Life Update 

Coming back to this following the announcement of Melanie’s passing. Keeping your family in my thoughts and praying so hard for your happiness and healing. Sending love from Canada❤️xx

Thank you for this update! Praying for your sister and family. What a tough season. I’m so touched by your honesty and how you authentically shared about your life right now. It’s refreshing to see someone who isn’t click-baiting or overdramatic, you are just sharing what’s going on and giving us the opportunity to pray and partner with you. Thanks! I’m looking forward to possible new videos, but I also hope you can have lots of family time during this holiday season. Merry Christmas!

I have been following you for SO many years and have loved watching every phase of your life. I too have 2 young children and life has never been busier with everything going on. I get it, hang in there, you're not alone! We'll be here always supporting you and excited to watch your videos whenever you get the chance to post. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family during this difficult time. ❤

I discovered Melanie through your channel and have followed her for years. She taught me how to sew. I've been thinking about her a lot lately since she's been away from social media since her last health update. I wish all of you the best. It truly breaks my heart to think that she is going through so much.

Dearest Rachel, sending you and your family lots of love & light✨🤍✨

Melanie has been such a huge inspiration to me for years she taught me how to crochet and sew. I’ve subscribed to you for years as well. Sending prayers and healing vibes ♥️♥️♥️

So sorry to hear about your sister in law. I will be praying for her and the entire family. 🤍 sending lots of positive vibes. ✨

I discovered Melanie thru your Channel, and she's just a beautiful person, breaks my heart to know what she and the family are going thru. I will keep her in my daily prayers!🙏 Also, I've been wanting to learn how to sew, so I will watch her tutorials. Sending prayers and blessings to her, you & family.🙏

I'm so sorry to hear about your SIL melanie! putting her on my prayer list! The boys are getting so big! Where does the time go? Don't stress about getting a video up. This is a stressful time for all of us as our world goes through so many changes.

Hey Rachel, Been following for so so many years. I feel like you are the friend that you catch up with every once in a while and it feels like you can pick things up right where we left them. Life is extremely difficult and busy right now. This season of family and kids is no joke. We get it. Family first. We will be here.

I've probably watched your videos for about 5 years now I think.. Love all your diy and spa like videos. And to see the farm, your plants and animals. Just a really calm and soothing vibe. Let's hope 2022 will be a much better year for Melanie as well!

Rachel I have watched you for seven years and I have always admired you and always been inspired by you. You have been so authentic and genuine in all your videos. I am praying for your sister and her beautiful family. Focus on things that are a priority right now. We love you and always be here for you.

Love you Rachel! The world is scary and stressful at times. I can really relate. Sending you and your beautiful family so much love, light and many many prayers for your beautiful sister in law! 💙🙏💙

Sending love and sympathy. I am so sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry to hear Melanie passed away. I’ve watched her tutorials over the years as recommended by you. I’m thankful you all have been a support system for each-other. I can’t imagine going through this with my siblings but I understand how destructive and dark dying with cancer can be. We lost my sweet grandma to cancer and it was hard to remember the good times after seeing her deteriorate before our eyes. She will always have a special place in my heart.

Aww we have missed you but completely understandable for what you and your family are going through! I have just listened to your song on Spotify and it is so touching! Beautiful! Xx

Can’t wait for the new videos! Praying for your sweet family!

Much love to you and your family through this challenging season. I have a baby niece who has leukaemia and I can empathize with your situation. I am so glad to hear that you’re taking the time to focus on what is truly important in life, and that is being with your family. Take care ❤️

Thank you Rachel! We have grown up together and I have 2 boys now too :) you have always been them most humble and relatable person.

I so admire people who find the time to get beautiful family photos taken🥰Brings so much joy!❤️Will pray for you and your family✨

Been a subscriber for years and love your content and you as a person . Sending prayers to your sister in law and family 🙏❤

So nice to see you, it’s ok to take time off, especially what your family is going through. I will pray for her, and all involve in her life. Your such a sweet person, and I love following you and Byron. You both bring so much to my life. Thank you, and take care.😘🌻👏

I feel like I have grown up with you and i always look forward to your videos! I like how hoonest you are and stay true to yourself. I like how your videos reflect how you have grown and your interest and focus with it. You are very inspirational 💕

First! I am so sorry for what is happening to your family! Wish you guys all the best of luck! Take your time spending time with your family. 🙂

No matter the season of life you're in - I personally as a follower of many years, will continue to love and adore your videos and updates! Frequently or not frequently! Your sister-in-law is so beautiful. I'll pray for your family because that is such a battle! You are strong and clearly your whole family must be! Keep doing what you do girl!

Rachel, I’ve been watching your videos for 9+ years! I feel like it’s a treasure and treat to see whatever you are creating and sharing. You are so inspiring and I’ve learned a lot from you. From planning for road trips, to yummy crock pot meals, to pamper routines, and essential oils, and now gardening! I feel like you are a sister in the Lord! I can see your heart for your sister and it’s beautiful. I am praying for her and the whole family. It’s been a hard year for our family. I lost both my mom and stepmom within a year. Just know you are loved by the King of Kings and have a whole lot of others who support and pray for you and your family! Bless you this Christmas season! 🤍

Saw the news today and I am very sorry for your loss. Sending love and peace.

So sorry to hear about Melanie's passing. My prayers are with you all in this difficult time

Your videos are so inspiring and gives me peace when I watch them! I love learning from you how to make all those home made skincare. But above all of that I love your sweet genuine personality and you have a special spot in my heart with your videos!🥰❤So sorry you and your family going trough this hard time sending you big hugs and much love. Now I'm back to finish watching your video but I wanted to let you know how much I love your channel Rachel!🥰❤

Melanie was such a blessing for me. I’ve learned so much from her❤️ My heart felt condolences to you and the family for your loss.

Thank you for sharing. I used Melanie’s videos to learn to quilt last year. She gifted us so well with her knowledge and talents. My prayers rise for you and your family to receive peace and comfort from God our Father.

I am so sorry your entire family is going through this. I know exactly how you feel. My very strong mother was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer this summer and I am her caregiver and its so hard to see the ones we love go through this battle. I think you have done the right thing. It is so important to be present for Melanie and her family. You will be in my prayers. We will be here when you come back. Excited to see your upcoming content in the New Year

Take care. Praying for all of you. I am new to your channel. You do inspire me. Thank you.

Thanks for the update, Rachel! We'll be patient for your posts - as a fellow young mama, I know how important it is to be present with your family in the ebb and flow of each day. Praying for your sister - my daughters want to learn more about handcrafts, so we'll probably watch some of her videos together. :) Much love!

Love your videos whether you post once a month or once every six months. Praying for your family & SIL.

Prayers for your sister in law and your family. So nice to see a video from you !

When you showed the pictures of your sweet smiling sister, my heart just ached. I have followed her on RU-vid for years and she taught me how to sew! I made her boxed makeup bag as one of my first sewing projects. I miss her videos and my heart just hurts for you all. I'm sure it's a huge blessing to her to have you so close. I am praying for you all ❤️

You are my total comfort channel and I respect your honesty and rawness and how you handle this! Will always be here ❤️

I’ve been in a very similar season all around, I’ll be here waiting always ❤️ praying for you all 🙏🏻

Praying for you sweet classy lady❤️🙏🏻Watched you for years now and I’m praying for your sweet family.

You are so inspiring. You seem like such a real, genuine down to earth person, amazing mother and wife and sister etc etc. I don’t typically follow mommy vlogger type channels but you have a different energy. I’m looking forward to your Winter content 💙 Sending positive vibes and well wishes to your sister in law and family 💕

Lots of love to you and your family. Take care❤️

Praying for you and your family. Wishing a happy holiday season. God is with you mama. ♥️

Rachel, you have always spoken so highly of Melanie though the years and my heart dropped at the news of her cancer. I will most definitely keep her and your family in my prayers 🙏🏻

Thank you for your video. I always feel more peaceful when I watch your videos. Sorry to hear about what your family is going through. I will be praying.

Our family appreciates, and love and support you. You are brave.

I’ve been watching your videos for years- before you had your boys! I look up to you as a woman and a mother. You are a little older than me, so watching you go through seasons of your life makes me excited to reach them myself! Your family, especially your sister in law, is in my prayers. ❤️

I love Melanie’s channel sending lots of love prayers and positive energy 💕🙏💕
