Hi everyone! Can you please keep my twin B, Logan, in your prayers. I had them 3 months early, almost 4 months ago and he's still in the NICU. He broke the hospital's record for longest NICU stay at 110 days. He might have to be transferred to a bigger hospital because of some lung issues he's having. He's been through so much already and we just want him home 💔
Merina,you have been such a beautiful joy to watch flowering 💐 into this role of wife,mother, homemaker and evangelist. I just wanted to tell you how much love and prayers and joy I have received from you and Shane ❤🙏🥰. Oh,just remember anything frozen that you can put in the crockpot .
Can I just say I love reading through the comments and seeing everyone praying for one another, it’s refreshing and we need more of this in our world . Sending prayers, love and light . Blessings
Hey girl. My hubby is in the hospital with kidney issues so I always watch and it brings me peace. Thank you for doing what u do. Love to you and your family 🎉
I wasn’t having the best of days. Seeing your face has cheered me up. Could you also say some prayers for my cousin? He has been diagnosed with liver disease and currently has uncontrolled bleeding in his esophagus and is having seizures. 🙏🏻 Thank you. God Bless.
A couple weeks ago someone said they were so blessed that their marriage has reaped the rewards of prayers since asking for them here, and i commented requesting the same kind of prayers she received 🥴 guess what? After 2 years, those prayers were all we needed ❤
I love all of your energy. Well spent time with the cleaning the living room and getting the couch cleaned also. I try to do little burst like that, but some days there just in't much energy to burst with.😅 I'm glad to see you are feeling better. I continue to enjoy your videos, whether they are a day in your life, cleaning, cooking or doing DIY. Keep them coming. (my follow up mammogram with what felt like a gazillion pictures and the ultrasound, despite my worry, all came out fine. Benign. So grateful.)
The history of the crock pots has been around for CENTURIES! And is blessing my life still TODAY...I love what you MIX in it....looking forward to the ISLAND DREAM PLANS...YIKES!!! And still hacking the couch cleaning...cheaper than buying new!!! YOU ARE INSPIRATIONAL! ❤
@@fearfullycreatedHi Marina, I am 69 years old so I no longer have children to keep up with. But I still enjoy your channel very much. I think the main reason I love it so much is because you are so real. I moved to Texas almost 4 years ago, but I don't care for it here. I would really like to live somewhere that has some nice scenery like mountains, green, and bodies of water. Unfortunately where I am here in Texas there is none of that. I love your mobile home. You have really made it very pretty inside. I lived in an older single wide mobile home and I was much younger so I redid the whole inside. It was such a dollhouse when I was finished and I was very content living there. I have said all that to ask you if the cost of a used mobile and park rent is affordable where you live? I don't even know if you will read this, but I thought it was worth a try. Thank you so much if it does reach you. Joette
Started watching your videos last October and have enjoyed every single one since then. Watching you and your family always brings a smile to my face! Thank you for posting and being so vocal about jesus i love it. ❤️
Just wanted to share this. I have pets too and I found a great freshener to use on floors, carpets, furniture anything you want to smell better. It is Odor Removal from Rug Doctor. I water it down and put in a spray bottle or you can use it straight. It has a good smell too.
So excited to see another video!!! Lifting you, your family and our community in prayer today!!! Blessings to all for health, love and lots of laughter!!!
Hi! Always remember to trim the wicks on your candle every time you relight them! Pit a lid on them when you blow them out to keep the scent in but, fan the soot n smoke before you put lid on. That will help your candle burn even an retain its scent! Take a damp paper towel before you light it an wipe the groom's black soot off of the inside glass! Not lit right😮 xo
Trim the wick before you ever burn a candle. The very first time too. And trim it before you relight each time. I wrap mine in aluminum foil if it burns uneven just to even out the wax.
@@rachealchurch4559 well people know to trim the wick when you buy a candle because of the length. If you don't know that you shouldnt burn candles! Just the same blow it out,if you leave your home and always keep out of reach of children an pets...
I’m out “camping” in our RV with my husband & we just got back from a zipline adventure. This video is the perfect way to relax before dinner. ❤ Thanks friend
The humidity in Texas is horrible right now, so moisture isn’t my friend right now while cleaning fabrics inside. Mold happens quickly in damp areas, so have good airflow if you experience this. The sour smell is an obvious sign. Ask me how I know. Lol
Here’s a tip that I use at my house… I take a laundry basket and put a trash bag in one in the one in it’s free for items that don’t belong in that room and the other end has the bag in it so I can throw away trash And I just empty the items as I go to the room that belongs to and when I’m finish, I have a trash bag to throw away.
Might I suggest pulling the rug from underneath the couch so much :) I used to do this also because I thought that’s what would look best but actually pulling it out makes the room feel bigger plus you’re getting more usage out of the rug rather than it just sitting underneath the couch. Just something to try! Then you don’t always have to purchase such a large rug also!
I can’t wait for this Kitchen Island surprise ❤ Y’all have come so far in DIY projects from using a butter knife and all that. So proud of y’all!!!! #GOALS
When I was cooking for my family, frozen meats were always put in the cock pot at 10 a.m. to cook all day. Never a problem, always good, don't worry. 🥰💐🪷🌼🌞💗✝💖🇺🇲 Your home looks lovely !
You got the daggone thing done Girl!! I thoroughly cleaned my house today too! Girl you need to get you a candle warmer lamp. I got one the other day off Amazon and OMG! It makes your candles last longer and they put off more smell. No fire needed!! It was a little pricey but worth every penny!!
Hi everyone. Last video i asked for prayers for my dad because of his returning colon cancer. I found out today my brother, who survived pancreatic cancer in his late 30s, now has prostrate cancer at age 50. My anxiety is through the roof as well as my pain. Please keep them both in your prayers
Your a great stay home momma and wife. I do enjoy watching your videos. You do so much for your family. I am 55 years old. I was a stay home wife and mom but once our kids were in school all day I cleaned some houses to add some income but I was done before they got out of school so I could pick them up. So I worked part time doing that. Their dad worked full time but I was home with them and I know that makes a difference. God bless you Merina as you and Shane raise your kids up in the ways of the Lord and you home school them. They are learning a lot being home and seeing the responsibility it takes to run a household.
That's why I ditched my cloth sectional & got a leather one. My couch survived many messes..4 kids & my grandbaby. But it looked awful no matter what I did. When my son had the flu and threw up all over. I Couldn't get the smell out. My new leather one is so much easier to clean! You did awesome ♡ everything looked great!!
I think of all the claw holes and holes kids make with pencils, straws etc. On leather pets would not be allowed unless they down only.. my nieces is ruined from her kids cats and dogs.
Love the cleaning video..aren’t those pups like 2 more kids😂😂 it’s raining out and Otis doesn’t get his walk in, I’m constantly yelling at him to behave and then I turn around and I remember it’s just me and him in the house.😂😂 since it’s just us in the house he is so protective of me. (20 pd wheaton cairn terrier). He hates anybody near me especially dogs! He loves people, but he takes his cue from me. If I feel safe, then he feels safe. But have someone deliver groceries and knock on the door all heck breaks loose and let’s not even talk about when we walk and a car gets too close to me 😂😂love you my sister in Christ❤❤
We are perfectly imperfect….which is what I always tell everyone when they come into our home. We do diy as well and there are always areas that are not perfect. True reflection of life.☺️❤️
Love the cleaning motivation ! Those pups were so cute grabbing out their toys you put away .🙂 . I love my house when I get that deep cleaning done feels so fresh .
Hi all xx Hope you are doing good. I must say it's just after 12 at night here in Glasgow, it's so hot, clammy and uncomfortable here, we are bit used to the heat in Scotland, the rain yes but not this heat lol. Hopefully we get a down pour so it lifts some if the closeness put if the air. Anyhoo love to all xx
Your videos are a joy to me. I’ve recently retired. We are rebuilding our home after a house fire in 2021. I’m getting decor ideas from you. My 7 grand babies are all older than your children and I miss the good ole days of nurturing my babies. Your kiddos are so sweet and I enjoy when they are part of the video. There are a couple reasons why you might have a receding hairline. Thyroid issues maybe? But keeping your hair up all the time can certainly cause it. I had to laugh Merina when I saw you drag your trash can into the living room. Having a husband, 4 kids and 2 dogs is a mess waiting to happen. God bless you sweetie and I’m so glad you are feeling better.
Hey Merina. I always love watching you and Shane 's grocery haul. I know you probably get tired of all the prayer request. I wanted to ask you all to pray for me. I finally got through the cancer and chemo. Now I will be having my gallbladder taken out next Thursday the 22 nd. Can't seem to catch a break. I'm glad to see you are doing better.
I NEVER get tired of them EVER! Hit me with all the prayer requests! It’s what I’m here for ❤️ I had mine taken out when I was 19 and the toughest part was the gas 😭
You keep a lovely home, Marina! I can smell how clean that living room is from here! 😂 Your doggies are just endearing and hilarious. They are like little cartoons trotting around. I got such a kick out of them, dragging their toys back out the second you put them away! 🐕🐕
Hey girl! So happy to finally be on time. Hope your feeling better friend! 😊❤ thanks for sharing with us a cleaning motivation; Lord knows I need it! 😂😊
@fearfullycreated♥️ Merina🌹Love All Your Video Footages♥️ Absolutely Love The Decor And The Upgrades Done In Your Home♥️ But Baby Girl If You Want A Rug In The Living Room⁉️ Make Your Life Easier And Get An Area Rug That Just Goes In Front Of The Sofa So You Don't Struggle Pulling And Pushing The Sofa With Rug Underneath Getting All Twisted/Tangled Under Sofa😊🥰‼️ May God Continue To Bless✝️ You All🙏🏻 And Keep You All Safe🙏🏻 Strong🙏🏻 And Healthy Always🙏🏻 In Jesus Christ Our Lord And Savior 🙏🏻🕊AMEN🕊🙏🏻
Hi Merina, happy to see u today, love your videos. Here’s a lil suggestion, put a small waste trash can in your living room. Teach the kids to use it and u will have no trash on the floor. Also, before going to bed each night have a quick tidy up in the living room for everyone, pick up, put pillows and throws back. Each day u will wake up to a clean living room.
We are just getting over a nasty sickness we think it's because of the smoke we breathe in for a week up here from Canada. My whole house except my six year old grandson got it. Our skies were yellow and gray due to fires in Canada we were told to stay in but you could still smell the rubber burning. Im glad your on the mend and making us another video to enjoy.
Hey there! Love your videos. Want to share a “cleaning tip” with you. I noticed at the 2:32 mark you lit a candle. Always. I repeat ALWAYS trim the candle wick before lighting it. Trim it back to about a quarter inch. When the wick is too long (and it’s always too long after a previous burning) it will make crazy black smoke! That’s why the top of your candle jar is black. Also, the soot from the too long wick leaves residue on your walls and any other surfaces. Just a tip you might want to start practicing. It will keep your house cleaner. 😊
Hi merina and fearfully community! I am feeling so anxious tommorow is my sweet mums celebration of life and im hoping to have the strength to be strong for my dad. ...this video is the distraction i needed ! X
The dogs were especially cute and funny this video. They have big personalities! Your home looks beautiful and the chicken sandwiches looked delicious!❤️
If you clean out your dryer vent at the end of the day use with water underneath the faucet then let it dry overnight before sticking it back in the next morning, it seems like your clothes will dry faster and catch more lint. I started doing that with my dryer and it's been working so far for me
You always brighten my day 😢. On a bright sunshiny day, take your removable cushions and set them outside on your porch to air out. Sunshine is wonderful. Learned that trick from my Italian landlord. She aired out things you would not believe. Even in the winter she opened the windows for about 30 minutes. When I wash my sheets and pillowcases, I air out my bed pillows.
As a mother of twins with issues. Hang in there. You are loved and respected. I share your unique journey. It can get worse before it gets better. But it can get get better. It will, I do believe, because it did, thank God.
Excellent job on your living room Merina 👏.... and supper looked so good 😊 but my favorite part was BINX AND TATER....I LOVE THEM!!! SO funny them getting their toys right back out of the bins as soon as you put them away😊...Merina and Shane and children be blessed always 🙏 🙏🙏
Hola. U have really made ur house into a home. All the decor flows so well. It's so cool how u and Shane keep one another balanced. I still have tags on so many items i purchased years ago. I'm receding & thinning. It's hereditary in my family. Love ur music. It's fitting to ur personality. The song when u said, "she didnt have to go in like that," I love. Ive used it in a few of my videos. I always do a Gypsy couch clean. I learned it from the Gypsy sisters. U got a lot accomplished even with the couch taking up extra time. Im glad u celebrate being productive.i love me some Ollies. Ur analogies crack me up! Binks is gangsta 😂 TFS have a wonderful week. The pulled chicken looks yummy
Hello Marina, love all your DIYs videos.😊❤😂 I know I have mentioned this before 😂❤. I just love you and your beautiful family 🙏🤗Your hubby and beautiful children are AWESOME. THANK YOU FOR ENDING YOUR VIDEOS TELLING US HOW MUCH YOU LOVE US BUT NOT FORGET THAT GOD LOVES US MORE😊❤🙏 From EL PASO STRONG ❤️ TEXAS 🙏🤗💖🖐️
Hey merina. I also enjoy my candle and wax after cleaning the house and using them at the same time. Guess its true great minds think a like. Glad to hear ya feel better. Enjoy the rest of your evening.❤ from georgia
Yay so happy to watch from the first moment! I can’t wait to get stuff done while I watch you. I so look forward to your videos. Hope you and your family have a blessed weekend.💐
Lol Colton is Shane! When he looked back and said your need to get back to your video.... lol.. thats something Shane would have said! haha.. too cute! Love watching your family. Reminds me of when my kids were little! Thank you for opening your life for us!!! God Bless
Hello! Slow cooker is the only way I ever cook chicken, still here at 67 years old. Yes your hair can receed. There's alot of shampoo and conditioner for that problem. If you have a Sally beauty by you or online they have a great hair regrowth system for like $20. But there's also hair skin and nails vitamins, they help. All the home remedies is a great rabbit hole on RUclips. I know this because I went down the rabbit hole so far I could clean rabbit pooh! Mostly stop messing with your hair or it will look 90 before your 50. The pony tail I can make now at 67 is about half the size of one side of my hair when I was 20.
Way back when, I only cleaned floors by scrubbing on my hands and knees. Bad Knees and knee replacements changed that. Too bad, I could really get them so clean back then. I use a spay Bona cleaner for wood floors now.
Hello beautiful I hope your having a wonderful week today and last night I went back and watched old videos over again lol I hope y’all have a great weekend be kind god bless much love ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Merina, I’ve only seen your videos twice and just subscribed. I’m excited to be part of your channel because you’re a inspiration. We are purchasing our first manufactured home and hopefully be moving in by Oct so excited to get tips and help. Keep up the great work and thank you. Love your pops too! Have a wonderful day and God continue to bless your family. ❤
I use Bissell carpet cleaner for pets on my furniture and it really gets dirt out. Also I have old bedspreads on my recliners because of my dog. I just put them in washer every week and they protect the chairs from really getting to dirty.
Hi Merina, try to think ahead, put you frozen meat in the refrigerator a day or two in advance so it will be thawed out, it will cook quicker. You don't half to worry if the meat gets done. You are a wonderful housekeeper, but I'm afraid your knees are gonna start getting sore and inflamed from you cleaning your floor on you hand and knees. Maybe you should just use a mop. Maybe when your ready for a new sofa I would get leather or faux leather so you don't have to work so hard!!!💖
This might seem a strange request but here goes. Can y’all pray that my grandson gets potty trained before family goes on vacation this summer. He seems really opposed to it. He will be 3 beginning of September. Thanks
I always in enjoy your videos your home is always so warm and cozy I love what you guys have done to your home until next video may God bless you and your family
LOVE your videos!! You inspired me to clean & organize my pantry-thoroughly! It is a big, walk-in, with 10 foot tall ceilings. Trust me, when I say it took me several days to get it like I wanted! SPEAKING OF A PANTRY...I was at Hobby Lobby today. (6/15/23). They had the "PANTRY" SIGN you were looking for a few videos ago! --40 or 50% OFF, too!! 🥰
Hi everyone! Can you please keep my twin B, Logan, in your prayers. I had them 3 months early, almost 4 months ago and he's still in the NICU. He broke the hospital's record for longest NICU stay at 110 days. He might have to be transferred to a bigger hospital because of some lung issues he's having. He's been through so much already and we just want him home 💔
Praying for him.🙏🏻

This comment probably just made my whole year 🥺❤️🙏🏼
Can I just say I love reading through the comments and seeing everyone praying for one another, it’s refreshing and we need more of this in our world . Sending prayers, love and light . Blessings
Me too❤
If you put the sliders under the heavy things like the sofa, it will be easier on your back, they aren’t too expensive and they are amazing!
Currently doing a Q&A on Instagram stories if you wanna get in on it I’ll be over there for most of the evening 😊
Hey girl. My hubby is in the hospital with kidney issues so I always watch and it brings me peace. Thank you for doing what u do. Love to you and your family 🎉
I’m praying for your hubby. Her videos bring me comfort and peace too.🙏🏻
We’re praying for him friend!
Prayers ❤❤, 🙏🙏
Prayers for your husband
Praying for him and you too love, hope everything is well soon!💖
We haven't seen Nanny for awhile, I hope she is doing well these days. She is so precious.
I wasn’t having the best of days. Seeing your face has cheered me up. Could you also say some prayers for my cousin? He has been diagnosed with liver disease and currently has uncontrolled bleeding in his esophagus and is having seizures. 🙏🏻 Thank you. God Bless.

Suggestion, when you wash the first time, follow up with clear hot water. This gets the dirt and soap residuals out of the fabric.❤
THANK YOU!!!!!! I haven’t got this advice yet! I’ll do that 😊

Hi Merina, happy to see u today, love your videos. Here’s a lil suggestion, put a small waste trash can in your living room. Teach the kids to use it and u will have no trash on the floor. Also, before going to bed each night have a quick tidy up in the living room for everyone, pick up, put pillows and throws back. Each day u will wake up to a clean living room.
My sister puts one in every room. She said it helps with her son putting it in the trash can. Method seems to work.😂
We are just getting over a nasty sickness we think it's because of the smoke we breathe in for a week up here from Canada. My whole house except my six year old grandson got it. Our skies were yellow and gray due to fires in Canada we were told to stay in but you could still smell the rubber burning. Im glad your on the mend and making us another video to enjoy.
I cook all kinds of frozen meats in the crockpot. We have never been sick and I am 68 years old. So keep on keeping.
I TRUST YALL WITH MY LIFE I SWEAR 🤣
Hey there! Love your videos. Want to share a “cleaning tip” with you. I noticed at the 2:32 mark you lit a candle. Always. I repeat ALWAYS trim the candle wick before lighting it. Trim it back to about a quarter inch. When the wick is too long (and it’s always too long after a previous burning) it will make crazy black smoke! That’s why the top of your candle jar is black. Also, the soot from the too long wick leaves residue on your walls and any other surfaces. Just a tip you might want to start practicing. It will keep your house cleaner. 😊
My mama always said when you know better, you do better! You have come so far, and all of your friends on here see you, sis!😊
Hi merina and fearfully community! I am feeling so anxious tommorow is my sweet mums celebration of life and im hoping to have the strength to be strong for my dad.
...this video is the distraction i needed ! X
The dogs were especially cute and funny this video. They have big personalities! Your home looks beautiful and the chicken sandwiches looked delicious!❤️
They are like little toddlers running around 😂
Happy Father's Day to Shane! Love you guys!
If you clean out your dryer vent at the end of the day use with water underneath the faucet then let it dry overnight before sticking it back in the next morning, it seems like your clothes will dry faster and catch more lint. I started doing that with my dryer and it's been working so far for me
I hope you & your family have a blessed morning, afternoon, evening, night & summer! 🥰🐾🐾
Loved the video. Right on time. Anxious day and evening. Your videos always help - no matter what you are doing. God bless you all.
You always brighten my day 😢. On a bright sunshiny day, take your removable cushions and set them outside on your porch to air out. Sunshine is wonderful. Learned that trick from my Italian landlord. She aired out things you would not believe. Even in the winter she opened the windows for about 30 minutes. When I wash my sheets and pillowcases, I air out my bed pillows.
As a mother of twins with issues. Hang in there. You are loved and respected. I share your unique journey. It can get worse before it gets better. But it can get get better. It will, I do believe, because it did, thank God.
Excellent job on your living room Merina 👏.... and supper looked so good 😊 but my favorite part was BINX AND TATER....I LOVE THEM!!! SO funny them getting their toys right back out of the bins as soon as you put them away😊...Merina and Shane and children be blessed always 🙏 🙏🙏
I have never thought to use my meat chopper to shred chicken or pork in the crock pot. I bet thats a game changer! Thank you!
I hope you're feeling better! You're doing such a great job at maintaining your home! I'm so proud of you! Love ya'll ❤️
I’m feeling SO much better!
Rubbing alcohol is awesome for shampooing if you have pet odor. I just add it with whatever carpet soap I’m using. House is looking good!
Dinner and a clean house life is good.
Hola. U have really made ur house into a home. All the decor flows so well. It's so cool how u and Shane keep one another balanced. I still have tags on so many items i purchased years ago. I'm receding & thinning. It's hereditary in my family. Love ur music. It's fitting to ur personality. The song when u said, "she didnt have to go in like that," I love. Ive used it in a few of my videos. I always do a Gypsy couch clean. I learned it from the Gypsy sisters. U got a lot accomplished even with the couch taking up extra time. Im glad u celebrate being productive.i love me some Ollies. Ur analogies crack me up! Binks is gangsta 😂 TFS have a wonderful week. The pulled chicken looks yummy

You are the funniest and most down to earth content created I have ever come across !! Loved the video !!
You and Shane have done a beautiful job on your home!😊❤
Hi Merina love your videos and you have definitely turned your home into a mobile mansion. It’s really nice.
Thank you so much I am in love with it ❤️
I admire how u can get so much done. U inspire me to get off the couch and get started. Thank you.
Congratulations Merina. You're almost at 100k subscribers!!!
Yay so happy to watch from the first moment! I can’t wait to get stuff done while I watch you. I so look forward to your videos. Hope you and your family have a blessed weekend.💐
Get that daggone thang done friend! 😊
Lol Colton is Shane! When he looked back and said your need to get back to your video.... lol.. thats something Shane would have said! haha.. too cute! Love watching your family. Reminds me of when my kids were little! Thank you for opening your life for us!!! God Bless
Make sure you change those furnance filters after doing all that sanding inside. will help also with not repeat dust from that project
Love you friend!!!!! Your mobile mansion looks so cozy and comfy!!!🫶
Hello! Slow cooker is the only way I ever cook chicken, still here at 67 years old. Yes your hair can receed. There's alot of shampoo and conditioner for that problem. If you have a Sally beauty by you or online they have a great hair regrowth system for like $20. But there's also hair skin and nails vitamins, they help. All the home remedies is a great rabbit hole on RUclips. I know this because I went down the rabbit hole so far I could clean rabbit pooh! Mostly stop messing with your hair or it will look 90 before your 50. The pony tail I can make now at 67 is about half the size of one side of my hair when I was 20.
Hahhahaha the rabbit poo comment got me 😂😂😂😂
Way back when, I only
cleaned floors by scrubbing on my hands and knees. Bad Knees and knee replacements changed that.
Too bad, I could really get them so clean back then. I use a spay Bona cleaner for wood floors now.
You can also put the cushions outside on the patio on a nice day to air out
I'm stealing that chicken recipe! It looks so good! Great job on the house, too! ❤😊
Hello beautiful I hope your having a wonderful week today and last night I went back and watched old videos over again lol I hope y’all have a great weekend be kind god bless much love ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Merina, I’ve only seen your videos twice and just subscribed. I’m excited to be part of your channel because you’re a inspiration. We are purchasing our first manufactured home and hopefully be moving in by Oct so excited to get tips and help. Keep up the great work and thank you. Love your pops too! Have a wonderful day and God continue to bless your family. ❤
Love your wall with the window bench and cabinet...I must have missed that video. Your house is Beautiful
Iam proud of you on how you are keeping your home 🏡 clean
Thank you for keeping me company while I did my pre-cooked meals for the week. Always a blessing🙏
Have you tried taking the cushion covers off the couch and washing them? It makes the biggest difference, way better than just using the extractor!
Love this! I have been going through all the old videos and was worried about running out while I am deep cleaning spring/summer 😅❤🎉
Shew friend there’s a ton of em 😅😅😅😂😂 I’ve done lost count lol
Isn’t is amazing how much stuff accumulates in and under the couch! I swear every house has that 😁 Great job cleaning up mama
Please say a prayer for me and my husband, much needed!!
I use Bissell carpet cleaner for pets on my furniture and it really gets dirt out. Also I have old bedspreads on my recliners because of my dog. I just put them in washer every week and they protect the chairs from really getting to dirty.
Marina you are a wonderful house keeper,and a beautiful mother and wife.
Hi Merina, try to think ahead, put you frozen meat in the refrigerator a day or two in advance so it will be thawed out, it will cook quicker. You don't half to worry if the meat gets done. You are a wonderful housekeeper, but I'm afraid your knees are gonna start getting sore and inflamed from you cleaning your floor on you hand and knees. Maybe you should just use a mop. Maybe when your ready for a new sofa I would get leather or faux leather so you don't have to work so hard!!!💖
Great video. I wash my couch cushions in the washer and dry them too.
I've been putting frozen chicken in the crockpot for years. Hasn't killed me yet lol.
Thank the Lord 🤣
Living room looked nice!
I need this motivation right now!!! ❤
Get that daggone thang done! 😊
This might seem a strange request but here goes. Can y’all pray that my grandson gets potty trained before family goes on vacation this summer. He seems really opposed to it. He will be 3 beginning of September. Thanks
I always in enjoy your videos your home is always so warm and cozy I love what you guys have done to your home until next video may God bless you and your family
LOVE your videos!! You inspired me to clean & organize my pantry-thoroughly! It is a big, walk-in, with 10 foot tall ceilings. Trust me, when I say it took me several days to get it like I wanted! SPEAKING OF A PANTRY...I was at Hobby Lobby today. (6/15/23). They had the "PANTRY" SIGN you were looking for a few videos ago! --40 or 50% OFF, too!! 🥰
I always put frozen food in the crockpot. I’m still here😂
Thank You Jesus for that 😂😂
