Summer Homemaking & THRIFT HAUL + new rhythms with a newborn 

Guys! I’m so sorry. I thought it would be nice to sit outside in our new patio to do the voiceovers for the end of this one, well you can hear so many crickets 😂 I won’t try that again! Hope you can still enjoy this one ❤️

You are amazing with everything you do!!! God bless your sweet baby on his baptism day!❤️

Variety is always good! Thrifting is fun but other topics are encouraging and uplifting as well!

I’m a 73 yo grandma but I love the freshness & smiles that you bring to your daily home life. Looks like you’re doing great & the CS Lewis quote was spot on!

Cassian’s sweet little hand during your thrift haul omg 🥰

I love just listening to you. I'm amazed when you're all wrapped up with your sweet little newborn talking and doing all sorts of things while he quietly sleeps. It's such a sweet picture.

I so love the way in which you describe homemaking. As a stay at home mom for the last 6 years that’s how I think of myself, when really I truly make this house a home for my family each day. I love love love the quotes, bible verses, and book recommendations. Content with content!

You are such an intentional soul. For a young homemaker I have to say I enjoy your videos. I’m sure I didn’t do this well as a new mom and now as a grandmother I have such respect for your skills as a mother and homemaker. Always enjoy your videos. I think I just like to keep up with your life and make sure you are doing well.

Overcoming perfectionism and scarcity mindset would right up my alley! I’d love that ! Mom of two over here and I’m a clean freak and in my head too much .

He's precious Emily🥰 The orangey flowers are ranunculus, I'm pretty sure. Very pretty! Aww the baby pictures are just adorable, the cutest little boys!💙 I love the wreath, its sooo pretty!! That's not A bad price at all! Gideon is being such a big boy, such a great helper! I know you're proud of him just for wanting to help😊 Casean's little pictures at the end are so adorable! I really enjoyed the video..TFS😊

Such a nice video! Your boys are beautiful. I laughed at "things you needed to put some love into". Mama cleaning is different than Daddy cleaning. When I come home from a trip, I can tell how hard my husband worked to make the bed (crooked bedspread), wash the dishes (nope!) and wipe the counters (crumbs everywhere) lol! It's just not right until I do it.

Love the home making videos, and that you are so open about your faith!

I would like to make a suggestion regarding a rug in the front entryway. Maybe get a washable rug so that as it gets dirty it can be thrown in the wash. Secondly, maybe a larger square rug so that covers the majority of the area instead of just in front of the door.

Love the new and old finds ! Decor looks great!😊❤

The home looks beautiful. Please take it easy, give yourself time to heal ❤

Loved the quote! And your thrift hauls were awesome!!! you also inspired me to organize my pantry tomorrow!😂❤

The orange flowers are ranunculus and they are one of my favorites too! Great job chipping away at all the projects. As Dory would say, "just keep swimming". 😊

Emily, I enjoyed this video. I think you have to honor what fits in with your lifestyle at the present time.

Hi Emily I got to watch all of your video in peace . Yay!!! Your baby is so so beautiful, as are your other boys. You got some beautiful things to make your house more beautiful. I think those are poppies..the orange flowers. I used to have them . They came up every year, but one year they did not anymore😢. I did not know you could grow Plumeria in Florida. I am envious. I use that oil scent in my soaps I make. I love the placemats. I found three at an estate sale that I use in the living room on side tables. I went to our closet Goodwill this week . Gosh, someone must have gave them a talk on prices,because their prices went way down. I got two beautiful Home Goods round basket containers with Paris France and the Eiffel Tower in the fronts…they were 3.99 and 4.99…which I thought was good. I am sorry that gorgeous rug did not fit . I really liked it. You will find another one. I hope your Baptism , together is nice. I know it will be since it is you doing it. I love how you prioritize time with your older boys, who are still so young. When we had four foster sons, I had to be pretty organized since I worked full time. I liked to have family dinners, a nice clean house, but I tried to give the boys my time. They were teenagers, but believe it or not, they needed that sometimes more than little children , because they never got that kind of attention from their biological parents. I am not bad mouthing their moms…. Some had serious problems. Take care Emily. Even if a video does not pertain to me I still will watch you. My neighbor who is a young divorced mom of two little girls is one of my best friends. We are years apart but we cherish each other’s friendship. You are a wonderful person. ❤❤❤❤

No need to apologize. Your boys are adorable. You are truly blessed.

You’re doing great! I love design too, and have so much fun watching my design and thrifting videos, including yours :)) so I understand where you are coming from. We all need some down time, so we have the energy for ourselves and family for sure. Congratulations on that beautiful boy!

I love your videos! I think the wreath and the placemats look perfect! Tfs❤

Great video. Beautiful boys. You are doing a great job!

You’re an inspiration!! Congratulations on the grocery trip success 😊

I go to RU-vid to decompress and relax too. Beautifully done EMILY I have my children’s baptism beauties as well as their flowing outfits❤❤

I love how you said that the daily life routines are now "the project". It is so true!!! I have felt this for years and am looking forward to this fall when my youngest will be in school full time and I can get back to the other kinds of projects that I crave and have stored up ideas about for so long. I was so excited to see you switch the books and basket on your entry table. Thanks for taking my suggestion so effortlessly. You are a good listener in this regard which says a lot about you. Onward we go, Emily!

Loved the video

I think the flowers are ranunculus!

Just found your channel, and I absolutely love it! I feel like we have alot in common, the thrifting and our faith. I also like coming to youtube to relax as well. I also have a channel too! Keep up the great work!

Silly home making question, so when you put the snacks in the glass jars, where do you put the extra? I enjoy your videos and love decorating from the stash we already have. God bless you and your sweet little family 🥰

The tile floors look fabulous!! Great work!

Sweetheart, you are just precious. And those adorable little boys. You will have to watch out for all those teenage girls. They will be hovering around like bees to honey. Lol My son was always mature for his age. He had quite a few older friends. But when he was 15, a 16 year old very sweet and pretty girl invited him to her prom. When she pulled up in her sporty car and left with my baby. I bawled after they left. Lol. Your home is looking better and better. And you look terrific! ❤ Thank you for once again, inviting me into your home. HUGS 🙏🌼🌸🌹

Emily I love all your videos!! I alway like your thrifting hauls and homemaking ones however I loved this chatty ditl type too!! I would love more Catholic faith based content too 🙏 I do hope that you all had a blessed day for baby’s Baptism 🙏 May God bless and protect him always 🙏❤️

Felicidades mom. Enjoy those beautiful days. They are ti short.😊

I did not mind the crickets😉

I would say the flowers are ranunclus (that sounds rude but that's the real name for the flowers)

❤😊

Enjoyed 😅

I love that CS Lewis quote! Mind sharing where you found it?

Love you videos!! May I ask what face powder you were putting on in the beginning of the video? Is it powder foundation? Thanks and Blessings Raindown!!

Hi sweet Emily I have been so busy and my brother and his wife was here. I tried to watch this video and wow that dress is gorgeous on you . Your baby is precious. Anyhow, I am taking over a ministry for the Catholic Church we go to and I was getting texts from a lady who had the ministry. My husband needed to work today so then he called me. He asked what I was doing. I said well trying to watch a pre- Baptism. Do you have time to watch anyone on Utube.. Kristen Hopkins is a good Christian girl married to a minister. They are getting ready to have her fourth baby girl and was getting her house ready for company for an older daughter’s baptism. Ok , I will watch this over when I can watch in peace. ❤❤❤

Such sweet boys.
