    I love how raw and authentic your videos are. So many Fake youtubers who want the world to think their homes and lives are perfection. Thank you for being real. It's a nice place to kick back and relax while we watch and get inspired. Thank you.

    I’m almost 70. I’m in the process of moving to Costa Rica to live w my son and his family. I have 3 sons. Watching you brought back the young times of my life where there was always so much to do. Never apologize for letting life get in way of your to do list. I think you and your family are wonderful.Im a designer by trade . Every part of your home is beautiful.

Please take rest periods throughout the day and drink water like crazy. Have extra healthy snacks. Youve been so sick as of late also. No preterm labor for you dear! Prayers up!

    Way to GO, Kristen! (At tne same time, I confess that I’m a 61 yr. female that doesn’t want you to over-do it!) What a charming, cozy back-porch haven you’ve created for your precious family! I love the beautiful nod to the home that you & Josh first shared! And, Josh in that chair… ! His ‘Honey Do’ list… ! Always, I’m blessed to see your ‘Signature Kristen,’ beautiful, thoughtful way with Josh & your children! (Brings the Proverbs woman to mind!) Praying for ‘baby girl!’ She’s blessed beyond measure to be joining your family! I’m so excited for y’all & continue to pray blessings in abundance! 🩷🙏🏼

    This room turned out beautifully Kristen! Have you thought about attaching doors instead of a curtain to visually hide the contents? I would definitely set a mouse trap or it's going to chew through your wall and wiring!!!

    • @Rita-hz2iu
      @Rita-hz2iu Місяць тому +7

      Yes, you do not want him chewing your wiring. Try peppermint essential oil & if you have to shove steel wool in cracks & holes.

      Mouse traps with peanut butter,works every time!🙌🏻

  • @ginnyh7304
    @ginnyh7304 Місяць тому +14

    Try putting peanut butter in a mouse trap.
    We had a mouse problem at our last home that got pretty bad, and had to hire a service. Didn't work.
    Then we tried putting peanut butter in the mouse traps and that did the trick!

    • @doubles1738
      @doubles1738 Місяць тому +5

      Yes, peanut butter is the best bait for snap traps. We had much better luck with glue traps tho. Keeping the dog food in a metal bin will help keep the mice out of it and not leaving it out all day for the dog to graze will help too. The more you can get food and nesting sources locked away, the better. Patching holes or using tin foil to block gaps around doors and windows helped us too. I’m wondering if the mice are contributing to the health problems? Lots of hard work to clean up but the room looks great!

    First of all prayers that hydrating will help with the contractions, as long as you take your time as you well know after 3 children I trust you will be fine. Older homes have so much character as well issues with windows. I love your home so much, thank you for sharing. Have a blessed week❤❤❤

    Happy Sunday! I grew up on farm, we had the best Cat mouser in the country. We still had mice that were wanting to camp out, lol in our 2 story farmhouse. It’s sounds terrible butI would always bait my wooden mouse traps with peanut butter and that solves the problem! It truly does.
    Your home is lovely. Very cozy indeed.

    A week and a half is amazing! My projects usually take much longer. This winter, I started painting my small powder room and it took my 3 weeks to finish. I was just so busy that I only had 30-60 minutes at a time. I give myself grace for things taking longer and am just thankful that I can eventually get things done. So definitely don't feel bad that it takes longer then you think.

  • @keeperoftherealms
    @keeperoftherealms Місяць тому

    If you can’t recycle, one option is to shred the cardboard wet it in a bin, add worm bin worms. add food scraps and create awesome soil to start a garden. Search up 3 bin worm bins. Keep moist. You’ll be amazed how fast the worms convert it all to soil. ❤

    It looks WONDERFUL! I was born in 1955 and my grandparent's house out in CA had a room very similar to that that my granddad built on. It was his Native American room and had types of Indian artifacts, collectibles, pots, you name it and your room brings back those sweet memories of spending time in Granddad's Indian room. And, it truly was mid century. I love it. I would never leave. But, I freeze ALL the time and would have to have a roaring fire back there, lol. In the summer I would be fine. Great video sweetie. You did an excellent job and I want to come sit with y'all. xoxTXDeb

  • @ohioitis200
    @ohioitis200 Місяць тому +5

    Just be sure if you are drinking a lot of water that you get enough sodium. A lot of water can really throw that off and cause a lot of problems with your electrolytes. You can google it. Also, it sounds tacky, but you should get some of that plastic sheeting that you put over your windows with your hairdryer. If you make the edges even it's usually hard to tell it's even on there. Curtains, even sheers help hide edges. It works unbelievably well. (I've lived in old farm houses with no storm windows and always used it successfully.) Sometimes I've even had to go over and touch it to see that it was there. Do a little, sit with your feet up, do a little more. Pace yourself to take care of you and that baby.

    Hey Kristen. I’m a southern girl and it tickles me so much to hear you say “y’all “. I didn’t know the folks in Indiana used that term! Love your sweet little family. Josh is definitely going to need a hide out with his big tv for gaming with a house full of ladies, poor guy!!!😂

      But I know what you mean, it seems more southern. My husband and I moved from NC 2.5 years ago, and most everyone says it there!!
      I am originally from PA, then Ohio, and MO, so I don't use the term myself. 😊

    Happy Sunday Kristen, before we moved to the city . I had a veranda like yours , with windows all around. My husband hung up bamboo curtains for me . I used the veranda as my den . When it was really hot or very cold I keep the curtains down . On days when the weather was perfect , the curtains stayed up . Worked out perfectly, for me . I sat out there to read my bible & take notes . And scrapbook. Blessings to you and your family 🌺💞🌸
