A landscape designer I once knew told me we have to not plant just for ourselves but for the animals/wildlife too-- I never forgot that.
❤ this
When I finally adopted the saying "progress not perfection" my life was a lot happier! :)
Practice makes progress! ☺️
We had it hired because my husband has extremely bad gout so he isn’t able to get on ladders and my vertigo prevents me from getting on ladders. This is why we hired it out everything else we have done on our own we turned a 3bedroom/1bath into a 6bedroom/3 bath. So it’s not about us wanting it to be perfect!
This is so true!
Yeesssss!!! I am doing renovations as well, and whew! It's a lot of work! I think a project should take an hour, but end up being 2 hours... 😂..but "PROGRESS" is certainly being made! Great job, Becky and Josh, it's looking great!!!
“Done is better than perfect” I really REALLY needed to hear this today. Really appreciated hearing you talk about real little daily life struggles and how to be kind to yourself throughout it :)
I'm with you here!!!
I need a sign to hang in my house as a reminder!
I agree too!!
You two are a power team with your complimentary skills & personality types! I love it when a couple can leverage this to get things done & succeed vs being upset that the other person isn’t more like them lol. You & Josh are such a joy to watch; I wish you nothing but success in you new dream homestead 🥰
EXACTLY how I feel
Agree. God bless you with many more happy days together
Becky, I’ve been watching you and subscribed to your channel Just want you to know, I love you because I’m 80 yrs old, and watching you has motivated me with your videos and giving me an inspiration to me. I just lost my 89 yr old husband and you have given me the desire to keep going. God bless you and Josh. Congratulations on your new home. Lots of love and blessings to you both👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🌼🌼
I just want to hug you! What a lovely lady you are!
❤🙏🏻❤🙏🏻❤🙏🏻❤🙏🏻❤
Beth
@@eer4465 thank you Beth
I'm with you on that Rosemary I lost my husband 7 years ago and just enjoy seeing Becky and Josh work together making there dream.🙏👍
What a lovely gracious lady you are❤️. Sending Irish hugs to you from England 🇬🇧☘️💐💐💐💐🥰🥰
Thank you Molly for your compliment, from Chicago, Illinois. Have a blessed day.🥰🥰🙏🏻👍👍🌹❤️
Hi Becky, put pinwheels in your garden and it will help keep moles the moles out. They do not like the vibration in the ground when the pinwheels start going from the wind! I usually get mine at Dollar Tree. It has worked for me over the years! Have a great day! Love your videos!!👍😊🙏
What a wonderful, cheap solution! Just genius; makes me (almost🤪) want to be able to garden again! (I'm 78 and live in a retirement community so not an option.) My patio faces north so only get sun am and pm. Anybody have suggestions of any kind of veggie or flower would grow well here?
Bye the way have you ever noticed that only two types of people mention their age a lot? Kids and Elders! We are both so proud of our age. In-betweens not so much;)
@@kayerin5749 I recently purchased a greenstalk planter and have it on my back patio facing north. I’m in Texas so my tomatoes are struggling with the heat but my cucumbers and peppers are thriving.
Oh I have moles all over my yard
Or get a cat! I had no idea I had a mole problem until my neighbors cat (that adopted me for some reason) started leaving them at my door 😬 sometimes 2 or 3 a day! I've also read that cats will bring you their dead catch because they think you're to stupid to hunt for yourself so I'm just greatfull either way....😄
@@melissajohnson2935 cat brings them a gift because they want you to see how great they are at hunting, kind of like a pride thing to their owners.
My Gandpa used to say "plant enough for your family, your neighbors and the animals" Then you will have enough when someone else needs and when you want and need as well as when the wild critters eat your food.
Wow. As much as I enjoy your videos, Becky, I really REALLY needed to hear your message (around the 11-12 minute mark) about making baby steps towards progress. I've been struggling this year with both medical issues, after a really bad fall, as well as grief since I lost my sister in March--who was also my BFF and the last of my immediate family. I make lists, then don't complete them, and then feel guilt and failure and then the next day I have even more to do because stuff was undone. .Lather. Rinse. Repeat. A friend told me to just do the one thing each day that causes me the most grief...so I've been doing that. It does feel as though I'm making forward progress (book shelves are getting built and laundry is getting done and meals are being prepped). Am I racing to the finish line? Nope...but those small wins ARE making a positive difference to my psyche...and to my home.
Thanks for embracing transparency and candor and being so strong that you can share your vulnerabilities. That makes as much difference in a life as knocking out 20 freezer meals. :)
❤🙏🏻❤🙏🏻❤🙏🏻❤🙏🏻❤🙏🏻❤🙏🏻...😌
My deepest condolences on the loss of your sister, grief can make even simple tasks insurmountable on bad days. I know. I try to do the 'just do 1 thing a day' thing to. Sometimes I get more done, sometimes I don't even achieve that 1 thing, but I have learnt that that is OK. Be kind to yourself.
"Done is better than perfect." I REALLY needed to hear this today, so thank you for sharing such heartfelt positivity and motivation.
Everything that’s worth doing is worth doing BADLY! This helped me so much! A kitchen that has been cleaned a bit is better than a not cleaned kitchen, one load of laundry is better than none… energy sometimes comes when doing things and one load of laundry might turn into 5! 🤷🏻♀️
The key is doing your best at a particular moment. Your best on a different day may be better or worse than your best today. I let go of perfection and opted for doing my due diligence and if I can do more at that moment, I will.
If you put UV screens on the outside of the windows, it should reduce the amount of heat and you’ll still have your view. 🙂 They’re really popular here in Texas because it’s so hot.
We tint our windows .. Easy and it's so helpful UV..Heat
That's a always a good idea, and the best part is it will not harm the plants if you decide to use that room as a "greenhouse." Red and blue light, what plants need, still gets through while blocking harmful and floor/furniture fading uv rays.
Came for the food ideas, stayed for the garden inspo and delighted by the home renovation! This is an awesome channel by an awesome woman
such a blessing to hear Josh whistling...you two are so sweet and hardworking. Thanks for sharing! I know it takes a lot of time to record and edit your videos. 'you make a mess, you clean a mess'....that is definitely a huge part of life! Blessings to you both.
The foam that says it's for windows and doors are made to not expand as much and will not bow your frames so both cans you bought were the right foam for the job. For future reference if you use a break-a-way bladed knife that can be fully extend it will cut the foam like butter! Total game changer! You can find the knives in the paint department at any hardware store or at any paint supply store. Hope that helps!
A serrated steak knife also works, it’s what we’ve always used over the years.
Helps me thank you :)
Yep, I always freeze all the croissants and pull them out as I need them. They cone back like fresh. 🤗
Good to know! Thanks!
@@jnmMom3 indeed. With prices what they are..ate...
I also do it for loaf bread too. When bread is on sale, I buy multiple loaves. I squeeze out as much air as i can and wrap them in plastic wrap really good. You could pull it out 2 weeks later and it will be soft and fresh. 👍🏽🤗
I do that with all bread. Takes minutes to defrost and is as good as the hour baked. You never want to leave bread out or refrigerate it. It dries it out or molds.
Over time I’ve thrown away more breads and rolls; each time I went to make something with a bread they were moldy! I then started to first rebag in zip locks and put them in the freezer as soon as I got home from the grocery store. Haven’t thrown any moldy bread since then!
Costco croissants 🥐 for 1.5min in the air fryer 😋 it’s A game changer 👌
My little 18 month old doesn’t usually sit still long enough to watch anything with me, but your videos are special. Makes me happy to share something like this with her. She’s going to be watching us build our own dream homestead within the next couple years as well 🥰
🤗💗
My four year old loves watching Becky with me. She is so excited for the baby to come. Had to explain it will be a bit yet. Lol
I moved from a 2,500 sq ft house to two houses (we bought two to renovate simultaneously) and at one point I just 'couldn't any more' with the small stuff - BUT - I understand TOTALLY when you noted "I spent money to buy this firewood, and I don't want to leave it behind!" - I am with ya gal!
This is my favorite channel to relax and decompress, and having these videos every other day is so cool. I especially love cooking videos, but it's just your genuine personality that is responsible for this success, I think.
Thank you and all the best from Poland!
She has quickly became my favorite channel! I love her knowledge and her positive attitude. Seems like everyone is so down and doom these days. But she is so inspiring
Dzien dobry!
I watch it while I knit socks and t-shirts
I absolutely LOVE the compliments. "That looks great Josh" "Thank you" :)
Thoughts from a person who just put in a new kitchen in my new home. Put in 2 dishwashers when you renovate. It doesn’t cost much more but it’s life changing for big cooks. One gets filled, turn it on and then start loading the next one. You have the space. This is the second kitchen i have done it in and i will never regret it.
Love the show
Bec
Oh yes 2 dishwashers are better than 2 oven! I have had kitchens in both configurations. If only I could have both. Diswashing has 3 options, hand, machine, trash.
Oven you have multiple cooking options even bringing the pan to be cooked over someone elses home- not so with dishes!
2 diswashers are a game changer!
SMART!!!
Hi Becky
I am a retired empty nester and I terribly miss having people to cook for and with!.
I love watching your show so much!! I make tv dinners, freezer meals for myself and trying a small garden.
You are just charming, funny and interesting. Thanks for the fun
Same here...miss cooking for people but love watching becky im always inspired.
Is there in your area a possibility to share a cooking group? The benefit is to meet new people or to cook for your neighbours ? Wish you the best😀
Because of u I have come out of my comfort zone and I’m going full on raised garden beds and doing make ahead freezer meals ! I am disabled and I can’t do a whole lot of heavy lifting but my husband made me some raised garden cubes out of old good grade pallets and now I have a bunch of tomatoes, zucchini, broccoli, cucumbers, green peppers and then I have two smaller flower pots that are my herb gardens! Im drying my own oregano, basil, dill, parsley, thyme and chives ! Watching u and ur gardens and houses it’s amazing ! Keep up the great work! Your friend from south west Ohio
I love that you give yourself grace to work on dishes as time allows. I have a lot more time than you do but I have always had a messy kitchen until about 6 months ago. I had a bad habit of putting off cleaning up until one day I just said enough. I cleaned out my cupboards and made one big space for large appliances used infrequently, got rid of stuff I didn't use at all and downsized my bowl and storage containers to items I use weekly. I would rather wash frequently than have them hog up space. I wash bowls and utensils as I cook . I run the dishwasher in the morning after breakfast so day use and dinner plates have a place to go. Usually I don't have any dishes to face after dinner or breakfast except to put dried ones away and dirty plates, cups and eating utensils in the dishwasher. I always wipe and clean my counters with water and vinegar as I go so I don't have to worry about chemicals contaminating my food while cooking. Also when I come into the kitchen if I see something on the that needs to be done my new motto is "if you see something that needs to be done, you can't unsee it, do it then." Has been a game changer for my mental health lol. Also I got a robotic vacuum cleaner to clean my floors. BIG time game changer. You have been a big inspiration for me, thank you for your videos!
great you can fiit large appliances in your cupboards. Here the cupboards are so tiny you can't even fit your kettle in if you want to. I ended up buying loads of shelves coz what 'housing' here provides as cupboards doesn't work. Even a bottle of oil won't fit. Yea believe housing...
My chickens got quinoa muffins this morning. They were rally racing with the cranberries in their mouth 🤣
Becky you totally missing out in nasturtium pesto & flower salad toppers! The flowers are spicy and you will LOVE them! Pop a flower and a pea pod in your mouth and it will be heaven🥰🥰
I say something similar to “done is better than perfect”. I always tell myself “it doesn’t need to be perfect, just better than it was”. And that really helps with the overwhelm of the mess sometimes!
So nice that you made the conversion to C° Becky, bc everytime that you mention temperature I think "omg how is she still alive??" 🤣 🤣
"Don't let perfection become the enemy of progress". = ) Also, it's best to not stack fire wood near your home structure. Pests, fire hazard, etc.
I agree. I know living in the South, termites and carpenter ants love to live in the wood and eventually your home.
Mice!!!
Spiders!!
Mildew... Rot... 🙄

Yes you can buy a sheller for your peas. But you will miss a very big opportunity for great conversation and memory making! I have very fond memories of sitting on the front porch swing with my mamaw shelling purple hulls by hand! To this day, it is very relaxing to me to just rock on my porch with a big bowl of fresh purple hulls and just shell away. Remembering my fun times with her! If you choose to let them dry on the vine, a simple trick is to put them all in a garbage bag and beat them with a broom. All the peas separate from the shells and fall to the bottom. My 80yo father inlaw taught me that trick! And I have growers' anxiety too! And this is my third year as well!! Thank you for reminding that it's all in God's plan!
I envy your temperatures. It's 107° with a heat index of 110° here in Central Texas at the moment. On a positive note, after you did some of your dishes I paused the video to go get more tea, and you inspired me to wash two bowls I had used this morning. :-)
I lived in Portland for 12 yrs and then moved to Louisiana. I have been in Louisiana for 20 yrs and I still can't tolerate the heat and humidity.
@@julieneises8851 I've lived in Texas all my life, a little over half a century, and hate Texas summers more every year. The humidity is a little better up here in Central Texas than it is South East of Houston where I was born and raised. Many of my relatives are in Louisiana. The humidity is really rough there.
So excited to watch this new video!!!
Thank you for uploading ❤️
Edit: I love how you're just eating all of the strawberries 😂
Something done badly ist better than not at all! One load of laundry is better than none etc! 💪🏻
…AND all the peas 🤣🤣
@@petpawteek8776 lol true
I really like how you roll with change of plans! You don’t let it get you down but find other tasks to do to stay productive! Thank you for being so cheerful and positive! You brighten our day!
It made me so happy when you said you was ok sharing your garden with the bunnies. God bless you and your family.
It was always such fun sitting and shelling purple hull peas with my grandmother and mother. They would buy them by the bushel from the local farmer. We'd spend the afternoon sitting in front of a fan, just visiting and shelling peas. Lots of problems were solved during those pea shelling sessions. I was just a kid, but have great memories of this activity.
Love love love these videos! Way more entertaining than anything on TV in the genre. Becki, your narration is a joy. You and Josh are sure going to have a gorgeous new homestead ❤❤
I love your attitude toward the bunnies. We have to learn to share, especially when there’s enough to go around!
I grew up with shelling peas. I completely understand where you are coming from but I had some wonderful memories getting to know my Great Aunt, my Grandma and Mom shelling peas together. We would sit in a circle on the porch and we talked, laughed and sang.
Hello Becky. Great update. It's looking better and better each video. Love seeing the progress. Wow, those doors take a long time to come in. Good thing you ordered those first! Tfs nave a wonderful week and sending Cali love. 🌞👍
I'm LOVING the longer videos! I clean to your videos and TIME FLIES ❤
Please do not give your girls moldy food! It can be toxic.. One of the most common illnesses it can cause in chickens is mycotoxicosis. The most common symptoms include diarrhea or weight loss, leading to very underweight chickens.
Love the trim!!!
I came here to say this! Thanks for posting. I hope she sees it!
I was wondering about this, thanks for commenting.
Yes. I came to say this as well. Also sugary foods like cake really aren’t good for them either, but especially the mold. They can get very sick. I hope she sees this! Love Becky and her content! We are just trying to help! 💚
@@underthemusicaltree She is so enthusiastic and motivated to learn, I just love her. Reminds me of me when I was young!! She motivates me all over again!!! :)
@@sandrab4394 same! I love her so much! She has really motivated me to do so much for our family!
You should take pix of your garden when it is in full bloom so you can use them for your real estate listing when you decide to sell. Gorgeous!!
We are just beginning our homesteading journey; thanks for sharing your knowledge and encouragement.
I love shelling peas. I've shelled purple hull peas all day & loved it, plus I had a ton of peas preserved for future meals.
17:43 Seeing you so positive about plants that size makes me feel better about my garden. First year, and i have had a very rough start, but i am still hopefull, and greatfull for what is growing 😊
Absolutely beautiful! I can't wait to see it fully done!
Thank you so much for sharing Becky! You are such an inspiration! 🤍🤍🤍🤍
I really enjoy watching the progress! I get excited when I see that you have posted another video! Thanks for bringing us along! 😊 Regina
I've been watching for about 2 weeks now. I love the cooking and harvesting content, but I also love to see your cleaning and other chores! It's so fun to clean my house with you haha
I truly love your energy and appreciation for life and the simple blessings of life! Your smile and attitude is so incredibly inspiring!! Thank you 💕💕
Love watching your house renovation! Love the window trim! Beautiful
No! I couldn't endure the sound of the styrofoam, nails on a chalkboard! You guys are doing such an incredible job of making this house your home. Best wishes for Becky and Josh, Debbie.
🙏💕 So happy to see Becky!!!! You’re spoiling us.
Completely agree done is definitely better than perfect. The house is really coming along nicely. Love all the updates on the garden and house.
the excitement you 2 show is so exhilerating , cant wait to see what you do in the garden , thanx for always sharing
It’s so nice to see a couple who supports and respects their spouse. You two work so well together finding each other’s weaknesses and each others strengths. I wish you both all the love and happiness this life has to offer.
Love the longer videos!!
My favorite channel on RUclips. I look forward to seeing you and Josh's progress on your forever home. Love your puppies
They brighten my day!!
God Bless you all!!
Love from Little farming village Brandonville Pennsylvania!
You're so inspiring and motivational! Thank you for sharing with us, I'm sure filming ads to your work but there you are just powering through. So awesome to see in this day
Hello Becky, You are so inspiring and full of energy!! There are some days I just don't want to do anything and I watch your video and see all your energy and what you accomplish and it inspires me to get moving! Thanks for sharing all your tips!
Becky I look forward to all your new videos. I hope you continue to find peace and happiness in your new adventures. Keep up the great work and wonderful content.
Nice compliments to each other! You make an amazing couple. Love & Blessings from Fla.
Hello Becky Thank you for sharing your vlog much appreciated by us all xxxx ❤️
Totally agree with ya for sure on no curtains in the sun room! Trim is gorgeous and it’s really a pretty view!
I really admire how you and Josh can work together so easily. Not all married people can do that. It is so nice to have a perfectionist when you are doing work on your house. Nails on a chalkboard. What a wonderful job you guys are doing.
Josh, that looks amazing! You two are a GREAT TEAM! ♥️♥️
I really love all the home Reno content! Thank you for sharing! 🌺🌺
Thank you for your videos, inspiration & honesty! Love your adventures, the garden, the chickens & it’s gonna be ok attitude! Love the new home & including all of us on your journey!
Oh, so much wisdom to sew on samplers, and all from one little chat in the kitchen!
You have such a beautiful heart, Becky ~ thank you for sharing yourself with us all!
God bless you and Josh, always!
❤🙏🏻❤🙏🏻❤🙏🏻❤🙏🏻❤

Since it has been around 100 degrees in Southern Missouri, seeing you in a jacket in the garden looks so wonderful!! Enjoy your VLOG.
I was just thinking that. It still feels like 107 (actually 99) and it's 8:30, here in Texas.
I was thinking the same thing too. It was in the 90s here today in south central Missouri and seeing Becky in long sleeves, I'm like OMGosh I'm sweating just watching, lol. At least it isn't in the 100s now.
I know... I'm so jealous as I sit here sweltering in Texas where they are making us even hotter with rolling blackouts to conserve energy. Just wild to see her in a hoodie in July.
I love watching the renovations on the new house,your passion for gardening is lovely to see,thanks Becky 💜
Thanks Becky for the Celsius conversion ,really appreciate it !
Hey Becky, looking forward to this video. Have a wonderful week
Your gardens gorgeous 😍, I can't wait to see the sun room finished. You & Josh are a great team ❤️
Cheers to you and Josh. The trim is gorgeous. Love your videos.
You have such a good attitude about gardening! As a new gardener, this is the pep talk I needed!
Thanks for taking us along on your journey! Just before I sat down to watch this video, I spent a little time in my garden...weeds, Japanese beetles, and deer can make me discouraged but then looking at healthy looking tomato plants, green beans in flower and a zucchini ready to harvest can certainly help!
The progress you're making is awesome. I think the sound of the dried foam would make me crazy. lol. And Josh,... you are doing an excellent job on your trim!!
this whole video is satisfying lol
Thanks for taking the time to include us!
The trim in the living room looks amazing!!! Love the detail! Great job you guys!
It’s my birthday today, and what better way to spend it than to watch Becky & Josh living their best lives and sharing it with us. I get insanely happy when a new video appears - it really makes my day. Thanks you two ♥️❤️
Becky, I remember when the dogs were running through the grass and my first thought was, “Oh no what about ticks!” So glad they’re few and far between.
You guys are doing awesome! It's amazing to be able to watch you both ànd see all that you have accomplished! Thank you for sharing it all!
I am so enjoying the reno! And I love the phrase "Progress not perfection". You are an inspiration, such a hard worker.
Spoiling us with all the uploads! So happy for you both with how timing stuff has worked out. Full time RUclips transition then huge changes for your garden/chickens, and now the new house and time to work on it. Congrats on all of the amazing accomplishments! Also, everytime you talk about weeds or things going to seeds or food waste I am always over here thinking how lucky your chickens are with getting so much yummy stuff lol
Sugarsnap peas are the best. I am enjoying your new house updates. Love seeing the garden harvests too. That insulation foam works great just don't get on hands or flooring. A bread knife works well for cutting.
I Enjoy ur videos. It’s wonderful to see how bountiful ur garden is and how passionate about it, ur. I really love seeing u prep freezer meals. I have made a lot of them. Thanks For taking the time to show us. Can’t wait to see your new house all done it’s going to look beautiful. Tell Josh you can tell he is a perfectionist, and that’s a great thing to be.
Wow that trim looks absolutely beautiful. Awesome job to the both of you!
I didn’t know you should let foam dry before cutting it so I learned something new today! Thanks Josh!
I just love you and your outlook on life, you make me laugh and have learned so much from you. Also love you hair!
I love watching the progress. You two are doing an amazing job.
I love how you said you are having to learn from all of this. So many of us struggle with the whole picture and being flexible. I enjoy watching the two of work together...what a team!
Morning Becky, listening to you brought back my memories of growing peas. I had never grown peas & I picked reg peas,started eating it (yuk) I thought I picked it to early. Waited & tried again- it didn't change the uneatable aspect of it. I had planned to grow more then you explained how little I would get. Thank you I'm going to do same as you. While you were eating the strawberries it brought back fun memories of eating veggies in garden when mom sent me out to pick produce. Yuuumy best way to eat them. Have a great productive day. I love watching your videos. You are an amazing woman- you still teach me lots. Thank you- God bless you from grandma Katie in Oregon
When I was little we had a garden and we would take twists of wax paper filled with salt and go pick tomatoes and eat them right there, sun warmed, and bursting with flavor! And in those years, (40's and 50's) no fear of pesticides.
Alright you motivated me! I sat down to watch this and you were washing dishes so I dragged my butt to my kitchen. Our well is currently being treated because it's contaminated (pro tip since your moving to a house with a well, test it yearly...) Sooo we're using water in jugs from the neighbors and I just didn't want to deal with my mountain of dishes. But I made a dent into the work while listening to this video and then I'm just gonna give myself some grace ❤️❤️❤️.
Really enjoy watching your videos. So happy you are bringing us along on your new house. In my younger days I was able to do alot of what you are doing but now in my 60s and disabled what I can do but throughly enjoy watching you guys. God bless you and your family.
You guys are absolutely amazing. Such attention to details. I would so love to get my hands on that garden .I bet the salads are amazing. Blessings.
Thank you Becky for your positive uplifting words! It's a reminder of Gods gift to us that none of us are perfect and never will be and yet He has given us His unconditional love and grace! I so appreciate your transparency with your videos, showing us real life with real mishaps and mistakes and reminding yourself and us at the time to laugh at ourselves or just say "it's o.k"! Many blessings to you and Josh with your new home and journey and I'm so glad that you're taking us along with you!😊❤️🙏
Hey everyone. Have an awesome sauce rest of the day 🤗
You as well Lisa
You too!🤗
Sooo satisfying! Also, love the Dunder Mifflin shirt! Great work!!
Love watching you harvest! I’m watching while recovering from wisdom teeth removal! Congratulations on your new beautiful home I love it what a blessing.
Not sure why they would take down the drywall to refinish it? We had moved into home like that and were able to mud over, sand then paint..never had to rip anything out..
Yep the contractor suppressor a ride
That’s what I was thinking. We just had all our old water lines in our house replaced and they had to cut holes in the drywall everywhere there was a joint. We put patches in and I’ve been working on smoothing on drywall mud in a way where you can’t tell there was a patch. It’s a lot of work, and usually takes at least 2-3 layers, but it would have been more costly to completely re-do all the walls.
About the shelling Peas, my moms taught me that there is a membrane inside of the pods that can be taken off, and once removed the pots become really tender and nice to eat. I'm from Denmark so not sure if we have the same types of shelling peas, but it is worth a try!
My goodness! He did such a great job!! It looks beautiful! You guys ARE a really great team! 👍
Your home is really coming along, well done on your progress, remember to also rest! Xx
That is so so true. It is so easy to get caught up in making progress and ‘getting it done’ that you forget to take time for yourself but I find the job will be done much better if you take time out to rest occasionally. If you continually push on to ‘get it done’ you may find that the progress made is not quite as good as you would like it to be and you can be disappointed with it later.
