Hi prayer family, if y'all could take a sec to pray for my healing I would greatly appreciate that. I was bitten by a brown recluse and I just would feel better knowing prayers are going up for my name in his mighty name. Thank you,God bless!🌱🌾
Everything is looking wonderful Merina!! On a side note, a few weeks to probably a month or two ago I was asking for prayers on a safe delivery of my second baby and we are now almost 2 weeks post partum! Delivery was exactly the way God planned and told me it was going to be and we are very blessed 🙏🏼 I was able to go into labor naturally (5 days past due date!) and was able to do an unmedicated birth through Him!! Although I was terrified honestly the entire time leading up to pushing and actually getting her out, My husband and doula along with the hospital staff were amazing and so encouraging the whole 4 hours it took to get from 7cm to delivery ❤️ I only had a small tear with no need of stitching, she was 8lbs flat which is exactly where I wanted her to be (my first was almost 9lbs and I had to have medical interventions due to not knowing what we know now about birth) and have been recovering great at home 🙏🏼❤️ God is good !!!!!! She’s healthy, and strong just like her big sister and we are so blessed 💕💕💕💕
Oh your smile Merina!! I wish I could give you a hug!! I’m a dental hygienist and I usually pray over my patients while I work on them, but your journey really inspired me this week to go even deeper into prayer while I care for them. So incredibly happy for you!!
As wonderful as my husband is, when it comes to anything that requires physical work or organisation, I do it alone, which gets lonely. I love how you and Shane always work together😊
You are so blessed to have kids that sense your feelings & wanted to help make you feel better. Shane is also a blessing. God has blessed you so much. The kitchen looks sooooo good, so bright & fresh. Thank you for being you & sharing.
Merina, do not ever put yourself down again ,you are beautiful inside and out , the world is cruel enough , and you train yourself to see yourself as God sees you . Please do that for me okay .I love you and your family ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Marina, I actually sat here crying tears of Joy when you talked about your children. What sweethearts. It says alot about you Shane. And dentist "stuff" I get it. I love that dentist you are going to. He seems amazing. Bless your heart dear mama
Tell your kids that I'm so proud of them for cleaning and setting up the "relax" mood when you were stressed. You're such a good mom. The cabinets painted white really make the beautiful wooden ceiling stand out.
Hi! You're rocking that kitchen! I just wanted to let you know I am beyond impressed with your paint knowledge. I worked for Sherwin for a few years and Cashmere is a BEAUTIFUL paint. The finish is exactly what the name suggests. It's smooth and rich. As to the pedicure ideas. GO!!! My feet are awful if I try to manage them. I have wonky nails because of bad arthritis pushing one tow into another. I have calus. I am a foot mess! I go and other than not knowing how to sit still for that long, I enjoy the process and results. Go and take care of yourself! You deserve the pampering. You are a wonderful person and deserve so much. No one has a perfect body. But when we let ourselves enjoy the time we do take care of ourselves is important to us AND our families. They need us to be as good to ourselves as we are to them.
Oh I’ve learned so much from you, I’m 63 almost 64, I’m the hardest on myself, I raised three wonderful daughters, but I don’t give myself grace! Thank God, he gives us forgiveness, love and grace xo
Love, love, love all of it.❤ The Lord continue to bless and keep you, your precious family, and your family on TH-cam. Biggest blessing: our Saviour, the Good Shepherd. He leads us and provides for us and gives us love and all of the fruit of the Spirit.
I have lead a very hard life and when my youngest was born I noticed certain people started to kind of drift away from me and at first I was upset and then I noticed that I had started to change and not in the way they liked because I stopped drinking and I started staying home with my kids and started being a mom and then I got the diagnosis of my son being severely autistic non-verbal so then a lot more people started to drop like flies and I was okay with it all because I know that God didn't want them in our lives because they were disruptive and filled with drama and loathing and I don't need nor do I want that around me and my children so now I've noticed that God since I have kept to myself for the past 6 years that God has started bringing back good people from my past good honest hard-working folks and I am so very thankful to get rid of the trash and bring in the treasures I'm so thankful for God because like you I've got a small fixer upper home and my kids and I will never go home again as long as we continue to make our home payments and I'm so thankful that God has done all of this for security in my life and my children's life and for all the good people he's bringing back because he sees how hard I am working on myself so he decided that I needed to have some good human beings in our life again and so all glory goes to God❤
Girl. You do so much for so many. Please use that dishwasher the good Lord has blessed you with 😂❤ Also it is SO CUTE when it sounds like your whole family is reciting your outro (like the pledge of allegiance 😂😂😂).
I know I have mentioned this before but sweet beautiful girl this is your channel that we love and choose to watch all and everything that you decide to share with us. If anyone doesn’t like the content they don’t have to watch. We who love everything about you and Shane and the family love it all from home cleaning, decorating, restoring, talking, playing with the kids, and so on. I feel apart of the family and I hope for you to continue letting me be that a part of it all. I appreciate it all. I love and pray for you guys. Keep up the amazing work. ❤❤❤❤
Merina, don't worry about losing footage. The moment of you going into your closet is a moment just between you and God. A private moment that was greatly needed. We all need those moments. I love you, and your family. God bless you all.
Marina. I don’t think you realize how helpful you are by sharing what you go through in your life how your remodeling your double wide and the way you love your husband and your children and your nanny. I found you to be a very personable, kind person a godly person there’s not enough people like you in the world. Keep filming your videos keep sharing your lives with us. We love you but Jesus loves you more.
I watched the video of your dental appointment but... I can REALLY see the difference at the end of this video! You're glowing 🌟 The kitchen looks amazing and so do you. Big transformations happening all over your world. God is good!!
Merina I am so proud of how well you handled your dental appointment. You went through that like a champ. Doing things afraid is an exercise of true faith! Blessings sweet friend.
What you do on your TH-cam site is give people hope, Merina. Never forget that. From showing people that on a shoestring budget you can accomplish a lot. To showing people that you are a woman of faith and yes, being human, you do get frightened at circumstances but in "Giving it to God" all things are possible. Loving the kitchens look and your choice of paint.and your kiddos are a reflection of you and Shane. They will grow into sensitive, well adjusted adults , with a faith as you and Shane have. Hold your head up, girlie. Your doing great!!
Hi sweet girl- I want you to know that I watch you because I love the way you think and feel. I also just love your family. This is just my opinion so take it or leave it. You will never be able to please everyone and you will be miserable trying. DO WHATEVER YOU WANT TO IN YOUR VIDEOS! This is vital to you coming across happy and satisfied with your life. We all care for you and your family so much that it is hurtful to think of people critiquing you regularly. Please don’t worry that whatever you want to do or say won’t be enough for people. You always are!! Love to you all-D.
Haha since I have a dishwasher now that’s my go to. I only wash by hand on dishes that need it. Use that dishwasher & enjoy the extra minutes you save!
Ive never asked for prayer before on your channel but I had two heart attacks last week and s stent. I already have other health conditions so this has really been trying time. Thank you guys so much. I love fearfully created!
Please don't let peoples' petty comments about the appliances you worked so hard to get, make you use them less. You earned the right to use your dishwasher Merina. You do you. Everyone will always make those comments until they realize this is not a competition. I love the white cabinets!
It’s all looking so good Merina and Shane! One of the things you can do if you haven’t though about it, is add simple crown molding to the top of your upper cabinets for a finished look.
I'm sorry if I ask for prayer too much. I believe their is power in prayer. I ask y'all to please pray for my hubby, Tony. He has to have an Electromyography on Tuesday. I'm still waiting to hear back from the MRI on my head. Thank you in advance. God Bless.
You are a Gem 💎 😊 I enjoy how you do your videos, I like that you talk, real talk. I loved that your kids made you do your self-care. Kids are such a blessing ❤
Gurrrllll...please use your dishwasher! There are 6 of you & you home school & are parents to a special needs child & also fur baby needs too. Use that Dad gone thing (dishwasher) & spend your time for other pressing issues❤😊
What wonderful children that you have taught them to be you are such a wonderful mother I absolutely love your videos and love your family so much sending love and prayers ❤
So happy to see new video!!!! Girl,I fell again,into brick landscaping,tore my right leg up,fleshy bloody mess,pain!!!!!! Then when got me to ER,Sr tells me worst damage it to side,my skin is swollen & beginning to rupture,yes! Opens up ,exposing my blood vessels...they gave me morphine & begin to work! Now I'm back home band aging & full leg wrap up to my knee,going to wound center every week & have to stay off feet,elevated & change dressing 2xday..which I cry & scream every time because it hurts so bad..please pray it heals & I don't end up in surgery🙏
Me-Me stop putting yourself down, you throw yourself under the bus and while driving the bus, you are so Beautiful (with a capital B). Your beautiful spirit and humbleness is so contagious, that I'm proud to be one of the "Fearfully CREATED" families ❤
I seen your dentist video! You did so amazing and God is good all the time! It’s so wonderful to hear you give God the glory thru good and bad times! He never leaves us, He’s going thru it right along with us!
Hi,greetings from lancaster pa! I felt the same way you did such a fear going to the dentist... but then I realized that fear was from Satan and I rebuked him I am a child of God's and he has always got me thru things and he is with us. We always have his angel near us bring us thru all situations all storms in life ...some times I just sit and try to understand situations he's brought me thru but he always has and I'm here to say God will bring u thru this just lean on him dear lady just trust our savior.You are in my prayers mama was a prayer warrior she instilled that in me thru all situation just pray honey and lean on him.hugs to all in your beautiful family .Beth
I started watching you when you first started your channel, it was your personality that drew me in. To see how far you have come and for you to share it with the world has been a privilege. You inspire me, both you and Shane. My sister is in a double wide that needs work and I'm hoping to get in and help her make her mobile home her mobile mansion too. Thanks for sharing your life with us.
I just want to hug you. I understand trauma and fear from the dentist I've had a horrible experience with the dentist growing up too and I understand the pain of the abcess and popping them for relief. It does get better though especially when you find someone you trust. I'm praying for you sweetie.
You guys should put white cupboards above your washer and dryer and get rid of the wire racks that’s what we did and looks amazing! Keep up the awesome work
Merina, use that dishwasher. It is not a privilege to have a dishwasher. You are a family of six, you homeschool your children, you are a homemaker and you are a digital creator. You have a very full schedule. Using your dishwasher is a timesaver and it’s economically more efficient than letting the water run. Girl, take your shortcuts where you can. Loved this video!! The cabinets look great and the kitchen is coming along nicely.
Exactly!! Modern dishwashers save way more energy and water than if you wash them by hand. Use the dishwasher for everything you can get in it and just hand wash what doesn’t fit. Use the time saved to do something else ❤
Great decision Merina on the white. White is neutral and bright. It shows cleanness. Also light colours makes the room look bigger. You are doing a fantastic job along with your husband and children. God bless!😘
Your teeth are really beautiful! Love what you are doing to your kitchen. You are a inspiration to many of us and that is because of the relationship you have with the Lord. God bless you and your family!
Merina, might i say you are such a beautiful lady inside and out. I'm so happy for you on your dental journey, i pray the Most High gives you and your family many blessings to come. I so look forward to your videos every week......😊😊😊
Hello! Please don’t ever feel embarrassed by having anxiety about dental procedures! I worked in a dental office for 20 years and some people just are frightened by anything dental! I’ll be praying for you! If I were there I’d go with you and hold your hand! You’re such a sweet Christian young woman! ❤️🙏✝️
Try that same recipe but mix the pasta (I use Penne or bow ties) with 8 oz of Ricotta cheese, then layer the sauce, cheesy pasta and Shredded Mozzarella a few times to make a few layers, top with cheese and just bake it at 350 for about 35 minutes for everything to combine well. Soooo good, taste like a lasagna almost. I also put a teaspoon or so of regular sugar in my sauce too! House is looking so good!!!!!!
33:26 I love your videos. I absolutely love that your kids did that for you . I always cant wait till you post a video. Shane is awesome he loves you so much . Love that you share the realness of life . Share your thoughts and stories .and pray with us . I absolutely felt that shaving thing me too girl i think it grows as im leaving the bathroom.
Merina i wish I could pick your brain on design ideas to get the most out of my space in a tiny home. I haven't decided on the sizes building yet, but I'm so excited to do some of the same projects you shared with us. Thank you so much for all you do and for sharing your life experiences with us. You're very genuine and relatable!!❤
Merina bless your heart, yes you do have 4 of the best most sweet and 26:52 kind kidos. Yall take such good care of each. other. I love your cabinets too. Btw.your teeth looked so white and you did so good our brave girl!
You and Shane have raised such amazing children, my kids do the same thing for me when I get overwhelmed and they are 35 and 37. I was so proud of you on how you did at your dental cleaning and extraction!! So sorry you suffered so much with your teeth. God has blessed you with such a wonderful gift . Yes God is always with us watching over us and guiding our path.
Merina one way to help keep your cabinets to where they are easy to wipe down and keep them clean is put polycrylic on them after the paint is dry. I have done that for years every time I paint cabinets.
10:20 🥹 those sweet babies. I have one like that at home. She's SO compassionate and takes such good care of me when I'm down and I am so grateful to be her mama.
Please pray for my friend, she is dealing with so much and I’m So worried about her. She needs mental and emotional strength. Thank you, I love that this is a place so many people can ask for and receive prayers. You brought us all together,
Beautiful family! That was sweet and loving of the kids surprising mom. Way to go kids! Family love at its best❤ I love the kitchen ! Happy your dental appointment was positive and great results!!!
I just love your mobile home mansion makeovers! I have a dishwasher too- but I wash my dishes by hand, and then put them in the dishwasher! (I know I waste a lot of water doing that- but the dishwasher has that super hot sanitizing cycle) When I saw that small ackward space- I was thinking kitchen trash can location. I can't wait to see what you all came up with for that location. I had a weird spot in my kitchen that wasn't big enough for a trash can cubby- so I built a shelf for my cook books. Again, can't wait to see what you all came up with. Girl- YOUR TEETH!!! (they are so pretty) I need to get a dentist appointment and get mine cleaned. Lastly, have you thought about doing freezer meals? This is kinda back to the washing dishes part- but when you make a meal, you can just double it. You can put one meal in the freezer and have one for your current meal. Then- you get 2 meals and only have the major dishes to wash one time. You can google it- there is a lot of good info on the interwebs about it
FYI. I used micro fiber roller on my cabinets. No splatter and looks sprayed. Bought the rollers at sherwin williams. Also used their cabinet and trim paint. Expensive but they have 40% off coupons. Good job.
For many years we didn’t have a dishwasher - I have for thirty years but I mostly hand wash cause it feels therapeutic to my lupus joints and I lookout to the woods- peaceful for me
Baby, please get a dish drain or the mat. I will send you one if you want 😊 . Just to make your kitchen nicer looking because its a beautiful kitchen. ❤
I had to wash my dishes by hand because my 20+ year old dishwasher didn't work well. My hubby bought me a new one for our anniversary. I love it!!! I can put things in it that I could not put in before and they actually come clean! Sorry Merina, I say use your beautiful dishwasher, that is what it is there for. I fill mine up during the day and run it when I go to bed at night. In the morning I empty it. Love that you're trying to keep up but with a family of six time is precious. I know, I raised 5 boys. Love and hugs. BTW, your smile is even more beautiful now than before!
Wow you look amazing! Even my son noticed!! and he liked your Kitchen. Love your content and glad God gave you the courage to get the work done on your teeth.❤
Baby girl please don't put your self down, you are a wonderful beautiful person and baby girl you are very much loved and I know that man loves you the way you are Yes ma'am our Lord God loves you the way you are. Thank you so much for this and I am loving it. God bless all of you 🙏❤️🌹
Gurlllaaa, skipped ahead 2 weeks to your most current video [yesterday], but I'd thought I'd put it to tell you to make sure to wash all new cutlery and cooking utensils because of manufacturing deposits on them (i.e., lube, glue, chemicals etc.) Love y'all!!! And that sink is gorgeous!!!
It’s definitely a privilege to have a dishwasher, you work every hard to have it. but it’s better for the environment also. The dishwasher uses less water than hand washing.
Hi prayer family, if y'all could take a sec to pray for my healing I would greatly appreciate that. I was bitten by a brown recluse and I just would feel better knowing prayers are going up for my name in his mighty name. Thank you,God bless!🌱🌾
We sure will!!! ❤❤❤😊😊
Praying for healing for you Sister❤
@@missmartpants2269 praying that your bite heals quickly.
You can never ask for too many prayers or have too many prayers. We’re all here for each other and I’m happy to pray for each and every one of us. ❤
Praying for complete healing in Jesus Name.
Everything is looking wonderful Merina!!
On a side note, a few weeks to probably a month or two ago I was asking for prayers on a safe delivery of my second baby and we are now almost 2 weeks post partum! Delivery was exactly the way God planned and told me it was going to be and we are very blessed 🙏🏼 I was able to go into labor naturally (5 days past due date!) and was able to do an unmedicated birth through Him!! Although I was terrified honestly the entire time leading up to pushing and actually getting her out, My husband and doula along with the hospital staff were amazing and so encouraging the whole 4 hours it took to get from 7cm to delivery ❤️ I only had a small tear with no need of stitching, she was 8lbs flat which is exactly where I wanted her to be (my first was almost 9lbs and I had to have medical interventions due to not knowing what we know now about birth) and have been recovering great at home 🙏🏼❤️ God is good !!!!!! She’s healthy, and strong just like her big sister and we are so blessed 💕💕💕💕
Such awesome news. Congratulations!
@10:20+ Give them a huge hug from me. I'm tearing up over here for you! I see your sweetness through your children. 🥰💖💝
Oh your smile Merina!! I wish I could give you a hug!! I’m a dental hygienist and I usually pray over my patients while I work on them, but your journey really inspired me this week to go even deeper into prayer while I care for them. So incredibly happy for you!!
This is such a sweet comment.❤
There is a joy in that prayer, when he helps you.
As wonderful as my husband is, when it comes to anything that requires physical work or organisation, I do it alone, which gets lonely. I love how you and Shane always work together😊
You are so blessed to have kids that sense your feelings & wanted to help make you feel better. Shane is also a blessing. God has blessed you so much. The kitchen looks
sooooo good, so bright & fresh. Thank you for being you & sharing.
Merina, do not ever put yourself down again ,you are beautiful inside and out , the world is cruel enough , and you train yourself to see yourself as God sees you . Please do that for me okay .I love you and your family ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Amen 🙏
Agree
Nothing but Truth right there ❤
I agree I been saying the same thing she’s beautiful inside and out
❤Amen
Marina, I actually sat here crying tears of Joy when you talked about your children. What sweethearts. It says alot about you Shane. And dentist "stuff" I get it. I love that dentist you are going to. He seems amazing. Bless your heart dear mama
Tell your kids that I'm so proud of them for cleaning and setting up the "relax" mood when you were stressed. You're such a good mom. The cabinets painted white really make the beautiful wooden ceiling stand out.
Hi! You're rocking that kitchen! I just wanted to let you know I am beyond impressed with your paint knowledge. I worked for Sherwin for a few years and Cashmere is a BEAUTIFUL paint. The finish is exactly what the name suggests. It's smooth and rich. As to the pedicure ideas. GO!!! My feet are awful if I try to manage them. I have wonky nails because of bad arthritis pushing one tow into another. I have calus. I am a foot mess! I go and other than not knowing how to sit still for that long, I enjoy the process and results. Go and take care of yourself! You deserve the pampering. You are a wonderful person and deserve so much. No one has a perfect body. But when we let ourselves enjoy the time we do take care of ourselves is important to us AND our families. They need us to be as good to ourselves as we are to them.
Washing dishes puts me into a spiritual trance and allows me the opportunity to speak my heart with The Lord 🙏🍽🫗🥣
Oh I’ve learned so much from you, I’m 63 almost 64, I’m the hardest on myself, I raised three wonderful daughters, but I don’t give myself grace! Thank God, he gives us forgiveness, love and grace xo
Nooooo I love your mobile home updates...keep doing them please...I love your style and how you and Shane work together ❤
I need to know when Moonpie & Shane will be a poster sized picture on the living room wall!
Funny…Shane read this comment to me before I saw it 😂😂😂😂
Love, love, love all of it.❤ The Lord continue to bless and keep you, your precious family, and your family on TH-cam. Biggest blessing: our Saviour, the Good Shepherd. He leads us and provides for us and gives us love and all of the fruit of the Spirit.
I have lead a very hard life and when my youngest was born I noticed certain people started to kind of drift away from me and at first I was upset and then I noticed that I had started to change and not in the way they liked because I stopped drinking and I started staying home with my kids and started being a mom and then I got the diagnosis of my son being severely autistic non-verbal so then a lot more people started to drop like flies and I was okay with it all because I know that God didn't want them in our lives because they were disruptive and filled with drama and loathing and I don't need nor do I want that around me and my children so now I've noticed that God since I have kept to myself for the past 6 years that God has started bringing back good people from my past good honest hard-working folks and I am so very thankful to get rid of the trash and bring in the treasures I'm so thankful for God because like you I've got a small fixer upper home and my kids and I will never go home again as long as we continue to make our home payments and I'm so thankful that God has done all of this for security in my life and my children's life and for all the good people he's bringing back because he sees how hard I am working on myself so he decided that I needed to have some good human beings in our life again and so all glory goes to God❤
AMEN. To all of that.
Girl. You do so much for so many. Please use that dishwasher the good Lord has blessed you with 😂❤ Also it is SO CUTE when it sounds like your whole family is reciting your outro (like the pledge of allegiance 😂😂😂).
I know I have mentioned this before but sweet beautiful girl this is your channel that we love and choose to watch all and everything that you decide to share with us.

“ I share everything but my bowel schedule”
This is why I LOVE watching you❣️
It’s all looking so good Merina and Shane! One of the things you can do if you haven’t though about it, is add simple crown molding to the top of your upper cabinets for a finished look.
I'm sorry if I ask for prayer too much. I believe their is power in prayer. I ask y'all to please pray for my hubby, Tony. He has to have an Electromyography on Tuesday. I'm still waiting to hear back from the MRI on my head. Thank you in advance. God Bless.
Will lift you both up in prayer ❤
Don’t you ever apologize for asking for prayer Mrs. Alma! We love you and will always pray when you ask! We will bring Tony before the Lord! ❤❤❤❤

You inspire me, both you and Shane. My sister is in a double wide that needs work and I'm hoping to get in and help her make her mobile home her mobile mansion too. Thanks for sharing your life with us.
Thank you.I needed to hear that today.God's got me and not to let a tooth.Let me forget that He's walked with me in the hard days
You and Shane compliment each other. I enjoy watching your videos and your energy level.Please keep doing what you do,
It's normal to want to cry or cry it happens it's ok we all go trough it specially us moms stay positive I love your smile and I enjoy your videos ❤
Girl, you better use that dishwasher. I am the dishwasher too but I'm so happy for you that you have one now and I want to see you using it ma'am ❤❤
I just want to hug you. I understand trauma and fear from the dentist I've had a horrible experience with the dentist growing up too and I understand the pain of the abcess and popping them for relief. It does get better though especially when you find someone you trust. I'm praying for you sweetie.
Merina, You are everyone's best friend. We all love you and your family.
Oh the white was the right choice! It looks so good with the new hardware! Great job and God bless 🙏!
Things are looking fantastic in your kitchen! I am glad that your dental work is progressing. God will always have our backs 🙏❤
You guys should put white cupboards above your washer and dryer and get rid of the wire racks that’s what we did and looks amazing! Keep up the awesome work
Merina, use that dishwasher. It is not a privilege to have a dishwasher. You are a family of six, you homeschool your children, you are a homemaker and you are a digital creator. You have a very full schedule. Using your dishwasher is a timesaver and it’s economically more efficient than letting the water run. Girl, take your shortcuts where you can. Loved this video!! The cabinets look great and the kitchen is coming along nicely.
I always hand wash my dishes.. I think it keeps my glasses clear and doesn’t cause cloudiness..
Also, I just don’t mind washing dishes..
Exactly!! Modern dishwashers save way more energy and water than if you wash them by hand. Use the dishwasher for everything you can get in it and just hand wash what doesn’t fit. Use the time saved to do something else ❤
Great decision Merina on the white. White is neutral and bright. It shows cleanness. Also light colours makes the room look bigger. You are doing a fantastic job along with your husband and children. God bless!😘
Your smile is beautiful!!! Smile big girl!!!😊
Marina. Wow wow wow that’s All I say Wow !!!!!!!
Girl! That dishwasher is a privilege and I take advantage of it daily! 😂 I already have enough to do so if I can take a shortcut I’m there
I love it you are smiling so much more! You are so beautiful! Inside and out!
Your teeth are really beautiful! Love what you are doing to your kitchen. You are a inspiration to many of us and that is because of the relationship you have with the Lord. God bless you and your family!
Merina, might i say you are such a beautiful lady inside and out. I'm so happy for you on your dental journey, i pray the Most High gives you and your family many blessings to come. I so look forward to your videos every week......😊😊😊
Marena. Girl at least 3 days a week pamper yourself you deserve it because WE ALL LOVE u❤️❤️❤️
Hi I am up to date can't wait...put a little curtain for now so it can decorate if I make sense ❤❤❤❤❤
Hello! Please don’t ever feel embarrassed by having anxiety about dental procedures! I worked in a dental office for 20 years and some people just are frightened by anything dental! I’ll be praying for you! If I were there I’d go with you and hold your hand! You’re such a sweet Christian young woman! ❤️🙏✝️
Try that same recipe but mix the pasta (I use Penne or bow ties) with 8 oz of Ricotta cheese, then layer the sauce, cheesy pasta and Shredded Mozzarella a few times to make a few layers, top with cheese and just bake it at 350 for about 35 minutes for everything to combine well. Soooo good, taste like a lasagna almost. I also put a teaspoon or so of regular sugar in my sauce too! House is looking so good!!!!!!
Thanks for the tip! 😊
Its not too much TMI, its normal conversation between you and your friends. So proud of you . ❤ From Boston
33:26 I love your videos. I absolutely love that your kids did that for you . I always cant wait till you post a video. Shane is awesome he loves you so much . Love that you share the realness of life . Share your thoughts and stories .and pray with us . I absolutely felt that shaving thing me too girl i think it grows as im leaving the bathroom.
It’s gonna be fun watching you fill up your pantry and cabinets. You have so much space
Merina i wish I could pick your brain on design ideas to get the most out of my space in a tiny home. I haven't decided on the sizes building yet, but I'm so excited to do some of the same projects you shared with us. Thank you so much for all you do and for sharing your life experiences with us. You're very genuine and relatable!!❤
You crack me up sis, chopping meat with the tater masher.. love it! ❤
Merina bless your heart, yes you do have 4 of the best most sweet and 26:52 kind kidos. Yall take such good care of each. other. I love your cabinets too. Btw.your teeth looked so white and you did so good our brave girl!
Looks awesome girl! Wish I was talented like you. Your smile is wonderful!!❤
You and Shane have raised such amazing children, my kids do the same thing for me when I get overwhelmed and they are 35 and 37. I was so proud of you on how you did at your dental cleaning and extraction!! So sorry you suffered so much with your teeth. God has blessed you with such a wonderful gift . Yes God is always with us watching over us and guiding our path.
Merina one way to help keep your cabinets to where they are easy to wipe down and keep them clean is put polycrylic on them after the paint is dry. I have done that for years every time I paint cabinets.
10:20 🥹 those sweet babies. I have one like that at home. She's SO compassionate and takes such good care of me when I'm down and I am so grateful to be her mama.
Please pray for my friend, she is dealing with so much and I’m So worried about her. She needs mental and emotional strength. Thank you, I love that this is a place so many people can ask for and receive prayers. You brought us all together,
Praying for God's healing strength for your friend ❤🙏
@@marystewart1942 🙏🙏🙏💜
Prayers for your friend 🙏. May the dear Lord give her strength!
❤❤❤❤❤
The black knobs look really good.
Beautiful family! That was sweet and loving of the kids surprising mom. Way to go kids! Family love at its best❤ I love the kitchen ! Happy your dental appointment was positive and great results!!!
My heart breaks for baby Merina. I'm here for any video you want to make. Just love you and your family. ❤❤❤❤
I just love your mobile home mansion makeovers! I have a dishwasher too- but I wash my dishes by hand, and then put them in the dishwasher! (I know I waste a lot of water doing that- but the dishwasher has that super hot sanitizing cycle) When I saw that small ackward space- I was thinking kitchen trash can location. I can't wait to see what you all came up with for that location. I had a weird spot in my kitchen that wasn't big enough for a trash can cubby- so I built a shelf for my cook books. Again, can't wait to see what you all came up with. Girl- YOUR TEETH!!! (they are so pretty) I need to get a dentist appointment and get mine cleaned. Lastly, have you thought about doing freezer meals? This is kinda back to the washing dishes part- but when you make a meal, you can just double it. You can put one meal in the freezer and have one for your current meal. Then- you get 2 meals and only have the major dishes to wash one time. You can google it- there is a lot of good info on the interwebs about it
Oh my, Merina! I have been watching you from the start and i am so happy for you. Your smile is amazing! God is good!
teeth look good. you and shane making a grand job of the kitchen. shane keep being silly it makes me laugh every time. love you all.
Love the white cabinets! And how sweet that your kids helped you and encouraged you! ❤❤ you're raising them up right! 😊
finished watching this just now.....i could listen to you chat allday...seriously!
FYI. I used micro fiber roller on my cabinets. No splatter and looks sprayed. Bought the rollers at sherwin williams. Also used their cabinet and trim paint. Expensive but they have 40% off coupons. Good job.
For many years we didn’t have a dishwasher - I have for thirty years but I mostly hand wash cause it feels therapeutic to my lupus joints and I lookout to the woods- peaceful for me
Baby, please get a dish drain or the mat. I will send you one if you want 😊 . Just to make your kitchen nicer looking because its a beautiful kitchen. ❤
I had to wash my dishes by hand because my 20+ year old dishwasher didn't work well. My hubby bought me a new one for our anniversary. I love it!!! I can put things in it that I could not put in before and they actually come clean! Sorry Merina, I say use your beautiful dishwasher, that is what it is there for. I fill mine up during the day and run it when I go to bed at night. In the morning I empty it. Love that you're trying to keep up but with a family of six time is precious. I know, I raised 5 boys. Love and hugs. BTW, your smile is even more beautiful now than before!
Cabinets look fabulous! Also thank you for reminding me to schedule my teeth cleaning. 😊
Wow you look amazing! Even my son noticed!! and he liked your Kitchen. Love your content and glad God gave you the courage to get the work done on your teeth.❤
For me, a dishwasher is a must not a privilege. I don’t have that kind of time to stand and hand wash dishes.
Loving the kitchen!!
The kitchen cabinets look amazing, plus everything is coming together nicely.
Whew!! A good cry in your closet can solve a lot of problems❤ Adorable as always🥰🥰🥰
You and Shane are raising such Sweet and Amazing children!! 👏👏👏👏
Baby girl please don't put your self down, you are a wonderful beautiful person and baby girl you are very much loved and I know that man loves you the way you are Yes ma'am our Lord God loves you the way you are. Thank you so much for this and I am loving it. God bless all of you 🙏❤️🌹
Gurlllaaa, skipped ahead 2 weeks to your most current video [yesterday], but I'd thought I'd put it to tell you to make sure to wash all new cutlery and cooking utensils because of manufacturing deposits on them (i.e., lube, glue, chemicals etc.) Love y'all!!! And that sink is gorgeous!!!
Couldn’t wait for the clock to strike 7…. Love your channel.
It’s definitely a privilege to have a dishwasher, you work every hard to have it. but it’s better for the environment also. The dishwasher uses less water than hand washing.
