Hi Merina!!! I haven't been watching for the last 6 weeks...I was able to pop on the live last night for a bit...but it was for a good reason...after being essentially homeless for 4 years, I was called for an income based apartment!! I finally ( Praise Jesus! ) have my own place again!!! Tonight I settled down with a cup of tea and some Merina! ❤❤❤❤ Just wanted to say regarding Legos...my 45 yr old son in law, my 41yr old nephew, and my 30yr old son..as wwll as my 19 and 9 yr old grandson...ALLLLL still request Legos as gifts!!! It doesn't stop! 😊
🥺🥺🥺🥺 you are one of my most recognizable friends on here! I have memorized your name for the longest time now! I am so very happy that things are looking up for you! I’m only a holler away! (Might have to go digging through some emails to find you but bless Johnny I’ma dig lol) love you!!
@@fearfullycreated Oh good golly 😊❤...love YOU and your family more! You bring me so much joy! Now...I am off to catch up on all those vlogs I missed! 😏😉🤗
Tip for fridge cleaning- every time you wash dishes do one shelf in the fridge. Clear old, wipe, and rearrange. Takes like 4 mins each time. That’s how I keep my fridge clean with 3 kids. Lol
Doing this separately! Don't be so hard on yourself with the laundry. Have you thought about dividing it into family members? Like Monday the girls. Tuesdays the boys. Wednesday yours. Thursdays Shane's Fridays towels and bedding. Weekends the stragglers. We are now a family of 6 with my daughter and her family and a new baby due in May. We each have a designated day for laundry. It works pretty well not perfect but ok.
First and foremost , I love watching your family ! Secondly I have a Fridge tip that has helped us a ton !! Instead of putting the fruits and veggies in the crisper drawers we put all of the condiments in the drawers and all of the veggies, fruits, and healthier items (that we usually tuck away in the drawers) in the actual door. So when we open the door we see the fruits and veggies first and we don’t tend to let those go bad . I started doing this because we ended up letting a lot of grapes, fruits and veggies go bad because we never opened the crisper drawers . But if I need a condiment I go searching in the drawer for them .. win win
For over 20 years I've always cleaned my fridge out with the food in it or on the counter and the doors wide open too. I put everything in a cooler (the right way) once and it was such a pain I've never done it again. I figure there's no difference than having the food sitting out during a meal for a little while and it doesn't take very long to scrub out the fridge...and I haven't died yet so I'll keep cleaning it that way. :)
I just want to tell you how much I admire how you take your kids feelings into consideration when making decisions for them. You are so patient with them and loving and you can tell how happy they are. You’re doing a good job mama! They’re so precious 🥰
Marina! It’s dangerous watching you. I’ve just spent a bunch of money for decorating my house because you have inspired me so much and I’ve even started making my bed 😲. Love your channel and family.
Hey Marina! A tip for you to keep your knives sharper for longer: if you scrape something off a cutting board and into a bowl or pot, flip the knife upside down so you're not scraping with the sharp part of the blade! Scraping with the sharp part will dull it quickly!
Love Shane's grocery hauls.🤣 Have you thought about trundle bed for Colton and Cameron's room. It's where the other twin is close to floor but slides under normal twin when they are up. Would give them alot of space in their room also. Thanks 🤗
I am so happy you shared your heart on your children staying kids as long as possible. I’m like you - I had to grow up extremely fast because of my childhood. I want my children to stay children as long as possible. I am right there with you. ❤️
It’s not a big deal to keep the fridge door open. When I cleaned fridges I would close it when I took out the shelves to wash in the sink. I usually empty a drawer or shelf and wash it while the door is closed then continue on with each shelf etc.
I am so happy to hear how you protect your children from what’s online. They have the rest of their lives to navigate social media and all the internet entails. It can be a scary place for curious minds. Great job!!!!!
I cleaned out my basement today and I am tired, but I had to check first to see if your had uploaded a video and low and behold…… you did. Still tired, but watching you. Thank you for sharing your family with us. You are an inspiration for me to clean my 🏡
You have been such an inspiration to me! ❤️ your videos! Thank you for posting. I have been prompted to be a better person and to have a spirit of gratitude. I’ve drifted away from Jesus after a not so good experience with a pastor, watching your channel is the first time I felt the spirit move in me for quite some time. Many blessings to you and your family.
I’m a new mom and I really enjoy you talking out your thought process on your parenting choices. It’s helpful to hear and you are also supportive and don’t judge different choices, just share what makes sense for you
I just wanted to say I love you Merina! Thank you and your beautiful community for all the love and prayers in my time of need. I could feel all the love.❤️❤️
Love your videos. I definitely needed this to cheer up! My son had a seizure for the first time last night and it's been rough 🥺 he's 4 and Autistic also not really verbal so I don't even know how he's really feeling. Please keep him in prayer as we find out what's caused his seizure. ♥️
Praying right now! Was it accompanied by a fever or just random? Colton had his one and only at that age and it was one of the most terrifying things I’ve ever seen. I’ll continue to be praying for you!!!
Hey my sweet friends! Rena, I couldn’t help but notice ur t-shirt and pants, both match today, meaning they’re both champion pieces. ☺️ Sorry my friend, I had to say it because ur always talking about ur Jammie’s. 😊 and awwww, the twins hair, is so pretty, just like them. 😍 u have such sweet babies. 🥰 and when it comes to cleaning out the fridge, I leave mines, open as well. I’m with u, I don’t know of any other way either… and a lil safety tip: keep ur mittens and anything flammable, off ur stove! So, if u accidentally turn the wrong burner on, nothing catches on fire. Also, I applaud 👏🏼 u, for protecting ur beautiful children, away from the cruel internet world, that’s amazing! ❤️ Because it’s some real monsters on social media, and other internet sites… ur doing a very good job, on raising ur children, I love the way u, and Shane, parent, ur children. Keep up the good work! 💙❤️and the children, clothes are so pretty. 💕love y’all.
Here's a great tip... to keep grapes fresh, keep them in a bowl with water. They don't need to be submerged. Change the water every few days. Grapes stay firm and last for a week or so. Really enjoy you and the family. God bless from South Africa.
Everything is capable of burning when near a flame. My brother in law says you should even unplug toasters and mixers etc when not in use. Apparently appliances are capable as well. So glad you posted a video today! You and Shane are adorable! Please don't put oven mit on top of stove....FIRE
@@trinadiaz4923 You’re right! I had an electrician tell me that even when plugged in, things still use a certain amount of electricity; it’s called a ghost current. Kinda scary….
Girl y'all are the only channel I can get my husband to set down and watch with me. Y'all remind me so much of us. I absolutely love you guys. Thank you for being you and following what God has set forth in front of you. You are such in inspiration
Love all the kids clothing!! And Shawn is precious with saying that our of the blue!! Love that! Marina..your the best and all of you deserve the best!
Great video, Merina! I love how it's a long video, so we get to hang out with you longer! 😁 You and Shane are such great parents, I just love to watch all of you. I just clean out the fridge as quick as I can, so the door isn't open too long at a time. I have a problem with dry lips too, so I keep a bunch of Lip Smackers around all the time. I keep them all over the house, and in my purse ~ I'm addicted to them! I love the Coca Cola flavored ones. ❤
I appreciate the fact that you are just you rather than your videos being fake. Being authentic is so important. I mean no family is perfect and we all never look perfect all the time. Yet our world tells us everything has to be perfect. We can never have a messy house or messy hair etc etc but that is not reality. So thank you for being real.
I have 3 kids and I feel like I am washing clothes for people who don’t even live here! The one thing that helped me the most is my morning routine. I wake up and start coffee while it is brewing I start a load of laundry then while I drink my first cup I say morning prayers and read Psalms. When I am done I wake up my kids to start school (we homeschool too) I always feel like why not make it work for my schedule. P.S. I totally hear you on the LOLs I spoke to my girls after I found out about them and told them they were immodest but that the choice was theirs, I was so proud when they said it made them feel uncomfortable too, all I am saying is keep it up when you tell them how you feel and then let them make good choices they will even if it isn’t right away.
Girl I just love your heart!! I'm so glad I found your channel. You have been such an inspiration to me!!!! I've been binge watching your videos for dayssss. Lol I have been practicing editing before I start my channel, so thank you for all of the effort you put into your videos. After practicing for days, I truly appreciate the time and energy it takes to edit videos like these. Love you!!! - Raylynn 💜
I’ve been following you for a while now & never able to catch these when you upload!! But finally able to sit down after painting all day! Motivation & inspiration by you!! Love from West TN!
You and your family are absolutely precious. I have been married for 27 years I got married at 18 and you and Shane are absolute relationship goals the way you both have so much love and respect for each other just absolutely warms my heart. I don't think my husband has ever said something so sweet to me like Shane said to u when he came in ur daughters room. Your an amazing, wife, mother, and person. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love your mobile homemaking that sounds so good but I also love when you said that you're on the journey to make it a mobile mansion so don't ever stop using that terminology because it sounds so nice
I'm in the process of moving and have been needing some packing and cleaning motivation. So thanks for all the motivation and uplifting words. As someone who literally struggles with procrastination with everything you really motivate me to be a better homemaker for my husband and I.
Marina ❤️ I’m a new subscriber and I cannot tell you how many time I catch myself responding to you like if we’re FaceTiming lol I love your little family and your beautiful home! The progress is so inspiring I’m so so grateful and blessed to have found y’all! Also I love the long videos you’ve helped me get through LOTS of dishes and laundry folding! Thank you!
My goodness people worry about the silliest things, you aren't leaving your refrigerator open all day! Nothing is going to rot in a few minutes, it takes just as long to pull things out and put in a cooler as it does to do it the normal way!🙄🤣🤣 I'm 61 years old and I swear nothing in my fridge has ruined by cleaning it out and even wiping the inside while the door is open! Prayers for your you and all that you are going through with your teeth. Big hugs and lots of love! 💕💕
That’s a great Ross haul. I ❤️ Ross for my work clothes. You are doing a great job with your family. Remember communicating with your kids will bring a better relationship with them. They will want to tell you their happenings in life and not keep secrets from you. Keep up the good working. I wish I had your knowledge of parenting when I was raising my two girls.
I love that your kids don’t do the internet.They are what kids should be.Drama drama you are right.I don’t do facebook or any of the social media stuff.The most i do is RUclips.You are one lovely family
RUclips mom weekly mentioned your channel and it was all good and praise about you standing your ground regarding Amazon affiliations and how true your personal character and unique flat form compared to others.
Thank you for this video. I was feeling really down tonight so I clicked on your video and as always yall had me laughing! I live in Texas, so tell Colton we are a country , at least Texans think we are. lol
Yay a new video! I just started binge watching your videos from your oldest videos to newest. My notifications just showed me you have a new video! I am so thankful for you!
Give yourself grace with laundry! Laundry and dishes are the two hardest chores to keep up. Once you get caught back up commit to ONE load per day from start to finish. Over time that just becomes a rhythm. I load my washer the night before and in the morning while my coffee brews I throw in the detergent pod and sanitizer and turn it on. Then I have ALL day to get it dried, folded, and put away. It's a simple little routine that has a HUGE impact. I also have ADHD and I have found that using the dead time for another task (like what I just mentioned or folding the laundry while dinner cooks) makes it easier for me to keep up. It's all about your routines but give yourself time to get there. You have a LOT of people you're taking care of. That's a kind of chaos that anyone would slip up in. You're doing GREAT!
I was a stay at home Momma for 18 years. Laundry is hard y'all! I finally listened to my very smart Momma. Put a load in first thing in the morning. Then throw it in the dryer no matter what. Even if it's right before your head hits the pillow. In the morning fold that load and put in another. It won't get you caught up in one day, but in a week you'll have done 7 loads and it'll only take you a few minutes a day. Love your channel and your enthusiasm! You Christmas decor is gorgeous! Can't wait to see what you do next! God Bless!
I’m really looking forward to seeing you do your sons’ room. Your Colton is a treasure. He treats his siblings well. Your husband is a great witness for him of how a man treats his family.
You can try mayo on the table. Just put some on and let it sit for awhile then just wipe it up. It sometimes helps on my furniture when the kids leave hot stuff or condensation from their cups. But I am all game for a table makeover too 🥰. Love watching you.
We just finished our 4th bedroom this year and although the kids wanted their walls painted brighter colors, we went with a greige color and let them pick wall art and things that were the colors they liked so that we wouldn't have to keep painting walls every few years!
Glad to hear your mouth is healing friend! I think we all struggle with staying on top of housework and eating healthy/trying to lose weight and feeling like a failure when we get behind or eat ALL the carbs LoL (at least I know I do!). You said it perfectly, just try and get back on track when you fall. It's ok to fall and it doesn't mean we are failures. Applies to everything, hard to remember sometimes (most times). Shane, DR Pepper Zero is so good!! Love you Merina! ❤️💕
Dear Marina, thank you for your videos. They brighten up my days,.every time i see and hear you and your lovely family. You're really blessed, and your absolutely gorgeous personality makes me feel better even in hard times i'm in these days. So God bless you and your family 💕
I just love you and your family ❤️ you make me feel so much better knowing it’s ok to not get it all done ! Your transparency and kindness is uplifting ❤️
Hey there! Try a thin layer of mayonnaise on your table water spots. When it’s almost dry or dry, rub with a soft cloth. The oil in the Mayo will soak into the wood, diminishing the water spots. 💖
Thank you for your uplifting videos. Just recently found your channel and I could watch you all day. You are so open and down to earth. I love your reassurance that I can get things accomplished just one step at a time. I too am depressed and overwhelmed a lot. You make it seem like that’s okay. I have never been told that. Some of your videos feel like you are talking directly to me. Much love to you and your family.
Gahahahhah oh my lanta! Did you wash all the shampoo out at least 🤣🤣🤣 I LOVE YOU and I’m honored you rushed through a shower to be here on a Saturday night. It makes my whole daggone weekend 😄❤️
Carmex is the little pot is the best for chapped lips! Living in WI, chapped lips are part of life in the winter and Carmex works the best. It tastes awful, but it helps make sure you don't lack it right off. 😀
If the corners of your mouth cracks, carmex will heal it up real quick also. I have used it for years. I always keep some in my make up bag in my purse.
When you place a hot item on the table surface, . Water then seeps into these pores, and when the temperature drops and the wood cools off, these pores close, trapping water in them. The moisture changes the appearance of the table, leaving behind a white stain. This happened to us from a pizza set on the table
Oh my goodness when Shane mentioned about the pizza roll and mustard I got so excited because I love mustard and that's totally something I would do but now that I'm pregnant I can totally see me doing that even more also because with my older son mustard was one of my cravings so now I want to try it with this baby 😂😂 thanks to Shane my husband's going to look at me even more like I'm a weirdo more than he already does haha also pizza rolls and sliced pickles is the bees knees y'all lol
When you said I love you and he said I love you more that is exactly what my husband and I say to each other it is so beautiful and sincere love you guys so much 💗
I tried to put a load in before I went to bed. When I got up I threw that load in the dryer and started another load. My kids wore uniforms to school and they could be washed in 2 loads. We invested in 5 uniforms each so that we didn't have to worry about doing laundry during to school week. I assigned a certain color towel to each child and they used it twice before putting it in the hamper. The colors coordinated and could all be washed in the same !oad. If it wasn't in a hamper, by the color I knew who didn't take care of their towel. Each child also had an assigned spot for their towel. It may sound weird, but it worked for us.
Just want to share how much of an encouragement you have been to me. Trying to hard to keep up with the Jones and listening to you say your good enough and appreciate all that god has blessed you with has resonated that i really needed a change of heart around material things and also to scrub my mind of junk. Our pastor always encourages to take a social media break and after binge watching a bunch of your videos i did and came back with some clarity only letting the my eyes see and ears hear what brings joys and lifts me up with encouragement. Thank you for being your authentic self and encouraging other women and moms to do their best and enjoy what they have instead of wishing away our days!!!!!
Some ppl use an iron with something between it and table. I have gotten heat marks on my table many times. Eventually they go away, but it takes months.
I’m so glad u posted this, I’m home sick with Covid so is my husband please pray for us we’re both pretty sick Ty love u all God Bless…
Sending prayers 🙏.. my husband and daughter and I had it in Sept 💕
Covering you in prayer friend and starting a prayer chain! Please keep us updated! We will worry ❤️

I love that you left those fruit cups alone! It gives Cammy the confidence that how he did it was enough. It made me so happy. You go mama!

Doing this separately! Don't be so hard on yourself with the laundry.
Have you thought about dividing it into family members?
Like Monday the girls.
Tuesdays the boys.
Wednesday yours.
Thursdays Shane's
Fridays towels and bedding.
Weekends the stragglers.
We are now a family of 6 with my daughter and her family and a new baby due in May. We each have a designated day for laundry. It works pretty well not perfect but ok.
This is a fantastic suggestion. I can see it working too.
That's what we do and we are only a family of 3, I just like my laundry washed alone, I'm picky...lol 😆 so it ends up to separate everybody's.
awesome idea
First and foremost , I love watching your family ! Secondly I have a Fridge tip that has helped us a ton !!

I didn’t know there was a right way haha! I just move stuff around and wipe it out 🤷🏻♀️
Lol! Same at our house!
Oh that was really sweet what Shane said about hearing you from the other room and feeling lucky to have you as a wife. What a sweet husband.

I can't get over how good your new dining room wall looks. Ya'll did a great job.

I keep them all over the house, and in my purse ~ I'm addicted to them! I love the Coca Cola flavored ones. ❤
I appreciate the fact that you are just you rather than your videos being fake. Being authentic is so important. I mean no family is perfect and we all never look perfect all the time. Yet our world tells us everything has to be perfect. We can never have a messy house or messy hair etc etc but that is not reality. So thank you for being real.
Pointing to yourself, "I know what good food taste like" GIRLL crack me up!! Your so funny and proud to be yourself!!😅
I have 3 kids and I feel like I am washing clothes for people who don’t even live here! The one thing that helped me the most is my morning routine. I wake up and start coffee while it is brewing I start a load of laundry then while I drink my first cup I say morning prayers and read Psalms. When I am done I wake up my kids to start school (we homeschool too) I always feel like why not make it work for my schedule. P.S. I totally hear you on the LOLs I spoke to my girls after I found out about them and told them they were immodest but that the choice was theirs, I was so proud when they said it made them feel uncomfortable too, all I am saying is keep it up when you tell them how you feel and then let them make good choices they will even if it isn’t right away.
Girl I just love your heart!! I'm so glad I found your channel. You have been such an inspiration to me!!!! I've been binge watching your videos for dayssss. Lol I have been practicing editing before I start my channel, so thank you for all of the effort you put into your videos. After practicing for days, I truly appreciate the time and energy it takes to edit videos like these. Love you!!! - Raylynn 💜
YOU CAN DO IT 😄 I know you can!!!! Love you friend!
The kids conversations had me ROLLING!!
I’ve been following you for a while now & never able to catch these when you upload!! But finally able to sit down after painting all day! Motivation & inspiration by you!! Love from West TN!
Oh a Saturday night too 🥺 y’all gonna make me cryyyyyyy ❤️❤️❤️❤️ thanks for being here friend!
“I like hearing your voice in the other room.” Every girl dreams of hearing something like that on their lifetime. ❤️
You and your family are absolutely precious. I have been married for 27 years I got married at 18 and you and Shane are absolute relationship goals the way you both have so much love and respect for each other just absolutely warms my heart. I don't think my husband has ever said something so sweet to me like Shane said to u when he came in ur daughters room. Your an amazing, wife, mother, and person. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love how real and down to earth y’all are. Thank you for the joy you bring us all!
I love your mobile homemaking that sounds so good but I also love when you said that you're on the journey to make it a mobile mansion so don't ever stop using that terminology because it sounds so nice
I won’t ever i promise 😄
Your children are just beautiful!! You and Shane are doing amazing with them! Especially how you both love them unconditionally!!❤.
I'm in the process of moving and have been needing some packing and cleaning motivation. So thanks for all the motivation and uplifting words. As someone who literally struggles with procrastination with everything you really motivate me to be a better homemaker for my husband and I.
I just adore your family vlog style content. ❤
Marina ❤️ I’m a new subscriber and I cannot tell you how many time I catch myself responding to you like if we’re FaceTiming lol I love your little family and your beautiful home! The progress is so inspiring I’m so so grateful and blessed to have found y’all! Also I love the long videos you’ve helped me get through LOTS of dishes and laundry folding! Thank you!
My goodness people worry about the silliest things, you aren't leaving your refrigerator open all day! Nothing is going to rot in a few minutes, it takes just as long to pull things out and put in a cooler as it does to do it the normal way!🙄🤣🤣 I'm 61 years old and I swear nothing in my fridge has ruined by cleaning it out and even wiping the inside while the door is open!
Prayers for your you and all that you are going through with your teeth. Big hugs and lots of love! 💕💕
That’s a great Ross haul. I ❤️ Ross for my work clothes. You are doing a great job with your family. Remember communicating with your kids will bring a better relationship with them. They will want to tell you their happenings in life and not keep secrets from you. Keep up the good working. I wish I had your knowledge of parenting when I was raising my two girls.
I love that your kids don’t do the internet.They are what kids should be.Drama drama you are right.I don’t do facebook or any of the social media stuff.The most i do is RUclips.You are one lovely family
I just love to see the closeness you and Shane show for one another❤
He is my person 😍
RUclips mom weekly mentioned your channel and it was all good and praise about you standing your ground regarding Amazon affiliations and how true your personal character and unique flat form compared to others.
Thank you for this video. I was feeling really down tonight so I clicked on your video and as always yall had me laughing! I live in Texas, so tell Colton we are a country , at least Texans think we are. lol
Hahahahahah 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I’ll have to relay that lol!
Glad y’all had a great family time! Adding a hairdresser secret… if you’re out of detangler or cream rinse just water down some fabric softener… yep..
Yay a new video! I just started binge watching your videos from your oldest videos to newest. My notifications just showed me you have a new video! I am so thankful for you!
Are you kiddin me?!!!! On a Saturday night?! 🥺 I love ya!!!!!!
I wish there were videos of when you started working on ur mobile home
It is a great way to spend a Saturday night with my bowl of popcorn!! Looking forward to more videos. My kids love your videos too!!
Give yourself grace with laundry! Laundry and dishes are the two hardest chores to keep up. Once you get caught back up commit to ONE load per day from start to finish. Over time that just becomes a rhythm. I load my washer the night before and in the morning while my coffee brews I throw in the detergent pod and sanitizer and turn it on. Then I have ALL day to get it dried, folded, and put away. It's a simple little routine that has a HUGE impact. I also have ADHD and I have found that using the dead time for another task (like what I just mentioned or folding the laundry while dinner cooks) makes it easier for me to keep up. It's all about your routines but give yourself time to get there. You have a LOT of people you're taking care of. That's a kind of chaos that anyone would slip up in. You're doing GREAT!
Ya'll are just the best! I am so happy to spend my time with you!
I was a stay at home Momma for 18 years. Laundry is hard y'all! I finally listened to my very smart Momma. Put a load in first thing in the morning. Then throw it in the dryer no matter what. Even if it's right before your head hits the pillow. In the morning fold that load and put in another. It won't get you caught up in one day, but in a week you'll have done 7 loads and it'll only take you a few minutes a day. Love your channel and your enthusiasm! You Christmas decor is gorgeous! Can't wait to see what you do next! God Bless!
I’m really looking forward to seeing you do your sons’ room. Your Colton is a treasure. He treats his siblings well. Your husband is a great witness for him of how a man treats his family.
I find my self wondering how you and your family are doing. I love watching your tips and tricks. YOU are such an awesome MOM!!!
You can try mayo on the table. Just put some on and let it sit for awhile then just wipe it up. It sometimes helps on my furniture when the kids leave hot stuff or condensation from their cups. But I am all game for a table makeover too 🥰. Love watching you.
WHAT?!!! This is so cool!!!!
You decorating looks beautiful! You always do a 👏 great job. I love your upbeat attitude.
We just finished our 4th bedroom this year and although the kids wanted their walls painted brighter colors, we went with a greige color and let them pick wall art and things that were the colors they liked so that we wouldn't have to keep painting walls every few years!
You are wonderful parents. Your laughter is the best medicine. God bless you all. Hugs 🤗
I literally shouted nooooooo...when you said there were no taters in the food shop!! 😁
I FORGOT 💀🤣 I had to convince Shane that everybody makes mistakes lol
I absolutely love your channel! Your family values are amazing ❤
Glad to hear your mouth is healing friend! I think we all struggle with staying on top of housework and eating healthy/trying to lose weight and feeling like a failure when we get behind or eat ALL the carbs LoL (at least I know I do!). You said it perfectly, just try and get back on track when you fall. It's ok to fall and it doesn't mean we are failures. Applies to everything, hard to remember sometimes (most times). Shane, DR Pepper Zero is so good!! Love you Merina! ❤️💕
Dear Marina, thank you for your videos. They brighten up my days,.every time i see and hear you and your lovely family. You're really blessed, and your absolutely gorgeous personality makes me feel better even in hard times i'm in these days. So God bless you and your family 💕
Favorite place to be on a Saturday evening, the REYNOLDS 🏡!! Adore you guys!!! ❤️ watching from Michigan 🦌
WE ADORE YOU!!!!!
I just love you and your family ❤️ you make me feel so much better knowing it’s ok to not get it all done ! Your transparency and kindness is uplifting ❤️
Hey there! Try a thin layer of mayonnaise on your table water spots. When it’s almost dry or dry, rub with a soft cloth. The oil in the Mayo will soak into the wood, diminishing the water spots. 💖
YALL TEACHING ME TRICKS WITH THIS MAYO THING! Holy moly!!!!! 😄
Thank you for your uplifting videos. Just recently found your channel and I could watch you all day. You are so open and down to earth. I love your reassurance that I can get things accomplished just one step at a time. I too am depressed and overwhelmed a lot. You make it seem like that’s okay. I have never been told that. Some of your videos feel like you are talking directly to me. Much love to you and your family.
You can do the daggone thang friend 🙂 it may take us longer to get it done but bless Johnny we’ll get it done together ❤️
“Sounds like urine to me!” I’m dying! Merina, you and I have the same sense of humor!!! Love you girl! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🥰🥰🥰🥰
You have such a BEAUTIFUL light to you. I absolutely LOVE your channel, and your videos. God Bless 🙏 🙏
I had to rush through my shower to catch this as soon as it released!! I love you so much and the inspiration/motivation you give us all!
Gahahahhah oh my lanta! Did you wash all the shampoo out at least 🤣🤣🤣 I LOVE YOU and I’m honored you rushed through a shower to be here on a Saturday night. It makes my whole daggone weekend 😄❤️
You’re oldest it’s your little twin ❤️ he’s so funny! Your fam is beautiful. May God keep blessing you guys! 🥰
I absolutely love how your home is everything looks so beautiful 😍
Thank ya friend 😄 it’s come such a long way!
I love watching your channel so fun and and motivating too!You and Shane always having me laughing 😂
Can you do a Thanksgiving recipe video?! I would love to see your take on Thanksgiving dinner and if you have any unique items!
Oh heck yeah 😄 you got it friend!
I love your videos, and how long they are. I swear I could watch you and your family all day everyday.
Carmex is the little pot is the best for chapped lips! Living in WI, chapped lips are part of life in the winter and Carmex works the best. It tastes awful, but it helps make sure you don't lack it right off. 😀
Oh my lanta I had forgotten!!! My nanny used to hoard this stuff when I was little!!! 🤣
If the corners of your mouth cracks, carmex will heal it up real quick also. I have used it for years. I always keep some in my make up bag in my purse.
I like it in the tube better than the little jar. Plus it's much easier to use and you don't get it on your fingers!
Love the motivation!!!
The spots in your table is from hot plates being put on it. I would suggest thick placemats to put under your plates.
When you place a hot item on the table surface, . Water then seeps into these pores, and when the temperature drops and the wood cools off, these pores close, trapping water in them. The moisture changes the appearance of the table, leaving behind a white stain. This happened to us from a pizza set on the table
That happened here too now I use cute vinyl tablecloths in seasonal patterns and placemats
Love your family! Thanks for letting us hang with you through your day
Oh my goodness when Shane mentioned about the pizza roll and mustard I got so excited because I love mustard and that's totally something I would do but now that I'm pregnant I can totally see me doing that even more also because with my older son mustard was one of my cravings so now I want to try it with this baby 😂😂 thanks to Shane my husband's going to look at me even more like I'm a weirdo more than he already does haha also pizza rolls and sliced pickles is the bees knees y'all lol
The more videos you can do, the happier I am. Love you Marina and your beautiful family 👪 ❤ 💕
Yes girl! Excited to see this video! Hope you’re doing well!!! Love seeing your family!
I’m shocked y’all are here on a Saturday night!!! Y’all are the best 😄❤️
When you said I love you and he said I love you more that is exactly what my husband and I say to each other it is so beautiful and sincere love you guys so much 💗
I tried to put a load in before I went to bed. When I got up I threw that load in the dryer and started another load. My kids wore uniforms to school and they could be washed in 2 loads. We invested in 5 uniforms each so that we didn't have to worry about doing laundry during to school week. I assigned a certain color towel to each child and they used it twice before putting it in the hamper. The colors coordinated and could all be washed in the same !oad. If it wasn't in a hamper, by the color I knew who didn't take care of their towel. Each child also had an assigned spot for their towel. It may sound weird, but it worked for us.
Great ideas!
Just want to share how much of an encouragement you have been to me. Trying to hard to keep up with the Jones and listening to you say your good enough and appreciate all that god has blessed you with has resonated that i really needed a change of heart around material things and also to scrub my mind of junk. Our pastor always encourages to take a social media break and after binge watching a bunch of your videos i did and came back with some clarity only letting the my eyes see and ears hear what brings joys and lifts me up with encouragement.
Thank you for being your authentic self and encouraging other women and moms to do their best and enjoy what they have instead of wishing away our days!!!!!
Take a hairdryer to the spots on your dining room table. it is liquid beneath the surface. It works like a charm
Y’all are teaching me so much on this Saturday night lol
Ooohh!!! Good to know!! 😊
Some ppl use an iron with something between it and table. I have gotten heat marks on my table many times. Eventually they go away, but it takes months.
Yes. I use an iron and a towel. Works great.
Spending my Sunday afternoon catching up with you guys ❤ Day made!!!!!
