    I’m a 61 years old woman, I’ve been watching your videos for a long time. Advice for you younger mom’s, tell your children how much you love them everyday. Always let them know that whatever they’re talking to you about, is important to you too. Take time to listen.

      As a young Mom the above is first, second always be honest with your kids allow them a safe place to talk even when it’s hard for you let them know you always listen and are there to help. This foster a open relationship which when they get older makes a wonderful relationship. Also give yourself Grace, kids are very different from each other and they don’t come with instructions what works with 1 doesn’t work across the board. Allow yourself to not know, learn and do better and loving your kids and showing them love they will be forgiving when you may not handle something the best on the first go!

    Best advice for a young mom:
    The days are long but the years are short. Time goes by so fast to worry about the small stuff. If you’re overwhelmed, walk away and take a breather. But try to enjoy every moment. One day you’ll laugh about the nail polish painted in the closet door or the doodles on the wall. I wish I didn’t stress so much over the little things when my kids were younger.

    After years of trying, my daughter and son in law is going to have a baby. ❤They are naming her Rellie Caroline after his grandmother and her grandmother. I think that’s so sweet. You can tell that I’m ecstatic about being a grandmother at almost 60 years old. Love you Merina. Keep praying us and we’re going to keep praying for you and family, friends and especially the ones that leave mean comments. They need it the most and you are the one that has taught us to be forgiving and spread kindness.

I truly love you and your whole family….no inside jokes….just love from someone who just enjoys your company. ❤️❤️❤️

    I am one of those older moms and I was also a single mom. So a few things popped into my head for the sweet momma asking for advice for a younger mom. Your kids will grow up very fast so take advantage of every moment you can to spend with them or just talk with them. They will remember that and appreciate you for it. They will watch you to see how you deal with situations and how you react to things. I tried to take a quick second or so before I reacted because my son was watching and learning from me. Don’t be afraid to ask for or accept help. Something I learned from my mom was not to rob someone of the joy of being a blessing to you.

  • @taniaholland9037
    @taniaholland9037 Місяць тому +2

    Regarding your dogs tearing your screens on the porch. . . i’m sorry to tell you that you are going to have to do this project twice also.
    We have had dogs and cats all our lives and we found out the hard way what we had to do to remedy this problem. Tell Shane to go to Lowe’s and ask to see the “hardware cloth”. It is metal screening that comes in a roll. You cut it to fit each section then staple your bug screen over it on the outside. We sold our last house after 18 years with the hardware cloth protecting the screening from ever being replaced. We had 3 dogs and 13 cats at that house. We now live in NC and had to do another porch when we moved here 17 years ago. We have not had to replace the screens yet - and the cats climb all the way to the top.
    Downside is you have to re-do it. Good news is you won’t have to do it ever again. Since you don’t have cats you may be able to get away with just doing the bottom half. I’d try that first and do the top later if it’s necessary. To me it is also an extra feeling of security. Hope this is helpful. ❤

He was home with his brother who is 15, sis 10, 5.. parents at church at a meeting just 4 miles away. He called me totally in a break down down sobbing..said NeNe i need you.. grabbed my purse and took off! Talked to him all the way on the phone to calm his little nerves. Always let your children know they matter. That they are the most important person in the world to you. Time is the best treasure you can leave for your children.

    Clouds! Yes! Merina, Binks was sending a little last sign for sure! Mine did too! When my soul dog Duke passed away, I have a video from years ago with the cloud that looked just like him that appeared afterward. I know it's hard, mourning and loss are really sad, but let yourself feel it and get it all out, and it will slowly get better over time. After Duke, I couldn't have any other animals because it hurt so bad, but a year later we rescued a kitten named Tater. He was the cat that could break through and helped us heal SO much, he was SO loving. He just recently passed away a few weeks ago, and I feel lost again. We are taking it day by day. Thank you for sharing your amazing life with us, you and your family always bring such joy! ❤

    It's definitely hard to lose a fur baby. The necklace of Binx and the wall of the pictures of all of your dogs will always remind you that your dogs are always with you. The cloud of the wiener dog picture felt like that was Binx letting you know that he is still always with you 🙏❤️

    I really think you should frame the cloud picture of binx. That is a beautiful memory to honor. I had a supernatural experience also during my grief my Midi (short for midnight). I was having a hard time like you and waiting for my husband who was at a drs. appt.. I started straightening up his work van and crying constantly. Out of nowhere I heard his favorite toy ( a ball with a bell inside). It really startled me. That toy was buried with him. God is good to comfort his children!

    I have two Huskies the older husky she is the sweetest dog I have ever seen in my 46yrs of life. I’ve seen sweet dogs but this one is something special she was abandoned and we took her in I’ve NEVER heard her growl or anything like that. She’s a little big but she will crawl up in your lap stay there for days if you let her. The other husky is her son from her only litter before my son got her fixed and she’s been such a good mom. I can’t express enough how sweet she really is. She’s getting older and I can’t imagine her not being here. 💔

    Reasons I like Merina: You're fun/funny, Godly, real, honest, you show the good, bad and ugly. I love watching your family. Shane is a riot. Empathy towards Cammy and patience. Love of dogs, homemaker talent. Man there's just so much. I was hooked my first time watching. It was a what did I get my kids for Christmas 22. So I haven't been here long but I'm definitely not going anywhere. My top 2 favorites are you Merina and a lady in So Dakota her name is Crystal Tara. Look her up. I think you'd like her Merina. XO

Merina listening you say You can't understand why we (your subscribers) like or love you...even though I'm old enough to be your grandma or even gr.grandma I find you're relatable and down to earth. There's nothing phony about you or your sweet husband Shane. At first I remember I didn't subscribe right away but watched faithfully but finally 3 1/2 years ago I did and I haven't missed a video and now I even got my oldest daughter to subscribe to your channel. Enjoyed the video. Hope you had a nice Mothers Day💐Well sweetie it's late so Good Night😴 God Bless LuvYa! Bye from Ohio🌹

    As an older generation parent, the best advice I would give is to realize even in the worst of days - ur children are a gift . I mean the biggest gift God will ever give u. He has choose u to raise and protect and live this child even in their worst days and we never know the length of time we have with them. I am a mother of 3, with 2 of my adult children already residing in heaven. I was blessed beyond but never did I believe or consider I would only have my daughter for 32 yrs and my oldest son for 40 yrs. And as lucky as I am- no parent should ever have to bury a child . So when they take a path u disagree with or break ur favorite vase - remember this will pass and tomorrow u will be grateful God choose u to be their Mother. I live with so much regret at being a hard momma, if only I could go back and remember it is not the end of the world and all will be well as long as they are still here. Love them for before u can blink they will be an adult raising their own and ur babies will be grown😪

      My mother was a great mom. She loved the Lord. She was there for us. She always cooked our meals, cleaned our clothes, read to us, didn't criticize us when we messed up, played music for us, never minded having our friends and family over, sang a lot, made sure we learned about the Bible, prayed for us, took up for us. Loved us very much.

Your picture had me crying. What a message! Your house is looking great! Need to do this to my doublewide. My heart and prayers are with you and your beautiful family. You and Shane are very talented and creative. 🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤

    Merina, you being chased by that bee was a great start to your video!!! It was so funny, and getting your knight in shining armor to come to the rescue was priceless. You truly make my day better, when i see a new video for Fearfully Created. I cant wait to see what it will be about!!! Ive been so heartbroken over the loss of your Binks and the aftermath, but I'm so encouraged to see you talking about him, putting on that necklace with that dachshund pendant, and keeping busy. For the new mom help....heres my 2 cents!!! I've always tried to lead my life by The Golden Rule and do my best to be positive always. I learned earlier in my life that being negative only breeds more negativity, and it won't change anything anyway, so rise above!!!! Also always encourage, praise and love unconditionally!!!
    For the girl needing baby name help... heres my suggestions: Lauren Elizabeth for a girl. I had wanted to name my daughter that, but of course, her daddy wouldn't have it! We compromised with Lori Anne. For a boy's name, I would choose Clayton Wesley after my grandfather.
    In answer to that person on how to respond to a pushy person, as a 65 year old woman, I've had my share, so it's best to keep an open mind. I know it's hard, but for those people that profess to be Christian, but are more hypocritical, I always tell them that Jesus loves me just as I am and he's not finished with me yet with a smile on my face. That usually helps them see they overstepped their boundaries in a kind and gentle way. I hope that helps. I'm really looking forward to your 2nd living/kitchen redo next. Love you always, Lisa from Oklahoma

    Please pray for me. I am the one going through a divorce after 30 years together He cheated with my best friend and she got pregnant. Also the judge ordered our house to be sold and when he signed it the buyers wanted everything to stay so the judge signed off and everything I own was in the house so I lost everything me and my son owned. I have nothing. We have nothing. What I have been collecting for over 30 years and family heirlooms. I don't know what I'm going to do. I also didn't say I lost my left leg due to an accident earlier this year. Im falling apart. Thats why finding a home is hard due to having a ramo. I can't walk up steps with one leg. I just need prayers. I cant take anymore. Maybe i need a channel just to make friends during this time. Most of my friends are mutual friends either with my ex best friend or my husband.😩 Also you asked if I had your email for resources,I don't

    I understand what you’re going through completely. This May 1st my 20 yo Baby Jake retired over the rainbow bridge. My heart hurts everyday but with Gods help we both will get through this very hard time. On Mother’s Day’s, I received the message that his clay foot print was ready for pickup. It both made me relive all of the hard times but I’m glad I have it now. I kept his favorite blanket, first brush, and first halter. He will always be in my heart and in my memories. Stay strong and know we are here for you. Much love ❤️ and prayers for you and your family.
