Rebecca popping in here to say that I know Michael being the host of this video was a bit of a change but I am a worry-wart when it comes to trying anything new so thank you all for being so supportive and loving! Michael is a sweet and funny guy and I’m glad you all see that as well. And don’t worry this isn’t a Dollar Tree Dinners takeover! 😂😂 I appreciate you guys so so much! ❤❤❤
Rebecca, no worries. Michael did a great job & it's nice to see him helping out with the channel even though he's busy with a million other things. Btw, that pot of chili looks delicious.
I love that you are including your family more! Michael is such a great addition! Also, the 'temporary' housing looks cozy and warm. Even if it isn't the major house, home is what you make of it with the people and decorations you love. For sure, knowing how resourceful you are, you'll find your niche!🏡 Again, welcome to the PNW! 🌲 It's truly the best place on earth and I cannot wait to see how you experience it. Thank you for all you do, Rebecca!🙌
It is cozy! The new house is beautiful but it’s been an adjustment getting used to a lot less space. But It’s nothing we can’t handle, plus we are close to family so that’s the best part.
I live in Western Washington and I highly suggest getting out, while there is daylight, and walking for about 15 minutes each day. It will help acclimate you to the time change and, during the big dark, it helps to decrease depression. There are probably some wonderful parks and trails nearby, and you can often take the doggos with you.
I think the vlogs are a nice addition to your channel. It's like relaxing with friends. Yes, your channel is "Dollar Tree Dinners", but this is kind of like a... behind the scenes view, or something similar. I think that with the move and setting up of the new house, it won't be as easy, right now, to film your normal recipe videos. So, in a way, and even though you don't have to, you're keeping us in the loop with these vlogs. And as long as Michael is comfortable popping in, we look forward to seeing him. And the videos of your trip were enjoyable to watch, as was the Christmas Dinner video in your new kitchen. The ginger snap trifle looked so good. I'd love to know how you make your homemade stock from the bones. Anyway, take your time getting settled in. Looking forward to what you want to share next.
Hey Rebecca and Michael! If you're ever coming to Canada to our Dollar Trees to do a "Canadian Dollar Tree Dinner" do not go to the South Surrey location right over the border. There's an infestation of mice dropping near the cold drink section. Be careful!
Personally I think your channel, do what you want, our opinion doesn’t count. The viewers you are meant to have, will find you and love the content you want to produce. That being said, you asked. My opinion is don’t share too much personal stuff. Keep the kids completely away from the content. I loved not knowing so much about you personally. I just knew you were extremely thoughtful, gracious, giving and resourceful and chose to share your food secrets. I knew you had great hair and had confidence to expose yourself on social media. I knew yall sold at Cons and had dogs. That was a perfect amount of knowledge for me. If you want to share more with us, ok, I cherish the trust you have in your viewers but if you ever feel like you’ve shared too much, stop. All of us are here for your kindness in the struggles.
Thank you so much for that! I really appreciate your honest feedback! We didn’t have any intention of having the kids shown in the vlogs. Just the two of us and the dogs because they are adorable and need to be shared ❤️
Seeing him more comfortable on video is a wild journey. I remember when Rebecca first started and she had to give him taste tests off screen XD lol. I love this kind of content too. 'behind the meals' if you will :D welcome to the west coast, home of ice wind, freezing cold (because our wind comes from glaciers), severe heat, and rain... all day, every day... 7 months a year...
He doesn’t, but I’ve been thinking about it. These past few weeks with the move, I think I may be in a position now where it would be helpful to my viewers to have my main Dollar Tree Dinners channel and a separate Rebecca & Michael vlog channel.
I love Michael taking over some of the vlog, he is hilarious.. "up the wazoo" and him saying if he breaks the mirror your "souls will be stuck in this house forever" made me actually laugh out loud. I'm here for whatever you guys post. I also really love seeing some of Washington since I used to live there and miss it greatly.
I love the vibes of this so far! Michael is a great addition to your videos imo. I love seeing the homely/lifestyle stuff, and as a freelance creative I find that part really interesting/relatable too! I have a 2m desk and i still don't feel like it's enough room :D
I think the dog that wants to get back in the car is ready to go "home". They "moved" to different hotels (homes) and now are here and figure eventually they will go back "home" to where they lived. They don't realize that as of now, this is home.
I love that this video is kind of all over the place bc of new routines & getting situated & organized. Moving is never easy let alone moving from one coast to another. I'm sure River & Loki will settle in well soon. Look at the adorable deer!!! I cannot wait for more cooking & budget videos but until then, this is perfect!!
So great that Michael is helping with the Vlogs. It's fun getting to know him. I remember how shy he was in the beginning..now he may give you a run for your $$ Becca 😂 Can't wait to see your Dollar Tree dinners in your new kitchen space. Blessings on your new home ❤
Having Michael join us is nice! I had to laugh at his reaction to the creepy mirror 😂 That pot of chili looks amazing! My kid doesn't care for chilli (not even sure he's really my kid 😂) so I don't get to make it as often as I'd like.
If I was moving into a house that already had all the kitchen stuff like dishes, silverware, utensils, and whatnot, and you had your own that you were used to and wanted to use, I would probably pack up all of theirs and put it in the garage in boxes so that you don't get so used to it all, that you can't remember if it's yours or there's anymore. But that's just me. And they would probably put a piece of masking tape on the bottom of any small appliances with my initials or theirs, just because it helps keep things straight.
I paused halfway through to write this. I LOVE this! I love seeing Michael as his authentic self. I feel like the few times I have seen him before this were just little tidbit clips that didn't truly show us who he was as a person. Thank you! Please show us more like this.
Go ahead and throw a sheet over that portal for the spirit world (mirror)😂. If PODS could create a “cage” of wide nylon straps and hooks and you could hook it about 1 foot from the door, maybe it would help to catch shifting contents and keep the door free.
They definitely need something, I’m a little mind boggled about why they don’t integrate a system to prevent stuff from shifting for a box that is intended to be lifted up onto a truck and then driven state to state
Aww, poor pup. I wonder why he doesn't like it or if it's simply change in general he's having an issue with. The house - love that sliding door between the kitchen and the office. And all the light!! Even the bedrooms looked nice and bright, love it. It looks like you've got a nice front yard there too.
I think it was the general change, he misses his big yard to run around in. But here Michael’s mom has a dog and when they get together they can run around and play. So he’s got a friend now ❤️ that’s helping
I have always understood "furnished" strictly as large furniture, no little knick-knacks, kitchen gadgets, doo-dads, clutttery clutter..I cannot imagine having to deal with other people's minutiae while moving in and organizing
Rebecca I love this style of video! Im happy to see that Michael is willing to help you put when it comes to these types of videos! It was nice to see you out of your normal element of cooking videos. These are fun to watch! Keep up the good work. 🎉❤
We moved from MN to FL in 2023 and brought 4 cats. We had an SUV, a trailer, a POD, AND I drove the uhaul. We got rid of so much stuff before the move, it was scary. We still have too much.
@AmyRaeVee oh no. I live in Ohio but we will get Tornado watches or warning mostly in spring or early summer. They usually hit in more open rural areas tho. I live Suburb of Columbus ( the city line is literally 1.8 miles away) so dense populated areas are rarely ever get touch downs. But we travel to Florida often at least once a year a also go to all star cheer competitions every year at ESPN. ❤️FL but not all the creature's 😃
Love that you guys are integrating Michael! It makes your channel more interesting to see your life changes from his point of view. I love that he's willing to be a part of the channel 🥰. I remember the Michael who didn't like to be on camera lol. Does he stream on Twitch or TH-cam as well? It makes my heart so very happy to see your channel grow literally every day. You deserve the world! You give so much to all of us. Thank you for taking us with you. I wish you guys, and your puppers, all the best. 🎉❤
Love how you’re handling everything with so much patience and positivity! The home setup process looks like a challenge, but it’s great to see you making it work. The Christmas chaos and your meal planning were so relatable, and I totally get how stressful it can be trying to juggle everything. Also, those deer sightings are adorable! Wishing you all the best with the move and your new space. Can’t wait to see more updates!
I’m a little disappointed that Rebecca will not be leading the vlog content, just because Rebecca has such a calming and positive personality that I love. Nothing against Michael though, I will continue to support the channel.
Just a thought for what it's worth from someone who's moved over 20 times. If this is a temporary home, why give up the boxes? You'll need them again, so it might be worth saving them.
I was hoping to see something soon. I love the idea of Michael being more involved with the channel. Was he able to transfer his job to Washington or is that another issue that needs to be dealt with in addition to finding a permanent home?
He is a full time fan art vendor at comicons, so in a sense we have to transfer it, by finding new shows local to us because we had a good rotation of shows in Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina. Now we have to find shows on the west coast
Michael, the Internet issue could be from your router. We had this issue for 2 years until we finally realized we should buy a new router and instantly got a faster connection so that could also be something if it continues to happen. Rebecca, adding the husband and changing up the vlog style is a good idea because the vlogging style on TH-cam is changing to more of an everyday, random chore, less edited type of vibe.
Love your channel but really hope you do a separate one for the "lifestyle" content and keep this all about food/money saving recipes. I loved the cross country trip because it showed how you budgeted (with some fun food reviews), but this is different. I feel like it takes away from the "Dollar Tree Dinner" name. Maybe do a companion channel with day in the life -- just my take! I just know so many people come here for the cheap food ideas and not Michael's t-shirt biz and hot takes of his bare feet (LOL)
@@Plotkarazzo I have to agree with that. So many people have "lifestyle" vlogs, but I have loved Rebecca's Dollar Tree Dinners and that's what drew me to the channel. I don't need to see everybody else's lifestyle, I'm living my own. But seeing the cooking videos was great.
Love seeing Michael but Michael you move that camera way too fast for all of us people who have vertigo😖 All that spinning around, does me in🤦♀️ I am loving the tour of you doing this together, though this is a lot of fun. I really hope things settle down for you guys and you get comfortable in your surroundings.❤️🙏
Rebecca does her own editing? She must be the hardest working editor around! I don't know how you pump out all these videos - I have another channel and it's so hard to make more than 2 videos a year because I feel like my kitchen has to be perfect first
Rebecca looking forward to your future recipe videos. Glad you are settling in nicely. Takes a while and it's exhausting. Once you settle comfortably the dogs will follow suit. Blessings to you and hubby 😊
I also have done the Virginia to Oak harbor move. Then to Tennessee. Intel on the dollar tree in oak harbor, it will get better not in the holiday season, it is the only one on the island. Side note try honey moon bay coffee in oak harbor.
lol I went there again on Thursday and yeah it wasn’t much better. Most of the shelves are completely empty. It’s such a big store, it seems like they don’t have enough inventory to fill it
I love hunting for deals there and it’s cheaper than Safeway. There’s a Walmart over here but it’s not a grocery Walmart. They have 5 tiny isles of food lol
This is so interesting! I do have a Dollar Tree about 10 minutes away but the refrigerator section is super grim. The food aisles in general are quite grim, and any other grocery store is at least an hour away (Winco is 2.5 hours). I appreciate all of the ideas! 😊 Thank you! 🙏🏼
He used to seem kinda shy when you'd give him things to taste test and he wasn't really super comfortable, so it's nice to see him. He seems like a good man. He's really sweet and funny. And I agree about the mirror! 😂
Hey Michael. Great video. There is a reusable pet hair pick up/removal tool at WalMart that actually works great. Evercare Reusable Pet Hair Remover Tool, Dual Wheel. It's about $10 at my local WM. You have to use long back and forth strokes to get the "velvet" rollers to by-pass and push the hair into the catchment. We have 2 dogs and 2 cats that sleep all over my bed and couch and leave their furry presents behind. This thing is amazing. No more sticky sheets or buying refills. It worked quite well in my vehicle after our last ride too. I have black interior and white dogs.
BTW..in my house, this was the year of make it, don't buy it. One of the big ones where I found I saved money was brown sugar. For the cost of one bag of brown sugar, I get a bottle of molasses and make my own brown sugar for quite a while.
I love the addition of Michael to the vlogs! He seems like a great guy, and he's great on camera. Is it a change? Yes, but you have a lot on your plate with doing the Dollar Tree Dinner content, and change isn't always a bad thing!!
I am enjoying the lifestyle content. It is like getting to see behind the scenes. Micheal you are great at Vlogging! Excited to see more from both of you!
Morning! A suggestion for the Michael's office, check out Origami shelves. The shelf units are strong and easy to move. Yes, $$ but I've had mine for 15 years still look new & have moved 2x. Spend a little more & save in long run.
Funny enough today it's innocents day(día de los inocentes, or our equivalent of April 1st) here 🇲🇽 so even if this is not a prank it feels like one but it's cute and I enjoyed the content
i think him doing the personal stuff is fine. a suggestion though, i think a "who is michael" introduction would be nice to get to know our co-host going forward. kind of hopped onto the channel further along in the journey so im getting whiplash with all the tidbits we are seeing about him lol
Oh wow I loved this video! Michael is just as charismatic as you are Rebecca. It was so fun to see what you guys are doing with the house. I've never been to the PNW, but I know I would love it. All the pine trees and water. Cant wait to see more videos. Hope you both had a wonderful Christmas. ❤😊
Nice to see more of your home life and your fella! Moving is the WORST and I've never done it cross country. Hang in there! Thanks for sharing the journey with us. 😊
Followed your trip across the country to Washington. I might be doing the same thing this summer. (My grown daughter lives in Seattle). Glad you made it safely. Would be interested in Michael’s channel. Can you link it somewhere on your channel? Also I’ll be going back for some of your recipes. They look good.
Love the new content idea! You both should do a Q and A! Would love to know why you moved and what your plans are. You may have covered this but can’t find that video! Love that the kids will join you on Christmas Day!!
Rebecca popping in here to say that I know Michael being the host of this video was a bit of a change but I am a worry-wart when it comes to trying anything new so thank you all for being so supportive and loving! Michael is a sweet and funny guy and I’m glad you all see that as well.

What does Michael stream? Maybe he could gain new followers from this platform.
He steams on twitch, his username is nerdgasmagaming. That would be so sweet to get him some new followers ❤️❤️❤️

Get heavy duty snap together shelves from Lowes. They go together quick and easy and hold lots of stuff. No drilling needed.
Michael is a great addition to the vlogs.

Love seeing Michael but Michael you move that camera way too fast for all of us people who have vertigo😖 All that spinning around, does me in🤦♀️ I am loving the tour of you doing this together, though this is a lot of fun. I really hope things settle down for you guys and you get comfortable in your surroundings.❤️🙏
So glad you guys are in WA. Also love seeing more of your family.
For the sloppy joe, I recommend using hot dog buns instead of hamburger buns. I have been doing this for years, and it is actually less messy.
Rebecca does her own editing? She must be the hardest working editor around! I don't know how you pump out all these videos - I have another channel and it's so hard to make more than 2 videos a year because I feel like my kitchen has to be perfect first
I’m stretched a little thin sometimes but I do my best, I’m also not the most impressive or skilled video editor lol
Nobody relates to perfect though.
The OH dollar tree will be great once it’s restocked. It’s usually really awesome. Save you the drive off island.
I can’t wait for it to be restocked because it is BARON right now lol
@ we live in Auburn and ours was bad yesterday too
I like you both, but i hope Michael is also as positive a person as you😊
That mirror was definitely creepy... But AWESOME!
When we first opened the garage we both were like “that thing is a little creepy” lol so I’m glad he talked about it
Rebecca looking forward to your future recipe videos. Glad you are settling in nicely. Takes a while and it's exhausting. Once you settle comfortably the dogs will follow suit. Blessings to you and hubby 😊
I had no idea Michael is a streamer! Would he be okay sharing where he streams so we could follow? I’m a gamer too!
He streams on twitch and TikTok! His handle is Nerdgasmagaming
I also have done the Virginia to Oak harbor move. Then to Tennessee. Intel on the dollar tree in oak harbor, it will get better not in the holiday season, it is the only one on the island. Side note try honey moon bay coffee in oak harbor.
lol I went there again on Thursday and yeah it wasn’t much better. Most of the shelves are completely empty. It’s such a big store, it seems like they don’t have enough inventory to fill it
@ ya I missed not being next to the mother ship dollar tree world headquarters in VA.
You'll love Grocery Outlet! Prices aren't as discounted as they used to be, but the discounts are still good. And there are always fun new items.
I love hunting for deals there and it’s cheaper than Safeway. There’s a Walmart over here but it’s not a grocery Walmart. They have 5 tiny isles of food lol
@@DollarTreeDinnersis there a winco over there?
No, sadly the nearest winco is over an hour away 😭😭😭
This is so interesting! I do have a Dollar Tree about 10 minutes away but the refrigerator section is super grim. The food aisles in general are quite grim, and any other grocery store is at least an hour away (Winco is 2.5 hours). I appreciate all of the ideas! 😊 Thank you! 🙏🏼
He used to seem kinda shy when you'd give him things to taste test and he wasn't really super comfortable, so it's nice to see him. He seems like a good man. He's really sweet and funny. And I agree about the mirror! 😂
Where are your children?. I am confused
Here in Washington, they are Michael’s children so they will be here for Christmas, spring, and summer breaks and every other weekend
I think life style content is a great idea.
Nice to see Michael, participating in the videos! Wishing you both happy holidays and your new beginnings !
Who knew Michael could talk so much! I think it's great so long as we still get Rebecca's Dollar Tree Dinners. 😊
Hey Michael. Great video. There is a reusable pet hair pick up/removal tool at WalMart that actually works great. Evercare Reusable Pet Hair Remover Tool, Dual Wheel. It's about $10 at my local WM. You have to use long back and forth strokes to get the "velvet" rollers to by-pass and push the hair into the catchment. We have 2 dogs and 2 cats that sleep all over my bed and couch and leave their furry presents behind. This thing is amazing. No more sticky sheets or buying refills. It worked quite well in my vehicle after our last ride too. I have black interior and white dogs.
BTW..in my house, this was the year of make it, don't buy it. One of the big ones where I found I saved money was brown sugar. For the cost of one bag of brown sugar, I get a bottle of molasses and make my own brown sugar for quite a while.
I love the addition of Michael to the vlogs! He seems like a great guy, and he's great on camera. Is it a change? Yes, but you have a lot on your plate with doing the Dollar Tree Dinner content, and change isn't always a bad thing!!
I love seeing Michael helping, its awesome
Michael 🙌 Your so funny! Love the New content with you both!
Good job Michael! It’s nice seeing you both on videos
This was really fun!
Yes! More Michael!
How long are you at the temp house?
3 to 6 months, depending on how quickly our house sells in Virginia
That mirror looks like a portal to another world!!
Awww Michael is fab!
I am enjoying the lifestyle content. It is like getting to see behind the scenes. Micheal you are great at Vlogging! Excited to see more from both of you!
Morning! A suggestion for the Michael's office, check out Origami shelves. The shelf units are strong and easy to move. Yes, $$ but I've had mine for 15 years still look new & have moved 2x. Spend a little more & save in long run.
Great idea!! I checked those out and they look nifty!
Funny enough today it's innocents day(día de los inocentes, or our equivalent of April 1st) here 🇲🇽 so even if this is not a prank it feels like one but it's cute and I enjoyed the content
Aww! Not a prank, just a fun way to show you guys a different perspective ❤️❤️
I like the new concept
i think him doing the personal stuff is fine. a suggestion though, i think a "who is michael" introduction would be nice to get to know our co-host going forward. kind of hopped onto the channel further along in the journey so im getting whiplash with all the tidbits we are seeing about him lol
Hi Michael! Glad you're in more of the videos!
Oh wow I loved this video! Michael is just as charismatic as you are Rebecca. It was so fun to see what you guys are doing with the house. I've never been to the PNW, but I know I would love it. All the pine trees and water. Cant wait to see more videos. Hope you both had a wonderful Christmas. ❤😊
Nice to see more of your home life and your fella! Moving is the WORST and I've never done it cross country. Hang in there! Thanks for sharing the journey with us. 😊
All righty then... you can edit out a few of the times you say all right. All right? All righty.
You guys are funny, because Michael was like “I say alright a lot lol”
Sending love to River and Loki ❤
Arlington! Mount Vernon! Anacortes! Oak Harbor! My old haunts. I love that area.
I think it's awesome that Michael is getting involved, and that you're including family life.
Also,can you put a link in for the t-shirts?
Followed your trip across the country to Washington. I might be doing the same thing this summer. (My grown daughter lives in Seattle). Glad you made it safely. Would be interested in Michael’s channel. Can you link it somewhere on your channel? Also I’ll be going back for some of your recipes. They look good.
Please please please do a hometour!!! 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
If Michael is going to be doing more vlogs, I'd love to have his streaming and store info in the descriptions so we can support him too!
He’s on twitch! It’s nerdgasmagaming :)
Yep! We also had that problem with our Pods unit. We were sitting at a Pods storage location and it took them more than an hour to get into it.
Who are you and where is Rebecca!!!
lol it’s Michael, don’t worry I am there too! I was just out at an appointment so he was filming the things he was doing that day 😊😊😊
@DollarTreeDinners yeah I was kidding. Doggo content will be fun.
lol You’re funny! 😄
I love it!!!🥰❤️🏡🍽🙏🏻
Love the new content idea! You both should do a Q and A! Would love to know why you moved and what your plans are. You may have covered this but can’t find that video! Love that the kids will join you on Christmas Day!!
I love it!!🥰❤️🏡🍽🙏🏻
