I love watching birds. I have a little bird area under my pine tree. A fly through feeder, a thistle feeder, a suet feeder and then a standard one, plus a bird bath. We trimmed up the pine branches and I can sit at my dining room window, enjoy my coffee and birds. Something about bird watching is just relaxing.
You are so beautiful, Leslie, but what’s even more important is your beautiful personality… you are such a sweet, upbeat person and I just love watching you! God bless you and Jason!
Me toooo. You are one of my favorite Christian video channels (out of 6 or so) and I never leave your channel without feeling uplifted. You seem like a friend who'd come over, roll up your sleeves, and help clean an overflowed toilet or something. And I think how a saint you must be to deal with a husband with dementia. I went through it with my mom and that was hard. ❤🎉❤😇
Hobbies are so healthy for us! Mine is scrapbooking, I do it for my grandchildren. We call their scrapbooks ADVENTURES WITH MEME AND PAPAW. They love their books and they range from Flordia vacation adventures to cooking, baking and even playing in the creek. I have CHF so i wont live a long life but i definitely want them to remember me, they are my world!
You are such a light! Please stay encouraged, keep sharing with us and try to take any negative comments with a grain of salt. You are lovely inside and out. You have such variety in your videos and look forward to them all. Christmas in July! Yay!! 🎉
I can really relate to spending time outdoors. Coffee on the porch, afternoon embroidery or cross stitch in the shade and of course watching the sunset each evening. So calming and enjoyable. Another favorite is growing cherry tomatoes in pots. You might love that too. So fun when they start to ripen but they produce so many! Thanks for sharing your raccoon videos. They are so entertaining.
Those raccoons are always up to something over here! LOL I bet I would love that too! Next year I'm taking my new love of growing things to a whole new level and planting a garden! Wish me luck!
Leslie, you just make my day!! I love listening to your ideas and your enthusiasm is infectious! But most importantly, your happy outlook and positive vibe makes spending UA-cam time with you such a joy! Thank you! ❤
Thank you for sharing these items with us. I don’t know what I’m missing until someone shows me!!!! Also, please know your positive energy is contagious. What a gift!
I love your videos. I took care of my husband for 15 yrs. He was wheel chair bound and had metal health issues. I can relate to your videos. I admire your strength! Hugs!
Oh thats so funny about the birds. I am 38 and just started enjoying bkrds like crazy. Im getting bird seed and water feeders. I want a fountain to attract more! 😅
I’m 49( knocking on 50’s door) I have been watching birds in my yard for several years. It is so therapeutic and honestly something I look forward to every day.
Loved the video! I'm always outside and love nature, trees, flowers and all of the gifts God gave us. I feed the birds everyday. They wait for me every morning. I have a bird bath and another one with a fountain on top. I have a morning routine which also includes coffee on my patio.
I'm laughing as you talked about enjoying the birds!! I have taken an interest in Birds myself. I wake up early to listen to them. My husband told my married daughters that mom has really changed! I love it and don't care! LOL😊
I learn so much from your videos Leslie. I love your enthusiasm and how pretty you are. I have always had family with mental illness and I have developed a hide. I love hearing how a beautiful soul like you stays present and energetic.
Leslie - I congratulate you on getting sponsorship on your channel. WHAT AN ACHIEVEMENT !! Keep going and don't listen to the naysayers. "Hater's always hate."
Loving the birds and squirrels this summer. A mockingbird perches on our chimney many times every day and the sound comes down into our house. What a blessing.
Enjoyed hearing about your current favorites. I like that it was not just one area of interest, but lots of variety. I definitely NEED those storage bags for seasonal king-sized bedding and my decorative pillow collection.
Always love it when UA-cam notifies me of a new “A Charming Abode” video! Try not to miss a single one. But, it’s also fun to “binge” and catch up when returning from vacay!
I ❤the birds as well! I have red and yellow finches, orioles, doves, cardinals and several others. I have bought bird feeders, bird bath, oriole feeders for grape jelly and hummingbird feeders. It’s fun to keep track of what I see!
Leslie, how do you organize all your family photos? I've got my photos in a large plastic tub which is so heavy I can hardly lift it. I know there are to be a better way to organize them.
Thank you for your suggestions. As a Christian, I feel like I can trust your book, suggestions. And I feel like you will only share things you really use and like. And I like your simple list. One in each category. You're right the other Amazon prime Days. Suggestions overwhelmed me with 100 things to try. Lol
I love the idea for the Flower Letters. I am going to send this for myself and a birthday gift for a very dear friend that I know will love it. Thanks for the idea. I am going with Audrey Rose Letters since they take place in Tennessee and that is where we are from. Love the tree face, on the video that actually looks like it is carved into the tree.
great vid Leslie! I get a kick (not) out of people who watch for free but aren't cool with you getting sponsorships. Never ever apologize for knowing your worth. You are extremely busy yet still put a tremendous amount of work and time into producing and editing these vides to entertain us. You deserve to be compensated! And anyone who has watched for a while knows this has become your main income stream out of necessity. Thank you for sharing your life, your creativity, your smiley face, and your time. I really appreciate it! Keep on keeping on.
Hi Leslie, I loved your post. I love to see things that are of interest in other countries (I'm from Australia). Your favourite things were varied and interesting. I love to see you smiling. Take care xx.
Thank you so much for the link to the lumbar exercises. I’ve been having the same issues. I’m even have a breast reduction in 3 weeks because the back pain is horrendous!
I have to get a donut pan but I’m going to try those. Probably much better for you I would think. I have made several recipes you recommended. I just love everything you do ! I enjoy watching you my friend and talking (commenting) back and forth. Look forward to everything on Instagram and UA-cam . You and Jason (and Kelsey) make my day brighter ❤❤
Great video! We had to take our birdfeeders down because of the bears but can't wait until winter and they go back up! We love to see all the different birds come in! It'[s time for some crafts for myself now! Thanks for the inspiration! 🥰
Really loved this video. Felt like a visit with you. I am looking forward to your next DIY. I have followed IOD and have made a few pieces with air dry clay and molds.. so fun. I’m loving my vegetable garden right now. Also love being outdoors every day. Have a great week. ❤
Leslie I love sitting out watching the birds, deer rabbits that run around the yard. For me it's just peaceful. My favorite thing is painting furniture to make it my style. My style is French country/ farmhouse. I also love all white walls and an accident wall sometimes. Your home is so beautiful, I love how you decorate your home. Oh yes I have the bags and they are game changing for storage/ my greenery and pillows so far. I even put my winter quilt in one. Say hi to Jason. ♥️🌴
You are always, so much fun to watch and I love what you share with us. I love my humming birds. Amazing, to watch them flutter their tiny little wings in mid air.
Happy Sunday! I was so happy you shared the flower letters in the winter. I am doing the world war II story! I didn't even know about it until you shared it. advertising and sponsors are great! What you do is hard and takes a lot of time. I mean hard in a different way than the NICU. I was a NICU nurse for 20 years but had to quit due to my health. Great ideas and items I need to try.
People love watching birds the world over. We are in Australia and love having a birdbath in our yard. We are right next to a gumtree parkland so also have possums and koalas visiting our yard.
Omg! Im loving you and am SO happy to find your channel!!!!! Ive spent the entire morning cramming your videos and now, your favorite things! You bring the sunshine, girl! Anyway, its rare to find a channel with great ideas AND i love the person doing the channel! Just THANK YOU! ❤
Great video! Ordered the slide on shoes, I have issues with my feet so hoping they’ll work for me. I also go out early morning to water flowers and the grass is usually wet. Can’t wait to see the dry clay craft your going to do.
Leslie, I enjoy your videos so much. You are so sweet and talented. There is nothing as relaxing as listening to birds chirping away. I just love it! 🌸🪺🕊️❤
I just love your enthusiasm! I love birds too and had several feeders out--until they attracted rats!!! I would use the no mess birdseed but so much dropped that the rats came. They are gone now but so are the birds😪
Hi Leslie! Just tuned in, can't wait to see your faves! I really want to make the spice cake donuts! My birthday is in October and I always have spice cake as my birthday cake. My son is November and he does also. I love your attic! As a matter of fact, I think that's how I discovered your channel, from your attic storage video. Those bags are great! Sent my son off to college with a bunch of those bags. I'm always proud for people who get sponsorships. I use the it Cosmetics CC Cream with 50 SPF, and I love it! I will have to look for that show on Netflix. Always looking for something to watch. Hopefully its not too heartbreaking, because those are very hard for me to watch. I love my bird feeder! My husband gifted it to me last year for Mother's Day. Now, if I could just keep that pesky squirrel out of it... Your book case will be adorable! UPDATE: We just watched the movie and I am livid! That's so horrible how that family was treated.
My mother Inlaw made spice cake and the topping was some sort of marshmallow frosting that came in a small box it was so delish . Years later I continue to make spice cake and found a marshmallow frosting that I make homemade omg it’s so good what kind of topping do you put on your spice cake if any 🌻🌻🌻
I love those blue bags for my kid’s college dorm. I buy them at my local Walmart (packing/moving supplies aisle) Also at IKEA and of course, Amazon. Tyfs! Love this type of videos!!!
Yay, another video from you! This was fun!! Thankful for when you share neat things with us and when you have sponsors. Excited for Christmas in July!!! 🌻 Aww..love seeing all your wildlife. I enjoy 🐦 too especially early mornings on the porch with tea during my devotion time.🥰
We pray for you & Jason. Love you & am so Thankful for how GOD is helping & using you!! Love,Carolyn

I found a hummingbird feeder & some food from Dollar Tree & now Ive become a birdwatcher lol
Im obsessed, & its so peaceful too
