"Why don't you go to work"...looking after a family, cleaning, cooking, shopping, gardening etc, thats an unpaid hard full time job in itself!!! You do a fantastic job Ria, x
I am a pensioner now, and was a stay at home mum, yes we could have had more money, but when I look back I was very happy with my late husband and children. Think it is a full time job! 😄💕
Love the wreath on the front door! Two potted plants, centered at the bottom of your windows. Then one pot plant to the right of your door(going outside). Would look so pretty! Dark gray pots with pink flowers, would look fabulous with your wreath. Also white vinegar, dish soap and salt is a pet friendly safe weed killer. Especially, now weeds are pulled, it can soak into ground killing weed roots.
I think your home looks lovely Ria ❤ People will always make judgements about how others live, and they think that just because we put it on RU-vid, they think it gives them the right to pass judgement. You and Mark live the way you want to ❤
Hi Ria you have done a brilliant job with your back garden and at the front of the house,the wreath stands out really well against the door.you are right we should all be grateful in what we have got because alot of people don't even have a house.everybody's house is your own little palace.xx
It's your home at the end of the day doesn't matter what you have or don't have,it's yours and your family ❤❤ you are very grateful for what you have and it shows xx
You worked so hard on this Ria and it looked really good after you finished. It takes a lot of effort to maintain a home and you are right in saying we have to appreciate what we have ❤
I was a sahm when my daughter was little, but sadly now with the prices of everything I’ve no choice but to work, I think it also does you the world of good to get out the house, meet people and contribute, plus running the home isn’t then solely your job you share lol But at the end of the day it’s what works for your family, no one’s business xx
Thank you Ria for your honest and down to earth videos x I totally agree with you, I live in a very normal house and I’m thankful every day for it. xxx🏡💕
It's always a good day when you post a new video. The things you said about sacrifices and having a safe place to be, were very meaningful to me. Thank you Ria ❤
Hi ria love what you done front looks great the wreath looks pretty your like me very grateful for the things you have my home is my safe place I keep it tidy and really enjoy it home is what you make it and you do a good job of it take care ❤
You always make me smile. You exude inner contentment. It’s priceless and so vital to well-being. I’m exhausted watching you cleaning. The obvious love for your pets is heartwarming. I don’t trust folk who don’t have pets 😊
Thanks for the video 😊 you really do go out of your way to make people feel good with the things you say. The world would be a far better place if everyone took some inspiration from you. Your garden looks perfect 👌 enjoy! X
We’ve been doing ours, just got my pod all ready for me too sit in, loads of lights and bits, my hubby had it built for me when we lost Tylor, it’s my place too sit relax and feel close too my beautiful boy, it’s 11 years Friday 🥲 so hard week, You keep a beautiful home Ria and garden, and it’s nobody’s business why you don’t go out too work, what you do is a full time job with no days off, I’ve not been able too work since Tylor, tried but had break down, hubby said that’s it you don’t need too work stay home where you feel safe, so I do like you, 🌸🧡sam🧡🌸
You are so correct in what you say Ria appreciate what you have ❤ my mantra has always been is I dont care where I live as long as I'm with my family and we are all together xx the rest is a bonus ❤
Hey ria, you’ve done a wonderful job of the garden, I hate weeding but I do enjoy painting I find it therapeutic. I’m in exactly the same position as you, I’m a stay at home mum and I think I do more now then when I was actually going out to work. You definitely don’t have to justify yourself to anyone. I love your channel you are such a lovely person and it’s a joy to watch your videos and also get inspiration, thank you lovely ❤
Love watching your videos ❤ little tip … have a bottle of tippex handy for all little marks on white paint , great to cover small marks until you get to fix them xxx
Love how honest and down to earth you are Ria that's why I love watching yours videos. We struggle but we get by. I hate weeding aswell. Don't really like gardening either. If my dad was here with us still he would have been round all the time doing it he lived gardening and he loved that my garden it big. I always say to my children we are all so lucky yes we may not be able to go out and buy whatever you want or we want but we have a roof over our heads and food in the house. We are gradually doing our garden little bits at a time as it's like a jungle in some parts lol xx
Being a stay at home parent and keeping your home together is equivalent to 2 full time jobs. Anyone who puts that down has no clue how life works. Also is artificial turf for grass a European thing? That's kinda cool! Thanks for being awesome
Aw Ria, this is a fab video!! You’re completely right, it’s all about appreciating everything we have and taking care of it!! Incredibly motivating ❤xxxx
I was so pleased that so many people told you the same thing I did. You are a real down to earth person and you can live your life the way you want. I worked and stayed at home made no difference the more money you make the more bills you have.❤
Hey it’s not how big the home is it’s how much love is in it , I’ve had the big fancy home and I was unhappy, I used to live in Pompey it’s god awful there , this area is a huge improvement 👍 It’s no ones business about you staying at home to take care of your family , if it works in your home and your all happy that’s all that matters x
I was a stay at home mum until my youngest daughter left school then i. Decided to get a part time job i did that for 20 years but now im retired everyone is different in what thay want to do if its right for you then its nobodies business but yours ria i loved being at home with my kids and i injoyed my job so it was the best of both worlds take care sweetie xxx ❤
Hey Ria that's a lovely job. I do love weeding and painting . I do stand back and enjoy the difference it makes. In saying that I've painted very little this year as I find I have to be in the right head space to not just lash it up. Xx
Been watching but didn’t realise I hadn’t sub-ed 😂 love that your keeping it real and I would love to be a stay at home mum again but I love working in a school to much now lol, and as I became a single mum after 19yrs I cant afford to. I loved being the housewife and mum. Your doing amazing and what’s right for you x
Looking lovely and tanned Ria, it's been so hot hear in Banbury today me and Bobby managed about 30 minutes and came back indoors, hope you have a lovely week and enjoy the heat I know you love it xx Terri x

@@riasuzanne5541 my clients are like my friends now! And just get used to the routine and do get used to the money,except for when a tax bill to pay but love being my own boss,like your friend Claire.x
Hi lovely I’m new to your channel. Like you I don’t work and don’t own my own house as I chose to be a stay at home mum, you have a lovely home and it obvious how much your girls mean to you 💞💞💞

Hi ria , love your videos and you are so right about where you live and what you have , as long as you and your family are healthy and happy that’s all that matters, was wondering what you cleaned your front with as that’s a job I need to do was it just hot soapy water xx
hi ria 😊 oh well done the flowers on the front door look lovely 😊 weeding feels like a punishment to me 😂😂 i hate it. i live on my own so like u i do all my own jobs. iv just finshed doing my garden i had some wicker furniture like urs it was a bit tired and i cudnt afford new ones so i decided to paint them and they look lovely 😁. your gardens looking so nice now ❤
Lovely garden. One thing i hate is doing the hedge. Hate that job. Dont mind cutting the grass and the weeding. I try my best to keep on top if it. We can only do what we can . Take care xx
Hi ria loving your channel only found you recently. Is the heart from home bargains I've just seen you move to the front door. If it is hb I have them a little tip if you are having it against a flat surface you can actually split them in half 2 for the price of one of you like ❤
Wanted to give Sparky a little belly rub but you know you can't reach through your phone and you don't have to explain to us why you don't work that is between you and your husband it's none of our business and your front I don't know if your hose is long enough or your cord you might be able to stick the cord in the hose for your pressure washer through your letterbox you can pressure wash all that out front
