Hello everyone! Yes Christmas has come and gone and we are now looking 2015 in its face. I can not begin to explain 2014 and how it passed so fast. Oh well I am only in this world for the time allowed and how ever God wants to control the time is fine with me. After all its all in favor of Him and in my best interest. I took some pictures of a couple of my girls and their significant other and children.
Charlie, Oscar and my grandbabies
Equilla and her boyfriend Chris
Selena and Macayla was not much into the photo mood.
For Christmas I got a new camera and I can not wait to take pics with it and do my videos. You guys will have to let me know what you guys think.
So, 2015... never thought we would have gotten this far in this world. I thought by this time we would see flying cars and living like the Jetsons. I know we are some where close but we still have a ways to go to be that far into the future.
As for videos I have not felt much into recording. I thought for sure I was going to do this kind of video or that kind and if they do not come out the way I like or feel they do not get published. If my videos are not truth and honestly me I can not put them out there. If they are not something I feel you guys would watch I will not put them out there. Is anybody else like that?
My goal for 2015 is to be a better You Tuber, better blogger, healthier and more organized. Just have to find what works for me and not be so scattered and all over the place.
I am planning to do a couple of videos in the next couple of days. One video will be about my New Years resolution and my yearly favorites. Please let me know if you have any request. Thanks
Hello everyone! I hope this finds everyone well. I have been MIA for longer than I wanted to be. I have been under the weather and fighting spiritually. I have plans to do a video (hopefully) of what is going on and to explain a little more. That is if I am released (from God) to do so. Something's are better left unsaid. I have been trying to catch up on watching YouTube videos and some of the ladies I love to watch are on it and just popping out those videos. My phone alerts me and tells me when some of my favorite ladies upload and as usual I am out and about and can not see it, it goes unnoticed and I end up behind. If you want to check these beautiful ladies tell them I sent you and subscribe to them. They are so talented and inspiring.
1. At home with Nikki
2. Be my guest with Denise
3. Do it on a dime
4. Haute on a design
5.living luxuriously for less
6. My so-called home
7. That not so ordinary housewife
8. Kandee Johnson
9. Kisha Jaggers
10. Kristen Gehm (vlogs) Bob is great too
11. Paper & Glam
12. How Jen does it
13.Modiva
and so many more.....
If you go to my channel I believe you can see all the people I am subscribed to. I am still getting to know some of the ladies, I do know how ever most of these ladies are Christian or believers. That is encouraging. Some of the ladies will proclaim and announce it loud and clear their beliefs and Gods word, which I love!
Anyways, I have been trying to use my creative juices in Christmas decorating. I watch a lot of these ladies and they share their homes ( which a lot of them are gorgeous and breathe taking) and I get inspired. I will start with something then watch a video from one of them, then the next thing I know I am redoing my home décor. For example my living room was blue, green, brown and tan. Yeah a mixture of colors I know... but I have found my groove... I love elegant. Cream, golds, silver, and I think my accent color, most likely brown. Being my tan is more of a cream I guess. I put all my blue stuff in my bedroom and I need to put everything in their place. Like pillows, curtains and some knick knacks. I love decorating, I just do not always have the money to do everything I want. I would like to see designing and decorating on the major cheap, to the point of taking what I have and refurbishing it. I have been working on that, just taking a while. I am a right now type of gal. I do not like to wait at all. I am learning but I like to see the after effects right after I think of it, you know?
Anyways, I have been thinking of my new years resolution. I will do a video of it soon and I hope you guys will chime in what you guys have planned and what you would like to change or improve for the new year. I think me doing a video will hold me more accountable....at least I hope. LOL
Here is my last video and I hope you guys like it. Be sure to check out my you tube channel and subscribe. Plus come back here and check out more detail about what is going on with this gal.
So if you guys have been watching my videos you guys may know that the lovely Hilary from My so called home tagged me to do another $5 Goodwill challenge. I was honored that she thought of me. I wish I felt better to make it look better, but like I said previously I do a lot of redoing on my décor. Here is the video to that.
I also did a video on a very HUGE Dollar Tree haul. I got stocking stuffers. I was accompanied by my daughter Macayla.
Plus my daughter Selen
a and I have done our second video on monthly favorites. I love doing videos with my kids. They are a hoot.
I did a DITL week in review. The ending was with my girls acting very random as always. My daughter Equilla joined us.
I hope you guys enjoy these last few videos. Each one of these beautiful ladies have a channel on You Tube. They are nervous on it and do struggle to keep it going, but if you guys could go there and encourage them and subscribe I would greatly appreciate it.
You can find their channel name at the end of some of these videos.
Thanks so much for coming back and I will have more videos coming to you soon.
Can anyone else believe that the year is almost over? I am floored at how fast time has passed. That may explain why I feel like I can never get anything accomplished. Time just flies by and I seem to get further and further behind. I sit here looking across my living and dining room floor and see Christmas decorations. Christmas tree is up and decorated.... yet lopsided. Totes with other ornaments and what knots all. Man I hate going through this creative numbness. I can not seem to find my creative mojo to be satisfied and complete. This is so unlike me. I have been recording videos just not uploading due to this funk I am in. I sit and watch the videos and feel like, "No way is that going up! It looks awful!"
I painted the jack and jill bathroom and got it partly decorated. I tell you, I can not seem to finish one job without doing others. GRRRRR! That is one of my biggest pet peeves, to have too many projects going on at the same time. Example:
1. Jack and Jill bathroom decorations
2. Office decorated
3. Glam room redecorated
4. Paint kitchen and backroom
5. Decorate kitchen and backroom
6. Redecorate master bath
7. Finish decorating master bedroom
8. Finish retro vanity
9.Finish antique dresser
10. Paint hutch
11. Reupholster dining chairs
12. Paint dining room table
13. Change coffee table into ottoman
14. ETC....
I am sure there is more but these are the things that I think of tackling daily. This does not include organizing the things that get unorganized in my home or the daily cleaning I have to tackle. You know I can not wait until next year. 2015 is going to be different for me. Yet again why should I procrastinate about the change and just do it now. I guess because I feel I am over my head and I am hoping that I can get some of these things knocked out of the way before then. Yeah wishful thinking but I am in hope.
So did everyone enjoy their Thanksgiving (if you celebrate it) ? I had a nice time. Spent time with family and friends. Took some photos. Here are a few:
My granddaughters Arianna and Jessina
My son n law Oscar and my daughter Charlie
All four of my girls Charlie, Equilla, Selena and Macayla
My daughters mean the world to me and I thank God for them. Then my wonderful husband Jeff.
He helped clean the house why I did the cooking. He is such a blessing to me.
Well, I am learning on how to better this blog and make it more presentable. If you guys have any suggestions and or ideas please let me know. I am not sure who is reading or not but I appreciate you stopping by. Please check me out on Facebook and Instagram. I try to update on there a little more than I use to. Please leave a comment if you have any questions. Thanks so much for stopping by and STAY ENCOURAGED!
Hello everyone! So are you hanging in there? Are you ready for Thanksgiving? That is if you celebrate it.... I am almost there. I have a few things to get still. So... I have been MIA lately. Now although I may not get on here as much as I should I do think about it daily. My intentions are good but I do not want to just get on here and ramble about things that are not interesting...you know? I have been trying to take more pictures to share on here...so hopefully that will interest you. I have painted my jack and jill bathroom FINALLY!!! Be looking for a video on that soon. I painted it but I want to do some more decorating to it. I am still working on my vanity I just had to take a break from it for a minute due to holidays and being busy. I hate starting something and not being able to finish it right away, but life calls and I have to answer. In my last blog I made a TO DO list and it was an epic fail. LOL... I did do some of it, just not the parts that should have been done that were of more importance. I mentioned start dieting. Well I am not going to lie and sugar coat or use excuses. I did not start one and I did not plan a exercise routine. I have been delivered from failure and expectations that I think I can do on my own. God made it real to and I know that if Satan got me into something by my own power I can not get myself out. I depend on God and not a magic pill. I depend on Jesus not DO IT ON MY OWN fake attitude. I depend on the Holy Spirit to lead me not the lies I have come into agreement with. I did however begin to pray differently before I eat. I ask for God to do more than just bless the food but let the food be filling to the body. I find it now where I get full now on the plate I prepared before me and it is no more or no less than what I have given myself. The Holy Spirit did make it known to me that certain foods are my drug. You have alcoholics and drug addicts to street drugs and so on. I am addicted to certain foods. When you find yourself full but you can not seem to stop eating what tastes good there is a problem. When you walk away from the table and feel miserable and heavy, there is a problem. When you are so full it hurts, there is a problem. I could go on and on, but you guys get the idea. The Holy Spirit has also made it known to me that it is not a drug I need. I need a life change. Dieting has not worked for me. So I am making subtle changes and praying for the Holy Spirit to lead, Jesus to heal me, and God to do all that I can not. I am only human and I am not ashamed to admit that I fall short. I just now realize and understand that doing anything on my own will only cause me to waste too much time striving in my own strength and not depending and relying on my Savior. I do plan to make a list of things I want to see accomplished in 2015. I just am not going to condemn myself if they are not done. Plus I am only going to make a list of things that I know I am able to do and I know God has planned for me. So this is at the point of my blog I ask for you guys to hang in there with me as I allow God to direct me and do the things HE has planned for me. I pray this finds you doing well and be safe for the Thanksgiving holiday. Oh and as for black Friday... remember those things you are planning to go and purchase and possibly be feeling angry and rude towards other people about may not be worth it if the things you are getting will end up either broke, damaged, no longer of interest before next year. There are gifts out there that are worth more and have a lot more value and that is you, your time, and even a home made gift. Think about what a person is requesting and what maybe more valuable to them. Something can not be broken, damaged or tossed to the side because it is no longer of interest. Until next time my people.... Stay encouraged!
Hello everyone! I am opening this blog in a great mood and happy!!!! It maybe a little later at night but that is okay, I am enjoying watching tv as my husband is cat napping and watching Netflix. I started my Week in Review vlog today and so far so good. My kids are enjoying it...strange but true. They are so supportive though. My last blog had some sad news but I have decided not to let that come into my future. Sad things can last a long time if you allow it. I am not coming into agreement with that nonsense and not allowing it to continue to steal my joy! I am a child of God and being a daughter of the King I am destined to GREATNESS! Anyway, I have decided to start posting my week schedule on here and hopefully it will help me be more accountable. I do not know....we will see if it will work. So here we go.

Well there is just a few things I can think of off the top of my head. My planner always has more detail. If you have any questions please feel free to ask.
I did forget to mention I am looking into finding a new recipe to make at least once a week.
A lot going on along with a lot of changes. I have decided to go on a diet this week and some people may think it is a bad time because its so close to the holidays. I do not plan to deprive myself of those things I love, just limit myself, so I do not disappointment myself. Keep me in prayer. I would do a weight video, but I am disgusted with my weight and do not care to share my embarrassment. I will after I have lost a nice amount. Come on don't we all do that. I at one time was close to be on Biggest Loser but I am afraid to travel alone to unfamiliar places. I will but I get very anxious. Anyway, this is just a out look of what is going to take place this week. Keep me in prayer because it will be a struggle. Thanks.
I come to you from this side of my heart, where I am sheltering it and comforting it. I dedicate this is to you Uncle Dale. From your favorite niece.
On November 1,2014 I lost my Uncle to alcohol abuse. It destroyed his liver but it didn't take his heart. He had his struggles and up until a few years ago he gave his life to Jesus. When I was a child I remember his attitude about God was agnostic. He came close to dying on more than one occasion. He just never gave credit to God for saving him.
Now that he has passed I can only assume he went home to God. He accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior when Uncle Dale was serving time for his abuse on alcohol and making bad choices while under the influence. No matter how much he tried he just could not stay away from that poison for long. He would have a dry spell, but turn back to it. I know he hated it, I would see him struggle with shakes from withdraws.
I am angry in this though and it is mostly because of how I found out and when I found out he had passed. I chose not to share but use what has happened as a stone for me to step on and move on. I will no longer be a victim to what has happened and the decisions that people decided to make to tell me. I will however make choses on my relationship with others.
So to you Uncle Dale, I love you and will hole on to the memories of you and I laying out in the sun, you throwing me in the air at the beach and catching me just before I went under the water, you paying me to go to the dry cleaners to drop off or pick up your clothes, and me sneaking into your bedroom and taking your records and cassettes of Michael Jackson, Heart, Willie Nelson and Air Supply. I will never forget the positive words you spoke to me, to encourage me. I will never forget you trying to protect me from people that were hurting me, whether it was verbal or threats of physical abuse. You protected me. I love you and thank you for the role you played in my life God has given me.
Now on to a different note. I have uploaded two videos with my two daughters, Selena and Macayla.
One of the videos is the first ones I ever done. It was Selenas idea to do the video. I hope you guys like it. It may become a usual.
Macayla wanted to do a video with me as well so we did a haul together, but she pretty much sat there. It is the worst video I have done. We look a mess, the sun went down, and the batteries kept dying on me. So instead of starting over and doing it better and looking better, I want you all to know I struggle sometimes, but I still want to be there for ya'll. It helped me to look at something about me that I need to change.... be looking for a video about it. Time to be really real.
I will be taking more pictures and sharing my daily life but it will be week in review vlogs and pictures to go along with it. I think a good camera will be my next big purchase, being my husband got me a lap top to help with uploading. My old computer just was not going to cut it.
I have also plans to blog my schedule on here...or at least tempt to. Hopefully every Sunday night, fingers crossed.
Well I pray that this finds you guys doing well and thank you for stopping by. Your support means more than you know. As always STAY ENCOURAGED!!!
Hello everyone! There has been a lot going on. October has left with some bad and good times. I celebrated, mourned, laughed and cried. I did a mixture of it all. I did manage to do some videos, but then my computer went cu put and my wonderful husband bought me a new lap top. Still trying to figure it out. In the beginning of October my ex sister in law passed and I had a lot of respect for her. She was buried on October 17th...my birthday.
So it was hard to celebrate with that in my heart and mind. Then a few days later I received a phone call from my aunt in Florida telling me my uncle has only a few weeks to live. Sad.... that is all I can say. Not heartless...more angry than anything. Long story and not one I care to reflect on at this time.
I celebrated my three year anniversary with the love of my life. He has out done his self when he loves me through all my ups and downs, ins and outs. He has stepped to the plate of this relationship and has taken a swing at anything that has tried to hurt me or shorten my life. He is the love of my life (besides Jesus Christ). Jeff I love you more than I thought I could and more than I can explain. Thank you for loving me baby and supporting me in all that I do.
I did do a video on our Happy Marriage
and a fall tag
I did a video on my puppy Tippy playing with a red light. It was hilarious.
He just suffered a seizure, but he is okay now.
As always I am trying to do better at this blog. I am going to start listing my plans for videos on here so you will be updated of what to look for and then there will be surprise videos that I will post.
Okay question of the night.... Has anyone ever seen the show Freak show? If you have not and are thinking of it, I suggest not to watch it while watching it. OOOOOOHHHH WEEEE not right!!!! Anyways, my husband started watching it and I seen him cringe, so I got interested. Is anyone excited to watch the new Hunger Games coming out this month? Oh yeah I am so excited!
I have another question... would you guys be interested in seeing monthly favorites from me? I can do video and blog it? Let me know by commenting below. Appreciate it.
So I hope this finds you highly favored and blessed. I hope to have more to say that will be more encouraging and up lifting, Hey even the most encouraging and joyful person has a down day. Thanks for stopping in....
Hello everyone! I pray that this finds you all blessed and highly favored. I thought I would dedicate this blog to my coffee and tea drinkers. I admit I am definitely hooked line and sinker. I wake up with it and go to bed with it. That may explain the trouble I have sleeping. SMH.
I did a video today on our coffee and tea station I have here at the house. I have had this station on every counter in my kitchen. I just can not seem to find the proper place but right where I have it. I am going to miss this counter space when we get ready to move. Which will be in the near future, if it is in Gods will. OR....maybe I will find a home with as much space as I have here.
Here is the video I done. I hope you enjoy it.
Now we are tea drinkers here as well. We love our tea at night mostly...at least that is true for myself. I will be doing some organizing videos next and a DITL. I am getting the paint I need to makeover the jack and jill bath. I plan to upload the new office and new makeup room as well. So a lot will be coming to you just bare with me. Thanks for your support and as always stay encouraged!
Hello everyone! How are you guys enjoying the sound of the crunching leaves, the beautiful colors of fall, the fall fragrances and flavors? I love the change but hate the cold!!! If I could experience seeing and being in all four seasons but not deal with the cold, I would be one happy camper. Just saying... So I did not do too much recording this week. Dealing with my in-law over getting ready for a garage sale and grading for the girls progress reports. It has been quiet testy around here. I am trying to lean on God and His strength as much as possibly, but my tongue is another thing. I out burst to my poor husband when he is innocent. Thank God he is understanding and listens to my out bursts. I did however record a video on a dessert that my daughter Macayla done. I just assisted. Here is the video.
She did a great job. My other daughter did a New York cheese cake but would not allow me to record or be in the kitchen for that matter. Oh well... It is quiet an easy recipe if you want to do it with small kids. I did record a haul video, I just never uploaded it. It was extremely long and it cut me off. Maybe I will add another haul to it and make a two part. I added a new tab to my blog page here called "Welcome to our home" which I will be updating soon with videos and pictures of my actual home. The picture on there is a dream...lol Well this is the end of my blog tonight. I am quiet weary and need to be with Jesus before I act in my anger about things that I can not control, but want to. As always stay encouraged and thanks for your support. XOXO
Hello everyone! It is finally fall! I love fall but despise the cold. I sit here with cold feet and regretting to have to put on slippers and or socks on. I love to be close to bare foot as I possibly can be. Well I finally redid my fall decoration in my home and I have to say I am some what pleased. At least better than before. I had a disgusting mess on my hands before. The acorns I used in my candle vases gave little tiny flies and worms in the bottom. I could not figure out for the life of me where them flies were coming from. I had mentioned about this before in my videos and possibly here on my blog, but I am warning you guys again. Be careful!!!
Here is the video of my fall home decor update. Let me know what you guys think and if you see something that I could change.
I love decorating and changing things up to give it a different look. I love to be challenged it too. Because I will grab a can of spray paint in a heart beat. My husband thinks I have an obsession with changing things. He would like to leave some things the way they are and I am like,"No way cant you just imagine the way it would look if I did this or that." I win sometimes... He can be pretty cool about it. Like this hutch for example, that I have shown in my past videos, he would like to leave it the way it is, but I do not like it that way. I may want to paint it and fix it then maybe sale it. Refurbishing furniture is really hot in my area. Plain wood furniture is kind of played out, so people are into that sheek and rustic look. Anyway, I am into all kinds of stuff. I like Bohemian, modern, retro, some country, and so on and so on. It is hard to chose just one style. That is why if you were to come into my home I have a mixture. It is not like extremely bad. I wish I could be more like At Home With Nikki or Be My Guest (Denise) or even Haute on Design... the list goes on. I love their style and the way they decorate their home. It just fills me with so much joy to see things like that. If you do not know these women..you better ask somebody cause these women are the BOMB! And I love them. They are inspiring and women of God. They excite me with new ideas and passion for change.
Well I got a winner for my giveaway. She contacted me and I will be sending her the package this week. I was so happy that she is excited to get her prize. You hear this from a lot of people and I know what they mean when they say it, "I wish I could give something to all of you guys." Because that rings true in my heart. I love each and everyone of you guys. Thank you guys for your support and love. It means a lot. So I believe I made this love enough. I pray that this finds you encouraged and healthy. Praying for you always!
Hello everyone! I pray that this finds you doing well. Sorry for the long pause. If its not one thing its another around here. I am still battling illness, but I am a fighter, as well as the blood of Jesus that I know covers and heals me. Anyway... I am happy to announce that I have over 100 subscribers on You Tube. I currently have a giveaway going on there so be sure to check it out. You have still a little time to get in. Sorry its US only. I can not afford international right now, I will as soon as I can though. Here is the video
Yes that is my baby Ivan. I will be doing a blog on my pets soon. Be watching for that.
My life as of late has been so-so. Illness with my husband and I, then home schooling two of my girls, organizing a few things, and now fall stuff. I did a Fall $5 challenge. I was challenged by My So-Called Home (Hillary) to buy only $5 worth from a thrift store that reminded me of fall. Well I did and I did the video to that as well. Here is the video:
To be honest I was not thrilled with the out come of some of the decorations. Especially after what happened with the acorns. I was disgusted. So fair warning if you use acorns in your home decor be sure to bake them at 250 (at least that is what I was told) and I can not remember for how long either. I did wash them of course but I was watching a lady on You Tube named How Does Jen Do It and she was the one that mentioned how to do it. Anyhoo, I had to dump them because I had little flies everywhere and little white worms in the bottom of my vases. GROSS!!! That is okay though, it caused me to rethink my whole decor anyways. So I will be doing a fall home decor video. Be looking for that in the near future. I will be doing the videos that have been requested on my giveaway video and answering questions too. I also have plans to do videos on my new office and makeup room(that I guess I could call a boutique, being that its about me in there). If there is something particular you would like to see or know leave a comment in the comment section below or shoot me an email. I will be getting a P.O.box soon so if you guys would like to write me a letter to make it more personal or whatever, I will have one up and I will write you back. I love letters, I think they are more personal and develop a better contact, but email is good too. If you know what I mean... Either way I would love to hear from you.
I can not express how much I appreciate you guys reading my blog and watching my videos. The support you guys show is amazing and I appreciate each one of you TRULY FROM THE BOTTOM OF THIS SUBURBAN HOUSEWIFE/MOTHER HEART. I would hug each one of you guys if I could. I love each one of you very much and think about you guys daily. No matter how far apart we are or how often or less often I am able to blog or video I am thinking of you guys.
Well I guess that is enough of my rambling for today. I just wanted to touch base with you and let you know what has been going on and to let you know that I love you and appreciate each one of you. Until then my friends.... STAY ENCOURAGED!!
Hello everyone! Thank you so much for stopping in to read what has been going on as of late. I have doing a lot of videos lately. I was tagged to do a video by Hilary (My so-called home). I was tagged to do a $5 Goodwill challenge and I was just ecstatic that someone thought of me. Simple minded I know but I appreciate that sort of thing. Anyways, I did the video and I am not really impressed with the out come of it because I think it could have been better. I did not put much thought or time into finding something to decorate my home. Lately I have been doing a lot of renovating and changing things so my home is not as glamorous as I would want it to be. I see how some of the people that were also tagged by Hilary and how they have decorated I feel so... whats the word for trashy. Now I know I am renovating and I should not compare. I should just concentrate on what I am trying to accomplish and think of the after and no the present. Then I see how many views I have and it is petty compared to people who have theirs on there, but then I know I should not compare. God has me and I can only pray I inspired someone. Here is the video I done but mind you my home is in the process of change...so is a lot of furniture.
I hope you guys enjoy and bare with me. A lot of things I am trying to change. My husband is not in for change but I love it. I also did a planner video to show how many planners I use and for what purposes. I use my generic (what I call it) filofax for You tube and my blog.
Please understand I am really trying to improve on my blogs and videos. SO please be kind.
Here is my personal planner that I use to keep tabs of things i want to do for the home, family, appointments and that sort of thing.
I call this my generic Erin Condron. I love this thing. I paid around $10 for it from Walmarts and it has everything. I love the set up as well. My generic filofax is called a Day Runner. I paid $17.99 after all my rebates. It was on sale from $25.99. SO I was happy.
Then I have two other planners that I use one for each of my girls for home school.
I love how I have enough room to write down the girls curriculum. They also have organizers that they have to keep up with and make sure they are doing their work. Some people may thing that maybe too many planners but I feel it is a necessity. I do not leave home with out my generics. They go with me every where and the other two stay on my desk to keep track of the school work I have assigned. Here is the video for you to get a better look of what I do on the inside.
As always I will continue to stay encouraged and I pray that you do too. I will continue organizing, decorating, and doing me with God on my side. Until next time.....
Hello everyone! I hope this finds you all doing well and encouraged. I have been accomplishing a lot around here. From office painting to painting a dresser to homeschooling my two girls, Selena and Macayla. I have been trying really hard to get videos up for ya'll. Today I tried to record my planner video and an introduction to my Youtube channel, but as always either interuptions, lighting and now batteries. GRRRRR! I did however get three posted in the past few days for you to check out. I will list them below.
Dollar Tree Haul and a lot of randomness with my girls.
Walmart Haul with more randomness from the same girls.
This is a redone dresser that I spontaneous done. I did not plan on it at all. I did enjoy doing it. I learned from this one. Trial and error you could say.
My puppy dogs even got to get on camera. They are such camera hogs.LOL
I started homeschooling my two youngest girls a week ago and it is definitely time consuming. I would not give it up though.
How many are still sadden by the death of Robin Williams?My heart was broken and still in shock. Joan Rivers is the latest and I am sad by it but not surprised. I always heard that it comes in the multiple of three. Wow how sad.
Anyway, I am proud to announce as of this date ( the last time I checked) I have 71 subscribers. I am over joyed. I appreciate each and everyone that takes the to either watch me on YouTube or even read my blog. I want to THANK EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!!!!
Some people do not think of it as a big deal having that many subscribers. Me.... I am EXSTATIC!!!!
I would love it if you would let me know if there is something you would like to see me do a video or blog on. I enjoy hearing from you guys and I will try my hardest to blog more often. As always stay encouraged! Until then love you!
I want to apologize for taking so long in getting back on here and sharing. It has been a roller coaster ride around here. I just got my college daughter moved out into her own apartment and half way settled in. I am trying to redo my soon to be new office/ recording room. Look for a video on that. I did plenty of DIY's for my daughters new place and if you follow me on Instagram you may have seen them. Now I get a phone call from my Aunt who has just came in from Florida and she wants to hang out with me for a day. UGH! I have a dentist appointment for a root canal (not looking forward to it) and I need to get the weeds pulled out from in front of my house. Can anybody explain to me how so much can happen in such a short time. Plus my college daughter wants me to help her decorate her apartment before the Mary Kay party she is throwing. Oh and did I mention I babysit my youngest granddaughter Monday -Friday? I think I am trying to fly this without a cape. My husband has been working over like crazy and I am running around here like a chicken with my head cut off. I sit down and do nothing because my mind is so overwhelmed. Now my husband tells me not to worry about my Aunt. HAHAHA. I come from a line of women that house cleaned and if you walked into their home it was spotless. My Grandmother (whom was a house cleaner) use to say, " I don't care what expensive things you have in your home. If your floors and windows are dirty, your whole house is dirty. It makes those nice things worth nothing." She also was big on beds being made and quarters bouncing on them. I am the fourth generation that I know of that cleaned for a living. SO yes I am concerned at what my house looks like. Not that my family are judgmental, I just know how a crooked picture can be distracting and the desire to get up and straighten it. I guess a form of perfectionism and yes it is hereditary. My daughters fuss at me for coming in their room and pointing on the smallest thing, but I am learning. Well since I got my college daughter off on her new adventure I am hoping we get along better. We misunderstand each other a lot and I am the first to admit that I will not always allow her to finish what she wants to say without jumping in and assuming or jumping to my defense before she can finish. She does it too. SO I know where she gets part of it from. Enough of me rambling on about my family and myself. I recorded that apple cinnamon roll dessert...or at least I thought. I recorded nothing but the counter. UGH! Talk about aggravating! So now I have to go back to the store tomorrow and get the ingredients again. I may have to put it on a taller tri pod and from a different angle. Then the part with me the lighting was so off it was crazy. I just hope everyone bares with me as I get through this malfunction. I am trying to figure out a good day to record and the perfect place. That is one of the reasons for putting my office in another room cause it is in front of the house and I can have better lighting to record. Oh boy my husband said he would help me with the taping tonight. Bless his heart. Let me get off of here before he changes his mind. I will be doing a video of the transformation so be watching. Thanks for hanging out with me and listen to me rant. My last two videos http://youtu.be/G_t1u-pMVJM?list=UUoVmEtu1eXqjf-1CvjqVnrA http://youtu.be/G_t1u-pMVJM?list=UUoVmEtu1eXqjf-1CvjqVnrA
