    I love watching your videos. I'm a Christian but from a different tradition than you are, but it warms my heart that we share the most important thing, which is faith in Jesus. I don't cover my hair or dress as modestly as you, but it makes me happy that you are following the Spirit's guidance and your conscience in following God. I stay at home too and am very encouraged and entertained by your videos when I'm doing my work! Thanks for everything!

    wanted to say that I love how you interact with your audience. Its really like you are talking directly to each one of us. I think that's so important when gaining new subscribers because when people feel that they are valued, they continue to gravitate toward whatever it is that is making them feel good. You have the cutest personality and you seem very confident!

    I use almonds and walnuts to make basil and I also add spinach. I make pesto and put it in a very small container and top w olive oil and freeze for pesto year round. Basil is a hearty producer.

    Everytime you "rearrange", you clean. So, it's nice to know things are not only tidy but sanitary, That was a productive morning!
    FYI. Tomatoes always ripen when you are most busy. We are retired techers and our tomatoes ALWAYS ripened just as school was starting....Not convenient.

    My votes for the orange pair! They really make your eye colour pop! The ombré ones look great but I agree they look a bit wide for you. I’ve been watching your blogs for a bit and absolutely love them. Thank you for sharing your beautiful life with us 💜. Bless.

    Love the music while you were shopping. Moms need girl time I think it helps you know you are not the only one who may have crazy days or days when things just don’t seem to be going right. Also helps the kids see it’s ok to take time for yourself. ❤️

    Nice video! You'd be surprised at how much a man appreciates his families acknowledgement of their B-Day. While they may not SHOW the emotions, the memories add up, and will be sources of joy and comfort and love for the rest of his time in this realm, which I hope is a very long and happy one. TY&TC~

    A great tip I saw a while ago was to store games on their sides so they look more like books… means you an take out whichever one you want rather that realising the one you want is at the bottom so you need to take out the ones above to get it… or run the risk of things falling out as you pull from the bottom of the pile

    We love this--walnuts instead of pine nuts!
    2 c fresh basil leaves, washed and patted dry
    4 garlic cloves
    1 c walnut halves
    1 c olive oil
    1 ¼ c grated parmesan cheese (or part grated romano cheese)
    salt and pepper
    Use a food processor to combine the basil, garlic, and walnuts thoroughly. Keep the motor running, and add the olive oil slowly in a thin stream. Turn off the motor and add the cheese. Process briefly to mix all of the ingredients. Add salt and pepper to taste. Makes about 2 c.

    Super video! I’m a Nana and definitely not young, however, I enjoy your style of organizing. Reminds me of my daughter. She has always been an almost “over the top” organizer. I think it started when she was in high school. You are amazing getting so much done with two littles and another on the way! Considering all the clothing you bought, I think what you paid was very reasonable! I like your glasses frames and I think the amber colored ones look really good on you, plus they’ll be perfect for fall. I’m sure Josh enjoyed his birthday cake! Very pretty!
    Happy Birthday to Josh! 🎂 🎊 🎈🎉 🎂

I sometimes like peanut better fudge type icing . The upstairs play room cabinet rearrange gave me some really good ideas ... The noan bread pesto pizzas look scrumptious & I must make some .. Great vlog day ❣❣❣
