You and Josh approach everything with such a sense of joy and gratitude. You are understandably overwhelmed by all you have to catch up on in your garden, but still in wonder over what it provides. And hearing Josh whistle as he works to turn your new house into the home of your dreams.
I love how genuine you are. Like in the garden- You had a bit of time where you explained things have been difficult, but just focus on the positive even though it's hard to sometimes. Like I dunno, as someone with severe depression for years- Just watching a channel like this that's typically peaceful, but also down to earth real sometimes is just nice ♡ EDIT: Tyvm to everyone wishing kind words in the chain, it's always appreciated even if I can't reply to everyone that leaves it ♡
Who needs instructions when you have Josh around? Wow great job on the grill. And, as always, awesome job, Becky! You guys tackle everything with zeal! 🙏❤
This can HELP with Garden Overwhelm (which I think we all can feel!) Laura from Garden Answer divides her garden into sections and then focuses on just one section at a time (weeding, pruning, fertilizing, inspecting for insects). She does one section each weekday, but you can make your own schedule. It definitely helps so that when you have 15 minutes, you know where to focus your attention, you make progress in that one area and don’t stress about all the other things that need work because you know they’ll get attention soon when it’s their zone.
yes - she's broken her property down into 5 zones, each weekday is assigned a zone - maintenance in the morning and special projects (if needed) in the afternoon - so that way the weeds, overgrowth of bushes/trees, etc. don't get out of control.
My mom suggested this to me when I was overwhelmed about my yard. We bought our house in Aug 2020 & there was an established vegetable garden and SEVERAL flower gardens. It got away from me last year. We were discussing it last winter & she suggested the zone defense. Brilliant!
@@MH-gc2hr Do you follow FlyLady for your house cleaning? If so, the garden can be broken up in a similar way. Weekly zone maintenance and monthly projects. I think @DianeinDenmark has a detailed explanation on her RUclips channel of garden maintenance following the Fly Lady system. Laura at Garden Answer has also done a few videos on how she maintains her garden.
Becky, thank you for inviting all of us to your housewarming party! Everything looks so good, I’m definitely going to make that vinaigrette. Looking forward to some “Grill with Me” videos!😂
You are def blessed. We can all only do what we can in life. If your unable to spend more time in the garden it’s OK. You are blessed! I have a Weber grill as well. LOVE IT! You may want to invest in spare ‘flavor bars’ to keep on hand if/when the ones start to deteriorate. We had to replace ours at some point and it took some time before we got it. So I bought a backup just in case. Also with your cardboard, you could use it to start prepping the land for you garden. It works fabulous to set up a grassy or weedy area to prep for a garden. Looks like you had a lovely get together. Good luck with the house projects. Can’t wait to see more. 😁
Becky I talk about you at my house like we've been best friends for years! My husband and son think I'm crazy but I do not care! I love that you pronounce Onion Ungyon because I grew up in Oregon and I think it's regional thing like Here in Utah alot of people moutain instead of Mountains. You have the most amazing, supportive and helpful parents! You are living a dream life lady! Thanks for sharing it with all of us and teaching us your Jedi ways!!
I have adhd and struggle with depression and something about your videos helps me get up and complete tasks. I've been watching you for quite some time and your down-to-earth positivity is so refreshing. Seeing you work hard through a project and get things done helps me feel capable and inspires me to do the same. My fiance teases me because I'll say I'm going to do the dishes or cook dinner and I turn on one of your videos to keep me company while i work. He lovingly refers to you as "Becky with the good garden." 🤦😂 Anyway, I dont comment on videos often but I felt the need to tell you that I have such an appreciation for you, and the content you create. You carry yourself with such love and intention. I think you're super cool. 😎
@@laviestbelle3760 I'm not sure about ADHD (maybe I just haven't seen that video yet), but she mentioned in one of her Q&A videos that she suffered from severe dyslexia & didn't really learn to read until she got to public school (11th & 12th grades) as well as having anxiety issues from time to time.
Yesterday, instead of making a single batch of chocolate chip cookies, I tripled the batch, and just baked two cookie sheets full, and am going to scoop dough balls and flash freeze them, then place them in double ziplock freezer bags (to prevent freezer burn or taste), to bake fresh as I need or want them. My husband prefers them freshly baked and warm from the oven. Thanks to your mom for sharing the idea.
Yes Becky, you truly are Blessed. You deserve everything you have! Can’t wait to see what the future holds for you and Josh and I’m happy to be along for the ride!
This is the first time I've seen your parents and they just seem so sweet! I can tell where you get it from. When your dad oohd over the trim and excitedly called your mum to come see it made me smile so big! The house is coming along nicely!
Love your new home! You probably already know this but the "weeds" you pulled are Dandelions you can eat them. Dandelion Greens with Double Garlic Save Print Ingredients ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil 6 cloves of garlic, sliced ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste 1 pound dandelion greens with stems, washed and roughly chopped ½ cup vegetable stock 1 clove of garlic minced Instructions Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the sliced garlic, pepper flakes, and some salt and black pepper and cook for about 1 minute. The garlic should soften and become fragrant. Add the greens and stock. Cover and cook until the greens have wilted slightly, about 5 minutes. Remove the lid, but continue to cook and stir until the liquid has all but evaporated, about 5 more minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Adjust seasonings and serve. Nutrients and Health Benefits of Dandelion Recipes So, since changing my mindset a bit, I now get giddy when I see the little yellow blossoms pop up all over my yard. Not only are dandelions very edible, but they are also incredibly nutritious. The nutrients found in dandelions rival any leafy greens, they are full of vitamins and minerals. Dandelions contain vitamins A, C, K, Folate, calcium, and potassium. These vitamins and minerals provide those that use dandelion recipes with many different health benefits.

I think you will grow to love everything about your new grill. The side burner on the grill is nice for frying. Frying in the house just seems to hang in the air, so doing it outside is nice. I love frying up corn tortillas into homemade chips for guacamole 🥑 & salsa, or frying chicken. I like to have a full spare tank, because it never seems to fail, that it runs out in the middle of a big cook for coming lol. Enjoy!
Your new home is so beautiful - even tho you're not moved in yet, we can see just how amazing it is. I felt like I was there with your family enjoying the food and laughing and admiring the work that you've already accomplished. I could feel the cool moisture from the rain and smell the wet woods. And I didn't have to prep or clean up lol! Thank you so much for sharing this with all of us - you are blessed, and you have blessed us as well. Looking forward to all the goodness (and challenges!) that is coming 🙂
Always love to see your mom. She is organized and great help in time of need. She has good advice on cooking. Rather than complain of absent cooking items, she improvises and make do without. In the end, food presentation is awesome. She is a gem and a must have.
Becky, you are blessed with the gift of hospitality along with your culinary skills; your family and friends have and will enjoy the benefits of your new home with good food, fellowship, making memories; enjoy that new grill and I am sure everyone will look forward to seeing your grilling recipes. 🍔🍟🌮🫕 Be happy and God bless your new home.
Happy Sunday Becky! Josh did a great job assembling the new gas grill. All the food and sides and snacks/desserts/ drinks looked delicious! So glad you had a great party! Tfs and wishing you and Josh a great week! Sending Cali love. 🌞👍
Hi Becky, you and Josh are so adorable together. Also, I must give a shout out to your parents. What a blessing to have such encouraging parents. I love your channel and never miss a video. Best Wishes.♥️👏♥️
Josh reminds me of my husband he would rather put it together his self and know if it is right and he and our family are safe in use anything then. Glad your get together will Christen your new home. Looking forward to watching it come alive with you and Josh to some of the work together. Stay Safe and enjoy the party.
Becky & Josh, Thank you for sharing this awesome journey with us. There's so much in store for the both of you & things are finally coming together for the both of you & it's well deserved. Enjoy the process & don't stress over what you can't do, Rome wasn't built in a day & this is to be your forever home, take the time you need to do everything the way you want it done & you will always look back & remember everything you both did together & with your awesome families & friends❣ 🙆♀️😎🙋♀️
After moving two households and paying so much for all our boxes - we are saving all the moving boxes as well as the Amazon boxes as they come in to layer on the bottom of our future garden to build up the raised garden beds. You may want to consider that option with recycling the cardboard boxes go forward (I think you have the space in your downstairs shop/garage in the new house for now?)
I really enjoy watching your channel! I watched this video when it came out a few weeks ago. When you were in the garden harvesting lettuce I noticed you were out of breath and wondered if you were pregnant. I was so out of breath during all 3 of my pregnancies. I talked to my doctor and asked if I was okay also! When I saw your video where you let us know you were pregnant I was squealing. So happy for you and Josh! My breathing went back to normal after my babies were born. Don't worry about being out of breath growing a human is hard work. Congratulations, so exciting!
Thank you for sharing your first party in the new house. Looking forward to loads more. Josh has done an awsome job with all the trim work. The place looks GREAT!
It’s so you to describe your mum’s caesar dressing as (now) famous. 😆 Made me smile. In a good way. Your mum, family and friends will be more proud of you as your viewers. YT is a blessing for those who engage to help others. ❤️
Another great video, Becky!! I hope you had a long relaxing bath and some wine when you went back to the current home! Your mom is a delight and always nice to see her! I can't wait to see your adventures in the new house! All my best to you and Josh! 🤗
Your mom is a trip and so sweet. She is so helpful and u have a good relationship with families. Always a great thing. Just enjoy watching your videos.
Loving seeing your new home come together! We've always used the burner on the side of the grill for corn on the cob or lobster! I love how excited your Dad is about the trim! And your Mom explaining about grilling!
Ok, I'm GIDDY about this new home and all the fun adventures to come!!! And the new GRILL videos!!! I have also been waiting YEARS (ok, decades) to buy one, so you may have me heading to Home Depot/Lowes to get one!!! *But my sweet hubby wouldnt in a million years consider putting it together..... YAY JOSH!!!!!!! He is so talented!!! You really are so inspiring, I love your channel more and more with each passing video!
Thank you for sharing your overwhelm. I only have a teeny tiny garden and I neglected it for a bit but I know that there is value in it, my attempt, and it’s bounty. You inspire me endlessly
I agree with your parents that your bedroom looks much better with the new trim. Your parents are so sweet. What a blessing to share your beautiful home with your family and friends. Thank you for the video. 😊💖🏡😊🙏🏻
I got to hand it to you. I would have never had a party at the new house yet. I can't believe ya'll were able to pull that off with everything else you are doing. Amazing! I'm so glad that it is feeling like home and that you are enjoying it so much. That is just wonderful for you and your family. So many memories just waiting to be made. Make sure that you enjoy the process and don't over do it.
Congratulations The food looked so delicious. Your family is wonderful. Love your Mom & Dad Becky. So sweet that Josh’s Mom brought all those beverages. Team effort. So very happy for y’all.
If you add an eighth of a teaspoon of plain gelatin to your cream while whipping it, it will stabilize the cream and it will keep its texture and volume. Also flat sheets of cardboard make a great weed barrier in your vegetable garden. A white bleeding heart. So pretty.
It always feels so good to have people over to celebrate a new home! And you're right - the friends and family you want over will take you just as you are. This series is really fun to watch! And congrats on the grill - it looks like a really nice one!
Congratulations Josh and Becky on your new forever home. I love your positive attitude Becky. I was thinking how lush and green your garden looks. You are blessed to get that rain. So nice you could enjoy a house warming with friends and family this soon. I’m such a perfectionist- I would have waited until everything was done, furniture moved in, decorated and all....which would take months...lol your videos really are encouraging and inspirational.
Your new grill is a perfect way for you to practice cooking with propane! I left you some hints and tips on that on the relevant film yesterday. It might be worth saving your cardboard. You can use it to line the bases of your new raised beds when you get them, it stops any weeds growing up into the bed and gradually breaks down just like the woodchips. Please hug those beautiful dogs for me. They were so good not walking through your dirt pike when you were sweeping. Mine would have regarded that as a challenge clearly put there just for them. 🐶
I love how excited your parents are about the home updates! Too sweet! I know y'all are super busy,but you should totally do "merch" with the word phenomenal! 💕
We love Josh! So glad to see the two of you together on camera! The calibration for the propane in your grill is genious!!! You can use the side burner to make tortilla shells while you roast the meat and veggies in the grill! ❤️❤️❤️
torn lettuce stays fresher longer, when you cut lettuce up with a metal knife it makes the edges go brown, everything looks amazing - great party, as to the cowboy candy, i do something similar with cream cheese topped with sweet chilli sauce and i also use salted chips to serve
I'm not a tiny closer to have this motivation or space for a garden but I had a plant that died and planted some herbs instead of getting a new decorative plant. Thanks for being so inspiring for us 😊
Becky this was a great video … I specially love your parents walking thru the house and commenting how fantastic the trim work is coming along … your parents are such a blessing … I love to watch all the positive encouragement … I’m so happy to see all went great and how good it makes you feel to host friends and family again
Congratulations on your big “Adulting Moment” of buying a grill! You will learn to love that burner on the side of it. We use ours all the time. It’s great for doing a side that you would be doing on the stove outside so you can be apart of the party. Also, we love to do Low Country Boils and this keeps the stinky outside! I also use it for my water bath canning or anything really when I don’t want to heat up my house or have all my burners occupied with other things.
I caught Charles Dowding and he uses plain cardboard in the garden, tops it with compost and plants. The cardboard keeps out weeds and even helps him establish née planting beds in grassy areas. Just FYI as you work to create your new garden space. Love your new home! Congratulations!
Yay love Becky time!! You are amazing!! I can’t wait to see all the new recipes you make using that new grill! I love when you include your family for party prep!
I have never seen anyone else besides my husband sweep in a circle! 😄 I’m so happy for y’all. And I laughed when you said you were getting cold. It’s been 100+ since May here in the south. We’re expecting chances of rain every day for the next week and lord we need it! The garden needs it for sure. I’m the grilled in the family. I use charcoal and wood. Sometimes I wish we had a gas grill when I’m feeling lazy but you can’t beat a good wood/ smoke taste on da meats! I want a half & half one one day! 😁
How exciting this is for you! I had no idea you had to assemble the grill to that extent?!?👏 I thought it just came assembled 🙄 I guess there's an option to have lowes assemble it for you, at a cost... Thank you for sharing your feelings about the garden. It will provide for you however much attention or neglect it gets. You are prioritizing your life, and letting go of things you can't control. I say the house is top priority rn. Great job team!
Hi, Becky! Excited for you and Josh to have some fun this evening! Time for a bit of relaxation after so much work. Again, your house and property are just awesome, ready for tons of wonderful memories made.
The white plant with the little hearts is called in german "tränende Herzen" means "watery hearts" and is also in pink available. You work so much! Love from Germany
You are such a blessing! I’ve cooked more since joining your community! your family is so supportive & I really like the trim choice! Happy Housewarming!!! ICYMI: My kitchen aide mixer is just like yours & is 35 years old. I repack gears annually with $8 Kitchen aide grease & youtube video. Works like NEW. I DO use my clear plastic dry ingredient “collar” so I can add without getting clouds of flour & sugar. Don’t get rid of it until you try it. Have a BLESSED week!
FYI This is something I share at Farm Share, a CSA program I work with. If you find yourself without a colander and you need to "dry" your greens you can use a pillowcase. I know that this wouldn't have helped Becky in this case but for others. Put your greens in a clean pillowcase and go outside and "spin" your salad. Kids love to do this and it helps to get them to eat greens. PS can be fun for adults, too! I make sure I wash the pillowcase with non fragranced soap and no softner. I simply put it in the dish pan or plugged sink and wash it.and drip dry.
I'm making a lemon pound cake for a picnic i have on wednesday later this week, but the thought of a strawberry pound cake is so good that i may have to go for that instead!
Hello Becky and Josh congrats on getting your new homestead. looking forward to seeing you start growing your gardens again from a viewer in Toronto Ontario Canada
Sweetpea this old lady has had tears in her eyes watching your parents reactions to the work y'all have done. The look on ur precious face when talking about ur garden and the need to do but the pure Blessings from what you are receiving from it. And then ur talking about hosting gatherings, made the tears flow. I am the youngest and only girl of 7. And only 4 of us are still living. We let life come in and build silly walls between us and now we are strangers and it had alot to do with the 3 youngest boys passing. Oh well my mama retired from hosting when I was 12 and she 52 then I took over. Sadly but I only cook homemade for myself these days. But am blessed with a teenager that let's me cook for her on occasion. Thanks for stirring some awesome memories ❤!
Good Sunday morning. 💐Hope you have a blessed day. More cool stuff coming. You guys are so cute together. Josh is such a great handyman. He doesn’t shy away from any job. Always a way to get it done. Awesome grill. You will have many many hours of making awesome food. The side burner is for putting a pan on it for like liquid stuff.
So happy for you and Josh ! Your dream home looks fantastic so far, cannot wait till you finish. When will you be starting your garden? Have you sold your other house? When will you move in completely? Also what breed are your dogs?🥰
You ARE Blessed! All I see is bounty and beauty, the garden is bountiful with growth and beautiful to behold and you my dear are absolutely beautiful!!!... Did you remember the Mayo?? Tee Hee🤭🤗 I have a silly question..do you find when you sweep up that you hold your breath or not? I always did and it used to kill my back. Being disabled now is just ridiculous to me as I was an active child/teen. I swam competitively for 15yrs (dad threw us in the pool and said sink or swim...we swam), ran track, threw shot putt & discus, played basketball and softball....WHAT HAPPENED??? I have so many auto-immune diseases, illnesses from both sides of the famil y and 3 that no one ever had...why why why? Thank you for letting me live vicariously through you guys!!!! You have no idea what it means to watch you both and find myself smiling! ooh ooh ooh...where did your mom get those black/red large bowls..want them so bad!!
you deserve all of these blessings! i must say i can't believe you are working on the house before the party...the party alone would be an energy wipeout for me, but working on the house all day before the party would just kill me! you are much younger than me though so more power to you, use that energy while you have it. 😉
I ❤ your new home but your kitchen! That large kitchen window, the outside view , the white cabinets like a magical cottage. Becky your running around like wow! You forgot to wash the floors, scrub the shower…..kidding! Your a little dynamite sweetheart and we all 😍 you and Josh! Josh! How did you put that grill together so fast? How did you even do it? Your parents raised a beautiful child, loving, caring and creative and full of energy. That goes for Josh. See ya next time
You and Josh approach everything with such a sense of joy and gratitude. You are understandably overwhelmed by all you have to catch up on in your garden, but still in wonder over what it provides. And hearing Josh whistle as he works to turn your new house into the home of your dreams.
Thanks so very much :)

You should keep the boxes and all packing incase there is anything wrong with the grill. I keep my boxes for 6 weeks.
I feel the same way!!!
@Jasper Rose 🌹 Sending you Love and prayers. You said it beautifully. 💗🙏
praying for you! focusing on the positive in life always helps to turn negativity around:)
This whole series is going to be so much fun. We are cheering you on!😍🎉
You got that right.
Becky’s channel is my new favorite. I just found her when she posted her video tour of her new home.
Yes it's so nice to see her enjoying herself and I love when her mums in the kitchen with her.
Happy y'all new house

Love your new home! You probably already know this but the "weeds" you pulled are Dandelions you can eat them.
Dandelion Greens with Double Garlic
Save
Print
Ingredients
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
6 cloves of garlic, sliced
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 pound dandelion greens with stems, washed and roughly chopped
½ cup vegetable stock
1 clove of garlic minced
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the sliced garlic, pepper flakes, and some salt and black pepper and cook for about 1 minute. The garlic should soften and become fragrant.
Add the greens and stock. Cover and cook until the greens have wilted slightly, about 5 minutes.
Remove the lid, but continue to cook and stir until the liquid has all but evaporated, about 5 more minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Adjust seasonings and serve.
Nutrients and Health Benefits of Dandelion Recipes
So, since changing my mindset a bit, I now get giddy when I see the little yellow blossoms pop up all over my yard. Not only are dandelions very edible, but they are also incredibly nutritious.
The nutrients found in dandelions rival any leafy greens, they are full of vitamins and minerals. Dandelions contain vitamins A, C, K, Folate, calcium, and potassium. These vitamins and minerals provide those that use dandelion recipes with many different health benefits.
Dandelions Recipes may be able to help:

Your new home is so beautiful - even tho you're not moved in yet, we can see just how amazing it is. I felt like I was there with your family enjoying the food and laughing and admiring the work that you've already accomplished. I could feel the cool moisture from the rain and smell the wet woods. And I didn't have to prep or clean up lol! Thank you so much for sharing this with all of us - you are blessed, and you have blessed us as well.

Hey Becky. I love your new home. I am super happy for you and Josh. Truly enjoy your channel as well. Congratulations to the both of you.
I love the pups running around when you first get there, like a couple of little kids they are so excited to be somewhere new with you and Josh!!!
I'm so excited for you and your husband on your new home! Enjoy!

You’re such an energized bunny!
Becky & Josh, Thank you for sharing this awesome journey with us.
There's so much in store for the both of you & things are finally coming together for the both of you & it's well deserved.
Enjoy the process & don't stress over what you can't do, Rome wasn't built in a day & this is to be your forever home, take the time you need to do everything the way you want it done & you will always look back & remember everything you both did together & with your awesome families & friends❣ 🙆♀️😎🙋♀️
So much fun and hard work. Been there and done that and so much fun cheering young folks along in their adventure. Thanks for sharing
Congratulations to you, josh and the pups on your forever home ❤️
Simply: you are a wonderful, skillful, generous teacher. Thanks for all you do for us!
The first of many entertaining times in your new home. So proud for you and josh. Love seeing your parents.
After moving two households and paying so much for all our boxes - we are saving all the moving boxes as well as the Amazon boxes as they come in to layer on the bottom of our future garden to build up the raised garden beds. You may want to consider that option with recycling the cardboard boxes go forward (I think you have the space in your downstairs shop/garage in the new house for now?)
I really enjoy watching your channel! I watched this video when it came out a few weeks ago. When you were in the garden harvesting lettuce I noticed you were out of breath and wondered if you were pregnant. I was so out of breath during all 3 of my pregnancies. I talked to my doctor and asked if I was okay also! When I saw your video where you let us know you were pregnant I was squealing. So happy for you and Josh!
My breathing went back to normal after my babies were born. Don't worry about being out of breath growing a human is hard work. Congratulations, so exciting!
Thank you for sharing your first party in the new house. Looking forward to loads more. Josh has done an awsome job with all the trim work. The place looks GREAT!
It’s so you to describe your mum’s caesar dressing as (now) famous. 😆
Made me smile. In a good way.
Your mum, family and friends will be more proud of you as your viewers. YT is a blessing for those who engage to help others. ❤️
Another great video, Becky!! I hope you had a long relaxing bath and some wine when you went back to the current home! Your mom is a delight and always nice to see her! I can't wait to see your adventures in the new house! All my best to you and Josh! 🤗
Your mom is a trip and so sweet. She is so helpful and u have a good relationship with families. Always a great thing. Just enjoy watching your videos.
Awe, thanks. Susan, Becky’s Mom.
Loving seeing your new home come together!
We've always used the burner on the side of the grill for corn on the cob or lobster!
I love how excited your Dad is about the trim!
And your Mom explaining about grilling!
Ok, I'm GIDDY about this new home and all the fun adventures to come!!! And the new GRILL videos!!! I have also been waiting YEARS (ok, decades) to buy one, so you may have me heading to Home Depot/Lowes to get one!!! *But my sweet hubby wouldnt in a million years consider putting it together..... YAY JOSH!!!!!!! He is so talented!!! You really are so inspiring, I love your channel more and more with each passing video!
Thank you for sharing your overwhelm. I only have a teeny tiny garden and I neglected it for a bit but I know that there is value in it, my attempt, and it’s bounty. You inspire me endlessly
I agree with your parents that your bedroom looks much better with the new trim. Your parents are so sweet. What a blessing to share your beautiful home with your family and friends. Thank you for the video. 😊💖🏡😊🙏🏻
We just bought a new house too. I can totally understand the overwhelming feeling of trying to do everything all at once. Great video !
I got to hand it to you. I would have never had a party at the new house yet. I can't believe ya'll were able to pull that off with everything else you are doing. Amazing! I'm so glad that it is feeling like home and that you are enjoying it so much. That is just wonderful for you and your family. So many memories just waiting to be made. Make sure that you enjoy the process and don't over do it.
Congratulations The food looked so delicious. Your family is wonderful. Love your Mom & Dad Becky. So sweet that Josh’s Mom brought all those beverages. Team effort. So very happy for y’all.
If you add an eighth of a teaspoon of plain gelatin to your cream while whipping it, it will stabilize the cream and it will keep its texture and volume. Also flat sheets of cardboard make a great weed barrier in your vegetable garden. A white bleeding heart. So pretty.
It always feels so good to have people over to celebrate a new home! And you're right - the friends and family you want over will take you just as you are. This series is really fun to watch! And congrats on the grill - it looks like a really nice one!
Thank you!
So happy for you & Josh. The new house looks amazing.
Congratulations Josh and Becky on your new forever home. I love your positive attitude Becky. I was thinking how lush and green your garden looks. You are blessed to get that rain. So nice you could enjoy a house warming with friends and family this soon. I’m such a perfectionist- I would have waited until everything was done, furniture moved in, decorated and all....which would take months...lol your videos really are encouraging and inspirational.
The container garden 🪴 you did at the end of each row came out beautiful!
Your new grill is a perfect way for you to practice cooking with propane! I left you some hints and tips on that on the relevant film yesterday. It might be worth saving your cardboard. You can use it to line the bases of your new raised beds when you get them, it stops any weeds growing up into the bed and gradually breaks down just like the woodchips. Please hug those beautiful dogs for me. They were so good not walking through your dirt pike when you were sweeping. Mine would have regarded that as a challenge clearly put there just for them. 🐶
Love, love, love seeing you and your Mom together in the kitchen ❤
You are blessed your garden looks great
I love how excited your parents are about the home updates! Too sweet!
I know y'all are super busy,but you should totally do "merch" with the word phenomenal! 💕
Thank you! Good idea
Pellet grills are so much better and tastes amazing. Beautiful garden!
Thank Goodness Josh is mechanically inclined! So excited for you both.
You've worked so hard to improve your raised bed soil. Are you going to take some of it to jump start your garden soil at the new house?
We love Josh! So glad to see the two of you together on camera! The calibration for the propane in your grill is genious!!! You can use the side burner to make tortilla shells while you roast the meat and veggies in the grill! ❤️❤️❤️
torn lettuce stays fresher longer, when you cut lettuce up with a metal knife it makes the edges go brown, everything looks amazing - great party, as to the cowboy candy, i do something similar with cream cheese topped with sweet chilli sauce and i also use salted chips to serve
You two are a great team!! The dogs are also a great team - they stick together!!
I'm not a tiny closer to have this motivation or space for a garden but I had a plant that died and planted some herbs instead of getting a new decorative plant. Thanks for being so inspiring for us 😊
Oh and it was so great to see you with Carolyn from Homesteading Family!! You 2 are my favorite utubers!! Loved seeing you together!
Glad you had a very nice time. Enjoy you're grilling at you're new home. Excited for you're next video. God bless.
Becky this was a great video … I specially love your parents walking thru the house and commenting how fantastic the trim work is coming along … your parents are such a blessing … I love to watch all the positive encouragement … I’m so happy to see all went great and how good it makes you feel to host friends and family again
Thank you so much!
Congratulations on your big “Adulting Moment” of buying a grill! You will learn to love that burner on the side of it. We use ours all the time. It’s great for doing a side that you would be doing on the stove outside so you can be apart of the party. Also, we love to do Low Country Boils and this keeps the stinky outside! I also use it for my water bath canning or anything really when I don’t want to heat up my house or have all my burners occupied with other things.
Never thought of water bathing on mine! Thanks
I do my water bath on the side burner as well for the same reason, I don't want to heat up the house.
I’m so glad I found your channel Becky! Your wisdom and skills surpass your years! Congratulations on your new home and new endeavours in it!💕
Becky! When are we going to get this messy bun tutorial?! (Non French twist one) 👀🙏
I love how you guys are so 'chil'. I'd be a mess. Your dad is just too precious
Your parents are so proud of y'all. I can tell their hearts are full💓⚓💓
So much energy!!!! You are awesome.
Thank you so much!!
Your parents reaction to your husbands carpentry skills 🥰 I love the new grill Becky.I am really enjoying these videos at your new home.
Thank you for letting us join your house warming party . Hope ye have many happy yrs in your new home . . God bless you bothxx☺
How fun. So glad you had fun in your new home. Glad you finally got a grill. You guys have wanted one for a while. Yummy treats to come this summer!
I caught Charles Dowding and he uses plain cardboard in the garden, tops it with compost and plants. The cardboard keeps out weeds and even helps him establish née planting beds in grassy areas. Just FYI as you work to create your new garden space. Love your new home! Congratulations!
Yay love Becky time!! You are amazing!! I can’t wait to see all the new recipes you make using that new grill! I love when you include your family for party prep!
I have never seen anyone else besides my husband sweep in a circle! 😄
I’m so happy for y’all.
And I laughed when you said you were getting cold. It’s been 100+ since May here in the south. We’re expecting chances of rain every day for the next week and lord we need it! The garden needs it for sure.
I’m the grilled in the family. I use charcoal and wood. Sometimes I wish we had a gas grill when I’m feeling lazy but you can’t beat a good wood/ smoke taste on da meats! I want a half & half one one day! 😁
June from Delish in her Xmas video said if you add some bloomed gelatin before you whip your heavy whipping cream it helps keep it set up.
Good idea! I love her
How exciting this is for you!
I had no idea you had to assemble the grill to that extent?!?👏 I thought it just came assembled 🙄
I guess there's an option to have lowes assemble it for you, at a cost...
Thank you for sharing your feelings about the garden. It will provide for you however much attention or neglect it gets. You are prioritizing your life, and letting go of things you can't control. I say the house is top priority rn. Great job team!
Lowes will do it when that employee agrees to day. They work on certain days and will deliver it too. For a price.
Hi, Becky! Excited for you and Josh to have some fun this evening! Time for a bit of relaxation after so much work. Again, your house and property are just awesome, ready for tons of wonderful memories made.
The white plant with the little hearts is called in german "tränende Herzen" means "watery hearts" and is also in pink available. You work so much! Love from Germany
If there was ever a woman who needed two kitchens, you are she. Enjoy this lovely time of your life, even if you feel overwhelmed sometimes.
You are such a blessing! I’ve cooked more since joining your community! your family is so supportive & I really like the trim choice! Happy Housewarming!!!
ICYMI: My kitchen aide mixer is just like yours & is 35 years old. I repack gears annually with $8 Kitchen aide grease & youtube video. Works like NEW. I DO use my clear plastic dry ingredient “collar” so I can add without getting clouds of flour & sugar. Don’t get rid of it until you try it.
Have a BLESSED week!
FYI This is something I share at Farm Share, a CSA program I work with. If you find yourself without a colander and you need to "dry" your greens you can use a pillowcase. I know that this wouldn't have helped Becky in this case but for others. Put your greens in a clean pillowcase and go outside and "spin" your salad. Kids love to do this and it helps to get them to eat greens. PS can be fun for adults, too! I make sure I wash the pillowcase with non fragranced soap and no softner. I simply put it in the dish pan or plugged sink and wash it.and drip dry.
Our tailgate is broken too. It’s the little things that can drive you crazy, but you guys just go with the flow. So inspiring!
I'm making a lemon pound cake for a picnic i have on wednesday later this week, but the thought of a strawberry pound cake is so good that i may have to go for that instead!
You made me think.
Lemon and strawberry go very well together!🤔
@@diannamc367 an even better idea! i may have to go for a lemon pound cake with strawberry jam on top!
Oh that sounds delicious. I can’t bake for anything.
@@minovermatter
Mix some whipoed cream with the strawberries & garnish with strawberry slices. Now I want to bake one 🤭🥰❣🙆♀️
Hello Becky and Josh congrats on getting your new homestead. looking forward to seeing you start growing your gardens again from a viewer in Toronto Ontario Canada
Sweetpea this old lady has had tears in her eyes watching your parents reactions to the work y'all have done. The look on ur precious face when talking about ur garden and the need to do but the pure Blessings from what you are receiving from it. And then ur talking about hosting gatherings, made the tears flow. I am the youngest and only girl of 7. And only 4 of us are still living. We let life come in and build silly walls between us and now we are strangers and it had alot to do with the 3 youngest boys passing. Oh well my mama retired from hosting when I was 12 and she 52 then I took over. Sadly but I only cook homemade for myself these days. But am blessed with a teenager that let's me cook for her on occasion. Thanks for stirring some awesome memories ❤!
Good Sunday morning. 💐Hope you have a blessed day. More cool stuff coming. You guys are so cute together. Josh is such a great handyman. He doesn’t shy away from any job. Always a way to get it done. Awesome grill. You will have many many hours of making awesome food. The side burner is for putting a pan on it for like liquid stuff.
Don’t forget to take your flowers and pots with you
So happy for you and Josh ! Your dream home looks fantastic so far, cannot wait till you finish. When will you be starting your garden? Have you sold your other house? When will you move in completely? Also what breed are your dogs?🥰
You ARE Blessed! All I see is bounty and beauty, the garden is bountiful with growth and beautiful to behold and you my dear are absolutely beautiful!!!... Did you remember the Mayo?? Tee Hee🤭🤗
I have a silly question..do you find when you sweep up that you hold your breath or not? I always did and it used to kill my back. Being disabled now is just ridiculous to me as I was an active child/teen. I swam competitively for 15yrs (dad threw us in the pool and said sink or swim...we swam), ran track, threw shot putt & discus, played basketball and softball....WHAT HAPPENED??? I have so many auto-immune diseases, illnesses from both sides of the famil y and 3 that no one ever had...why why why? Thank you for letting me live vicariously through
you guys!!!! You have no idea what it means to watch you both and find myself smiling!
ooh ooh ooh...where did your mom get those black/red large bowls..want them so bad!!
you deserve all of these blessings! i must say i can't believe you are working on the house before the party...the party alone would be an energy wipeout for me, but working on the house all day before the party would just kill me! you are much younger than me though so more power to you, use that energy while you have it. 😉
Love the new grill, and those chicken kabobs are to die for!! Lol. So nice to see the joy the new house is bringing you both.
Always nice to have help getting things cleaned up! Congratulations on your grill!🥳
I ❤ your new home but your kitchen! That large kitchen window, the outside view , the white cabinets like a magical cottage. Becky your running around like wow! You forgot to wash the floors, scrub the shower…..kidding! Your a little dynamite sweetheart and we all 😍 you and Josh! Josh! How did you put that grill together so fast? How did you even do it? Your parents raised a beautiful child, loving, caring and creative and full of energy. That goes for Josh. See ya next time
I hunt for your videos everyday. I love everything you do!
congratulations on your grill!! so exciting!!
