I swear, there's something in the Target air that makes you buy the things you never planned for! I can't believe Cade is getting so big! You and Romeo are doing a wonderful job!
I'm 55, my husband passed 3 yrs. ago. Our youngest daughter is in the Peace Corp in Colombia. I got my passport and got on a plane for the very first time ever, and flew by myself to see her. I'm hoping to leave the fear of life solo behind for the new year.
Yes!!! You freed yourself!! You are more than enough!! Cade and Romeo need you happy and fulfilled!! And that is what will give you joy in your work! 🎉❤🎉
Instead of resolutions, I make yearly bucket lists. I also make a 52-week gratitude/reflection list to fill out through the year called a Sunshine list. I was diagnosed with two autoimmune diseases and asthma, and had a concussion from DYIing shelves [brackets can be dangerous...watch your head]. It has been a wild year.
MaCenna you definitely have your priorities where they belong. You have a beautiful family with Romeo and Cade and your followers such as I , will look forward to any content to that you want to put out. Cade was your best project EVER!!!
Been enjoying vlogmas 2024. Thank you. Merry Christmas. I revisited your vlogmas 2022 playlist recently and died laughing when your mom saw how you added (chunks of) tinsel to the tree. Hehe
Girl!! Exactly agree with you in your perspective in how our body just did that and went back to normal!!! It’s a crazy thing women can do!!! And that’s strength we have is different from what everyone and men think strength is, I’m not dissing men, I’m just talking about what we go thru is way beyond a normal strength and sometimes also that we are taken for granted how we just bounce back like everything back to normal but really we have needs that sometimes aren’t verbal but not everyone around would see or understand.
No diss because men are the yin to our yang. Lock & key =humanity Families are formed lots of ways I wished I’d started earlier but I got twins so I’m beyond thankful. After children I look at humans differently with more compassion.
@ I agree. I have two little ones now. And omgeee the experiences of pregnancy and post partum is real. And you are right that men and women need each other. Although im in this season of my life right now too that I felt like I’m having identity crisis and me and my spouse are having some intense issues in our relationship, hence sometimes we don’t understand each other needs. So hard too when we do not have support from our families. It’s basically just us working together. And I think it’s mostly me also coming from a dysfunctional family I am very challenged right now of who I’m becoming while being compassionate to my spouse and children. It’s a real deal!
My favorite memory (I actually have 2) is my mom being cancer free and my daughter coming home from the CICU❤! What I’m leaving behind is fear, going through my mom having cancer, our new born daughter having heart surgery, and my son being sick with ear infections and strep throat every month since January. I didn’t realize it until recently how much fear that put in me about life and going out in public(fearing my son would get sick again), but I’m leaving that behind this year and moving forward with gratitude and faith in better things!
What I am leaving behind in 2024 is cancer. As of today, I am cancer free and so very grateful that it has been a rough 2 years for me and my family. What I am taking into 2025 is taking the time I lost to chemo and enjoying every day to the fullest. I love that wrapping paper where did you get it from.
This year, I went on three international trips, spent amazing time with friends and family, and still my favorite memory (or proudest moment) was that I finally got sober! This is something I struggled with for 7 years, and something I never thought I’d be able to do. You may not relate personally, but Makenna you’ve always been an inspiration to me to be courageous, try new things, and go for what you want. Hoping to keep the good energy going into 2025 and let go of the fear of what others think!
You can continue the Advent calendar. Just take one of her toys and put it in the calendar you can also put in her treats she likes on other days so she will enjoys those days too!
Thank for your fun daily vlogmas videos! Can't wait for the rest! Thank you for all the work you put it! Amazing goals you set for yourself, to leave behind and take with you into the new year! ❤
I am so proud of you. Not for the great vids. Not for your great skills. Not for your taste or design choices. What makes this little old Texas Bubby proud of you is how you have put Cade first before everything. He is blessed by having both of you as parents and your priority choices. Great Job!
I enjoyed hearing your 2024 reflections. You are so in tune with what is important. Not everyone has that going on! I love hearing how much you love being a mother. That was my joy, also. Now my grandkids fill that spot. Your mom will back me up on that! Enjoy every beautiful moment. Thank you. ❤️
I never set a resolution - I set "word" that I focus on all year long. My intention for the year, or something I want to work on. For example, one year it was "Surrender" to work on taking a pause, or breathing, and not letting things bother me so much (to lessen my rage hahaha). This year it was "patience" for obvious reasons. I haven't decided on the 2025 word yet, but I find keeping it in mind throughout the year gives me something super intentional to focus on in a healing or bettering way that gives me grace to not make unrealistic goals (resolutions). Merry Christmas, MaCenna! ❤💚
Kinsley always loves when you open parcels. She thinks it for her benefit. These little opening moments are so special between you and her. You could still hide her old toys in there and her reaction would be the same level of excitement, especially if here favourite toys disappear for a few days 😅. Im So impressed you’re hand painting the deck, I’d have to use a roller. So wonderful to be young and fit.
They have that kind of plug in at Lowes and on Amazon. I got one last year that actually "spiders" out and has 3 shooting off the original cord Great for redirecting Xmas lights.
Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to you and your family. So happy you were able to finish the porch . Thank you for all the work and time you put into vlogmas. 🎄🤗🎄💓💕💞
Always love your videos! I can't wait to see the stain color!! I'm so glad you've realized how toxic that trait can be to be on work mode 24/7! It's obviously helpful on days, but it's nice to sit back and enjoy it, too! I am so excited to see your next projects!
When I was 4 I remember my foster parents gave me most of the presents they got me until then I got to open so many presents it was awesome. We'll they gave me the ones it was apropied for the age so I could play. They waited until I was old enough to open them. I think it was a great idea 💡.
Be careful with the bath toys that have the tiny holes to shoot out water. I think those 10 pieces might have them. They can get moldy with being left with water in them. You can soak them in vinegar every now and then to make sure the mold is gone. Just something to be aware of.
I found myself noticing your archway when you were talking. That is really a great addition to your room. You have done a lot this year PLUS having a baby.
It’s good you are learning to pace yourself before you burn out. I went through burnout after raising my son, caring for oncology patients, and running a home. Burned out in middle age. It was rough.
The lights for your outdoor railing don't need to be individually plugged in. Thet connect you just have to unscrew the plug on both pieces, connect them and screw the thing back together. Not sure if you'll see this or not but hopefully this helps! I have those same lights, you can connect up to 4 strands.
Yes let’s celebrate woman and all our choices and phases. Leaving behind the sorrow of losing my dad. Days are brighter. My relationship w my sister grew. Cousins stepped forward to share family love. So family & home focus with new eyes 2025.
RE: Holiday movies. I recently watched an animated holiday movie on Netflix that I think you and Romeo would enjoy called Klaus (8.2/10 on imdb, 96% on rotten tomatoes). It's about how the idea of Santa Claus began. It has a sweet message that I think you would enjoy. Happy holidays to you and your loved ones, MaCenna!
It’s so true. Sometimes you have to remove yourself from something to get a new perspective. Like house cleaning or decorating your home, work, people, even your environment, and your furniture placement. For me just a day’s outing can do it. But *removing yourself from things* that maybe have become a burden, or you’ve lost appreciation for it, is key to change. Have you ever lost something and got panicky, you look all over for it, you reflect on your steps, and nothing. But, the minute you *come to gripes with losing it* all of a sudden your brain unclogs and a ding ding ding ah ha thats where it is moment🙄or it just appears, “ right in front of your eyes.” I wonder why it is when we focus so much on something, or someone our perspective gets foggy. Is it because of reason? Someone said once “Just Be” when thoughts of “anything ” come to your forefront push them out, and don’t focus on anything! Just Be isn’t just a metaphor, for to absorb in order to receive. Just Be is without reason or an action for a matter, it’s accepting with gratitude we aren’t what we surround ourselves with, we are much more than the value we can imagine.
Home Depot has an Extension Cord (mine is Green) that has 3 places on it to plug into. My hubby has been after me for years to slow down. Like you, I have to be busy all of the time and as a result I'm exhausted and worn out. I am going to try to slow down a bit this year, cut myself some slack, and prioritize my to do list.
I don't know who is more excited about Kinsley's advent calendar. Kinsley or macenna? 😂
I Think it’s even. 🐶😊
I swear, there's something in the Target air that makes you buy the things you never planned for! I can't believe Cade is getting so big! You and Romeo are doing a wonderful job!
You can’t leave without spending a $100🤣
I'm 55, my husband passed 3 yrs. ago. Our youngest daughter is in the Peace Corp in Colombia. I got my passport and got on a plane for the very first time ever, and flew by myself to see her.
I'm hoping to leave the fear of life solo behind for the new year.
I’m sorry for your loss…getting on a plane to see your daughter was a big accomplishment. I’m confident you’re going to do great things 💜
You know, I bet your hubby was sitting up there cheering you on like mad! Good for you! I hope you continue to add adventure to your life!
Yes!!! You freed yourself!! You are more than enough!! Cade and Romeo need you happy and fulfilled!! And that is what will give you joy in your work! 🎉❤🎉
Because babies are such a learning curve and surrender
Thank you, Romeo. I’ve been waiting on jingle all the way also. Lol😂
Instead of resolutions, I make yearly bucket lists. I also make a 52-week gratitude/reflection list to fill out through the year called a Sunshine list.
I was diagnosed with two autoimmune diseases and asthma, and had a concussion from DYIing shelves [brackets can be dangerous...watch your head]. It has been a wild year.
Thank so much for vlogmas.
MaCenna you definitely have your priorities where they belong. You have a beautiful family with Romeo and Cade and your followers such as I , will look forward to any content to that you want to put out. Cade was your best project EVER!!!
Love Vlogmas! Cannot believe how quickly it goes. Thank you for sharing,
Cade for sure was your biggest and best project!!!
Been enjoying vlogmas 2024. Thank you. Merry Christmas. I revisited your vlogmas 2022 playlist recently and died laughing when your mom saw how you added (chunks of) tinsel to the tree. Hehe
Merry Christmas MaCenna, Romeo, and Kinsley. Happy first Christmas sweet Cade
Sure Macenna...u spoil us & then.......we go through withdrawals...lol.....
Loved every minute of it. ❤🌲
The Jingle All The Way bit made me smile so big. Merry Christmas. 🎄
Indeed, God created amazing works of art in us

That paper is so pretty!! Sparkly!! ❤
I think it would be adorable with 3 snowmen (instead of 2)
infront of house in your intro. You, Romeo and Cade. How sweet. Merry Christmas 🎄

They do have those extension cords! We got one from Amazon this year! 50 ft cord with a plug every 8ft!
I love you and Romeo talking about things!! Just love it!! ❤️🎄
THANK YOU for all you do! We love your videos and really look forward to them!! We wish you and your sweet family all the BEST this HOLIDAY SEASON!!
You can continue the Advent calendar. Just take one of her toys and put it in the calendar you can also put in her treats she likes on other days so she will enjoys those days too!
Hello McCenna and family !! Yessss another vlogmas. Thank you ! ❤❤❤
They make those extension cords look on amazing they have all kinds of lengths they are awesome
If you chop your shirt you can make a neck bow for Kinsley out of the excess! :)
Thanks for everyday Vlogmas..a blast❤
i loved vlogmas! always grabbed a snack or drink :) i hope you enjoyed it too! (that's what matters most!)
Thank for your fun daily vlogmas videos! Can't wait for the rest! Thank you for all the work you put it! Amazing goals you set for yourself, to leave behind and take with you into the new year! ❤

I was going to say the same thing. Keep the advent box and keep giving her a “repeat” treat.
OMG, Cade NEEEEDS that toolbox!! ♥️🥰
They have that kind of plug in at Lowes and on Amazon. I got one last year that actually "spiders" out and has 3 shooting off the original cord
Great for redirecting Xmas lights.
Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to you and your family. So happy you were able to finish the porch . Thank you for all the work and time you put into vlogmas. 🎄🤗🎄💓💕💞
add your own treats and toys for Kinsley and you can it keep going on. Merry Christmas from Canada..
I’ve seen an extension cord with multiple plug ins! It looked like a candy cane specifically for Christmas. I think it was on Amazon
Always love your videos! I can't wait to see the stain color!! I'm so glad you've realized how toxic that trait can be to be on work mode 24/7! It's obviously helpful on days, but it's nice to sit back and enjoy it, too! I am so excited to see your next projects!
They have the extension cord your looking for on Amazon
When I was 4 I remember my foster parents gave me most of the presents they got me until then I got to open so many presents it was awesome. We'll they gave me the ones it was apropied for the age so I could play. They waited until I was old enough to open them. I think it was a great idea 💡.
They do make extension cords with plug in along them. I had one for my Christmas village
Be careful with the bath toys that have the tiny holes to shoot out water. I think those 10 pieces might have them. They can get moldy with being left with water in them. You can soak them in vinegar every now and then to make sure the mold is gone. Just something to be aware of.
McCenna. We also need an extension cord with a built in timer that would be a game changer for Christmas decorations
Love it done in black and white when you did your porch
Love you guys more more more
They do have extension leads with outlets at intervals
Like the sparkly paper 💯🥰
You need to source landscape wiring. You determine where the plugs are located along the length of the cord.
Amazon has those extension cords for Christmas lights ! I have it for my spot lights on my wreath 😊
I found myself noticing your archway when you were talking. That is really a great addition to your room. You have done a lot this year PLUS having a baby.
I've thoroughly enjoyed Vogmas! Thank you so much!
It’s good you are learning to pace yourself before you burn out. I went through burnout after raising my son, caring for oncology patients, and running a home. Burned out in middle age. It was rough.
I always ysed a lomg handle to paint porch floors. I'm old & knees don't like being on floors.
You did such a nice job.
17:44 “He can help me!” 😅 soon Caleb will have his own tool bench 😅 that was perfect!!
I bought the type of extension cord you were talking about on Amazon a few years ago. It was called a landscape/patio cord with three outlets.
If the shirt is oversized, you can always take off some fabric and make a little matching set for Kinsley.
MaCenna they do have that extension cord. I use it for my tree every year. There are plugs through the whole cord.
They do make extension cords like you described. I have one. Check the Christmas section.
Happy seeing you again...love video ❤
I got that exact same set and bought it the first day it came out! 😂 I didn’t want to miss out lol
That toolbox!! 👍🏻🎄
Love your videos!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤Amazon has extension cords with plugs every few feet.
Definitely going to miss vlogmas ❤️❤️❤️
I love " Miracle on 34th Street"
MaCenna your vlogmas are funny and cute with baby Cade and kinsley, thank you

That extension cord with more plug ins is a great idea. Quick file a patent for your idea. 🎉

Thank you for Vlogmas MaCenna !❤💚❤💚 I think you should invent the multiple plug extension cord!!!!!!!! YOU CAN DO IT

Oh, that would be so nice for there to be multiple receptacles on one extension cord…….

Two thin ribbons side by side with a small gap between then the bow would be pretty 😊
I would just empty out the whole Advent calendar and refill it with toys, tiny toys,big toys every one of them. Forget the treats LOL
I love...the toy aisle, always will❤
Fav memory of the year - my daughter got married. The joy of that day will stay with me forever. I'd like to leave behind - tbd! Merry Christmas 🎁
Thank you Guys, for the 12 days of vlogmas and the continuation of your regular programming. This was a great video as always! ✌️🙂🎄💙
Home Depot has an Extension Cord (mine is Green) that has 3 places on it to plug into. My hubby has been after me for years to slow down.

finally jingle all the way lol.
I loved when my kids were babies. I would let them pick out their presents and hide them, cause they'd forget. 😂 It was awesome....
Vlogmas was so fun 👏🎉🎄😊🎁
It appears that your dream extension cord exists! ❤
nobody talks about the ebook Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki, but it’ll flip how you see everything
I already miss you.
Kinsley is adorable. What breed is she??? So sweet!
There is N extension cord with multiple outlets along the cord.
Next year you need to.ake her an advent calendar with toys and treats she loves
You can put the toys back in the same box and reopen them.😊😊😊
Yes there is a new book in the Hawthorne series. Spoiler alert, it's the first book in a new adventure/deadly game.
The extension cord you could invent the new idea
Was there a reason you didn’t roll on the deck stain? Seems like it would have been so much quicker.
It's not your table or dog. If your so upset, please don't watch. But, please stop the negative comments and just enjoy the vlog.
I stay awake for these vlogs ❤... It's 1am here
Almost midnight here 🇳🇱
Here too 🇩🇪
trusting this over the ebook Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki? no wonder the same cycles keep happening
