A few trouble-spots to work on still but thats the LEAST of my concern... So proud of this project! Let me know what you think!
I can DEFINITELY RELATE!! Even after my injury when I was in a wheelchair for several months, I was like I can do it. Just hold me up😂🤣🤣. Now, I know how 🤪 I sounded. It's ok to want to learn and do as much as you can. But it's ok to accept help too. It's a tough lesson that I am still learning!!! Take pride sister you did that! Most ppl wouldn't be able to do what you have accomplished. Stay blessed and highly favored. Job well done!
Did you also fertilize the grass?
I’m 50 yrs old and by myself because I never learned to accept help, ask for help, or even take a compliment. That is the common complaint from my ex’s 😂. Knowing is half the battle and great that you have figured it out early. As for the grass, you can buy grass plugs that are already cut and can fit in the bare spots. You can also use 3 in 1 fertilizer for southern lawns. There is also green paint with fertilizer to cover the bare spots. And for the mulch you can recolor and revitalize it with a sprayer until you change to rocks. YT has a ton of videos on painting mulch. 😊
You did an awesome job I say take some turf paint and spray paint it green until you can reseed it
Awesome start to finish I was watching your video and this commercial came on about this liquid called Sunday the you hook directly up to the water and it showed the before and after you can google it and see just shared information
Gurrrl!! You are such a determined individual . You be wearing me out , just watching you with all these different projects I be feeling like give me half your drive I might be able to get things done. I am so proud of you you have such a nice home. May God give your body good health and strength to keep going and may that lawn grow plush and vibrant.
Right!
You said it best! She is so inspiring and makes me want to do more!!!!
Thank you so much! I appreciate it
I’m proud of you too!
I applaud 👏 you!!!! I'm glad you accepted the help offered. It does not take away from all the work you put in.
Shanda - my soul sista. I was sitting on my garage floor yesterday, putting together a canopy I bought last year (don't judge me) and thinking, THIS is why people get married...lol. I was so over it! I've been single more than not, so I'm used to doing everything by myself. But that canopy?!? Nah yo, it is doing me in. I need at least two other people. I got a little sad and began feeling sorry for myself. Then - I watched this video. There is so much I have to do on my own as a new home owner. BUT, there is so much I don't have to do! Because I have new construction, the builder comes and fixes any big issue, including completely resoding my front AND back yard. I had no idea the cost or the burden if I had to do it myself. You opened my eyes to how blessed I am. Lord, I'm sorry for being ungrateful - I'm extremely blessed! And I thank Him for using you to remind me of that. Thank you for sharing. 🙏🏽 💛 🙏🏽
LOLOL You sitting on that floor has been me many time lol and Im glad this helps you in any way!
You did do that sis, you research found out what you needed and you prep everything and God saw fit to send someone your way. He know just how much we can bare and then he does stuff like this. Won't he do it. I had to stop the vdo just to type this. Gurl, I was the same way. It's hard out here for pimp when the HOA got spending money for the look of it all. You did that. Take accountability for it. I am so glad there are people who see a need and reach out. It so hard to accept. When he sends it, accept it. Love you girl.😁😁Hang up the hat. At least you won't have to workout. That's it, That's all. It turned out great, looks good.
Thank you so much luv, I really appreciate that
GIRL!!! I went through this SAME issue with my grass!! I'm a new homeowner too and I hate spending money on things I can do myself lol. Try grass feed. Get a spreader and water it. It will help the patches. Thank me later! lol (I used weed and feed, I had bad weeds, but it grew my grass perfectly)
🌺Thank you luv🤍
You used Scott’s weed and feed? I swore I had grass but half of it is weeds! Help!!
@@sexyshyscorpio yes. It works wonders. My lawn is thick and full now.
Don't put any type of weed killer on new Sod. Just continue to water regularly, and feed with a slow release type of fertilizer. 24-0-10 and water will make it pop. Good job. What you did was not easy.
Bruh, tell me why I'm getting emotional at this video?! Jeez lol! But yes ma'am, I'm totally the same way about independence. I followed your videos as I was starting my home search. Even though I was approved by NACA, I didn't use them only because how the market is and available homes in my area. I moved into my new home 3/28 and everything has been on my own. It's so hard to accept help and it sounds so weird, but it's definitely a thing. I'm learning though. My tip is to just keep trying to say yes when someone genuinely offers and say thank you. The universe sees your effort and will send you who and what you need sometimes. And here's another way to look at....don't deny someone's opportunity to do something good so THEY can be blessed as well. Keep making us proud suga!
YES to all of that... but Gotta keep at it because its what we DESERVE 🌺Thank you luv🤍
Girl!!! You did that! See this is why I'm happy to be apart of your gang. You are so inspiring with your "let me save my coins and try this!" That is me all day and I appreciate you for showing us the journey from start to finish. This was a big job and I may have been a little too scared to try it and wouldn't have known what all goes into it, so I so appreciate you! I hope your grass is thriving. Ain't nothing like having a freshly mowed lawn with the edge up. And I bet it feels so much more rewarding knowing you did the sodding. 💪🏾
🌺Thank you luv🤍 Yessss, and Im glad youre here too!
I love the neighborhood I moved into because my neighbor is like yours they ask if I need help and I don’t mind saying yes help me. My neighbor looks out after my home, he cuts my grass and I pay him $20 bucks. I’m so appreciative, caring for...making a house into a home is a lot of work. Just because I didn’t finis a project doesn’t mean I didn’t do it. He laid it for you, you laid for it though and helped assist home so you did that. Don’t be hard on yourself.
Get some compost and rake it into the dead pieces and keep them soaked. It’ll fill in. The grass around it will crawl in too. I fixed patches in my sod like that. Then give the lawn a good dose of pre-emergent and fertilizer. You did a great job! Get a hose timer too so you don’t have to worry about being present for watering.
You DID that!
Because you didn't ASK for help, it was offered to you to show that it's ok to ACCEPT help when it's offered!
It doesn't take away from your strength/independence!
Good job!
What a great neighbor. People want to help those who help themselves. Your neighbors really appreciate that you value your property.
I love seeing a woman care about her lawn as much as I do! 👍🏿👍🏿❤💪🏿💪🏿
My hat off to you girl!!! You are a trooper!!! There’s nothing like good neighbors 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
You go girl🕺🏿you got this! I admire your determination! Just a thought….can’t you”toss” some grass seed onto those “bald” spots? Great job!
You are legit AMAZING!!! I aspire to be as determined, resilient and resourceful as you! I haven’t even finished the video yet but I’m already impressed.
🌺Thank you luv🤍
I can relate to you, it's in my DNA too. But a older person told me a close mouth don't get fed, so when a person asked you if you need help, know that God sent a Angel to help you. Allot of my friends we are all redoing are yard. Makes you appreciate your front yard everytime you drive up to your home. Also I'm fighting cancer and I'm 68 years old and I'm out there trying to get my mulch cleared out so I can put fresh mulch out. God Bless You! Proud Of You... Grandma Teresa
🌺Thank you luv🤍
Think about it this way. When we help other people we get blessed for it. When we allow others to help us they get blessed for it. Good actions don't happen in a vacuum, they have good consequences. Or like my grandma used to say, don't block someone else's blessing 😁 Letting him help you was a good thing!
Girl at this point what can’t you do?! Amazing!
🌺Thank you luv🤍
Hey there
You did a great job. My aunt always says “don’t make me miss my blessings by not allowing me to help” so allowing others to help sometimes is not only a blessing to you but is also blessing them. But I’m like you, I don’t ask I just do and be beat down but proud of my work. I love a green plush lawn and would like to see all those brown spots fill in for you. Keep us updated
🌺Thank you luv🤍
First, know that the way this went down was No accident!! it was absolutely a teachable moment. You were determined as you always are to get what needed to be done,,,,done! However, this man, assuming he was as nice as he sounds kept comin' round offering & truly when you had worked yourself to the bone & honestly needed the help most if you think about it - you acquiesced! Teaching you that it is ok to accept help - that is the first step! You still did the hardest part yourself - no one can take dat away!! Accepting that it IS OK to accept help. Next will be asking for help before you put yourself in the hospital from heat stroke or dehydration. There is NO shame in asking for help - it simply means that you know how take care of self.....knowing that YES< you do have limits & that is OK!! You are not a machine! Self preservation will eventually allow you to ask! That has been my journey. Much Love - You did it as always ❣
Yessss to it all 🌺Thank you luv🤍
You have STRENGTH!!! I saw my neighbors do this and what they did after trying it the way you did it was they dampen the areas with water that needed the work hoe so that it wouldn't be so hard the next day. I showed this to my daughter so she could stop paying the gym, save money from that work-out and put her energy into my back yard! You have inspired her that she can do it!!! Thanks for sharing this.
You should be so proud of yourself. You did an amazing job! The lawn looks healthy and beautiful. As a single homeowner, I am definitely inspired.
🌺Thank you luv🤍 Im glad it helps! #WEAREBEYONDCAPABLE
I have to give props where props are due. You did that and no body can take that away from you. You put your blood, sweat and tears in that lawn and it looks great. Even with the little areas where you still have some brown patches it looks great. Your patience and the hope and faith it took for you to not run back to the store to replace the brown patches said a lot about who you are as a person. You never gave up and trusted that with time, care and persistence everything would pay off, bravos to you. Awesome and very encouraging to watch. Keep up the great work and you deserve to pat yourself on the back for a job well done.
🌺Thank you luv🤍
I can absolutely relate. I’m not ready to hang my hat up yet. Im currently redoing my garage from bare drywall and i think about your garage videos! I hope your grass under the tree takes. I liked the idea of a tree ring. Either way, that was some hard back breaking work and you did it. KUDOS to you!
🌺Thank you luv🤍
I am a few minutes into watching and saying to myself..I have to do better! You are doing the darn thing. Big up to you! Wow!
🌺Thank you luv🤍
Girl I'm so proud of you. I definitely can relate to not knowing when to ask or receive help. Girl those patches are filling in like a newborn baby patchy hair. You just have to keep massaging its little scalp and moisturize and eventually your baby has a head full of luscious hair. 😆
Watch out neighbors cause GW about to have the best curb appeal on the block. Now sit back and watch everyone around you start coming out trying nurture their lawns and gardens 😉
Yep gimmie some time, at first I didnt care now Im invested lololol 🌺Thank you luv🤍
You are as tough as they come, strong and independent, but a little help never hurts!!! You still did the dang thing ma’am, much respect!!!!
🌺Thank you luv🤍
Geez was it that bad? Your HOA is gangsta. Wonder if that ‘concerned’ neighbor is on the HOA board lol. Sod is so expensive, I would’ve created a circle of mulch around that tree. It came out good though
Fantastic job!! As a single woman & homeowner, I can relate to your thought process. I too, struggle with accepting help when asked. Like yourself only when faced with utter exhaustion, I give in to the internal struggle of " they wont do it the way I would do it ...but..". LOL. Thank you for inspiring me to keep doing the work in my yard!
I seriously enjoyed this video because I have my own yard struggles and I desperately want grass without the big ticket prices that I've been getting from landscape companies which is absolutely ridiculous!!!!! Sis, I don't think I'm as brave as you are but I've got to dream BIG and step out of my own way. You are truly my motivation and I luv it! As for your neighbor helping lay the Sod that was God sending you a helping hand because the job you had already completed was a job well done!!!
You did a wonderful job. I understand how hard it is to accept help but like my friends and family tells me "allow others to be a blessing to you". That was really kind of your neighbor. It's best to water your lawn during cool hours(early morning and late evening). If you water when sun is out, it'll just evaporate.
I LOVE it that the neighbor came to help!! 💜 That is community..
Wow you did that! 💚 I also always try to do everything myself. Not because I don’t want or need help but because I don’t want to wait around for someone else to decide to finally help me. Can easily wait forever for most people. Knowing how hard it is, I try to be that person others can rely on, but it is so nice to be on the receiving end. Your neighbor is a sweet guy. 💚🙂 As for mulch, decomposed granite is a great option. I have decorative rocks but wish I would’ve went with that, but I didn’t know what it was until after I started adding decorative rocks.
I don't know you but you really are an inspiration. You remind me of myself, I don't like to ask either and that is my downfall. But you inspire me to try everything on my own and accept help when needed. Keep up the good work, I love how the house is turning out ❤️
🌺Thank you luv🤍
OMG! You are the poster child for determination and grit. I was you but I caution you that as we age, be kinder to your body. I did my own yard work. 5 years ago I had a forearm injury from dragging bags of dirt and 2 years ago had but recovered from sciatica from moving boxes. Accept help and use tools to do the heavy lifting. BRAVO!!
Thank you, I’m know you are 100% right.
OMG, you are an inspiration to us independent single ladies homeowners. You just showed, yes we can.
I'm overwhelmed and I'm just watching 🤦🏾♀️ Let me go back and finish. Much respect Queen!!!
Definitely not meant to overwelm YOU lol , thanks
@@glamorouswallflower well it's overwhelming just thinking of being in this position and I just give you your props for pushing through all of this by YOUR DAMN SELF! You inspired me to get out there and purchase my own home and put the work in and it's soo rewarding!!! Even with that said, your motivation is second to non. I WISH I had your motivation!! I've been in my home for almost 2 years and I bought somewhat of a fixer upper. I love the progress I've made in making my house a home. Thank you so much for your inspiration. It has helped me soooo much with getting to the point I'm at right now! You're an awesome woman!💪🏾👑
You are a truly beautiful young lady and great inspiration. Learn to accept it when you need it, but remember, yes he did the easy part, and you did the hard part, so you STILL DID IT!!! Great job by the way. I'm learning what to do with my new home. Especially for my back yard. Keep up the wonderful and great work.
I totally understand you, I really do. You did an amazing job. Keep it up. Learning to ask for help when you are used to doing it yourself will get better. May GOD continue to Bless you.
Girl I’m stunned! I would have given up a while back and just slabbed some good artificial turf on and called it a day. You go girl be proud of your work!!
Yass - you did that like a boss yo!!
Thanks for the update - all your hard work paid off. Accepting help doesn't take away from all you have done!
Have a wonderful week Suga
🌺Thank you luv🤍 you too
You have inspired me! Black girl rocks! You did that...
Lady you are truly an inspiration. And saving money anyway you can is key, i ain't mad at you. Keep up the good work. And keep them videos coming.
Listen you still definitely DID THAT! I admire your grit and determination! The lawn looks awesome!
Bravo to you, ma'am! There is NO WAY I would have done this myself. It is backbreaking work. You did an AWESOME job!
Girl I needed this my back yard looks horrible n I'm like I just can't be doing this by myself n sod Is so expensive.. your video definitely gave me some motivation.. thank you ❤️... the yard looks professionally done you are Awesome... give it time keep being persistent it seems to be grwoung in nicely in some of those spots...that was so nice of your neighbor... I can absolutely relate to not wanting to ask for help I have not completely unlearned it yet but my only tip is I fins people u completely trust not to throw the help back I'm my face or want anything in return n I start with them when practicing asking for help. Yes to the hopeful Front lawn I love it
This was a very huge undertaking. You did a great job. Whoever the guy was that helped, Thank goodness for him. I totally understand how you feel with doing things on your own. That is something I struggle with as well. Prayes of strength and growth with letting go sent your way!! Keep up the great work!!
I tip my hat to you lady! You took on this project by yourself, and you busted it out! Don’t worry about the little stuff, with some TLC it will be popping soon, great job!
Good job. So glad you allowed the gentleman to help you. I get wanting to tackle it yourself though.
Omgg I understand something I've learned is if Someone as to help you let them!! Because one girl it is not often people offer to help and he was so nice and persistent to keep coming by . All in all girk you did that !!!
Yessssss to Hopes and possibilities ( zooms in on the driest patch to find the littlest piece of green grass). I love how optimistic you are. Your lawn is looking very nice.
If no one has said it I am proud of you. YOU DID THAT. Not only did you do the lawn but you took the help. As black women we have to learn to take the S off our chest because it's okay to accept help. The first step is doing it. I struggle with this myself but learned over the last year help is a blessing in itself. Take it as it comes. One day at a time.
🌺Thank you so much luv🤍
You did that❗️You should be proud…great job👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾❗️
i am so proud of you…i am a single homeowner a diyer, and a yard fanatic…u go girl…i bought grass seeds and threw on the problem patches, lol
Good job 👏🏾. Don’t feel bad about being too “independent” it’s not realistic to go through life thinking you can do it all. We as human beings are meant to help each other out along this journey called life. I’ve found out the hard way being too independent can make for a tough and lonely life.
I can't believe that I was invested in watching your grass update. You did a good job. Just continue watering and the patches will fill in. If not, then use grass seed instead of digging up the patches. It was nice of your neighbor to help you. We know you could've completed laying down the sod by yourself but sometimes we need to take people up on their offerings.
🌺Thank you luv🤍
There's no St Augustine grass seed. The good thing is even if you do nothing, the patches will fill in eventually.
Wonderful job! You were determined and you delivered...labor of hard work, the results should make you proud.
Girl you did great!!!👍🏾 @ 21:30 or thereabout I started to cry cause I can so relate to the 'independence' thing and 'not knowing how to ask for help'; the pride is so real. God knows I ain't reached there yet, work-in-progress!
It was inspiring as always to watch you do the thing from start to finish. You might still have patches but they are certainly not squares anymore! 👊🏾👍🏾🌹God bless you!!
You are amazing, gardening is a JOB. HOAs suck. 14 days? What if you were not physically capable? All the best to you for taking this on in such a positive way. I am glad you neighbour helped you. There isn’t enough of that these days. You did do it, you just needed that support at the end this is you, be proud of it.
I haven't finished the video yet and I just have to say this. YOU GO GIRL!!!! You are super human.
Lady, Lady, Lady….. accept the help! 😁😁However, I feel you on all levels of independence.
Honey this is my first time seeing your video and I am so proud of you. I to am so independent but you have motivated me to get my outdoor project going. I'm 65 and ready for my patio and flowers. Fantastic job.
Great job! Even greater determination. Re-tool some self inherited traits and you'll be even more unstoppable. Judging by your neighbor and the HOA requirements it looks like you have a decent community you live in which is a blessing. Don't be afraid to embrace the full magnitude of how fortunate and brilliant you are.
Talk about Blood, Sweat, Tears & Sciatica 😫😕Seriously Glam, YOU ARE THE BEST‼️ A true Inspiration 💎 ❤️
I see myself in you, your head strong and determined. You do things yourself and don't wait around or pay someone else for what you can do. Good Job!!! I understand the independent thing I'm the same way!
Not being able to ask for or accept help is more than likely a trauma response. When we are let down time after time or we grow up with unreliable parents we just start doing for ourselves. It's not your fault. The only way to really unlearn the behavior is to actively remind yourself that you ARE deserving of a helping hand, that not everyone is going to let you down and that there are some genuine people out there and your neighbor is proof. That was really nice of him. Force yourself to accept help when offered but also use discernment bc some people are indeed crazy. With practice you will be able to accept help in no time. I am speaking from experience 💕.
Yes ma'am, fully aware and you are so right, THANK YOU💕
@@glamorouswallflower I hadn't completely finished the vid before replying it came out BEAUTIFULLY!!!
GOD kept sending you a hand. But you did extend yours later and he knew you would that's why he kept sending him by so you could warm up to him to get adjusted to
him. You was so determined and well deserved that help with all the other hard labor you previously had done just get to the part of laying the sod. There is nothing like a beautiful strong woman when we take charge.
It looks so good, I would say probably put some more fertilizer on those slow spots, it may help to give it a boost it just need a little more than the others that wasn't struggling in the beginning. You should be proud of yourself. Great work.
First vid I've seen of yours and i applaud you for stepping up to defend what is yours and standing up to the HOA demons. Sorry you have to be watched over by them, but in hindsight they have caused you to grow personally. I made it very clear to my realtor 8 years ago that no one will ever tell me what I can and can not do to my property and no HOA.
Thankfully I'm obsessed with keeping a tidy lawn that I care for myself. But keep up the great work. Proud of you Ma'm
You are definitely the GOAT. I truly enjoy your channel. Your lawn is beautiful
So proud of you. Do what you do and ask God to bless it! 🙏🏾 That’s what I do. Can’t wait around for Prince Charming, but it was nice that a gentleman helped out. Looks beautiful!☺️
Wow, you took "working your butt off" to another level. Salute! I also appreciate the length of the vid with all the details. U go girl!
As a Capricorn woman, yes I have a hard time asking for help and I'm very independent. However, I've been watching videos lately about living a soft life and this concept helps me step back a little.
Ms. Wallflower, totally feel you when it comes to wanting to finish it alone! Uh uh sir. It’s nice to have help, but I’m the same way, I just get things done alone and don’t ask for help much… I talk to GOD, about it. HE knows me.. 🤷🏽♀️. I’m working on it. You did an amazing job so I can understand you wanting to step back and say….. “Girl you did thattttt!!!” & you still should… because you did…. 💁🏽♀️💁🏽♀️
🌺Thank you luv🤍
Letting others help me has been the hardest thing for me to learn. We have very similar lifestyles and I try to tackle everything myself. Recently, I had knee surgery and had to have help. It felt good and uncomfortable at the same time. I have learned that letting others help you us a blessing for them as well. I have a non-profit that helps hundreds of people so I am not familiar with being the recipient of help. We are women of color have to work on that but I totally feel you!
I find that those of us who rarely accept help are the most willing to help others.... lets KEEP WORKING ON THIS 🌺Thank you luv🤍
I don’t think you let him do it. You allowed him to help you. You should be very proud of a job well done!!
We are the same girl! My fiance and I built a new construction home last year and now that the weather is nicer, we need to do landscaping so we stop losing the sediment lol.
The other day, we went to Home Depot and we were telling the associate that we wanted to pay for our order but we would need to make multiple trips for it since we have a small car. A very nice man named Ray overheard us and when we left, he decided to wait (almost an hr!) for us to come back. When we returned, he told us he had a truck and was happy to take the stuff for us. It CRUSHED me inside to say yes because I am fiercely independent but it was going to take us 6 more trips. We said yes, the associates loaded his truck and he helped us unload everything and even took the empty pallets back to Home Depot. He refused to take any money and told us to pay it forward. Some people are just good! Dont let your independence prevent you from seeing those good people and receiving Gods blessings
Yesss shout out to RAY! and you for accepting it... thank you luv Im workin on it
I can relate and Im working on that myself..let someone be a blessing to you. They working in their good deed.
I am so glad that I found your video. I purchased my first home last year and the backyard is full of weeds with no grass. I am considering putting in the work myself because I cant afford the price of landscaping. Your video has inspired me so much. Thanks for sharing this.
I got so emotional when the neighbor just showed up to help you!!! That was super nice of him! Keep going strong! 😘
Thank you luv
BLACK GIRL MAGIC!!! GOD BLESS YOU. I love all the updates, every detail!
I’m in the process of unlearning that same behavior. My father is a contractor and my mother has always been a go getter so the “move I’ll do it myself” attitude came natural to me. I’m a heavy diy’er big projects and power tools are what I live for and I didn’t realize how bad my “independent women syndrome” was until I got married and it has been the hardest thing to unlearn. Having a partner, friend or team mate was not how I was raised either but I’m slowly adjusting to let help happen.
You are amazing!!! We built our house and couldn’t afford a landscaper. We have been there 2 years and have patches that is still dirt. We did everything ourselves. Thank you for giving me hope. ❤️
I just hate the HOA you cannot buy a house in a neighborhood these days without having to be involved in an HOA not only do you have to pay their annual fee they tell you when and what you can and cannot do to your property. 🤦♀️
Girl that's the truth. When I was looking for my house I found my dream home until I found out a HOA was involved. I found a home in a nice area and everyone takes care of their house without having someone tell them to.
I’m in the process of buying a house (2weeks until close) - HOA is $65/mo but they maintain the front yard 👍
HOA are horrible! I have seen stories of ppl loosing their houses because of the fees HOA had!
@@Danajanene I'm in the process of looking for a home and I told my realtor "NO HOA" period!
Agreed, in Florida is super hard to avoid it... live and learn
I did the exact thing with my yard a few years ago and my back still hurts to this day. I can definitely relate to not asking or not accepting help when I really need it. Working on that as well. Your hard work shows. I see you.
thank you luv
I was the same way and still am to an extent I just fixed my dryer, I laid gravel and mulch, but now I have to have a little help, but just with lifting I spread and decorate, because I am disabled. I am married but I promise you when it comes to putting together, paiinting or fixing I am the one my husband is not the handy man I am the handy woman. I was alone for a long time and became independant and I became proudful of what I accomplish on my own.
Shout out to you for all you've done
Great job! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 yard looks amazing. 🤫 there’s “grass paint” you can use to fill in the patches just so it looks good while growing in. There’s also mulch dye 😂 I got tired of buying so many bags every spring to get that fresh look.
oh so you just out there paint everything lmaoooo 🌺Thank you luv🤍
@@glamorouswallflower 😂 yes, after the first couple of years the fun wears off. Keep up the great work 👍🏽
I refresh my mulch every year 🙃 they have mulch spray?!? 🥹😂
You are not alone. I feel and do the same thing. It is pride with me and I never want anyone to hold anything over me because I needed some help. I don’t know how to stop feeling this way. I know I’ve missed a lot of blessings being this way. I get it.. I’m looking through the comments for your help so maybe it will help me.
I must say the grass looks BEAUTIFUL 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I say move forward and not dwell on the help that you passed up... and practice saying YES more... thats where Im starting 🌺Thank you luv🤍
Yes ma'am.. You did that.. ‼️‼️‼️
Don't beat yourself up lady it looks beautiful you done a wonderful job
I feel you. I'm so independent too. But know this...You did do it all and you did an excellent job! It's looking good too. And it's good to know we still have gentlemen in the world.
🌺Thank you luv🤍
You have me inspired to tackle the pressure washing and repainting of my house.
But those spots are filling in good to say it’s only been a month. I believe all the spots will be gone soon with the progress so far. This video gave me so much motivation to clean up my yard/ garden too.
Ms. Glamorous Wallflower.....👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾....you did a awesome job..
I know exactly how you feel about asking for help..
I became that way after someone very close to me told me no .I don't like to ask for help UNLESS I really need...I like your neighbor. He did what a man is supposed to do . He stepped up once you gave him the go ahead. You put that work ...pat yourself on the back 👋🏾💪🏾... catching up on your vlogs 🥰... peace and blessings
🌺Thank you luv🤍
You are amazing!!!!!!!!!!! I am so proud of you. Your yard is looking great. You did it. Can't wait to see the next update. The rubber mulch is a great option...you will have to keep buying the wood mulch every year. Rocks are great too, however; so pricey and they sink in ground over time. Keep up the fantastic work. 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
🌺Thank you luv🤍
God Has Created A Woman Of Indurance.. He'll also give and send you good people along the way. Rejoice!!!❤❤
Super Sweet of him to help!
Accepting help sometimes feels like a double edged sword because I can't always see if someone is really genuine or trying to set me up. 👀 However, I always want the help, but like you said it sort of robs you of the satisfaction in the end. 🤪 You did a beautiful job, and recognize your neighbors are watching enviously. 👋🏾❤️💯
🌺Thank you luv🤍 .. I know they watching lololol
You’re awesome ! Go go girl .
Everything looks wonderful . I’m independent and usually never seek or ask for help . These days thou with no cartilage left on my knees I need to ask . I’ve learned that accepting help is somewhat of a gift & a blessing to the receiver and the giver , Residing in gratitude gets me over the pride issues and I become a lot less hard on myself focusing on my blessings & the grace of people who show up for me who don’t expect anything except a thank you 🙏 from me .
Sending power - light & peace ❤️🖖🏻
You did a great job now get some grass seed and put on the brown spots and keep water it should fill in
I was right there with you trying to revive a small patch of grass in our front yard. It was lots of work. Good Job staying with it!
Hey Shonda🖐🏿. You are the GOAT for real!! This video is just in time because I have some bald spots in my lawn that definitely needs a weave. The new sod looks great.
