WEEKEND IN THE LIFE | beach day, little library makeover, & nursery prep! 

Who else agrees that Allison is one of the sweetest persons ever? "A warm hug", that's a great way to describe your channel! I just love coming here! You're the only RU-vidr/content creator who has and always been authentic 🤍 Love how vulnerable you are and never fail to remind us that we are all human 🥹 I hope you’re doing well! Congrats for 396 subs 🎉

Good morning! My name is Natalie, I live far from you, in California. I am 15 years old, and hope to one day go on so many adventures like you, and have a home just as beautiful! I have watched your videos for about three years now. I love to cook, bake, decorate, host, and be creative. Your RU-vid channel brings a smile to my face every time you post. I usually don’t comment on RU-vid channels but I thought why not start today! Anyway even though I don’t know you in person, I hope you have a great day and congratulations on your baby boy!

Awww, Palmer eating watermelon was beyond cute 🥺

cameras, coconut water, coolers, library books, kiddie books for read-alouds and before bed tuck ins, beach, water, the ocean(!), the sun, waves, church, paint, nesting...so enjoyable, so blessed!

Palmer is literally the cutest baby boy pup and I just love him ❤

Pro tip: Hire a photographer to capture painting the nursery!! It is such a sweet photoshoot that I have done and loved the most!🫶🏻

Allison you in the overalls in the nursery! I gasped- you look so gorgeous mama!! I know you'll be such an amazing mother to your beautiful boy!

I really needed this kind of video. Something calm and soothing. Thank you for making this video. Give baby hugs and Palmer kisses for me.

I painted most of my house in soft yellow called Peaceful Calm 3005-2c Valspar. It gives the whole house a warm and cozy feeling. Plus, it goes with everything!

I loved getting to see Palmer enjoy the beach with you. ❤

The Summer I Turned Pretty was SOOO much better in book form than TV. The show really did it a disservice. Highly recommend the book!

I think that Banana Cream color is going to look so good in that space! So soft and warm, cheerful. Can't wait to see when you have a sample of it on the wall. Also, mural?? That is so exciting! It's going to be so fun watching your nursery come together. Sending you sunny summer wishes!

I just want to tell u, thank u for being u! You bring life at another level. Positive vibes, love of nature, inspiration of trying new things. Cooking, smoothies , trying new recipes and so on. It’s just so me. We all have our down moments, but we have to talk to ourselves and to God to give us strength. And watching you just makes it fun, happy and uplifting! I want to thank you both for letting us into your lives. For this beautiful journey with your future little baby boy. You will be wonderful parents. He will be a very lucky boy! Keep doing what you’re doing, cause you do it so well. We love you and wish you all the best to the both of you! Big hugs 🤗 sending positive, healthy vibes your way 😊

Hi Allison! Absolutely loved your summer kick off video. Just a tip regarding the yellow paint (because I painted my room yellow before) go as light as possible, because too saturated of a yellow will reflect off of the walls and cause anyone in the room to look yellow/sickly.

You are my favorite RU-vidr. I love your content. I also love how you welcome each season of the year. The beach day was beautiful.And your new camera setup is phenomenal. I'm so happy for you! Blessings to you and Brandon as you prep for your baby boy.🥰❤

Also, I LOVE your outfit when you’re decorating the baby’s nursery! Such a cute outfit!!

Beautiful beach day, beautiful couple and fur baby!! Can't wait to see the newest addition!! Your room vision sounds amazing!! ❤

I am tickled with happiness ..for you Allison . I’m glad God has gifted you with such a wonderful little blessing❤

Sherwin Williams has a color that is called cream and sugar and it kinda looks like a very pale yellow. It’s so pretty

The close up of palmers face 😍 such a sweet shot

5:59 I love this Ive been wanting to get into photography recently! Thanks for the camera suggestions!!

Sending so much love to all ❤❤❤

I used white and yellow gingham for my sons' crib skirt and curtains with white walls and used blues and greens- as I crossed stitched so may little animals and clowns. Oh those were such sweet days! My sons are 43 and 39 now and we are still very close. You are going to "rock" as a boy mom!!

Painting Color Aide: I am a 38-year art teacher. Take the color that you like and try it with a quart or 25% (or two quarts, 50%, or 3 quarts, 75%) of pigment to one gallon of base at the store, when they make and mix it for you. I typically find that the small color sample, that I choose, seems much darker on the much larger wall. And, the tint down I like much better.

Allison has always made the sweetest vlogs I cannot wait for her to share all these moments with her baby ❤😊

I'm crying so beautiful, I missed this vlogs

I love the combination of blue and yellow together

Love the yellow, such a nice choice💖

Allison you look so beautiful and I love your clothes. I love yellow and both of my sons had yellow in their rooms. It brings back a lot of memories when decorating their rooms. Looking forward to seeing the Nursery all decorated and especially daddy and momma cuddling your precious son. Keep that sweet smile on your face..

You and hubby are the cutest. Video looks great can see difference. Watching since college days . Blessings

It'll always be a great day when Allison post!!! 💕☀

Hi Allison You look so beautiful and have such a lovely glow. I enjoyed this video so much! Your camera is amazing! Love all the features and you film with such a creative eye. I'm so happy for you and Brandon, you are going to be amazing parents. Your baby boy will be so blessed growing up in such a love filled home💖 You are already creating such beautiful moments with your baby, reading to him nightly, so special. The beach day was gorgeous and it looked like everyone had a fabulous time. I can't wait to see the nursery, I know it will be very special. God bless you and your family. Thank you so much for sharing. Have a lovely day 💖🤗👣🥰

Is that hibiscus Pink Ballerina? Babies see yellow first and need that for their development. When I was little, our parents took us to Sarasota and we played shuffleboard on the beach one night about 1 a.m. while a plumber fixed something at the house. I will never forget the breeze off the Gulf or the smell. I wanted to live my life there but my mom took us out west after my dad died. You are so lucky to live there.

So true on the Gulf water being like bath water! Anna Maria is our favorite beach spot

Such a beautiful video, beautiful life and beautiful family! You make motherhood look magical already my dear!

Glorious vlog Allison, your bump is just the cutest. Beach days are the best at this time of year🌞🏖. My dog Rambo sadly died on Friday so I've been so upset this weekend but your vlog was exactly what I needed to cheer me up. Thank you for being so sweet, hugs💛!

Relax, me esta cuidando♥️

I came across your channel a couple of months ago and I absolutely love watching your content. They're always so calm and serene. Canon is the best. I've been using their cameras and lenes for years. Those shots you took look amazing; especially at the beach. Those shades of yellow are so beautiful.

What a beautiful weekend! I also chose yellow for a nursery and went through so many trials until I found the one that was perfect. I kept telling my husband it was too pale but then when it was on all the walls it turned out to be the perfect soft yellow. It's Benjamine Moore Windham Cream from their Historical Colors collection. I'm sure what ever you choose will be fantastic like the rest of your beautiful decorating jobs.

Loveddd this vlog, Allison! So sunshiny, comforting, inviting. Smiling watching your vlog. You look amazing in your dress and overalls. So glowy and gorgg! Excited for your little ray of magic and sunshine on the way God willing, and may your pregnancy keep going smooth and full of ease. Lots of love and congrats a ton x youre going to be all things love and amazing as a mom. 🤍🤍🌸

We like light walls, and we went with the banana cream. It ended up turning out looking like way too much color for US. What we would do in the future is choose a white that has a little bit of a yellow tint to it. We like the banana cream. It’s nice and light and distinctly yellow. We didn’t change it because I still liked it. If I were you I would do the banana cream if you are wanting yellow. The other colors seem kind of loud, but everyone is different and I can’t wait to see what you come up with!

Aloha, I have been watching your video and so uplifting. Your smile puts a smile on your face and just makes me ❤happy.

Allison! I’m dying to know where your overalls are from! So precious with your bump😍

Your little library is so cute! 🥰

Hello dear, it's incredible how we can like and identify with someone without ever having seen them and being aware of our differences.🥰 Thank you for sharing, I love that we're at the same stage Pregnant women with boys due date in August. Never lose this sweetness and transparency 😘 kisses from Portugal

I love your baby glow! Select a lighter shade of the yellow hue you like best. It will be perfect!

Yes, soak up every moment this summer my sweet friend and savor these last days just you and Brandon (and Palmer!) I'm 3 months postpartum and WOW what a whirlwind. No matter how present you try to be, once your baby arrives time truly flies and it's quite an adjustment. It's not easy, but it is so worth it. Rest, relax, and enjoy each and every little thing before life is forever changed. This is your metamorphosis ✨🩵🦋

Oh my goodness ,I love the yellow color. I'm so excited for little one to debut. You are so sweet to do the library to share reading. Did you buy the library building or buy it? Allison , your giving and kind heart to share, you will be a remarkable mom. Love you guys and Palmer.

A beautiful video as always! The quality of the new camera footage is incredible! 😍🩷

With yellow walls it really depends on how much sun the room gets. Both my living room and bedroom are yellow and the bedroom gets sun in a way it makes the color several tones darker than just the paint test looked😅It doesnt bother me enough to redo it but just a heads up.

I think the lighter banana cream would go the best with blue ,but you know best,it looked like palmer had his best day on the beach eating watermelon 🍉, so cute❤😊

Glad you're back I was concerned that we didn't hear from you last week also that flower is so beautiful that you showed

The little typo off the top 🤭 refreshing to know that even a pro like Allison makes mini editing mishaps! It’s a struggle for me!

Hey hope you are well! ❤ the baby’s nursery looks adorable!

Lovely video. Your new camera gives great shots.

Omg the new camera amazing looks so 4K + ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Love the video and thank you for sharing tips with the camera.😊

Wonderful as always ❤🎉😊

Omg! I have the exact same cooler! Ha! Luv it! You are looking gorgeous and happy!

You do exactly how you’re supposed to do samples! Lol my struggle is I have to use the entire paint sample and make as big of a piece as possible because it’s hard for me to imagine with a tiny little square😂 I almost painted our entire kitchen one time with a paint sample in my husband came in questioning my sanity. But I told him I couldn’t tell if I liked it or not without doing that. 🤣

Be careful with yellows. It is beautiful but I never slept worse than when I painted my bedroom yellow. It’s such an energizing color. I didn’t sleep fully through the night until I repainted.

Loved the vlog!

Wow the camera quality 🤩

Treasure your slow moments

Ahhh your little library is so cute! I wish I could do this in my neighbourhood but I'll end up with no books left in mine 🥲

Look at you glowing! 🤗 i love all your videos! And your garden is my dream!! Also can you share the name of your nail polish?! I love your nails color!

Hello from Canada! Your vlogs are a breath of fresh air! Wondering where you get the mug at the beginning of today’s vlog??

Hello 😊 love your content, May I ask where you bought your coffee cups? They are so adorable And I totally agree, you are a sunshine

Where is the stuffed animal from? It’s so cute!!

I think the banana creme is a much better choice!😊

The darker yellows are good because when your son gets older you won't need to repaint. You can always use lighter shades of yellow in the room with bedding, window treatments, furniture, etc. God bless you, Allison. (I tend to watch a lot of "current events" videos and it's always so great to watch your cheerful, life-affirming videos!)

xomacenna just had her baby boy and Kristin Hoffman will soon have her 4th baby girl, both here on youtube.

I'm a new subscriber and I love your adventures and your home quick question what's the name of the watch your husband wears I like it

I think the peach tickle is still too bright. You had a soft shade of yellow that was much lighter on the sample. I think that'd be perfect. Yellow can be so harsh, n honestly, with all the sunlight would hurt my eyes. Banana cream is the name of the color ❤

Agree🎉❤she’s the best ❤the videos ❤

I look for a new video from you everyday ... first channel I visit ... Always uplifting and inspiring ... light, bright and cheery ... Could you share a source for your mug please? ... Thanks ~~

Allison! You look lovely as always ♥️ Also, curious, is this the same camera you use for your instagram reels? Loving the new definition on your videos

I wonder if birds were messing with your net.

The time is almost here😭💙 🤰👶

what part of FL is this? i live in the Orlando area but this looks 10 times prettier than any beach i’ve been to!

Could Palmer be a zootherapy dog?

well that was a long Canon ad..

Is Palmer a cuddly dog?

Whats your favorite country to visit?

Hey ALLISON , very good video . I can do better editing in your videos which can help you to get more engagement in your videos . Pls lmk what do you think ?

I miss the old youtube without all the sponsored videos 😥

Good day to you, Allison, I was concerned that you had uploaded a video and I was praying for you and Brandon and the baby! But I’m sure this is a very busy time for you and you have to take time for yourself your husband and of course, taking care of that sweet little boy that you were caring And preparation for a new baby especially the first one is a task! Enjoy this new season that you were fixing to embark upon motherhood is such a gift from God and take one step at a time one season if it’s just for one day in the life of being a mother and watching that sweet little boy grow up.blessings to you and Brandon as you are preparing and nesting, enjoy each day and you are so loved you have so much self-worth and you are so important because you belong to Jesus Christ

Loved this video and the beach shots!! Continued blessings for you, Brandon and your son!!

Love their little family, of course, including Palmer.❤😊

Looooved the overalls outfit, your hair and earrings! Looked so good!!

Lovely vlog again. Definitely relax this summer.. after the baby is there you will be tired, exhaused and not have time to yourself for a while.. so if being at the beach "fills your cup," go there as much as you can... that can be a good place to go with the baby to. My kids were out travelling from birth and loved dreamy days at the beach..probably because that is my "happy place" and I immediately relax when there..and babies "sense" your emotions! My kids had white walls, like the whole house (I love Scandinavian style). This has never needed repainting..then I use BIG pictures and framed prints and soft furnishings to add colour. These are constantly changing as my boys grow.. eg Winnie the Poo (which was yellow colors for my oldest son as a baby-toddler) and Wickie the Wiking (which was blue colors for my second son as a baby- toddler). They both moved on to the movie Cars (red), then my oldest went on to Star Wars (black) and my youngest is into Minecraft (green). At 14 my oldest went white/grey/green and "adult" style (no "motto"). Can't wait to see what style my yongest son develops after Minecraft is "out." (I am secretly sad the "motto" style will soon come to an end. Then "childhood" is over).

Dearest Allison, I have been subscribed to your channel since the very beginning, 2018. You are truly so very beautiful from the heart. You are pure sunshine in human form. You radiate unconditional kindness and love. You are a tangible reminder that this life is the most precious gift and to live each moment to the absolute fullest. You inspire me in so many ways, especially in all things Jesus. It has been such a joy watching you step into motherhood. Your sweet baby boy is already so very deeply loved beyond measure by many. I pray that the Lord pours unconditional laughter, joy, warm sunshine and magical moments in every corner of your beautiful home. Sending you, Brandon, Palmer and your sweet baby so much love. 🕊💛

Yay! Thank you for sharing with us, I already know this will be such a joy!! Can’t believe how fast your pregnancy is flying by 🥹
