Thank you so much! 🤗 He truly is a blessing, and I'm grateful for his support on this journey. 💕 I appreciate your kind wishes for the channel-your encouragement means a lot! ✨

Thank you for taking the time to share; it means so much to me. 🤗 It can be so hard to open up about personal struggles, but knowing this resonated with you makes it all worth it. May the Lord be with you and lift you up!🙏🥰

Hello! Thank you for such an insightful and encouraging comment-it really means a lot. 🤗 It’s so validating to hear that the silence resonated with you. I wasn't sure whether to leave that part in or not; it's kind of awkward getting that vulnerable with random strangers on the world wide web. Content creation is definitely no small task, but knowing there are supportive people like you out there makes it feel worthwhile. 💖 Your advice to build at my own pace and stay true to my community is such a great reinforcement. It’s easy to get caught up in data, but focusing on creating meaningful content is where the real joy is. Wishing you tons of success on your own journey, too!💪

@@simplyambermarie Thanks very much!

Thank you! 🤗🥰 You’re so right. It definitely takes a lot of dedication and patience to grow on TH-cam, but every step forward feels like a little victory! 🥳

Hey Sarah! That’s so exciting-homemade recipes are the best! It’s such a satisfying and natural way to care for your home. 🏡💖 Thanks so much for watching and for your kind words, as always! 🥰

Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your feedback! 🤗 Over the years, I've heard a few comments about me being a soft speaker, and you’re right-it might be time to invest in a better mic. I’ve just always used my phone mic, so this would definitely be an upgrade! I’m so glad you enjoy the content, and I truly appreciate you sticking with me as I work on improvements like this. Your support means so much! Wishing you all the best, too! 🌟🥰

Hey Sarah! 💛 Thank you so much! 🤗 I’m loving the creative, personal touch DIY art adds-it’s worth the frustration! And yes, those desk slots are a lifesaver for organizing! 😄 Always so happy to see your comments-you’re the best! 🥰xo

Thank you so much! 🌱 It’s great to know my video popped up for you! This journey is such a learning experience, and every bit of support means a lot. So glad you’re here with me! 🤗

Thanks for the tip! 🙌 I’ll definitely have to try Borax to get that extra-clean finish! So helpful-appreciate you sharing! 🤗

SARAH, hey there!!! 🤗🥰 You’re absolutely right; every journey is so unique, and the thumbnail struggle is real! Putting in a lot of thought and effort-those little details definitely make a difference. Thank you so much for the kind words and encouragement! 💖 There really is a space for all of us, and I’m so glad we’re in this together! xo

Thank you so much for the kind words! 🌟 I really appreciate your support and encouragement-it means a lot to know you’re here cheering me on. Growing a channel can be such a tough journey, but remember that every step forward is progress. 💪 Keep creating, and I’m rooting for your success too! Let’s keep going together. 😊🚀

Thank you so much for this helpful feedback! 🤗I really appreciate your suggestion on rehearsing-I’m definitely not a natural orator, more of an introverted writer, so talking-head videos are out of my comfort zone. Practicing more beforehand definitely seems like it would make a big difference. Your support and encouragement mean a lot as I learn and improve 🌱, and I’m grateful to have viewers like you along for this journey! All the best to you as well, and thanks again for the kind words!

This is super helpful feedback-thank you! I hadn’t considered the FOMO effect for end screens, but I’ll definitely experiment with it and see if it helps my watch time. 😃

Thanks for the tip! I actually use ChatGPT, and I love the creative possibilities it offers-I’m always amazed by what AI can do. 😊 Appreciate you sharing this idea!

Great editing tip! That can be tricky, so I’ll definitely keep this in mind as I keep learning and improving my editing skills. Thanks for the suggestion! 🤗

Thank you for watching and for sharing that! It’s a learning process for sure, but we’re all in this together. Wishing you all the best with your channel-I hope we both find the rhythm and growth we're looking for! 😊🤗

Thank you so much! 💖 I’m so glad the vlog felt relaxing-that’s exactly the vibe I’m going for! Your kind words made my day! 🌸🤗

Absolutely! 💖 I’m all about the small TH-camr support too-this journey is better together! Thanks so much for being here and cheering each other on! 🤗

Sending love right back to you! 💖💖💖 Thanks for the support! 🌸

Awesome! Best of luck to you! 💛 We’re in this together! 🌟😊

Thank you for enjoying the content from my previous channel! Unfortunately, I permanently deleted that channel and all the videos, so I can't re-upload them. I really appreciate your feedback, though, and I’ll definitely keep it in mind as I create new content. 😊 Thanks so much for your support! ❤️🤗

Thank you so much! 😊 I appreciate the support, and I’m wishing you all the best as well! 💛

Yes, we will! Wishing you all the best on your journey too! 💪 We’ve got this! 🌟

Thank you so much for the thoughtful feedback and for sharing your own journey with me! 😊 I totally appreciate the insight about my thumbnails-it's always helpful to get fresh perspectives, especially when it comes to improving my content. I'm glad you clicked on this one, and I'm wishing you all the best as you dive back into your channel and work towards monetization. We’re both in this together, so let’s keep supporting each other along the way! 💪✨

Thank you so much! It definitely took some courage, especially to do a talking head video🤣, but I’m so grateful for the support and positivity from viewers like you! 🎉 It’s such a rewarding experience so far, and I’m looking forward to learning and growing along the way. Your encouragement makes it all the more worthwhile! 💖

Thank you so much for your kind words and well wishes! Your support really means a lot to me as I navigate this new chapter. I’m excited to see where this journey leads, and your encouragement makes it even more special! 😊💛

Thank you! You, too! 🤗

🤣Oh, dang! Aww. No, thankfully, I'm allergy-free, but my husband has allergies sometimes. It looks like it sucks. 🤗🥰

@simplyambermarie it honestly does. And I'm quite a loud sneezed for a girl so by the time I'm finished I've woken up everything in the house. 🤣

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you're enjoying the channel.🤗 A dedicated GRWM video sounds like a fun idea! I’ve got a few video ideas lined up right now, but I'll definitely keep this in mind for the near future! 🥰

That sounds wonderful! I love how you’re making an effort to engage with your kids’ interests as they grow. Mountain biking and movie critiques sound like so much fun! We’ve found the same in our home-our family activities have really evolved as the kids get older, and it’s been such a joy to experience. Thank you for sharing!🥰

Thank you so much! Hope you do, too! 😆

Thank you!😆🥰

Thank you! I'm so glad! 🥰🤗

Hey, thanks for asking! Coming back to TH-cam has been an incredibly fulfilling experience for me, especially since I pivoted my niche. It’s a great way to express creativity and connect with others who share similar interests. If you're thinking of starting a new hobby, TH-cam is definitely a fun and rewarding platform to explore. It does take some time and effort, but if you enjoy what you're doing, it’s totally worth it. Best wishes with your new hobby-whatever you choose, I hope you have fun with it! 🤗

@@simplyambermarieThat’s great to hear! I’ve never been that into posting mainly due to the negativity that people can bring online. Have you had much and if so does it detract from the joy of your hobby ?

@@_JR2022 Yeah, I‘ve totally had some experience with negativity, and it can detract from the joy of creating content - when I’ve allowed it to. In my 9 years of posting content for YT, I’ve mostly had more inappropriate remarks than generally negative. I wish I would’ve learned sooner that you’ve got to train people how to treat you on this platform (and in life). Now, I don’t hesitate to delete the comments that I don’t feel comfortable with or are meant to slight me or anyone in my community. (I’ve also had to block certain words and phrases.) I’ll usually give negative commenters a couple of chances before I completely block them, but I haven’t had to go that far too often and not in a very long time. I understand that they’re just people, too, and they may’ve been having a bad day, or maybe I misunderstood them. (I, personally, find it hard sometimes to understand tone on a critical comment, especially if they’re not using proper punctuation or grammar, and I can’t see them to read their face or body language, ahhh!) If a commenter is getting me down, I’ll give it some time to understand it from all perspectives; if their words are still bothering me after I’ve made sure it’s not just me being a drama queen and taking it the wrong way, I’ll go ahead and just delete it. Basically, have zero tolerance for negativity (in a constructive way, of course), focus on the positives of YT (like all the people you might be helping, encouraging, or inspiring!), and you’ll be totally fine!

@@simplyambermarie thank you for your advice, really appreciate it. By inappropriate comments do u mean regarding video content quality as I don’t have much of a set up and would probably be an easy target for poor video quality etc.

@@_JR2022 Any time! 🤗I love people and helping in whatever way I can. By inappropriate, I mean raunchy comments. Your video quality doesn’t really matter as much as your audio quality. I’ve never invested in a camera. I’m still using my smart phone after all this time, upgraded over the years as they’ve broke/died on me. I’ve always used a free video editor, starting with the YT video editor back when they had a more comprehensive one, then the video editors that’ve come with my laptops after TH-cam removed theirs. I’ve never had special lighting (unless you count my ring light/tripod combo that I had several years ago, but the light broke maybe less than a year after I got it, and I never replaced it). I have had a few different tripods over the years, and voice recorders. My voice recorder that I’ve had for the last 4 years did finally die on me recently, and I tried to replace it with a cheap one. Nope, the audio quality sucked, so now I’m going to have to return that, and get a new one when I’m not so broke, ha! So, I’ve been using my phone camera to record audio lately (it’s good enough for now - way better than my new voice recorder, anyway). But, the setup doesn’t really matter, as long as your audio quality is decent. My best advice is to just start and work with what you’ve got, and you can slowly improve your setup with each video you create; slow and steady wins the race, in spite of any negative feedback about your setup that you may or may not receive.

Thank you so much! 🥰

Thank you so much for all of your encouraging and insightful comments! 🥰 Sorry it's taken me a few days to respond. I've been trying to get ahead on my posting schedule this week; so far, I was able to record 4 videos and fully edit 2 of them. It's been a hectic week, but a very good and productive one. But, I really appreciate all of your thoughtful words! 🤗 May the Lord bless you and keep you! Your sister in Christ, Amber ❤️

We use our fancy China about once a year, on Mother's Day. Sometimes randomly throughout the year, but I'm starting to think about more regular use, now that the kids are older and slightly less destructive 😂! We play board/card games from time to time, but other than that, not really. I used to play with them a lot more when they were smaller, but now that they're tweens and teen, not so much.

Thank you! Right?!!

We have about a few months of food and water saved for us and the puppy.
