You are so right about when your kids are small are the best times. I love my grandkids because it is like having my own little ones again. Time goes so fast
Your porch and patio look so festive and summery thanks for sharing
Thanks again, Arika!!!! Your porch and back patio are so festive!!! Yes, something on the tables would be the perfect addition to those cute, cute popsicle pillows!!! Enjoy that chocolate pie...!!! ❤😊
I just love your beautiful home! The front porch and back patio are so nice to have, You always make them look so festive.
Just a few minutes in...had a very annoying neighbor like that...third time the cops came he was fined and the noise stopped and peace prevailed. We all pay taxes and should keep the peace as much as possible. Will pray about this neighbor for you...🙏
I love you too ❤Your like the sister i never had I injoy watching everything you put up you have the sweetest family ever and your fur babies . Love from Canada 🥰
Loving all your patriotic decor especially those adorable ice pop pillow covers. Marion’s DVD holder is looking good and is so practical.
Such a beautiful summer decoration! I can't even imagine how happy I would be if I lived here!😘😘
Everything looks so cute. Love the popsicle and star pillow covers and of course that cute ladybug. ❤
God bless you and your family Arika❤ Thank you for your presence here on this platform and sharing God with your viewers in many different ways. I saw another commentor share this same sentiment. With all that is going on in the world these days, I feel so thankful for a presence on UA-cam like yours.
I love how your porch and patio turned out. Your back yard is lovely too. Thank you so much for posting your videos. I always feel like I am joining a best friend on here.
Bedroom looks beautiful! Love the change of curtains ❤️. Enjoy your friendship ❤️
Love all the patriotic red, white & blue especially the blue jean colored and popsicle pillow covers. See you in the next one Arika 🥰
You live in the quintessential American neighborhood like the one I grew up in. I love the sound of children being children, my house was the house everyone flocked to, I had 5 siblings and it was a wonderful place to grow up in. I love your Americana decor
The ladybug would look cute on the backyard table ❤
When my grandkids were little, I always made that chocolate pie that Marion likes. I have 7 grandsons and 1 granddaughter. I have tried other fancier chocolate pies through the years, but they all say, we like the jello pie better. Your porches look good. I love to decorate with the red, white and blue. Yes, I have a young man that lives across the street that likes his music loud and that thumping base rattles my dishes sometimes it is so loud. Bless your sweet family.
Arika, you are a JOY! So kind, loving, uplifting. Thank you!
Your front porch and your patio both look so festive and welcoming! 🎉
My favorite Vlogger always keeps it real loves her family ❤
Love the parriotic wreath. The flags in the plant is so cute! Back patio is looking nice for summer. We have been spending so much time out in our backyard already.
You always motivate me into decorating. Love the way you decorated your front porch and back porch. Thanks for sharing, Arika ❤️🤍💙🇺🇸
Oh I miss those days of every Tuesday buying a new movie for Friday dinner and a movie! We have a ton of DVDs We just bought the zippered cases for them, Tried keeping them in alphabetical order, genre ... That didn't work so good at the time,lol But all our you-gins have flown the coop! lol I need to sit down and go through them all on a rainy day! Great video, Have a Blessed evening!❤❤
Arika, your front and back porch are gorgeous. I love the decor. And I would repot the hosta’s. It would be a shame to loose them. They are gorgeous. That Clyde is gorgeous. I lost my big black and white, Buddy. I had to have him put down on the 29 of May. I have cried until I can’t cry anymore. But he will always be in my heart. Clyde reminds me so much of him. The pot pie and the chocolate pie looked so delicious. Until the next time May God bless you all.
I love how you decorated your front porch and back porch. It is so cozy and relaxing. My husband loves those kind of pies too. Thank you for sharing the recipes and scriptures. I truly enjoy your videos. 🤗❤️
The front porch is adorable so inviting to read or just rest!!❤️
I know what you mean about the music. I have one that plays the car stereo it is up so high it vibrates my house and I can hear it when I am inside with the TV on full blast 😢
So sorry, praying for the Lord to shield you 🙏💖
We are making over our bedroom so I haven't decorated yet. I'm living vicariously through you. Love your popsicle pillow covers. ❤🤍💙
To make that dessert and have your favorite crunchy crust, crush an oreo into a small bowl and top with pudding you've refrigerated, whipped topping on that. Individual dessert when you want it, crunchy bottom! As always, enjoy a visit with you via your video. Blessings, dear Arika.
PS&BTW back yard & patio!!!!!!!! How much are you LOVING THAT?!?!
The front porch and the patio look so pretty. We live in a neighborhood also, a lot of older people actually quiet here. Been here for about eight years always had at least 3 acres before. I like the country living better. Was raised that way in the country by lol❤
Your decorations are very nice, 🙂☺️🥰 lovely. Your dinner looked delicious, 😋😊, nice video, 😍📸💜💗
Your outdoor spaces look so welcoming! I also decorate with red, white, and blue for the whole summer. I love how it looks and I love this country.
Erica my sweet friend I understand completely where you're coming from I live in a townhome and there's people that always play their music so loud ridiculous loud music and you're here at the base and it drives me nuts and I get so aggravated! My anxiety gets to me when they cranked their crazy music and I'm just like oh no I rebuke it in Jesus name wish people can be more respectful smh 🤦♀️ also I meant to mention that I love your Popsicle pillows❤🥰😀 hoping and praying that we will be able to move and towards the country where it's peaceful and quiet😊😣💜🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Love the window boxes this year. 😊. I was watching Clyde outside & he seems so in his element. Before that, since the navy on the front porch looks black on camera, Clyde was matching the whole loveseat decor.😎❤️. Dinner looked so good.😋. I used to make a chocolate peanut butter pie when mine were young....it was their favorite. Similar to your pie but add in peanut butter.🤷🏻♀️. I prefer the one you made though. Love today's scripture❣️🙏🏼
Great hanging out with ya Arika. Loved all the patriotic decor. I also have mine up till end of July too. Then I just wait for all the fall decor. It’s my fav. Loved seeing Clyde enjoying the great outdoors. Also love your popsicle pillow cases. Very cute. I agree with another viewer, that lady bug would cute on one of the tables. Enjoy your week. 😎🇺🇸❤
I grocery shopped today. Wore me out because of the heat. We just had chili dogs and carrots, celery and peppers with ranch tonight. Plan for tomorrow is taco salad! We love taco salad!
Have you looked into new cushions for your outdoor sofa? I like BRIGHT colors outside. Last year I got 2sets of cushions for my chairs and foot stools. They are teal background with colorful flowers. I have a total of six chairs, so I will look at the colors they have, hopefully something red or orange! I’ll only get two sets. Then next year I’ll get the final pair. At $50 a chair, can’t do them all at once! Then I just have the love seat glider to find mats for. It’s metal and gets too hot to sit on without SOMETHING. I put all of my cushions in an outdoor bin when we aren’t sitting in them. Only takes a couple of minutes to pull them out and set them up each time.
Love the porch..
So welcoming and pretty... The patio is also pretty. Very nice to sit outside with ice tea and listen to the birds...
Hi everything looks fantastic I love all the pillow cases, maybe the ones from last year u can used on your sectional, also the big star on your backyard on the porch if you spray paint it red it will pop up beautifully against the color on your wall, just a suggestion 😊and for the pineapple 🍍 juice you mentioned that it is very expensive try Aldi I’m sure it will be super cheap there, I feel like they are the cheapest from everyone else even with the crazy prices out there.
I love how you decorated your front n back porch😍👍💕 I agree... loud bass n music is so annoying. We get that once in awhile too. Thank you for sharing your bahamian drink with us. I'm gonna try it this summer! Yummmm. I love your channel❤
I made your tropical punch and it’s very refreshing. I got my pineapple juice at Walmart for $3.68 it’s a little cheaper than Kroger. It’s delicious ❤
I have one of those neighbors too! So annoying, just pray they will be able to hear as they age. We have a sound ordinance but not enforced much. Keep up the great work you do, i truly love your channel! Thanks!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
Hey, I watched your video this morning so I made the Cheddar Bay Biscuit Bake! It was delicious. I went over the Jens channel. I forgot the peas but it was still great. My guys loved it!❤
My hostas get full sun blazing down on them all day everyday and they are GIGANTIC. and I literally do nothing to them they just seem to thrive that way. I don’t even water them. They just chill. I must be lucky I didn’t know they were so finicky. I learn something new everyday.
Luv the pot pie dinner and 🥧 pie + yummy boho punch!! Marians sweet to make the video shelf and paint it! 🎨. Soo nice how fun ur large backyard turned out and that u have the couches 🛋 and all! Def a great 👍 improvemnt and always luv ur cute decor! Blessings! ❤ 😊
Loved how everything turned out! They have some cute patriotic solar lanterns at the Dollar Tree... cute touch without breaking the bank. I'm hoping to make pistachio pudding pie with the graham cracker crust this weekend. Hope it's as delicious as yours looked!
Hi Arika! Both porches look so festive! Your flower boxes are beautiful! Your chicken recipe looks yummy! I’m going to try it and the dessert! 🌸
Loving your back yard. Everything looks so nice and cozy. I enjoy hearing and seeing kids play outside in the yard as well. They do grow up way to fast. ❤❤😊
I really enjoyed your porch makeovers and your recipes, looks so delicious! I think I have everything to make the chicken dish!
May the Lord continue to bless your family!
Everything looks beautiful as always! You do a wonderful job with everything!
I always enjoy your videos Arika! Love your beautiful home. ❤. Lisa from Simi Valley, California 😊
I am right there with ya. Miss the kiddos playing outside all evening. My youngest kid about to be 16 as well. He plays the Xbox more now. They grow up way too fast!
Hi Arika, Have you considered planting some shrubs along the neighbours fence for some privacy?
I enjoy your porch and patio decorating videos. The pie is my Granddaughters favorite also. I make it two ways, but the way you make it is her favorite. I mix the pudding and cool whip together and use my mixer, and it makes a mouse.
I love the wreath you received from a subscriber. Everything thing looks very patriotic. I don’t know if you have ever talked about this but, what is the story of your fur babies? Are they rescues? Clyde is funny.
Oh Goodness! My son is 17 will be 18 on Sunday and he’s all about that bass! I have asked him not to turn it loud in the neighborhood!!! Maybe you will get lucky and Jackson will not like bass! I’m with you though. I don’t like all that bass unless I am listening to it in my house which doesn’t get loud because I use an Echo show with built in speaker.
Your front porch is so cozy and your backyard sitting area is comfortable looking and festive! May I suggest getting a cordless vacuum? I bought one about a year ago and I love it. You could use it on your area rugs outside. Blessings ❤
Arika I love your patriotic front porch and patio. How cute are those popsicle pillow covers.
I need to try that chicken recipe it looked yummy.
Have a wonderful weekend.❤️
Love the house really cute I miss those days with my kids ❤❤❤❤
Hi Arika your porch and back patio looks so pretty dinner looked very good…
Your DVD stand Marion made looks fantastic have a great day ❤
We live on a dead end street that used to be full of kids most evenings,but now my kids are all grown and the neighbor kids are all grown and moved away...this little road seems like the end of the earth sometimes. It's lonely. I love your flowers in your flower boxes. They're not "over done". They are just right.
Hi Arika! Your decorations look great!🎉
Just a thought, Dollar Tree sells the long wooden skewers. You could add one to your Flag making it taller. 😊
Honestly, I loved hearing the kids outside playing and seeing them go by on their bikes. Brings back good memories of when my own kids were young also! 😊 I feel like kids are not outside as much these days. I rarely hear them or see them anymore. But there are 2 families who recently moved in and their kids are starting to play outside. I love it.
You did a great job. I try your chicken recipe and your chocolate pie whole family love it. Thank you for sharing it ❤❤
Hi Arika, your porches look so nice , I do enjoy watching your videos, thanks so much.
Enjoyed the video the pie and punch both looked delicious. How much water did you add? Enough to make a gallon after added ingredients?
I love what you've done and oh my gosh I love your flower boxes they are so beautiful I want to do me some The only thing is is that all I can think about is me having to take them apart cuz you know how spiders and bugs like to climb up in them and make them look all nasty but they are so beautiful I'm thinking about doing it anyway
Everything looks beautiful. I will try the recipe 😋 blessings and all my love ❤
Love the patriotic decor and those popsicle covers are adorable. That flip flop flag is so cute. Did you say where you got that??
Thank you for sharing your video. I enjoyed watching you decorate your front and back porch and patio.
Everything is beautiful as always!! That dinner tho.... 😋
Love how you decorated.looks beautiful. Your dinner looked delicious. ❤
Why no actual fence for privacy around your properties ? How pretty, and dinner looked delish!
Maybe try the frozen pineapple juice it might be less expensive…plus it will be cold
I miss the days of all the kids running around too. Everything looks very nice. Have a happy weekend. ❤
Love the pillow covers. Dinner looked yummy. Tfs
Your porch and patio look great Arika thanks for sharing.Your dinner looked delicious 💕
I also decorate with Red white and blue ! The wreath on the front door is beautiful! You make me smile 🙏❤️
I live kinda in the country, and trust me, it isn't always peace and tranquility. I have neighbors who think it makes sense to target practice in their backyard. I love how you decorated the front and back of your house ❤❤
I had neighbors like that too. And also four wheelers into the evening, argh.
Good morning all happy Friday and I enjoy your channel and you all amazing happy 1st day of summer
Love the decor. I hope you do out the lanterns on the table and around the patio. That pie looks amazing.
Love the meal and pie! God job on adding the July 4th decor!!
It’s 108 degrees today where I live so 78 sounds heavenly 🙂 Love the look of the front porch and all your decor as well as the back porch. ❤️🤍💙 I will be back to finish your video
Not really interested in the decor; I forwarded it, but thank you for the recipe.
You have such a talent at decorating. It’s like watching a canvas and artist. 😊❤
Hi Mrs arika Both of your porches look so pretty and your meal looks delicious and so is the chocolate pie
