I feel like we all should take a moment to appreciate how much you just provided for us! A free meal plan plus video instructions! You just taught me more in an hour than any cooking show ever did! Thank you Amy 🙌🏻♥️🤗
Hi Amy, I love you & your family! I am a mom of 11 & have been blessed with 23 grandchildren! When I watch your videos, it reminds me of my life when I was younger! The way that you stay sane with all the responsibility with a big family is staying organized and meal planning! God has blessed me in so many ways🙏🏻 ❤️ ✝️ I love when you read the psalms! We need the Lord more than ever!!! Keep up the good work!!! This younger generation need Moms in their life to show them the way! God has chosen you!!! God Bless I’ll keep watching ❤️😘😘👍👍👍🇺🇸
You’ve just given me recipes for a month as there are only two of us here now. Honestly, that cheeseburger pasta would feed us more the twice!! Thank you Amy!!
This video was a great idea! Especially in these times where everyone's food budget is stretched to the max, and food pantry usage is at an all time high! Thanks for taking the time to compile all of this and the grocery list!!!
In South Africa we call the crepes pancakes. They are a South African staple, we love having them when iy is rainy and cold - traditionally we sprinkle them with cinnamon sugar and roll them up. Rainy weather = cinnamon sugar pancakes. They even bake them in front of our grocery stores, so you can buy some on rainy days when you are done grocery shopping.
Love this so much!!!! I've had to do the same, meal planning on a dime, for years for my family. I always love these videos to know I'm not the only one and it's awesome to see what you make and how you budget your family's meals. Please keep these videos coming and thanks for the freebies! God bless!!!
In England on Shrove Tuesday those 'crepes' are what we call our pancakes. Serve with a sprinkle of lemon and sugar. YUM! Depending where you live in England there are other toppings. But this is the simplest and very delicious. :) from a Brummie Brit in Ontario Canada.
You spent so much time and effort to make that meal plan and grocery list for everyone. What a thoughtful idea. I am certain that there is not a single subscriber that does not appreciate you. Thank you for what you do. Oh the Instant Pot. I have not used my slow cooker in 4 years since I got my Instant Pots. (I have 3) I don't think I could cook without them.
Good morning, Amy! Thank you so much for sharing meal planning with recipes and grocery list. Absolutely wonderful. How many families will this help! I’m going to enjoy it even though it’s just me. I can make foods and freeze or just put new delicious foods into my menu. Again, thank you very much for reading beautiful and inspirational words n prayer to us. I appreciate it. Have a fantastic and blessed day. See you tomorrow.
I grew up with rice, milk and sugar. My grandpa was from the philippines islands and we use to have rice, milk and sugar, it is so good. This is such a wonderful idea. Thank you for all the tips and the gorcery list.
Thank you for this wonderful meal plan! You are so generous to give it away, no strings attached! You are such a caring, helpful person. I never miss a show! The food looks delicious also. Can't wait to try some of these. Please do more! Love the Psalms at the end too.
Crepes are fantastic filled with savory things....chicken, spinach, even ricotta and cheese, taco meat, even pizza sauce and cheese. eggs sausage and cheese.....so many options to stuff the crepes and have them for dinner.
Just as a PSA, we're doing the whole 3rd and 4th grade books you made, and my kids have learned more just since starting back on the 5th this month than they learned the entire first semester of distanced learning through our public school system. I haven't had to use the answer key, yet, that you also provide for download, but it is going so smoothly! I honestly couldn't thank you enough for creating this curriculum! ❤️
We just started the remedial work for my two oldest kids and we are just really happy with it so far. Thank you Amy for sharing such a wonderful resource.
Another lil tip! Place a large wooden spoon that fits across the top of pan will keep the food from boiling over! Don’t know why but my Mom ♥️taught me that when learning to cook! Was blessed to have my Mom n a stepmom that was truly just another mom! Both are gone now! So enjoy your mom if you are blessed to still have them!
I make crepes on Pancake Tuesday and fill with chicken and mushroom in a sauce and bake them covered to heat them up. If you take out the sugar in the German pancake it’s Yorkshire pudding we have with roast beef. Love the downloads thanks for sharing, stay safe always xx
Love the meal plan gives me good ideas of new meals to try - sadly as I'm in the UK no Walmart for me, but no worries I can figure out the shopping list :) thank you Amy for sharing all your excellent ideas x
A new thing I started doing was putting CORN NUTS as a garnish on my soups like Posole. Even though I have corn AND hominy in there already. They all play a roll and giving a different texture and taste to your dish. The only thing is regular corn nuts is too salty so you either have to buy no salt or low sodium ones online or factor the salt from the corn nuts and omit most of the salt from your dish. Do what works! Love your videos! You are certainly a blessing helping everyone who watches these videos. God bless you and your family!
Good morning everyone. Yes please keep giving us more ideas a meal plans. I have gotten in a rut with our meals and I feel like everyone is getting burned out of the same meals week after week. We have enjoyed so many of your recipes including some I grew up eating and never had the recipe until you made them. Thank you so much for sharing you life and wonderful family with all of us. Have a wonderful and blessed day.
For a different version of the German pancake, peel and thinly slice 1-2 apples and lay on top of the butter and place in the oven while it preheats. Mix the batter and pour over par cooked apples, sprinkle a few tablespoons of brown sugar over the top and cook. Very tasty!
🙏continue! Thanks for the update; you, Abby & family have been on my mind this morning! There is something you should know re: iron iintake...don't drink tea with the pill as the tannic acid in tea reduces the iron absorption. If Abby likes reg. or iced tea take it 1 hour before or 2 hours after so she gets full absorbency of her iron! Have a Blessed weekend🙂 Keepin' the Faith, Always, Hope🙏💞👵
Iron pills I take one a day too..or I did a blog post on how to get it real quick from using raw liver...yes yuck but it worked quickly www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=plainandnotsoplain.com/my-frugal-productivity-last-week-was/&ved=2ahUKEwiQt-uY357uAhXBqFkKHfQmBFAQFjAAegQIAxAB&usg=AOvVaw1yjHMJ9WsKYiStyxaopdhx
My daughter and I both anemic. Take cvs ferrous gluconate 65 mg per hematologist. Said better than ferrous sulfate. May work for others? But as dr of courae
Morning! I miss our nice quiet mornings together with our coffee. We are friends and you didn’t even know it😂 I hope you and your sweet family have a blessed day and weekend. Ty for all of your sweet encouragement
I would love to just see whatever your meal plan/grocery lists are for the week/month when you plan! Thank you so much for all of the work that you do!
Thanks for making crepes and German pancakes in real time. I am 75 and have never made either but I definitely want to try crepes. I think my hubby would like them. I like when you slow down and show what ingredients you are using and demonstrating what you are doing. When I cook rice, after it boils, I move the pot to the smallest gas burner, turn it to the lowest temperature and cook for 20 minutes with the lid on and then turn it off and let it set for 10 minutes. Perfect rice every time. I’ve made beans and rice in separate pots but I like this idea of cooking it together. I usually make beans and rice with leftover rice. I, too, cook black beans from package and freeze in one cup portions. It’s just me and my hubby. When I start cooking dinner, hubby comes out and says, “What can I do to help.” I love that and I always give him something real to do. He also jumps in and we clean up together. Retirement together is fantastic.
I should have mentioned that Shrove Tuesday was traditionally the time of using rich ingredients prior to start the strict fasting and giving up of rich foods for Lent. Pancake day in the U.K. is quite the fun day with races of women running to a finish line tossing a pancake in their frying pan as they go!!
Amy you totally changed my homelife. I‘m a mom of 4 from little Austria. Last year i got all your books and started to work with them in lockdown. It is so worth it! Also the few of me as a homemaker changed completely. Thank you a lot!
Amy, this is awesome. Please keep doing this. I love that you want to help all of us feed our families for less money. Sometimes you need someone to lead you to learn how to do something. I especially love how you added the Walmart shopping list. That is very helpful.
We never had syrup when I was growing up - nothing extra. My dad used to make me French toast then put a dab of butter on top, swirl it around till it melted then sprinkle a little sugar, mix it and voila, syrup!
I am so excited for this! Printing it off now, then shopping my pantry and freezers and putting in the Aldi grocery order. I can't wait to see how little I can spend for my family of 6. (Hubby and I are on track to be debt free at the end of the year and are being super frugal this year - gathering up ALL of our fragments!)
This was AMAZING! A great and very helpful idea. I would love to see more of this, maybe make it a series even. You have me wanting to try making crepes for my little family. So very useful, especially during this pandemic when supplies are still hard to come by and we need to ration what we do have to stretch.
Thank you so much for this video and the free downloads. It is so helpful! Meal planning is such a struggle for me and I have been praying about it. Thanks again!
One last thing, I think this is a wonderful idea! It helps me so much to be able to come up with dinner meals after getting burned out from the same meals over and over again! I have cooked so many meals you've shown ❤️
Wow , the first morning in a long long time I missed a Maryon vlog , and my day was not the same . Lol, Thank you Amy , for never missing putting up a vlog for us .You are such a special part of my life now and my day .God bless . Don't forget to tell your kiddos how much they are loved today everyone .
Dearest Amy, I absolutely adore you!! I watch you almost everyday. I believe it's been about 3 months I think now. I find that you remind me alot of myself, or at least the me that I would like to be!! Sadly my oldest boy is 32 years old and, he served 4 years in the Marines and been doing great at home since he's been out. My daughter is 19 years old, the love of my life!! She is at home with me still because she is disabled. I am 53 years old and sadly disabled also. My daughter has inherited a lot of her illnesses from myself and her father. I am also blessed with another son who is 17 years old. He also has inherited one of the illnesses but he is still able to function well and you would not know!! I always wanted more children but 3 is what GOD said!! I love too cook and bake. Not to shabby from what people say. My faith is great like yours. I wish I could find a way to share more about his love!!@ I think you ♥️ I am quite limited in what I can do. Anyway just wanted to let you know that I think you are absolutely adorable!!!! Thankyou!!
I like the way you plan your meals. Having a shopping list comes in handy. I enjoy trying the easy recipes. I love when you the voice over when going through your item list! Thank you for the closed caption feature it helps me. Blessings to you and your family🙏🌷🐬
Thank you so much. This is such a blessing. I’m planning meals for my family of five, which includes my mom (she’s immobile). I’m scheduled to have a hysterectomy on February 8th and want to make sure my family has either freezer meals that I’ve made or easy meals that my husband or daughter can prepare. I appreciate everything you do. Blessings to you and your family ❤️
Love watching your videos. This was great timing for me since I was planning out my meals for the next few weeks, but also using what was in my freezer and pantry up. Thanks for all the great recipes. Would love to see more like this.
I love the ideas that you give out. Is love more videos like this. I have my Mom, 2 and a half yo son and I. I sometimes don't know what to make for dinner. So more of these videos will be great! Thank you for always being so sweet and open about your life. Have a wonderful day! ❤️
Please do more of these. They are So helpful. THANK YOU!!!! Oh I ordered that Blow Dryer Brush thing that you use and I asked about other day. Can't wait to try it!!
Hi Amy, great video as always, also great idea to be able to download your free 2 week meal plan, which I will be doing. I live on my own, so loads of meals to share with my sister, whom also lives on her own. Keep doing what you do best and also keep making your meal plan's, as in these times everything helps. God bless you and your family. X
I love that you included all 7 days of the week in your plan. Most people don't. Also, when I was a little girl my aunt used to make pan sized pancakes and sprinkle them with white granulated sugar and lemon juice. We called them lemonade pancakes. Never knew anyone that did them like that since, but they were so good!! The rice and lentils or rice and black beans would be good in a leftover crepe or pancake with some salsa as well. Yay for a full menu plan!!
Hey Amy my husband is from Palestine and we make the lentils and rice every week. They call it mujadara. When it’s done we put a spoonful of plain Greek yogurt on top. So good.
I love free meal menu plan. Greate idea. It gives you allot of ideas when you find yourself board with your menu by now. I found some greate ideas that I can tweak to fit my family. ❣️
Thank you so much for this! I have been on a mission to cut my grocery bill and all your recipes sound amazing! I love simple but filling meals. I am a mom of 2 with one on the way and love feeding my family. I came from a big family and I was always amazed what my mom could come up with with just a few ingredients. I have yet to master that art yet but am on my way! :) Thank you again! Love watching your videos.
Thank you so much for all the tips and ideas. I love the large size jars of chicken beef and tomato bouillon, I had never seen those until you mentioned them in a different post! So much easier than trying to unwrap the cubes.
Hello Amy! I absolutely love your videos. I am a homemaker as well and it is such a joy to see someone who shares my love of homemaking. This video was amazing. I loved every minute of it. I would love if you did it again. I share your videos with a lot of women. Thank you so much for sharing freely how you care for your home. 💜💜. Many blessings to you and your family!!
If you don't want to mix fruit for the yogurt, just a strawberry jam (with or without chunks) will do fine. Put a layer of it on the bottom and cover it with the yogurt. Each spoonful you get (if you dip down to the bottom) will have a bit of the fruit/jam on it). It's a lot like they sell them. I eat "Skyr" these days, which is an Icelandic type yogurt (it tastes so nice and it has extra protein). They started selling that in my Lidl & Aldi recently. 59 cents a container (mixed with fruit), but they have the large tubs / plain ones too.
Thank you for taking the time to do this video. I love this, It helps me a great deal. I will be watching to see if you do another one. I enjoy your videos.
I love free menu plans and basically need anything free. I look so forward to seeing you in the morning. You help my mood and my day to overcome. Amy, thank you so much! Be very and ever-blessed.
Good morning, Amy and thank you sooooo much! I just got my Johnny apple seed machine and my grands are excited to "help" g'ma make jam and apple sauce. Their help is mainly eating the results lol. I'm excited to get all the fruit (I buy or pick in season then save it for winter when I want a warm house from the stove lol) I've got stored in my freezers out so I can put in more meat.
I think this is a genius idea! We have a household of two older folks, and a lot of us just don't eat as much as we once did. We are also of the opinion that we don't like lentils, but you made it look so good in the lentils and rice casserole. We are definitely going to be trying it. The thing is that if there is something on the menu that a person KNOWS no one will eat they can just substitute a meal that they like.....if it is using similar ingredients it really may not make much difference at all in the shopping or cost. I hope you do lots of these......now if my husband will just go get some printer ink! LOL Thanks, Amy!
Wow,what a bumper episode of making food that is the ultimate in low cost,nutritious and plentiful! Of course,after the epic haul from yesterday,I had to see this video. Extremely enjoyable for me and I would recommend this channel that’s packed full of food,shopping,cooking and homemaking ideas and also some really needed ,beautiful spiritual affirmation that really gives us an inside,outside boost 👌🙌🙏🏻💫
My mom would always make crepes for my birthday breakfast. She would fill them with fresh peaches mixed in a little sugar and top them with whipped cream. So good, and so many memories
I can’t thank you enough for this video ❤️😭 an for the print off..I have been struggling with this for years.. I’m a young mom of 4 an it’s been so hard.. I cry an cry when it comes to cooking and figuring out meals.. most of the time I will buy junk because I get so overwhelmed.. but this is awesome an helps a ton! Its amazing! Love you! I’m incredibly thankful for you.. I never really had parents in my life.. they were too busy for me.. so I wasn’t taught all this stuff.. you’re a hero in my life! With this an your advice you give.. You mean a ton to me! May God bless you! Love from Wisconsin When I watch your videos it feels like you’re the mom I never had.. you have changed my life with your videos ♥️ Hugs
Amy, that was a lot of work for you to write-out and I'm sure it will be a huge blessing to many. Thank you so much!
I love that you're being a mom for everyone in this video. This is valuable information for anyone, anywhere, at any age or walk of life! ❤️
Makes me smile ☺️

My mom too! It really works.
Yes Amy, I would love more menu plans that was great!!! I so can't wait to try it out.
for some reason whenever I watch her I just want to bawl my eyes out. Maybe because she reminds me of the mom we all wish we had in our lives.

Love the meal plan gives me good ideas of new meals to try - sadly as I'm in the UK no Walmart for me, but no worries I can figure out the shopping list :) thank you Amy for sharing all your excellent ideas x
I'm sorry .hope it can be altered
Lorna what is your big grocery store in the UK that most people shop at?
@@keelyguillot4184 I would say Tesco ,Asda or Sainsburys - all 3 have a pretty even share of the Market
Tesco would have the most comparable for Walmart there.
@@lornamcnutt8047 I can’t believe that the UK doesn’t have a Walmart since it’s an international company now.

I’ve done that on other videos when I heard the phone! Lol
It happens to me all the time when I am.watching videos and wearing headphones.
I love free meal plans. Love the readings at the end as well.
This was AMAZING! A great and very helpful idea. I would love to see more of this, maybe make it a series even. You have me wanting to try making crepes for my little family. So very useful, especially during this pandemic when supplies are still hard to come by and we need to ration what we do have to stretch.
Yes i agree ..I will do
Thank you so much for this video and the free downloads. It is so helpful! Meal planning is such a struggle for me and I have been praying about it. Thanks again!
I will definitely do more than
One last thing, I think this is a wonderful idea! It helps me so much to be able to come up with dinner meals after getting burned out from the same meals over and over again! I have cooked so many meals you've shown ❤️
I appreciate this
Wow , the first morning in a long long time I missed a Maryon vlog , and my day was not the same . Lol,
Thank you Amy , for never missing putting up a vlog for us .You are such a special part of my life now and my day .God bless .
Don't forget to tell your kiddos how much they are loved today everyone .
I will do thank you beverly
Dearest Amy, I absolutely adore you!! I watch you almost everyday. I believe it's been about 3 months I think now. I find that you remind me alot of myself, or at least the me that I would like to be!! Sadly my oldest boy is 32 years old and, he served 4 years in the Marines and been doing great at home since he's been out. My daughter is 19 years old, the love of my life!! She is at home with me still because she is disabled. I am 53 years old and sadly disabled also. My daughter has inherited a lot of her illnesses from myself and her father. I am also blessed with another son who is 17 years old. He also has inherited one of the illnesses but he is still able to function well and you would not know!! I always wanted more children but 3 is what GOD said!! I love too cook and bake. Not to shabby from what people say. My faith is great like yours. I wish I could find a way to share more about his love!!@ I think you ♥️ I am quite limited in what I can do. Anyway just wanted to let you know that I think you are absolutely adorable!!!! Thankyou!!
I'm so glad.you are here..so nice to meet you
I like the way you plan your meals. Having a shopping list comes in handy. I enjoy trying the easy recipes. I love when you the voice over when going through your item list! Thank you for the closed caption feature it helps me. Blessings to you and your family🙏🌷🐬
You are welcome thank you for this feedback
Thank you so much. This is such a blessing. I’m planning meals for my family of five, which includes my mom (she’s immobile). I’m scheduled to have a hysterectomy on February 8th and want to make sure my family has either freezer meals that I’ve made or easy meals that my husband or daughter can prepare. I appreciate everything you do. Blessings to you and your family ❤️
Praying for you. I'm glad to help in a small way
Love watching your videos. This was great timing for me since I was planning out my meals for the next few weeks, but also using what was in my freezer and pantry up. Thanks for all the great recipes. Would love to see more like this.
Okay will do :)
I love watching your videos!! Our kiddos use your homeschool curriculum every school day… you’re awesome! Thank you
Have a wonderful day 💗 thanks for sharing this
I love the ideas that you give out. Is love more videos like this. I have my Mom, 2 and a half yo son and I. I sometimes don't know what to make for dinner. So more of these videos will be great! Thank you for always being so sweet and open about your life. Have a wonderful day! ❤️
You are welcome
You read my mind I was looking for a meal plan to start the New Year off right. Thanks Amy 🥰
I LOVE Free menu plans. THANK YOU!!!
What a blessing 🙏
Please do more of these. They are So helpful. THANK YOU!!!!
Oh I ordered that Blow Dryer Brush thing that you use and I asked about other day. Can't wait to try it!!
You are gonna love it..takes a few times then you will wonder why you haven't had this your whole life :)
This was great! Appreciate the ideas and plan, can you do more ideas. Thank you, money is tight but want some good meals and these fit the budget.
Yes i can and will as i see it is well liked !
Hi Amy, great video as always, also great idea to be able to download your free 2 week meal plan, which I will be doing. I live on my own, so loads of meals to share with my sister, whom also lives on her own. Keep doing what you do best and also keep making your meal plan's, as in these times everything helps.
God bless you and your family. X
I will do this..thank you
I love that you included all 7 days of the week in your plan. Most people don't. Also, when I was a little girl my aunt used to make pan sized pancakes and sprinkle them with white granulated sugar and lemon juice. We called them lemonade pancakes. Never knew anyone that did them like that since, but they were so good!! The rice and lentils or rice and black beans would be good in a leftover crepe or pancake with some salsa as well. Yay for a full menu plan!!
Yes it would thank you for suggestions
Hey Amy my husband is from Palestine and we make the lentils and rice every week. They call it mujadara. When it’s done we put a spoonful of plain Greek yogurt on top. So good.
Yummy
Thank you Amy for all your hard work!! I would definitely like another video just like this one! Excited to try the recipes 😊
I love free meal menu plan. Greate idea. It gives you allot of ideas when you find yourself board with your menu by now. I found some greate ideas that I can tweak to fit my family. ❣️
Thank you so much for this! I have been on a mission to cut my grocery bill and all your recipes sound amazing! I love simple but filling meals. I am a mom of 2 with one on the way and love feeding my family. I came from a big family and I was always amazed what my mom could come up with with just a few ingredients. I have yet to master that art yet but am on my way! :) Thank you again! Love watching your videos.
Makes me smile. Congratulations to you
Thank you so much for all the tips and ideas. I love the large size jars of chicken beef and tomato bouillon, I had never seen those until you mentioned them in a different post! So much easier than trying to unwrap the cubes.
Not only do I love the meal plans, but I also appreciate it!
Thank you
No, thank you!
Hello Amy! I absolutely love your videos. I am a homemaker as well and it is such a joy to see someone who shares my love of homemaking. This video was amazing. I loved every minute of it. I would love if you did it again. I share your videos with a lot of women. Thank you so much for sharing freely how you care for your home. 💜💜. Many blessings to you and your family!!
I will definitely do more thank you for this
Definitely loved this video. Very helpful plan to feed the family. Thanks!
You are welcome
If you don't want to mix fruit for the yogurt, just a strawberry jam (with or without chunks) will do fine. Put a layer of it on the bottom and cover it with the yogurt. Each spoonful you get (if you dip down to the bottom) will have a bit of the fruit/jam on it). It's a lot like they sell them. I eat "Skyr" these days, which is an Icelandic type yogurt (it tastes so nice and it has extra protein). They started selling that in my Lidl & Aldi recently. 59 cents a container (mixed with fruit), but they have the large tubs / plain ones too.
Thank you for taking the time to do this video. I love this, It helps me a great deal. I will be watching to see if you do another one. I enjoy your videos.
You are such a blessing Amy. God shines through you.
Thank you for your kindness
I love free menu plans and basically need anything free. I look so forward to seeing you in the morning. You help my mood and my day to overcome. Amy, thank you so much! Be very and ever-blessed.
You are welcome
Good morning, Amy and thank you sooooo much! I just got my Johnny apple seed machine and my grands are excited to "help" g'ma make jam and apple sauce. Their help is mainly eating the results lol. I'm excited to get all the fruit (I buy or pick in season then save it for winter when I want a warm house from the stove lol) I've got stored in my freezers out so I can put in more meat.
I love that 💓
Thankyou Thankyou so much for taking the time to help us all. Very wonderful special lady 💙💙
So so many great ideas for a budget. I am going to use several of these recipes. Thank you.
Welcome 😀
Amy I love to listen till the end that is my favorite part God bless you
Me too 😊
Thank you for the free meal plan! That was very nice of you! 💕
Gd morning i love watching yall every day..and yes i love the meal plan and seeing u make all the food for your family too💖
Thank you Amy! I enjoy watching your videos! Very helpful!
I think this is a genius idea! We have a household of two older folks, and a lot of us just don't eat as much as we once did. We are also of the opinion that we don't like lentils, but you made it look so good in the lentils and rice casserole. We are definitely going to be trying it. The thing is that if there is something on the menu that a person KNOWS no one will eat they can just substitute a meal that they like.....if it is using similar ingredients it really may not make much difference at all in the shopping or cost. I hope you do lots of these......now if my husband will just go get some printer ink! LOL Thanks, Amy!
You are welcome. I will definitely do more of these . Thanks for feedback
Thank you for your generosity. I live in social security and this will help me so much with food prices raising
I'm glad to help
Wow,what a bumper episode of making food that is the ultimate in low cost,nutritious and plentiful!
Of course,after the epic haul from yesterday,I had to see this video.
Extremely enjoyable for me and I would recommend this channel that’s packed full of food,shopping,cooking and homemaking ideas and also some really needed ,beautiful spiritual affirmation that really gives us an inside,outside boost 👌🙌🙏🏻💫
I thank you for your kind words 💗
@@amymaryon it’s all true and from the heart dear Amy x
