Welcome back!!!

Missed you!! Was so happy to see a video from you. Hope your healthy and well! X

Ahh I missed you, glad you are doing well. I LOVE that you included the plant casualty in this update lol. RIP Bob!

I'm so glad you're back! I was just looking yesterday to see if you had uploaded a video and I somehow missed it so it's funny you uploaded one today explaining where you've been!

You are awesome and inspiring!...my husband and I got really into minimalism because of your videos :-) have a great Easter and I wish you lots of luck with your home searching and sale...

sooooo happy to see you are back. I have been missing you all and thinking about you . I have kept you all in my prayers. I am now and forever a proud member of the pfled pfam

I'm soooo glad and happy that y'all are back!!! I've missed you y'all so much! Having that time to yourself is important and much needed. Excited to see the vlog on the other channel! Missed seeing the girls and you and Ryan! Love the Easter Baskets.

Love seeing you back on RU-vid!

OMG, I’m so glad to see you and your coming future vlogs! I missed you guys like crazy. You guys were my first RU-vidrs to watch. I’m so excited and I followed you on your TikTok. I’m in heaven hearing you sing. We’re quarantine too, we’re doing good

Yaaaay🤗 I've been watching u 5 years🙂 we missed u too welcome back❤

Glad you took a well deserved break from social media but SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU BACK! Hope you're doing better and feeling better! This quarantine has messed with all of us but at least I'm getting to spend time with my hubby before baby arrives in the middle of the pandemic!

Glad to see you back but glad you took the break you needed! ❤️ I’m good over here. Teaching from home is very strange but it’s given me lots of time to prepare for our baby girl who will be here in July!

Good to see you back! I’ve missed your videos. The Not a Nugget book is so neat! Definitely a good way to teach kids. Ive never tried boxing before but I always thought that a punching bag looked so fun.

Glad to know your taking care of your mental health but have missed you and your family so much!

I’m so glad you’re back! I love watching your videos. I’ve been wondering how you guys have been doing through this. It’s such a strange time! I have 2 daughters about the same age as yours! I think they’re enjoying extra mom time because normally I work full time as a preK teacher. We’re in KY. We’re so blessed to have a good governor who has shut things down before it got really bad. We don’t know if we will be back for the end of the year though. It’s still up in the air. So there’s a chance I might not see my kiddos in my class before they go to kindergarten.

I’m glad you took a break that you needed! Quarantine hasn’t been too bad, but yesterday it hit me that my depression is definitely showing itself, being in an mood where everything annoys me, not having motivation to do online school work, etc. I’ve also been using this quarantine as an excuse to get Dunkin’ more often, which I’m going to try and stop, starting today. I got cold brew in my fridge and coffee creamer and I bought some Apple cinnamon oatmeal and English muffins. I’m sorry that you had a repressed memory come up ♥️ That is not fun. I hope you’re doing well and coping healthily!

Missed you like crazy hope you start posting regularly. My son school is out for the year. But we are just fine keep my friend Tajsheena in your prayers still I told Ryan about her on IG live stories but she is doing well. Hugs to you and your family.

sorry I didn't finish what I was trying to say...soooo glad to hear you are doing ok. I suffer from severe depression and anxiety so all of this isolation is really difficult for me. I am so blessed to have a loving and supportive hubby or I don't think I would be able to keep going. On a side note, I have really missed seeing your parents and Ryans too of course. I hope they are all well also

My mom does something similar. She gets us either an outfit or something we need/have wanted for a while. This year we all got matching shirts.

Oohh...i missed you and your family so much .....glad you uploaded a video❤️❤️❤️

Let’s hop into this ;)

I really enjoy your tictoc. I am one of those plant people. I am hanging in there but depression is there. It is great seeing your videos.

Love those books

Glad you're back! Some good stuff in my life...I'm back to making cricut crafts, including service dog decals. If you want some of those for grayson let me know! I'm an essential worker which is both a blessing and a curse. And my SDIT is coming home from board and train soonish.

Yep that is how it is here in Illinois , we call it ghost state. So happy to see you again. Ihave all the same health issues and more like you , and I use a crutch when i have a hard time on stairs

Glad to see you’re back! this social distancing is making me loose my mind. It’s been amazing to see all the positivity and generosity of people and businesses and try new experiences virtually because of the generosity of others. It’s been so cold still and somehow we still have 3 feet of snow, so being locked up inside is making my kids crazy and thus me.

In Oklahoma we have scattered about for shelter in place and social distancing. My husband is still working but it’s definitely scary with him being high risk. Homeschooling kids now is so much more difficult than I ever imagined lol.

I’m so happy to see you. ❤️. We are ok here in Maine. I lost my preschool class for the rest of the year. I get it but I miss them so much. My son is here online schooling he’s out for the rest of the year too. I have anxiety anyway ( this is so hard anyway ) and I’ve been doing yoga via zoom and using the calm app. Also church online. So all those things are a plus out of this whole mess. ❤️

Bob count.... 15 within two minutes lol. Nice to see you back, glad you all are doing well.

We listed our old house 3 weeks ago, someone made an offer the very next day in which we accepted 24hrs after it was sent to us. The girl who is buying is has had her realtor, herself, her daddy and who knows who else go to the house during all of this. Which I think is crazy! Not to mention there was 3 or 4 small things she wanted done before closing, so my husband and his dad has had to go over there to do that. We was supposed to close today actually but its pushed to the 24th. I am SO IMPATIENT🤣 I haaaaaate dealing with buying and selling houses. I keep saying this is gonna be the last house we buy or sell until we're old and the girls arent living here. Its exhausting! So glad you're back! 🖤

I'm in Scotland and ordering groceries is much the same - booked out for weeks. We're from a town where everythings within walking distance so we're just getting what we need when we need every few days and making that our exercise to minimise how often we go out. Everyone here is panicking thinking ordering online will guarantee they'll get what they're looking for but a) it doesn't and b) I'd rather leave the online slots for more vulnerable people who aren't able to get out to the shops for whatever reason. I'm glad your family are safe and well - our 3rd child was born in January so we're just trying to look at this as bonding time for her 😊 she's very happy to have her daddy and big brother's home. My oldest was supposed to be starting school in August but things are very uncertain - he's autistic so his pre-school were doing an 'extended transition' to make the process as smooth as possible for him and I'm feeling horribly guilty that that's been taken from him, but ultimately just trying to focus on all the positives that I can - I'm so grateful that we can all be together and that we're all safe. Best wishes 🌼

My husband and sister in law have ehlers danlos as well and some days can just be so rough! My husband just turned 22 and is so bad he can no longer work (and no disability pay). It’s hard watching him be in so much pain knowing there’s really not much that can be done. I hope you are doing well!

1. I'm so proud of you. You are doing a great job. What you ate working through takes so much courage, and to share it so openly takes even more confidence. You're killing it. 2. 100% agree. Our house isn't huge, but my palsy makes keeping up with the whole house and all its space very difficult. We need to downsize as well but in the same boat, no buying right now. 3. This social distancing is something I've been living for 5 years. My disability means I can't drive so we actually don't go anywhere unless my husband is home. Sunday was the 1 day a week the girls and I left the house. Now that's not happening and although I'm used to it, it is harder for the girls. It's harder not to shout "This isolation you can't handle is my daily life and this is why I've been so desperate for friendship...I wasnt making up how mentally difficult it is!" 4. I finally posted my first intentional content video to my channel. Getting started was harder than I thought. I MISSED YOU!! SO GLAD YOU'RE BACK!!!

I have been in recovery due to having to have brain surgery on March 24th. So I have been dealing with all of that as well as my mental health and working with my family to get through everything together.

In Ohio real estate and insurance and home inspections are in the essential business category. Lots of sells right now

Not a Nugget..awe.. :*( I wish I knew about books like this when my kids where young.

I always added a toothbrush in the Easter baskets and their Christmas stockings. I love those books you got the girls! Welcome back, your girls are growing up so fast! Social distancing is about to do me in. I live alone, in a wheelchair, with the closest family member being 4 states away. I'm so bored. I miss getting together with my friends and playing cards or board games, or going out to dinner. I'm on the computer constantly now because...did I mention...I'm BORED...and I swear the constant online thing does give me company, but it's frying my eyes. I need paper towels, toilet paper and tissues. But I can't get out. GRRRR. I have many underlying health issues, plus I'll be 67 next week, so I'm under strict STAY HOME orders from my doctor. I want this COVID-19 to just go away!!!!

First off welcome back!! I have missed watching you but I do follow you on instagram. Do we have the same builder? Lol our current home isn’t what was advertised as all. We had a ton of issues with leaks, and the air conditioning, our home was also being built to be the sample home so I think that’s why they were so lazy. I want to move so bad, I want land and to not be under an hoa that doesn’t cover everyone in our neighborhood.

Do you guys have the Joanna Gaines book, We Are The Gardeners. It’s super cute!

Nice to see you! This has been a very interesting time. I have a lot of thoughts, many of which are not politically correct lol. My kiddos are almost-6 and 3. Some days we are definitely losing our minds. We are in Michigan and we have had some beautiful days but also a mix of cold days as well. Yesterday was about 70 but today the high is 44 😩 it’s really hard when we can’t get outside. This too shall pass....I hope 🙏🏻

I get organic vegan candy from Walgreen's. It's expensive ($3-4), but for a rare treat it's worth it. Especially when you're able to just pop in and out.

Missed you so!!!! Will have to figure out instagram!!!

We are beginning to struggle now and my 2 year old unfortunately doesn't understand why she's not allowed to go play at the park because she has the virus xx

Doing well I hate not being able to go alot of places and worried I have asthma hate it wish the lock down will end soon hurting out income havent been paid in 3 weeks 😕 since we had to shut alot down. I'm in Indiana

Hello Arianna I’ve been following so I know somewhat of what’s going on when you when you post on your Instagram or Instastories. So you wanna know what’s going on with us? So about 4 week and 2 day it’s been going on, now about but 3 weeks and 2 days ago was our March break! The week of March 16 we learned a little bit more about this corona/ COVID-19 stuff. We only knew a little bit but then it started getting serious we found out that once the kids had their March break which is your Spring Break we were given two extra weeks thinking OK will be back to school after the 2 extra weeks? That gave the kids a grand total of three weeks off which was like OK cool this all blew over nope that wasn’t the case things got more serious. I didn’t understand what the whole deal was with toilet paper and water especially when we went into the grocery stores everything was fine for a bit until they got serious And things were being taken off the shelves people were basically hoarding certain things there were stories about people getting things stolen from their cars and people fighting and just all kinds of not so nice things happening which we didn’t need. We know have the social distancing 6 feet apart and when we go to Walmart we have to stand where they have tape off where to stand and then they’re letting people in after so many minutes of waiting in line. Some days the line is small like it was this week on Tuesday when we got out the line was getting bigger and then some stores had crazy lines that we’ve seen. OK crazy to the point that it’s like halfway out to the road up and around corners that kind of crazy we seen some in person which weren’t too bad but the ones we seen online wow. But besides the shopping stores online is all backed up as well. We’ve been told to stay home as much as possible and only go out for essentials if you need to go to a doctors appointment or if you need to go to the drugstore or to get food food regarding groceries and if you want to get takeout you can get your takeout and either eat it in your car or bring it home. We are also being advised to do online orders like skip the dishes Uber eats that etc. We are also told to help small businesses to help keep those flowing. Now were able to go out and take walks but if you take a walk social distancing from other people if you see anybody keep your distance and then right back home. Where I live we have also started issuing fines for people who are not listening or following the rules one person decided to pull the biggest stupidest thing ever and that was it let’s just have a party in backyard party 20 people or so so that person is being issued a ticket it has to go to court. All parks in certain areas are roped off you were not allowed to be on the school property or near any parks. On the other side of this we’ve been following the news not every day but when there’s a big media conference we are following to find out what’s going on. I’m doing OK today because today is Thursday and I’m about to finish getting started with my day and pay some bills and make sure everything’s good for this week. I am very thankful that my husband is still working and this week he gets good Friday off and he’s also seen on the schedule that he gets Monday off which is awesome since he’ll get a nice long weekend. His days were supposed to be Tuesday but things got changed in the beginning they had given him a week off so what was happening was it was supposed to be work one week get the second week off work one week get the second week off then things got changed and his day was Tuesday so he had his first Tuesday off work the rest of the week and then got told that his day now is Mondays. So we’re not gonna complain and he is finishing up his second week of afternoons. So as I would hear something on the news, somebody would say something or I’d see things online I would be just a wreck about this whole situation. It’s giving me time to keep on top of things like we are very blessed and very lucky at this time that we are able to do laundry during the day on a normal day if everything was back to normal! We wouldn’t be able to do laundry till after 7pm during Monday to Thursday it’s 7pm at night till 7am in the mornings. Friday it’s 7pm at night till 7am in the morning on Monday and then holidays were able to do same thing all day long as weekends. The reason for this is because we have smart metres here for our Hydro and our Water now water is just water we try not to use as much as we don’t need but we don’t pay for water for 3 months at a time so that’s a good thing and when you sign up for water here where we live they ask you how many people are living in your home so that if anything is out of the ordinary or unusual they will know by what you’ve registered and signing up for water. Other than that I’m just trying to keep up with day-to-day tasks and following things on Facebook and Instagram and doing some stories and just watching the on RU-vid video here and there. I have videos on my channel, I have one that I wanna work on and hopefully put up soon. I did lose my job! I am a full-time babysitter to my neighbours daughters they live with their Nana, mom, dad and two dogs.The girls parents are still able to work as they work in a nursing home/ retirement community their mom is a cleaner as dad is in maintenance. So it’s very blessed to hear that they’re able to still be able to work. Now they just announced that everyone that works in a nursing home no matter where it is in Ontario and in Canada they are being mandatory to be screened to see if they have a virus or are a carrier. We’ve also started online school which started this past Monday as things are going well for my 15-year-old daughter. It’s been really hard on her not being able to you know hang with her friends fully, she wants to go back to school but we’ve gotten into a groove were we are actually enjoying this and she’s really is enjoying doing this homeschool on online where she can work at her pace and take as long as she needs for her classes that she has for that day and get work she needs to complete done. But thank you for sharing this video and clarifying some news that some of us may have wanted to know like you clarified about the move. Great Easter baskets for the girls and hopefully will see you in another video and other than that I’m going to get to this Thursday going so you have a great day or night Whenever you see this.

You don’t homeschool anymore ??

Here in central IL, Walmart is pretty much back to normal, minus cleaners and paper products. If we are going to place an order for pick up, we have to do so at midnight for the next day (tonight for Friday). Have not tried Target and sadly have not been to my happy place in 4 weeks. We are getting hit harder then our neighboring counties and have someone in our family who is high risk so I limit exposure to 1 time a week and TRY to do pick up then clean everything when we get it home.

I know you had talked about it a long time ago but I’m curious if you guys still carry/ own guns in general

But the important question: are you guys good on toilet paper? 😂

I don’t get it, why did your husband buy the house you’re at but now you want to sell it? Wouldn’t it have been easier to just buy one house and have that be your forever home? The house you’re in seems perfect. Either way, glad to see you’re back. Your mental health is Always More Important!

I feel like your indoctrinating your kids to think it’s wrong to eat meat. It is not wrong, it’s a personal choice. What’s wrong is animal cruelty. But animals are not human. They eat each other brutally and have no rules for what’s humane, so why can we not eat them. God gave us animals for our enjoyment. Wether it be a pet or a delish steak. I understand more intelligent human relating animals are harder to eat. For example, I don’t think eating a dog or horse etc is right unless it was your last option When starving. But those also are not really animals designed for meat. Raising your kids to think animals are not for food is going against Gods will, he makes it clear that it is one of the sources of food. And throughout history meat was how people survived when they didn’t have pistachios and imports of avocados at their fingertips for healthy fat. Just please don’t participate in a generation who think meat is murder. I’m sorry you suffer from ptsd, and being sensitive to animal cruelty is a great thing, it means you have a heart. But there is a proper way to eat meat, and it isn’t evil.

Missed you!! Was so happy to see a video from you. Hope your healthy and well! X
