Something I love about you is that you romanticize and find beauty and joy in the small and mundane moments of life 🥹 The content you put out there has a meaning and a purpose. Thank you for everything this past year! You don’t even know how much you and your videos have helped me 🤍 So glad I have been part of your journey since 2019! So proud of all your accomplishments 👏
Gods timing truly is perfect and you’ll understand it more once your dreams are fulfilled. It all comes with maturity and growing/learning. You’ll gain more surrender, patience, compassion and wisdom through difficult times. You’ll be SO grateful for these hard years in the future.
As a mom and wife, you are truly setting yourself up for your future family. Your faith, you intentionally, your steadfast peace in chaos, and finding joy in small things will absolutely set you up for the mental side of becoming a mom and sustaining your marriage. God bless you Allison, you are peace, joy, and love 💕 🦋
What I really admire about you is the mature way of thinking and the faith that you have! It seems like you are at peace with yourself and I find it truly inspiring!💫
Thank you for being so vulnerable and soft through your journey. We just welcomed our son into the world after waiting and praying for him for 13 years. Hold onto your faith and never stop hoping and dreaming. Praying for your family. ❤
I have never seen anyone be able to express themselves with such eloquent words and the gift of how you can describe things so incredibly and uniquely. You are wise beyond your years Allison. I've been watching you for several years now and I'm surprised by how much I learn from you, someone so much younger than me. Always learning in life. I love how you express your feelings and I'm inspired by the shining light you are in this dark world. I pray I can be the same. As others have said, God's timing is perfect and he has big plans for you and Brandon this year! I'm excited to see what's in store for you both 🐝 P.S. One of my 2024 goals is to overcome my shopping addiction! In therapy and I'm looking forward to victorious 2024! 🎉
Allison, thank you so much for what you do. I will be 18 years old in April and I am so scared and worried. I all your dreams, hopes and goal help me to see how I could make adulthood better for myself. For example, having a rest day not worrying about paying bills, cleaning and everything else you have to do as an adult.
Allison, you have been an inspiration to me this year. I look forward each week to watching your videos. The content that you post is clean, calming, fun, and meaningful. I love being able to visit with you in your home, travel with you on your journies, and watch you create in your kitchen and your garden. You are the type of homemaker I always wanted to be. I know you will be a wonderful mother and that God has plans for you that you cannot fathom. 2024 is going to be the most awesome year of our lives. I will be turning 70 in August and am actually looking forward to it. My life just keeps getting better and yours will, too. Thank you for all of the joy you brought to us in 2023 and for the joy you will continue to bring us in 2024. Here is to the happiest and most blessed new year ever. Much love to you and Brandon and Palmer!
Allison: there are so many things I’ve learned to appreciate and respect you for, but the one thing that inspires me the most about you is your joy for the Lord and your love of life. It is something that I have observed throughout your videos - through all life’s ups and downs - it seems to just be something so ingrained in you that you cannot help but let it shine in everything you do. Every time I watch one of your videos I am reminded of all the blessings of life - all the incredible things God has gifted me. I am newly married and while it is such an answered prayer and I love my husband more than anything, I have such a bad tendency towards frustration and thankfulness. Your videos really remind me of how important it is to reflect on the beauty of life and not take anything for granted. The Lord has truly blessed you with the gift of joy. It is something so pure and holy that we really need more of in this world. Thank you for inspiring me to continue to strive to be better, to turn my eyes to the Lord, to have a heart of joy, an attitude of gratitude, and to never take life for granted
I was crying listening to you talk about your miscarriage. I had such a similar experience trying to control when baby was born and what month I wanted to get pregnant and lost that baby to miscarriage. Gods timing really is perfect because I’m sitting here on the other side of it nursing my rainbow baby crying as you talk knowing that he would not be here if not for my baby in heaven. 🥹 God’s plan is perfect and when you get to hold your rainbow baby in your arms someday it will make the pain worth it although you’ll never forget the one you lost. Hugs to you 🤍
Funnily, and candidly, I have avoided enjoying this video because often we compare a lot of different pieces of our lives, especially of those we admire. I have wanted to sit and watch this, and dream with you, but I held back for fear of having to grow in uncomfortable ways, like sitting and thinking of ways to strive for a beautiful way of life. Step closer to my goals. And just “maintain” those steps as you say, to continue to grow. But when I finally opened this video, I’m quickly and swiftly reminded that you’re a friend through a screen. Whom I’ve grown to love and enjoy sitting with and being taken along, on your own journey in life. Thank you for always being so genuine, encouraging, sweet, reflective, and inspiring. A true online friend who I should never fear comparison with, because you bring such light and hope, encouraging us to seek beauty and strive for more in our own lives. Much love, Allison 🩷✨☁️
Allison - My multiple miscarriages brought me closer to God as it highlighted that we are not in charge. Some people pull away from their faith under those circumstances and some people grow closer to their faith. Our journey to parenting was not at all what we expected when we took in my husband’s 16 year old homeless and addicted nephew. We became what he calls his Maunty and Duncle. That was in 2008 and he is a High School teacher now. It was not what we had imagined, of course we had imagined perfect babies, but parenting isn’t a perfect journey - ever. You and your husband have already begun the parenting journey, whether you had a baby or not. And you know that if you are blessed with a baby it will be loved. I wish you and your family all the best in 2024, and know that you will manage with grace whatever life has in store for you. You are a light in our lives, and a creative force. Sharing all of your sides, made you more human in our eyes. May the blessings you desire befall you all in good time. I am glad our support has meant something to you, as there are days when your videos literally and figuratively inspire me to bring light into my life and explore my creative side. To your health in 2024 Allison.
You are a breath of fresh air Allison. I look so forward to your vlogs. In a world where there is much darkness you shed a ray of light. Thank you and keep doing what you are doing, adding Joy and Faith into our lives. 🥂cheers to a fresh new year!
You are such a blessing Allison. I know it’s been a tough few months for you. Wishing you love, light and God’s blessings. He has good plans for you and Brandon!🎀🩷
Oh yes dear Allison! Trust in Gods timing with your baby and family! With modern medicine, it’s easy to want to control “life”, but God is the true Giver of Life. I’ve have 5 babies now, and only 1 came expected (and not the first☺️). Keep trusting in God! Ps. My kids and I love watching your videos together. It’s always so cozy and fun!
I really appreciate you being so open about your journey to motherhood. We have been experiencing infertility ourselves this year, and it is just so helpful and encouraging to watch you be so brave and forthcoming about your experience with this nonlinear journey that many don't talk about. So thank you!
Commenting so hopefully she sees this but also to say to anyone reading that can relate to this - you’re not alone! Been waiting for my rainbow for 2 years now and hoping for miracles in 2024!
Hi Allison, I am one of your older viewers ( giggle giggle) I have watched you video since your college days. What drew me to you in the beginning was a few things. Your love of life, your love for Brandon and family but mostly for your love of God. Back then I was struggling over the loss of my infant son and I was honestly looking for things that would inspire me to have more joy and light heartedness in what I was watching. You also brought me back closer to God. It was not long after one of my lovely friends gave me a framed poem of “Footprints”. You have grown so much over the years. Just like the butterflies that are so beautiful in your garden. I am so excited for your future and to continue to learn so recipes, hostess ideas and the beauty you bring to your home. May blessings continue for both you and B as you navigate this new coming year. ❤🙏🏻
Your words about trusting God with the timing of motherhood really resonate with me. I have stressed and shed so many tears over the timeline of becoming parents, with plans down to the month. So appreciate your perspective of trusting HIS timing not mine 🫶🏼 wishing your little family the sweetest 2024
Everytime you talk about motherhood I want to cry as well. I wish you all the best with trying again. May 2024 be a year full of happiness and new beginnings!
I love listening to your reflections and hope you know that they help and are a blessing to others too!! You are such a a kind, loving, beautiful soul!! It makes my day every time I see a new video from you!!! Thanks for all you do and who you are!! 🥰❤️🙏🙏. I am also praying for motherhood to bless your life this year ❤️
I feel the exact same about 2023. It was the year that brought me the highest highs but also the lowest lows, a lot of heartbreak woven into the everyday joy. I found out I was pregnant with our first baby, after 14 months of trying, on August 15th. 11 days later, I found out I was experiencing a ruptured ectopic pregnancy and bleeding internally 💔 we lost our baby that day and my right Fallopian tube. Within those 11 days, I experienced the greatest joy of my life (as all I’ve ever dreamed of is motherhood) but also the greatest heartbreak. Our journey to grow our family has been anything but easy. It has not gone at all how I expected, and has been such a tough lesson in surrendering and trusting God’s timing. Like you said, it’s not always easy and it’s hard to understand why things happened the way they did, but holding onto that faith and our trust in Him has been such an anchor throughout this season. Something I love about you, is that you also romanticize life and trying to find the magic in the little moments. This is something I strive for as well. And this year has taught me that joy and grief can coexist. Not an easy year by any stretch of the imagination, but grateful for the gift of our angel baby, however short our time together was 👼🏼 Praying our dreams of motherhood are fulfilled in 2024 🙏🏻
Praying you enter motherhood and have a beautiful year. You’re so strong and deserving Allison. You make people so happy through your videos. I am so thankful for you.
Allison, thank you for such a beautiful video. I started watching you this year since I just started looking at Utube. Your videos give me a sense of calmness in this world of turmoil. This year my word is TRUST which involves trusting God more and trusting myself. I look forward to 2024 with you 🥂Blessings ❤️
C’est toujours un vrai plaisir de vous regarder ! Votre positivité est contagieuse et met du baume au cœur ! Restez comme vous êtes 🥰 bisous de Paris 😘
You're such a lovely breath of fresh air. You have such a wonderful spirit that flows from you. I pray you are blessed in 2024 with all that you desire. I pray for healing for you both. God bless ❤
Allison, thank you for continually pouring your heart and soul into your work, producing videos for all of us to enjoy! You have a true talent, a beautiful gift of creating content that captures the spirit of joy and peace! I can see the presence of the Holy Spirit within you, and it spills over into all that you do, and eminates through your being! You are truly being the salt and the light! Thank you for that! Thank you for your authenticity, vulnerability, and for encouraging others to be more loving and peaceful in their lives, by displaying that in yours! Praying for many blessings for you and Brandon this year, and for healing and renewal as well! And of course, praying for you both to be blessed with a beautiful, healthy little baby! 🙏🏻💞
As a momma of 1 hoping intensely for baby 2 after two miscarriages, I feel for you. We will be vulnerable to heartache because motherhood is so worth it. Keep being soft ❤ something my mom shared with me after my first loss that really helped me is that God wasn’t taking my perfectly healthy baby away from me, but giving my baby a gift by sparing him from a life of pain that would have come with the defect that ended the pregnancy, he protected us in that way. It’s still hard, but with that in mind I could get past the anger I felt at God and cling instead to his hope. Sending love to all the mommas at heart. ❤❤❤
I appreciate you being open about your struggle to motherhood in this season of your life. Like you, I tried to control when I would get pregnant with baby #2 but I was reminded by God that He is in control and to relinquish that control as he knows the perfect timing, it’s been a hard journey for sure. I would love to see more videos of how you cope during this season of your life. Blessings to you in 2024 🙏🏼
You are a beautiful person both inside and out. I truly get a lot of my inspiration from you, and aspire to view life the way that you do. Thank you for sharing your life with us 🩷
After the stillbirth of our first son in 2022, we welcomed his brother this past September. My goal for 2024 is to be the best mom I can for him and nurture our family by living out the fruits of the spirit: Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Gentleness, Faithfulness, & Self-Control ❣
Just a note, since you don’t have much land- I would check with your neighbors and HOA before delving into beekeeping. If one of the neighbors is allergic it could pose a problem.
Allison, you are truly so very beautiful from the heart. You are pure sunshine in human form. You radiate unconditional kindness, love and positivity. You are a tangible reminder that the Lord gives good gifts. Thank you for endlessly reminding us to always find beauty, magic and joy in each moment of each day no matter what we may be going through. You shine one of the most brightest, warmest and inviting lights in this world. I have been subscribed to your channel since your college days. Throughout the years, you have become such an inspiration and role model to me, especially in all things Jesus. I am so happy and grateful that a beautiful soul like you exists. Thank you for always sharing your journey here on Earth with all of us. I have two goals for the New Year. My first goal is to fully live in the present moment and not worry so much about taking pictures or recording. My second goal is to grow deeper in my faith and grow a closer and deeper relationship with the Lord. May 2024 pour endless laughter, joy, magic and lots of cozy moments into your home. You and Brandon are such beautiful, precious gifts. I have so much love and appreciation for the both of you. Happy New Year to you, sweet girl. 🕊❤
What an eventful year it has been for us. Thank you so much for providing us with cozy videos throughout the year to get to know you a bit more each day and help us grow with every chance we get, and we're looking forward to whatever 2024 brings us ❤
Although you have a wonderful way of dreaming and romanticizing, you also have a wonderful perspective and realistic approach to the realities of life. We all have our ups and downs, our heartbreaks, and our joys, but it is the perspective and the gratitude that will get us through. Happy 2024!❤
After going through my own infertility journey, I turned to something that I knew would bring me joy - my writing. And I’ve published 3 books this year in my romantic suspense with paranormal elements series! I’m hoping to publish more in the new year. Thank you for your wonderfully sweet and inspiring videos. Wishing you and Brandon a very happy and healthy new year! 🎉
Hi! You bring so much joy into my life, and it’s such an honor to follow you! You carry the tenderness and kindness of Jesus. It’s no evident He lives in you and through you🥺 you inspire me to walk in Joy each and everyday even when times are hard. Thank you❤a lot of the time I have a hard time believing in myself, I just turned 23 and in this new season I pray I start to see myself as the Lord does. You inspire me🥹
Hi Allison, I went through the same thing as you at the same time last year. I cried for both of us. May 2024 be what we want and may it be kind to us whatever path we go down. Sending love from Oxford, UK xx
You are such an inspiration! I am 65 years old and a 53 year old Christian. I love how you minister to me just being you!❤ thanks for sharing your beautiful soul and daily life w us!
Keep the faith that God will bless you in his own time💖! I love the “in & out” list what a great idea☺️. If you love old music, I highly suggest Dean Martin’s greatest hits! There is nothing better than is velvety romantic voice & music playing while cooking in the kitchen 🥰
Allison, you have such a beautiful soul. Whenever I view any of your content, both on RUclips and Instagram, I am instantly relaxed and have a more patient and beautiful perspective on life. You are such an inspiration ❤
Thank you for making "space" on your channel to talk about motherhood (which is a precarious road so many women travel). I'm praying the journey gets easier ❤❤❤❤
I absolutely look forward to your videos. You have impeccable style and grace. I love that you stick with the old, but dare to try the new. Thank you for sharing your raw journey and may each day be rewarding. 🤗🥳
so inspirational!! I have always loves new year's intentions. I'm focusing on romanticizing my life for next year while also improving consistency in healthy eating, so your video was helpful! happy near year!
I’ve been catching up on your vlogs while I prepare for my next classes to start back up in couple weeks at ASU. I love how you always find happiness in the little things. I am so glad I started watching your vlogs earlier this year. You are such an inspiring person. Thank you for sharing parts of your life with us. ❤😊 I can’t wait to see what 2024 will bring.
Allison, my wish for you both for the new year is that all your dreams and hopes and aspirations will fully come true. God is good and like you said all in his timing. Sometimes when we want everything to be perfect and we plan things out, it will surprise with the unexpected. Wishing you and your family a blessed and healthy New Year “2024”. 🎊 🎉
The quote you read about God reminded me of God winks, which are the things he does. That reminds us he is with us always. I wish you and your family a wonderful year.❤
I loved this so much. I’ve just started my five minute journal today as journaling is one of my in’s this year. I love that the journal encourages you to practice mindfulness and gratitude 🤍
Allison. Ive been watching your channel in 2023. Thank you for all your lovely videos. You have been a light in my life. Happy New Year to you and your loved ones!!
I love your outlook on the hardships you’ve experienced. Maybe the timing was perfect in Gods eyes because he needed you to learn the lesson of not being in control? Just another way to look at it.
Such beautiful goals! Thank you for sharing. Definitely inspires me while crafting my hopes for 2024. Praying for a joyous year over you and your family.
I could listen to you talk all day! You should be a motivational speaker or just make videos of reading your favorite quotes or poems. Your videos bring me such joy. Blessings for the new year and I hope you have your best year yet ❤
I found your channel a while back..I loved the sweetness, wholesome and honest way you are. I'm prob old enough to be your mom 😂 but I love the positive feel. Ever since your loss, which I am so sorry and cried when you aired that video...I have felt and seen the pain and change in you💔 And as soon as you said you were on there verge of tears on this, my heart broke. We all pray for you and your husband, who seems to be so loving! Be gentle with yourself, kind when it's most difficult and take your time to heal. God's plan is in action for you! ❤ Listen to your soul's whisper...it never lies! xoxo
I adore the way you romanticize the little things. It's truly beautiful. I want to virtually hug you. I know this loss has been so challenging for you and your husband, and I think it has been challenging for us to watch such a beautiful and loving couple struggle with one of the hardest loses. I loss my oldest full term back in 2012 and I gave up on life.. for quite a long time. Once I cleaned up my mental health and consumption and focused on allowing time to take place if and when another child would enter our lives, we got pregnant with our beautiful baby boy. We later had another boy and our wold is filled with so much purpose and joy! The time will come for you, but you are right, the timing is not for us to decide. Rest your body and mind❤ your time will come❤ I also am so proud to hear you are giving up on artificial scents! You'll find your senses high-end when they aren't so bogged down with fragrances! It's also so much better for your body and mind! Good luck to you this upcoming year! I'll be here every step of the way, enjoying each moment you praise❤
Ahh Allison!! I love this so much and what a year!! I have loved watching your videos this year and coming along each week!! I am so proud of how far you’ve come and i hope you become a mom in 2024! I have also loved all your gardening videos and obviously your holiday ones the most!! I can’t wait to see what you have in store for the coming year. I would love more organization and cooking/ baking videos. Ilysm and I hope you’re having an amazing day!! Cheers to 2024! 💕
Allison-I just wanted to share a story on God's timing. I was like you-I tried to plan the birth of our first child. We waited two years after we got married to try to conceive. We had a house, my husband had a good job. In MY eyes, everything was perfect. I couldn't understand why it wasn't happening. We had just started to have testing done on why we couldn't conceive. THEN, 911 happened and our world was turned upside down. My husband was deployed for a year. We ended up moving and all of a sudden trying to have a baby was put on hold. God led me into teaching. He had bigger plans for us. I ended up having my first child 7 years after marriage!!! I now look back and completely understand why things happened the way they did. God always sees the bigger picture. Even though I thought the timing was right in MY eyes, it wasn't in God's timing. One thing about being a child of God: we can rest assure that His timing is ALWAYS perfect.
2024 has this vibe of being more wholesome and living in a simplistic way so I love that you mentioned doing more toned down hang outs. Prime example that it doesn’t have to be extravagant to be able to get the same benefit of the idea ❤ my goal is to not over consume or be over influenced to buy stuff. Lol staying off social media and being more present in my reality will be my goal so I can live that out 😅
Allison, you are such a calming influence that I always look forward to your next video! As always, thank you for your honesty and kindness and I truly do wish that you have a beautiful year ahead! 💕
thank you for sharing, allison! i too had a miscarriage this year so im pursuing and praying for motherhood this year too. lets pray and leave the rest to God. excited to journey this year with you ❤
I’m so excited about this video (well, all your videos) but really needed some inspiration for the new year. This season is beautiful, but the constant go-go-go is exhausting. Between finals, work, holidays I’ve been on autopilot. This video has inspired me to take some very needed ME time to dream, and realign myself to my goals and intentions. Thank you, thank you ❤️
Hope you, Brandon, Palmer and your parents had a magical Christmas Allison🎄. I also love journaling my goals for the New Year, 2023 was the best year of the 2020s for me, wishing you the most wonderful year on 2024 can't wait for all your 2024 content. Lots of love✨️!
I love the idea of an "ins and outs" list! Greatly enjoyed this video and appreciate everything you put out! It's part of my "chill time"- if I'm feeling stressy or unproductive, I will put on one of your videos while I cook, or clean, or just need a breather! Happy New Year, Allison, Brandon and Palmer!
I love the idea of an ins and outs list! Definitely going to try that. Our Bible study just made vision boards together and it was the most fun. Thank you for sharing!
Allison your video was so touching, inspiring and beautiful. Thank you for sharing your life with us! You truly are joy filled, and give hope and love in every video! Life has its challenges but your grace, gratitude and hopefulness have been such a blessing to me. You are so encouraging and such a beautiful person. I'm so thankful for you and all that you bring to our world. May God bless you and Brandon in 2024 and may all your hopes and dreams come true. Happy New Year! Sending much love and a big hug 💖🤗✨🕊️
I absolutely love you and your videos, I’m always excited when I see another video is out. I am so sorry about your guys loss a couple months ago but I love how you are really trying to remember it’s all in God’s timing when your family will grow. I am in the same boat, I haven’t had a miscarriage but me and my husband have been trying over 2 years and it hasn’t happened for us and it is hard but it really is all in God’s timing and I hope that your timing is soon! 💕
Allison, We all need inspiration! To motivate and live with intention. I love the poem. My goal is to bring beauty and romance in every aspect of my life. More self care. Creating memories. Spreading more love and kindness. Laughing more..,yes!💗🌸
Thank you for showing us both your celebrations and your heartache, Allison. I know that it must be hard sometimes, but it is such a blessing to see your joy and faith through all situations. We are praying for your little family’s healing and for motherhood to grace you soon! My goals for this coming year is to read through the whole bible (attempt number 15 I’m sure), and to complete a 40 day fast and devotion with my church! I have had so many struggles with completing my Bible study programs, but this year I am hopeful because I am using something called the Bible Recap which has been super helpful and engaging so far! I am starting with the New Testament first. Happy New Year Allison, Brandon, and Palmer!
Something I love about you is that you romanticize and find beauty and joy in the small and mundane moments of life 🥹 The content you put out there has a meaning and a purpose. Thank you for everything this past year! You don’t even know how much you and your videos have helped me 🤍 So glad I have been part of your journey since 2019! So proud of all your accomplishments 👏
Thank you so so much, sweet Maria! Your encouragement is a constant blessing in my life 💫 cheers to a new year!

Gods timing truly is perfect and you’ll understand it more once your dreams are fulfilled. It all comes with maturity and growing/learning. You’ll gain more surrender, patience, compassion and wisdom through difficult times. You’ll be SO grateful for these hard years in the future.
As a mom and wife, you are truly setting yourself up for your future family. Your faith, you intentionally, your steadfast peace in chaos, and finding joy in small things will absolutely set you up for the mental side of becoming a mom and sustaining your marriage. God bless you Allison, you are peace, joy, and love 💕 🦋
What I really admire about you is the mature way of thinking and the faith that you have! It seems like you are at peace with yourself and I find it truly inspiring!💫
Thank you for being so vulnerable and soft through your journey. We just welcomed our son into the world after waiting and praying for him for 13 years. Hold onto your faith and never stop hoping and dreaming. Praying for your family. ❤
I have never seen anyone be able to express themselves with such eloquent words and the gift of how you can describe things so incredibly and uniquely. You are wise beyond your years Allison. I've been watching you for several years now and I'm surprised by how much I learn from you, someone so much younger than me. Always learning in life. I love how you express your feelings and I'm inspired by the shining light you are in this dark world. I pray I can be the same. As others have said, God's timing is perfect and he has big plans for you and Brandon this year! I'm excited to see what's in store for you both 🐝 P.S. One of my 2024 goals is to overcome my shopping addiction! In therapy and I'm looking forward to victorious 2024! 🎉
Praying for you and God’s continued peace in your life. He is using you to minister to others. God bless you.
Allison, thank you so much for what you do. I will be 18 years old in April and I am so scared and worried. I all your dreams, hopes and goal help me to see how I could make adulthood better for myself. For example, having a rest day not worrying about paying bills, cleaning and everything else you have to do as an adult.
Allison, you have been an inspiration to me this year. I look forward each week to watching your videos. The content that you post is clean, calming, fun, and meaningful. I love being able to visit with you in your home, travel with you on your journies, and watch you create in your kitchen and your garden. You are the type of homemaker I always wanted to be. I know you will be a wonderful mother and that God has plans for you that you cannot fathom. 2024 is going to be the most awesome year of our lives. I will be turning 70 in August and am actually looking forward to it. My life just keeps getting better and yours will, too. Thank you for all of the joy you brought to us in 2023 and for the joy you will continue to bring us in 2024. Here is to the happiest and most blessed new year ever. Much love to you and Brandon and Palmer!
Allison: there are so many things I’ve learned to appreciate and respect you for, but the one thing that inspires me the most about you is your joy for the Lord and your love of life.
It is something that I have observed throughout your videos - through all life’s ups and downs - it seems to just be something so ingrained in you that you cannot help but let it shine in everything you do. Every time I watch one of your videos I am reminded of all the blessings of life - all the incredible things God has gifted me.

Your videos really remind me of how important it is to reflect on the beauty of life and not take anything for granted. The Lord has truly blessed you with the gift of joy. It is something so pure and holy that we really need more of in this world.
Thank you for inspiring me to continue to strive to be better, to turn my eyes to the Lord, to have a heart of joy, an attitude of gratitude, and to never take life for granted
I was crying listening to you talk about your miscarriage. I had such a similar experience trying to control when baby was born and what month I wanted to get pregnant and lost that baby to miscarriage. Gods timing really is perfect because I’m sitting here on the other side of it nursing my rainbow baby crying as you talk knowing that he would not be here if not for my baby in heaven. 🥹 God’s plan is perfect and when you get to hold your rainbow baby in your arms someday it will make the pain worth it although you’ll never forget the one you lost. Hugs to you 🤍
My WORD for this coming year is: Seek HIM more in 2024! 🙌🏼🙏🏼🙌🏼🙏🏼. Sending Love and prayers for you and your sweet family 🥰
Funnily, and candidly, I have avoided enjoying this video because often we compare a lot of different pieces of our lives, especially of those we admire. I have wanted to sit and watch this, and dream with you, but I held back for fear of having to grow in uncomfortable ways, like sitting and thinking of ways to strive for a beautiful way of life.

That was in 2008 and he is a High School teacher now. It was not what we had imagined, of course we had imagined perfect babies, but parenting isn’t a perfect journey - ever. You and your husband have already begun the parenting journey, whether you had a baby or not. And you know that if you are blessed with a baby it will be loved. I wish you and your family all the best in 2024, and know that you will manage with grace whatever life has in store for you. You are a light in our lives, and a creative force. Sharing all of your sides, made you more human in our eyes. May the blessings you desire befall you all in good time. I am glad our support has meant something to you, as there are days when your videos literally and figuratively inspire me to bring light into my life and explore my creative side. To your health in 2024 Allison.
You are a breath of fresh air Allison. I look so forward to your vlogs. In a world where there is much darkness you shed a ray of light.
Thank you and keep doing what you are doing, adding Joy and Faith into our lives.
🥂cheers to a fresh new year!
You are such a blessing Allison. I know it’s been a tough few months for you. Wishing you love, light and God’s blessings. He has good plans for you and Brandon!🎀🩷
You are such a positive and sweet person. I wish to be like this and see the positives rather than being negative.
Oh yes dear Allison! Trust in Gods timing with your baby and family! With modern medicine, it’s easy to want to control “life”, but God is the true Giver of Life. I’ve have 5 babies now, and only 1 came expected (and not the first☺️). Keep trusting in God!
Ps. My kids and I love watching your videos together. It’s always so cozy and fun!
Liebe Allison, Du bist ein Sonnenschein ☀️..Mögen Deine Träume 2024 in Erfüllung gehen..Bleib wie Du bist😊🍀
Hi Allison! Thank you for providing consistent sunshine, positivity, and inspiration to us all. 🦋
Thank you for the encouragement 🥹💌
Love is full of both sorrow and joy but sorrow never oppresses the joy when lived in the Will of God!
I really appreciate you being so open about your journey to motherhood. We have been experiencing infertility ourselves this year, and it is just so helpful and encouraging to watch you be so brave and forthcoming about your experience with this nonlinear journey that many don't talk about. So thank you!

Commenting so hopefully she sees this but also to say to anyone reading that can relate to this - you’re not alone! Been waiting for my rainbow for 2 years now and hoping for miracles in 2024!
Hi Allison, I am one of your older viewers ( giggle giggle) I have watched you video since your college days. What drew me to you in the beginning was a few things. Your love of life, your love for Brandon and family but mostly for your love of God. Back then I was struggling over the loss of my infant son and I was honestly looking for things that would inspire me to have more joy and light heartedness in what I was watching. You also brought me back closer to God. It was not long after one of my lovely friends gave me a framed poem of “Footprints”. You have grown so much over the years. Just like the butterflies that are so beautiful in your garden. I am so excited for your future and to continue to learn so recipes, hostess ideas and the beauty you bring to your home. May blessings continue for both you and B as you navigate this new coming year. ❤🙏🏻
Your words about trusting God with the timing of motherhood really resonate with me. I have stressed and shed so many tears over the timeline of becoming parents, with plans down to the month. So appreciate your perspective of trusting HIS timing not mine 🫶🏼 wishing your little family the sweetest 2024
Everytime you talk about motherhood I want to cry as well. I wish you all the best with trying again. May 2024 be a year full of happiness and new beginnings!

OUT: self doubts and negative self talk
IN: self confidence and positive affirmation

I love listening to your reflections and hope you know that they help and are a blessing to others too!! You are such a a kind, loving, beautiful soul!! It makes my day every time I see a new video from you!!! Thanks for all you do and who you are!! 🥰❤️🙏🙏. I am also praying for motherhood to bless your life this year ❤️
I feel the exact same about 2023. It was the year that brought me the highest highs but also the lowest lows, a lot of heartbreak woven into the everyday joy. I found out I was pregnant with our first baby, after 14 months of trying, on August 15th. 11 days later, I found out I was experiencing a ruptured ectopic pregnancy and bleeding internally 💔 we lost our baby that day and my right Fallopian tube. Within those 11 days, I experienced the greatest joy of my life (as all I’ve ever dreamed of is motherhood) but also the greatest heartbreak.
Our journey to grow our family has been anything but easy. It has not gone at all how I expected, and has been such a tough lesson in surrendering and trusting God’s timing. Like you said, it’s not always easy and it’s hard to understand why things happened the way they did, but holding onto that faith and our trust in Him has been such an anchor throughout this season.
Something I love about you, is that you also romanticize life and trying to find the magic in the little moments. This is something I strive for as well. And this year has taught me that joy and grief can coexist. Not an easy year by any stretch of the imagination, but grateful for the gift of our angel baby, however short our time together was 👼🏼
Praying our dreams of motherhood are fulfilled in 2024 🙏🏻
I use to go to Clearwater Beach in Florida in the early risings at 7am and fall asleep on the beach to the waves. Ugh, miss those days .🌞
Praying you enter motherhood and have a beautiful year. You’re so strong and deserving Allison. You make people so happy through your videos. I am so thankful for you.
Allison, thank you for such a beautiful video. I started watching you this year since I just started looking at Utube. Your videos give me a sense of calmness in this world of turmoil. This year my word is TRUST which involves trusting God more and trusting myself.
I look forward to 2024 with you 🥂Blessings ❤️
C’est toujours un vrai plaisir de vous regarder ! Votre positivité est contagieuse et met du baume au cœur ! Restez comme vous êtes 🥰 bisous de Paris 😘
You're such a lovely breath of fresh air. You have such a wonderful spirit that flows from you. I pray you are blessed in 2024 with all that you desire. I pray for healing for you both. God bless ❤
Allison, thank you for continually pouring your heart and soul into your work, producing videos for all of us to enjoy!
You have a true talent, a beautiful gift of creating content that captures the spirit of joy and peace!
I can see the presence of the Holy Spirit within you, and it spills over into all that you do, and eminates through your being!
You are truly being the salt and the light! Thank you for that! Thank you for your authenticity, vulnerability, and for encouraging others to be more loving and peaceful in their lives, by displaying that in yours!
Praying for many blessings for you and Brandon this year, and for healing and renewal as well! And of course, praying for you both to be blessed with a beautiful, healthy little baby! 🙏🏻💞
As a momma of 1 hoping intensely for baby 2 after two miscarriages, I feel for you. We will be vulnerable to heartache because motherhood is so worth it. Keep being soft ❤ something my mom shared with me after my first loss that really helped me is that God wasn’t taking my perfectly healthy baby away from me, but giving my baby a gift by sparing him from a life of pain that would have come with the defect that ended the pregnancy, he protected us in that way. It’s still hard, but with that in mind I could get past the anger I felt at God and cling instead to his hope. Sending love to all the mommas at heart. ❤❤❤
You are an inspiration. You always have a positive look on things. We all need to share in that.
I appreciate you being open about your struggle to motherhood in this season of your life. Like you, I tried to control when I would get pregnant with baby #2 but I was reminded by God that He is in control and to relinquish that control as he knows the perfect timing, it’s been a hard journey for sure. I would love to see more videos of how you cope during this season of your life. Blessings to you in 2024 🙏🏼
You are a beautiful person both inside and out. I truly get a lot of my inspiration from you, and aspire to view life the way that you do. Thank you for sharing your life with us 🩷
After the stillbirth of our first son in 2022, we welcomed his brother this past September. My goal for 2024 is to be the best mom I can for him and nurture our family by living out the fruits of the spirit: Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Gentleness, Faithfulness, & Self-Control ❣
Just a note, since you don’t have much land- I would check with your neighbors and HOA before delving into beekeeping. If one of the neighbors is allergic it could pose a problem.
Allison, you are truly so very beautiful from the heart. You are pure sunshine in human form. You radiate unconditional kindness, love and positivity. You are a tangible reminder that the Lord gives good gifts. Thank you for endlessly reminding us to always find beauty, magic and joy in each moment of each day no matter what we may be going through. You shine one of the most brightest, warmest and inviting lights in this world.
I have been subscribed to your channel since your college days. Throughout the years, you have become such an inspiration and role model to me, especially in all things Jesus. I am so happy and grateful that a beautiful soul like you exists. Thank you for always sharing your journey here on Earth with all of us.
I have two goals for the New Year. My first goal is to fully live in the present moment and not worry so much about taking pictures or recording. My second goal is to grow deeper in my faith and grow a closer and deeper relationship with the Lord.
May 2024 pour endless laughter, joy, magic and lots of cozy moments into your home. You and Brandon are such beautiful, precious gifts. I have so much love and appreciation for the both of you.
Happy New Year to you, sweet girl. 🕊❤
Your words touched me, so beautifully written and full of truth and love. Thank you!💖
What an eventful year it has been for us. Thank you so much for providing us with cozy videos throughout the year to get to know you a bit more each day and help us grow with every chance we get, and we're looking forward to whatever 2024 brings us ❤
Allison, could you do a video on beginner with plants so, good plants for beginners and basic knowledge.
Although you have a wonderful way of dreaming and romanticizing, you also have a wonderful perspective and realistic approach to the realities of life. We all have our ups and downs, our heartbreaks, and our joys, but it is the perspective and the gratitude that will get us through. Happy 2024!❤
Dear sweet Allison…you bring us all so much joy and I cannot wait to see you accomplish things on and off your list.
After going through my own infertility journey, I turned to something that I knew would bring me joy - my writing. And I’ve published 3 books this year in my romantic suspense with paranormal elements series! I’m hoping to publish more in the new year. Thank you for your wonderfully sweet and inspiring videos. Wishing you and Brandon a very happy and healthy new year! 🎉
Hi! You bring so much joy into my life, and it’s such an honor to follow you! You carry the tenderness and kindness of Jesus. It’s no evident He lives in you and through you🥺 you inspire me to walk in Joy each and everyday even when times are hard. Thank you❤a lot of the time I have a hard time believing in myself, I just turned 23 and in this new season I pray I start to see myself as the Lord does. You inspire me🥹
You such a beautiful lady inside and out. Your videos always bring me so much joy and peace. Thank you for letting us be apart of your life’s journey.
You are so honest and intentional about self improvement. Love that about you.
Hi Allison,
I went through the same thing as you at the same time last year. I cried for both of us.
May 2024 be what we want and may it be kind to us whatever path we go down.
Sending love from Oxford, UK xx
You are such an inspiration! I am 65 years old and a 53 year old Christian. I love how you minister to me just being you!❤ thanks for sharing your beautiful soul and daily life w us!
Keep the faith that God will bless you in his own time💖! I love the “in & out” list what a great idea☺️. If you love old music, I highly suggest Dean Martin’s greatest hits! There is nothing better than is velvety romantic voice & music playing while cooking in the kitchen 🥰
Allison, you have such a beautiful soul. Whenever I view any of your content, both on RUclips and Instagram, I am instantly relaxed and have a more patient and beautiful perspective on life. You are such an inspiration ❤
Thank you for making "space" on your channel to talk about motherhood (which is a precarious road so many women travel). I'm praying the journey gets easier ❤❤❤❤
I absolutely look forward to your videos. You have impeccable style and grace. I love that you stick with the old, but dare to try the new. Thank you for sharing your raw journey and may each day be rewarding. 🤗🥳
so inspirational!! I have always loves new year's intentions. I'm focusing on romanticizing my life for next year while also improving consistency in healthy eating, so your video was helpful! happy near year!
I’ve been catching up on your vlogs while I prepare for my next classes to start back up in couple weeks at ASU. I love how you always find happiness in the little things. I am so glad I started watching your vlogs earlier this year. You are such an inspiring person. Thank you for sharing parts of your life with us. ❤😊 I can’t wait to see what 2024 will bring.
Allison, my wish for you both for the new year is that all your dreams and hopes and aspirations will fully come true. God is good and like you said all in his timing. Sometimes when we want everything to be perfect and we plan things out, it will surprise with the unexpected. Wishing you and your family a blessed and healthy New Year “2024”.
🎊 🎉
The quote you read about God reminded me of God winks, which are the things he does. That reminds us he is with us always. I wish you and your family a wonderful year.❤
Thank you for all the really lovely videos you shared with us in 2023.HAPPY NEW YEAR for 2024 🥳🎉
Hoping 2024 is bright 💫
I loved this so much. I’ve just started my five minute journal today as journaling is one of my in’s this year. I love that the journal encourages you to practice mindfulness and gratitude 🤍
Allison. Ive been watching your channel in 2023. Thank you for all your lovely videos. You have been a light in my life. Happy New Year to you and your loved ones!!
thank you so much may god make all your dreams come true HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!!!!
I love your outlook on the hardships you’ve experienced. Maybe the timing was perfect in Gods eyes because he needed you to learn the lesson of not being in control? Just another way to look at it.
God bless you and your husband with a beautiful, healthy baby! Yes, in his timing. Happy New Year! ❤️ G
Allison, trusting in God’s timing has been a hard challenge for me too, but I’m looking forward to working on that alongside you in 2024 💗
Your warm hair colour is SO flattering with your skin tone!!
I just love you mama.. I pray all ur dreams come true.. motherhood is on my list as well.. God timing is the best timing
Such beautiful goals! Thank you for sharing. Definitely inspires me while crafting my hopes for 2024. Praying for a joyous year over you and your family.
Such a special video! Thank you for your faith and light, Allison!
I could listen to you talk all day! You should be a motivational speaker or just make videos of reading your favorite quotes or poems. Your videos bring me such joy. Blessings for the new year and I hope you have your best year yet ❤
Also fun fact about the moon. The moon phases synch up to women’s cycles and affects them.
I found your channel a while back..I loved the sweetness, wholesome and honest way you are. I'm prob old enough to be your mom 😂 but I love the positive feel. Ever since your loss, which I am so sorry and cried when you aired that video...I have felt and seen the pain and change in you💔 And as soon as you said you were on there verge of tears on this, my heart broke. We all pray for you and your husband, who seems to be so loving! Be gentle with yourself, kind when it's most difficult and take your time to heal. God's plan is in action for you! ❤ Listen to your soul's whisper...it never lies! xoxo
I adore the way you romanticize the little things. It's truly beautiful. I want to virtually hug you. I know this loss has been so challenging for you and your husband, and I think it has been challenging for us to watch such a beautiful and loving couple struggle with one of the hardest loses. I loss my oldest full term back in 2012 and I gave up on life.. for quite a long time. Once I cleaned up my mental health and consumption and focused on allowing time to take place if and when another child would enter our lives, we got pregnant with our beautiful baby boy. We later had another boy and our wold is filled with so much purpose and joy! The time will come for you, but you are right, the timing is not for us to decide. Rest your body and mind❤ your time will come❤
I also am so proud to hear you are giving up on artificial scents! You'll find your senses high-end when they aren't so bogged down with fragrances! It's also so much better for your body and mind!
Good luck to you this upcoming year! I'll be here every step of the way, enjoying each moment you praise❤
Good morning ! Hope you have the best new year!
Ahh Allison!! I love this so much and what a year!! I have loved watching your videos this year and coming along each week!! I am so proud of how far you’ve come and i hope you become a mom in 2024! I have also loved all your gardening videos and obviously your holiday ones the most!! I can’t wait to see what you have in store for the coming year. I would love more organization and cooking/ baking videos. Ilysm and I hope you’re having an amazing day!! Cheers to 2024! 💕
I really pray that in 2024 you will get your baby ❤ 🙏🏻
Allison-I just wanted to share a story on God's timing. I was like you-I tried to plan the birth of our first child. We waited two years after we got married to try to conceive. We had a house, my husband had a good job. In MY eyes, everything was perfect. I couldn't understand why it wasn't happening. We had just started to have testing done on why we couldn't conceive. THEN, 911 happened and our world was turned upside down. My husband was deployed for a year. We ended up moving and all of a sudden trying to have a baby was put on hold. God led me into teaching. He had bigger plans for us. I ended up having my first child 7 years after marriage!!! I now look back and completely understand why things happened the way they did. God always sees the bigger picture. Even though I thought the timing was right in MY eyes, it wasn't in God's timing. One thing about being a child of God: we can rest assure that His timing is ALWAYS perfect.
so hopeful for 2024! sending much love to you and your family ! 🤍
Much love right back to you 💌
Love hearing Allison talk about her faith ❤
2024 has this vibe of being more wholesome and living in a simplistic way so I love that you mentioned doing more toned down hang outs. Prime example that it doesn’t have to be extravagant to be able to get the same benefit of the idea ❤ my goal is to not over consume or be over influenced to buy stuff. Lol staying off social media and being more present in my reality will be my goal so I can live that out 😅
Allison, you are such a calming influence that I always look forward to your next video! As always, thank you for your honesty and kindness and I truly do wish that you have a beautiful year ahead! 💕
You are such a positive person. I wish Motherhood for you! Let go and let God! Happy New Year! Enjoy life!
👵💜I love the elegance, grace and beauty in your videos. Wishing the best and more in 2024.👵💜
thank you for sharing, allison! i too had a miscarriage this year so im pursuing and praying for motherhood this year too. lets pray and leave the rest to God. excited to journey this year with you ❤
I’m so excited about this video (well, all your videos) but really needed some inspiration for the new year. This season is beautiful, but the constant go-go-go is exhausting. Between finals, work, holidays I’ve been on autopilot. This video has inspired me to take some very needed ME time to dream, and realign myself to my goals and intentions. Thank you, thank you ❤️
You are a ray of sunshine ☀️💕
Thank you, lovely 🎀
This is one of my fav videos you do during the year:) Thank you so much for always being such a sweet soul and inspiration! Praying for you!
Happy New Year beautiful Allison! Thank you for another year of inspiration, beauty, hope and creativity! See you next year!
Hope you, Brandon, Palmer and your parents had a magical Christmas Allison🎄. I also love journaling my goals for the New Year, 2023 was the best year of the 2020s for me, wishing you the most wonderful year on 2024 can't wait for all your 2024 content. Lots of love✨️!
Hoping and praying for a 2024 full of blessings!!❤
I love the idea of an "ins and outs" list! Greatly enjoyed this video and appreciate everything you put out! It's part of my "chill time"- if I'm feeling stressy or unproductive, I will put on one of your videos while I cook, or clean, or just need a breather! Happy New Year, Allison, Brandon and Palmer!
I love the idea of an ins and outs list! Definitely going to try that. Our Bible study just made vision boards together and it was the most fun. Thank you for sharing!
Allison your video was so touching, inspiring and beautiful. Thank you for sharing your life with us! You truly are joy filled, and give hope and love in every video! Life has its challenges but your grace, gratitude and hopefulness have been such a blessing to me. You are so encouraging and such a beautiful person. I'm so thankful for you and all that you bring to our world. May God bless you and Brandon in 2024 and may all your hopes and dreams come true. Happy New Year! Sending much love and a big hug 💖🤗✨🕊️
God's timing is beautiful! Thank you for sharing His wisdom 🤍
I loved this video! Could you make a video on your Sabbath routine/how you prepare for it?
I absolutely love you and your videos, I’m always excited when I see another video is out. I am so sorry about your guys loss a couple months ago but I love how you are really trying to remember it’s all in God’s timing when your family will grow. I am in the same boat, I haven’t had a miscarriage but me and my husband have been trying over 2 years and it hasn’t happened for us and it is hard but it really is all in God’s timing and I hope that your timing is soon! 💕
Allison, We all need inspiration! To motivate and live with intention. I love the poem. My goal is to bring beauty and romance in every aspect of my life. More self care. Creating memories. Spreading more love and kindness. Laughing more..,yes!💗🌸
Not gonna lie Allison, I am soooo ready for your Spring videos, more specifically, your gardening videos🤭🤭 Just couple more months!
Thank you for showing us both your celebrations and your heartache, Allison. I know that it must be hard sometimes, but it is such a blessing to see your joy and faith through all situations. We are praying for your little family’s healing and for motherhood to grace you soon! My goals for this coming year is to read through the whole bible (attempt number 15 I’m sure), and to complete a 40 day fast and devotion with my church! I have had so many struggles with completing my Bible study programs, but this year I am hopeful because I am using something called the Bible Recap which has been super helpful and engaging so far! I am starting with the New Testament first. Happy New Year Allison, Brandon, and Palmer!
Happy New Year!
