Coffee & Conversation | My Story, Budgeting Tips for a Simple Life
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 июн 2022
- Today begins a new series that I am calling Coffee & Conversation where I answer questions and even respond to video suggestions that I get from you. Today I picked one that I have gotten a couple of times and decided to make the entire video on this topic as it was a video request that I couldn't quite seem to do my normal style video around. I thought we could sit down for a bit and share my personal story regarding this question and give some tips for what I did to help budget our finances to live a more simple lifestyle. I hope these tips help and today's video might also answer questions you might have for me regarding my story. I am happy to share in hopes that it helps inspire, encourage, motivate or just result in a good tip that you can use in your own life.
Thank you so much for watching!

Im a pregnant wife, mom to a toddler and ive decided to leave my husband due to his dangerous addictions, this was uplifting to hear as i prepare for a new season. My name isnt on the home that my husband bought, and i signed a prenup so im leaving everything except what fits in my suv haha. Im BLESSED. My goal is to stay a homemaker and keep my children in my care 100% of the time, while saving up for a homestead yay❤️
Although my kids are now grown and gone, I continue to love being a full-time homemaker. After my kids left home, I heard from many people, "Are you going to get a job now?" Here's the thing....I HAVE a job. I am a homemaker, and I love it!
YESSS!! For sure!! ❤️❤️🙌🙌
Your decision to be at home for your daughter is admirable and honorable. ❣
I was in the women's lib generation where women were encouraged to find themselves and leave the home. ( Even though a woman who chose to stay home was looked down upon). I loved raising my children and caring for my home. I never got caught up in the hype. People said we couldn't do it on one income, as we lived in CA. I always said and still say, it depends on what your priorities are. Our outings for a family of 6, were hiking with packed snacks. We didn't have fancy name brand anything. We shopped second hand (still do at 62 and empty nest 😊) I cooked from scratch. I look back and the most beautiful memories I have are my children and things we did together or conversations we had, a lot of which I would not of experienced if I was away 9-10 hour a day.
This was an inspiring video.. thank you! Your daughter is blessed!🥰
This is just my experience and mine only. Everyone has to do what they have to do for their situation. Yet, if a mom could stay home, it is the most fulfilling journey. You are not only there for your most precious beings but you find yourself. ❣
I love everything you said! Thank you so much for sharing your story with me as well. I can relate to every bit of it. I agree, It really does depend on our priorities and our mindsets. Sometimes we may go without the fancy stuff but the time we invest has an incredible impact as you know. Those conversations you had and memories of the time with your children, are such beautiful treasures. I hope to encourage others to always see the value and beauty in it. ❤️🌸🌺
@@aquaintlife you do 🥰
Omg! You are speaking truth and what I know in my heart, is a woman's role in life. That is why you find joy in it. Because it's God's plan. 😊
Amen to that! Nothing has made me feel more fulfilled and given me more joy in my life. His design is perfect 🙏❤️. Thank you for watching!! 💕

Thank you for watching! I am glad it resonated with you and I wish you the very best of luck with everything ❤️🙏
Thank you for sharing your story.
I to love Dave Ramsey and his frank to the point kind of approach.
He is so frank! At first, it was like hearing the harsh truth, but when you realize just how much value there is to that way of thinking and applying those principles to your life. It changes your whole way of thinking about money. Thank you for watching and commenting!

I am a relatively new subscriber and didn't know your backstory. Thank you for taking the time to share. I was a sahm for 6 years years and I loved every minute of it.

Hi and welcome!! Congratulations on an early retirement! What a wonderful way to spend your time! I hope you enjoy every minute of your time with them. That is so special ❤️
Hi Roxanna. I am new to your channel. Thank you for your lovely videos. It brings me joy to watch your home making and simple life. I have been on this journey to find myself and have a simple and joyful life. I am in my 60s and decided to cut my working hours so that I can focus on my homemaking and looking after my ill husband. It has helped me a lot to work half day only, my health has improved, by not being stressed and rushed every day.
Sending Love across the miles from South Africa.
Hello Ivana! South Africa! That’s amazing. Welcome to my channel! That’s wonderful your health has improved and I hope the same for your husband. I hope you continue with your journey and find a peaceful lifestyle that brings you joy! I appreciate you commenting and sharing your story with me. Thank you so much for watching! ❤️
Darling Roxanna
I’m working through your beautiful vlogs backwards and you just answered all my questions.
I’m glad you did that and I loved you immediately on watching but now I respect your choices and values so much more.
I am 58 and had a big career and 2 gorgeous boys (now men) and now care for my father and have more time but not endless gaps by any means - but the difference is my time is filled with meaning and purpose.
You are an inspiration to me and I hope your channel grows and inspires many many more 🥰
Hello Helen. Thank you so much for your sweet comment and for taking the time to write it. Your words really mean a lot to me. That is wonderful you have this time to spend with your father and loved ones. Our time is our most valuable thing we have to give. I hope you have a blessed week and thank you again ❤️
You are doing a beautiful job and heart is in the right place! May God bless you and your daughter! ❤
Thank you Carla! I appreciate your kind words. 💕
I love this! I am so impressed with the way you have created your life grounded in such honorable values. You are one of the strongest women I know ❤️
Cassie you are so sweet and I feel very much the same about you. I think we can recognize and appreciate strength in each other. ❤️❤️❤️
I appreciate you sharing your story and agree with all you said.
Thank you so much for watching 😊💕
Loved knowing about you and your life. Keep up the good work.
Hi Linda! Thank you so much! I appreciate that 😃
Thankyou for your wise words..God bless you and your daughter...
So nice of you. God bless you as well and thank you for watching :)
I really enjoyed this. I needed to hear something like this for my life. Iam a stay at home mom of 4 boys and I have been through a hard season in my life being a mom. I thank GOD for sharing this conversation with us. Thank you.
I am so glad it helped you!! You certainly have your hands full with 4 boys! I hope your hard season comes to an end soon. Thank you so much for watching and for your lovely comment 😃❤️
@@aquaintlife Thank you.
Thank you for this very personal video. Really inspiring for a Belgian homemaker! Maggie 🍀🌻🍀
Hello Maggie! And thank you so much for watching it. I really do appreciate your comments. Happy homemaking to you! I hope you have a wonderful Sunday ❤️🌺🌼
A reoccurring thought in my head as I watched your videos, why does she only set the table for two? I so appreciate you sharing your story this morning. Also I am more impressed with your videos now too!
Hi Lisa! It’s great to hear from you. You know it didn’t even occur to me that anyone might notice that! I was hesitant to share but I think just being transparent suites my personality. Thank you so much for watching!
Thank you for sharing about your life, I really appreciate your content and this was really enjoyable to “get to know you “better
Hi there Christa! Well thank you so much! I am so glad you enjoyed it and the content here. I appreciate the feedback so much! 😃❤️
So happy to found you and your chanel...I am really enjoying in your videos..I am so so sad that I did not stay at home whith my son..so sad. I wanted, but bescause of everyone around me I did not. I worked and still am working full time..reflecting on my life now, I regret that I was not brave enough to do that. Do I have more things now? Maybe...but just maybe. Am I happy? No. It is a long coment, but I sad this thing out loud for the first time in my life. Just to confirm your message in this video...❤
Hi Marina! Thank you for sharing your story with me. I totally understand that. But you know, this life ain’t always easy and choices aren’t always available to us when we want them to be. I think there’s a lot to be proud of providing for your son. You know I have friends that tell me the same thing and now they are grandparents that are able to spend that time with their grandchildren. Perhaps that will be your story as well. 😃❤️
I really appreciate this video! Please, can we be best friends?!😂 This video has been a huge encouragement to me as a full-time homemaker. My girls are 11 & 15 so I can relate to you on so many levels - especially Dave Ramsey whom I'm currently following as well. Thank you so much for taking the time to share a part of your world. It's been a joy and huge encouragement to watch.
Hello Mercedes! Awe that’s so sweet. I love reading that the videos encourage you in your homemaking. It’s such important work and I just want to encourage woman everywhere to always remember that because I know some days are harder than others and often times we don’t get the praise we deserve! Yes to Dave! He has been so helpful to me and really changed my whole perspective on money. Sometimes I can’t believe how careless I once was with it. 🤦🏽♀️Thank you for your wonderful comment as it does encourage me as well. Have a beautiful Sunday with your girls. 🌺❤️
This is my favorite video to date!🥰
It is?? Wow! That’s amazing to read! I wasn’t sure if anyone would bother watching a talking style let alone enjoy it the most. That’s encouraging. I appreciate it so much. 🌺🌹😃
Coffee chats are right up my alley! I feel like we really get to know you.. it’s wonderful ☕️🥰
@@IdaMaySmith yes that totally makes sense! More to come for sure 😃🙌❤️
Beautiful video Roxanna!! ❤️🙏
Roxanna, I’m Anita’s sister in Fl. You are an inspiration and blessing!🙏🏻❤️
Hello Miss Anita. I hope your doing fantastic today. Thank you for watching ❤️🌺
@@maureenhalas2485 well hello again! Thank you so much for your sweet comment. I am really so glad you both have found and enjoy the channel. Thank you so much for watching and letting me know your here. Have a beautiful Sunday 🌺❤️
I loved this video! ok This is random, but I was wondering about the lip colors that you wear in the videos.
Hi Melissa! Thank you! And on the lip colors, I love to use the Maybelliene Superstay line both the ink crayon and the matte ink tubes. They are awesome! I have a red that’s called Exhilarator that’s like a bright red and an ink crayon that’s sort of a mauve pink called Stay Exceptional. In this video I am wearing a burts bees lip stain that I don’t know the name of cause it’s worn off. But it’s like a cherry color.
Thank you, I will check those out!
