I lost my son close to Christmas so it was hard that first year Just give yourself grace to remember and grieve. Gods love is your strength. God bless y’all.
I understand Amy my Daddy just passed away on the 13th of November. Thanksgiving was really hard, every day is hard right now. I know Christmas is gonna be rough 😥 ugh here come me tears. Love you my friend praying for you ❤
Praying for you and your family, holidays are very different, especially the first year. May God comfort you and bless you as you continue to navigate the grieving journey. God bless you and hold you in His arms ❤
I completely understand. It is especially hard around the holidays. March 11, 2024 will be 3 years since my Dad passed away. Please take time for yourself. We understand. We will be here for you. ❤❤❤
As i was watching you put your tree up i thought you needed some wieghts at the bottom to make sure it stays put , so im doing that to mine , thank you. Ps i had a dream i came to visit and i hadso much fun uou let me stay for awhile. It was so fun , but t was a dream i am not that much fun, with this illness ,I'm down a lot, but i like that fun loving way you care for your family, never had that .😊. I didn't realize that the thing the kiddos got the other day treats were for Christmas, I Love it ,I'm going to use it
If you have the space put it on top of a sturdy box or crate to make more space underneath it for presents. That's what we have always done. Wow, needed an earplug warning for that alarm! 🤯
I choose wrapping paper based on the person each member of the family gets there own paper this year my grandson chose Santa paper so he got that with green bows it looks so cute u see the tree and I don’t even use name tags bc I know is who has what paper
God Bless You ❤ We still get a real tree. I love the smell in the house. It is a hard time, I lost my son at 19 in Oct and his birthday is today. Holidays are hard for me as well. Have to stay busy and take time for yourself.
Amy you are such and optimistic and upbeat person! You constantly encourage others on how to move on from rough patches so you know what to do when you have a less than wonderful day but I want to encourage you with the same advice I give my ladies group at church. It’s perfectly fine to “feel” those feelings and to wallow in them a minute. For some of us it’s just laying in bed all day, or having a good cry or talking it out with someone you trust so I hope you will allow yourself the grace to do whatever it is that you need to do!! Sometimes it’s more difficult for the ones like you that are gifted with being an encourager to others. I’m praying for you right at this moment!! ❤️
The first holidays are hard, just keep busy as you go thru them. It takes awhile. The last thing my sister said before cancer stole her from me was ‘be happy, have a great life. I would stay if I could’. I honor her and my parents memories best by doing just that. I hope you can get your Dad down soon for a visit to see your new home. Thinking of you Amy .
I understand the hard days, my dad died 10 days ago after his battle with prostate cancer and I can’t seem to get the realisation it’s happened. I know it will take a long time and I will always be looking for my hero, like you I’m sure I will have quiet times where I just need to focus on what’s important and nothing else. This time of year is always hard for most people for one reason or another but this year for us will be so much harder. Christmas was one of my dads favourite times, the decor and lights, the special family time and being able to make all his special people food. He was an amazing cook, good restaurant chef and Christmas dinner will never be the same…. Make sure you take time Amy! Sending love and hugs x
.Holiday season always reminds of us our loved ones who have passed take care Amy . Tree looks wonderful perfect size for the spot you have it in I like it that you keep it real on your channel.😊
Thank you Amy…….my thoughts and prayers are with you. It’s hard around the holidays when you lose a loved one. Even though my dad has been gone a very long time, he past at Christmas time, Christmas is never quite the same. Let yourself feel, grieve,remember but always take care of you. Have a beautiful and blessed day.
Enjoyed watching you today. Started watching you a few years ago and loved when you cook and decorate. Will try the things you did today. Tree looks beautiful
Amy, it actually looks like we have the exact same slim tree. I got mine several years ago and was a little disappointed from the picture to when I got it out of the box, but after the space saved and not having to put as many ornaments and lights, I’ve decided it’s perfect and that I love it more and more every year I use it.
Always a pleasure Amy. You do you dear. Take breaks as you need them, do what you can. Your tree looks perfect! Adapt and overcome❤. Hope your day is going well, see you tomorrow!!❤🙏😎
Smile Amy! I do understand, believe me, but the Sun always shines, sometimes we just need time to reflect, its ok. Take care and thanks for the light you bring to RUclips. God bless! Hugs love and light
I lost my Grandmother in January so this is the first holiday season without her. It is tough but I am thankful she is no longer suffering. Sending you so much Love! ❤
Hmmm.Decorate a Christmas Tree or swim in a heated pool. Sounds like a win-win to me! Amy, you have your quiet time for as long as you need. We all know the feeling. Tree looks lovely and I like the voice over.
Sending hugs and prayers to you Amy totally understand my mom go on to be with the Lord and she loved Christmas and grandkids so praying for you thank you for all you do for us loving your tree 🌴🌊🌈🙏🙏🎄🎄🌹🌹
We had a beautiful angel for our tree topper and it must have been 40 years old by the time we thanked her for her many years of adorning our trees and retired her. We always had real trees growing up and finally bought my first artificial tree 10 years ago on sale after Christmas and it was big and full and pre-lite and twinkled, so pretty. I really don’t think there’s an ugly tree out there, they all have their certain charm
Bless you amy the frist year it the worst for all the holidays especially Christmas and Mother's Day and while it never goes away it does get much better except for Mother's Day I hate to go in the store cuz I don't want to know that I don't have to get a card❤❤❤ grieving the loss of a parent is the process that stretches out over time 🙏🙏🙏
The tree is gorgeous with the lights❤... size doesn't matter, just the beauty! I drew one on newspaper and taped it to the wall one year as a YA. LOL Prayers for you & yours. Blessings and peace. I understand. ❤
I got a pencil tree last year! Love it! Christmas can be lonely even with lots of people around. It is for me. Last year was the first Christmas without my mom and husband. I try to put on a happy face through it Sometimes it works other times not so much. ❤
I always feel like i talked to a friend after watching one of your videos!! I would love some more homeschooling content if you ever are in need of a suggestion!
That sounds will be even Way louder to Maxine bust an ear Drum ! Love your tree you dont need a huge one LESS IS MORE ! I have lights and a star on mine that's it I love it ❤🥰💐
This is the first Christmas without my mum and dad (15 years without him), sadness lingers but I know they wouldn't want that so onwards and upwards always going forward. The grandbabies help as they are only 3 & 5 so a good distraction.
I love the skating in the house! What fun. The kids are so blessed to have their dad and him teaching them skills while making it fun. Have a blessed day.
"Those who walk in darkness have seen a great light, on those living in spaces of deepest darkness a light has dawned." - Isaiah 9:2 you and your family are a great light.I hope your spirit brightens and your days get easier.
Amy your heart aches for her. She’s watching down at you and see’s your pain .We are human we hurt deeply ..she’s in your heart and she is in your mannerisms..look closely she’s in the children’s… embrace it.

I bought a prelit skinny tree at Hobby Lobby . Love it.
I love getting lost in my home, just doing stuff around the house!
I got a pencil tree last year! Love it! Christmas can be lonely even with lots of people around. It is for me. Last year was the first Christmas without my mom and husband. I try to put on a happy face through it Sometimes it works other times not so much. ❤

Receipe for starfish made with flour and food colour ? Baked. Bless you Miss Amy!
I think your palm tree in the kitchen would be awesome with lots and lots of pink flamingos on it. lol
Lol me too
Yes, my home is my sanctuary! It’s where I try to shut out the world!
That sounds will be even Way louder to Maxine bust an ear Drum ! Love your tree you dont need a huge one LESS IS MORE !

Do what u can do. Remember it's ok doing things different. Real life.
Yes Philippians 4:8 that scripture helps me ALL the time
do you and the girls like bath salts and what do the boys like?
They don't do baths but they like scrubs :) boys like fun shower stuff too 😉
For personal safety when I'm alone, i keep a 40ft distance pepper spray on my key chain. More expensive, but with it!

I know you miss your mom, Amy. I’m so sorry.
When I am fluffing the tree I put on cheap $Tree gloves so my hands don’t get all scratched up.
