You my dear, are allowed to have as much "stuff" as you want, and no one has the right to criticize you for it! Do what makes you happy, (and you will be again) I have been in your shoes and came out the other side better, far far better for it. Allow yourself time to heal, as much as you need. Then pick yourself up, take a deep breath and conquer the world!!!! You got this!
Well I think your “stuff” is beautiful and so well placed and organized. Your new home will be so warm, comfortable, and inviting too. You are so strong, positive and resilient. You are an admirable person. Life is full of changes. I’ve learned that and you’ll be just fine. Great things are coming! 😊
I am also going through a divorce, and I can’t tell you there are good and bad days. Don’t listen to people at all; when you pack up your life, there are a lot of things. Know that many feel your pain and frustration, and are sending love and healing vibes your way. I promise, it gets better. It’s just the grief of what was lost. ❤
Well done. Take it all, including the galvanised planters. Then you can declutter and make choices after you have settled into your new home. Best wishes.
Hi Anne I hope you’re doing well. When I went through my divorce I did one room at a time packed it up and closed the door. Like maybe do the kitchen and be done with it. Then go to the family room. It really helped me to stay focused! I’m so sorry you’re going through this! Stay strong honey !!
Man, I don’t understand why people would leave negative comments about how much stuff you have. You clearly don’t have an excess amount of things, and have obviously worked to make a beautiful home. I’m new to your channel, but from what I saw of your last few videos, your home was so beautiful and welcoming. Sorry you’re going through all of this. God bless.
It is your stuff, those who make negative comments probably have stuff as well. I do. I love my stuff. Take it girl. Get it all. Then when you are unpacking and setting up in your new place, you can look at all your stuff, things you love and smile.
Your “stuff” is who you are. When YOU are ready you’ll be able to purge through some of the stuff to make a space for the new you and new things. Be easy on yourself. There is a plan at work. It will all unfold in good time. Cry, grieve, throw a dish or two and then move on. You will be amazed that this part of your life was a learning curve. We are with you! And here’s the rest of the story… if he left you for someone else…. Guess what… he going to leave her too. KARMA.
I'll never understand why people have to "voice" their opinions. I think stuff, but I don't have to "say" it. We need to b kind ESPECIALLY during a time like this. I agree with u about packing everything up & shutting it down, the faster the better for me too. Lingering for me is avoiding the inevitable. I also HATE wasting food, but unfortunately it does happen once in awhile. 😅 U r so strong & I can't imagine what ur going through, but life is short & everyone deserves to b happy...
He’s going to really miss out on having a beautiful homemaker like you. He has no idea the thought and love you put into his life . My heart goes out to you
Obviously there are issues within the marriage. I hate when people just assume it’s the man’s fault. Sometimes marriage doesn’t work with one person but the next it does.
I can't wait to see your new home. Your nice to leave him some stuff, I'm so petty id take everything that wasn't nailed down lol 😂 even my spices, olive oil and all. Your not a pack rat it's the stuff that's yours and what makes you happy. Until the next video sweet girl 🙂💐
To avoid shock, take the plants in the containers they are rooted in atleast just for the move. Once your in your new place, you can attempt transfer to something more your asthetic.
I came across your channel and I am praying for you! You are showing so much strength. No one, no one has the right to say what you have in your home is to much! You are sharing your life with the world and for someone to watch your video and past judgement on items in your beautiful home is shameful.. You may have your up and down days but know you have people who are here to support you!
Ann, your “stuff” is part of you. It is beautiful and will make your new home all warm and cozy. Also, you’re so strong and you’re going to be just fine! Life is full of change. That’s for sure. You are doing great! ❤
Thats your stuff as well, you didnt just buy it with intent for "us" all the time, if that item brings you any type of comfort, inspo for the next place, any good feeling take that ish! You enjoyed making your home a home with every little project or decorating. ❤
I'm sorry some people have been critical of you on here. Best of luck with all of your packing, moving out and moving in. I hope it goes smoothly for you and I hope some new doors open for your life and that some fabulous new people and opportunities come into your life. Hugs. 💐💐♥♥😊😊
Hi😊. This is the kind of video I needed to see to relate to my same scenario that I’m going through or will be going through before this year ends sadly. I’m sorry for what you’re going through. I feel your pain cause I am so going through it already as in mourning cause knowing that this is my last year being married. He is the one that wants the divorce. I wish I could call you up to vent but you are going through the same pain and I know that you need your space. Thank you and your inspiring to me on how your handling it. I’ll be getting myself a dog to keep me company and ease my pain and make me focus on other things as well. I feel lost but one thing is for sure and that is that I am still blessed to have both of my parents that are here for me as I go through this and my 4 daughters that are older now which the baby is 20 years old now. I feel lost and afraid more than other times. I’ll stop here cause then I’ll go on and on. You keep taking care of yourself and we will all be here for you. 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
I've been through this. Just know it does get better. It truly was the best thing that ever happened to me. I send you so much love, understanding and hugs there is something else out there just waiting for you to have the space for it to come into your life. Lots of love to you 🙏🥰🩷
I just found your channel a little while ago. It came on my feed. There are always trolls leaving comments everywhere🤬 you don’t have to explain yourself to them or to us❤❤ I pray that you are so happy in your new home and in your new life..bty, just subscribed ❤❤❤
Exactly, my seasonal stuff is a lot but I am by no means a pack rat I use all my things just not daily and I enjoy hosting! Sorry for your transition but excited for your new life too! ❤
I saw your video on my RUclips feed. I am so sorry you are going through a divorce. I know you said it was not your decision. As hurtful as it might be, be kind to yourself and give yourself Grace.
Hi Ann, I'm new to your channel and it's unbelievable how many channels like yours who are going through tough times that I'm tuning in. I've watched some of your videos and I want to say sometimes good things fall apart so better things can come together. Stay strong for yourself and for your furry boys. Greetings from Sacramento, Ca.
Blessing's as you move foward 🙏🏽 it's really going to be ok. One day at a time and you're going to be more awesome and greater. Marriage doesn't define a woman and whenever you're open, something better happens ❤
New subscriber here! I don’t know your back story, but you have me mesmerized with your intelligence and strength! You’ve got this whole community behind you!
Try to focus on the positives - easier said than done. A new beginning and how fortunate you are to have a home on a beautiful property to move to and to be around family. I’ve read that our brains are hardwired to focus on the negative, called “negative bias”. We have to consciously look at the positives. We can have 100 positive comments and 1 negative and we focus on the negative and that brings us down. Wishing you all the best with the sale of your house, the move & your “new beginning” to your new happy place. I’m a new subscriber & looking forward to see where this move takes you.
Hi, I just came across your channel and subscribed❤ thank you for allowing us into this vulnerable season of your life. I was separated and then divorced at 40. I will be 49 in a few weeks. Take it from me, you will be ok.
Having OCD I tend to get rid of things if they haven’t been used for a few years so when I moved I was shocked at just how much I had to pack 😂 Your life is for living how you choose and on one has the right to judge. It’s a sad time but you will make a new home with new memories. I wish you lots of luck and happiness for your future xx
Ann ❤, I’m new to your channel. Girl, I’ve been where you’re at! It’s painful…but remember you are braver and stronger than you think. It will take time to heal, but you’ve got this. Cheering you on to a peaceful transition in your new life 🙏🤗
Hi, I’m new to your channel. I know Divorce happens more often then not, but I can’t imagine what you’re going through.. I hope everything gets better sooner, and you get settled without a hitch♥️ thank you for allowing us into your world. Xoxo, Bunny🌸
I was the same way. I went through over a year of couples counseling before I realized it was over. When I did, I couldn’t pack and leave fast enough. Good for you🎉
I think it’s exciting that ur having a chance at a fresh start! Yes, New beginnings n opportunities! 😊 Time to let go of all the negativity in our lives and be happy cuz we only get one chance on this earth to live our life to the fullest 💕 I don’t know u, I just happened to have ur video pop up but I wish u nothing but the best on ur new journey n send hugs ur way!
I’m sorry that you are going through a divorce but I do like your outlook on things. You will get through this and you will heal and once you do. you can help someone else that will struggle with a divorce. I always say we go through things to help someone or someone to help us❤ What I can’t understand is why people can’t look at your videos and say you are a pack rat. I don’t see it. You look pretty organized to me and not a lot of stuff. I’m new to your channel and I do enjoy them. I can wait to see what you do to your new home. I wish you the best 😊
You are doing great! My 50th anniversary is in one month and I’m searching for a divorce lawyer. It’s tough!! I need to start a RUclips channel just so I have someone to talk to about it. I wish you all the happiness with your future.
New subscriber here. I have been there, done that. Including with my much loved pets. Who cares how much “ stuff” you may or may not have. We sometimes spend too much time thinking about our exes and trying to be kind and leave things behind that they don’t deserve. I wish now that I had not done that. In my case he cheated. And also came into the marriage with nothing. The good news is that I don’t even give that a thought now and have totally moved on. Being grateful that I was able to support myself and free to live my life as I choose. I also have a supportive family which you do too!!! Wishing you all the best…….. ❤️🙏
Hello just came across your channel, i am widowed now almost 12 years somewhat the same but not, however i do know what its like to pack up and start anew , am i where i should be , no, but i am better than where i started. I wish you love and peace in the coming months , stay strong !! Love from PA ❤️❤️❤️
Just ignore the negative comments and do not feel compelled to have to explain yourself. It is honestly none of people’s business. You will find happiness again, but for now, take one day at a time and allow yourself the time to grieve the loss of your marriage. Keep focused and good luck in your new home. Take as much as you need.
You know what's best for you. Don't worry about what anyone else says ❤ I admire you for how You are handling such a difficult situation. I'm sending hugs & Prayers
Do not let anyone make you feel judged for the amount of “stuff” you have in your home and are now moving. It is no more than most people who have lived in any place for more than a few years would have. I took a couple of house plants from my previous home, and one did well, and the other died, so I am unsure about moving the tomatoes, but hopefully someone with a green thumb can give you better advice 😅😅. Positive energy going your way ❤
That’s exactly what I did no point lagging about. My fiance and I separated after 7 years. Packed up my stuff the next day when he went to work. Two months he got married and they had a baby another two months after that. She was 5 months pregnant before he ended it. Never hurt leaving was so glad I got away. Probably the happiest time of my life.
One day a time ❤ Were moving in with my mom until the divorce is final then we can house hunt. Look at this as the next season of life. Work on yourself and heal your heart and don’t look in the rear view mirror. I listen to Mel Robbins and she’s really empowered my mindset. You are not alone, praying for Peace 🙏🏻🦋🦋🦋🦋
I agree with others about stuff as they say. Some people are minimalist, others are not. Some people are sentimental about things while some could care less who gave them things and are ready to throw it out. It's entirely what makes you happy. I hear the sadness in your voice but you are facing everything head on and very brave I think to be sharing it with everyone.
Spray paint the galvanized containers in a color you like or that matches your Napa home 😊 I don't know if it'll hurt yoyr tomatoes replanting them but I'd hate to do it and shock them. Just a thought, take care!
Listen it’s your LIFE ! You can have whatever you want for STUFF ! So people leaving comments like that they can move along no room here for negativity at this TIME! So I hope they read my comment! You do you ♥️♥️
People can be ridiculous. There's another female creator who has also been moving presently who some have complained about her having stuff too. Probably the same people, lol. You are doing a great job Ann! I think your idea about tackling the decor is brilliant. Back when I had carpet (just wood & tile now) I used to clean by throwing out trash & vacuuming bc visually those took the least effort with the biggest visual impact. Sometimes we just have to trick our brains, lol. So, I am curious about your fur babies. Did you guys get them while together or did one of you already have them? I had an eventful Sunday. Honestly I can't remember if I already shared this with you or not, lol. A neighbor saw there was a new little kitten between our fences. So I was sent to get it. Long story short, I got him, took him to the vet who rejected helping him. He had a serious wound. I started caring for him under guidance of a lady here who is a cat rescue foster mom. Then I was told I can't keep him here so the foster woman took him. Almost as soon as she took him, he passed away. He was a cutie, probably around 4wks old. Now I'm having to combat a possible flea situation with my dogs bc the kitten had fleas. Goodness… We are still getting swarmed by major storms here, daily. Honestly though, I am appreciating them bc they cool us down here (Dallas Tx area). I hope everything is going smoothly for you out there. Oh, I went & followed you on IG. Your YT bio still has your previous link. Cheers to better days ahead & big hugs for the days behind. ((♥️))
Oh my goodness, how terrible! I hope the flea infestation gets solved soon!! We each had one dog when we got together and got our youngest one together!
You could take it with you just change it to what you want the next growing season .or give it to your parents or sibling. If you just really can't handle it in your view just for this season. Or just take it and ditch the container next season and enjoy the tomato s on your salad s in future. Nothing beats a home grown tomato s flavor.
Hi I am new to your channel I feel so bad for you, Hopefully you will be feeling better very soon 💖 It's been many years since I was left but watching your video I do know how your feeling, Napa sounds so wonderful and with your family close, Take Care of You
I'm well aware of what place you're in after loss. I started watching a RUclipsr called All Things Mandy because she did a 30 day walking challenge just as her marriage was ending. She's done wonderful videos on how she's made it through this since last summer. She's so inspiring. Maybe give her a watch. ❤
Hi Ann ,if people choose to comment on stuff instead of seeing the big picture it shows serious lack of empathy on their part. I hope you are coping ok emotionally.❤
Ann I’m new to,your channel but I truly enjoy watching you. You are far from a pak rat. You have a beautifully decorated home and your stuff is beautiful. I’m so sorry you have to go,through this difficult time. I’ve been where you are with the exception of having 2 children. You can and will survive. I’m sorry people have to be negative but just ignore them. If it makes you feel happy just do it . God love you and can’t wait to watch you in your new home. 😊
I'm new to your channel. I'm so sorry for all you are going thru. It's hard enough without having people saying stuff when they have no idea what they are talking about. I always say they like to flex those internet muscles or play behind the screen bully! You just do you sweet girl and take care of yourself!
If you can’t take the plants, list them on marketplace for free or small price. I know locally where I live lots of people share or sell starters off plants. I’m sure someone will take them off your hands!
People go through changes in life. It is hard and hurts. I’m not minimizing it because I can still feel tangible emotional pain of similar situations years later. So I’m not going to say there won’t be a little scar. If there wasn’t I’d be more worried. Your feelings mean that you are a good, caring, loving human being. Your animals & plants and self care will be your greatest therapy. Use this experience as a guide to not repeat this as it’s way too painful. I would get counseling just to understand how to avoid this situation again and do some self exploration. Because others mirror or reflect our behavior and reactions (I’m no therapist). But what I can tell you is that you don’t want to attract this again and so you wanna understand if there’s anything in your past or if anything in your personality is what’s causing you to seek these people on a subconscious level.
I can't say I know what you're going through cause I've never been married, but I do want to wish you luck in your new life and future endeavors. And as for your " stuff" I don't know why they have an option on it cause you're the one that has to deal with it and from the look of it your stuff hasn't taken over your home it looks well kept and clean, people get a life.
I don't comment but watch and learn. I hardly think of you as a pack rat. Depending on the size of the home you are moving to, depends on how much you need. With retirement around the corner I had to downsize, in hope of a smaller home. Change isn't easy, but we grow with change. Blessings sweetie.
You my dear, are allowed to have as much "stuff" as you want, and no one has the right to criticize you for it! Do what makes you happy, (and you will be again) I have been in your shoes and came out the other side better, far far better for it. Allow yourself time to heal, as much as you need. Then pick yourself up, take a deep breath and conquer the world!!!! You got this!
Thank you so much!! ❤️
Well I think your “stuff” is beautiful and so well placed and organized. Your new home will be so warm, comfortable, and inviting too. You are so strong, positive and resilient. You are an admirable person. Life is full of changes. I’ve learned that and you’ll be just fine. Great things are coming! 😊
You’re not a pack rat. People need to stop judging! This is hard enough.
Exactly!!
true!!!
I am also going through a divorce, and I can’t tell you there are good and bad days. Don’t listen to people at all; when you pack up your life, there are a lot of things. Know that many feel your pain and frustration, and are sending love and healing vibes your way. I promise, it gets better. It’s just the grief of what was lost. ❤
Well done. Take it all, including the galvanised planters. Then you can declutter and make choices after you have settled into your new home. Best wishes.
Yes, there are a lot of potential uses for the galvanized containers! They don't have to just be planters.
Thank you ❤️
Hi Anne I hope you’re doing well. When I went through my divorce I did one room at a time packed it up and closed the door. Like maybe do the kitchen and be done with it. Then go to the family room. It really helped me to stay focused! I’m so sorry you’re going through this! Stay strong honey !!
Great suggestion! Thank you ❤️
Man, I don’t understand why people would leave negative comments about how much stuff you have. You clearly don’t have an excess amount of things, and have obviously worked to make a beautiful home. I’m new to your channel, but from what I saw of your last few videos, your home was so beautiful and welcoming. Sorry you’re going through all of this. God bless.

Your home is beautifully kept! Lovely things throughout! ❤️

Exactly! Thank you ❤️
Divorce and moving at the same time is so hard, I hope with every passing day it gets better for you💕
Thank you ❤️
U should absolutely take the plants cuz they r great theropy. Love my plants!
I’m planning on it!
Your “stuff” is who you are. When YOU are ready you’ll be able to purge through some of the stuff to make a space for the new you and new things. Be easy on yourself. There is a plan at work. It will all unfold in good time. Cry, grieve, throw a dish or two and then move on. You will be amazed that this part of your life was a learning curve. We are with you! And here’s the rest of the story… if he left you for someone else…. Guess what… he going to leave her too. KARMA.
Thank you ❤️
@@AnnsHappyHomeDo you have kids???

Obviously there are issues within the marriage. I hate when people just assume it’s the man’s fault. Sometimes marriage doesn’t work with one person but the next it does.
Can’t wait to see what you do with your new house! Take whatever makes you happy! 🙂

Haha thank you ❤️
To avoid shock, take the plants in the containers they are rooted in atleast just for the move. Once your in your new place, you can attempt transfer to something more your asthetic.
I think I will do that! Thank you ❤️
I came across your channel and I am praying for you! You are showing so much strength. No one, no one has the right to say what you have in your home is to much! You are sharing your life with the world and for someone to watch your video and past judgement on items in your beautiful home is shameful.. You may have your up and down days but know you have people who are here to support you!
You do you! And if people can’t say something nice while you are going through a life changing event BLOCK them. Trolls
Thank you!! My thoughts exactly ❤️
It's never easy to start a new chapter in life. Just know there is support out there. Best wishes
Thank you ❤️
One second at a time…and breathe… and remember that everything is happening for your good… Trust god and only him!❤
Thank you ❤️
If your stuff makes you happy then enjoy it …..it is ok
Thank you!! ❤️
I’m meeting to the channel, but looking forward to seeing you set~up your new home in this new season of life.
Thank you!
Take whatever you want, how much you want. It's your life, live it your way!! Hugs and prayers!!!!
You can paint any of the galvanized planters just black and this way they don’t clash with your new aesthetic. Or any other color that you like
Great suggestion! Thank you ❤️
Ann, your “stuff” is part of you. It is beautiful and will make your new home all warm and cozy. Also, you’re so strong and you’re going to be just fine! Life is full of change. That’s for sure. You are doing great! ❤

I’m sorry that you are going through a divorce but I do like your outlook on things. You will get through this and you will heal and once you do. you can help someone else that will struggle with a divorce. I always say we go through things to help someone or someone to help us❤ What I can’t understand is why people can’t look at your videos and say you are a pack rat. I don’t see it. You look pretty organized to me and not a lot of stuff. I’m new to your channel and I do enjoy them. I can wait to see what you do to your new home. I wish you the best 😊
Thank you so much ❤️
It will all be good at the end, hard to see right now I know.
Thank you ❤️
You are doing great! My 50th anniversary is in one month and I’m searching for a divorce lawyer. It’s tough!! I need to start a RUclips channel just so I have someone to talk to about it. I wish you all the happiness with your future.
There is so much support on RUclips, more than I ever thought possible!! Good luck to you ❤️ let me know if you decide to start one!
Doing great proud of you keep the faith it will get btr I promise you.
Thank you ❤️
Hope you get to keep the fur babies! They’re precious. Be kind to yourself and keep moving forward. Don’t look in the review mirror! 💜
I’m keeping them. He gets to see them anytime he wants. Thank you ❤️
New subscriber here. I have been there, done that. Including with my much loved pets. Who cares how much “ stuff” you may or may not have. We sometimes spend too much time thinking about our exes and trying to be kind and leave things behind that they don’t deserve. I wish now that I had not done that. In my case he cheated. And also came into the marriage with nothing. The good news is that I don’t even give that a thought now and have totally moved on. Being grateful that I was able to support myself and free to live my life as I choose.
I also have a supportive family which you do too!!! Wishing you all the best…….. ❤️🙏
I do the same thing I’ve had to move several times in my life and you do you ❤❤
❤️
You’re are doing a wonderful job. Keep going and being strong. So happy you have another home to go to. 🤗🙏🏻🩷
Thank you ❤️
Great video! You could ask a friend or family member to take the plants. Tomatoes are expensive so someone is bound to see it as a great gift!❣
I’m going to try and take them but if I end up not I will do that! Thank you for that suggestion ❤️
It’s your life to do what you like. Too much stuff for one person might be too little stuff for another. Folks, don’t judge, let her be.
Hello just came across your channel, i am widowed now almost 12 years somewhat the same but not, however i do know what its like to pack up and start anew , am i where i should be , no, but i am better than where i started. I wish you love and peace in the coming months , stay strong !! Love from PA ❤️❤️❤️
Ann I am sending you healing prayers and love.❤ Stay strong and everything will work out. God has a plan for you!
Thank you ❤️
Just ignore the negative comments and do not feel compelled to have to explain yourself. It is honestly none of people’s business. You will find happiness again, but for now, take one day at a time and allow yourself the time to grieve the loss of your marriage. Keep focused and good luck in your new home. Take as much as you need.
Thank you ❤️
If you are watering daily you may be providing enough water, but if you aren't the plants need much more water than what you are providing them.
I love to see you carrying on although I realize its hard.
Yes it is hard. Thank you ❤️
I send you love and prayers of support. This too will pass. Take what makes you happy❤
Thank you so much ❤️
You know what's best for you. Don't worry about what anyone else says ❤ I admire you for how You are handling such a difficult situation. I'm sending hugs & Prayers
Do not let anyone make you feel judged for the amount of “stuff” you have in your home and are now moving. It is no more than most people who have lived in any place for more than a few years would have.
I took a couple of house plants from my previous home, and one did well, and the other died, so I am unsure about moving the tomatoes, but hopefully someone with a green thumb can give you better advice 😅😅.
Positive energy going your way ❤
Thank you ❤️
That’s exactly what I did no point lagging about. My fiance and I separated after 7 years. Packed up my stuff the next day when he went to work. Two months he got married and they had a baby another two months after that. She was 5 months pregnant before he ended it. Never hurt leaving was so glad I got away. Probably the happiest time of my life.
Thank you for sharing ❤️
im new to your channel you are such a beautiful person prayers for you
Take the pots as they are...with the 🍅 and any other plants just as they are.
I’m going to!
Please take the Dogs with you 🙏
All the animals are coming with me ❤️
And the cat!
@@AnnsHappyHome Yay!!!!!!!
One day a time ❤ Were moving in with my mom until the divorce is final then we can house hunt. Look at this as the next season of life. Work on yourself and heal your heart and don’t look in the rear view mirror. I listen to Mel Robbins and she’s really empowered my mindset. You are not alone, praying for Peace 🙏🏻🦋🦋🦋🦋
Thank you ❤️ good luck to you!!
I agree with others about stuff as they say. Some people are minimalist, others are not. Some people are sentimental about things while some could care less who gave them things and are ready to throw it out. It's entirely what makes you happy. I hear the sadness in your voice but you are facing everything head on and very brave I think to be sharing it with everyone.
Spray paint the galvanized containers in a color you like or that matches your Napa home 😊 I don't know if it'll hurt yoyr tomatoes replanting them but I'd hate to do it and shock them. Just a thought, take care!
Thank you!
Listen it’s your LIFE ! You can have whatever you want for STUFF ! So people leaving comments like that they can move along no room here for negativity at this TIME! So I hope they read my comment! You do you ♥️♥️
People can be ridiculous. There's another female creator who has also been moving presently who some have complained about her having stuff too. Probably the same people, lol.
You are doing a great job Ann! I think your idea about tackling the decor is brilliant. Back when I had carpet (just wood & tile now) I used to clean by throwing out trash & vacuuming bc visually those took the least effort with the biggest visual impact. Sometimes we just have to trick our brains, lol.
So, I am curious about your fur babies. Did you guys get them while together or did one of you already have them?
I had an eventful Sunday. Honestly I can't remember if I already shared this with you or not, lol. A neighbor saw there was a new little kitten between our fences. So I was sent to get it. Long story short, I got him, took him to the vet who rejected helping him. He had a serious wound. I started caring for him under guidance of a lady here who is a cat rescue foster mom. Then I was told I can't keep him here so the foster woman took him. Almost as soon as she took him, he passed away. He was a cutie, probably around 4wks old.
Now I'm having to combat a possible flea situation with my dogs bc the kitten had fleas. Goodness… We are still getting swarmed by major storms here, daily. Honestly though, I am appreciating them bc they cool us down here (Dallas Tx area).
I hope everything is going smoothly for you out there. Oh, I went & followed you on IG. Your YT bio still has your previous link. Cheers to better days ahead & big hugs for the days behind. ((♥️))
Oh my goodness, how terrible! I hope the flea infestation gets solved soon!! We each had one dog when we got together and got our youngest one together!
You got this girl 😊
Thank you ❤️
I’m actually in the process now of moving again 😢 but I try to find joy in it 🤷♀️🥰🥰
Just remember your not alone ❤️
You could take it with you just change it to what you want the next growing season .or give it to your parents or sibling. If you just really can't handle it in your view just for this season. Or just take it and ditch the container next season and enjoy the tomato s on your salad s in future. Nothing beats a home grown tomato s flavor.
Hi I am new to your channel I feel so bad for you, Hopefully you will be feeling better very soon 💖 It's been many years since I was left but watching your video I do know how your feeling, Napa sounds so wonderful and with your family close, Take Care of You
Once you get to Napa you may want all new decor for a fresh start. Donate or have a yard sale once you’re settled. Just an idea. Take care.
Maybe!
I'm well aware of what place you're in after loss. I started watching a RUclipsr called All Things Mandy because she did a 30 day walking challenge just as her marriage was ending. She's done wonderful videos on how she's made it through this since last summer. She's so inspiring. Maybe give her a watch. ❤
I will check her out!
Hi Ann ,if people choose to comment on stuff instead of seeing the big picture it shows serious lack of empathy on their part. I hope you are coping ok emotionally.❤
Thank you ❤️
So Sorry For You Are Going Through A Divorce ❤
Thank you ❤️
Sending hugs and love ❤
Thank you ❤️
Ann I’m new to,your channel but I truly enjoy watching you. You are far from a pak rat. You have a beautifully decorated home and your stuff is beautiful. I’m so sorry you have to go,through this difficult time. I’ve been where you are with the exception of having 2 children. You can and will survive. I’m sorry people have to be negative but just ignore them. If it makes you feel happy just do it . God love you and can’t wait to watch you in your new home. 😊
I'm new to your channel. I'm so sorry for all you are going thru. It's hard enough without having people saying stuff when they have no idea what they are talking about. I always say they like to flex those internet muscles or play behind the screen bully! You just do you sweet girl and take care of yourself!
Thank you ❤️
There are worse things than being alone…..unfortunately! You can have whatever you want! 💞💞
I have been alone before and I enjoyed it! I just need to mourn this season of my life and move on!
I'm going through the same thing 😢
If you can’t take the plants, list them on marketplace for free or small price. I know locally where I live lots of people share or sell starters off plants. I’m sure someone will take them off your hands!
Thank you for the suggestion ❤️
People go through changes in life. It is hard and hurts. I’m not minimizing it because I can still feel tangible emotional pain of similar situations years later. So I’m not going to say there won’t be a little scar. If there wasn’t I’d be more worried. Your feelings mean that you are a good, caring, loving human being. Your animals & plants and self care will be your greatest therapy. Use this experience as a guide to not repeat this as it’s way too painful. I would get counseling just to understand how to avoid this situation again and do some self exploration. Because others mirror or reflect our behavior and reactions (I’m no therapist). But what I can tell you is that you don’t want to attract this again and so you wanna understand if there’s anything in your past or if anything in your personality is what’s causing you to seek these people on a subconscious level.
I can't say I know what you're going through cause I've never been married, but I do want to wish you luck in your new life and future endeavors. And as for your " stuff" I don't know why they have an option on it cause you're the one that has to deal with it and from the look of it your stuff hasn't taken over your home it looks well kept and clean, people get a life.
Thank you!
Your dogs sure look into tune in what is going on!
They are very smart but they have gotten used to the change for the most part!
new sub here…it will be exciting to see you in your new place ❤️
Thank you! ❤️
People why you can’t leave kind uplifting comments! I’m sorry you’re going through remember when it rains there’s a beautiful rainbow
Thank you ❤️
New chapters are always scary, it’s gonna be ok 🫶🏻
I don't comment but watch and learn. I hardly think of you as a pack rat. Depending on the size of the home you are moving to, depends on how much you need. With retirement around the corner I had to downsize, in hope of a smaller home. Change isn't easy, but we grow with change. Blessings sweetie.
Thank you ❤️
