I am not even into cleaning or organizing but GOD u r so real and lovely !! like no wonder I am addicted to your videos. I wish u and your whole family the best ❤
I buy all my grandkids backpacks from L.L. Bean. My oldest used her first one from preschool through grade 6. She got a new one for junior high because she wanted a bigger one.
My pizza dough recipe : 1 1/2 tsp sugar, 1 1/2 tsp active dry yeast added to 1 1/2 cups warm water set aside until foamy on top. That gets added to 3 cups flour… that’s its base I typically add a drizzle of olive oil and a possibly oregano for flavor but it’s not necessary - good luck finding your happy dough! ☺️ I used to mix it and knead it by hand now I just throw it into the kitchen aid mixer with dough hook and it’s fine- btw your yard is looking amazing!
@@shannontorrens1 np! I’m by no means a pro but little things I’ve started to do also is to use a seed starter mat for a rise when my kitchen is cold or I want the dough sooner - also in my oven, I get a firmer crust when I cook it on a lower rack
My tried and true pizza dough recipe. 1/2 cup warm (but not to hot water) 1tbsp yeast 1tbsp sugar Add these together let bloom for 5-10 minutes Add 1cup warm water 1/4 olive oil 3- 3 1/2 cups flour (you want the dough to form a ball and be slightly tacky) Pinch of salt. Mix into a ball let it rise for 1 1/2 hours in a warm spot. Punch down and form 2 pizza doughs. It bakes in 13 minutes at 500 degrees.
Hi Shannon I enjoyed seeing Levi he’s such a cutie & happy birthday to your son 🎉 the cake looks delicious. Love your garden 🪴 everything looks wonderful. Praying for Peace here in Israel 🇮🇱 & for all the innocent people who are tragically killed 💔
Hi Shannon, you have become my very favorite on YT. Your kindness and friendliness shines through! It's so nice that you read the comments and take suggestions from your community. It makes your videos a "two way street" (I hope that makes sense) Pizza - do you like thick pan crust? We have been making cast iron pan pizza from America's Test Kitchen (found a video on YT of course:-) that is really good - very cheesy! Have a great week!
Glad to listen to you every Sunday as I unload the dishwasher and do some other kitchen things. You are such a real person. I am older than your mom (always love seeing her) and find your young family a joy.
Great video!! Levi reminds me of my youngest. He was born on March 30th, so very close in age to Levi. 🥰. Lucas climbed out of his crib at like 15 mos! I was not ready for that. He climbs on everything! Found him on the top bunk during nap time. 🤦
QUICK ZIP SHEETS make life easier from baby bed; twin, queen and even king size sheets - check them out. I bought king size because as a senior it was hard wrestling with that mattress. They are a bit expensive but I just buy the "system" which comes with one zipper sheet and i bought just 1 extra. No other sheets/pillow cases. Used the ones I had. God bless you and yours.
Hi, Shannon enjoy all ur videos. Especially when ur son correted u😂. Just a little tip when u use a pen or pencil to draw the circles for baking pan be sure to turn parchment paper over so ink or lead isn’t getting on cake itself.
What a blessing to have three children. I love seeing Levi at this age. Such a joy to spend time with children. I remember those days although so long ago.
Shannon, I use a 50/50 vinegar and water solution to clean my windows. No streaks, but just make sure not to clean windows when the sun is shining on them!
Thank you for that tip! Cleaning these windows on such a sunny hot day was not a good idea lol. Next time I will do it in the evening or early morning. =)
I love your inspo so much! My kids are very similar ages to your three and one hack I do to help with bedding is I stopped using top sheets for kids. It's fine; they're little! Saves me so much time changing sheets and making beds.
Hey Shannon! I also have cleaning routines that I choose two or three tasks a day to work on throughout the week instead of spending an entire day cleaning. I'm looking forward to seeing how your fireplace turns out! That was so funny when Levi was right next to you and you didn't know it! That side table is cute! I have a similar one that I got from a friend who used to have it in her childhood home but she wasn't using it. The weather has been bouncing back and forth here in Texas too! I keep thinking fall is going to be here, but then it gets hot again! I always enjoy watching your videos! Thanks for sharing!💗
Happy Birthday to your cute son. 🎉 ❤ You're such wonderful parents. ❤ I used to have a breadmaker to make the pizza dough. 🍕So much fun with the toppings. You can make jam, too. 🤩
Your videos motivate me so much! Love seeing the ones with your mom as well ( as she is my age) Thank you for taking the time to show different ways to clean in short time spans, it's amazing what you can get done in five minutes. Take care!
Happy birthday to your son. I know yours is coming up soon. 😊 Levi is such a little cutie who is just growing too fast. Love seeing the kids once in awhile in your videos.
I feel the same re. baking. It's one of my favorite hobbies! The parchment paper is my favorite tool of success. I get the two pack at Costco and it lasts for yrs! It also works great if something is browning too quickly in the oven. Just lay a piece over the casserole Et cetera until cook time is up.. I also use it when I roll out pizza dough. Most of the recipes I use I find online but I also have one favorite cookbook. I understand about windows, but yours look beautiful after cleaning. I have tried to use homemade cleaner of just vinegar, rubbing alcohol & water, but it never fully worked. So now I'm back to name brand windex with vinegar. I tried to avoid it but I just want the windows and mirrors to look good & my other concoctions just didn't work. I love how you mixed up that homemade ice cream in no time! Most momma's w/kids the age of y'alls would say they were too busy to do something like that, same with baking a cake..but it honestly does not take that long when you have a routine to your day and a minimal type of life❤😊 I just made a new recipe for an Apple Cake today and it turned out so good. I found it online under Amy "Roloff's Little Kitchen recipes. So many good recipes there! I've been doing all of the random homemaking things which you shared here, including knitting pumpkins. I really should teach myself to sew with the machine though, so I could stop giving my mom curtains to hem l o l Today was chilly and rainy w/only a high of 50 something...brr Happy Sunday from our 🏡 home to yours! P.S. I remember that our kids backpacks rarely made it through one school year. It's crazy!
Hi Julia, Thank you for the tip with the parchment paper in the oven! I will have to remember to try that. I have never had apple cake but that sound really yummy. I hope you have a wonderful week and hopefully it's not too cold. =)
I dont think you need a new trash can. If its smaller like yours, i tend to it empty it more often. I built in my own cupboard in a size similar to that. I love it. It tilts out at the top if im just throwing in a piece of paper, but also slides out like a drawer for larger trash or for emptying. Best thing i ever did ! 😂
Happy belated birthday to your son. Your cake looks delicious. I clean my windows the same with water and micro fiber cloth. Perfect every time. Thank you for the video. 🙂
He is so precious tell him Happy Birthday. My name is Felicia I am Joe's wife. I am a foster mom I was thinking of getting bunk beds. Thank you for the idea of casters. Would you recommend a bunk bed they have a small bedroom? What do you have for water proof mattress protectors? If you could could you make a video of those? What kind of material are your covers?
Shannon, your back yard looks amazing!!!! It's so cozy and inviting! I agree that bunk beds are hard to change sheets on. It is helpful to let the kids strip them, while they are in them, and then I would remake them. We have radical temperature changes in Ohio. I remember one day my husband mowed in the morning and then we had a good bit of snow in the evening. Lol Great video! ❤
Your garden is looking beautiful! The plants have grown enormously since you put them in!😊. We’re really cooling down here (SW UK), and I have been putting the garden to bed at last. Cutting back the herbaceous plants and making sure everything is ready for winter! 😊
Really enjoyed the motivation and pace of your video! I am in absolute love with your back yard. Will be fun to see what you do in the spring to the front. We just reshaped my front yard and took out some berry bushes and an apple tree that was almost dead. Can't wait for spring to make my design come to life too.
Ooh I loved roller skating as a kid! So I gotta admit that I was absolutely cracking up over the fact that you made ice cream from scratch, the cake from scratch but used a canned frosting when frosting is so easy to make 😂. Still it looked so yummy that now I want some cake.
My mom's policy for bedmaking is: If you're old enough to have your own bed, you're old enough to make your bed and change your sheets. You can always ask for help, because four hands are better than two, but nobody is obliged to do it for you. If you want to sleep in a pigsty, feel free to do it.
It's so funny because before bunkbeds, I always thought what a great idea! So fun and efficient. But now I don't know if I would suggest them to people LOL.

I adore your vintage kitchen tiles. That mint color is so lovely!
I LOVE the look of all those pumpkins lined up!! I feel your pain in making bunk beds! We had them for our girls and they were so hard to make!
Your house always looks tidy & clean. I like the arch and the back yard has really filled out nicely.

The back yard is looking so beautiful already. I love the archway addition too.
Oh my goodness, your back yard is paradise!
Thanks to you I got rid of clothes I never liked after many years.
Levi scaring you was so funny! Love your videos! So relatable!
LOL I had to leave that in the video because it was so funny!
You really make a house a home. TFS.
Clean windows are such a simple pleasure! Your yard is beautiful!!! Happy birthday big guy 🤗🎂🎈🎉
Thank you so much 🤗
So refreshing to see that you uploaded a new video. I get very excited when I get the notification❤️

Your yard is really beautiful; amazing job fixing it up. I haven't found a pizza dough that I am totally happy with yet either.
Thank you! It's so hard to find a dough recipe that makes the perfect crust. =)

Same to you!
Again a really enjoyable video. Just love to see what you and your family are doing. The backyard is beautiful. Greetings from Indiana
Love your videos
Just the cleaning motivation I needed today.
Such a nice video. Your backyard is stunning!!

@@shannontorrens1 makes sense. I just figured by then you were over it 😂

Thank you for being here. I hope you have a nice week.
Thanks for the cookbook idea! Pizza looks yummy! ❤😊🐦
wife and I enjoy cleaning while watching you
That is awesome!
I wash the outside of the windows first than the inside.
That is a great idea! I will be sure to do it the other way around next time. Also I will pick a cooler day lol

My daughter did her own bed until she got a bunk bed. It's actually dangerous now. So I do her bed. And sometimes she helps me do mine.
I have 4 built in bunk beds and I absolutely agree - they are so hard to change the sheets. I wouldn’t do it again.
It's so funny because before bunkbeds, I always thought what a great idea! So fun and efficient. But now I don't know if I would suggest them to people LOL.
Shannon-can you link your patio furniture please
Hello, I bought that patio furniture from Costco. This is what it was called: SunVilla Kingston 4-piece Outdoor Patio Seating Set
