Hi there! 40-60” for width and 50-70” for length is what my online search says. I’d probably go with something in the middle range, slightly larger than crib size. Happy sewing! 🌷
I think it is so funny when people say they "hop" on a scale! LOL I never "hop" on. I step on as slowly as possible to hopefully slow it going up. Not kidding :) LOL!! You are giddy with your loss :) I don't blame you! Congrats!!
Thanks so much, Susan! 😃 I’m absolutely elated for my recent weight loss! This year has been such a struggle! 🌷 Yes, colloquialisms are alive and well with me! 😂
Oh wow! He’s been very productive in his retirement so far! 😎 We have quite a list of projects but thankfully, we have crossed off several projects lately! That is a great achievement! 😅 Slowly but surely they’ll get done. Have a great week! 🩷
Looking good Amber! My scale has not moved in over a year or more. I did lose 20lbs ish the year before that. Well at least the scale not moving back up.
Thank you, Michelle! 💜 You look great! Maintaining is a win too! You guys have been very busy this summer! I love how you are focused on clean eating most of the time!
What a great loss Amber🎉 chicken skewers in the summer is my favorite. My fav marinade: 1/4 c red wine vinegar, 2 TBSP veg oil, 2 TBSP Soy sauce, 2 TBSP ketchup, add garlic & pepper to taste. It's an old recipe from Tupperware 😊 have a great week.
Thank you! So thrilled to be making progress again! 🌷 Sounds great, Jacki!! Thank you so much for the delicious recipe! I will definitely try it! We need something different! 💕 Have a blessed week ahead also, my friend!
I rejoined W W a couple weeks ago and have lost about 5 lbs. I really need the tracking feature to keep me positive. We are going on holiday for a couple weeks soon and I know there might be a couple extra ice cream cones in my future so hopefully it won’t be too bad. I do plan to track everyday though. I’m still struggling with night time eating so a work in progress. Good luck with your week.
That is awesome, Marilyn! So happy for you! Tracking is the number one key for success for sure! Hope you have a wonderful vacation and enjoy your treats! It’s important to enjoy life while on this journey! Blessings, my friend!
It’s a lot to maintain, isn’t it?! 😃 When we have company, having several options comes in handy though! And to think, growing up we survived with only one!
@@authenticallyamber99 we are applied! Lol! Ya 4 bathrooms is a lot! the one upstairs in hubby’s man cave is his responsibility that all I’m gonna say about that lol. So thankfully for pool bath now that we have a pool! Luckily previous owners most liking were thinking pool when they built this house. The kids don’t even have to come in the house when they come to swim. They stay in pool area. Nice!
Hey Amber! Nice Haul! I have a premiere at 7:30 pm if you want to join in. It’s too funny you have the same side board as me and same friendly village a dishes too.
Hey there! 💜 I caught the very last minute of the premiere! 🤣 I watched it afterwards though. 🌷 Thanks for the invite! We have great taste. What can we say?! 😂💕 I love my side board! It holds so much despite its seemingly small size!
Great video Amber! Don't know if you caught when you said your goal is 250. I think you meant 150😊 my husband and I love breakfast for dinner! Have a great week🌞
Haha! Yes, I included an edit in my description box. 😂😂 Dear Lord, please never 250 again!! 🤣 I was just making sure people were paying attention. Haha! Yes, mixing up dinner routines is great! Thanks so much! Hope you have a wonderful week ahead too! 💕🎉
Thank you! 🩷 I hear ya! It’s hit or miss for me most times. I will say, the Goodwill I frequent is, by far, the best in our area. 😃 I was pretty happy with my treasures! 🌷
Glad to see you Amber!So glad your tests came back normal. Thanks for catching us up on everything. Look forward to any videos you post. Prayers for hubbies job outlook. 💙
Hey Amber! I'm relieved your medical tests turned out normal, and I'm rooting for you and your hubby amidst the job uncertainty. Family time sounds like a much-needed break, despite the long drives and sickness aftermath. I hope you both recover fully soon. Weight loss journeys can be tough, especially with life throwing so much at you. Your determination to get back on track with Weight Watchers is inspiring. And simplifying life, like decluttering, makes a lot of sense, especially with potential downsizing. Grieving your parents is tough, but finding gratitude amidst it all is powerful.
Good to hear from you! Glad the grandbabies are keeping you busy -- just said a prayer for the little one and his parents 🙂 I'm 64 and as I move through life it strikes me as strange that we spend the first half of life collecting and acquiring, then spend the second half of life divesting ourselves of most of it 🤷♀️. I had an older woman tell me several years ago to get rid of everything -- she said I would feel so much freer. At the time I thought "but I'm still acquiring!," but now I know exactly what she meant. Letting go is still quite the process for me, though. I lost my mom in March of 2000, but had my dad until January of last year -- he lived to 97.5, which was a true blessing. I think the feeling of loss changes over time, but never completely goes away. Praying for peace for you, and gratitude is a wonderful place to start 💜
Hi there, Janet! 😃 Thank you so much for your prayers and encouragement! 💕 Yes, decluttering is challenging for sure. I’m sorry for your losses. 🙏 Your dad lived a full life, didn’t he?! ♥️ Thanks for being here. God bless you! 🌷
Haha! 😂 Well, it turns out we agreed on keeping only the two loaf pans. 🌸 It’s so easy to accumulate but purging is a whole other ball of wax! Wishing you success in your decluttering! 💕
Thanks so much! 😃 Haha! I know! I’ve really enjoyed the Corningware but now, it’s time for someone else to enjoy them. In the end, I’m only keeping the two loaf pans. 🌸
Ahhhh man, this makes me feel the need to get to the beach! We have always tried to see the ocean once a year...and it's been about 2! I need me some ocean time!!!
Your birthday gift is awesome. Such good reminders and I think it’s a good reminder to give yourself grace, especially when the stressful times are upon us. Babies are such a gift. Enjoy every moment. They grow up so so fast. Congrats on the loss. Continued prayers for your grand baby.
Yes! Thank you! 💕 I’m so thankful for our precious grandsons! We greatly appreciate your continued prayers! It means so much to us! 🩵 Grace is such a beautiful word, isn’t it?! Hope you have a wonderful week ahead! Thanks for being here! 🌸
Sounds interesting. I do meal plan in 2 week increments but I think the matrix idea takes it one step further. I can see how it would certainly simplify your life.
Your friend is going to love the quilt! It is gorgeous💛 what a special gift. I have a handful of dear friends. The kind that it doesn't matter how often we talk or see each other we just pick right up where we left off. And always there for each other no matter what. Thanks for sharing😊
