I’m about to do my whole house. My hot water heater flooded out our floors. With all our other projects, I don’t think we are at a point to put down permanent flooring. I refuse to file a policy claim after our roof a year ago. Texas home insurance policies are already so high. Ugh…I know this project will be insane with 5 dogs. She said a month for a basement. Lord help me! 😊
Great video Emily! I love your new hutch. I'm sure you will be able to put some drawers in the space where the table pull out. You're so creative, I'm sure you'll think of something!
Ooo I love that wooden shelf. I've been on the hunt for a simple antique style shelf myself. That's a great find and will look great in your very pretty kitchen. I love your plants and decor.
I rent and the front room floor dropped about 4 inches. The room next too it the floor dips down. I'm afraid to tell the landlord about it. He is very frugal with spending money on the house and I'm afraid he's gonna tell me I have to move. Every room is packed and I have 6 cats. It's gonna be hard to find a house to accommodate me. What can I do?
You’ve got a good little helper there! 🩷 You’re making my mouth water with this video. That watermelon at the first of the video and I love anything lemon! Your daughter is talented! I love what she made for you! Thanks for sharing! 🩷
I have had these honey oak cabinets and I don't care what you do to them, it's all lipstick on a pig. Paint hides most of the ugliness but it's not rub on rub off. The pattern on the top of the cabinet doors is the give away, oink oink oink
We had vacation Bible school at my church last week also. I taught along with a very sweet sister in Christ. What a blessing!! I love peonies also! They smell so wonderful! My mom use to make sausage balls! There never any left over. I love fruit salads! I enjoyed the video! Thanks for sharing! 🩷
Hi Emily. If you still are not happy with your non-wood side panels, you might want to check out very thin oak veneer sheets. That's what we did in our kitchen and we like them much better.
I LOVE that you addressed this! I struggled with becoming a mom as well mostly because of postpartum issues that lasted a long time. Being a homemaker is very fulfilling. But it can be hard too. I think the devil attacks Christian homes most of all- which makee sense. Why wouldn't he. 🫥 That said- I do feel very blessed to be able to be home and to be able to homeschool my kids. It was a great speech though. Crazy the back lash he got from it- but not surprising. God bless! 💕
I hadn’t even heard about this. 😂 When I first started staying home five years ago, I felt like my life was less complete because I was no longer working. Luckily, I finally realized that even though I wasn’t impacting as many lives as I used to, I was impacting MY most important people, my own kids and husband. ❤ I have really appreciated your encouragement and motivation to become a better wife and mother over the years. ☺️
lol. I literally do all that AND have to work 8 hours out of the house to help with bills. My day starts at 4am…house chores….work for 8 hours…..more house chores….shower…bed. Weekend- mowing, errands, chores, sleep. And repeat
I hate weed fabric. The weeds eventually just grow into it and it makes them harder to get out. I put down cardboard or layers of newspaper, then mulch. It keeps the weeds down for a year and then it becomes part of the soil.
You an inspiration to me! Love your basement project. It’s looks beautiful. I’m a single mom and your home improvement videos help keep me grounded. I’ve set unrealistic timelines for myself and then put extra pressure on myself to get things done. I’ve learned to be okay with taking my time with projects. The project will still get done-family comes first. 🩷 Thanks again for being an amazing content creator.
Emily, I’m just catching up. I felt your statement about not having the type of homes other influencers have. One of the reasons I enjoy your channel is precisely that, your home is representative of the real American home. Well loved, functional and homey. Keep up the great videos. Dale, my first comment. ❤❤

Wow! Thanks for the shoutout!❤ Thanks for answering my questions. 😊 I taught Kindergarten for 6 years and did 5th grade for student teaching. They were lovely, but stinky in Spring😂 I agree with the kitchen clean up first thing! That is ME too! I have really been debating on whether to multitask during homeschool time or not. Our kitchen is just far enough away from the dining room that it makes it hard to step too far away. 😊
Thank you for the questions! I always thought kindergarten teachers were the most patient people on earth. 😊 I hope you find what works for you as far as multitasking goes. It took me a while to figure out what works and it still might change! 😂
I love how you transformed your concrete floor on a budget and shared each step so clearly. The tips on surface preparation and choosing the right paint are particularly helpful. The final result looks amazing and has inspired me to try this in my own basement. Thanks for sharing your experience and advice!
This was a fun video to watch! Thanks for sharing your approach to grocery shopping - it’s changed so much from the days of coupon clipping. I shop a couple different stores too. Thanks for the shout out! It’s fun that we’ve been blogging/youtube buddies for such a long time. 💕
Emily, thank you again for being sooooooo real!!! I passover soooo many channels, when I see their house looks impossible and their self care, to me is soooo extreme for me that im not that type of person. We are a Christian home too and we have much more similar ideas, values, goals of our children being our focus to raise the next generation for Christ. I Love your home and how simplified your routines are that i can get on track with. I do struggle still with motivation but i did hear you say get myself ready but that itself is a struggle bc i have depression. Sometimes thats all i can get done is a shower. 😢❤ would love if u could do more sit down talks like today for encouragement and things that help u in any capacity in between yr cleaning videos like we're are sitting and having fellowship with you ❤
Thank you for your support and feedback! I’m so happy you enjoy my channel. Sorry about your struggle with depression. I know it is hard to deal with. My heart goes out to you. I would say to do the best you can each day and take things moment by moment. Glad you find encouragement from my videos. 💗
