Time to breathe

AHHHHHH! YES!

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!!

HEEEEEEEE HEEEEEE!

My world as of late

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.....

Here we go again

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!
