    Great video! So enjoyed learning about the Amazon book selling opportunity. I've often wondered how it work when I would see people scanning books at the thrift store. Thanks for the info Janine. Also, wanted to let you know that I think your little boy is just the sweetest and cutest guy ever! I really enjoy watching him and his wonderment. He is growing up so fast too! You folks are really good parents. Especially you Janine. You can see that you spend a lot of time with him. He has great communication skills, is curious and filled with love ! Kudos to you Mama! Also, I was amazed at Niagra Falls! I've never been there and was just taken aback by how beautiful they were. Especially at night. Thank you for sharing your family adventures with us! Take care!

    • @theMennoniteMom
      @theMennoniteMom  4 роки тому

      thank you kindly! (: My husband probably spends more intentional time with Xander than I do, as he comes homes and intentionally plays as I tend to interact with him as I work. Trying to work on that. Yes, NIagra is beautiful, hope you can go sometime!

    So happy that Cletus made it to the Falls. It has been a loooong time since I was there, but being originally from Erie, PA, we used to go to the Falls once a year, up through Buffalo and across the Peace Bridge into Canada. So glad to see that the water is still falling over the cliffs. Maybe when Xander gets a little older, he might enjoy taking Cletus on The Journey Behind the Falls. Have you or Nolan ever been on that attraction? An elevator takes you down 150 feet or so and observation decks give you a view of the Falls from behind and looking up, not down, at the water rushing in front of you. Prepare to get soaking wet!

    • @theMennoniteMom
      @theMennoniteMom  4 роки тому +1

      You crack me up! "So happy Cletus made it to the Falls' 🤣 Yes, he was hugged and loved and sometimes forgotten. Ha ha. No we haven't done that, but it sounds so fun! That's very interesting that you used to go there every year! That has many special memories I'm sure!

    I had no idea this was a thing with the books. This gets my interest. I love thrifting and going to resale stores. My Hubby is from PA and our daughter still lives there. Lancaster is beautiful country and love visiting. There are lot's of beautiful areas in PA. outside the cities.
    Bubba, is so adorable and always has a smile on his face, laughing, and taking everything around him in and enjoying himself. He is a hoot and always brings me joy! Love your hat with the flower. Did you make it?
    I am not Mennonite, but I wear head coverings like yours and everyone thinks I am mennonite here in the deep south. I find it a compliment. You and I have a lot in common, the way you live, do things and think. I feel like I have always known you. Love your knew channel name.
    As long as you end with "bless your heart" About anybody/anything, all will be well..LOL. Be Blessed!

      LOL, thank you! I'm glad you are a kindred spirit! Sometimes I feel a bit like a duck out of water with those around me. ( a bit odd) (: Anyway, my mom made that. She loves crocheting and I just quickly dug it out before we left. Yes, you should look into thrifting books! People rarely check book values (books are perceived as worthless by the general public) so it's much easier to find deals in the book niche than other niches. Simply because, who wants to look up all the books that come into a thrift store? Just put one price on all of them. (:

    What an interesting idea; reselling books on Amazon. I have a ton of books that I actually need to divest this house of, so maybe that would be a good idea. I’ll look into it. I loved going on a little of your Niagara Falls trip. Xander is so adorable. Our son is currently at University studying animation. He’s home for the holidays so I showed him your animation clip. He just giggled and then shut the iPad and said, “No, mom. Just...no.” You’re a kind person to just accept it and move along. God will no doubt, bless you and the animator. Merry Christmas!

      In Grmany also. I bring stuff there and buy more as I got rid of, mostly tableclothes I want to sew with. A friend of my mom lives by selling old books, but that must be a time consuming job.

I got so tickled at Zander's remark about the wind mill needing oil. He is getting so talkative and forming sentences now. It is just amazing how a few months makes such a big difference. Have a Blessed day and by the way, I love the title of your new channel.
