September 30th - 1. I am grateful for my grandma who I love dearly 2. I am grateful for my health 3. I am grateful for waking up and seeing another day Today will be a great day because I am going to go see my grandma and also see friends. Spending the day with people I love

You've been such a light in my life since watching you years ago! I love your positivity and enjoying/being grateful for the small things in life!

Have you been tested for dust mite allergy? I found out I was allergic and so NO carpet, fabric upholstery…… have to use encasements on beds pillows box springs and mattresses!!! Life changing…. NO MORE HEADACHES!!!😂

I have been participating in the book challenge this year. I drive 2 hours a day so all of my books have been audiobooks. I would like to thank you and Larry for inspiring me because I am on book number 20 in 2023.

3 things thankful for today… To be able to go grocery shop, having today off with family and stability! Something that would be nice tonight is a date night/movie night ❤

Humidifier in your bedroom while you sleep. It helps keep the sinuses moist.

Grateful ..for cozy clean sheets ..crisp fall air already in California ..staying organized with a fall to do list Its the simple things!

You inspired me to get this 5 minute journal . im dealing with some things and this is a great idea . why i never thought or did it before . so thank you mindy for be supportive of your viewers

With eczema use aquaphor before putting aveno baby lotion. My son's face and body was covered with bad eczema and that helped him tremendously. Wish you luck.

Girl get a neti pot!

The Afrin rebound congestion is worse than the initial congestion! Flonase is a better option and can be used longer term. They say it’s even ok to use when your nose is messed up from using afrin to help your sinuses de swell. I was also able to use Flonase while pregnant but as always, check with your doc 😊

Omg Liam is walking omg it feels like it was yesterday he was only born. Time is going so quick. ❤❤ best luck to all

Hi Mindy - try doing the hot water bowl - put a towel over your head and put your face over a bowl of hot water for a couple mins at a time - I have really bad sinus issues and this is one of my favorite things to do as it really helps relieve alot of the congestion- good luck 🙏

I am greatfull for fair health, family, and being able to pay the bills. Today was a great day because the family and I made it back home without a scratch! God is good ❤

Good morning! Three things im grateful for My family,my home, and good doctors. Three anxiety issues My husband has a nodule on his lung, going back into the work force after 24 years of being a stay at home mom, waiting for results for my husband's pet scan.

That rebound congestion sucks!!! What helped me getting off of nasal spray was adding water to it, slowly diluting it. Those nasal strips helped me too

I'm glad Larry got new friends. When I was middle age and I have eczema on my right arm elbow never happened before. I use cream 2 time morning and night for few months then take long for awhile til eczema fade away. I have Been going through tough cuz of itching. I'm sure Liam will be okay. Keep eyes on him. Mindy, you are so strong and positive. ❤❤❤

Add The Fourth Wing to your list. It’s an absolute perfect fall book to cozy up to with a coffee ☕️!

Hi Mindy! Wanted to send a little tip for your congestion... Thyme. You can bring dried or fresh thyme to a simmer in some water, and it helps with congestion. Both nasal and chest congestion will loosen up. Do this 3 times a day for about 20/ 30 minutes. It works great! (Makes your house smell like a pizza house but... it works)

Hi Mindy....great vlog! Bless you with your sinuses and headache, hoping you can get some relief soon. Liam and his rash, he has been in my prayers that this lil' man doesn't have to suffer much longer and the Dr can subscribe something soon. I know he's your #1 priority and you've been doing everything possible. I have ordered my 5 min Journal and l can't wait to get it. You are such an inspiration to Me, pls don't ever change the way you vlog because this is why You are so loved! Of course Larry, Liam too ❤!

use steam to help break the congestion! that helps a lot

also did IVF. I was told that I can use an over the counter allergy nose spray. Of course ask your doctor before you use :) Otherwise, get a neti pot and saline nasal spray. Happy Saturday!

Okay, sweet Mindy, I'm going to share this because I feel compelled by my beautiful late mother to do so.😊 I am a doctor, the professor kind, but I am not a medical doctor, so take this with the tiniest grain of salt you can imagine. My mama used to swear by keeping her nose lubricated with petroleum jelly- in our case from a giant tub of vaseline- and for years, I fought her method. However, I am a Gen X baby, and refusing to allow my mother to cram Vaseline up my nose was not an option. As I grew older, I realized that her method was much more effective than I would ever have allowed. Also, I cannot take decongestants. So, when my nose is congested, I have a good saline spray or neti session, make sure I have those good smelling things around me, blow my nose one really good time, and then shove a bunch of Vaseline up my nose. The only change I have made to my mama's method is that I also take mucinex- just the regular kind not the DM- to thin out my mucus. This method usually works pretty well, and I am breathing freely through my nose in a couple of days or fewer. Again, this is not medical advice, but I couldn't listen to your poor little nosy-posey being congested without giving you this information. Much love to you, Larry, and precious Liam! 🥰🤩

Feel better Mindy and Liam! ❤️👩🏻‍🦱👦🏼

Great video mindy !! Prayers sent ur way for lil liam and you both to feel better soon !!

Neti Pot or the Navage will be LIFE CHANGING for you. I have chronic sinus infections and since using the Navage I’ve had SO much relief.

Hi!!! - 9-30-23 1- Grateful for God waking me to a new day. 2-Grateful for starting my transition to my move to Florida. 3-Grateful for my new grandbaby soon to arrive. What would make this day great ? If I was leaving for Florida was today instead of December. Have an awesome weekend guys...Just love your videos

watch your dairy, bread and sugar it has helped me. i have really bad congestion also. remember its also allergy season, change of weather.

When your that congested, (which I'm one), you need nasal strips and if it's the allergies from your area; find honey that was gathered from bees from your area.

Move your laptop up higher so you don't have to look down constantly that helps with your migraines too. Try a facial steam for decongestion... Did you adjust your air conditioning temperature? When you are sick, eliminate added sugar from your diet it can help and more nourishing soups. Sending positive vibes. Love your journal ideas. Tysm for the ideas and prompts. Love fall not ready for Christmas yet gurl! But we're in the works of setting up Xmas train village. It's epic everytime. Last year was first time doing a video for RU-vid. Feel free to watch it! It's a good lengthy one and family friendly. So yeah even tho I'm not ready for Christmas here we are setting up Christmas village.

Neil med sinus rinse. It a squeeze bottle you fill up with powdered saline and purified water( warm) then squirt it in one nostril with your head bent over the sink and your mouth slightly open. The saline will flow out the other nostril then switch. This will get the gunk out better than just saline spray. It literally will flow right out . Sounds gross but works like a charm.

Check for mold exposure in the house. It can be hidden or not. It can effect skin, sinus, brain fog, anxiety and so much more. Y'all moved and with humid and wet temps never can be to careful. Certain meds, Advil, candles, scents, detergents. Neck misalignments even has a connection to the nerves and sinus, ears, eyes ect. We did all natural dissolve under the tongue tabs for sinus. I will get the name and follow back up on here but it sure works. It can be so miserable. But you will get better soon 😊.

You can use the Arm & Hammer drug free nasal sprays once you stop the other sprays for embryo transfer journey, it’s totally safe and safe during pregnancies! Saved me when I was! I have severe nasal congestion too in TX 😢

I love those prompts. I love to journal, especially when things get stressful. In my nearby Hobby Lobby, I found Fall/Halloween/Thanksgiving items, along with Christmas items.

Stopped at 2:09 to share use oregano oil 3 drops in a cup of hot water- tea. It relieves congestion by getting rid of mucus. Amazon and Sprouts carries it! It’s amazing!

I am a big fan of my NETIPOT for nasal congestion 🙌🏽 highly recommend

I agree with a Neti Pot/saltwater. I’ve had 2 sinus surgeries and if I ever start to get congested, I start using the neti pot every day… it works! I hope it gets better girl! ❤️

Essential oils work good for me.. Maybe you have tried the same technique. Put a drop or two of eucalyptus oil in your palm and form a funnel over it with your hand and sniff up each nostril.

Yes I always love the music.

Good morning happy Saturday I can’t wait to watch but first coffee!!😍❤️🎃🍁🍂🧡

Good morning 🌅 from Canada ❤ love watching your videos 😊

Try sinus rinse Neil med,you can do it multiple times a day. I find it easier than using a netty pot. Try the tea traditional medicinals breath easy add some honey. Love this tea line!

My mom has used nose spray for 35 plus years and she has ruined her nasal canal and it's quite bad. Her doctor kept telling her to stop. Try breathe right nose strips. Don't use nose spray, it's so bad for anyone. I love your sweater.

I’ve been a nose spray junkie for years. Slowly cutting back and it works really well if you just use it in one nostril at night only. Then switch and I’ve watered mine down too.

I was addicted to that for years. Flonase is ok to use for a month or so.

I count audio books as a read. If you want a good ,light , super cute, cozy Christmas read , check out The 12 Dates of Christmas by Jenny Bayliss. It’s a sweet story and has all the cozy vibes, as you would say. Hope you get to feeling better. Love the channel!! ❤

I’ve seen other people say it too, but Flonase is fine for long term use, and I’m pretty sure it’s okay with pregnancy too. You have to use it consistently though because it works better over time. Also nasal rinses can be helpful but you have to get used to it. I did a lot of research before buying a kit on Amazon. Rinsing the nasal passages with a saline solution and then using the Flonase is a good combo for me, and like I said, it should be pregnancy safe but check with your doctor.

I hope you feel better soon. I myself just got a cold and fever this week. I haven't been sick in years. I was drained. My daughter has ezema and uses desidine and it worked so well.

Wow I’m really into that journal

Have you tried a neti pot? Many of my family members use one every day with a saline rinse and it's life changing at keeping your nasal passages clear and preventing sickness.

Please try air humidifier especially when you are sleeping. It adds moisture in the air. Im also in your case btw😊

Hi Mindy, how are your workouts going? Love your videos ❤️ I always look forward to them.

Enjoyed your video !!… Give a big hug and kiss to Liam and Larry❤️

Audiobooks count as reading!!! You are still consuming the story even if you aren’t looking at the words. Reading physically isn’t possible for everyone so audiobooks are amazing! Audiobooks and reading aloud are also great for kids because it exposes them to lots of words even before they can read on their own. 📚🎧 I was a children’s librarian for a while so I’m passionate about this haha. 😅 Fall is my favorite time of the year to read. I hope you find a great read for the season!

Hope you get better. Just now watching your video.

30th September 1. I'm grateful for my family 2. Being alive 3. Having my 2 sons. 1. Make a great day my son is walking like crazy now after yesterday walking lots of steps 2. My partner mopping because I can't from my back pain. 3. Older nephews helping clean too 3 things I want less anxious stress and less phone time. Sorry got it all backwards

Liam looks so grown up in this video 😊

❤❤❤❤❤

Have you tried a Neti Pot? It may work for you! Hope you and Liam are well soon !

Hey mindy my poor baby girl has three things going on with her she has a cold allergies and five teeth coming in I am grateful for my cats my daughter and my husband less anxiety and less screen time and more snuggles with my kitties

Mindy use color catchers in your laundry!! Never have to sort ☺️

I’m going to do a book challenge for next year ! I love reading and never thought about doing it. Can’t wait! ❤

You are so sweet , happy family ❤

I use this and it works so well. Arm & Hammer Simply Saline Nasal Mist

My youngest son had eczema. People with allergies have eczema! The rx cream we got for him worked wonderful. It was worst when the weather changed from cold to hot. Or hot to cold. It also helped when he got out of bath we put moisturizing lotion on him.

I went to an ear, throat and nose specialist for my congestion. She recommended the clear polysporin for the nose. Put the tube end in the nostril and squeeze. Using a finger to apply anything can danage the blood cells in the nose. Also a neti pot

Add to your bucket list of places to go...Hobart Book Village in the Catskills. My friend and I went this weekend...rented an adorable old school house air bnb...and walked the village for 5 hours in and out of bookstores of all kinds. Literally a book worms dream. ❤ Also...i cried my eyes out at the end of It Ends with Us...and definitely read It Starts with us after.

Use steam..put a towel over your head...try that. I understand how u feel.

Vicks vapor rub on your feet when you go to bed with socks. Also on your chest. Hope you feel better soon. Love you guys! Yay baby # 2. Larry, Hiiiiiieeee

Girl feel your pain have had this for weeks tried the spray not working would love to find a better way to get this fix

Careful with saline spray as it's very drying. Baraka oil for nose is good.

Just a tip for your breathing, run a humidifier and the room that you spend the most time in or just run it in the bathroom closed up creating a steam room and sit in their breathing it for a few minutes at a time

I have found that Ocean spray is really salty and can burn. AYR is another choice which is more gentle. You can also use saline rinses.

Do a nasal/sinus flush make sure you use distilled water (only) at room temp, breath through your mouth it’s difficult and they are gross but it’s amazing for sinus issues. Also inflammation/congestion in the nasal passage could be caused by allergies in case you didn’t know… good luck! ❤

Try some warm sleepy time tea with honey and lemon. Praying for you sweetie. God is good!

oh my gosh mindy i know exactly what your talking about bc i've been in the SAMEEE boat! i've been using affirn every night just so i can breathe and my husband told me it says do not use that more than a few days straight wellllll that's hard when you can not breathe esp at night lol BUT i did stop using it two nights ago and today i can actually breathe a bit. so i hope it works for you as well. i know it's so hard to not use it but you got this lol

Get a humidifier it helps a lot. This comes from someone who has trouble breathing through their nose also. I have had 2 nose surgeries on my sinuses.

My son had bad eczema as well as a baby. We found that we couldn’t use anything scented. So unscented laundry detergent and unscented dryer sheets and also with bath time we could only use unscented dove. Don’t let any scent touch his body. That worked for us. As for sinuses I’m struggling too. My dr prescribed a steroid nasal spray which works wonders and if I remember correctly you can use it while pregnant. It was one of the only things I could use. Good luck!! ❤

I'm grateful for God, My kids and family. It was nice to wake up to the sunrise and to a wonderful message from my sister !! Good morning Mindy ' Hope you have a wonderful day Here were I live about 2 hours away they have a amazing pumpkin 🎃 patch with animals love to take my kids there

Mindy, when you do the steam add some Vicks. It used to help me immensely when I would get Sinus infections.

I've done the rebounding from afrin many times. Leave your nose alone to keep swelling at a minimum and drink hot tea

Ok...I just got home from Disney world and the weather is straight icky!!!!! Giirrllll how do you deal with that humidity!?? Lol!!! I can't wait to get back home! 😅😅 Florida is beautiful but ddaannngggggg!!!!! Also, I hope you feel better soon! ❤

Mindy, be sure to watch the Hallmark Movie that was filmed at Biltmore that is coming out Nov. 26th I believe!

I don’t know if it’s the same but so have to avoid all dairy or my east’s and sinuses get clogged up. dairy creates extra mucus. I hope you feel better? I live functional medicine doctors because they will get to the root cause. ♥️

Oh Mindy I really feel for you suffering with nasal congestion. I have for ever. Like you I’ve been trying to quit the sprays. I’ve literally done, taken, sniffed, quit dairy etc Recently I’ve been using a ‘safer’ low steroid spray, two puffs twice daily, which I thought was helping but I’ve been having a few sniffs of the other stuff. I’ve been taking it for well over 20 years because I am so blocked and it’s awful. Being unable to breathe. I tried Neti pots, essential oils, Vicks rub but nothing it’s helping. I know over use of sprays isn’t good, but there’s no alternative? I had eczema when I was young, then hay fever hit hard at 13 but it’s gradually got worse and worse and now I’m 62 🤷‍♀️ I really hope you can get some relief especially during pregnancy. I’ll be reading other comments to see if anyone has suggestions I’ve not tried! Good luck! I hope the cream with help Liam!! And of course I have everything crossed for your IVF journey No 2!!! Love from the U.K. 🍦🍦🍦🥰🙅‍♀️🙅‍♀️🙅‍♀️

I live in Southern Indiana which is awful with allergies. I use some all natural- made with essential oil- shower steamers for congestion and sinuses. I buy them from a store here local in French Lick, IN. If you would like me to ship you some i would be happy to! They help me out when i use them first thing in the morning.

Christmas is my favorite so after Halloween I am geared up for santa😂

I love a grocery haul!

Nedi pot & nasal spray. And you can use those while pregnant, they WILL NOT hurt you one bit.

So sorry for your ongoing headaches and sinus congestion. It would probably be worthwhile to see an EN&T Dr. (Otolaryngologist). Get a referral from your regular MD. They will take history, check your sinuses with a CAT Scan, and determine what’s going on. I was hit with a baseball ⚾️ right at the center where my sinuses are, at 10 yrs old, and had a Cat-scan of my sinuses at 27. The Dr asked “When were you in a car accident?” Never. “You have damage as if your head hit a steering wheel”. So, I wonder if you had any injuries playing softball 🥎? Sending healing prayers 🙏🏼 and lots of ❤ for your next IVF Cycle. Tell Larry “Hi!” And please ask him to post more photos.📷

Yu ar a very cruel mother leaving Liam on his own ad going to london😢

October 1st 1. My love for working with kids 2. My Mama 3. My bestie 1. Getting to take time to read my book for a little bit. 2. Get some work done in my new room. 3. My nausea goes away. 5:52

I love journaling for anxiety, combined with mindfulness meditation. The book "30 Days to Reduce Anxiety" by Harper Daniels teaches some good techniques.

Do the warm salt warm in noise or steam to fix it it works

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

The 3 things I’m grateful for is 1. Waking up 2. Coffee with pumpkin creamer 3. Cooler weather Make the day better 1. Less stress 2.a nap 3. Less talking on the phone

Get a humidifier for your rooms. They have them for each seasons.

Have you tried switching laundry detergents for Liam? He could be reacting to a fragranced detergent.

I figured you caught a cold when you got back from your trip you bought throat drops, NyQuil and nose spray. Doesn't sound like allergies 🤷🏼‍♀️

Last November to about April of this year I was using nose spray constantly. What helped me was going 1 full night of barely sleeping and not being able to breath for my nose to go back to normal. Here I am again about 3 or 4 months of using nose spray(happens every time I get a cold😩) and addicted to it again. lol trying to wean myself off of it AGAIN! Haha I did found out recently when I had an allergy test that I’m allergic to Timothy grass and Bermuda grass. So I’m about to start taking an allergy shot every week for about a year and see if that makes a difference
