Welcome to my channel! My name is Arika. I am a happily married wife, mom, and Noni. I love to vlog and share video inspiration for cooking, cleaning, organizing, planning, and basically anything related to homemaking. I love to help motivate and inspire others to embrace and enjoy the high calling of being a homemaker. Thank you so much for being here!
Arika, funny enough- my daughter has your name but spelled backwards 😊 how do you(Jackson) reheat the chicken bowls when he’s ready to eat? Thanks in advance
Thank you for sharing your coloring with your beautiful granddaughter. What a special moment and I’m glad you signed and dated it. 🥰. I’m not a Grammy yet but I can’t wait. 😊
Happy Birthday Jaxon! We live 5 minutes from the Asheboro zoo, so when I was listening to the beginning of your vlog I had to back it up and make sure I heard you correctly! 😂 It is a beautiful area, so glad you guys got to go!
Hi Arika, i think you have shared it in the past but, I can’t find it. Could you please share the recipe for your flourless muffins? A big Happy Birthday to Jackson!!!!!🎉
Thank u, thank u, THANK U for not decorating for fall- I'm so agitated by all the YT influences decorating for Fall already! And stores already have winter decos!! So tired of this consumerism not allowing people to LIVE IN THE MOMENT
I haven’t visited the zoo here in NC in a while from your video it look like it had a face lift done. I do agree it is a beautiful zoo but very hilly. Happy you only got rain from hurricane Debby we got rain here in Fayetteville also with some flooding around the area. Happy belated birthday to your son
Hi,Arika. I hope you are all doing good. I sure like Patrick's shirt. Happy Belated Birthday to Jaxon.🎁 I hope we get some rain here soon. It's going to be 105 Sunday. (Louisiana) you take care.
Thank you for showing so much of the scenery of the zoo. Happy Birthday to Jaxon 🎈 When you said you were going to NC zoo all l could think of was drop in & visit Leslie from The Farming Pastor's Wife. They live right next door & can hear the lions roar. Great hanging out with you ❤ Take care 🌼
Happy belated birthday to Jaxson. Hope he has a wonderful school year. We went to that zoo once when visiting my daughter who lives in Charlotte. We loved it. Loved the vlog.
Beautiful video. Happy and Blessed Birthday to Jackson. Arika I love when you add soft music like in this video, much pleasant to watch. Thank you for all the effort, you are a busy mother one of the best I known, love the way you love your furry babies. God Bless for all you do.
Hey Arika, first let me wish Jaxon a Belated Happy Birthday 🎊🎂🎁🎈🎉 it will soon be 10 years since I’ve had a child that I’ve had to drop off/ pick up from school daily. I take my Grandkids and pick them up on occasion. I thought once my sons graduated and I was an empty nester I would sleep in and just lounge but let me tell you I still get up at 5:30 am and actually have a lot of things that keep me busy. Iam busier now than ever. The older I get the faster time goes by. I miss my sons ( I have 2) being young and I cherished every single moment I had with them. I was like you I don’t like when school started back and a lot of the other Moms thought I was crazy! Maybe I was but I truly loved/ love being with my boys. Wow long rant. Anyway I hope Jaxon has a great school year . God Bless. Sending love all the way from Alabama, Chrissie ♥️🙏🎂
Enjoying watching the wedding prep & everyone working together. Intrigued to see the finished bar cart 😊 Loved seeing your seeing your assistant locking over your shoulder ❤ Take care 🌼
Hate driving Asheville even though we just bypass it going to Myrtle beach but something about it lol We haven’t been to a zoo in 30 yrs. We went to Columbia zoo in Ohio. I think today’s vlog was the most I’ve heard Jaxon talk in a long time. He sounds just like Marion. Bless your heart on the wedding planning!! Sweet memories but know you are stressing!! I’m stressing trying to get ready for vacation in a few weeks lol ❤
Women never retire..30 years with kids in school..the 50+ years of meals..I am 68 and it seems I have worked my whole life. Retiring would be nice..but I do love a good meal and a clean house! 🩷
