Hi Andrea, I really enjoy your channel. I'm retired now, however I keep very busy getting new ideas on homemaking, and you have a gift of encouragement. I love to see a young Godly mother who has embraced motherhood in such a positive and healthy way. Your home is beautiful and your children are very blessed to have you for their mother. God bless you and your family!
This is just so comforting and encouraging. I am a grandmother and longtime homemaker but you continue to inspire and encourage me to try new things. God bless you.
You know, the more i see your blue stove, the more i absolutely adore it!! Such an unexpected pop of colour but totally fits the cottage vibe of you home 💙💙💙
Your sweet gentle voice makes watching your videos so much more special, you have a calming effect and I bet your home is so peaceful, unlike watching a younger hyper goofy RU-vidr wanting to imitate you which grates on my nerves. Your husband and children are so blessed to have you and you have a lovely home.
I'm from Wisc.and I actually love this time of year and it's when I organize and get everything cozy in my home.I can plan for what I do want to do for summer.❤
A favorite childhood memory was coming home from school to freshly baked bread, still warm with butter melting into it, as my snack. My mom always felt using the oven on the really cold days helped the furnace not have to struggle as much to keep the house warm. I try to do the same when we’re in a deep cold snap because my old house is a little drafty. Perhaps if you raise the lantern a bit you’ll be happier with how it fits the spot? It’s always tough for me to envision new items in place in my home so I hate to make the decisions. 😊
Andrea that was such a relaxing video. I just wanted to be there in your home, enjoying a cup of tea and man oh man that sourdough bread looked so delicious! I love your home and everything you do. Thanks for all the inspo!
Yes! I think as you do, the lantern looks a little too much. But at the end of the day you will know what feels comfortable with you. Forgive me but can you tell what the name of your pots and pans are and what is your honest opinion of them. What ever you put together in your lovely home is my style. I also started the new year with a calming and intentional living, which helps put my day in the right direction with happiness and peace. I journal as will every morning stating what I am grateful. Have a blessed Day!
Andrea, I thank you so much for your quick reply. I totally missed this video. I watched the whole video and I will be getting these pans. Love all your videos and look forward to them. I have used many of your great ideas. Gods blessing to you and your lovely family.
You are such a beauty but most of all a beautiful soul. Andrea your hair looks amazing curled . Your kitchen is super cozy and thank you for sharing recipes. Many blessings pretty lady
I too am obsessed with baby’s breath. It’s just timeless. Just so cozy. I have this lantern in my front entry hallway and at first my hubby and I lived with it a few days and now I love it. Mushrooms would be great with those meatballs too. Yum. I’m also a Midwestern girl. Born and raised in Chicago and I now live in Rockton right on the Illinois and Wisconsin border. It’s an adjustment for this city girl but I DO NOT miss the Chicago traffic. And if I had my way I would have or live in New Buffalo, MI. I love it there!
Another lovely video. Your winter touches are so uplifting. Your hair looks beautiful. I am 71, and my momma use to roll my hair on old strips of cloth when I was in elementary school. She told me that is how she rolled her hair in junior high and high school. This brought back sweet memories. As for that lantern…it really is big, or maybe it’s just me. It’s beautiful, just not in that spot. Have a blessed weekend, stay warm. 😊❤😊🙏🥶❄️🥶❄️
So, so happy to see you incorporating real plants rather than the many faux stems you used in the past. Nurturing and growing something brings life into a dreary winter. Also, I agree the lantern over the sink is too heavy. Perhaps go for something smaller.
I live in Michigan and January is one of my favorite months. Love the snow and it allows me to focus on my sewing room projects. Also making hearty soups. Love your home.
Andrea, your hair looks beautiful! I love all your recipes. My husband has been remodeling my kitchen since July so I can't wait to get my kitchen back. I truly appreciate you putting out your videos. Thanks
Beautiful decorating! I would get a lantern that is a little smaller, and that tapers at the bottom. This would give a graceful look over your sink. I really love your sink. My grandmother had a sink like that on the farm when I was little. I love that you are mixing old with new. It gives your home a timeless style! Thank you for this relaxing video!
Thank you for sharing your recipes!! I always love it when you give us ideas for meals. I haven't ever made homemade bread before but you have inspired me to at least try!! Your kitchen is so warm and cozy as is your home! God bless you this week!!
I loved your channel and all the cozy tips. It's helping me with my winter blues especially after being on vacation in 80s weather and missing my family. Love your hair! I made sourdough sandwich breads this morning for my family. They love this instead of the round bread. It's super easy too. Thanks for a great video. Looking forward to catching up on the ones, i've missed. 😊
I just got around to watching this video, but it was very timely. I worked on my meal plan for the next month and had 3 days left to fill in....now I have 2! Can't wait to try the meatballs and white sauce! Thanks for sharing all the things!
fellow heatless curl girlie over here. Ive been using mine for probably two years now and always have a perfect curl. I recommend the eternal muse curler (I use the jumbo) or silk n love (also the largest curler they have). There's 2 or 3 different size curlers depending on your curl preference. They are sooooo comfortable to sleep in compared to any others I have tried and the silk scrunchies keep from getting the kink at the bottom of the curl. They're a little more money than the amazon curlers but in my opinion well worth the difference. Also for side sleepers like myself I actually take a spare scrunchie and tie the curler back. I also feel it keeps the curler in place better.
Bread making doesn't really take bravery. Give it a try! If it doesn't work, all you've lost is a bit of flour. It most likely will work and you will decide to keep making your own bread. I was raised in a house, where homemade bread was on the agenda every day and I carried this into my life with my own husband and children. Besides being delicious, it is also cost saving. It doesn't take skill, although it does take a bit of time. Just let the bread rise, while you tackle something else.
Andrea, Thank you so much for sharing your home and recipes. You are ome of the sweetest ladies on you tube. Thank you again and I will definitely be trying your recipes.
I get so jealous in the winter watching all these snowy slow winter videos as I am in Florida. I don't feel like we get that slow down feel. Summer is actually my favorite time of year here because the humidity is low and temps are comfortable enough to be outside and it's our dry season. I do miss snow though.
I do love the lighter too but over the sink it does look heavy. It might be too big or just a matter of getting use too. Your place is so cozy and cute
I can’t believe I just discovered you! Was listening to Lisa bass podcast and *Now love your RU-vid channel! Love the meatball and roasted vegetable recipe looks delicious! And I love the hair idea. Thanks for sharing.
I think a smaller lantern would look nice, but I also think using the same light fixture you have in your entryway would look even better and keep the kitchen looking light, clean, airy, and cozy.
I always love your videos. Your cabinet pulls are so pretty. You always inspire with your cooking and your home is such a peaceful place. Many blessing to you and your family!!!
Thanks Andrea for the tips for embracing the grey winter days. I must admit they are not my fave but making every day count is what matters! Love your home it looks so cozy, and I agree about the lantern it is a bit heavy against the cabinetry and feel of the kitchen. I’m sure you will the find the perfect fit for in there, God bless you all! ❤
Maybe an antique brass fixture would be better over the sink. I think it’s the color that makes it seem imposing. Your home looks very cozy and inviting.
I really like plants, real and some of my faux ones that look cute. I do agree it looks so nice and it is a piece of decor to me my plants. I live in tucson Az so we get sunshine pretty much most of the year. Yet January has had more cloudy days this year. I must admit I do not do well in cloudy days. So those of you who live in states where is it is grey more my heart goes out to you if you have a hard time in those seasons. I do agree cheerful pictures and plants do make a big different for sure. You just know how to add the right touches to your home Andrea. I like to see how others decorate.
I personally like the lantern. But, if you aren’t happy with it you could possibly paint it or like you said return it. Your sourdough bread looks so yummy. It makes me want to make it. I am terminally ill and I enjoy watching your videos at night when I can’t sleep due to pain and anxiety. They bring me peace. Thank you for that! Good bless you and your family. 🙏🏼🕊️
I love the winter months, life slows down and I just enjoy !!!! I too will try and bake my sourdough bread in a bread pan !!! Yours looked delicious!!!!
Many of us in keto 11:09 community make oven meatballs &egg bites on our prep day. From LS place them on a drying rack over the pan to avoid the puddles if you care. Elizabeth Also, you lift me up to the Lord so many times.
Thank you so much for this lovely video which has imspired me. Im just getting over a virus after being unwell for two weeks and my mum is in hospital with a fractured pelvis. It's been quite a stressful time. Your video content has inspired me/lifted my spirits. Thank you. ❤
Ciao Andrea mi sono appena iscritta proprio adesso, mamma mia che bella casa hai, adoro i colori e gli oggetti che hai messo, complimenti piano piano i tuoi video me li guarderò tutti, un saluto dall'Italia
Pretty snow! Love all that you shared - many gray days with rain and fog here in SW Ohio! Thinking you may have snow with Easter falling early on the calendar this year! I agree the kitchen light is too heavy, large for the space in your kitchen. A lantern style would be ideal, just smaller in scale than the one you have I think. Your bread and meal look absolutely delicious!💯 💖💖💖💖💖🤗🤗💖🤗❤🌹❤
The meat balls looked delicious. Yes I agree the new light is not blending. It's a beautiful light just to heavy for the space. Have you thought about a wicker type hanging shade? Would definitely be lighter and match your boards and baskets better I think. I just love your vlogs and home decor. I'm really enjoying raosted veggies too this winter. I'm wanting to roast some cabbage and onions this evening that I saw a lady I follow on IG prepare. Have a wonderful week. We don't get snow here in Ga and I couldn't imagine having winters in such cold. I'm longing for Spring bc we have had frigid Temps in Ga this winter. Teens and 20s is not normal for us lol.. 😕
Your food looks delicious ..and I love your curls!! Just wanted to say...starting your sauce is begun with a " roux"...I knew you would want to know the spelling. It's fun to watch you cook and try your recipes. It must be inspiring to cook in that gorgeous kitchen.
Andrea so warm and cozy. I love your home and I really enjoy the recipes that you show. I watched this video last night and I am going today to get my ingredients to make the meatball dinner that you made, that looked so delicious. Thank you for sharing, keep the yummy food and bread coming. Ive never made bread so yours has definitely has made me want to start.
The spaghetti and meatballs look so tasty. Homemade bread smell mummy too. The light fixture above the sink is pretty and to large for the space. If you can exchange it, it'll be better. Oh how I get so scared regarding candles and cats. I just love your home is so cozy with the fireplace.
