one of my flip flops that are Clarks & hide it when I walk away. Lol I'm on my third pair this year. I really love my Clarks. Uber cozy with memory foam. Arika I always smile when you speak of Jaxon. Saying he's on the cart being a boy and he's never full either. Hahaha Our sons still act like that @ 30 & 25, we embrace it. Our boys were eaters too as well as their friends. I always packed for them. They chose it, plus you get way more food from home than school. He's really growing, no more uncrustables, What?! Taste changes. Lol I wanna go get that chicken you've been buying. I love when you share. Tonight is our Rossi cook off. Our app is Fredo Fries. I bought spoons to hand out as a trophy. There is 4 teams. Sprayed them in Gold, Silver & bronze. Last spoon will read( Dead Last). Lol!!! I love details. I also made some fun gift baskets.
Lol, sounds like so much fun!! You’re such a great boy mom!🥰
Perfect video to wake up to♡♡♡ from NY
Arika, our pets are almost like our children. Clyde is so sweet. I also loved the decorating, it looks great. You are a good decorator. Go with your instinct and don’t worry about it. Take care and we all seem to be getting more rain than we know what to do with. Let’s all pray for those poor people in middle Tennessee. Take care and don’t ever think you make any of us feel bad about anything. YOU DON’T.
🥰❤️Thank you for always being so kind in your comments.
I really enjoy the summer time to because I love having my daughter home I love it so much! But I know going back to school if so good for her and being and routine.
I think it's important to always remember to count our blessings each and every day. I watch different UA-cam videos and the general population has so very much- food, clothing, decor items ( for all seasons ) even most pets have an abundance in food supplies, etc...Ohhh so much, Count the blessings my friends!
My husband, 62 had a massive stroke in March of this year. His left side is completely dysfunctional and he resides sadly in a nursing facility. Oh how life has changed, in the twinkling of an eye....
I say Thank you, Lord, for Loving me through this valley of storms that have come my way. Let me always say Thank you, for your Grace and Direction.
Blessings to all!
Oh wow, I am so sorry to hear that. I can’t imagine how your life must have changed. So thankful for a God who walks beside us and never leaves us.❤️
HI there. If it helps you at all when you are shpping for tuna, when it comes to Tuna, most is wild caught. Look also for these items on the label. The easiest thing is to look for "pole-and-line caught" or "troll caught" on the label. This means the tuna was caught one fish at a time, not swept up en masse with other marine life. I also only buy what is line/pole or wild caught so in case that helps you in your shopping. If you can find it at Sams, Safe Catch Tuna is amazing and is mercury tested for the lowest content. I am also picky about what is in the water, if there is soy in the broth or anything forget it.
I hear you! My son is 12 & is also never full. Always hungry. I feel like I can’t ever feed him enough. Growing boy.
Love the video motivation. God's favor and grace to you and your family
Thank you for this long nice video :) You was amazing to get the stuff organized :D impressive heap og bags after the shoppingtrip. im like you, even if my guests could not care if i bought cakes and cookies,for me its so fun and also very fulfilling to bake my own:)
I plan to start stock up my pantry. we often just get what we need for the week,i want to change that :) Have a lovely day xx
I loved the vlogs
Just wanted to tell you how impressed I am with you. Not just everything that you do, but you have the sweetest soul.
I very much agree with you! She has a soothing voice and just precious..
Thank you so much! That’s so sweet of you to say.🥰❤️
Love the long videos Arika. I’m a pen and paper person too, I have notes everywhere. I do online shopping here in the Uk from Asda and it’s quite hit and miss as to what groceries I get, I have opted out of substitutes as they can be quite ridiculous as to what they send instead.
The family manual is a great idea. Though putting your bills on autopay those that you can, electric, gas, mortgage, water, trash, loan payments, anything that you can helps to not have to worry about paying these itesm. it takes the worry out of bill paying and you still get the bills in the mail or ebills whichever you prefer if you need to dispute any charges.
Yes we have a lot on auto pay as well. It definitely makes it easier!😀
I like your aqua planter up on the hutch. Your cat 🐱 is so sweet. Your doggies 🐕 🐕 are so sweet also.
I'm a pen and paper person too. Working on a section today of essential oils.
Enjoyed your video. God bless xx
Hi arika really enjoyed the longer vlog your dress was so nice on you loved the colour and pattern take care and god bless to you and your family arika xx
Thank you so much!🥰❤️
Just thought I’d let you know, I have to stay in this bubble bath for 1:07 minutes!🤪 Lol, I’m not hating that, I love these kind of videos and really love the long ones!! Can’t believe it’s already the last week of August!! This month flew by, but I’m so ready for Fall so I’m happy! TFS! My love tho the family and of course, lots of tummy scritches for the fur babies!👍🏻🐶🐶💕🙏🏻
LOL, at least it was a nice long break! Glad you enjoyed it!❤️🥰
I have a black cat my kids got at our local. Burger King restaurant last August. He was a kitten then. He has been here 1 full year and he is litterally the sweetest male feral cat I have ever had. He rubs my face when he is hungry and he just stares at me with his beautiful yellow eyes. I love my cats.
SO sweet!!🥰My sweet Clyde is like that. He’s so precious!❤️
I love your videos...its just like a visit!
Girl, I love your channel! I could watch you everyday! You just need to give me some of that energy. Lol. I fixed Taco Spaghetti! It was so good! I also, need a manual! I think it would be good for me. I am a visual person. Hope you have a wonderful week! 😁. Look forward to your Bible verse every time. 🙏
Thank you so much! You will love a household manual! Don’t know what I’d do without mine!😀
Arika hey, happy belated birthday 🎂🎁🎉 I have a little something I’m sending your way, so sorry I couldn’t get it in the mail sooner, my husband had surgery last week so it’s been busy 🤪 Love all the new decor! Tristan says to tell Jaxon hi 👋😁 Hope your birthday was a wonderful day, love to you all!
Oh my goodness you’re so sweet! Thank you! I’ll be looking for it. And I tell Jaxon hi!😀👋🏻
I love the long videos ! I like your long, beautiful hair is so beautiful !!
Aw thank you so much!🥰❤️
❤️❤️❤️
Hello Arika, really have to say I enjoyed this long vlog!! You have lost so much weight you look amazing the dress looks very nice on you!!🤗🍁🍂
Love your video
I am simply loving your vids - you make great vlogs! xo Vicky
Thank you so much! I’m so glad you are enjoying them! 🥰
My kiddos are 25 & 20, and their birthdays are 5 days apart. Every year we would have a cookout with anything they wanted, and some years it was exhausting, lol. Last year we didn’t do anything, because Covid. Now, my son is married and my daughter just wasn’t interested, and I miss it soooo much!!
Aw I’m sorry. I hope you can have another one soon. Cookouts are always so much fun.
I enjoyed the longer vlog! It seems like Walmart stores around the country are lacking stock. I was always sad when my daughter had to return to school. She’s now a mother and I’m certain she feels the same!
Your just like me I love my home and decorating
Maybe you can find wicker baskets that fit the bathroom shelves to hide the stuff you don’t want to see? Thank you for giving me motivation to clean today! 😊 just FYI, Big lots has ice drinks .79! My son likes these too. I’m with you on the broom! I just bought a new one last year and it’s so stiff it makes it harder to sweep!! Goin back to my old one. I am so tempted by you tubers to get my fall decor out too, but my rule is Sept 1st. God bless!
I found the drinks at Big Lots so I’ll stock up next time I go! 😀
I’m with you about the fall decor. I just cannot decorate in August. I will get sick of it after a while. Gotta wait till September too!
I agree! My 13 yr old son is the same way! Lol
❤
Love you videos 🇧🇷
That dress looks so nice on you as well as the one you wore shopping with Madison. I’m wondering if limiting sugar has aided in your weight loss or if it was easy? I really enjoyed this longer vlog. I guess I need to make a visit to Trader Joe’s.
Thank you so much! I plan to talk about it in an upcoming video. But yes cutting out sugar has helped tremendously!
I love watching your videos. You are so authentic and sweet and I love that about you.
Thank you so much!🥰
Right now, your notebook is looking pretty good. My computer died last weekend. Fortunately, I had backed up everything to the passport five days earlier. Even so, I lost the work I had done on a manuscript during those five days. I've pretty well managed to recreate it, but those old IBM Correcting Selectric typewriters are holding a lot of appeal for me these days. LOL. New computer due to arrive today. Note to Self: BACK UP! BACK UP! BACKUP!
Oh goodness! I’ve been there too! It’s so frustrating! Hope you enjoy your new one!😀
When you said you spelled “manual” wrong…I knew you were my people! 😆❤️
Those fruit snacks you got from Sam's are Justin's absolute favorite. He's a fruit snack guy lol. He says nothing compares to those but Sam's is an hour away from us so he rarely gets them.
Jaxon is obsessed with them!😀
