Ahh! So exciting!! I snagged this awesome promo! Thanks Andrea!!
Plant clematis on the arch trellis. So many different options from which to choose!❤
Thank you for the suggestion!
Oh man enjoy these years with your boys. As a mom of three boys I remember these days…My last little boy just graduated from high school a couple weeks ago. The days are long, but the years are short.
This was the sweetest video yet. Made me cry thinking about how my own children are growing up too fast..
Thank you so much ❤
I have 3 boys and a daughter. I loved to just sit and listen to them when they were little. Now with 5 (#6 on the way) grandchildren I get to experience that again. They were so sweet and funny. The song Don't Blink by Kenny Chesney says it all. Your time is the greatest gift you can give a child. I always loved Clematis and Morning glory as climbers in my garden. They are easy to care for an have a lot of blooms. You just need to maintain them because they do love to spread as well as climb. Stay cool and have a wonderful week ahead.
What a beautiful life Andrea . Your boys are truly precious. Little Isaiah looks like your husband but has your coloring.
Your house is so warm and welcoming just like you, it reflects your personality. I have lots of hydrangeas in my yard and they are just covered this year with flowers. It looks like yours are going to give you many flowers. I’m a Nana with three grandsons ….I can’t believe how time flies . It feels like yesterday my children were little. Soak up every moment Andrea because it goes by so fast. Blessings
Honeysuckle plants were always our FAVORITE to grow on our TRELLIS!!!💐
They’re very hardy, pretty & smells beautiful!!! Children love them too!!!
Enjoy yourself with your family!!🤍🤍🤍
Thank you!
Clematis is a lovely climber for ur arbor 😊
Thank you for the suggestion!!
Andrea, this was probably one of my favorite videos you’ve ever shared! I found your channel a couple of years ago and you are one of my favorite YT’ers! I love your sweet heart, your sweet boys and your sweet family! You have the kindest heart and your love for the Lord and homemaking are so inspiring to me. I have an 18 and 20 year old and they will be a freshman and Sophomore in college this year so I couldn’t help but have tears in my eyes about how fast the years go by. That is so very true. Enjoy those sweet boys and your precious time with them. Thank you for sharing a small piece of your life with us here on YT. You are more impactful than you may ever know 🩷
I miss the sound of little ones talking, playing. and laughing. ❤❤Enjoy every moment!!
Yes, trying to soak it all in!
I always felt the same as you about what it will be like when our kids are grown. My mom always told me that it is a gradual thing and it won’t be as hard as thinking about it now. They’ll be having all of their friends over and little by little going places with them without you. Once they’re completely grown you’ll have your grandchildren to start the process over and you’ll have those experiences again through them! I do wish I could remember vividly what my girls were like when they were really little, but my grandchildren give me a glimpse of that. I love your channel!
Andrea - An lovely, lovely day. Morning Glories would look beautiful on your arbor. Thank you for sharing this beautiful family day. Blessings - Judith 🎭🎤
Thank you for the suggestion Judith!
A wonderful video of a special family. Having children is a great blessing. They do grow so fast and while it can seem long at times in the thick of it, it is only a season of life that they are with you. You are a great momma to those boys!
Thank you so much! They do grow up too fast!
Andrea you are a wonderful mother and homemaker !! I am now 74 and gosh I wish time didn't go so darn fast !!! I can relate sooo much . My sister and have often have said that we wish we hadn't worried so much about a clean house. Your boys are precious and love hearing your little ones voice !! I love leftovers too ! Blessings to you and your family !!❤❤
I just washed my slipcovers also, and hate the job, but like the results. My chairs are a grey/blue, which is great for not showing the dirt. I can't even imagine white slipcovers with four boys. 🙂 Your sons are wonderful...they are all boy, but also learning to be gentlemen. There is something about Isaiah that is extra special. He is so full of wonder and exudes joy. I think God has a special calling for him and I hope one day I get to find out what it is.
Oh my goodness, thank you for your sweet words! I do agree that Isaiah is a very special boy ❤
Absolutely nothing more precious than a baby babbling. 💜💜💜
Totally agree!!
I don’t know if anyone else has suggested this for your arbor, but climbing hydrangeas are very pretty and very hardy for the type of winter you get. We have a picket fence with an arched arbor leading to our backyard that my husband built and we have white climbing roses on one side and climbing hydrangeas on the other side of the arbor. We live in western NY and depending on the winter, the roses really suffer but the hydrangea grows like a champ and has pretty flowers also😊
You and your family are such a blessing to watch 💛💛💛💛💛💛
Thank you for your sweet words!
Jasmine the scent B is beautiful forbthe archway
Thank you so much!
Thank you for keeping it real. Yes, the days go quickly. My youngest now has two boys! Blessings keep coming because we had a relationship when they were young first.
I always look forward to your videos. You have such a beautiful family and home. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much! ❤
White climbing roses,... on both sides of the arbor. I have them on my arbor and they are beautiful!
My mother used to say the same thing to me. I am also not able to relax, I always wanted the house clean and beautiful, but it's true the house will always be there. My children are all grown with their own children now, I miss those early days as a young mom so very much! My grandkids are so fun and here all the time but it's not the same as when my kiddos were young. Your home, family and life are all beautiful. You are so blessed! I always have clematis on my arbor, they're so pretty! Thank you for sharing your precious day! ❤
I can’t believe Ethan is 11. Time is flying by. All your boys are adorable . I loved the little conversation between your sons and you. ❤❤❤
Your boys are absolutely precious! I am a boy mom and I loved the noise my house would have. Savor every moment!
Andrea, You are delightful, I enjoy your channel very much and your family is precious! In this crazy world it’s so wonderful to see a beautiful young woman and her husband enjoy the family life that you two have built together. Thanks so much for sharing!
Yes , I love listening also when my 10 year old son has over a couple of his friends that are brothers and they have dinner with us . As my son is the only child we have left in the house , it brings me joy to hear them talking and laughing about their conversations.
It does seem like long days when youre in the throws of it & havent had adult conversation in days BUT it goes by all too fast. This got me a little teary as i reminisced because my blonde haired, blue eyed "little boy" is now 22 & on his own now but I remember having conversations with him like this as if it were yesterday. 😂 I was holding it together til u quoted your mom. Her words resonate with me to the core! So true!!!! grab all the hugs & kisses u can now & cherish these moments. 💕
Time is a thief! Trying to soak it all in!
This was such a relaxing and uplifting video, Andrea. My children are grown and my home is quiet. I definitely miss the days of having little ones. Perhaps Clematis would be a nice, vining, flower because the blooms are large, come is all colors as well as white, and grow quite quickly once they have rooted. They are also easy to maintain with their thin, delicate, vines that can be cut back each year if you want them more controlled or you can just let them go. Wisteria are gorgeous and another possibility, but I don't know about their growth or the maintenance. -Angela
Thank you for the suggestion! It seems a lot of people are suggesting clematis!
I absolutely love wisteria but in a blink of an eye can get out of control clematis would be so easy or maybe one of the new varieties of honeysuckle or jasmine even . Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful family with us 🤗💓💕💞
Not having kids of my own, it was so fun to hear your little one. I'm so glad you left that part in.
Oh, Andrea this video was so lovely! Thank you, it was as if I was sitting there with you with my cup of coffee, enjoying my morning.
Thank you for your kind words!
Cecil bruner rose would be perfect for your garden arch! It is super hardy, good for your garden zone, a perennial, very pretty, and smells so lovely!
This video was wonderful. I always told our daughters; "stop growing so fast!", and now I make that same statement to our grandchildren. In the blink of a blessed moment, they are all growing way too fast.
Thank you so much ❤
My boys are grown now and I miss those tiny precious moments when they were little. I'm looking forward to maybe having a grandbaby some day. The time passes so fast. Have a beautiful day, your videos are so very sweet. Thank you for sharing your life. God bless you and your family ❤
It truly does! Thank you for the kind words!
Yes they grow up to fast and it is so hard to believe how fast it is. Take the time to enjoy them. My husband passed at a young age so I have been alone for a long time since my boys are married and I long for the days they were young.
I'm so sorry to hear that. We truly have to soak in every moment!
Oh how exciting for you to soon have an eleven year old son! Eleven is the golden hour of boyhood! When my twin sons who turn 40 in July, were eleven, it was the most special year of their boyhood for me! Ever since, I’ve noticed other boys that age and they’re all magnificent! Enjoy your eleven year old! ❤️👏🏻😊🙏🏻👍🏻
You are so right they do grow up quickly. My son turned 16, and I cried, thinking he would be 18 in just two years. Looking back and remembering the fond memories. Then, knowing of others boys are men one 21 and 18 they moved out of states so I don't see them as often as I would like. Then I have four more at home. They all went to church camp for days, and I told my husband it's too quiet when the kids are not here. Knowing they are teens and adult hood is coming, making me sad and excited for them. So enjoy them in every stage ,because once it passes passes all you will have are precious memories. They are truly God's most precious gifts.
Yes, I'm trying to soak it all in!
I love your video’s they are always so sweet. I bet Isaiah had a wonderful date night with his beautiful momma. I remember those days fondly. Now I am an Oma to 8 and love every second with them, but they too are growing so fast. As far as what to put over the trellis! I have 6 Eden roses in my gardens and I think they are the most beautiful rose ever and I believe they are pretty hardy. ❤️
Thank you for the suggestions and your sweet words! ❤
Everything is beautiful in your home including the people. One can tell this is a Christ centered home. 💞 I love roses and/or clematis on arbors.
Thank you so much for your kind words and suggestions!
Such a sweet video, Andrea! You will enjoy your boys and their future families coming home for gatherings often, I am so sure! You have such a tranquil lovely home and property and family…I have 5 sisters and no brothers so…4 boys is amazing too!!!!
Thank you so much! Wow, so many girls! haha
Don’t say you are going to keep your expectations low…..but rather realistic. Love your videos and your four boys are precious
Oh very true!! Great point 😊
Morning glories are beautiful climbing flowers, they would look beautiful on your arch and compliment the purple you have in your garden already!
What a lovely video Andrea! Your home is so cozy, peaceful, your family so precious and I love your garden! I feel happy when I watch your videos, I enjoyed every moments with my son and daugther, now 24 and 22. This is the most special time in their lives. Thank you for sharing these beautiful moments!
Thank you very much! 😊
I loved this video. I have always said my absolute favorite thing was listening to my boys talking and laughing with each other! And now that my sons are 34 & 36 and have families of their own, I STILL love listening to them😊
Aw the conversations change over time but they are still sweet! ❤
Climbing honeysuckle is very full and smells wonderful.
Oh my goodness the boys are so precious!
Thank you so much!
This video was so delightful! I miss having small children…It’s so good that you are focusing on these moments with your children and husband! Thank you for sharing! ☺️
Thank you!
Andrea,
I can relate, we have white Ikea couches and chairs and the slip covers aren't fun. I've found replacement ones on Amazon and they are roomier. Enjoy your kids for sure, mine are a little order than yours and you realize how quickly they grow and the years fly by! Blessings to you all.
Do you mean damp or wet...silpcovers... mine are always slightly damp...😊
I was living in Terrace BC at one time and started making bread (successfully). Then moved to Victoria BC and my bread making wasn't working. Then realized I'd had a change of focus and was trying to make whole grain bread whereas I had been making white before. It's an adjustment to do whole grain. It's been forever since have made bread.
I always love your videos Andrea! Such a good reminder that when our children are grown and gone, the house will be constantly quiet and to cherish each moment with them until then!
Thank you so much for your sweet words! ❤
I had to work outside of the home while raising three boys. The time went by so quickly, and my greatest regret is not being in the moment more than I was. I missed way too much of that time, and sadly, there are no do overs. You are so blessed to be there for them and keeping God in the midst of your family. Thank you for sharing with us! ❤
I certainly am blessed!
Thank you for the important and sweet reminder about the quiet house and cherishing these fleeting moments with our littles.
Those expectations will mess you up throughout life .❤
They certainly will!
crying so hard right now watching this sweetness. my kids are the same ages as yours. except i have 3 boys and 1 girl. your youngest reminds me of my youngest even the same bright blonde hair! love your videos :)
Aww love the little blondies!! Thank you for your sweet words! ❤
Andrea you had me in tears missing my little boys so much one of them is turning 32 in a couple of days my baby and my oldest baby is 36😢As much as I love them them now I still ache to be with my two little boys reading in bed all cuddled and saying our prayers togeather. Go for our nature walks and both of them collecting every stone stick bug and lizard or frog on the way. Hearing them play with all their friends outside and watching them build their fort. Having not only my boys but their friends filled my house with so many laughs and noise . I loved hearing their silly conversations and I loved surprising them all with make a taco nights or hot dogs out at the stone fire pit they built me. You always hear your son is your son till he gets him a wife but a daughter’s your daughter the rest of your life and I hate this saying . My sons are so good to me making sure I have everything and always bringing up things they loved growing up. I worked in a flower shop and always even now I always have fresh flowers in the house and guess what they just recently told me they loved that still do. The things you think are little things they don’t notice will end up being the very things that mean the most to them. Your such a beautiful mom and wife and such a blessing to your family. I can see your boys always coming around when they are older wanting to share with you and also making sure your taken care of . God bless you mom Have a very Blessed day 🙏🕊😇💕🌹
Thank you for the encouragement! ❤
The yard is looking beautiful. Your little one is adorable
😊
Thank you!
Watching your channel brings so much joy. Our daughter is a stay at home mom who homeschools her boys. They are 11, 9, 4 and 2. You remind me of her with your gentle spirit and love for your family.
thanks for sharing your day with us! Yes, the days are long, but the years are short! My youngest of four, a son (my baby🥹) just got married last fall and now my husband and I are empty nesters, but God is so good as we welcomed our first grandchild from our oldest son and his wife.
I think climbing light pink roses would be beautiful on your arch!
I'm always one for roses, they're just so beautiful.
My family also does breakfast for dinner, it’s always a favorite
Thank you so much for taking us along with you today…your family is so precious!
Thank you!
Time does go by so fast with kids … I’m glad I got to be a stay at home Mom …. Your gardens are beautiful!!!!! I will try the rice for my sourdough bread !!! Thank you !!!
It depends if you want something scented or unscented. Jasmine is a wonderful scent for an arbor. Some of the rose varieties and clematis too. I would research whatever is native to the climate/zone that you live in and go from there.
Clematis flower climbs and is beautiful!
Hi Andrea, Clematis is a wonderful solution to the arbor arch, there are so many choices, and each is uniquely different. Also think of safety, as your boys are always in "full speed ahead" mode! Playing games, football, baseball, just having loads of fun, thorns could be a problem. Thanks for the tip at the end of this video. Blessings to you and your beautiful family.
Sincerely, Jersey Ann from NJ 🏈⚾
Thank you!
How precious. Thank you for sharing. You are absolutely right. Kiddos grow up fast. My only child will be 20 in August. That is definitely a bit emotional for me. However, I just need to embrace every day that God has given us. Thank you so much. Have a blessed weekend. 🌸
Thank you so much ❤
Thank you thank you so so much for your words of encouragement Andrea ♥️ As a homemaker/homeschooling young mama of 2, some days are very “trying” but oh to hear my kiddos have conversations as siblings it makes IT ALL WORTH IT!!!!
Definitely, so hard but so rewarding!
@@PineandProspectHome 💕
Oh my goodness Andrea …..this video just made me cry and miss my 3 boys being 2 …. They are all in their 20’s and boy I would do anything to be able to go through that season again😊
Aw time flies by too fast!
It's hard when you feel it's gone for good. Once my kids started school I minded the kids for a young mums' bible study group, which was lovely.
Im so glad your boys enjoy their time together, and that it gives you great joy to listen to them. My brother was 13 years older than me, and i dont recall any times like this together. My mum suffered 2-3 migraines a week, and always rested in her dark bedroom, so she never got to see much of me as a kid, and i wasnt allowed to disturb her in her room, even just for hugs. Im so pleased for you.
Andrea your videos always bring me peace and joy! Love seeing the boys and hearing them chatting! My house is empty now but often times gets filled up with 6 grandchildren. We have another grandchild on the way the end of July!! It is true, don't blink for one day your home will be quiet. Enjoy every moment!! God Bless you!!
Thank you so much for your sweet words! ❤
Something helpful to try is about 1/2” of water underneath the parchment paper, as the bread cooks the water dissipates leaving a softer crust all around. Blessings to you and yours from Montana.
Oh good tip!
What a beautiful vlog to watch.
You are both such lovely parents.
Thank you so much!
omg....I love hearing those little voices :) ...how lucky are you parents nowadays that you can record them ❤
Yes, we are so blessed to have all of these pictures and videos right on our phones!
Your baby has grown so big, love hearing his sweet voice. He's so cute.
I have a 2.5 year old boy and our conversations sound exactly like yours ❤ I’m about 3 weeks away from welcoming our second child who also happens to be a boy. I am nervous for the chaos and messes but I’m also learning to slow down and enjoy those moments as well. The messes will always be there but the cuddling won’t. Thanks for the tip with the rice and sourdough! ❤
Love this and the sweet moments with your kids. I agree, my daughter is 4 and some moments can be challenging yet I cherish the calls for Mama and all the moments together as you say, it won't be always. Enjoying the sweet time as a family. Thank you for reminding us if this and being such a beautiful example of motherhood ❤
Oh i love the song you have on your piano. I get to sing in church once a fortnight, and thats one of the favourites in our band. I recently bought all the City Alight CD's so i could listen, as i start to attack my awful kitchen.
I know how fast children grow!! I am a grandmother now and when we are you g mother we can't wait for our children to walk and talk! I always look at the pictures when my children were little and think where has the time gone and wish I could have some of that time back!
Time is a thief!
Love your attitude and love for your family! God shines through you onto them ❤ 🫶
Thank you!
Well, you made me cry. I cannot believe how fast each day turns to the next and it feels like time is just flying. My oldest is turning 13 and I do not know what happened 🥹 Such precious days we will treasure forever. Thank you for sharing such beautiful content.
Aw I didn't mean to get everyone choked up! More of a reminder to myself!
I sometimes can’t believe that my youngest grand just turned 11. You’re smart to cherish the moments because they go so fast!
They certainly do!
Your right when my girls are gone I miss them I do enjoy the alone time but it's so quiet at home. My oldest is 16 then 13 and 12 all girls!! Always get excited when you have posted new videos. Thank you! ❤
Thank you for your sweet words!
Your little one is adorable so sweet. I love leftovers not everyone does but we don't like to waste food. Jasmine would be good to plant on your arbor and it smells so good.
Thank you so much!!
What a precious life!
Our son is moving out in a month! I’m so proud and excited for him…such a grown man, 23 and starting an engineering career. But I go around the corner and cry! 😭
Wisteria is my favorite climbing plant.
I like wisteria for climbing flower/plant
Great vlog, Andrea. We raised 3 boys, all grown now. This video took me back to the busy years. They are fleeting 💨. Enjoy every moment!
Honeysuckle ia an easy climbing plant for your trellis and smells devine❤
My favorite climbing plant is clematis.🦋🦋🦋
Colette roses. Beautiful climbers. Pink blooms.
Thank you for the suggestions!
Thank you Andrea, I was able to sign up with Crafty for $1.49. It will be fun to explore some of these classes and learn some new skills. I love watching your channel. You make homemaking and motherhood look easy.
A mixture of climbers would be nice so when one finishes flowering another starts therevare 3 types of clematis group one early sping, group 2 early to mid spring flowering, and group 3 which is mid to late flowering even as late as winter flowering, they would look beautiful mixed in with a climbing rose .🌹 ..have have a beautiful garden and home one i can only inspire to x
Oh that's a really good suggestion, thank you!!
CIAO JULIA , HO LETTO IL TUO MESSAGGIO , LA TRADUZIONE PERCHÉ IO NN SONO BRAVA CON L'INGLESE , AD ANDREA E ANCHE IO SONO D'ACCORDO CON TE , DI PIANTARE DELLE CLEMATIS, NEL MIO GIARDINO NE HO DIVERSI TIPI
Wow!! This video is one of my absolute favorites! Thank you, thank you, for sharing your conversation with your precious little boy! That was so heart warming, I almost got emotional. I'm a Grandma who adores children but we don't get to see our grandchildren very much and because of health issues I'm stuck at home most of the time by myself. I would much rather hear real life noises and conversations then music over the top of everything any day! Thank you again for sharing and making this video!! It just really touched my heart and made my day! 🙏♥️🌹💚
Oh my goodness, thank you for your sweet words ❤ I'll have to make more videos with my boys then!
This is the most beautiful video I have watched recently! It is just so heartwarming!
Hi Andrea, thank you for your inspiring words and all your help throughout your journey with me, God is always there for us ! ❤😇 you asked if we know what to plant for your arch, climbing hydrangeas blue or white would look very beautiful there. I always wanted one too but I never knew where to put it at . We don’t live a bigger backyard but we do have a garden and it’s nice to have fresh veggies on hand and cannning them. You are beautiful and so is your family and your place. Thank you for sharing your heart with me it means so much to me.
I love how calming your videos are!! You have such a cute family!! Im so happy that you are soaking in the time with your family. I always tried to do the same and im so thankful that i did! My boys are 31 and 29 now. I think back and one of my favorite memories are of them eating ice cream while sitting on the glider of the swing set. 😊😊
Thank you so much!
Signed up for crafty. I want to learn to make bread. I have a sourdough starter in my refrigerator. And it looks bad. So I’m going to have to start over yet gain. I really want to make some bread. I even bought a bread maker. And I also have a Dutch oven to use to make it. Your voice is just so soothing. I don’t see how with four boys.
Jasmine is our favorite we have planted for “climbing” plants
Thank you for the suggestion!
