you are so mothery, and that is so sweet when u said u worried about all children. i know you look tough and all but when you said that ur such a sweet heart and caring it really touched me. that little statement just say alot about what a wonderful human being you are. Thank you for being u :)
Great food ideas, loving everything about your style. Makes me proud to be American. Thank you so much for showing this perfect blend of tradition and modernity.
This is not just for picnics. It can be used for long trips, pot lucks, take for Thanksgiving! I would even take it to work instead od sticking it in the company's fridge. Thanks for sharing! 😊 ☕
This video was made 10 years again but her personality is the best and she so relatable literally love her 😂👏🏻💚✨ Also I know the wooden baskets are cute but if you have a big family you or like to pack lots of stuff I think it’s safe to say that it’s better to go with something useful rather than trying to look cute! 😂🙏🏻✨ Literally glad I accidentally clicked on this video 😂💜✨
I liked your video!! It´s very creative. I liked the metro bag, the bugs repellant candle is a good idea. I liked how you made the fruits that will be fun for the kids! I will watching you more. Thank you for sharing your ideas!
6 people need to get a metro picnic basket and go enjoy the outside! I love your vids, oh and I am trying those home made cheez it's this weekend! I cant wait!
Thank you SOOOOOOO much. Gurlllllllllll you had me rolling. Hubby asked if I was looking at comedy. Lol thanks again off to a picnic tomorrow here in b Atlanta
Gotta love homemade chips. I like to make sweet onion. All you need for those is onion powder, powdered sugar (it sticks better than granulated sugar) and kosher salt :).
you are a genius, my dear! you make sure you have everything and its so nice and neat. your family will be well fed. you are definitely on my "how to be a good wife, mom, and friend" list. thanks for being such a great inspiration Ms. Monique!
You r such an inspiration...I work full time and a lot of my "cooking" involves picking up the phone and ordering something or stopping thru a drive thru but you are inspiring me to really start preparing dinners again!
Love this!! Was planning a picnic for my bf and i's 4yr anni but decided not too because I decided it would be too much trouble. Now we def will! 10/12 Stone Mountain Park, here we come!!
I'm reading ur post from ur subscriber's n I would b n teats of I were u! I just like them an too very much in love with ur way about things. Keep it up and I thank u for all of us huntey!
Thank you so much for this video. I can't really say I have ever had a "REAL" picnic. But now I definately know what to pack up if I ever do go. And let me tell you I am loving that basket. It looks kinda small but you just kept pulling stuff out left and right, totally getting one! Hope you guys had an awesome picnic!....Ohhh and I made Isaac's rice krispy treats for a bachelorette party this weekend....everyone loved them! :)
Girlllllllllll I am right with you about those bugs! I will be the one who will strip and be standing butt naked in the parking lot if a bug gets on me! lol I love all your picnic ideas and here's one tip I'd like to add: if your picnic is truly spur of the moment and you don't have time to throw food together throw the blanket/bug spray in the basket and stop by Subway for some sandwiches on the way to the park! =)
I was just Googling this past week how to pack a picnic basket and was coming up empty! None would actually SHOW ME how to pack since I'd never been on one before. Now I know I need a special blanket AND I'm looking for that basket, too on Craigslist, even though the retail price is not that bad. I appreciate seeing the natural bug sprays too because I hate spraying myself with OFF I feel like I'm poisoning myself! Thank you so much for these tips, and you are just too cute!!
Thank you! That was really helpful. I was all set to go out and buy a set of tinware which I probably would not use twice. Finger food! That's the way to go.
you made me laugh. you made my day. i accidentely opened your vid. and i felt like i was there with you and like i was going on a picnic with you. i like you and your vid a lot!!!! now i wanna go to a picnic!!!
@delanabmanning Hmmm...not sure. I've never been able to wear any type of ring for more than a few hours so I only wear my bands when I go out. Sucks because I love rings : (
I could totally relate, because I love rings also, but it seems like they just get in the way. People wonder why I rarely wear mine, at least you wear your bands...I usually don't even wear those either...Maybeee once a month, I'll throw my rings on.
I just discovered you today, and I love your personality! My 7 year old son even watched with me, and requested your Japanese Hot Pot recipe. Trying it out tonight.
Thanks for sharing this vid. I like the idea of going on a picnic w/ my hubby but I can't deal with the bugs and bees and wasps and mosquitos..UGH! Girl I will freak out and act a fool as grown as I am. Like your idea of the homemade herb chips. They sound pretty good. Im sure you all had a good time!
You are adoreable! I just found you on RUclips, and so glad I did! I've already printed 3 of your recipes, and can't stop watching your videos. I've also subscribed to your blog. Great, easy, quick, fun recipes and ideas. I love simple and easy recipes.Thanks for sharing and please keep up the great work! :)
This video is right on time! I was just telling hubby I want to go on a picnic. Thanks for sharing girl! I'll definitely have to check out ebay for a metro picnic basket.
Good vid~ I am a new subscriber and I just wanted to stop by and let you know I am sooooo happy I found your channel!! Luv your vids! Keep doing what you are doing girl! Im trying the Kiwi-Pops this weekend :D Thank You...
Bugs are the number 2 reason why I can't stand summer. Always flying on somebody, YUCK!!! Love the video. Let us know when you try the Wild Berry Shake from Wendy's, its delish!!!
I HATE BUGS!! I am going on a picnic with my friends and its good to know that there are people out there that are like me and pack a lot of bug stuff...XD
I wish I would have seen this earlier. I am taking my BF on his first picnic this Saturday. I thought about buying the metro bag and I didn't. I may just purchase it. I still have to get a picnic blanket though.
I'am trying my best to listen i can't with you...😂😂😂😂 either a southern born/ city life! Blessings ❤️. I love you my along with my oldest (2) daughter's so wise, smart and sweet/ comical!!!
Lol @ your side bars....I do the same thing, I'll be talking about one thing and get distracted and start talking about something else. It drives my husband crazy!
who knew that basket could hold that much.. im wondering is the chicken wrap recipe on your blog....i need to try the wraps for my 18 month old son. your sooo right that toddler boys need extra clothes.
I loved this vid!! That picnic basket is amazing I need one! I have a traditional one that has become a shopping bag holder. I hope you do a vid on the chips!
Good video! These tips will also come in handy for tailgating at the ballgames since football season will be starting soon. Btw, I love the heart necklace you're wearing! Where'd you get it?
I'm in stitches..."Oh girl! Why u so shiny" where did she grab that make up from🤔😂.
Loving the humour

Glad to see someone like me with the bug spray, insect repellent, and first-aid kit with Campho-phenique! That stuff works great!
Gotta love homemade chips. I like to make sweet onion. All you need for those is onion powder, powdered sugar (it sticks better than granulated sugar) and kosher salt :).
Girl you so funny you should have your own cooking show
Omg that's a lot in a small bag. I didn't think it could hold that much. I need one now
